Some collector's editions give you a statue. This one gives you a hula girl zombie. The Dead Island Riptide FanSet for Xbox 360 knows exactly what kind of shelf it belongs on, and it leans all the way in.

That 13 cm Zombie Hulagirl figure is the centerpiece here, a grotesque little dashboard companion that perfectly captures the darkly comedic spirit of the Dead Island franchise. It's weird, it's specific, and it's the kind of figure that makes visitors pick it up and ask questions. That's what good collectibles do.

Then there's the cloth banner. At 59 cm by 84 cm, this isn't some flimsy poster you tack up with thumbtacks. It's a high quality, large format piece that turns a wall into a statement. During the console wars era, when 360 collections were sprawling across entertainment centers, a banner like this was the flag you flew to declare your allegiance.

The DLC Survivor Pack rounds things out with in-game content, but let's be honest. You're here for the physical goods. The zombie hula girl has become one of those pieces that pops up in "best video game collectibles" conversations, and the banner gives your game room the kind of energy that RGB lighting wishes it could match. This FanSet is personality in a box.
