I'm not into zombies, but I have to admit, those are pretty darn nice.

The dead are definitely taking over.  Boxes 3&4 for me.

Personally, I'm not that into zombies with weapons.  Also, I don't know if I'm really that into multi-pose zombies made of metal (I really wouldn't want to pin together that many models...especially if plastic alternatives become available soon).  I'm not into WWII zeds either, but I might buy that set for a few choice figs.  However, I'm definitely hyped about that final set of single pose modern zombies without weapons  :D

Hopefully having bigger sets will keep the per zombie model cost down too.  Is there anyone still resisting the zombie craze?  ;)

Given how much painting is involved, I'm finding it easy to resist the craze.

With Zombies I go for quantity over quality, drybrushing all the way.

I'm glad they did a set without weapons. I'd buy those if they were readily available in the UK. Some of the german zombies are very nice too.....

I believe Old Glory UK carry the Blue Moon stuff.

Me too. I really can't stand zombies - the films or the figures.

I have to admit that the Blue Moon figures do look like the sculptor has aimed to create a zombie. Many of the others seem to be simply bad sculpts.

I can't wait for this bandwagon to go by.  :-[
I don\'t know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

TBH mate, i'm not overwhelmed.  Not saying i won't buy them, of course, but for me, some of the poses are just plain daft, the anatomy lazy, or questionable, and the ones with weapons in need of converting.  I'd place them in the same category as the placcy knob rot ones - ie buy if i run out of other things to do.  But then, i've already got 200 painted zeds, so maybe i'm just a bit grumpy this evening.

Just bought the Matt lord ones from Hasslefree - nice!

Next up, the very frothy Studio Miniature range - very Romero-esque.
