The Kidrobot x The Simpsons zombie family pack takes the famous cartoon characters and transforms them into the living dead. With decaying faces, spilling brains and sunken eyes, the Simpsons family is truly terrifying. On top of the clever re-imagined design, the adorably morbid toys also glow in the dark.
All of the toys are made entirely out of vinyl so they'll be durable through any rugged use. The whole Simpsons family is included in the set; Marge, Homer, Bart, Maggie and Lisa have all been turned into zombies.
A Kidrobot x The Simpsons collaboration makes a lot of sense given the brand associations that both have. Kidrobot likes to explore a lot of different pop culture remixes and has always had a penchant for pumping up stylish cartoon style artwork.
