MKM Signs ZOMBIEZOO®, a Hot New Line of Collectable Plush Toys

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Nov. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- MKM, an active lifestyle marketing and public relations firm, has just signed ZOMBIEZOO®, the hot new line of collectable plush toys from award-winning children's author/illustrator Neecy Twinem.  Different and a bit quirky, ZOMBIEZOO characters feature an unusual story line and unique personalities.  MKM will spearhead grassroots marketing and publicity efforts for Holiday 2010 and ZOMBIEZOO's debut at Toy Fair 2011.  Detailed information is available at www.zombiezoo.com.

The ZOMBIEZOO family of fun loving animals includes Boo the black cat, the natural born leader of the group, and Stich, a pig obsessed with hygiene.  Along with their friends, Muck (Monkey), Rob (Rabbit) and Toxic (Snake), they stand at 12 to 15 inches high, are made of soft fleece and have a loveable "Frankenstein" quality of stitching adorning their bodies and over-sized heads.  The suggested retail price for ZOMBIEZOO characters is $18.99.  

As a lover of toys and anything quirky, ZOMBIEZOO creator Neecy Twinem is realizing what has literally been a dream come true with the introduction of the new Zombies.  The line was created when Twinem's cat Boo, the namesake of one of her characters, and greatest muse, whispered the idea of ZOMBIEZOO to her in her sleep.  As a collector of anything playfully dead, Twinem had always desired to create a collection of her own.

"Neecy is an amazingly talented individual and has some great things in store for ZOMBIEZOO," said MKM principle Mike Kingsbury.  "Our team is excited to play a role in helping her grow the ZOMBIEZOO brand."

Neecy is an award-winning children's book author and illustrator with over 26 published books. Neecy's richly textured, intensely hued paintings are filled with movement and whimsical spatial play.  In addition to hanging in numerous national private collections, her artwork can also be found in a variety of markets including book covers, educational books, classroom readers, and magazines, as well as puzzles, posters, greeting cards, prints, t-shirts, mugs and public murals.  Learn more about Neecy at www.neecytwinem.com.
