Studio Miniatures Zombies 08 - Tiny Terrors

It has been quite a while since I ran a review of any Studio Miniatures 28mm scale zombies but that all changes with the recent release of this fantastic set, called Tiny Terrors. A lot of figure companies shy away from making zombie children, which is a shame. However, here we have a boxed set containing nothing but zombie children. Top marks to Studio Miniatures for releasing these beautifully sculpted figures.
There are six figures in the set, comprising three boys and three girls. Moving from left to right, I'll start with the boys. First in line, is a kid in T-shirt, short trousers and trainers. He has been shot or stabbed in the stomach.
For the most part, I've just copied the colour schemes as used by Studio, simply because it saves me from thinking up a colour scheme. However, in the case of the boy with the green hoodie, I decided to paint him as an African-American rather than another Caucasian kid. This gives a bit of ethnic diversity to the group. He has been bitten in the right thigh and has a large belly wound.
The third boy zombie of the group is posed very statically. A chunk of his left arm has been bitten and he has been shot in the back. I have smeared blood over his mouth and chin to show that he has been feeding recently.
Now we move onto the girls and first up is the wee lass in a pretty pink dress. A bullet has entered her chest and exited out of her back, no doubt killing her instantly... only for her to rise again as one of the undead.
The girl in the brown jacket and pale blue dress has also been shot in the chest, with an exit wound in her back, although this time by a lower calibre bullet as the bullet holes are a lot smaller than those on the first girl.
Finally, we come to girl in a long pale dress, carrying her rather battered looking dolly. She has suffered the most severe wound of the six. The right side of her torso has been eaten away. I have smeared her mouth and chin with blood in a similar manner to the boy in the grey shirt.
I would think by now you ought to guess that my reaction to this set is highly favourable. It most certainly is! Zombie children are always welcome by me. Not for any sick or perverted pleasure, mind you. It's simply a matter of statistics. Children make up a sizable proportion of the human population. Because they are so much weaker than adults it is inevitable that they will suffer great casualties when the zombie apocalypse kicks off. As a consequence I would expect to see far more zombie children than are available at present.
If you buy the boxed set of Tiny Terrors made out of metal it will cost you £11.99. If you decide that resin cast figures are more your thing, they'll cost you £16.99.
In my next post I'll be reviewing the Studio Miniatures survivors that have been released this year. Better late than never, huh? Oh, and those of you clamouring for size camparison photos, fear not. I haven't forgotten you. Hopefully, I'll get some pics up for you next month.
