I think I prefered him when he went a but crazy

That's must have been awesome did you get anything signed?

It was. We got to talk to them for a while and got to hug them too. They were really lovely! I got some signed photos which i have framed as well as in an album.

Amazing news.

I always felt like @spawnshop was a 5" fan but, like all of us, has a job and just had to handle business whether he was fully onboard with the decision or not.

So great to know that Aaron, Sasha and now Negan (and an updated Glenn) are on their way!

Very appreciative that the collecting community was listened to, and that McF worked with Walgreens to revive the line. It isn't often a company backtracks based on fan feedback, so I do want to give credit to the company for being willing to switch gears even if it wasn;t the original plan.

My biggest wants for the future: Rosita, Jesus, Tara, Shane, Lori...and on the walker side I'd still like to see a Walker Sophia (and a Walker Shane). Both had huge moments on the show.

Anyway - it's a happy day here! Amazing news.

@kassle I am a 5" fan for WD, but was very excited for the 7" once the decision was made. I love the CT series, especially the WD.

All Negans are bought. Those JDM sculpts are incredibly realistic and too good to pass up.

Hey there @spawnshop - yeah...I'm not sure I articulated that exactly how I intended. No shade intended on your thoughts about 7" (sincerely). I meant that I never got the sense you wanted 5" to go away.

Had to buy Constable Rick online since her was not showing up at Walgreens. I miss the 5in line.

 

[Dyson]

Thanks for the continuation of the 5" line. Will definitely get Aaron, Sasha, and I'm stoked about Negan / Glenn 2 pack. Hopefully you can find a way to squeeze out Rosita, Jesus, Dwight and Ezekiel. The head sculpt on the Constable Rick is fantastic btw.

Looking forward to Jesus, Carl and Negan in the 7" line too.

One question, Is the comic line continuing? Things have been fairly quiet on that front for a while now.

Yeah, i love the 5" series. I have every single finger we ever made, including all the variants. Been a true fan of that series since day 1

Ah man, you guys at MF are pretty weird.
FIrst you disapoint us 5inch collectors by canceling the line.... mega-negative !
Then you realized it what indeed a mistake and come back at least with a few exclusive new figures... super positive !!
At TF2017 you even you surpised us with an upcoming Negan/Glenn... out-of-this-universe positive !!!!!!
and then...
you come up with something like that ???

very, very disapointed !!!
Please explain me, what exactly is her BRAND NEW ? Where in SEASON 7 did you see them dressed like this ? Old figures with little blood splatter ?? Nope, the perfect wrong way
At least one of them should have been realy new, like Michonne really dressed in S7, or Daryl dressed as Negans prisoner

 

[Dyson]

I'm never opposed to figures getting rereleased. Its a great way to bring new people into the fold. A good way for people who didn't want Daryl's bike too.

 

[Real Scooby]

Although I am not excited about that hero-pack, I just wondered if there would be a walker-packor a villian pack too ?
will be straight repacks too, I guess :/

 

[joossa]

Went to my local Walgreens today. I'm in SoCal. Found 2 each of Constable Rick, Aaron, and the WG Exclusive Tyreese.

Support the 5in line!

 

[SimbaUK2015]

@spawnshop really excited about all the TV series figures that are coming out this year and so pleased that the 5" line is continuing in this way. The figures look such good quality. Just wondering if we will be getting more comic series releases this year also as was starting to get into collecting this line also.

 

[kassle]

I can't wait for Sasha to hit now. Any word on an ETA, @spawnshop ?

 

[Real Scooby]

@spawnshop

Just saw the season7 finale, and here I come with some 5" ideas you should throw up at your next McF meetings

Ezekiel w/ Shiva deluxe set
Sasha walker w/ trunk
Maggie & Jesus
Dwight & Simon
Jadis & Spike walker
and we definatly need a walker multpack, either with 3 random generic walkers or prominent ones like Teddy Girl, Sophia, Metal Head, Church Lady...

 

[Dyson]

Must haves at this point for me are

Rosita
Ezekiel w/ Shiva deluxe set
Jesus
Dwight

 

[SimbaUK2015]

@Real Scooby yep I was thinking the same thing as you bout Sasha. Except I wonder if her figure could come with an alternate walker head now! Definitely need an Ezekiel and Shiva set!

 

[SimbaUK2015]

@spawnshop, any info you can give us on future Walking Dead releases this year, aside from the already revealed (triple Negan, Dwight, Sasha etc)

Nope, sorry. My contract won't allow me
I can say that we have some great stuff in all forms and sizes coming up.
