The Walking Dead "The Governor" mini?
« on: 24 September 2013, 11:24:31 AM »
So I just finished season 3 of the series, and I feel like I need a Governor mini for my zombie games. I know Studio Miniatures does a version of him from the comic series, but does anyone do a TV show version? I'm fine with anything in the 25 to 32mm range.

Thanks!

hmm not really. Either way your gonna have to convert one. Either use the WGF male survivors to make one. Or use the Studio Miniatures one with a head swap.

I like that Hasslefree Governor especially the Styer that he's carrying.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Hasslefree has a TV version of The Governor (albeit with a bit longer hair)

I like the TV version better than the comic version myself, just because the "proper" Governor is just so evil and ruthless.
Edit: now that I look closer his eyepatch is on the wrong eye...sorry ;)

I thought so. I remember watching the show and he was firing his styer )right handed) and I thought: How can he aim with an eyepatch? The configuration of the weapon doesn't allow for that.

It seems all of Hasslefree's NOT TWD minis are based on the Comic versions

Rick, Lori, and Carl

Michonne (I have these models, waiting to be worked on)

Darryl

Don't get me wrong, these are great minis, but like you, I'd like to have TV versions.

Its bugging me now. They are not Hasslefree miniatures. They are made by Studio miniatures but both company sell the others products in there stores.

There I feel better now. Daryl Dixon isn't in in the comics he was created for the tv series only.

Consectari How does the Governor figure even look like Snake Pliskin really? Just because he has an eye patch?

I say it is more than just the eyepatch. But that is just me. :-)

I really don't see it. The governor figure is not even wearing the same clothing, weapons, different hairstyle, Handlebar moustache?

I've seen Escape from L.A plenty of times thanks I'd re watch it If I was you might refresh your memory. Even the Picture you posted looks nothing like the governor figure?
