Despite zombies being en vogue after Marvel Zombies (volumes 1 all the way through 4, natch) as well as DC’s upcoming storyline Blackest Night, I’m pretty sure nobody saw this toy coming:
Aw yeah. Zombie Solid Snake, from Metal Gear Solid. Or as I propose we call him, Rotting Snake.
I can pretty much see him at work — he’s sneaking up on someone under his trademark cardboard box, when suddenly a security guard is like, “jeez, what is that awful smell? It’s like somebody left the garbage out in the sun or something.” And then Snake’ll jump out and yell, “I have a condition!!!”
This toy’ll be available for order starting in October (appropriate, I guess) for about $79.99. There’s also a more “realistic” version of Zombie Snake available here.

Technically that’s Naked Snake (aka Big Boss) from Metal Gear Solid 3 and he’s wearing his skull camo facepaint. Which is very helpful in the final Boss battle.
Because I’m a MGS fanboy.

So you say Naked tomato, I say Zombie tomahto!
And I now really want to see a comic of the Adventures of Rotting Snake.
