The Living Dead Dolls have become less of a collectible
and more of an institution. In their 13th year, 22-series deep, they are, “the longest-running, best-selling series of horror- themed dolls on the planet,” informs Mezco’s Director of Special Projects Michael Drake. From classic horror characters re-imagined to fairy tale characters (Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma as the Big Bad Wolf) to originals, the Living Dead Dolls have a little something for everyone. How would one best describe the collection? Drake continues, “if you had dolls that were cute and adorable and just normal dolls, but they had gone horribly wrong and met terrible fates somewhere along the line. If you think of the Ginny doll that your mother or sister may have played with, and somewhere along the line Ginny met a psychopathic clown, that’s the Living Dead Dolls.” Aside from the main lines, Mezco offers variants for
special occasions like San Diego’s Comic Con, as well as re- issue sets of classic pieces for those looking to get dolls that have long since sold out. They’ve also begun offering a new set of Zombie Creepy Cuddlers plush dolls, including the special edition monkey offered by ThinkGeek (
www.thinkgeek.com). Zombies have never been more adorable. Mezco has been a driving force in the collectible industry
and shows no signs of slowing down. From some of the best in classic horror (King Kong, The Wolfman) to some of pop culture’s most beloved (Goonies, Scott Pilgrim), Mezco toys are a must for any serious Monster Kid.
