Join the Zombie Revolution

Happy Halloween from the Extreme Zombies!

Extreme Zombies offers an alternative to the typical ghoulish and scary zombies we’re used to, bringing them into the 21 st century as funny, trendy monsters of the night who are into all kinds of extreme sports!

With its edgy graphics and zany sense of humour the original Extreme Zombies concept is ideal for the challenging 8+ boys market.

With t-shirts going into C&A shortly, new electronic skins as well as an unbelievable response from the Brand Licensing Europe trade show, the Zombie craze is set to keep growing during 2012.

We are looking for more partners in all product areas.

MGL has been working very closely with the artist and creator of Marsh Mellow, Sean Sims, to create this marvellous, bright world where lions love lollypops and rhinos eat cupcakes!
