I think if Hasbro had been REALLY savvy and switched-on they would have done this with the Zombie-Viper figure, making a random three-figure insert between any of the three. Would have made for some fun chase figures......but probably would have been hellish to try and collect all three regardless.

If it died, it would just come back from the dead. You know how it goes. Anyhoo you need to watch the Zack Snyder Dawn of the Dead remake.

While the gears in my head are going...

An alternate reality line of post-apocalyptic Joes would be amazing. Though probably too gritty for the kiddos. Maybe a couple 7-packs, a comic mini-series (4-6 issues) and that's it.

It worked for the X-Men and Age of Apocalypse.

Instead of having a Joe 7-pack and a Cobra 7-pack, have a Survivors 7-pack of assorted Joes/Cobras. Plus just for kicks, stuff the survivor pack with fan favourite b-squad guys like Doc, Shipwreck and maybe just one of the Crimson Twins and then do up the a-listers (and the other Crimson Twin) as zombies/mutants.

I'm happy with my army of 3 Zombies but if they made chase figures like Arrow suggested then I'd buy that. It would be nice if they gave us a few new heads as well.

Neat idea but it won't happen. I like the idea of one of the twins alive and the other a zombie. I'd like to suggest Dreadnok Monkeywrench alive as well. Why him? He would make a cool looking "survivor" figure and unlike most of the Dreadnoks he doesn't use close quarters weapons. He's be using his pitchfork looking gun and throwing some of the grenades he wears on his chest. Picking Zartan or Zandar to be alive would be too predictable.  That would make a good side story I think. Zombies invade Dreadnok's hangout, leave it down to Burn Out and Monkeywrench as the last 2 members and finally have Burn Out fall and Monkeywrench join up with a pocket of surviving Joes.

no, i really don't. i have only ever watched ONE zombie movie and will never watch another and i only watched Shaun of the Dead because a mate's step-brother was in it.

Shaun of the Dead was *awful*. The only good zombie movies are scary zombie movies. (and Zombieland - but those zombies were frickin' terrifying)

Yeah, I know. Though IDW has been dabbling in zombie crossovers for their various properties, so we might get the comic.
