Kirkman and Nicotero Bring You Anti-Zombie Busts.. With Real Human Hair
Uggghh. This story makes me vaguely nauseous:
Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment imprint has joined forces with legendary make-up effects wizard Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead, Grindhouse) to produce a line of products based on Kirkman’s long-running undead comic and other Skybound titles.
…
The first fruit of that collaboration is the Nicotero-designed, life-size, and pretty darned gruesome zombie bust pictured below. The sculpture will be sold exclusively at Skybound’s Comic-Con booth from Wednesday and will be priced at $500. If that sounds like a lot of dough, bear in mind that Nicotero’s company KNB has only made 25 of the suckers and that each one features real human hair!!!
Yes, that’s right, Kirkman and Nicotero are selling Anti-Zombie props made in part from actual human beings. Well, their cast-off hair. Their quest for verisimilitude is highly, highly disturbing.
What’s next, using actual human skulls?
Wait, I shouldn’t give them any ideas.
