New figures for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides premiered during a preview for the American International Toy Fair in New York this week and feature zombie figures. These 4″ figures, when placed under a black light, reveal a “zombie” version of the character. I use quotations because apparently some scribbles painting on makes them a “zombie” (Oh! I did it again!). I’m guessing that this zombie look has something to do with the upcoming film, but I’m not really know since I’m not a fan of this series. You can see more of the figures here. Anyway, if you want a shitty looking toy, buy these! I wouldn’t though.

“But is he alive or dead? Well, that’s the question nowadays isn’t it? Let’s just say I let him continue to exist.” — Dr. Logan, Day of the Dead.

We may not know if Bub is dead or alive, but he surely looks lively enough in this exclusive Day of the Dead action figure! Bub is already for sale, and Dr. Tongue is currently available for pre-order (it will be released in February). The exclusive toys from Amok Time feature interchangeable body parts for a variety of poses and include a number of accessories so you can recreate your own miniature military bunker in the corner of your own home.

We had the pleasure of meeting the Time and Space Toys crew at Flashback Weekend and let me tell ya, they are doing some amazing stuff! They sell all kinds of horror collectibles both online and in their store located in the Monroeville Mall (which you may know as the mall from the original Dawn of the Dead). Today they announced a new line of 12 inch action figures they are producing called Monroeville Zombies.

The Zombie Cop, as pictured above, is the first in the line and is limited to only 50 pieces. It will be available first at the HorrorFind Weekend convention next week in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area. Manufactured by Peril Unlimited, the toys are fully poseable with real cloth clothing and accessories. A special, secondary paint application gives the figures a very realistic textured look, and special distressing of the clothing gives them a worn-and-torn zombie look.

I would love to get my hands on one! More figures are due to be released at upcoming conventions. We’re looking forward to more!
