Marvel Minimates Villains Zombies Box Set 2 Announced!

If there’s one thing that you can always find space for in your home (assuming you want to), it’s more Marvel Minimates! And after last year’s successful set of Minimates Marvel Zombies Villains (gotta love Zombie Galactus), Diamond Select Toys is ready to let the zombified villains of Earth-2149 run wild once again! Coming in time for Halloween 2014–the Marvel Minimates Villain Zombies Box Set #2 is now up for order!

Marvel Minimates Zombie Villains Box Set #2 Kingpin Dr. Doom Morbius SabertoothWith Disney not allowing Diamond Select Toys to produce any more Marvel Zombies toys of heroic characters (who tend to get the most spotlight in the Marvel Zombies comics), Art Asylum/DST has been forced to turn to the villainous side of the Marvel Zombies universe for inspiration instead.

Marvel Zombies Minimates Villains Figures Set Galactus Magneto Red Skull Green GoblinLast year Art Asylum gave us a pretty star-studded Marvel Minimates Zombie Villains Box Set featuring Zombie Magneto, Zombie Galactus, Zombie Green Goblin and Zombie Red Skull. It’s tough to top a lineup that already included the greatest villains of Spider-Man, Captain America and the X-Men, but I think that DST has made some strong selections for the second Marvel Minimates Villain Zombies box set.

Marvel Zombies 3 Zombie Morbius Vambie Cannot be Stopped

First up, we’ve got the Zombie Morbius Minimate. Morbius seems like a very odd choice–especially since he just got a Minimates in the Marvel Minimates Strange Tales set not that long ago. Even so, Zombie Morbius is the main character of Marvel Zombies 3 and also one of the few zombies to cross over into the 616 Marvel Universe, so he’s earned his inclusion in this set.

The concept art obviously shows Morbius donning his non-zombie-just-a-vampire Morbius mask from the comics (don’t ask).

Marvel Zombies Kingpin Zombie PictureFrom the same comics as Zombie Morbius comes Zombie Kingpin! In Marvel Zombies 3, the Wilson Fisk of Earth-2149 plots to invade the 616 Marvel Universe and devour it. Zombie Kingpin is a bit of a big deal in the Marvel Zombies universe, so he obviously deserves his spot here in the second Marvel Zombies Villains Minimates set.

Marvel Zombies Sabertooth PictureWho might not deserve the spot, however, is Zombie Sabertooth. Poor Marvel Zombie Sabertooth has basically no story. He shows up, fights the Marvel Cosmic Zombies and gets killed immediately. End story. I guess Sabertooth gets the nod here as he’s an iconic X-Men villain, but he’s not a particularly essential choice for this lineup.

Marvel Zombies Dr. Doom ZombieFinally, we’ve got whom I consider the headliner of this particular Minimates set: Zombie Dr. Doom from the Marvel Zombies: Dead Days comic books! On Earth-2149, Dr. Doom valiantly resists the Zombie infestation, but eventually succumbs to it. This series is probably most notable, however, for including Ash. As in, “Ash from Army of Darkness and The Evil Dead movies”. No, seriously–he’s in the Marvel Zombies universe. If only we could have Ash here in Minimates form!

The Marvel Minimates Villains Zombies Box Set #2 is now up for pre-order, and is expected to be delivered in October 2014. Zombies give me nightmares (seriously), but is anyone less faint-hearted than I planning to add this second quartet of Marvel Zombies Villains to their Marvel Minimates army?
