I got my zombie sprues from WF this past Friday. They match Cold Wars zombies and Hasslefree figures rather well. The detail is not as good as you can tell from the pictures that have been posted. I think a good paint job would do them justice. I do like having greater choices for converting with plastic figures. All the parts are not as universal or fit together as easily as you would think. WF does have some learning to do when it comes to fitting parts together. There is some trimming involved for some neck ball joints or getting various pieces to fit. Though I consider that minor. It is nothing that requires great modeling skills. But for 0.75¢ a zombie they certainly are better than some metal zombies I have seen going for $1-2+ ea. and I would take the WF zombies over GW zombies any day for modern zombie games. I think it is a good option for casual zombie game players that want some figures without spending a lot. Over all I feel they are worth what I paid.

On a side note, I like their packaging. It does not have a lot of excessive waist. Plus the cardboard insert is recycled paper and the figures are recycled plastic. For me I like to see companies that have put thought into what waste packaging can create. Granted I am sure some gamers could care less. On the down side it came in a rather large shipping box. At least it can be recycled.

I plan on doing a more detailed review later. Plus take photos. I bought the zombies for a conversion project. Though I may build a few as regular old zombies to paint up.

Looking really forward to the pictures while I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my zombies from across the big pond.  :)

It's good to see people taking these for what they are and just enjoying a nice little product. I really can't wait to see more pics!

That neck on the second zombie pic looks a bit bulbous but I'm sure it could be fixed with a little filing.

Good job WF!

Well, it's good to hear some input on them. And if they sit nicely beside HF stuff then I will have to get me some :). Looking forward to those pics!

Is there a UK seller of the WF Zombies? I don't mind buying from the US, but lately the Portuguese Customs are having their revenge on me for all those years when they didn't tax me  lol
