Warui Zonbi Series 1 by Gory Hole x Tru:Tek

Coming this week is Gory Hole's first painted run of "Warui Zonbi: Series 1" figures. Insprired by Maba's 1980's toyline called "Zombies", these finger puppet style figures feature 2 designs: SS Wolfgang and Selwyn. Selwyn is inspired by a zombie baby from Dead Alive, while SS Wolfgang takes it's inspiration from American Werewolf in London. Designed by Tru:Tek, with art by John Santagada of Radioactive Uppercut,, the pair of figures were sculpted by Makino-San of TTToy. Sized at around 3", with a split torso and capped bottom design, the first release of these soft vinyl figures will be in a flesh tone. There will also be an "OG" painted version from Tru:Tek to accompany the flesh toned release. The figures come dual-packed in a deluxe display box, matching the gacha-style purple keshi, previously released. Limted to just 10 sets of each version, the SoftToy Hobby/Gory Hole online store will have these available on Friday, March 18th at 9PM London Time (5PM Eastern). Priced at $85 for the OG painted version and $60 for the flesh toned, there will also be some surprises that may pop up in the store to go with the release.
