I've been seeing people reporting that their TWD Little Big Head preorders have been cancelled.

Good. What a really lame idea from the beginning. Funko is bad enough. McFarlane should never stoop to that level.

My quick shots of the awesome 2016 SDCC Negan and S8 Rick:

I'm still sad the **** & dismemberment of 5" murdered this forum.

And while I'm being tongue in cheek, I also actually mean it. I used to really love this discussion.

So despite my protesting I bought Rick and Michonne. Honestly, I like them. I do wish Rick didn't have that bulbous neck and had ball jointed shoulders. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it. Michonne also would have benefitted with some arm articulation but she at least looks cool in the designated pose. I'm not going all in on these. Of the ones announced I'll get Carl and Daryl. Probably Glenn, Maggie, Jesus and Negan if they do them. I do hope they do some of the walkers.

We are working on adding in more articulation in the following figure releases

Good news, ball jointed shoulders and elbows would go along way.

Bueller... Bueller... Bueller?

Color Tops killed this forum. R.I.P.

My wallet is grateful for all of this, but it's sort of sad because I loved hunting down the newest waves and TWD were the only figures I'd buy the complete wave of.

Same. The color tops are a huge pile of crap.

I think most frustration is just that of owning so many of previous lines as you all have. However I just saw the Color Tops in person for first time and I thought they looked amazing. Great figure of a good size and great price for the quality, likeness and size.

@spawnshop I'm so far out the loop ... why are they called Color Tops? Think I'm gonna start collecting these. Also eye'n the Deandre Hopkins I saw today in store.

@Wreck Color Tops is a way that Todd wanted to make it easier for the collector. For the hardcore collector, it's an easy way to see what series are out there on the shelf. For instance, the Red color denotes series 1. So if you have all of series one, you won't be looking for Red since you have them all....So then for series 2, you would be looking for Blue, and so on.
Also, each figure is numbered, similar to pop-vinyl to make it even easier to find in the stores. Only looking for #3 in the series? then just look down the left side of the boxes for a quick view of the numbers.

I just got my samples of Daryl and Madison today at work - i gotta say, that these look great in person!
Here's a review from Nerdist: http://nerdist.com/figures-and-speech-mcfarlane-toys-the-walking-dead-color-tops/

Also, I've seen samples of the new 5" figures coming out too, and they also look awesome. A lot of good stuff coming out this next year!

Just being optimistic.
Are there coming more than the Daryl/Bike V2 and the WalGreen duo ?

 

[kassle]

Well, no comment on Color Tops, but absolutely THRILLED to hear that the new 5" look good!

5" FOREVAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They didn't even have a booth... just like SDCC. All they had was a small display showcasing mainly Color Flops. Nothing new. Disappointing is an understatement.
