ThinkGeek is running a sale on some plastic army men and zombies...As I am big into 20mm figs (ie plastic army men) I thought this would be a great set to use to increase my variety of zombies. A few extra survivors wouldn't hurt either. So, I put them on my Amazon wishlist for Christmas.
My In-Laws (of all people!) got them for me. Great, right! Wrong! The figures are nice, well sculpted....and about 45mm tall(!) Who thought THAT was a good scale? not only are they waaay too big for my 20mm stuff, they're not even terribly useful for the standard 28mm gamers! I sent them to Dexter (from the Board of the Living Lead) to see if he could do something with them, as I can't.
The big gripe I have is that ThinkGeek didn't put their scale on the page, just that they were zombies and troopers of "traditional plastic army men". Now, is it just me or does "traditional plastic army men" bring 1/72 scale figs to mind? Or even 1/35 at the outside, not 45mm.

You know what's annoying?
For once, I'd like to find a miniatures company that sells 1/72 (20mm) female figures in metal or plastic that are NOT...
1. wearing miniskirts and high heels
2. wearing lingerie or evening dresses while fighting
3. Are about to burst out of their tops
4. as above, but also have huge....hair.
6. carrying double UZIs, MAC-10s, etc.
7. wearing garter belts
Now don't get me wrong, I am quite a fan of the female form. However, IMO women in the Zombie Apocalypse(TM) should be much like the men. On the whole dressed as Joe or Jane average. Maybe carrying a revolver or shotgun, but that's it.
In fact, what I'd REALLY like would be the above normal figs carrying axes/axe handles, pool cues, baseball bats and other types of improvised weapons. Something you'd grab if you saw a shambling corpse moving your way while you're at work or lunching at McFoods.
I can't find any!
If any of my four followers know where to get some Jane/Joes like that, please let me know! :D
