Dead Island: Riptide Zombie Bait edition has headless, armless bloody bikini torso figurine
Update: Dead Island Riptide publisher Deep Silver has taken to Twitter to apologise for its controversial bloodied, buxom bust collectible.
It’s unclear if the Zombie Bait Edition is still going into production and if it will still include the torso, but until then Deep Silver has issued the following statement:
“We deeply apologise for any offense caused by the Dead Island Riptide ‘Zombie Bait Edition,’ the collector’s edition announced for Europe and Australia. Like many gaming companies, Deep Silver has many offices in different countries, which is why sometimes different versions of Collector’s Editions come into being for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.”
“For the limited run of the Zombie Bait Edition for Europe and Australia, a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island.”
