I'm a big fan of zombie movies and the original Dawn of the Dead especially.
I was looking at some fodder parts and the idea just came to me.

That head works shockingly well for Ken Foree. Great choice of source material, too: there's some commercial currently running that features the song from the funny-zombie-hijinks sequence in the mall, and it makes me want to watch Dawn of the Dead every time I see it. Any plans for a Roger for him to hang out with? |

Thanks guys. sgartz wrote: Any plans for a Roger for him to hang out with? Plans for all four of them, actually. Roger will probably have the same basic recipe. I just found a great head for Francine. I'm debating on whether to do Stephen with his bomber jacket or his in-mall look....or just do a zombie version. |

I'll be looking forward to those, big-time. That's a good question about Stephen: when I read that, I pictured him in the plaid shirt, but the bomber jacket look might be kind of cool. The parts exist to do either, so I'll be interested to see which way you go. |

Nice work! What is the source figure for the center zombie in the last photo? |

that head is good, so good I had an instant flashback to when the cop asks him and the others in the helicopter, "Any of you have any extra smokes"? They all said, "Nope, sorry". They take off and they all light up. Great job, seriously, that head and face nail him. |

Love it! The onnnnnly thing I'd change would be to give him an older M16A1 with the 20-round magazine to complete the nod to the late 70's. |

Head isn't quite as spot on as the one for Peter, but it's a good action figure likeness. As a pair, unstoppable! Well, not quite, but at least until one has to shoot the other. |
