Twin Peaks Action Figures Are Sadly Not Real

It’s too bad that Twin Peaks didn’t last longer on TV. It had some quirky characters and plenty of dark and bizarre goings-on. Plus, we never even got any action figures. At least these action figure mock-ups from Twin Peaks let us see what we missed out on. All of your favorites are here with perfect matching accessories.

Special Agent Dale Cooper comes with his donuts and coffee mug, while Lucy Moran has a watering can and plant, and Windom Earle comes with several disguises. These come from illustrator Max Dalton who created them in poster form for Spoke Art’s David Lynch-inspired art exhibit. It is too bad they aren’t real products. I would buy the whole set.

The Map of Zombies Cuts up Animated Corpses into Over 350 Types

Jason Thompson – the same artist who made the excellent Dungeons & Dragons Walkthrough Maps – made what he calls The Map of Zombies. Jason drew the 25″ x 36″ poster in the style of an old medical chart. It has over 350 types of zombies, ending in specific media where that particular zombie is mentioned, such as a book, a movie, a game or a TV show.
