Populating Mayhem City 13 (Bobby Jackson's Gangsta Thugs)

Welcome back to the hood of Mayhem, where we will introduce a few more of it's inhabitants.   They are more great figures from Bobby Jackson's line.  They need little enough introduction, so let's go.



Now there's a tough looking crew you don't want to cross, zombie apocalypse or not.  Starting on the far left we have Heavy C.  He may be gangsta, and he may have two pistols, but his too small t-shirt and belly showing make me view this character as almost comedy fodder.   Even his pose makes him look like he's about one step away from falling on his face.  Next up is Shades.   He's advancing with a pistol drawn, and always wears his sunglasses, day or night.   Under his jacket he's got a hockey jersey on (probably Boston, but could be a retro Pittsburgh).  His pants are an urban blue camouflage style that I didn't really plan on doing.  After starting with a blue base, the highlight I choose was far too bright.  So I decided to really over do it with the blue, and then added some black marks as well.  I'm really happy with it, and pretty sure it came out better than it would had I planned to do camo from the beginning.





Next up is Jimmy Money, with his gun lined up for the deadly kill shot.   He's got a dollar sign charm around his neck for his namesake.  For some reason I picture Shades and Money as brothers (no pun intended), and will treat them as such in scenarios.  Last of the crew is Cliff.  He's a lot less flashy than his cohorts.   Perhaps he is a little bit older, and a little more experienced than his fellow gangers, but this is less of a game to him.   It's not about dancing around and posing with your gun sideways.  It's life or death on the street, and for that reason he carries a big gun, the only in his crew to carry more than a pistol.   Cliffs shotgun will probably make him fair better than the others in both modern/urban combat and a zombie apocalypse.  

All in all, these are great figures.  I have a harder time picking a favourite out of this crew.  Jimmy Money and Cliff are probably my favourite.  If I had to choose one, it would probably be Cliff, just for his uniqueness in weapon choice.

The gang is growing into quite a force.   I'm really satisfied with what they bring to the table.   Here is a picture of them so far:

Thanks for reading, all comments are appreciated.

    Great stuff. You have quite a little posse of bad asses. You could alway pick up the Jamician posses from Wargames Foundry to use for these for when the get better equipped

  2. I've thought about grabbing some of the Jamaicans from Foundry, but unlike most of their sets, I do not like all the figures in each group. Eventually, I'll probably get them, but they are not a priority at the moment.

  3. Great figures. great paint jobs. I do like how you have personalised them by giving them names and/or nicknames. Always a good thing to do in my book!

  5. Thanks guys, appreciated.
    I don't give all my figures names, especially guys that will fill multiple roles (and some of these guys will do that too). But Jackson's thugs have too much character to not name them, plus its fun to give them 90's style street gang names too.

  9. Since replica rolex we’ve covered the Casio MRG-G2000 collection in other aBlogtoWatch articles, I will not repeat all the piece’s technical specs or the movement’s many fake watches features. In short, the MR-G is meant to not only be among the most visually sophisticated G-Shock rolex replica watches but also an ideal traveler’s watch given the GPS, world-time indication, and automatic time-zone correction features.
    Casio is probably Rolex replica correct that most of today’s Bruce Lee fans are more established consumers and not necessarily the youth market. For that reason, it makes sense to position fake rolex uk a limited edition model in honor of him with one of Casio’s most high-end timepieces. I mention this because most of the brand’s limited-edition G-Shock watches are done with fake watches uk more accessibly-priced models. In that regard, the MR-G Bruce Lee is somewhat special. Casio is producing the reference MRGG2000BL-9A replica watches as a limited edition of 300 pieces, including a special presentation set.
