Zombie Shakespeare

Well, now I can't imagine a world without a Battle-Damaged Cinderella minimate!

I think we are ALL in for disappointment. we have set the bar too high.

That guy's right! These are going to be the worst minimates ever! Especially if they don't glow in the dark!!! Ahhhhh!!!! I'm full of rage!!!

I love that we're now to the point of imagining a Battle-Damaged Cinderella minimate!

Is this insanity going to go on until Toy Fair or will we find out before then?

And, they're obviously Charlie Brown minimates.

Ok, here's my wave 3 speculation:

Tyreese with Zombie (Prison Tyreese variant

Riot Suit Glenn with Zombie

LCS Exclusives:

Axel with Zombie

Governor with Zombie

TRU Exclusives:

Hershel with Zombie

Maggie with Zombie

Hey, I hope that we do get him. I just don't want to get too excited. Have there been any kid 'mates made with slipper feet in the past?

I'm not looking to adjust the 'mates to make them perfect matches. I moreso just looking for confirmation that these are the zombies that the 'mates were based on. So far, these are the closest matches I could find for Female, One-Armed, Lurker, Stabbed and Punk Zombie. The others seem like more obvious matches.

What makes you guys so confident that we're getting Carl? I thought DST has said that they won't do kid 'mates.

My Lori pack was cancelled and Morgan shipped. They did adjust the tax, though. Luckily, I found both sets in store on Monday.

Why does it have to be an 80's property? I think the box set will be Axe Cop!

Picked up the TRU exclusives in Upstate NY today. Michonne's zombies are pretty sweet and with their chains, I'm thinking if you picked up a couple more that you could try to recreate the Woodbury fighting pit. I also like Lori a lot better in hand than in pictures.

Not sure, we're talking about showing less there. But if they're done, I'm sure we'll bring them. We just won't be showing off late 2013 TRU series like we did last year. No reason to, really.

I would like to see them. Is that reason enough?

We need a pregnant Lori in a prison jumpsuit. 10 years of minimates and not one pregnant figure to date. It's shameful.

We will come very close.

Wait! What does that mean?!

Pregnant Lori without jumpsuit?

Jumpsuit Lori non-pregnant?

Lori and Shane conception two-pack?

Lori and Alice delivery two-pack?

Damn you and your teasers, Oat!!!

I was thinking maybe these two are One-Armed Zombie and Female Zombie. Female doesn't match too much, but she's the first comic zombie I've seen in a mini-skirt. Aside from One-Armed's exposed ribs being on the wrong side, he seems to match.

So, Zach said that all of the minimate zombies are drawn from actual comic zombies. I've been trying to locate them with minimal success. Here's what I've got so far:

Casual Zombie

Nerd Zombie

Punk Zombie

Sailor (or Mime) Zombie

Lurker Zombie

Cute (or Leg Bite) Zombie

Zombies Terry and Mike

Stabbed Zombie

The exclusive sets seemed pretty clear. Ordered them. Thanks for the heads up guys.

She wasn't showing, though. I demand a minimate in the 3rd trimester!

Regular Tyreese and Prison Tyreese variant?

Started re-reading the series to try to pinpoint the minimate zombies. Found the sweater-vest, lurker zombie. He was one of the zombies awakened by Allen's gunshot after Donna is killed in the gated community.

Finished off the series with a quick review of Shane and Glenn:

Luke, couldn't you go pick them up yourself and then hand deliver them to eager boys and girls on the night of December 24th?

A Walking Dead Christmas.

I was surprised that the figures are called zombies on the box. They're never referred to as zombies in the books.

Any explanation as to why the cute zombie is no longer cute? Was there some kind of trademark issue or something?
