Post A word on the Zombies
Hey guys, I know these have been a long time coming, and we are getting a bunch off of our shoulders here at once. But I want to let you know, that aside from this Halloween set, we are only planning on releasing 2-3 different Zombie characters a month (unless there is a special reason otherwise), and then maybe 1 other SOI character a month. That way, it only costs $100-150 a month to keep up if you want to be a completist on Zombies, and $150-200 for the whole SOI world. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, so they weren't concerned we were going to run their pocketbooks into the ground with this line. Enjoy! (and remember, it is supposed to be fun to collect this stuff - right?)

We have 7 zombie heads now and more on the way (corgie head? (maybe? (please!))). The Hooded Zombie will be hard to come by turn spring. The other characters will be released at a budget friendly pace.

Lamour Supreme's Mongolion will be in production by late November; I do intend to drive everyone a little crazy with this figure so be ready to scramble at years end. I think this is Condo's best work since the KvP and I am going to enjoy releasing it.

I love the escargot figure the most as well. But I think it takes a shotgun seat (cant say back seat, escargot is sick) compared to this :wink: .

Pick-and-choose my man. Realize early on you can't have them all, get the few you like most and it all works out ok.

Thanks for the info. Being far from a completist, i'll be a lucky man if i can just pick up my few favourite versions. That being said, there's still a lot of catching up to do. The Mongolion will no doubt be one of the best toys released in '08. Demented and jawdropping.

Have to learn to invest some dough here and there. Most of my earnings are yieldings from investments. I make a good living no doubt but that is mostly spoken for.

Theres actually not as many released as you would think. These are whats out there so far.

There is no official Zombie check list, and the SDCC Cobra Commander was the first release.

A full released/announced Zombie Checklist would include:
SDCC Cobra Commander
River Children Clear Green Zombie Imp
Thrashout/S7 Silver Coffin Set (Hood Zombie, Zombie Imp, Ooze Bat & Zag Zombie)
Superfest Escaregot
Superfest Zombeard
Red Coffin Set (Hood Zombie, Aracnombie, Zombeard, & Escaregot)
Moshi Moshi Hood Zombie
Halloween Hood Zombie
Halloween Zag Zombie
Un-announced= SSSS Hood Zombie

This doesn't include any unpaints or protos.



So comparitively there arent that many to collect if you start now before the releases start to flow if your a big fan of these guys. I wasnt at SDCC but have since found a love in my heart for them.

I think by the time we spread these releases out over all the different sculpts, you will realize it will take us months to release another version of the same figure at this pace. I think for all of us, we have spent $150+ on a single figure, much less whatever else we were buying that month. To be able to stay complete for $150 a month is pretty cheap compared to the pace of a lot of companies out there. That said, I hope that you guys are buying them because you like them, as that is the point of it all. Enjoy it!
