9465 The Zombies is a Monster Fighters set released in August 2012. It contains 447 pieces, including two graves, four minifigures, Jack McHammer's car, a pavilion, and a glow in the dark spider piece.

Description[]

This set includes two exclusive minifigures, Zombie Bride and Zombie Groom and one other Monster, the Zombie Driver. Jack McHammer, the Monster Fighter, appears with a heavily modified truck which consists mainly of red and grey pieces and two massive hammers. The set also includes a cemetery scene with two coffins, and a small crypt.

The Car

The car is mainly red and grey pieces with two head lights, a cowcatcher in front for ramming enemies, a giant hammer on both sides, and four green flick missiles. The car has a mechanism where its hammers can slam when the wheels turn. The car has bigger wheels in the back and smaller ones in the front, a style of which is used in many Monster Fighters sets.

The Crypt and Coffins

The crypt is composed of mainly darker grey pieces. It has the Zombie Moonstone on the ground in front of a cauldron. Behind the cauldron is a blue and orange stained glass window. There is a lit torch on either side of the Moonstone. The crypt is topped with a bat statue and has brown and green vines growing around it, as well as a glow-in-the-dark spider crawling up the side. The steps are topped with various bricks, which are meant to represent them being cracked and crumbled. When the Moonstone is turned, the grey coffin lids open disclosing the zombies.

Background[]

The story of the set is Jack McHammer spots the graveyard, and then sees the zombies popping out of the coffins. The Cemetery is often referred to in Monster Fighters videos as "The Graveyard", and is home to the coffins of the Zombie Groom and Zombie Bride (who cannot fit inside either coffin due to her larger leg "dress" piece).

Notes[]

The set was going to include a Voodoo Doctor, but was changed to the Zombie Bride and Groom. Strangely, the inverse could be said for the character bio videos around the Zombie Bride and Groom being changed to the Voodoo Doctor.
Since the set was released relativity late to the Monster Fighters theme, the Zombie moon stone does not appear in the Vampyre Castle. Thus on the small comic on the back of the box, where Lord Vampyre is plugging in the zombie moon stone to the castle one of the other moonstones is missing, being the Mummy's.
It includes a glow in the dark spider.
It was retired in December, 2012 after five months of availability.
