"Tofu" is a friendly zombie, created from a botched
experiment in Professor Vost's laboratory. Monkey # 5, one of Vost's lab
animals, stuffed a block of tofu into the zombie boy's open skull after
accidentally losing the brain. As a result, "Tofu" eats only
vegetables and grains and has no taste for human meat. However, if
"Tofu" ever loses his "tofu-brain", he turns into a
dangerous zombie creature, craving human flesh.
Professor Vost's sole mission in life is to find a cure for
the menacing zombie epidemic plaguing mankind. Vost believes the zombie pathogen
to be viral, caused by the genetic manipulation of meat products. The Evil
Mallesteros, owner of the world's largest meat packing company, wants to shut
down Professor Vost's research because sales from meat are beginning to suffer
due to Vost's conclusive findings.
"Tofu" is able to walk among both the human and
zombie world with safety and ease, however, he is never fully trusted or
accepted by either group. The professor's daughter Addie helps "Tofu"
blend into the human world by bringing him along with Lab Monkey #5 for fun and
adventures. However, Lab Monkey #5's mischievous, playful nature always gets
"Tofu" and Addie into trouble.
Because of his unique ability to intermingle in both worlds,
and his harmless vegetarian nature, the professor believes "Tofu" to
be the key in solving the Zombie epidemic. The question is; will he have enough
time to find a cure….
This is a beautiful 7”
PVC collectible toy with a removable tofu brain, it has five points of
articulation and comes on a removable base.
The colours of this item have to be seen to be believed, he is a deadly
shade of blue with a rather realistic peice of tofu in his head. His stand
includes fruit, crates and veges and this makes him a uniquely vegan zombie
collectible !
There have been various limited editions released (for
example a white edition limited to 150). The current release is a real beauty,
colourful, exceptionally detailed and with a very lifelike feel.
Careful when you remove his Tofu brain, he will return to
wanting human flesh !!
There is also a fantastic Tofu the Vegan Zombie animated
short – indeed it took home four FMPTA Crystal Reel Awards for Best Animation, Best Sound, Best Director and
Best Composer
