I never thought of this until after I'd altered the figure.<br /><br />I think Ann is panicking, so the term "survivor" may be very temporary. If she doesn't start thinking rationally then I don't imagine it will take long for the zombies to get her!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-23996725086011641902013-06-02T22:49:34.634+01:002013-06-02T22:49:34.634+01:00Great take on Miguel, mate.

I quite like the original pose myself, kinda dynamic, but nothing out of hand. <br /><br />I especially like the vixen turned to a survivor, can't go wrong with converting some plastics!Mathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-47015582044814527932013-06-02T22:12:30.024+01:002013-06-02T22:12:30.024+01:00Thanks, IrqanThanks, IrqanColgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-15521112386542001192013-06-02T21:02:20.324+01:002013-06-02T21:02:20.324+01:00BrillBrilllrqanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317347167166315984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-71774881042835039752013-06-02T20:02:23.600+01:002013-06-02T20:02:23.600+01:00He did indeed use a speargun to great effect in th...He did indeed use a speargun to great effect in the film, although awkward to load it was silent and the ammo was infinitely reuseable as long as he could pull it out of the skull of his target. I wasn't aware of the racial connotations of the name but the character is Mexican/Columbian himself I think. It's been a while since I watched the film.Louis Brittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101155981771831568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-51340068766105153192013-06-02T19:41:32.016+01:002013-06-02T19:41:32.016+01:00I never understood the "leaning" posture...I never understood the "leaning" posture, though as I said above it might make sense if he was armed with a spear gun and was looking for a target in a pool or tank of water.

A quick Google search suggests that this is also a term of somewhat racist abuse aimed at Mexicans, if I've understood correctly?
