Today we reviewed the first Maximum Zombies set, but the doctor and the biker<\/a> weren't the only ones available: there was a third, super-secret zombie given out at the Diamond Select Toys booth, starting at 10am every day of the show.<\/p>\n

The third zombie is a plain civilian. He's wearing a short-sleeved blue shirt with a pocket on the breast, and jeans with a painted fly and belt loops. Of course, he's also covered in blood: splotches on his pants, a little bit on his sleeves and stomach, and then a massive<\/b> pool of it on his chest right below his chin. He either threw up his lunch, or he bit into a gusher! If you look through the dark red paint apps, you'll notice that beneath the button-up shirt, he's wearing a T-shirt, and there's a patch of skin right below his neck - an impressive level of detail for something that subsequently got covered by paint. Unlike the doctor and the biker, he doesn't have any visible wounds, so we're left to wonder how<\/b> he got turned.<\/p>\n

One thing you'll notice about the Maximum Zombies is that their fleshtone is unusual. It's not the soft pink used for caucasian Minimates, but rather a pasty yellow that helps set them apart from your run-of-the-mill blood-soaked maniacs. The civilian has his teeth bared, flecks of blood on his cheeks, and appears to be bleeding from the eyes. He's got a beard and mustache, and a hair piece that flips up in the front. He's a hipster zombie!<\/p>\n

We always say we want civilians to go along with our toylines, and right off the bat, Maximum Zombies delivers. Sort of. He's still a zombie, of course, but he's just \"dude on the street\" zombie, nothing outlandish. He'll be great cannon fodder as the line expands.<\/p>\n
