Falling to Pieces

There's something about Easter that always makes me think of zombies, so it might be fun to spend the next few days looking at some of my favorite zombie toys.

From Ace Novelty comes this figure from the "Tales from the Cryptkeeper" toy line, that was based on a relatively short lived cartoon from around '93 and '94.

The Zombie is an awkward but fun figure, where you're able to pull off an arm or a leg, and watch him fall over to one side. Zombie toys are everywhere these days, but a little over ten years ago this was one of the only ones out there, so I give it credit for being original.

Oh... and here's part of the cartoon. Enjoy!

Oh man! That's a great zombie figure! I love the way some of his parts come off, leaving only bloody stumps.

I used to work for the company that bought Ace, when they shipped the art department here I remember seeing the drawings for the Tales from the Cryptkeeper. Including this guy.
