The paint work on the Zombie is fantastic! But what does Martin not paint that is not fantastic?

January's figure I'd expect to sell out much faster than Zombie ;)

Yes it is and always is...you must've missed what was being said: I think he airbrushed the entire body. Even parts hidden by clothing. Which is almost never done by any toy company. Yet Zombie got the serious royalty treatment. In every avenue possible. Great figure.

It was probably necessary that he did that for that figure....though I doubt anyone will be undressing him :).....I now need some P---T--M

Amelia. Amelia. Amelia. You really need an orthodontist,lol. Love them both....but Trilogy is my favorite of the two.

I agree and had to go for the trilogy myself  ;D

Both of these are really great work with the sculpting and paintwork and the artwork is a nice bonus as well. I've always found the DD figures to look even better in hand but these already look top notch so I'm looking forward to opening my parcel already.

The end of the year has been shaping up nicely for me and look forward to seeing how the year end.

Thanks as ever to all involved, top marks all round!

Very cool set of Steve Thompson sculpted releases this morning.  I've been waiting for Amelia/Possessed Karen Black for a long time, and with her ultra-cool accessories including little Zuni Fetish doll & knife, she does not disappoint!  The only minor complaint I have is that I was hoping she would come in a TV Terrors box, rather than on card (to stay consistent with the previous Demon Creature from Don't Be Afraid of the Dark).  Nonetheless, very happy with the way both figures came out.

I like the boxes better too.... when the post office doesn't annihilate them. However, Dark Night of Scarecrow started the revert back to cards on TV terrors due to smaller edition sizes. I can live with it. BatCave Toys on ebay can always make boxes if we wanna display them that way, but I am ok as is. Just glad we got the boxes we did.

 I am also glad the faces in circles showing all that will comprise a wave are gone. That way if a wave terribly under performs no one is left asking "Where's Waldo". Also because, while I collect the TV terrors line, I have no intention of buying every character that gets made in the series. While I am all about getting "The Norliss Tapes" reanimated corpse, I honestly won't be pining for figures from "Crowhaven Farm" anytime soon.

Emce will have future generations forever seeking Mego versions of Nurse Chapel and the Orion slave girl from their Star Trek line. Because they drew their faces on the cards....but the line ended before they released them,lol. I honestly think Martin would be better off abandoning some of the characters from unfinished lines. Like Radu. Because it won't sell well. No sense losing one's shirt on fan figures after all. They need to at least break even to make it worthwhile. Some characters simply won't do that.

I wonder if Martin painted the full body on the Karen Black figure (like he did the Zombie). I wouldn't undress that one, but this one....

He didn't. There is no need to....it's on the much better Gracie (Yvonne) female body as he moved away from the FTC junk bodies.

In fact, I put all my previous DD female figures (FN Amy, Female Deadites) on Yvonne bodies which prompt the needed change. Martin is now using the best bodies on the market,(S types,Gracie's) and no more rubber banded garbage to make him the best in what he does all around and at a very low price considering how expensive customs can be

Wait till December and January's figures featuring a new body (both will be HOT!). Martin opens the door again for characters we would likely never see otherwise

Where does one find the new improved bodies if  Wasp Woman wanted an upgraded bod?

KC’s Galloping Gals on facebook. David Lee no longer sells the Yvonne body and a new owner took it over calling it GRACIE. You will need to dremel a larger hole under the head to fit the body though. What a difference it makes too. ALL my ED ladies,plus Amy,  look stellar on them. I'd post pics,but this websites setup doesn't allow

The only females I have are Wasp Woman and Amy. I imagine the new bodies are a vast improvement. I hate rubber band bodies.

I'd love to see what these new bodies you used on characters like Amy look like so if you've posted them elsewhere I'd love to see them. The one thing that makes me nervous is removing the heads from the original DD bodies. I'm worries that they might get damaged when transplanting them. Also did you repaint the bodies if they had paint on originally?
