Big Andie - A Romper Zombie

Manufacturer:  Jerrick Ventures

Material:  Foam

Scale:  8 Feet Tall

Big Andie was created as a display piece for the Romper Zombie toy line to be used at trade shows. He was cut from a block of foam and hard coated with a resin type material. He was delivered to me in a large crate where he was disassembled for shipping. He was primed and ready for me to paint him.

This project was a challenge due to its size but I had a blast working on him. Wish I still had him. He’d look good in my back yard!

Romper Zombies are a line of resin and vinyl toys that feature a “what if” scenario of little kids being struck down by a zombie virus.

I became involved early in the project primarily as the paint designer but also helped in the design of each figure starting with Bobbie. I created the prototype paint masters that would be the guide for the mass production of the toys.  I did the first 4 figures under Mr. Vaan Horne – Andy, Bobbie, Colie & Georgie and the newest figure, Vanitie under Jerrick Ventures.

The original product was to be an 8” tall resin figure and the first 4 were where manufactured that way. After the company changed hands, the new owners, Jerrick Ventures took them into the realm of vinyl and reduced the scale down to a 4” figure.

The future of the line is unclear at this point.
