The best way for me to determine if a figure is good or not is to photograph it. A good figure is either very easy to photograph well, like the Dead, or extremely hard to photograph well, CSM. If it is fun to pose, then it is also a great figure. That is why the Dead line is so great. They look cool, photograph great, and are a blast to pose. You can have stiff zombies, loose zombies, limping zombies, hungry zombies, you name it. The best thing is you can change them whenever you want. I really hope we see another figure at Toy Fair. I don't care if it is a SWAT zombie, a news caster zombie or even a construction worker zombie. I just want to add to the crowd.
BTW, I took a few better pics tonight. Hopefully I'll have time to upload them and some older pics of Patient Zero I did in my photography Class.
