Zombies today are even more popular today; ever since the film Night of the Living Dead (1968) by George Romero. Now with the new wave of fast moving zombies from Western pop culture, so many of us are obsessed with the undead.

Nowadays zombies are everywhere and not to be outdone, Toscano’s designers created the wildest new item in the Abraham Lincoln Zombie Containment Vessel (CL76062); a Design Toscano exclusive where zombies consumed our 16th president’s brain. If anyone ever told you to get “a head” now you can have some fun with this, up the fear factor use it to hold pens, scissors or provide weapons to your fellow zombie hunters. A unique conversation starter.
