"Box
O Zombies is owned by Immersive Realms, Inc. founded and operated by Shawn
Recinto. The figures and artwork are created by a few Chicago artists who have
a passion for zombies, figures, and just making things awesome."
A sadly short-lived project, which seems to
have been half-garage or 'art toy' (in concept) and half-commercial (in
execution), but for which/whom the website is dead and the Faceplant/Twittsphear
pages have seen no meaningful traffic since 2014/15.
But it highlights the fragmentation of the
hobby; with 3D printing at home or via commercial printers, up-scaling and
down-scaling of existing figures by pirates (as we saw with the Chinese Army
plundering Caesar the other day), the
Russian/Ukrainian Co-Op's and home-design-&-print, or home scan-&-print
it's getting so no one can follow all of it, let alone collect it!
And, while I said this morning that I'd corrected
a few boo-boo's in the Halloween posts system, I failed with these! Although in
the last few minutes I've pulled it back by finding the original images on the WayBackMachine! But this is here, so,
it’s a reuse of a picture already seen here and elsewhere, but you get the
idea, BOZ figures being herded by
slightly larger Bonux spacemen!
Basically, although I scanned the box and
managed to take this size-confirmer and pose the shot with the Bonux figures, I
never took full set shots of the figures, except there may have been a couple
more in the Bonux sequence, I must have deleted them . . . Doh!
The trade images from the dead website;
they were available in puke green and a pale-purple which - going from my sample - are a
very pale lilac-gray shade. There were plans for other figures (some nice
humans in tan-brown seem to have got to master-sculpt stage) and if you go down the
Google rabbit-hole, you will find all sorts of stuff (concept drawings, CAD renders etc) on the various sites once
associated with them.
In the searching for info on the Box O's, I also found these from Spherewerx, they aren't findable at the
moment (this is the old Amazon listing image, but there are a couple of dozen
other Zombie-related items from Spherewerx
or Previews Exclusive (the same people
who did the WWII Zombies) in feebleBay, so they'll come around second-hand at
some point, maybe for next year?
