The Diamond Select Release introduces the latest addition to its zombie horde of walker merchandise in conjunction with Robert Kirkman's Skybound imprint at Image Comics. The bank will be available this summer but now, you can catch a preview of the bank this weekend. The bank is based upon Michonne's chained and armless and jawless walkers who protected her until she met up with Rick Grimes in creator/writer Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning comic book series and graphic novels. Michonne's pets protected her from walkers so it can surely keep your coins safe from intruders. The zombie bust measures 8" tall atop the famous The Walking Dead logo and is crafted in durable vinyl with a slot in the back for change. The Walking Dead's Michonne's Pet Bank features detailed sculpting and paint applications, making it not just a cool bank, but an amazing bust of zombie art.
