    Emce Toys Brings Zombies To Toy Fair!

    They retrofied the DC Comics superheroes, transported the crew of the Enterprise back from the 1970s, but today EMCE Toys unearthed several lines of toys and collectibles of nothing but zombies, zombies, ZOMBIES!

    Booth 4948 at the New York Toy Fair was Zombie Survival Headquarters as the EMCE team unleashed several different types of toys, in the familiar 8? Mego format that they relaunched half a decade ago as well as several other surprising formats.

    Leading the line was the first packaged action figure customizing kit ever, the “Make Your Own Zombie” kit. Featuring three Mego base bodies, five heads in varying states of decay, plus interchangeable arms, legs, hands and feet, as well as two sets of clothing and a DVD with painting and assembly techniques, it was the hit of the booth.

    Right behind that was the new line of hyper-detailed 1/9 figures, with detail and accessories rivaling 1/6 figures, based on Fourth Castle’s own intellectual property, War of the Dead. The line of four include a “Commando” with ultra-detailed SWAT uniform and weapons, a “Cadaver Disposal Technician” with HAZMAT suit, gas mask and complex acid spraying apparatus, a female “Researcher Zombie” with rooted hair, decayed face and a terrible scalp wound, and a “Construction Worker” with weathered and gory clothing, construction boots, safety vest and toolbelt.

    The last entries in the Mego-format that EMCE rebirthed are the last two figures in the Night of the Living Dead series EMCE launched several years ago. ”Barbra” and “Zombie Karen” have finally arrived to complete the line.
    In addition, EMCE premiered several other zombie-related toys targeting traditional mass retailers: a “Zombies Vs. Zombie Hunters” amy men set, glow-in-the-dark “Zombie Containment Units”, and several “Zombie Hunter” toy gun sets.

    The flyer below (see first post) was handed out to buyers all over Toy Show by EMCE’s team of zombies and ZERO Commandos, to the amusement (and disgust) of attendees.

        NOTLD! Sweeeeet. Any news on the format for the build-a-zombie packs? Are the heads unpainted rotocast or are they solid? I'd had arms and legs like that on my to do list, so this would be a definite pick-up for me.

              Woohoo, the NOTLD series is complete
              That War of the Dead looks cool too, but I especially like the zombie kit.
              Zombies are cool

                        Coolness! My bank accounts are armed and loaded. Bring them on!

                        I just keep telling myself this is definitely a great time to be alive and be able to buy all of the cool Re Mego's.
                        Enjoy what you like, and let others enjoy what they like. (C) Azrak 2009

                        Too much space. Need more toys!

                          The heads and body parts in the kit will be solid resin - it shows up the
                          fine details better and works better for a variety of paints.

                          You need to see these in high-res or in person to really appreciate
                          the level of detailing in the faces and the outfits. I hope to bring
                          a sample with me to the Meet this year although I may have to
                          sacrifice bringing product with me.

                            The kit won't be a limited run, will it?

                              are you planning on using the bodies with the screwbacks like the ones on the Universal monsters to make it easier to mount the solid heads?
