Has anyone heard of these before? Looks interesting

Okay, these I might just have to get. They sort of look like Liv's tho with those eyes... I'm not a big fan of the eyes facing forward, so those'll be the first thing changed if/when I do snag one. Glass eyes without that printed-on-paper look. -- I approve of the Glasgow smile.

These are quite interesting! And really quite morbid since all the princesses were turned into zombies from humans (unlike in MH where I sort of think of the zombie characters as having always been zombies, if that makes sense).

They have a website http://www.onceuponazombie.com/ and it looks like there will also be boys in this line.

Im reading through their bios (under the gallery page) and they're quite hilarious lol. Full of MH-esque puns and then some (rock on, fellow Smashing Pumpkins fan, you).

Was just about to post links!  I think it's a genius concept; love them and can't wait to see the other characters!  Rapunzel, Snow White and The Little Mermaid in particular look great.  Love the 'story' too.  I do wonder about the name Belle.  Wouldn't that violate Disney somehow?

According to Wikipedia, it looks like the daughter's name is usually Belle, so I don't think that would be infringing on any of Disney's rights (now if they named their Sleeping Beauty "Aurora," there may be trouble).

It looks like there will also be books based around this series, too.

The concept is wonderful!  The execution not so much.  Their faces look so vapid and bovine, and the clothes look cheap.  The fact that they are flat-footed is pretty awesome though, I hate when dolls have permanent high-heel feet.

A couple of these dolls will probably have to make their way home with me at some point, so I can make them look the way they ought to.

It will be very interesting to see the rest of the line, and to see what the actual products look like as opposed to the prototypes. There's some concept art of the Peter Pan character here: http://www.onceuponazombie.com/news.html

Thanks for the link
They have weird size feet. would need shoes.
I need to see more pictures to see if I like them.  First impression is I like the idea more than the dolls.

Oh CRAP. I need them all! I've always loved this concept, as fairytales and zombies are two of my favourite things (kinda obvious from my screen name, I know ) Their faces/expressions do look blank, but I think that's perfect for them Love the bare feet, too!

I hope they don't get in trouble with Disney... the only one I could really see being a problem is Snow White, since they're using the red/blue/yellow colour scheme (albeit reversed). Gonna plan to nab her first in case Disney goes after them.

Yeesh, I'd better start saving up. Hope they won't be too pricey, as playline goes--their outfits aren't super detailed... I guess we'll wait and see!

Edit: Eee, there's going to be a Red Riding Hood! I'm dooooomed!

Gotta remember that these are just protos and the real thing could either be better or worse. I, for one, love them already!

[Gothic_Redemption]

Oh no. I neeeeeeeed them.

[Dibbles]

I just saw someone post about these on Flickr! I think they're really cute, especially Snow White and Cinderella. I might have to nab some.

[Psivampyr]

Nod Nod I have to have these too, wonder where they will be sold and how much and when!!!

[LuvlyMelody]

My goodness, darn my freaking curiosity! Why did I have to check out what this thread was about?! *Shakes fist at her curiosity*

I'm liking what I'm seeing and I must have them all!!

They're like a cross between Liv and Monster High! I know I wanted the Liv line to come back to life, but not like this!! Undead zombies!!
