Just keep checking the McF facebook and social media. I'm sure with SDCC coming up, there will be some news

SDCC Exclusive:

It's kinda depressing how much killing the 5" TV line has killed the enthusiasm we all had here. :-/

Exactly. Killing the 5" TV line has turned this place into a black hole of despair. Same goes for the FB group. It's not nearly as fun as it once was when everyone was anticipating line-ups, seeing images for the first time etc.

I know what you guys mean, everywhere WD merchandise related seems to be dead at the moment. Hopefully with SDCC coming up in a few weeks we may get some more news. Cant wait to see Comic Wave 5 in packaging and hopefully some releases not seen yet.

 

[Dyson]

Haven't even heard anything on the little big heads I ordered. Are those still coming?

 

[Real Scooby]

As MLK said

"I had a dream..."

...that MF finally gave in to us collectors, hacked the BigHeads and brings out the entire wave as regular 5inchers

 

[joossa]

Looks like they are doing a summer preview starting next Monday with a big reveal at the end. We shall see what's in store...

 

[SimbaUK2015]

A big reveal that is a personal apology from Todd McFarlane himself in axing the 5inch TV line and that they were be bringing out a super duper set for Christmas that includes unmade characters such as Rosita, Tara, Sasha etc....in our dreams lol

 

[Dyson]

Ill take what we can get at this point even as Walgreen exclusives

 

[joossa]

5in Constable Rick and Aaron confirmed as Walgreens exclusives for a winter release.

 

[Real Scooby]

At last .....

So, with Aaron we have one from the MBHeads done. I bet my soul, they already have plans for Church Lady Walker, Season 1 Glen, Walker Shane and Nurse Beth already..

 

[Dyson]

Completely different head sculpt on Aaron though.

 

[Real Scooby]

just saw the awesome season 7 trailer !!! and being it exclusive the walgreens, skybound or whatever or not, I foresee another TV 5-inch upcoming, Ezekiel w/ Shiva Deluxe Boxed Set
Remember my words

 

[Real Scooby]

still waiting for the mindblowing news .... someone ??

 

[ccs]

This still really bums me out. TWD is the only series that I have been committed to getting a complete set of. Our community had grown so big and was so enthusiastic about the products. Then Todd McFarlane kicks us all in the balls and puts out those now confirmed awful 7 inch figures. I guess he's content with his company going back to being irrelevant.

 

[Dyson]

Well those 3" little big heads have been cancelled now too. I'm likely the only one who cared though

 

[joossa]

I'm spreading this around... Here is a review of the 7in Rick Statue. Useless articulation... can't even move the head without it looking like he has a tumor on his neck.

Remember, what you buy or don't buy sends a message!

 

[Real Scooby]

Lol !! IMO there is only ONE option left for MF , back to the roots and continue the 5-inch on regular basis

 

[kassle]

What has happened with the Big Heads and Construction Sets, @spawnshop ? I was at SDCC - no booth presence and no new stuff?
