The All Things THE DEAD Thread (read)- BRAINSSSSS!

[thenammagazine]

I have the entire line from beginning to end, I bought the four babysitters, even to the point of getting two of the International ones from a French dealer because they didn't admit that they were going to carry her at the time and I got a discount for getting two. I have all the Tactical Officers, all of the Doctors and Businessmen and display them happily. I hung with SSC even as they punted the line and made it non profitable. The fact they aren't even offering one Dead 1/6 as a Spooktacular exclusive this year bothers me more than all the other screw-ups.

The smart thing would have been to shrink the line to a one a year thing and we'd still be salivating. To kill the line already when there is so much they teased and so much left to do really bugs me.

They did the same though, with every other 1:6 line so I'm not at all surprised.

Except for Star Wars, which is apparently deathproof.

I was referring to every other canceled line. I have no doubt that Star Wars will have it's day some time in the years to come.

Not the way Lucas is going now.

I'm sure SSC will find a way to move production into LSBs, PFs and Dios. Especially with the record high cancellations. Besides, it'll give them an excuse to bail on the Chewbacca we'll never see.

I wish they'd do more military zombies. Those are the coolest ones IMO. I got my Subject 805 today and he rocks! Only issue is, his dark green clothing (which looked browner in pics) doesn't have such a good contrast with my Street Prophet. Hence... my signature.

Ahem, all of that aside, people would totally buy if good figures were put out. Even the Harbinger sold well (at least the exclusive did), and he wasn't even one of the more elaborate designs. Military, janitors, maybe a half-shirtless guy with diseased crap growing out of his shoulder... if they had good ideas, we'd get 'em. Aaaaaand if they controlled themselves with releasing four variants of every character.

That's official??

Where've you been? Line's "officially" been on hold since the PZ PF hit.

That would be a great idea, but they're have to create their own mailing comany. Copy rights you know, aren't cheap and I don't think any company would want to know as Zombie delivery men.

Thanks bud. We all dress up for Oktoberkurganuary. Ski's got fresh new duds too (just waiting on the rest of Team Test to pick their deadheads)!

 

[Rotfish]

I'll be changing my sig soon, too (as I do with most newly-bought figures I can't get enough of). Speaking of which, here are some shots of the Dead I bought last week!

Love these guys!!

It's nice to see the line through the eyes of someone just getting into it. I really think it's still one of Sideshow's best.

I think when it comes back this is how it will be. Yes, I do think it will come back.

Yet if it does, the utter lameness of historic figures under the contemporary moniker won't be lost on most of us who've collected all or the majority of it. They should continue with The Dead as contemporary releases and if they're that adamant about releasing Abe Lincolns, Nazis and knights as zombies, create another line or license out Max Brooks' graphic novel and create from that.

Somewhat off-track but I didn't want to resurrect an old thread.

Found this custom based on the Dead Xmas ornament on eBay today. As far as customs go, it's a pretty good job.

Hey guys I've gotten into the Dead slowly, I own a few regular and ex versions of the 1/6th line,

I recently picked PZ PF Ex and the Busts.

Hoping that the 1/6th line continues.

 

[ed-209]

just pulled my specimens out of (cold) storage for the holiday.

these guys look great still, even if there are a bit small. Hope sideshow does some more during spooktacular!

I wish the PZ bust would come out already.............
