I don't think it's a stupid question.
Even series 3 being the best one so far (didn't get some good definition pics on series 4 yet), and the sculpt and articulation on them are greatly improved over the previous series, Merle and Michonne wouldn't be able to sit on a chopper properly.
So, I would like to know the answer for that question too.

I know it's a stupid question but will he be able to sit on his motorcycle?

Yes, I'm making sure of that - much more useful hip articulation in this one

I was just looking at older posts to see if I could find who was the first here to come with the Daryl bike idea, it was zombieshane, but even more surprising was that sentence that he said when we were trying to guess the members on Tv Series 5:

I think Glenn, Maggie, Tyreese and 2 walkers

Come on, dude, you got a crystal ball or what?

Series 4 is starting to hit Walgreens!

After two weeks of obsessively searching every Walgreens within a 10 mile radius, I hit the jackpot today finding all of series 4! Here's how it went down: I started seeing reports that cases of series 4 are popping up at Walgreens, and decided to call up a few of them. First was a dud, no surprise. The second one, however, made me jump up and down. 12 units in stock! The employee even offered to hold the entire case for me (best employee ever). I strolled (actually, fast-walked) into Walgreens to receive a cool display case filled with all of Series 4! He even let me keep the case. Thought I'd share my little story.

On to the details!

Case breakdown (12 total):

Carl x3
The Governor x3
Andrea x2
Exclusive Rick x2
Riot Gear Zombie x1
Gas Mask Zombie x1

These figures are awesome! Especially the Riot Gear zombies, they are my favorite of the bunch. The human figures are great, but the paint apps are very unpredictable (one of the Governors I saw was missing a lot of hair, the eyes on my Andrea are a little off, ect.). They also come with a lot of cool accessories, but unfortunately their hands aren't well designed to hold them well (especially the guns). Overall I am really happy with them, and they look great on my shelf with the other figures.

I had a lot of fun posing them, see pics below!

Nothing yet at a few of my local Walgreens

What are the chances of us getting this version of Merle?

Low, i'd imagine, since we've done 3 Merles already. But you never know...

 

[zombieshane]

Bummer

Can we expect future figures to include the same updated articulation (even as early as series 5)?

Only Daryl in Series 5 will have this new articulation, since he was required to fit onto the bike. Yes, if we like how it turns out in production, then we may incorporate it into future figures, starting with series 6.

 

[ufnovaes]

Well, speaking of series 6, any tips of the line-up?

Nope, we haven't decided yet. Up in the air now

New Rick figure please

 

[ufnovaes]

Yes, please!
A new Shane would awesome too.
But I think it's a long shot since Jon Bernthal is not in the show anymore.

If Daryl and his Chopper sell well enough would you guys consider doing more vehicles?

Probably, but what else could we do? (except the RV - which would be way too expensive to produce).

The black Dodge Charger Daryl was using in the Season 4 trailer, the blue truck (with walker blood from the Season 2 finale), Rick's cop car, the Hyundai Tucson

Rick on a Horse?

Rick with the Tank? or even better Govenor with a Tank?

Or either of these fine ideas
