Zombie lines are complex for LEGO to produce and approach considering the inherent violence of reanimating the dead. In media, the theme often calls for guns and other intense weaponry that doesn’t work in children’s toys. As a result, anything with increased violence would require fans to have them custom done as MOCs (My Own Creations) outside of official LEGO licensing and branding. 7 LEGO Zombie Ideas LEGO Could Actually Use Zombies have been consistently popular in films, television, and video games for decades. There have been several hit movies and acclaimed shows, from Zombieland to The Walking Dead. However, as a toy company, LEGO provides products predominantly aimed at children, making zombies a problematic theme to approach. As a result, there are minimal offerings for official LEGO Zombie products.

Supported by over 1,000 fans in the community, Plants vs. Zombies – Front Lawn brings in another hit video game franchise that makes zombies a little more friendly. Like Minecraft, Plants vs. Zombiesfocuses less on zombie-theming’s gory and violent components. The best part, however, is that this idea isn’t simply a set but a defensive strategy game. I love having board game nights and am always on the lookout for new options to try.

Development

Since I’m very squeamish when it comes to movies and shows, I’ve yet to be able to get through The Walking Deadseries from AMC. However, reading is a free-for-all with me for zombie mayhem. I have greatly enjoyed what I’ve read of the Image Comic series that inspired the show, written by Robert Kirkman.

Given the popularity of the original movie, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island,and the release of a sequel in 2019, this could be a viable and child-friendly option for LEGO to revitalize the line. Scooby-Doo’s villains are never what they seem, leaving room to incorporate the zombie theme effectively for young builders. Additionally, with other sets already fitting this theme released in 2015, this is a great way to bring those sets out of storage for builders who need more of the mystery gang. PopCap first released Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time exclusively on IOS devices. PopCap added more plants, zombies, and mechanics to the game. The most notable change from the first game, however, is the fact that Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time is a free-to-play game. Gameplay New Mechanics Plant Food Plant Food Zombie apocalypses always start somewhere, and what could be scarier than zombies in your own home? Coming from LEGO Ideas, this zombie house has over 3,000 supporters. Its storyline revolves around saving a baby from the inside, surrounded by a horde of zombies. This build was rendered digitally, and the house looks very nice, making it a fun zombie play option and a great potential display piece! On March 26th, 2013, the company revised its previous statements and touted an "early summer" release in 2013.PopCap revealed the sequel on the morning of August 20th, 2012. No details about the game were given except for a "late spring 2013" release window.

If I’m not building LEGOs or reading, I tend to be playing video games. While Call of Duty and its zombie ray gun may not be everyone’s first thought when it comes to the undead, I think it’s a worthwhile inclusion since it’s such a unique build. It adds an extra element of fantasy with the coloration and Call of Duty has become known for its Zombie Mode, after all. While it was a challenge, these are the criteria I used when making my selections for ideas LEGO could consider producing: Given that Marvel has already released a zombie Captain America figure in Marvel’s What If?minifigure series, it is plausible to expand on this figure by developing an alternate universe line around it. After all, there is a Marvel Zombiescomic that can provide plenty of ideas that go beyond the show! Keys are special items that randomly drop when enemies are killed. They can drop in any level and from any enemy. Keys are used to open gates on the world map that lead to more plants, upgrades, and levels. Stars Level Select With an Unclaimed Star

Eliminating the gun would lessen an aspect of violence without sacrificing the core story. The zombie figures used in the rendering also aren’t very grotesque, making similar designs very possible for LEGO. Despite the house and area being run-down, no bloody elements are incorporated into the build itself. A set like this could be compared to a themed haunted house, making it a flexible option for zombie-themed play.

While The Last of Us is technically not a zombie story, it definitely shares a setting and thematic similarities with the genre. This build inspired by the video game series turned tv show provides another expected setting: the barricaded room. Zombies are not easily stopped, making barricades a much-needed element of any zombie build involving enclosed spaces.

Scooby-Doo is a classic franchise with plenty of room to add creepy horror elements in positive ways. Fans with the Mystery Machine set ( 75902) featuring the Zombie minifigure could build MOCs centered around Zombie Island. Combining this figure with those of Mystery Inc. and an island or swamp MOC would result in tons of fun – which I will try to build myself soon! Island Setting Marvel sets, and figures have always been a staple in my toy collection, especially those involving Spider-Man. The MCU has brought numerous incredible sets, but Marvel’s What If? definitely provides a ton of potential for future LEGO offerings. After the debut of Captain America as a zombie in the series, fans took to their collections to bring the undead hero to life. On May 6th, the company released a teaser trailer with an almost final release date; July 2013. It also revealed the game's full title: Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. No platforms were announced. Despite the popularity of zombie films and series, few ways exist to make zombie-themed sets friendly for younger consumers. Without appropriate weaponry, iconic zombie stories like The Walking Deaddon’t work well in LEGO. However, LEGO has left a few breadcrumbs in other themes that can be used creatively to bring builders fun – and acceptable – sets. Selection Criteria: LEGO Possibilities Overall MOC Difficulty Potential: Easy to Moderate (based on builder’s skill level, collection, and choice of terrain)

LEGO fans with some Minecraftsets featuring zombies can use alternate terrain builds instead of just relying on the ones out of the box. I’ve spent more hours in Minecraftthan I dare share, and I’m always excited when new biomes are added to the game – because it means more time to spend building in new areas. Bringing new biomes from Minecraftto reality is even better!
