Zombiemonkie’s Zombie Art Project

With Halloween just around the corner, up and coming toy designer / customer Mikie Graham of Zombiemonkie has recently unveiled his latest creation, The Zombie Art Project, set to run throughout October. Graham has painstakingly customised 65 different Playmobil figures to brain eating perfection, featuring “outbreak survivors, celebrity zombies, one playset, and enough humourus gore to make even the most jaded Horror fan smile “.

The figures will be released in pairs throughout the month on the Zombiemonkie shop, with prices ranging from $30-$60 depending on the level of craftsmanship and figures used. Each creation has been hand painted, with extra sculpted sections featuring in most of the designs. The pairs of Z.A.P figures will each be presented in their own 6″ wooden coffin, hand stained and painted with the bloody Z.A.P logo by Graham.

“The Zombie Art Project has been in the works for a very long time now. I started working on custom Playmobil zombies over 3 years ago after buying a friend’s toy collection I found myself with a bag of extra Playmobil people. They were so cute and family friendly that I just had to turn them into something horrific!

After zombiefying my first pair I realized how fun and cathartic they were to make and I began to produce these mini horrors for fun as a distraction while working on larger more detailed toys.

As the years past my army grew…. until this year when I found that I had about 20 complete. I realized that with a little extra work I could have enough for every day of Halloween and Z.A.P. was born.”
