Zombie Kid Joe

So many [cool!] figures. . . so little time. . .  That is the quandary I currently find myself in: I want to paint, but disposable time is at a premium.

I currently have YM's Blackbeard bust on the bench, and more than likely it will be the next to migrate over to the painting hutch. But what next?

DWC's Mean Machine will definitely be on the bench before the end of the month, and as of this writing, one of its stablemates in the DWC catalogue will most likely be joining him: Zombie Kid Joe.

Joe is DWC's latest release in their "Dawn of the Apocalypse" line. Designed/sculpted by Chris Moffit, it is a brilliant little piece, accurately proportioned and exquisitely cast in 5 pieces (plus groundwork), that though scaled to 70mm, measures but 40mm to the eyes: remember, this is a kid. . . a 4-5 yr.old kid! While there is no official backstory--at least one that has been made public, Rin shared that "the idea was that he hid in a cupboard and was then [attacked] by. . . zombies when he left his house". Good enough!

As I related to Rin, my only concern about this piece is that the simplicity of the kit belies its un- limited potential! You can go to town on this one!! Having said that, the only mod planned as of this writing is to convert the polo shirt to a T-shirt.

An excellent product as would be expected from the folks at DWC.
