Nice subtle painting. Personally, I would accentuate the eyes a bit more, but overall very nice.  :)

Thanks!  I do "tabletop quality" paint jobs.  I can do eyes, but life is too short.

I get that plastics production is complex, and doing all the figures on one sprue is the simplest way, but... these boxes would be ideal IMO if there was one sprue with one each of the oddballs, (such as overweight guy and gal, cricket bat, tennis racket) and then multiples of a sprue with the more generic bodies.  

As others have mentioned, they are still good value even if you don't use all the bodies, but I can't see myself ever putting together  and painting more than one big woman with an RPG and her asscrack showing.  

Ah well, it is what it is. Still on my "to buy" list.

CptJake's zombiefication does make me wonder if it will be possible to mix these bodies with heads and arms from the zombie vixen sprues, creating "infected" versions of the figures.

Worth an experiment...

You certainly can.  I've done a couple mixing female survivor heads and arms with Vixen bodies to create a couple of survivors.  I haven't built any going back the other way with the females, but I did do some with the males.  They also fit with swaps on the Studio miniatures zombies as well.  I've got some more pictures and descriptions at my blog:

I also created a woman survivor using men survivors accessories and zombie vixen body :



So I bet it's possible to mix WF zombie vixen and female survivors bits too.

That's interesting, the Zombie Vixen bodies give some pretty dynamic poses when you put them together with the Survivor parts.
