Great figures, any chance that you "kickstart" them in the near future again? They need to be released, I can hear them crying for it

Yes they will 100% be out. I'm going to  get the rules into production first and then ill release the figures to go with the rules. The rules are going through a rework and testing and then ill do the full production version.

There is also a few more figures for the Black Kung Fu gang being sculpted at the moment.

The Warriors, if I'm remembering correctly.

They DON'T have any resemblance to any film that I have seen from the 80's about gang warfare in New York!  ;)

Groovy, my man, totally groovy... lol lol

I keep checking Half Price Books for a copy of The Warriors to show up, but no luck so far. That was one of the iconic films of my high school years...

Yes Rubble Kings is a great documentary. One of the guys that is in it Carlos Suarez (Karate Charlie) recently passed away. He was the main guy from the Ghetto Brothers and did a lot to bring peace between the gangs.

That is a shame, he seemed a decent genuine guy in the doc.
