Zillions of Mutated Bodies Infecting Everyone
I can’t believe it took until 2008 for this amazing idea to come to fruition?take the awesomeness that was the old collectible M.U.S.C.L.E. wrestling figures with the awesomeness of the flesh-eating, living dead. The result: Z.O.M.B.I.E., the greatest new toyline of 2008. Say the fine gents and ladies of Plastic and Plush:
Standing for Zillions of Mutated Bodies Infecting Everyone!, Series 1 contains five different characters (Rockabilly, Bathtime, School Girl, Ape and School Boy) in four different colorways (toxic green, pale blue, white and glow-in-the-dark).
At only $5 a set, you have to buy these things, if only so October Toys can make several hundred more, and I can have a big bucket of small plastic Z.O.M.B.I.E.s like I used to have of M.U.S.C.L.E. men. Order ’em here.
