Hey, matthewf1tz, are you going to include these guys on toypedia? They seem to meet all of your qualifications! (non-articulated, < 3" tall, no stand, sci-fi/monster themed, mono-coloured)

I would love to see some hi-res pics up on the site!

yeah, I plan to get these awesome guys on there pretty soon!

I have my fingers crossed for a Series 2 soon

SERIES 2!!!

so i decided to email october toys about the possibility of a second series! here's the reply:

Hi Dan!



Yes! We are currently working on Series 2 which will include even more figures than Series 1. Costs are the only thing preventing us from unleashing massive amounts of Z.O.M.B.I.E.s as quickly as we would like. We anticipate Series 2 being available later this year, but we don’t have a set date yet.



Thanks for writing and thanks for the support!

how great is that news?!?!

[bronchuseven]

Suh-weeet! I can't wait to buy some!

In somewhat related news, the local toy store, which specialises in little toys (toy joy), has some tiny GITD zombie figures! They have clunky bases and stand about 1/2 the height of a MUSCLE, if not shorter. There are two moulds - a lumbering male and a female, who's holding a severed head!! I'll try & get some good pics with the wife's new camera. They're teeny though, so it might be tough to get the details captured.

[dankingery]

sounds like one of the expansion packs to the zombie board game.

[bronchuseven]

Holy crap... that is them! How on earth did you find them based on my vague description? Looks like that auction is for only male zombies; a shame, as the females are a cooler sculpt.

edit: I found a sweet pic of the female zombie!

Maybe he's just seen them before. I know I have, at my local comic book/game store.

[Malosavich]

I love those Zombie games, I thought I had all the games, and optional extra zombies But I've never seen a female one before... If they've released some new ones, I'm gonna have to order them

[bronchuseven]

If you don't want to order a large bag o' zombies, let me know how much you need & I'll gladly pick them up from toy joy - it's only 1.5 miles from my house after all!

[Malosavich]

Awesome thanks!

I've been looking at some of the other new Zombie products (Twilight Creations) and I reckon that I'll end up getting quite a lot

The Humans game really intrests me... Playing a Zombie that is trying to kill all humans is right up my alley!

i've seen them before. almost bought a few bags just so i could have my own zombie apocalypse at one point. their small size is what turned me off. trust me, if it has anything to do with zombies it'll end up on my radar at one point or another.

[dankingery]

the hoard has arrived!!! i ordered mine, why haven't you?

[StalkingButler]

those are freakin' awsome!


These things touch on my weakness for cheap, non-articulated LRG. A clear plastic box full of zombie LRG for $10 plus shipping. What's not to like?

[TheOrgg]

The Zombie boardgames are great fun if you've got a fun group. If you've got a bunch of stonefaced poker players, the game loses something of its thrill.

[mrjayberry]

If I order these will it get a series two released sooner?

[dankingery]

maybe, but what i really think they're waiting for is the sdcc.

[bronchuseven]

I hope there's enough interest in these awesome toys for the 2nd series to eventually get made... I love my 1st series Zombies to death! (even though they're already dead)

Maybe I'll pick up one of these new "horde" packs... having just 5 lonely Zombies on my shelf doesn't inspire too much fear in all my other toys.

in case you missed it the first time.

[dankingery]

my hoard arrived today. i think my second favorite thing about it, second only to the fact i got more zombie figs, is the cool "i play with zombies" sticker they included in the pack. they've certainly inspired me for the fac 21 contest.

[Strontium Dog]

Well, I managed to score the series 1 figures on eBay, I think I got a decent price anyway:

I also got my very first M.U.S.C.L.E.s from the same seller today too


Is series 2 out yet?

[dankingery]

no series 2 yet. i'd expect them to arrive around the sdcc. looks like you did get them at a pretty good price. heres the link to october toys / zombies.

[dankingery]

NEW COLORS!!!

still no sign of the series 2 sculpts though. i just hope i'm buying enough of these to fund series 2. i've got tons now.

[phantomeye]

ALRIGHT!!! I'll have to get red and gray sets now. I got purple last year when they did it as a promo run. I luv em all.

[bronchuseven]

The new colours are awesome! I'm especially liking the grey.

[Ericnilla]

yeah i talked to george at sdcc and picked up a red set. they look great. he said nothing of a second set tho.

[dankingery]

you got me paranoid about the second set eric so i asked 'em about it again.

Hi Dan,

We certainly still do plan to continue the Z.O.M.B.I.E. series of figures
into series 2 and beyond! Thanks for being a fan!!

George
