Zombie Burbz were 16 figures made by WowWee in 2011 and widely available in 2012. They came in four distinct packs of four figures as part of their AppGear line. Each pack corresponded to the four versions of their platform game: High, Services, Diner, and Avenue.
The figures themselves are 1 to 1.75 inches in height. Though small, they came in oddly oversized packages with three visible figures and one obscured figure. The excessive packaging suggested something more might be inside. More figures? Maybe some kind of display, portal, or software? But nothing else was inside except some papers instructing you on how to download the game. The original price was $10 per pack of four. Judging by the amount of Zombie Burbz that I saw go to deep clearance, I don't think the venture was very successful. Regardless, I find the figures mildly amusing and had always hoped the toyline would continue.
