Season Two of The Walking Dead is over and I have so many questions. What’s that big shadowy building in the distance? Will it mean they’re safe now or will it spell certain doom? Will Lori ever figure out a way to keep track of Carl? We all know the answer to that last one is probably no, but while you wonder about the rest of those questions you can act out your own version of the show with these figures. You’ll get Rick, Shane, RV Zombie, Well Zombie and Bicycle Girl Zombie. These figures aren’t out just yet, but preorder now and you’ll have all the braiiiiins you can eat this summer.

Take one pinch of brain-eating zombies and add a dash of alcoholic businessmen and you’ve got The Walking Dead Mad Men mashup. Zombie Don Draper is still in charge, although not quite as handsome, Rick is desperately trying to get people to follow him to the water cooler, and Carl is, wait, where is he again?

Robert Kirkman’s popular comic book series are getting their very own Minimates. As the recent midseason premiere proved, the television show continues to create hordes of rabid fans as well; so we would expect Diamond Select Toys to make figures based on those characters somewhere down the line as well. No details on pricing or a release date have been announced.
See more photos of the Minimates after the break.

What if The Walking Dead was made in the ’80s? Well, it might have some cheesy theme music and a laugh track. And maybe Rick Grimes is played by Alan Thicke.
You wan’t a terrifying episode of The Walking Dead? Check out the video after the break.

I’ve enjoyed the second season of The Walking Dead so far, but it seems pretty obvious that all the time they are spending at the farm is due to the issue of budget cuts—the rumored reason behind Frank Darabont being fired from the show.
That having been said, you probably didn’t know that actor Sam Witwer from Being Human was the zombie solider in the tank with Rick in Atlanta from the pilot, and it seems that there is a reason why Darabont went with Whitwer instead of some random extra.
Now that the smoke has cleared, Witwer has a few things to rant about.

Just when you think you’re tired of the z-word someone goes and combines the undead with Lego. Yatkuu has translated a fight scene and the Winchester from Shaun of the Dead into brick form. I wonder if square brains taste the same…

You may have noticed a lot of Gerber knifes being wielded in the Walking Dead. Why, just this past weekend Glenn took out a Zombie in a pharmacy with the Gerber Gator Machete Pro.
That having been said, Gerber is looking to capitalize on zombie mania with an official Walking Dead Apocalypse survival toolkit. It contains seven stabby and slashy tools for $350. Shipping is slated for December 5th and only 200 kits will be available.
However, I was willing to bet that buying the Gerber tools individually would be cheaper, and it turns out I was right. Hit the jump for the complete breakdown of tools and links to get them all for only $259.36 (sans the carrying case).
