New York- Mezco’s October 10th book signing for the release of the long awaited Art of the Living Dead Dolls book was already one of the most anticipated events of New York Comic Con’s Super Week, but Mezco has turned it up a notch and made it THE event every fan will want to attend.

One of the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Times Square Odditorium rooms will be sealed off and transformed into a haven for Living Dead Dolls fans. On display will be an assortment of rare and one of a kind Living Dead Dolls artifacts direct from the Mezco archives. Many of these items have never been seen by the public, and a select number of them will be available for purchase, including hand painted prototypes, and concept art.

The first 200 attendees will each receive a free Living Dead Doll themed goodie bag plus a chance to win a test shot set of Living Dead Dolls Series 28 dolls. Test shot sets are seldom released to the public, making this a rare chance for a fan to acquire one of the most sought after collectibles in the Living Dead Dolls universe.

Each of the 200 goodie bags will contain a set of special limited edition art prints available only at the event along with carefully curated selection of other Mezco and Living Dead Doll themed items.

A special Living Dead Doll will premiere exclusively at the event and will available for purchase by attendees while supplies last (per person limits may apply).

Selected artists who are featured in the tome will be present to autograph the book, and the creators of the Living Dead Dolls be in attendance to make their unholy mark upon its pages and imprint a custom embossed image.

Additionally, legendary artist Basil Gogos (writer of the foreword) will be on hand to greet guest for the first hour of the gathering.

All of this, and more, occurs on Friday October 10th, beginning at 8pm.
