Zombie Print Book

Thought you guys might like to see my little zombie art book.

'I'm a Midtown Zombie!' Got this when I went to Midtown Comics in New York City last year. Loved it there.

[The Walking Dead] Abraham and Morgan Funko Pop!

So my other half got me the new Abraham Funko Pop! Which I love! I probably mention it on every blog post but if you haven't realised by now ABRAHAM IS MY FAVOURITE AND I LOVE HIM.


AND he also got me Morgan! How cool is Morgan?? The pops are cool - so glad they have new characters.

Shaun and Ed Mystery Mini Figures

Got these cool little Shaun and Ed figures the other day. They come in blind bags and I was not that lucky so unfortunately I had to buy them off of someone but I got a pretty good deal on the pair.
Needed these for my zombie collection and I love them - aren't they brilliant?

SDCC Headless Hershel & Bloody Bandaged Governor Funko Pop!

Got two of my grail Funko Pop! pieces the other day.

I've always wanted the bloody bandaged governor with blood splatter as I feel the blood splatter is most appropriate.

Also got SDCC Headless Hershel! Got them both for a bargain price and I am so happy it is unreal. I absolutely love them and love how my exclusive collection of Walking Dead pops is coming along.

The Waking Dead 7" Vinyl Figures

Last week I had a look in HMV in Oxford Street and they had this really cool Walking Dead 7" Prison Guard/Riot Gear Zombie Vinyl Figure, it was £19.99 but reduced to £9.99 I thought "bargain" and swooped. I had a ten pounds off voucher so I used that to buy this really cool figure!

I didn't really know much about these figures, I've seen them before but not really took much notice. But when I saw it in real life, and not just a picture on screen, I just fell in love and bought it.

Then, I did my homework. They are made by Funko (just like the Pop! range) and I believe there are 4 vinyl figures in this range, Daryl Dixon, Daryl Dixon (bloody version), RV Walker and the Prison Guard Walker.

To my luck, I went into www.lairoftheoctopus.co.uk and they had a sale on these exact figures. I managed to get Bloody Daryl Dixon which is a Walker Stalker Convention Exclusive (2013) for just £9.98!!! I also grabbed the RV Walker for a ridiculous price of £6.98! The RV Walker is one of my favourite zombies so I'm glad they decided to make him in this range. They all sold pretty quickly so I'm so pleased I got in there first.

Normally these figures are £20+ so for the prices I got them at I'm a seriously happy girl!

Normally, I don't get doubles of characters. For instance, with my Walking Dead Pop! collection I only have one of each character. However, there are only 4 of these figures (with the pops there are so many, that's why I stuck to one of each character) so I'm really tempted to complete the set and get normal Daryl Dixon... Well, hopefully one day!

I love these figures so much and I think they compliment my collection greatly.

The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon Black And White Funko Pop! (Walmart Exclusive)

Wanted this little guy for a while now and managed to get him for a steal of £17 on a group online.

He's a Walmart Exclusive so he's all the way from the United States. Pretty cool.

I love how he's black and white as it sort of pays homage to Daryl Dixon because he's not in the comics, this way, it sorts of includes him in it - well, that's the way I interpreted it.

I love this Pop! and he looks so cool with my collection.

The Walking Dead - Sheriff Rick Grimes Funko Pop!

Also for my birthday, my friends got me the Sheriff Rick Funko Pop! As my boyfriend says - "the one who started it all."

Talk about nostalgia! A throw back from the first series! Ties in nicely though!

The Walking Dead - Zombie Merle Funko Pop!

My birthday was on July 29th and for it my boyfriend got me my Grail Funko Pop Piece! You know? That funko you would do anything for?!

My Grail Piece was (and still is) The Walking Dead Zombie Merle Funko Pop!

He's quite pricey so when my other half got him I was so excited! I cannot thank him enough to have gotten me my ultimate piece to add to my collection. I've wanted him for years and now he's finally mine. Words cannot explain the happiness of the zombie collector!

Look at him! He's gorgeous! Need to get a pop protector for him!

Resident Evil Anti-Virus Replica/Pendant

I loved the T-Virus so much I caved and I bought the Anti-Virus... It was only a matter of time!

New iPod Touch With Zombie Quote Engraving!!

I'm super excited to say that I managed to get a new iPod Touch! Not only do I have this amazing piece of technology as it is, but I'm also majorly happy because I have gotten one of my favourite quotes engraved on it, and - you guessed it - it's from a zombie film!

The quote comes from George A. Romero's second zombie film 'Dawn of the Dead'. Or, the bible. Depends who you are.

Check out how cool it is!

'When there is no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth'

Case with Abraham Ford from 'The Walking Dead' on it - my favourite character! 

[Game] Telltale Games - The Walking Dead: Season One

The Apple App Store were doing this game as a free download and you also got Episode 1 for free too. I downloaded it because I heard so many good reviews on the game and, being a zombie enthusiast, I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Well, was I in for a ride.

The game consists of five episodes and one add-on extra called '400 Days.' They were doing a bundle deal, episodes 2-5 plus 400 Days for £14.99 so I opted for that, all in all saving around a fiver.

You play as the character Lee, a convicted criminal on his way to prison when the apocalypse breaks out. Ultimately meeting Clementine in Episode 1. You meet and lose many great characters along the way, but I'm not going to give the story up for those who like a surprise.

I found the game severely tense and emotional. You are given time limits on decisions that you have to make. These decisions range from menial conversation to saving someone's life. Each time you make a choice it alters the game in a different direction as a direct result and consequence of your decision.

The graphics are great, they have a comic book feel and it is easy to navigate and play. Great for a first time gamer like myself. But just as good for a pro-gamer, too.

In this game we do see some old and familiar faces from the comics and the TV Show.

I have yet to play 400 Days yet. It bridges the gap between Season 1 and Season 2. As it's an add-on and a Season in its own right, I shall write a separate post for it once I'm done.

Overall 10/10, brilliant game. I recommend it to everyone and I have already downloaded Season 2.

Resident Evil T-Virus Replica/Pendant

I found a really cool replica of the Resident Evil T-Virus (blue) and also the Anti-Virus (green) on eBay (same person sells on Etsy, too) and I just couldn't resist. It's more of a necklace, and the pendant is quite small, but nevertheless the pendant is just amazing. It's such a cool, original item to have and such an amazing addition to the zombie collection.

I bought the T-Virus (naturally) because as a zombie collector, of course I wanted my very own vial of the zombie virus. They are all handmade and when you tilt the vial a cool bubble effect appears from the liquid in the vial.

I'm not going to wear it as a necklace, I'm going to put it up on the wall in my zombie corner to display it and I think it will fit in perfectly!

Considering I am so happy with the T-Virus I think I'm going to bite the bullet and complete the set by buying the Anti-Virus to sit alongside it nicely.

MCM Expo - 22/05/2015 - Zombie Buys

This year I went to MCM on the Friday as they now do it as a whole day, it was really fun and very enjoyable. There were quite a few people, but it was not ridiculously packed like it is in the weekend, so if you can go on the Friday I highly recommend it.

The first zombie buy I found was a beautiful hand made charm bracelet by BunnyBeadsUK (she's on Etsy by that name). The charm bracelet is Walking Dead themed. I love the shovel charm, I think this is what sold me as I think the blood on it is a great touch.

This amazing Walking Dead bag!

Then, I went over to Comic Village and got talking to an independent writer. He had a range of books and comics but he told me about his zombie one called Teal and for £3 I couldn't say no. The lovely man even gave me a free zombie book mark of a character in his comic. You can find this comic and others at www.geekycomics.com 

Finally, also in Comic Village I found two guys who had compiled a load of zombie stories in one Anthology called Dead Roots, written and drawn by them. They also signed it for me, too. 

Zombie Virus Plush

I first saw this plush a few months ago online but I was gutted as the only ones I could find were from America. Then, low and behold, as a gift from my other half for finishing another year of univeristy - he bought me this!!

It's from the GIANTmicrobes range who do loads of viruses, bacterium etc etc as plush toys 1,000,000x their actual size. It gives a cool history about the virus and I'll post a picture of it below.

They are so cool! I love this Zombie Virus plush, it's a favourite of mine and made me so happy because I didn't think I'd get one! The quality is amazing and the idea is very original.

The Walking Dead - Zombie Money Box

I got this zombie money box as a gift and it's great! I don't use it as a money box, I iust use it as figure on my shelf and it looks proper cool as just that. They also do Michonne and Rick designs. The detail is amazing and I love having it on my shelf as it really does stand out and define the shelf. Or should I say, zombie corner...

Walking Dead Light

As previously stated before I've been in love with Etsy for a while now and I'm finding some great things on there lately, well, just check out this beauty!!

It's a handmade light that says 'The Walking Dead' 'Fight The Dead Fear The Living' with zombies underneath. Because it's made of glass it looks brilliant on its own as a glass ornament, but with the light turned on it looks absolutely phenomenal! You have the option to pick a range of colours for your light - I opted for green because I thought it suited the situation better.

This is one of my staple pieces to my zombie collection and definitely one of my favourites. I am in love with it and I adore it.

If you'd like to get one (they do more than just this, there are loads of other cool lights in stock), check out their Etsy page here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/IncredibleInnovation?ref=l2-shop-info-name

Delivery was super quick and they are very talented. I would highly recommend this seller.

Jason Miller Art - Zombie Originals

Lately I've been browsing the website Etsy and it is such an amazing website. There are loads of handmade items, original art (and prints) and just general, original items that you can't help but fall in love with. Whilst I was browsing through the zombie section of this website I came across an amazing artist called Jason Miller.

Jason Miller sells his ORIGINAL art on sketch cards and larger pieces. Not prints, but originals and I love them! He has loads of zombie drawings and a lot of horror themed/influenced drawings, from movies and television shows. The pictures are brilliantly detailed and worth much more than he asks, so I will definitely be buying more of these. I can tell that Jason Miller is going to be a constant throughout my zombie art collection and I look forward to seeing what he produces next.

Delivery was very quick too.

If you would like to check out his art this is his Etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/people/truetilldeath

Below are the originals I purchased from his store. My pictures of his drawings don't do them justice.

Margaret Thatcher Zombie Print

One of my close friends bought me a cool gift the other day - a zombie print of Margaret Thatcher! Considering I despise the Tories and, of course, Thatcher, there is no other way in which I'd like to see her.. Controversial? Who cares. Her whole life was controversial.

I'm going to start an album with all the zombie art that I'm going to collect and buy at conventions, online etc. I already have piece by DEAD ALL OVER which is framed on my wall. Unfortunately I have no idea who drew this or where it came from!

Thank you, Kayleigh!

I shall post updates on the art album.

Random Zombie Purchases

Yesterday was payday so we decided to take a drive up to the local(ish) shopping center, Lakeside. I didn't go with anything zombie related in mind to buy but I suppose that's the time to go because you end up always finding cool stuff.

And on this day of finding cool stuff I found a Walking Dead t-shirt in Primark, yes, in the men's section but they always have cooler clothes than the women! Anyways, I found it for £8 which I'm pretty chufed about.
I also bought this interesting looking book from Waterstones for £7.99 called 'Zombie Apocalypse' by Stephen Jones. Based in England with people's diary entries on their goings on post-apocalypse so after I'm done reading A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series of books I shall start on this series of books.

Pretty good day!
