Actually, I'm not sure what I want to call him. But he looks like the kinda guy you wouldn't want to be messin' around with in the 30s, so here he is:

Really cool. The suit looks great for the character, but I'm not sure about the Rascus head. I think that better one would be Lucious Malfoy's head (and after I think of this, I realize that that is probably his suit, so to make it more original, you couldn't use his head). Oh well. Cool fig, anyway.

Lego needs to make violin cases. : P

I like 'em. I thought of a very simelar fig when I learned about the batman weapons (this tommy gun in particular), but because I don't have any of the sets and I don't want to buy one gun for over $1 I don't have aany yet.

Good job though, I love the suit, it fits perfectly for a tommy-totin' gangster.

taht gun seems a little advanced for teh thirtys... although maby not...

It's a "Tommy Gun", or more specifically, the Thompson submachine gun that US troops used in WW2 and in the Korean War as well.

Well... Lego just needs to start making some G36s, M4s, AK-47s, and Type-95s to modernize.

As pointed out, the Thompson sub-machine gun was used in WWII, but it was a favorite of gangsters long before that particular war during the Roaring 20's for drive-by shootings, gang wars, and was even a Valentine Day's present (well, maybe just the bullets from the gun).

The army weapon usually used a 30 round stick magazine - gangsters seemed to like the huge 50 and 100 round drums.

Exactly, TTK. I had pictured a minifig just like this when I first saw the Tommy gun in the Batman sets, but I haven't picked any up yet.

Malfoy's three-piece suit fits perfectly, and this head -- one of my new favorites -- is a great choice.

AAAAAHHHHH! The Mob's here! Oh wait it's just a fig. Wow considering my past with them, uh, I mean...oh no. Busted again!

are you talking to me? I'm talking to you!
If you take care of me, i'll take care of you. But if you don't take care of me, i'll really take care of you!

Great figure, love the tommygun, but maybe give him the black johnny thunder hat.

My dad will buy the batman sets as he collects batman, but I think he won't care about the henchman and two face and such... Guns, here we come!

TT

I see somebody's using the "Dunechaser" school of minifig photography. The fig is really cool, I wouldn't have thought to use that head, but it works. Man, I've got to get some of those tommyguns - maybe I'll make a "Piece of the Action" vig . . .

It's the one I learned from, and it works great.

I agree with you on the tommy guns, Azaghal; go out and get some!
