Compare Combat Zone Gonk boxes for Arasaka, Maelstrom, and Tyger Claws. See what each box includes, the trade-offs, and which gang miniatures fit your crew.
Quick answer
Choose Tyger Claws Gonks for three miniatures plus cards at the lowest price, Arasaka Gonks for a lean three-miniature, one-card set, or Maelstrom Gonks for three miniatures with cards and a distinct gang look. All three are Combat Zone gang miniatures, so your pick comes down to gang identity and card support.
What each Gonk box actually gives you
The three boxes share a simple structure: three miniatures and the cards needed to add them to a gang. The Arasaka box lists 3x Miniatures and 1x Character Card, while the Tyger Claws and Maelstrom boxes each list 3 miniatures and cards. That difference matters if you like fielding a full card set for your gang, because the Arasaka box gives you one character card rather than a broader card spread.
Price is the other visible difference. Tyger Claws and Maelstrom are listed at USD 12.80 against a USD 20.00 comparison price, and Arasaka is listed at USD 12.00 against the same comparison price. The gap is small, so don't let a dollar decide for you; use gang fit first.
Gang identity is the real trade-off
These are initiate gang members looking to make a name for themselves, not interchangeable filler. Tyger Claws Gonks and Maelstrom Gonks are described as initiates of their respective gangs, and the Arasaka box is built around Arasaka gang membership. If you already run one of those gangs, the matching box keeps your crew visually and thematically consistent.
The trade-off is variety. Buying one box gives you three miniatures of a single gang, which is ideal for bulking out that gang but less useful if you want a mixed lineup. If you collect multiple gangs, treat each box as a separate project rather than a source of instant variety.
Where these boxes fall short
None of the supplied listings include options such as alternate heads, weapon sprues, or basing extras, so don't expect customization bits in the box. The Arasaka box also doesn't list a multi-card spread, which limits list-building flexibility compared with the other two if cards are central to your games.
If you need a full starter gang rather than a small add-on, these Gonk boxes are not a substitute for a starter set. They are best treated as reinforcements for an existing Combat Zone gang.
Trade-offs to weigh before you buy
- Tyger Claws Gonks: three miniatures plus cards: Pick this box if you run Tyger Claws and want three initiate models with cards in one purchase. The trade-off is that every model is the same gang, so it won't diversify a mixed collection.
- Arasaka Gonks: three miniatures and one character card: Choose Arasaka if you want a low-cost three-model Arasaka add-on and are comfortable with a single character card. The trade-off is less card variety than the other two boxes list. Check whether your list needs more than one character card before choosing this box.
- Maelstrom Gonks: three miniatures plus cards: Go Maelstrom if you want three Maelstrom initiates with cards and a visually distinct gang for your table. The trade-off is the same as Tyger Claws: a single-gang box, not a mixed squad.
