Derived products - Diamond Select Toys : Our review about Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 DST

By Mulder, Los Angeles, 24 march 2017

We received three items from Diamond Select Toys, three which are from the Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare Two line There toys can be found on their website and local retail stores in the United States such as Toys “R” Us.   These toys are recommended for ages 8 and up due to the small nature of some of the accessories and the fact that small children can easily break or damage the collectable models.  Diamond Select Toys shipped the products together and they were carefully bubble wrapped to prevent damage in shipping. 

The popular Xbox game Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 ‘GW2’ is extremely popular with all ages, especially young adults. Diamond Select Toys has collaborated with PopCap and EA to produce a great collection of toys separated into two series of action figures. We received the Disco Zombie and Peashooter which can battle it out on your desktop as your play your game on the Xbox or watch people stream the game on Twitch.tv. Both figures have several movable parts of which turning the Disco Zombie head 360 degrees is a lot of fun. He also comes with a Disco ball gun that is lightweight and detachable. It does not overball the figure when you have it attached and your zombie figure on his base which is often a common failing of other companies cheaply made toys. The Peashooter is likewise able to stand on its own and does not fall over even with some gentle pressure or a shotgun blast from a nerf gun.

The second set is the Foot Soldier Zombie and Weed. The Foot Soldier Zombie is a popular character to be chosen because he is able to missile launch himself in the air and comes with a detachable gun. Both of his arms move very well and easily attach to his gun along with a rotating 360 head. The detail of a missing shoe with holes in his socks, different colored controls on his rocket and a Z for zombie belt buckle round some of the great features of this figure. The Weed is equally detailed and is able to stand effectively on its own both as a model and a separate piece of this collection. The Weed figure gives the impression that it could get up and start moving on your desktop while leaving gouges with the appearance of shape leaves as feet and a fully rotatable head with an expression of incoming doom for any zombie in its path.

The third set is Super Brainz and Rose. Rose has has a rotatable head and both of her rose hands are detachable. All parts of the figure are bendable and she comes with a purple cape with stars. She can also stand on her own as she battles Super Brainz along with her companions. Super Brainz gives an impression of size and strength with both his head and arms able to move in a circle. The only flaws that I found with the set is that the plastic zip ties used to hold the figure inside the boxes are a bit on the hard side to remove and sadly while battling the zombies vs plants, Super Brains lost a leg at the knee when i attempted to bend the legs. Even with that one issue, each figure has detailed graphics and expressions. Each set would be a wonderful gift for any fan of the franchise and Diamond Select Toys exceeded high expectations on the quality of product.
