Yeah, another thread on this. I'm sure this will be the same as the last 12. 80% NO, 20% YES.
It's a cool idea for a $50 figure. But hardly anyone will really fork out $250 for a 1/4 scale zombie.
Agreed. I also like the ability to pose them in 1/6 rather than just having a statue of a zombie.
Personally, I think if SS kept the price around $200 (which is likely considering it's not a licensed property) and went with an insanely low edition size, say around 300 pieces, I bet they would have no problem selling through. Then I'm sure we'd see a lot more than 2 out of 10 collectors clamoring for the PF as the aftermarket value skyrocketed. I just think a 1/4 scale Zombie, if done extremely well, would attract a lot more collectors than one might think once they actually saw it. But again, I think a low price point and a very tight ES would be crucial. I hope they do it! They could recycle any number of existing PF clothing & accessories to keep the cost down and I personally wouldn't mind as long as it still stood out.
i would be interested but if they were like $50 dollars a piece or something
That will never happen. Licensing fees or no. You will never see a PF for that price except for Van Helsing eventually.

Low price point + low ES would mean very little money being made off the statues for SSC. Maybe they could justify doing this for one or two pieces, but I just can't see them taking this on as a major line. Even so, I personally couldn't justify paying >$100 for a single zombie statue.
I agree, I don't think anyone is expecting it to be treated as a major line. But it's certainly not beyond SS to produce something with limited revenue potential just for the fun of it. Heck, that's how the entire DEAD line was started in the first place.
