Astro Zombie Bunny:
Although they are as dim-witted as any zombie bunny, Astro Zombie Bunnies are quite dangerous. Heavy radiation from an asteroid crash has made them swift, aggressive, brain-hungry rogues ready to wreak havoc on the massive bunny population.

More about the Chaos Bunnies:
The Chaos Bunnies are a collection of characters and vinyl figures created and designed by Joe Ledbetter (aka J.Led). Under many iterations and names over the years, the Chaos Bunnies have been prevalent characters in J.Led’s paintings, prints, and toy designs since 2004. With as many variations of his signature bunny character as can be imagined, the possibilities are truly endless. The Chaos Bunnies play with ideas of over-population, individuality, alienation, enlightenment, and unadulterated joy. Not only is this project a labor of love, but a carefully designed art piece, a celebration of collectables, and a love letter to favorite childhood action figures. These bunnies might be super cute, but don’t forget they’re still wild animals from a distant planet.

 Wait, Who are the Chaos Bunnies??
Imagine a beautiful green planet filled with bunnies. Bunnies being what they are, have multiplied quickly and over-population has become a serious global issue. In the distant past, all bunnies had identical yellow fur coats, however, recent pollution and chaos have caused bunny mutations with endless variation. While the few aristocratic bunnies living above the fray carry their ancestor’s yellow fur and control of the planet, the masses are left to their own devices and adaptations. As doomed as their world’s fate often seems there are countless tales of heroic deeds, love, escape, hope and redemption. And even the most unlikely of bunnies could possibly save the planet.
