Review of NYCCMaximum Zombies 2-pack
Launching at the NYCC this year was another in house line ofminimates, Maximum Zombies! The timingon these is pretty great considering the high wave of pop culture fame zombiesare riding right now!
Packaging – This exclusive uses the standardblister pack style packaging with a fully clear plastic bubble. This offers great visibility for the productas well as what is all included in the set. The card back looks awesome, very fitting to the line and the back has agreat write up about both minimates included in the set.
Doctor – I cannotbelieve how epic this zombie is!! DSThas gone above and beyond here. Theblood splatters, the torn clothes, the detail of ties for the scrubs and mask!!!But the coup de gras has to be the bloody minimate handprint on the gown, whatgreat little detail!!! I love the facialdetail too; the broken glasses and the bloody mouth are brilliant. To top it off that detail carries into thesecond head included in the set. It hasthe same broken piece of glasses and the mouth is also all bloody! Add to all these awesome details the bloodyhands/claws and the bloody chainsaw and this is one wicked zombie doctor!
Biker – I have tosay this is another great looking zombie minimate. All the little details like the decayingsunken skin, the stubbed face with thin sunglasses, the belt and buckle, theboots! The tampos are clean and crisp withall the details showing nicely. I lovethe minimate styled skull and crossbones tattoo and the Calico Raiders logo onthe back of the vest. There is anadditional actual vest piece that can go over the torso block and it also hasthe Calico Raiders logo on it – a nice little sideways nod to DST’s other inhouse line of pirate minimates perhaps. This version of the biker zombie looks an awful lot like Dog the bountyhunter and I am not the only one to mention this lol. The second head has a shorter buzzed lookinghairpiece along with a gash across its one eye. I also swapped out the hairpieces for a couple pics, really showing howyou can get a bunch of different looks to the minimates. Bring on the zombie horde!!
I love thisset, as I knew that I would right from the time it was announced. DST really has done a great job designingthese and from the looks of the other zombies they had on display at theconvention this line has some great things coming! I give it a 5 out of 5 with a bite!
