comparison pic of gangsters

I posted this on frothers and I thought I might as well post it here too, in case anyone of you are thinking of mix and matching gangsters from a few manufacturers.  Personally, I like them all!

That's interesting.

I was always under the impression the Dixon line was much smaller than the other lines and wouldn't mix well.

Now I have another entire line of minis to buy.

well, I was surprised at the Dixon cowboys too, they fit good with the Foundry/Artizan. Thanks for pic, FG

Cool picture, very interesting. I'm sorry to see the Brigade Games' Gangsters are much smaller. Nevertheless I'm going to buy them ALL sooner or later. Epic gangwars, you know... ;-]

[fatgoblin]

to be honest I was quite suprised how big the dixon ones were!  Lovely minis anyway, they will look great next to the others when painted!

[WitchfinderGeneral]

Sure. You could also lower down their cast-on bases. This will bring them 1 - 2 mm closer to the other figures.

[fatgoblin]

they are about the same height as copplestone, but look bigger because of the extra chunkiness.  

But I was suprised not really because of its actual size but because I expected it to be much smaller since the samurai, wild west and pirate figures that I have were on the small side.

Have you also a picture of the dixon cars ?

Useful Pic FG.  It looks like the Dixon proportions are not too far off compared to the others.

@Grimm - I emailed Dixon about their car.  According to them, their car is closer to 1/48 scale, so it would go better with the 1/43 diecasts.  The Dixon car is a common 1920s car - the Willys Knight.  But this car unfortunately is very hard to find as a diecast model.  The diecasts are only of the luxury or sports models, and it is very hard also to find a normal Ford Model A Sedan in 1/43.

I see that the dixon minis have passenger in there car´s do you think they are compatible to the diecasts cars ?

Also there are rumours abaut  Sloppy Jalopy car passenger do you know more ?

cheers grimm

Here are some pictures of the figures squeezed into a few diecast cars.  Some will fit, some will require you to take apart the car to get them in, some will require a bit of filing on the figure and some just won't fit.

Here are some that did.  Not exactly the iconic mobster's car like the Dixon one though
