The toys revived when a drunken bum seeking shelter inside the Arcadia Warehouse was knocked unconscious by a box of toys and died on the spot.

After Ginger broke free and cut loose Brick, Zombietoid pursued them through the ventilation shafts. During the chase, Zombietoid's machete came into contact with an exposed electrical socket, electrocuting the doll and causing its defeat.
