Neat aren't they? I'd imagine they would be very popular if more people knew about them. Be good for Vice City 1985 style games…

Now, where's me jet-ski?

Picked up the lot at Salute, painted them up – love them. I'm currently trying to persuade Trevor to expand this line with some other factions – Triads, Cartels, Irish Mobs, Lock Stock... types.

I liked them too glad other people have seen the great products on offer by Dixon

Ide also love to see the range get expanded too.

And they work so well with Street Violence and KKBB figures, here's my little Yakuza gang.

Looks awesome
Are the street figures nice models?
Ive seen them a few times but i dont want to buy them yet

Can anyone tell me what they think?

Regards
Steve

[Bugsda]

Do you mean Foundy's Street Violance? Some models are excellent, some are crap, Copplestone's future wars are better. Sizewise they all work well together.

[Col.Stone]

Had not seen those, very nice

[Smith]

Does anyone have any suggestions for other packs with which this range could be expanded?

[Heldrak]

I've always found the Dixon Samurai range far too squat and ill-proportioned (I prefer the Perry Bros. & TAG lines, among others), but I do rather like those Yakuza (particularly Bugsda's stellar treatment of them).

Nice work as allways Bugs 
Did you paint the display yakuza for Dixon? they were nice too.

Saw these at Warfare and was very tempted, they are much less chunky compared to other Dixon ranges.

Not that i mind the chunky sculpts, especially since i switched my Parry samurai army for Dixon samurai, much nicer to paint IMHO.

I think Adey painted Trevor's Yakuza.

Yeah! Perry Samurai are quite hard to paint, Dixon's are a big, smooth, blank canvas in comparison.

I could paint Dixon Samurai all day long
