The Zombie of the Month- December 2014- "Guys, Girls, and Dogs" by Twilight Creations
Okay, "Guys, Girls, and Dogs" are not technically the official names of the miniatures. But I didn't want to stick three names in the title. The official product names are: Bag o' Zombies (a pack of 100 identical male zombies), Bag o' Babes (a pack of 100 identical female zombies), and Bag ' Dogs (100 identical dog zombies). They were made as extra figures to the Zombies!!! board game, for people who like to see how bad bad can get.
The Basics:
Scale- Since it's for a board game, there's no official scale, but they are 25mm tall, so let's call it 23mm.
Genre- I'd call it modern, though you could paint them to pass for almost any pre-modern era, also.
Material- Soft plastic. You can bend their limbs every which way, and they will return to normal. If you are not too concerned about paint chipping, you can literally toss them in a box to move them around.
Assembly- zip
Bases- They come on small, irregular bases so they can stand, so you will have to put them on a base. The good news is, the bases they come on will fit on anything, so you can just leave them on it and glue it on top of your regular base, giving them a little more height.
Ratings:


Pros: For the instant horde on a budget, nothing beats it.
Cons: A little small for most games, and NO variety of poses.
P.S.- By the way, there is also a Bag o' Clowns (but that only comes with 50), and there is now a Bag o' Zombies Deluxe for $15, which has 100 figures in 4 poses- even better for an instant horde!
P.P.S.- Speaking of Spinespur's "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid" scenario, if you want to see it happen, go vote for Spinespur in this month's Campaign Contest. If there's another game you want to see, go vote for that one! We have several fine choices available! And who knows, you might just win yourself enough money to buy two of these bags o' zombies, or other great prizes!
A small herd made of a few of each, with a few body parts cut off here and there for variety. |
