Jesus Arriago ‘Chucho el Roto--single figure
Arriago was a Mexican bandito (1858-1885) who liked to rob the rich and occasionally share a small portion of his newly-acquired wealth with a few of the peasants. His legend also included his love of fine and colourful clothes and a reputation as a formidable gunfighter. He was seen by some as a kind of bandito 'Robin Hood' figure.
‘LOS BANDITOS’
Banditos were Mexican Bandits and outlaws who took part in every kind of criminality along the Texas/Mexico border during the Wild West era from the Mexican/American War in 1848 until the end of the Mexican Revolution in the 1920’s. During that time, the border was very dangerous due to the political and economic turmoil in Mexico itself.
This caused thousands of peasants to become revolutionaries or bandits who occasionally made forays into Texas itself and other U.S. border states to steal cattle, rob banks, and even attack small towns and lonely ranches and farms.
On the American side of the border, the U.S. Army as well as local law enforcement, such as the Texas Rangers and occasionally vigilantes took their revenge and sometimes ventured into Mexico themselves to exact punishment on the bandito gangs.
Many books and a plentiful supply of movies have featured these ‘banditos’, and so K&C wanted to add a few more of our own…
Due to be released in OCTOBER 2024.
