Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers

Today we have the final two poses of Toxic Zombies from Zombicide: Toxic City Mall! Two different sets of male Zombies in puffer jackets.

While the blog hasn’t had consistent updates over the last couple of months, I was still doing some painting during that period, even if I was not actively posting.

So with two more sculpt types left to complete the Toxic Zombies, I managed to knuckle down and get them (finally) complete. If I had been posting with frequenct at the time I did these, we’d have had a post for each as I got each set done, but as I’m posting them tso much later a combined post for both works.

Both types of remaining walkers are males wearing puffer jackets. When photographed en masse these two poses in particular look like a troupe of dancers from the Thriller music video.

With these shirtless, puffer-jacket-wearing undeadlies, you can pretty clearly see why I did not put out the call for more t-shirt design nominations – though there will be (at least one more) set of T-shirt wearers in the (near? ish?) future to paint.

That’s it for the moment. I’ve not quite got all of the survivors and such from, Toxic City Mall painted (yet, I think?) but I’ll have to get a shot of all of my Toxic Zombies as well as a “boxed set completed” shot including the survivors once I have them all done.

Painted Marvel Zombies Black Panther Miniature Figure

Once again we have the third post in a Marvel Miniatures Trilogy – in this case, it’s Black Panther!

A very authentic “cat-style” view of Black Panther!

Black Panther’s model is a pretty nice one, despite my usual disdain for tactical rocks. I guess he’s perched on a rubble-strewn tree this time. Central Park, perhaps? Once again I’ve gone for the Purple highlighting as opposed to greys – as was pointed out to me some time ago, his black costume was highlighted with purplish-blue in some of the classic comics so I decided to go with that with these three figures. Blue was also popular in a great many of the comics, so if I have any more dupes of T’Challa, I may go with blues in the future for variation. ( I know there’s at least one newer MCP figure I don’t yet have of him).

One thing that Black Panther does not have in Marvel Zombies is a Zombie/undead version. As the game was in development shortly after Chadwick Boseman’s passing, Disney quite understandably decided that it would be in …poor taste to have a Zombie version of the actor in a licenced board game, so Panther is one of only a few heroes in the game to not have Zombie counterparts.

Painted Marvel Zombies Heroes Resistance Black Panther Miniature Figure

Here’s this newly-painted version of Panther alongside the previous “Heroes Resistance” version – so I have one Grey Panther and one Purple-black one for Zombies. So, yeah – if I have a third version it would work to make him a blue-black (not sure if another alt sculpt is in one of the KS extras boxes).

And to wrap up, here are all four painted versions of my Panthers-who-are-Black figures (so far). No doubt the future will hold at least another one or two, but this will have to do for the time being!
