Good deal - you can never have too many zombies.
-
They're nice fillers - but I can't help thinking some of them look a lot like some of my fellow commuters... :o
-
Just snarfed some!
Thanks for the heads-up!
-
And I thought I was done buying zeds for a while. Ordered a pack.
Snitchy sends.

Ordered this lot on Friday and received them on Saturday (I live about 30 minutes from where Victory Force is located, but that's still same day shipment). I really like this lot. I own most zombie ranges, and these compare well. More "realistic" than Golgo, but not as sharp as Studio. For a dollar each, they are much better than Black Orc. I think they compare well to Zombiesmith.
Great variety of poses (I probably got only 5 or 6 duplicates). Arms in various angles (some even gripping the body). Surprising amount of detail in some clothing: aprons, jackets, lots of ripped pants, etc. They aren't all the same body type either (yay for fat zeds!). The real treat for me are the 11 female zombies that came in the lot of 50. Overall, I'm very pleased this is not a horde of clones.
This is my second order from Victory Force and I've been very pleased both times.

Just placed an order since I missed it the first time around.

Could you do any close up shots?
Tempted but never seen them up close, any painted yet?
-
Sorry...none painted and no shots.
-
If I can spare the extra money I will have to try and order these tomorrow. I need more Zombies, I have been focusing lately on Survivors, I currently have more of them then I do Zombies, though for my survivors I am lacking in the Military/Law Enforcement area and possibly ganger area. I also need to get me some more Mantic Ghouls to use for Ragers in ATZ.
-
Just placed an order since I missed it the first time around.
I placed an order on Sunday evening and it arrived already today (Wed). I can echo the comments above. I'm quite pleased with the figures and found them to have even more character and flavor than I anticipated since they are advertised as being fairly basic. Some of the figures I received are variants of each other, but in my batch of 50 only two are actual duplicates. For even further variety, 8 of the figures in my batch are female.
I'm quite happy with this purchase and these figures will mix very well with my existing zombie horde. Now I just have to get around to painting them...
-
If I had a spare $50 (plus shipping to the UK), I'd love to have these. I really don't need to start something new and so far have resisted Zs, but a nice cheap hoard of these is really tempting :(
Someone please hurry up and get some painted ;)
-

Resistance is futile...

here they are: Victory Force Zeds

-
They look a lot better with a nice paint job :D The nekkid zombie lady is surprisingly disturbing, though :?
Not the greatest figures, but certainly a bargain at a dollar apiece and well worth the investment.
As for resistance, it's much easier when your bank account is constantly empty :'(
lol

The deal is back again. I passed the last couple of times, but my resolve is weakening. Can anyone who bought the deal tell me how many repeats they got in the pack?
-
I'm still working on mine, but I've only seen one dup so far.

I bought the deal the last time it was offered. Some of the figures I received were variants of each other, but in my batch only 2 were actually duplicates. Eight out of the 50 figures were female.
-
I bought it last time too. I haven't looked at them in a while, but I seem to recall mine being similar to Maniacus. Some variations of each other but only two true duplicates. I don't remember how many were female.
-
Thanks everyone. The lack of repeats is good and varriations of figures are fine with me. They are a great deal and I think I'll break down and get a set this time. I only wish they were taller. Most of my other zombies are 30mm to 33mm.
-

You will not notice when they are mixed into the horde. They should fit right in to the normal height variation for your zombie population. Here is my example. The victory force zeds are in there, I promise.

Haven't got the VF zeds yet, and although my horde is at around 400, I will be adding them at some point.

I received my order today. (Quite fast!)
My set had 9 duplicates and broke down 11 female/39 male. There aren't that many of the varriants, so I'd estimate that there are 31 truely different sculpts. All are single part models, no flash and I'd estimate less than 10 have mold lines that need to be reworked.
Also, the VF sale page didn't state it, but you also get 50 25mm round slotta bases too boot.
Not too shabby for $1.13 per model. I'm pretty pleased overall.

It looks gone. I wouldn't worry though, VF have put the deal up three times so far so I'd expect it to come back again before the end of the year. You could always email them and see if they might give you a break.

True enough. I measured the most erect sculpts and they average about 30mm from bottom of foot to the eye, so they actuall scale up pretty well with my core zombies (Horrorclix and Mantic).
-
Grr I missed it again. LOL it seems like when ever I have the money to do this deal its always after the deal has ended. Hopefully they don't run it again for a month or two so I can get enough together to purchase 2 or 3 of the 50 for $50 deals, my horde is starting to lack, especially next to my survivors, who know out number the zombies.

I'm in the same boat as well old chap, so I emailed those nice people at Victory, and they confirmed that it ended last sunday...
BUT, it will be running again, sometime soon...
So, with that in mind, could whomever see's the deal is back again first PLEASE post on here in plenty of time so that all of us old codgers have enough time to power up our steam powered laptops....

Of course, they would add the new zombies to the pile after I buy my set. :'(

As of August 12th, the deal is back again for a limited time. http://blog.victoryforce.com/

Hmmmm. Must resist the temptation. Still sitting on 80 unpainted. Must resist. Must.......

Just attracting more attention to this, so no one misses out.
I'm going for it this time.
On another note, does anyone own any of their Survivor sets? I'm thinking of getting the office attire group.
-
Hopefully I will be able to order these this time around, hopefully no bills this week that have to be paid. I am glad that VF keeps offerint the 50 zombies for $50 every couple months or so and not once a year, it actually will give those of us like me who have limited funds (my case due to all extra funds going towards a new vehicle) the chance to get in on the deal.
-
Yes I know Double Post, but just thought I would give everyone the heads up. The 50 zombies for $50 deal ends tomorrow Thurs. Aug. 18 according to the Victory Force Blog.
And yes I was able to FINALLY order me the deal, now my horde can grow so it will again outnumber the survivors.

Just odered a set @ 11.20 am BST - aren't timezones a wonderful thing. ;)

lol Always a challenge...

Just got my VF Zombies, quick check, only see 5 zombies that have duplicates. Also noticed that will have to take the file to a majority of the tabs, they don't fit in the slotta base.
Other then that so far the figures look good for the most part, one or two look to have some rough details, though on a zombie these are easy to hide with excess gore.
I would/will gladly order this deal again if VF offers it and I have the money (might even order two sets of the deal).
Also been eyeing the VF Not-Myth Busters along with some of the other figures such as the Office staff (both armed and unarmed) and a couple of their Redd Redan figure sets that I can use in my All Things Zombie games.
-
They have a special going now for their Suburban Knights range, which covers the Mythbusters and the office staff. Two packs for $25. I ordered the pack with the Mythbusters guys.
-
Wellender- Yeah I know I seen that, unfortunately me buying the 50 Zombies for $50 has claimed most my budget for minis for the rest of the month. Though it doesn't help that up until just last week I was without a vehicle and all my spare money was going towards a new one. Plus with work and what not it will probably take me a while to get all 50 zombies painted, though the 5 figures that I have duplicates of I may not paint the duplicates and just use them as trade fodder.
-
I got mine in the mail today. Of the 50 8 were duplicates, 1 was a triplicate and 6 were females. I'm still quite happy with them, though I wish I had lucked out with a few of the more "unique" sculpts. i do have a legless zombie that is quite nice.
At the same time, I also picked up the Dinosaur mascot zombie, the very tall basketball player zombie and Bruce, the office survivor.
-
A_Train- If you feel up to it check out my post here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=32291.0 I am looking for some help on creating a picture database off all the Horde/50 for $50/10 for $15 zombie to go with the product number found on the figures tab (or the bottom of the figure in the case of the legless zombie). Also in that thread in one of my posts is a PDF attachment that I got from VF with a complete list of all the numbers of the zombies in the Horde/50 for $50/10 for $15. The numbers with a check mark are in the horde and the A's with a check mare are the conversions in the horde.
If you do help and supply pics of the minis (along with the number on the tab) you will get credit for your help when/if I can get the database together, It will be posted over on my Blog as a seperate page).
-
Sure. I will attempt to help you here, though I will be honest, I struggle to make out a fair number of the IDs on the tabs.
-
Found another triplicate.
Also, did the photograpy and listing of every zombie. The photos may not be the best, but they'll get the job done. I didn't have it in my to align each one with a backdrop etc.
I also showed which ones I have multiples of. I'm willing to trade any of those for ones I am missing.

Your horde should outnumber your survivors by 10:1 so you're not trying hard enough to acquire new dead lead! ;)

According to thier blog, this deal ends Oct 31st, and will NEVER be offered again at the 50 for 50 price. Get your zeds cheap while you can.
