Every time I think I'm finally done buying Trash Pack figures, Moose Toys comes up with something new to hook me back in. Last year it was the Gross Ghosts series, and now it's a new set called Gross Zombies.
Like the Gross Ghosts, the Gross Zombies are not completely new figures, but rather a fresh take on past figures from the Trash Pack line. While the Gross Ghosts series consisted of transparent versions of classic Series 1 and 2 figures, the Gross Zombies offer up zombie-fied takes on classic Series 3 figures.
The figures are made to look zombie-like though eerie paint jobs with darker tons, and colors that are more a bit more drab than usual for Trash Pack toys. I'm not sure if that's the right word, because these figures are still colorful; they're just not as bright and vibrant as Trash Pack figures typically are, to give them a spookier effect.
This time around, the special figures from the set either have a fuzzy exterior (the Ultra Rares) or glow in the dark (the Special Editions).
Another notable thing about this set is that instead of the usual trash cans, the figures are packed with really cool translucent yellow-green coffins for storage. As usual, the containers come in two sizes, with the larger ones being available in 12-packs and the smaller ones being available in 12-packs and 5-packs.
I really like the looks of these, and they're timed nicely considering Halloween is coming up soon. Once again, Moose has made one of the coolest Trash Pack releases yet simply by rethinking a previous series.
What do you think? Have you bought any Trash Pack Gross Zombies yet, or do you plan to?
