The Walking Dead Zombie Army Men

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

No female zombies? That seems a tiny bit sexist…

I was just gonna say, these look cool.. but why are they all dudes? Do the ladies know a survival trick we should know about?

Perhaps “10 for $14″, not “$10 for $14″?

Those are pretty nifty, but if you need a BUNCH and don’t need as much variety, you can get 100 glow in the dark zombies at http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-2001TLC-Bag-Zombies-Glow-in-The-Dark/dp/B000E9T8GE for $10. Non radioactive ones are available as well.

I collect 1960′s Marx playsets and figures- the gold standard for 2 1/2 inch plastic figures- and these sculpts look beautiful. Count me in.

Plenty of plausible biological reasons why a zombie virus would either only affect people with Y chromosomes, or possibly just kill people without Y chromosomes rather than turning them into zombies. And the sample size is small enough that we wouldn’t necessarily expect to see any trans or intersex zombies…
