Rick with a horse would be great.
But I think it would create a lot of articulation problems in order to sit him properly on the horse.

 

[ufnovaes]

Well, since series 6 is open right now, here goes my sugestions:
Rick Grimes with this outfit (season 3):

Hershel Greene in his season 4 style:

And a combo Shane Walsh with zombified head:

Spoiler

Zombified Leon Basset

And the zombie girl with teddy bear

Series 6 could use a new rick probably S4 and carol or beth ? Hershel would be good and 2 walkers then maybe a deluxe martinez with that mini truck Him shumpert and the gov left in ?

the first 2 in some capacity would make great 1/4 scale statues.

 

[zombieshane]

New Rick figure please

And maybe a new version of the walker from Atlanta

 

[zombieshane]

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

I know it's way to soon but are you guys interested in making figures for the spin off show so far?

 

[TWD Daryl Dixon]

For cars You could do a new Shane with the hyundai Shotgun and pistol i would use his 18 miles out clothing. Martinez with mini truck baseball bat and mp5 smg think thats the gun he has. Michonne with Blaze the horse I think a new shane figure would be great i was not really in to the stuck in one pose open shirt thing and the hyundai would be really good to have next to Daryls bike.

You could make the Hyundai Tucson with Shane from Better Angels and then reuse that mold in a later wave for a Zombie Shane figure

Guys we aren't going to get another Shane. From what I've seen the original Shane is one of the few figures that didn't sell that well from the Walking Dead tv show. He's been out of the series for going on 2 seasons now too so there's really no reason to make a new one.

 

[ufnovaes]

I, personally, don't think a new Shane figure will be received as the last one.
I'm not a huge fan of the pre-posed action figures and for that reason, even being a big fan of the Walking Dead, didn't purchased the first or second series, but since McFarlane upgraded its line, it's now one of my favorite of all.
And I think the line improved so much, in paint app, sculpture and likeness, as well as, articulation, that's mandatory that some characters, like Shane himself, get a chance to make a come back.

 

[TWD Daryl Dixon]

Will the series 5 Daryl figure have a removable vest like andrea ?

Will the series 5 Daryl figure have a removable vest like andrea ?

The vest is a separate soft piece since we've added a torso articulation to help pose him on the bike. Whether or not it will be "removable" is still TBD. Most likely not fully removable as most would like, since he doesn't really take it off in the show too much. It's really a signature part of him.
With Andrea, I wanted to make sure her vest was removable and that she was fully detailed underneath since most of the beginning in Season 3, hanging out with the Gov (when we were developing the figure sculpt), she really didn't wear it.

Finally got my 2 pack in the mail. They both look amazing. Daryl looks a lot better than the original so I'm glad I'm waited for the 2 pack. My wishlist for upcoming releases would be


Herschel
Lori (I really think we need her to make the set complete since she's such an important part of the story)
Abraham Ford

If I can get those three plus what's already released I'd consider my collection complete.

 

[ufnovaes]

Yeah, I would like a Lori either.

 

[zombieshane]

Lori? What have you guys been smoking?!

 

[ufnovaes]

I know, dude, she's not a woman I would like to have by my side when the zombie apocalypse starts, but she's a big part of the show. Like Shane is.

 

[ufnovaes]

Is there a date we can expect to see the actual figures of series 5?
At some event or anything?

 

[chriswalsh]

Got the series 4 figures today, really cool, I'm running out of space for these things, no idea where Darl and the bike are gonna go! The riot zombies are the best figures so far- great job My Govenor doesn't have the best paint job but the extra head looks cool, think Carl and Andrea look great Does look like one of Carls hands is broken but since I've kept them in the packs so far not too bothered. Can't wait to get Glen and Maggie.
