Yes, basically.
Personally, I think the narrative about the Zombie Lab figure quality is overblown. But whatever people's views are on that, one thing that doesn't get talked enough about is their accessories. The quality on those is amazing, I would love to be able to buy more of the accessories, and maybe say options with or without blood. In the same vein, Locker Toys has previewed some equally amazing looking sets of fantasy-type weapons. Not exactly clear on this, but it seems like these fantasy weapons are at the very least some kind of Locker Toys co-production. So however the zombie battle shakes out, maybe Locker Toys/Zombie Lab can give some thought to doing more on the accessories side. |

If Locker Toys had only spent the time to ensure they had realistic skin tones on the humans, and didn't make paint apps looks like the figures were homeless with dirt ground into their clothes, I would have actually opened the ZL items I purchased.

From further reading on Facebook, it sounds like ZL sold the molds, were happy to take the money and planned to pay BFS to loan them back when required; maybe this explains the updated heads for ZL? They seem to be claiming that they didn't expect BFS to do a modern zombie line, but to use parts in within other BFS lines.

This makes a lot of sense, thanks. |

Just found the email reply from ZL for the updated heads in my spam folder. If anyone else hasn't had it, then it may be worth checking your spam as well.

I got the email as well. I just can't spring $5 for a replacement head. Maybe if I was one of the people who is qualified to get all 3 heads, it would be worth the $5 they are charging.

I figured less than £4 was worth it for a factory painted head that I can use on another figure.

Not for me in those colors. The skin tones are really bad in my opinion. The human skin tones they selected are perfect for zombie skin tones.

Some have weird skin colour, but I think Marian is good figure and happy to get an extra head.

Yeah, the cheekbones just make her look like she's 35 at the youngest, imho. I think I'll wait for one of the PGV heads to swap out.
