#208 - Riot Gear Governor\/Biker Zombie<\/h3>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Last year during Horror Month, all our Minimate Mini-Reviews were of TRU-exclusive Walking Dead Minimates<\/i>. That was pretty well-received, so we're doing the same thing again this year!<\/p>\n

After the assault by Michonne<\/a>, the Governor's organized an army while he healed, complete with a tank. When he led the attack on the prison, he wore the riot gear worn by his former prisoners.<\/i><\/p>\n

And this Minimate wears the riot gear worn by former figures, right down to the same chest tampo Riot Gear Rick<\/a> had! We told you before that the injuries the Governor sustained in the comics were much more severe<\/a> than the ones on the tv show, so in addition to his painted eyepatch, he's also got the same arm as Dr. Kurt Connors<\/a>. If you want to remove his greasy hair, he does include the riot helmet, and it has a flip-up visor so you can still see his furious face. He's armed with Michonne's sword and a small black pistol, though of course he can only hold one of them at a time.<\/p>\n

Survival tip: there is no evidence that a biker zombie is any tougher than a regular zombie. But if you see a zombie in a leather jacket coming your way, run. Just in case.<\/i><\/p>\n

All the Walking Dead Minimates<\/i> zombies are based on ones that appeared in the comics, but this one really stretches the definition. He's allegedly based on the cover of Omnibus<\/i> vol. 3<\/a>, but as you can see if you follow the link, that's nothing but a headshot. Everything else? Art Asylum made it up. He's wearing a leather jacket with one arm torn off (though surprisingly, not the same one Lobo<\/a> wore) and has the same gross arm as the One-Eyed Zombie<\/a>. His left hand isn't a hand, just a mangled lump. He's also got a belt with a seashell buckle(?) and cowboy boots<\/a>. This is all a massive departure from the comic art, but it's still a cool design.<\/p>\n
