Zombicide Survivors are back with this post! Today we have two representations of Nick Frost’s character “Ed” from classic ZomRomCom Shaun of the Dead.
The first of them are the two figures from Zombicide’s promo survivors – we have actually a pretty good pair of representations of Nick Frost from the film (spoiler alert, I guess?)
Zombicide’s Not-Ed is a much better model and likeness than their Not-Shaun, where the sculptor apparently had never seen a cricket bat before in any form including a photo, and just gave “Fred” a pathetic little bat-tennis bat-looking-thing.
Hasslefree’s take on Ed is a bit less accurate and a lot more generic feeling. “Tony” here is a lot less interesting and just doesn’t especially inspire much. I mean, it’s a decent enough figure but it doesn’t really evoke Ed at all to me.
Regardless, I still painted him up alongside the Zombicide version to keep the paint consistent for the character. I don’t recall Ed wearing a cap in the film, let alone a backwards one, but I could well be wrong. It’s been awhile after all.
Hasslefree’s Ray figure on the other hand is a really nice sculpt. Both of them are, in fact – and whenever we play Zombicide we have one or the other out in case we draw that survivor. Here’s the one that I had handy alongside Ed – together again for the first time, with only nine years in between the two of them being painted. Damn that makes me feel old!
These are of course another trio of figures for Dave Stone’s Paint Whatchoogot Challenge of 2023-4!
