If you have a fetish with all things dark and dead then you will certainly want to add the Dismember-Me Plush Zombie to your collection of dark and mysterious items. The plush zombie can be ripped apart in various ways and then put back in place or put in other areas. The torso can be torn apart so his/her inside will be seen.
