MAN-E-NEWS// The Acro-Zombies from Bigman Toys…

After 6 weeks of blood, sweat and tears, Bigman Toys can finally reveal the full Acro-Zombie line up in all its glory! Originally due to become a series of around 20-30 figures, spiralling costs and issues with UK supplies meant that Bigman was forced to whittle the number down to 10 in order make them affordable to ALL lovers of the original Microman/Micronauts series- not just die-hard collectors! Inspired by martian invasions, the Misfits discography, 70’s sci-fi, plus the distinct palette of garish colours found in the likes of the Micronaurs Mobile Exploration Lab, the Acro-Zombies have been kit-bashed from the Giant Acroyear’s Armroid robots, the original Acroyear and  Time Travellers, plus guns and fully removable mid-section sculpted by Bigman himself! One of the most poseable and robust line of resin figures we’ve ever seen, the beautiful creations come in 3 distinct styles- Skull (skull head cast in clear helmet with 666 chest plate), Humanoid (original Micronauts TT head cast in clear helmet featuring a clear chest plate with visible guts) and the one-off Diazombie-8 (Ancient Greek style Gatsblocker head with sword). Priced at just £22 ($34) plus shipping, each Acro-Zombie has been lovingly packaged in a custom made coffin, and are available to purchase directly through Bigman’s profile here.

NOTE// 3 Acro-Zombies (4 if we have anything to do with it!) have already sold, so be sure to keep checking the Bigman Toys blog for updated availability (plus a superb in-depth analysis of the project!). The one-off Diazombie-8 will be available separately on eBay soon…
