Gruesome Zombie Dolls

These Walking Dead Figurines are a Bloody Good Time

— October 20, 2012 — Art & Design
Collect all of your favorite characters from the hit TV show with these Walking Dead Figurines. Even better, cuddle up to these decaying, flesh-hungry dolls as you watch the new season of Walking Dead.

Some of the most notable zombie dolls include RV Walker, whose face is covered in gore and decay with one of his eyes replaced with a screw driver. If the blank-eyed undead creatures are not for you, you can go for one of the rangers, including Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon. These dolls come in a normal version or a blood-spattered version for a more intense feel. With their giant heads and eyes, these vinyl toys are a cartoon-like take on the TV characters.

Have a zombie play date with the Walking Dead Figurines.
