Each draft is a little different. Usually tokens and lands get pulled. However, for Amokhet, the lands were left in.
I wouldn't be surprised if these get left in since they are foil. Also, it's an Un-set, draft rules are made to be broken.
My god I need that Thopter for Breya! Not sure the zombie beats out the flip one but dang these are all beautiful.

YAY!!!!
I don't actually give a Thragtusk fart about the tokens aside from this, they will be highly desired, will spur pack cracking and might drive down the price of those sweet, sweet Avon lands

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Wow, just wow.
I could honestly see 2nd or 3rd picking in draft a couple of these FOIL tokens.
Your store leaves the tokens in the pack?
I mean, the article states that the tokens will be one of the fifteen cards in the pack. (2 contraption, 1 land, 1 token, 11 unstable cards) So I imagine they're left in.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
I'm kind of wondering how legible the power and toughness will be on them. I actually like the normal tokens since they are easy for friends and family to read and understand on game night.

Wow, those are awesome. So many people who are not even interested in Unstable are going to buy packs just for the lands and tokens. Brilliant marketing on WOTC's part on a set that may see otherwise questionable sales.

So now we know for a fact that each pack contains 12 "normal" cards instead of the normal 14.
I wonder if this will affect draft? Will it be harder for decks to reach 23 playables? Maybe 18-land decks will become more common in this format?
2 contraptions, 1 Basic Land, 12 "normal" cards.
The average player will draft 6 contraptions and 36 action cards, meaning they would cut 13 to get to 23 playables, or still have plenty of margin if they draft more contraptions.
Oh my God. WotC actually remembered that other zombie token arts exist, and didn't just reuse the same one they always do.
I own 27 different Zombie tokens. What are you talking about? They mix it up each year.
The Lucas Graciano one from original Innistrad. While it's true that every Standard-legal set gets new token art, supplemental stuff like Duel Decks and Commander decks reuse old art for the tokens more often than not, as did Core Sets. And they frequently reuse the exact same aforementioned art. The lack of variety is annoying on its own, considering how many different illustrations they have to choose from. To make matters worse, though, is the fact that Lucas Graciano's zombie art is bland and ugly; it's neither memorable, like the Tarkir zombies, nor pleasing to look at, like the Cynthia Sheppard Innistrad zombie. I've yet to hear anyone say that that art is their favorite; most people I've talked to would rather they reuse just about any other art.
Well. This will be wanted.

Yeah, unfortunately, while it's far better than either of the generic ones they typically use, this one isn't as good as some of the older art such as the Mirrodin Besieged one, the Shards of Alara one, or one of the original Innistrad ones (which is one of the best non-flavor-specific pieces of zombie art out there).
Give Zaliki a CardI must have all the cats!
with a full art version of that Zombie token (you know the one).

It's not the best, but the variety is welcome, at least.
Also, while I can agree with your other two choices, I gotta say, Alara zombies? Really? Ew.
