Anyone seen these or gotten any? They seem interesting and I might get some if I saw them in a store or if they show up on Amazon. This site has them for pre-order due to be released in October...

Its hard to tell from the pictures but I think these look a bit cheaper than those... I'd still like to get that big zombie pack that comes with 7 or 8 heads.
the Pics are from AFI from Toy Fair 2014

Superheroes might yield some heads, but that's about it.

A few packs of those would actually be pretty slick to have for zombie fodder.

Im not sure about the multi pack It does have the same card art as the 4".
Here is some more info for singes from the same source

ToyChestnews | Action Figure and Collectible Toy News, Release Dates and More - CREATE YOUR OWN COMIC HERO PX ZOMBIE 4IN AF (C: 0-1-2)

but these have a release date of Dec 17th 2014

Your best bet would probably to go to your LCS and ask there because it looks like these will be DIAMONDS exclusives.

I sent an e-mail to a local comic shop to see if I can get more info.

Comic shop said they were special orders and are at the disto centers now. If I stopped in and ordered them the could be here as soon as Wednesday.

:thumbsup:

I don't have a comic store near me though and the one I could hit on my commute home closed down.

what you don't like the $20 shipping charge?

I just e-mailed my order into a local comic shop. Maybe you could work something out with one nearby if you don't have one that can order them for you and possibly ship them.

I should have mine next Thursday or Friday for some more detailed pics. The Super hero ones were delayed a bit and won't be in until late December early January.

So true to their word the LCS received the sets I ordered.
It looks like there is 3 main sculpts and the single carded figures are the same as the ones in the kit.

On the back of the single card it does mention to collect all 3. I only got one but it is the same sculpt as one in the kit. I could be wrong about that. I'll see if I can contact EMCE for clarification.

anyways here are some pics of the figures in their carded prisons. I'll open them up and add some more detailed pics of the sculpts in a little bit.

The do come with quite a bit of articulation though.
1x Ball neck- It does have the neck on the head though so it ends up acting more like a swivel neck instead. If you have the time I would suggest removing the neck from the head and possibly sculpting it onto the torso instead.
2x swivel/hinge shoulders
2x single hinge elbows
2x swivel wrists
1x swivel waist
T-crotch
2x single hinge knees
2x hinge ankles

You will have to be careful with the hinges though because the pin that holds the joint together can come out.

I mainly got them to see what the heads turned out like. You are right that the bodies are terrible and the proportions are bad and the sculpting details are equally lacking.

The zombies are great all around.

For those that have not seen these in person here is a look at the zombie pack.

It comes with 3 bodies and 8 heads. some more various body parts to mix/match your zombies up.

Here are the 3 bodies next to some standard 1:18 figures



and here is the same bodies with the additional 5 heads.
