LIVING DEAD DOLLS: Back from the grave... Again!

Tiny hands erupt from forgotten earth, tearing weeds and dry soil aside, grasping at a world inhabited by the living. Little eyes open again, staring at a world changed by the ravages of time, and reanimated limbs march towards the realms of the warm, living people that they must feast upon...

MEZCO's infamous line of undead dolls has returned once again with the fifteenth set of chilling infants, just in time for the tenth anniversary of the Living Dead Dolls range.

Unleashed in April 2008, fans are clambering for their latest fix from masters of the macabre (insert flash of lightning and theatrical cackle here) Ed Long & Damien Glonek. For this landmark tenth anniversary of the incredibly popular Living Dead Dolls range (Has it really been ten years? Doesn't time fly when you're being stalked by demonic, undead children?), the manufacturers have outdone themselves once again with an even more unsettling collection of tiny zombies than the last one! Instead of being phazed by the prospect of creating an even better set, the creators dived headlong into the task and have most certainly delivered on their promise. It must be getting pretty difficult to come up with range after unholy range of malevolent miscreants, but to the delight of fans worldwide they keep on coming. People all over the planet love the demonic sprogs, and the Living Dead Dolls themselves are consistently cool items to display in any crypt, lair or casket.

Apparently being unleashed upon the public in April 2008, the latest line of Living Dead Dolls coffin-bound kiddies contains: Judas, Countess Bathory, Death, Flamingo, and Gypsy. Death and Bathory? That aside, the inclusion of little Death and Countess Bathory is just the coup the LDD creators needed to make this set special. Granted, the dolls are all excellent, but there did have to be something unique about this set, and comes in the form of a little Reaper (every home needs a cute little Death doesn't it?) and Erzibet in miniature form. They are still packed with their own death certificates in their individual coffin boxes, these are cute and chaotic in equal measure. I mean, could you seriously picture getting much sleep with one of these beasts staring at you from your shelf? There's more about Living Dead Dolls on this page.

As ever, the workmanship is immaculate. The sculpts are first rate, especially on the Death doll, and the fabric costumes boast a high standard that has been noticeably improving over the last few sets of dolls. All in all, this is an exciting release, and a little different to the usual Living Dead Dolls set, which is just the right thing to celebrate the tenth anniversary. Here's to the next ten years of scaring the wits out of friends and family members all over the world!

Plus, if fans collect all five dolls, they'll find a little extra in there with them: Put all five extra pieces together to form the 'Talking board' accessory, essentially a Living Dead Dolls themed Ouija Board. How very appropriate, and the perfect thing to go alongside this awesome latest set of dolls. The Living Dead Dolls range may have its imitators, but they are yet to match this level of quality.
