This is my first thread, so please take it easy on me. I got tired of being a guest so I signed up. Anyway, time to get to the point.
I got to thinking it would be cool if Mattel made some WWE zombie figures. It would'nt have to be a new line, maybe do a 1 of 1000 type thing. Especially since The Walking Dead is so popular at the moment. Just think how cool a zombiefied CM Punk or AJ would be. I think Mattel could do an awesome job.
I may be alone on this, just thought I would see what others opinions are on this.
Would you buy them?

I'd like to see the images, but I wouldn't buy any personally. The only way I think this would happen is if it was by another company than Mattel (like McFarlane making the Undertaker bus or The Bridge Direct making StackDown). Like you said, it'd have to be a limited deal, but I think it'd also have to be slated to come around Halloween.

I dislike the whole zombie fad that's been around for the past few years, well minus Walking Dead, that's a great show. I wouldn't buy them though.

I dislike the whole zombie fad that's been around for the past few years, well minus Walking Dead, that's a great show. I wouldn't buy them though. The zombie fad has been around since 1968, when George A. Romero made Night of the Living Dead. Really, what you should be upset with is the pansification of the horror genre, which started in the 90s. It was, to a certain extent, a step forward, considering the plotless horror fad of the 80s, but still. The majority of modern zombie stories completely miss the point to zombies. It's not that they're mindless killing machines; it's that they're us. They're you and me; they're your family and friends. There should be an emotional reaction to zombies, one that makes it nearly impossible for you defend yourself. The Walking Dead TV show is good, because it actually covers this. The Walking Dead comic is better, because, for the most part, covers it more. For a good example of zombie horror done right, watch Shaun of the Dead. I know it's a comedy, but it's done better than most actual zombie horror movies. While I have no problem with the movie itself, the mainstream pansification of the horror genre can be traced back to Interview With the Vampire. From there, we've had countless new interpretations of monsters as the good guys; Underworld being one of the most popular, and, obviously, Twilight. Personally, I'll take poorly done zombies over sparkly supposed killing machines that really just want to get in some good statutory rape any day. But, that may just be me. Something I've learned as I've slowly become an old man: If something annoys you, ignore it. Other than hipsters. Don't ignore them; hate them. Sorry for the lecture; I just hate how zombies are getting a bad rap instead of the storytellers who don't understand what makes them worth exploring. Now, lets go back to Banter where we can be bombarded by Dante Dash.

I'd buy them. This has been suggested many times before and there's always some who hate the idea and others who love it. Closest there is to a zombie wrestling figure is the Wcw gross out wrestlers sting or the hulk hogan and Andre inspired slug jakks mini figures.

I'd love them to do zombie figures, but don't see it ever happening.
I love zombies, but Walking Dead is so bad. The comic is even worse than the TV show.

A lot of guys need to get a figure before they waste funds on that!

Nah I'd prefer for Mattel to stick to normal figures rather than gimmicky ones

^well said Ben. To the OP, would be kinda cool to see how they'd turn out but definitely not something I'd want to see mattel resources used on. Could be some interesting customs though.

No. An updated elite Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel I would defiantly rather have these two too. A couple zombie figures would be better than another Cena or another Sheamus or another Randy Orton. But I'm all for people that don't have elites before anything like this. I understand all opinions completely. Thank you all for the responses.

I like you idea, but seeing as Mattel have the contract for making Super hero figures then I'd rather see a 1/1000 superhero wwe superstar cross over figure. I'd love to see some of Mysterio, Kofi and Punk's special superhero gear in figure form.
