Zombies have taken over the world – it’s true! You can find zombie adjacent or zombie themed things virtually everywhere, even your bathroom! The Zombie Toys and Novelties category sifts through each zombie piece we come across to review it and offer up the best of the best of zombie toys, trinkets, novelties, figurines, miniatures, board games, card games, and more!
Household Item
So cute. A 4” rubber ducky, blue – well, originally blue, back when it was alive. But now it’s all swollen and scarred and missing part of its beak from where the zombie bit it. From Wild Republic, a cool little company that has specialized in designing realistic stuffed animals and educational toys since the return of the living dead! Only $9.00!
Video Game / First Person Shooter
One of the great attractions of the zombie apocalypse is – well, shooting things. You can guiltlessly take potshots at vaguely human-shaped figures, blow them to smithereens, and never be bothered with technicalities like murder in cold blood or assault with a deadly weapon. And we admit it, there are days – sometimes multiple days – when that’s simply glorious.
If you’re in the mood for nothing more complicated than a plink-plink-fall-down-dead game, skip the drama of Last of Us or the spooky tension of Resident Evil, or the scrolling silliness of Plants vs. Zombies and head straight for Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War. The reasons are simple, few, and inescapable:
Sure, there are plenty of other CoD modules that don’t feature the reanimated, but … why bother? Go for the gold – the suppurating, shambling, teeth-chattered gold, man. ‘Cause when it comes to just blowin’ up the walkers real good, you can’t do better than Call of Duty.
If that’s your thing, or you know a gamer who just loves this kinda stuff, you can’t go wrong.
Face it: there's a zombie version of every pop culture icon out there, from Superman to Scooby Doo. The whole walking dead image has become so deeply embedded in the American mediascape that it simply can't be avoided. And luckily, some of the iterations or just plain beautiful. Beautifully weird, yets, but beautiful. Take a look at this, brought to us from most excellent horror author and internet presence Richard Kadrey, and the product of the remarkably weird Midjourney AI. And that's "A EYE," as in "Artificial Intelligence, not "Al," like Weird Al Yankovich.
