Zombie Shakespeare

I've found nothing up here in Albany.

Just bought a Ray Stantz figure to be my go-to zombie victim face and started fooling around with him.

Sweet. Thanks, Zach. She'll be perpetually dying in my display.

Thanks for that list. Unfortunately, most of those sets don't seem too readily available.

Really excited for wave 2, even though I was hoping that Amy would have a scared or dying face. I need some scared looking minimates to face off against zombies. I was thinking about getting a Wolverine through the Ages set just to get that scared, screaming head. Are there any more scared looking minimates out there?

Have these been spotted at any TRUs on the East Coast? Went to TRU 4 out 5 days this week. Each day more disappointing than the last.

So B&W Dale is a variant of a variant.

And just because my daughter demanded that Ant Man fight Jewel:

I had stopped collecting Minimates for awhile. Then I saw that they were making Walking Dead figures and I thought that I would buy only them when they came out. Of course, then I bought the Maximum Zombie set. Then figured I needed some extra civilians for the zombies to attack and bought multiples of the police and fire fighter sets. Then saw all of the new Marvel figures that looked awesome and began picking those up as well as picking up lots of sets that I had missed. A few months later and I've probably doubled my original Minimate collection and have Universal Monsters and Expendables as well. It's a really slippery slope, I think this is the most addictive toy line I've ever collected.

Posted a review of Battled Damaged Rick and Vacation Zombie on my blog: http://askmeaboutzombies.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/walking-dead-minimates-sdcc-2012-exclusive/

Mine just shipped. I think I'm going to call the Post Office to request that my set get a window seat with plenty of sun during the ride.

I just realized that Amy is in the display too. She's laying at Andrea's feet. Nice.

I haven't seen anyone mention the Morgan figure in the display. He looks pretty nice. I'm glad they went with the later, disheveled version of him. Do we have any idea what set he's in? Is he a TRU figure? A variant? Also, I wish we could get away from Michonne figures wearing purple and bright pink. I know she appeared like that on a WD cover, but I just never think of her as a character wearing bright, flashy clothing.

I think Jonah's yelling at Parker for not getting him into the new movie.

I hope at some point relatively soon that DST addresses smaller characters. The Walking Dead line will be incomplete without Carl, Thundercats would be incomplete without Wily Kit and Kat, and the Marvel line will always be incomplete without.....uh.....I don't know......Howard the Duck.

I've taken Hulk to work with me to tend my mini zen garden.

I think TRU Wave 1 is Tyreese & Zombie and Glenn & Zombie.

Amy seems like a much better variant choice than Winter Coat Dale. I hope the zombie 2-pack that comes in the same wave as Michonne is her boyfriend and friend, with shackle accessories.

Riot Suit Glenn is essential. He wore that thing a lot. Even if they didn't make others in the suits, I'd buy two and stick a Rick head on it. I mourned the RV's death as much as the other characters who went down at the prison.

I want a box set of Walking Dead characters as resurrected super heroes, as seen at the end of issue 75.

I think that regardless of whether spider piggy's suggestions get made, we can all agree that somewhere, in some line we need a penis statue accessory and a vagina-VCR chest piece. I'm thinking that maybe those could be incorporated in the Battle Beast line somehow.

I don't know how you would make a Venom movie without having Spidey as a main character. I'm interested to see how they try to pull that off.

Anywho, this line better last long enough for me to see a bulked-up Axel figure with a fat, hairy, sweaty belly. You follow me?

-1 +1.... or -2, I'm not sure. I'm confused.

The Hood should definitely get a minimate (he's the only member of the Cabal without a figure), but I would really love to see some his gang. How about Mandrill? Everybody loves a good monkey action figure, right? Speaking of which how about a four pack of the Red Ghost with three monkeys?
