Wow, didn't expect you to go to such lengths to answer my question - almost think I have to order them now, just to jusify your effords.

That would be 19 by 33 cm. Odd. Can't think of any metric or US standard size of that measures. Would have to build a custom box (but wanted to do so anyways ... someday). But certainly not too small for the price.
Have a look ;)

Well, I actually emailed the company when I found them, so I already had the info on the size for you! I plan to make custom boxes and so I will be cutting them down to size. They just came yesterday, will post pics of the box and of how the foam looks when i throw it all together... maybe over this weekend. They have the little modular squares so cutting them should be fairly clean, I hope!

The ones from Mantis are 280x380 and can be cut in half with a kiss-cut. They fit in my own HQ box :D

NP. keep an eye on his website and KS page. There will be a new KS for Zombicide, but maybe he'll also put his regular boxes up as addons/choices.

Okay guys, you're all gonna love this:

Mantis is doing a zombicide case KS this month! Maybe even this week!
I worked with him on the design, and I got a prototype, filled it to the brim, and took pics (of which the gifs are made). I'll be posting a review of the cases soon.

But the only reason for foam storage for these figures is if you paint them. I counted 5 trays of minis!!

Yeah, I know. I so want to paint all these, but I dread the work xD
I'll be retired by the time i finish these at my current speed.

Anyway, KS preview is live for the moment:

Yeah, I like painting one at a time to give each individuality, different skin tones, etc. But you could paint all of the copies together and go for solid color paint jobs (no actual blending, just quick layers and shades) and get this done quickly. :(

Cool case. I will need something to accommodate my collection once the twisting catacombs shows up.
