Okay, working on some more zombies. Trying to make all the "special infected" from State of Decay, and I'm trying to come up with a good base for the Juggernaut/Big 'Un (concept art,screen shot).

Malakili(Rancor Keeper) is too small, and the Goblin King from the Hobbit is too big...

I'd like the figure to be SOMEWHAT similar in articulation to a Joe figure, so it doesn't look entirely out of place, but I'm not coming up with too many ideas.

McFarlane Walking Dead Well Zombie - From the waist up, he's just about perfect. And given that the WD figures are 5", he's probably just big enough. Only he seems to be going for $50 dollars these days, and the legs are static. Would still have to find a matching lower body for posability.

BLOB in various scales - Legends BAF is too big and too expensive. Wolverine Movie version is just a statue. Evolutions is about the right size, but articulation and detail is lower than I'd like... still, I think I have this one somewhere and it's the best I can think of so far.

And other suggestions?

Raginspoon has this chest available, it's a good starting point.

Some great suggestions. That Broduc Clay figure looks like it has potential.

Are there any other plus-size wrestlers with figures I should look for?

Chap Mei had two hefty fellas. On was the Simpsons' Comic Book Guy sort of looking guy. Then there was a fat jungle adventure sort of guy, pith helmet, monocle, generally awesome. Both feature standard Chap Mei articulation though. And are wearing short pants.

McFarlane's Sam is about the size you're after, but like the others he's not much for articulation.

Marvel Legends Ock might work too. Bit bigger, but lots more articulation.

You guys are coming up with some great suggestions. Still looking, but I'm glad to know there's more out there than just what I was thinking.

I think I need to be looking at more 5-6" fighting figure, wrestling, street fighter... seems like there's some I'm forgetting.

WWE's Umaga by Jakks or Mattel should work, right down to the bare feet.

Would those be too big though? Mattel's WWE stuff clocks in at close to 7in, and Jakks was even bigger.
