[TWD Daryl Dixon]

Maybe use could do a two pack with TV series Glenn Rhee and Maggie Greene in riot gear like use did with the comic governor at some point ?

 

[spawnshop]

Yeah, thanks for a crazy fast response spawnshop.

Can you tell me if TV series 5 is going to have an exclusive figure like the Walgreens Rick?
...and if so who is it??

I'd like to see a new
comic rick in jeans and white shirt w/alt handless arm & alt bandaged arm
Bloody rick (not b&w)
Comic Carl w alt head(s) -bandaged & exposed skull
Comic Andrea w sniper rifle. (The 2 scar face)
Comic Abraham w M16
Comic prison garb Lori w/baby Judith

Thanks. these are some more good ideas.
sorry, don't know about series 5 exclusives.

Hi all. Long time lurker. Had to join to ask spawnshop some questions.

Spawnshop>.
I also heard a rumor about a series 1 rick with a series 2 head (opposite of the Walgreens fig). Any truth to that?
Thanks!

You mean this one?

 

[TWD Daryl Dixon]

i dont know if its possible but use could do a exclusive of that 10-Inch Daryl Dixon as a 5 inch ?

I think this will be the one that will come with the chopper, no?

Yes the 10in figure but he's saying if they could use the 10in figure and redo it as the same size as the smaller figures. Same sculpt different size

Future figures I'd like to see in the TV line;

Rick (season 3/4) - with revolver, assault rifle and interchangeable bandaged right hand
Governor (brown leather jacket look from S4 midseason finale, "Too Far Gone") - with pistol, Michonne's katana and H******l's decapitated head
Carol - with pistol, knife and gasoline canister

The season 1 Rick with horse set is a great idea, I'd defiantly buy that.

Also, the 10 inch Daryl figure is fantastic. The paint application is so clean & crisp. Looks just like Norman Reedus. Looking forward to future figures in this scale.

The 10-inch daryl dixon has the denim jacket with leather arms and poncho so its kinda of a new look ?

 

[Jb162009]

Do anyone know if there is a UK stockist of these or is it just US? I'd love to get a few over a couple of months and a UK stockist would make it a lot easier.

Daryl figure looks great and would defiantly be a must own with a rick figure.

The Daryl with Chopper has just his sleeveless shirt and vest. The 10-Inch Daryl as his riding bike jacket on (leather sleeves) plus the vest (plus he has the poncho.)
I want to do the 5" Daryl with bike jacket, but it's not on any current line-up yet. But I'm sure we'll do it as an exclusive somewhere down the road.

As of now, i believe we only supply to US stores. But a lot of retailers do ship overseas.

I've used Mother's Basement a few times, http://mothersbasement.co.uk/categories/walking-dead.html/ they've been great, but I prefer to see the figures and pick the ones with the best paint jobs, Forbidden Planet do them if you've got one nearby.

Thats pretty good if use can downsize the figures like if you made characters in the 10-inch line of figures but never got to make them in the 5 inch line you could downsize them to 5-inchs and make them series exclusive By the way a morgan figure would be pretty cool from the episode clear.

Oh a really good figure to make would be rick grimes with revolver assault rifle machete interchangeable Bandaged hand and alt bashed head from season 4

Just got my Negan figure in the mail and it's absolutely my favorite figure from this line. It would be a crime not to release it at retail.

 

[ocielz]

My Negan and Governor exclusive were shipped yesterday, hopefully I'll get them this week

The prison assault one, right? That's a great figure, probably my favorite of the two comic Governor figures they've done. The packaging on both exclusives kick ass.

 

[ocielz]

That's the one 2 Baddies in one order, we need more Hero exclusives

 

[Darkhuman]

Can I just say how happy I am that they changed the packaging for Negan back to the way it was!
The Governor's card hung backwards, & the blister was taped. Mine has a hard time staying stuck.

 

[spawnshop]

lookey what I got!

 

[ocielz]

Black & White Negan all the way!!!!

 

[ufnovaes]

Just want to share this one amazing thing I stumbled on. Don't know if it's the real picture, but if the box set actually looks anything like this McFarlane toy's really did a tremendous good work.

Looks like Tv Series 5 got some new pics too \o/:
