Huckleberry Toys
2012
I've never actually seen the film ParaNorman. In fact, I don't think I had even heard of it until I came across this series of figures. From what I can gather based on the Wiki page, it's really nothing short of yet another random 3D animation film thrown out there in the midst of 2012 when pretty much every company was jockeying for some form of blockbuster children's movie. The film appeared to be successful in that vein having received relatively positive reviews from critics, so with that said, maybe one day I'll actually check out the movie.
For now, I want to explore the line of toys released by Huckleberry the same year the film was released.
Zombie Lemuel Spalding*Norman in Pajamas
The kids in the line don't necessarily thrill me, but again, I haven't seen the movie, so I don't really know who they are. It's the zombie characters which stand out for me.
Zombie Amelia Wilcott*Zombie Will London
It's impressive that Huckleberry created eight different figures for the line, but disappointing at the same time that there was nothing for the figures to interact with. Again, I haven't seen the movie, but can I at least get a playset or vehicle here?
Norman*Neil
Alvin*Zombie Judge Hopkins
In addition to the base set figures, Huckleberry released a set of four figures at San Diego Comic Con which featured either different outfits or glow in the dark abilities.

It's a neat line, but overall pretty forgettable for me.
