Reader's Review: SSC's Subject 1025
INTRODUCTION
One would think babysitting would be an easy job right? Well, not if you there is a mysterious disease turning your clients into zombies. Sadly for this young lady she picked the wrong night to make a little extra cash. The latest addition to The Dead line is Subject 1025: The Babysitter.
This is the first female zombie in The Dead line but she will be followed by two other versions. Later this month we will be getting our hands on the San Diego Comic-Con Version as well as the International Version of this figure.
PACKAGING – 7.5
The Dead has some of the coolest looking packaging that comes from Sideshow Collectibles. You have the simple white design with just a ton of blood including a bloody handprint. The reason I drop the overall score on the packaging for such a great line? I hate TWIST TIES! The Dead and Shaun of the Dead are the only lines using these pains in the butts! I don’t see why they can’t give this line the same love that Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars get.
SCULPTING – 10
Subject 805 was awesome with how much carnage the “person” went through and they’ve kept it up with Subject 1025. This poor girl is missing the left side of her face. It’s been clearly ripped off with all the muscle and tissue showing as well we some of her teeth, which just set it off. This figure has something totally different though from other figures made by Sideshow. The arms are completely sculpted instead of just the hands. It came off perfectly allowing Sideshow to sculpt cuts and gashes into the arms something they couldn’t do before.
PAINT – 10
In a word, perfect. The skin tone is just exceptionally well done and the hair looks great and unlike the Ed exclusive doesn’t take away from the figure. The blood splatter and carnage on the face/arm is well painted and looks totally real. You’ll be hard pressed to find any paint problems with this figure
ARTICULATION – 9
Now the buck may have its issue but with The Dead line it’s really quite perfect. The body allows for really any pose you will want to pull off for this or any zombie. The reason she did not get a perfect score was due to the arms. Now, they look great and I tip my cap to SS for doing them, but they do limit the arm posing with her.
ACCESSORIES - 10
The extra goodies she comes with may not be quite to say what came with Subject 805 but they add to the character. It shows that maybe her ways led her down a path that got her in trouble plus she comes with some school stuff. Subject 1025 comes with a yearbook, textbook, cell phone, cigarettes, detention slip, report card, babysitting list, and a very well done backpack.
OUTFIT – 10
Her outfit looks awesome! It’s bloody enough for what happened to her and shows the wear and tear of her battle with what attacked her. The shirt is just soaked in blood especially in the area of where her face has been ripped apart and the tights have enough ripping to get across the battle.
VALUE - 10
1025 sold for $50 which is really quite fair with all he comes with and the overall coolness of the figure. All the stuff she comes with and the fact that she just looks cool makes it just right! She’s also $5 cheaper than 805, which was a dang nice figure in his its right.
OVERALL- 10
I’m quite happy to have this figure in my Dead Collection and look forward to adding her two sisters soon. The paint which is just awesome, sculpting, and price really make her a winner. Sideshow has shown with this line they’re willing to try anything and make them look sick in the best way possible. Get her if you can or at least one version of her!
