I just have the Lupin figure. Used to have fun posing him around my room, peering out from behind books in the bookshelf or by the curtains in my window.
I'm missing Fujiko and Zenigata, but I have these as well. They're really cool.
"If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man."
After seeing your post, I got some on eBay. I didn't know they made all those characters. I'm not familiar with the story but have always wanted some of the figures.
FYI, Laurie, Lupin III (or Lupin the Third) is a comedy/action anime TV and movie series about an international thief... Lupin, the main character, is the guy in the green jacket. He's kind of a charming bungler who always manages to slither free of trouble. The samurai and the guy with the hat are his partners, the girl is a rival thief who is always trying to beat him to the best scores and the guy in the trench coat is the police inspector who chases him around the world to arrest him.
The best movie in the series is Castle of Cagliostro from 1979, which was directed and co-written by highly regarded Japanese anime director Miyazaki, who also directed Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away. If you spent any time in arcades in the 1980s, you might remember an animated video disc game like Dragon's Lair called Cliffhanger... it used several scenes from Lupin movies.

Thanks for the info Mego Steve. I always like the bad guys.... I'll have to try to see some of the shows.
