  1. Well that's interesting. The forest animals all have those same creepy eyes, but NONE of the Dwarfs have them. Does that mean the Dwarfs are immune to the zombie virus? ;-)

    1. : D The dwarfs still look like they're children in these figurines, so I think the virus doesn't take effect until you reach teenage years. ;)
