Title: Coming to a town near you - BUDZ!
Post by: Helen on 24 January 2010, 08:07:37 PM: BUDZ stands for Blow Up Doll Zombies that will make its debut in about three or so weeks. Neil of Shadowforge had the initial range on display at Cancon for folks to see. There will be further additions

Sorry for the photograph.

Post by: cheetor on 25 January 2010, 09:17:05 AM: I like a lot of Shadowforge miniatures so I would be interested in seeing their take on some zombies, however...

Are we to assume that the reference to blow up dolls is actually just the name of the range rather than the ranges content?

Or are the figures supposed to represent a blow up doll that has somehow become infected or something?

(I am aware that this may sound like a silly question, but it is a kind of silly name and so, I am genuinely confused)

I would definitely be in the market for a set of female zombie miniatures. A set of female zombie blow up doll miniatures... not so much.

Not much else to say until I see them painted and the concept is clarified.

Post by: Pil on 25 January 2010, 01:04:17 PM: I assume these are walking, flesh eating blow up dolls. Would trake a lot less effort to take them out than a regular zombie I reckon. I think the concept is wacky enough to be funny, but I'd want to see some painted pics first 8)

It all sounds a bit like the concept for a smuttier version of a Doctor Who story to me.

Its an oddball idea for a range. Not really to my tastes I must say but good luck to them nonetheless.

A cigarette butt should be sufficient I would think :D

Post by: Dewbakuk on 25 January 2010, 02:15:16 PM: I may have made a comment in the past about the faces on most/many Shadow Forge figures looking as though they were taken from blow up dolls....... mayhaps they were listening to me....... If so, that's a great way to take the criticism and make it your own :D

Autons gone wild, perhaps?

I'll reserve judgement, however!
