Five Below used to be one of my favorite hunting stops but they’ve had nothing but zombie figures for the past 3 months. I think they’ve sold maybe 3 in that time(out of the 4 stores near me). I’m all for mixing things up but these should have been made as exclusive collectors items or something similar. You don’t see Star Wars or Transformers zombie figures, so it’s not like it’s a common thing. Heck, I even see Walking Dead figures on discount bins all the time so I think they misjudged whatever zombie loving public that’s out there. Bill calls random legends “niche” but the zombies and mutants are the definition of the word.

They are on clearance at a local Walmart and just sit there. They don't seem to be popular in my area. Again i took flak from some members saying these zombies, mutants, monsters, don't sell in stores. So why make another series of zombies ?? Kmart is the only retail store selling them, how does a line survive if walmart and target don't carry them ?? Well then.... ohh yeah here is a pic of my local walmart a few weeks ago.

Plus there cool to display as Seth being attacked by his zombie self Yeah I quite like them. Haven't bought any yet but may start soon. I wish people would post them in their collections. **Edit - Just ordered Nakamura and Flair ... can't wait to pick them up tomorrow evening from the toy store. I'm going to eventually get Kane, SCSA and Sasha too. Maybe Taker and Paige too but I'd liek to see them in person first**

If Mattel really wants to make this line move, they should arrange a deal with WWE to have a Halloween show where the wrestlers wear zombie and monster outfits. A battle royal where anyone dressed up for Halloween gets to enter the ring. Collectors want every outfit a wrestler has worn, so these would instantly gain legitimacy and fly off shelves.

Again, I think this is to do with price, I cant remember, but I think these were £14.99 in the UK when they first hit, around $20 ish, its too much, theh just arent worth that much

I'm surprised there isnt more talk about Zombie Charlotte's awesome peacock dress and speculation about when it'll show up in the Basic or Elite lines. Really? It kinda looked withered to me, unlike Brays jacket that was just painted worn. I think they’d have to retool it to put it in the main line.

But I'll post some in a bit on this thread and the fix up thread too

Stone Colds zombie was so tempting. It looks completely badass but I have no interest in this line at all.

I've got about 60 of these still on card. They have some dust on them and are a little beat up but they display well. You can see my collection by visiting any of my 3 Walmarts and going into the toy aisle. You cant miss them.

I have been collecting these and I personally like them because of the details that are on them. I am missing four from the previous two series that are the Undertaker, SCSA, Roman, and the Rock. I haven't bought anyone from series 3 just because I want a discount on the price. I haven't displayed them in my collection yet but I wanted something inspired by TWD series or the COD black ops zombie series.

I even just checked it out and all of the feathers are dead and there's "dirt" on the sleeves. It's also plastic, much rather get a cloth one like her Elite figure.

I found them fairly reasonable I was thinking about displaying them with my undertaker collection.

Definitely worth the purchase at a lower price as I found most of mine from 5 below and bargain in a box stores. I like the idea of displaying them with Undertaker as it fits him well.

I was thinking so. I found some really cool Halloween lights and a few other things that would make the green on those figures look awesome.

There are a ton of these in one of the Bargain stores near me. They are no where close to MOC. Closer to looking like they were tossed in a wood chipper then pulled out and put on the rack. However, the good thing is they are only like $5. So if you are an OOB collector. I might pick up a few to display next Halloween.

What gripes me is that they’ll spend time and money to make molds that they’ll use once, for these zombies, but wont spend time and money for a mold on something like Gobbledy Gooker .... and it would actually sell.
