Now for the really important aspect between these two. In terms of cost, the RRP of the GW set is £20.50 GBP for twenty which is a fair price considering all the options available. The Mantic zombies currently weigh in at an RRP of £24.99 GBP for forty So cost per figure is around $1.56 USD for GW's, while Mantic's are around $0.95 USD per figure. Winner is Mantic |
