Dawn of the Dead is a classic Zombie/Horror movie. The great thing about Mezco and its line of One:12 Collective figures is how they aren’t ignoring pop culture properties of the past. Dawn of the Dead isn’t the first thing you think of when you think of an action figure property in 2018, but, its hard to argue that this Box Set isn’t something special. The Dawn of the Dead Box Set is currently available for pre-order from Entertainment Earth and will ship in January 2019.
From Mezco:
“When there’s no more room in Hell, the dead walk the Earth.”
The One:12 Collective Dawn of the Dead Boxed Set includes two of the most recognizable undead corpses in cinematic history: Flyboy and Plaid Shirt Zombie.
Flyboy Zombie, also known as Stephen Andrews, is cornered by the living dead while trying to escape through an elevator shaft. Now joining the forces of the infected, Flyboy is outfitted in blood stained clothing – a button down workmen’s shirt, belt, workmen’s pants, and wedge work boots. He comes equipped with his signature pistol from the iconic scene in the film.
Straight from the original Dawn of the Dead movie poster, Plaid Shirt Zombie is presented in a distressed flannel shirt exposing his rotting flesh, jeans, and work boots.
Both zombies clawed their way into the public consciousness from their appearance in George A. Romero’s groundbreaking horror film, Dawn of the Dead, where a group takes refuge to make humanity’s last stand against a horde of zombies swarming the U.S. Although their actual screen time was fleeting, their influence on pop culture is long-lasting. Life-size figures of the two characters flanked the entrance to the Monroeville Zombies Museum in the Monroeville Mall, the primary shooting location of the film.
