To recap, one of the most striking features of the JoeLanta GI Joe convention in Atlanta last month was a gigantic tribute to The Walking Dead, “Zombie Horde at Yellow Jacket Creek,” a huge diorama built by Mike Gardner was loaded with tons of custom action figures, plus scenary, vehicles, a highway overpass and lots and lots of walking dead folks, plus an explosion, this awesome diorama measured eight by eight feet, and stood almost eight feet high in places.

This week we are going to pick up where we left off, just past Michonne beheading a zombie (see last week’s PopCult Toybox), and we will rotate, clockwise, around the diorama where we will find Carl, Hershel, Daryl, Rick, The Governor and a few surprises.

We’re not quite done yet with this diorama. If we’re lucky, you will get to see one last JoeLanta video this weekend. Now, on with the pictures…

We rejoin the diorama looking down at Carl and Hershel.

Oh yeah, there’s that sportscar exploding on the highway

Stop, drop and roll. Maybe don’t drop that far.

“Fire bad!”

Don’t get too “tired.” Yuk, Yuk..get it?

We now check out the upper level of the highway

Just past the exploding car, we find a Zombieland gag and a D.O.B in-joke.

What made that car explode, anyway?

Img_0219

Oh, hello Governor. Is that an anti-tank gun you’re holding?

Img_0222

Looks like it did the trick

More of the zombies storming the truck

And the poor chumps stuck in the back of it.

Merle don’t take no crap from no walkers!
