We would have hit this even without TP samurai.

If you want a Michael Jackson Thriller zombie, try this link:

Creator Stephen Erdman on May 4, 2012
I honestly didn't think we'd hit this.
Creator KT on May 4, 2012
Unbelievable! ^_^
Creator Christopher Young on May 4, 2012
-1 for broken tube. The flesh may be weak, but the tube is Eternal. I could maybe see it as an artistic statement on the original "The Tube is Civilization", clearly if the cardboard tube samurai is dead, then civilization is broken.
Creator guardian J on May 4, 2012
Buffy sounds awesome! That Velma art is pretty sweet, too.
Creator Shane Irons on May 4, 2012
How about Arnie
Creator Brian Watzig on May 4, 2012
ohh.. SMG.. yes.. lol brings back memmories of Black Ops Zombie Map with her in it..
Creator Dave Rambo on May 4, 2012
I agree with Mr. Mark Owen, the zombie universe needs more Velma, Scoob, and the Mystery Machine. Just no Fred, please god, no Fred.
Creator Jeff Martin on May 4, 2012
I agree that Bruce Campbell would be amazeballz in a future expansion. If we're looking for more female characters you could go with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Summer Glau, or even a Sigorney Weaver-ish Ripley knock off (a mom who was convinced to dress up for ComiCon while chaperoning her teenage son)
Creator Mark Owen on May 4, 2012
If I was choosing the next stretch goal reward, I'd have this: http://www.threadless.com/imgs/products/2094/636x460design_01.jpg
Creator Mark Cogan on May 4, 2012
@shawn That would be Jack Burton from Big Trouble.
But if we want a female character (and I think we do), how about a Buffy clone? Vampire slayer caught in the zombie apocalypse...
Creator Batei on May 4, 2012
Lucy Liu's character from Payback?
Creator Frederik Vezina on May 4, 2012
There is a slight advantage to having an unpainted (i.e. less distinctively recognizable) mini with regard to escaping trouble from MJ's estate. Just the same, sending out a promo quickly allows a dodge of legal threats (PvZ was out for a while before the zombie was removed), but we can't deny the issue. Not that any of the promo minis is safe from exactly the same legal threats, btw. Making him part of the expansion is not a good idea, but a promo is probably fine.
Spam time: More women survivors! (Also, make her non-Caucasian. Asian would be good.)
Creator Shawn Beatty on May 4, 2012
Kurt Russel's Big Trouble in Little China character....what's his name....
(But that goes against all my calls for more female characters.) So I'm with the pint-sized hit girl from Kick Ass. Or maybe some exclusive item/map/thing only for those backing this project.
Creator guardian J on May 4, 2012
Wow. I backed this morning when it was just over 400k, didn't think enough time for another 50k.
+1 for broken cardboard tube
Also, need another stretch goal. Bruce Campbell sounds awesome. With a bunch of mini-Ashes from the glass shards as the zombie.
Or White MJ as hero (ability: no other heroes will go near him) with Thriller era MJ as zombie.
Creator David Cunkelman on May 4, 2012
yeah,+1 - Zombie CTS should have a broken tube!!!
Creator David Cunkelman on May 4, 2012
We need a new goal for 500K (before we pass it for fun like 400K!!!), CMON, come on and spill it... What's next?!?!? I'm still voting for "OGRE" related Boss Zombie (like an Ogre the monster wearing and Ogre (the tank) shirt!!) OR Ash or more boards!!
Creator Gavin Meakings on May 4, 2012
@Benjamin Bement Michael Jackson is most likely off limits. Plants Vs Zombies features a zombie Michael Jackson and they had to remove him due to legal threats from his estate.
Creator Gregory Rycerz on May 4, 2012

Creator Marshall Cooper on May 4, 2012
Ever try to break a cardboard tube? Had a tendency to just bend, not rigid enough to actually break, but then I'm not familiar with the super awesome cardboard tube samurai, so maybe he has special cardboard...
Creator Benjamin Bement on May 4, 2012
I'm up for Bruce Campbell and/or Micheal Jackson
Creator Chris Seebacher on May 4, 2012
The Chin as a zombie would rock!!!!!
Creator Scott Seltzer on May 4, 2012
If they did a Bruce Campbell goal, I think I'd have to increase my pledge...
Creator Brian Watzig on May 4, 2012
I'm a Marine, why not a Marine figure bwahahaha
Creator Robert Arcolas on May 4, 2012
+1 for broken cardboard tube =)
Creator Andrew Deller on May 4, 2012
The next goal should be Bruce Campbell!
Creator Nick Eglinton on May 4, 2012
Actually yeah, that tube should be broken :)
Creator Tom Combs on May 4, 2012
At least I'll think I did.
Creator Tom Combs on May 4, 2012
I think I did that! WooHoo!!!
Creator DisOrd3r on May 4, 2012
Awesome! ^^ just awesome!
Creator Sham on May 4, 2012
Oh, please, I'll give you all my money for additional minis/trays, only make really NICE new goal 8)))
Art book or comix would be nice
Or Shaun of the Dead. Or since we've got Chuck (Who?) - Clin Eastwood would make a real american hero 8)))
Creator Jordan Peacock on May 4, 2012
Wow! It's amazing to see this thing keep going. I hope this game really launches off the shelves once it's in print!
Creator Joshua "Cornbread" Harris on May 4, 2012
His tube should be broken and dangling. Everyone knows the magic of the tube fails when it splits...
Creator Don Riddle on May 4, 2012
an animal hero? like Lassie? or Bonzo the Chimp?
Creator Tye Allum on May 4, 2012
Free Foam Trays^100000000000000000 That would be an amazing stretch goal!
Creator Robert DiChiara on May 4, 2012
How about a pint-sized Hit Girl? Or her ski-masked counterpart Kick-Ass? Or both!!
Creator Derek Garcia on May 4, 2012
Or even foam trays for half price, I'd definitely splurge and spend another $20 for trays!
Creator John J on May 4, 2012
Yeah! A Michael Jackson Zombie Master! Has the ability to "moon walk" and extra action each turn! Arrives with 10 walkers that always stay "in step" with him!
Creator Greg Schell on May 4, 2012
hahahahahahha, I just saw this bad boy go up 10k in less than an hour. SO EXCITED.
Creator Jacin L. Bailes on May 4, 2012
Another stretch goal?
Let's see if I can start the chant: Free foam trays! Free foam trays! Free foam trays!
Creator Cardician on May 4, 2012
Time for the Michael Jackson zombie!
Creator Tom Hoefle on May 4, 2012
Or two Ash please
Creator Dave Freireich on May 4, 2012
I'm thinking it will take Mike all of 2 seconds to approve that.
Creator Paul Ingram on May 4, 2012
And still over 40 hours to go! Surely we can dig up one last stretch to go out with a bang. :D
Creator Nick Eglinton on May 4, 2012
Love it :)
Creator Sham on May 4, 2012
Already!? That's really incredible!!!
Creator Cory Janzen on May 4, 2012
That's just awesome!
