Big, Bigger, Biggest?
I’ve been showing off a few of the new Mantic DreadBall and Deadzone figures, but even the biggest of them isn’t that large. I’ve been writing an article about scale in figures and thought it might be my turn to … Continue reading
DreadBall Tentacle Time
As we all know, you can’t have too many tentacles. This is another of the pre-production models I’ve ended up with, and he’s a striking fellow indeed. This early test shot does need a bit of a clean up, but … Continue reading

Having technical issues today I’m afraid. Normal service should be resumed tomorrow – with any luck.
Zombies Are Naughty
I’ve lost count how many zombies I’ve killed today. They are a pesky lot, either dying too fast or not fast enough. Still, “dying” is an odd thing for a zombie to do at all. Yes, I’ve been tinkering with … Continue reading
