I found this item solicited in the latest Previews/Game Trade Magazine.
Yep, that's an odd Billy Jean / Thriller mashup zombie mini. Note that this issue no doubt went to print weeks ago, and this mini went into production probably months ago.
I wonder if Previews will pull this item entirely, or increase the price? I could see it going either way.
Incidentally, I see a lot of people playing minis games at Origins every year, but I never see anybody using all the joke figures that come out. Like this suddenly-insensitive Dead Michael, or the three-headed ogre with the faces of Moe, Larry and Curly. Is "parody mini" just a sub-genre of a sub-genre, directed at collectors... or do some minis gamers actually work these into their little lead armies?
