Jazwares World War Z 6-Inch Figures Revealed

[Joe Moore]

They don't look particularly great. However, the Gerry figure (which has no resemblance to Brad Pitt) comes with a f#@*ing LOBO (if you read the book, you know what I mean)! That was unexpected.

I can't believe companies are still using v-cut hips.

[ludovicotek]

These are 6" ?!!! They look like 3.75" with the cartoonish looking details. Man, Jazwares really needs to step it up with their sculpting.

McFarlane and NECA still do it.

As far as their 6(8?) inch stuff goes, I'm pretty sure they have done away with V-hips. Either they get a ball-hinge, swivel-hinge, or nothing at all (Freddy/Terminator )

Those look like 6" versions of Dollar Store toys. Awful.

Their Regular Show figures look better than these do haha.

If a toy company was smart they would release well-articulated zombie figures with interchangeable parts (heads, accessories) in the 4" & 6" scales. People would buy the shit out of 'em to use with their existing collections.

So far, none that I've seen.

Too bad there not 4 inch figures my Joe's could use some more to fight.

Check out McFarlane's Walking Dead line. Not exactly V-cut, but half-V.
Also, NECA's Predator line had V-cuts for the longest time, even as recently as their toys for Predators.

How Jazwares manages to pull any licenses is beyond me... they're so consistently bad in just about everything they put out.

I'd be stoked on the lobo if they weren't facing super tsunami wave forming zombies in the film that instantly render close quarter combat impossible.

[Poison Shadow]

I may actually consider grabbing the zombies - it all depends on how they look in person if/when I see them, and even then... well, it's not too likely. I mean... it's Jazwares.

I haven't see the flick yet (maybe after work today), but a newer TV spot actually showed Pitt using, what looked like, this lobo in a hallway setting. But you are correct. The setup of the film definitely minimizes the effectiveness and original intention of the lobo.

Honestly, if it's a "head shots only" scenario in this movie, humans are f*cked. I'm really holding out on watching it pending a review from someone else that loved the book. My wife and I are still so bummed on this new "vision".

[Joe Moore]

Saw the figures yesterday. Honestly, as 6" figures, they're just not good.

[Poison Shadow]

Ah, well that's too bad. It's a shame: if jazwares had made these in McFarlane's goofy 5" scale then I would have bought tons of these just to add more zombies to my Walking Dead display.

As it is, there's no other 6" zombie-related toyline that I know of... though I still hold out hope that someday someone will start a full line of 6" Resident Evil characters and monsters.

[trebleshot]

Why, Jazwares, why? So much potential seemingly squandered.
