spawnshop, will we be seeing a new Rick soon with the jacket and heavy beard look? Also, which waves will be physically at Toyfair and which will be announced?

 

[spawnshop]

I think series 7 will be shown. we are still working on series 8, so they won't be shown, but maybe announced. I think Comic wave 4 might be shown too.

@spawnshop,
Candles.........a telephone. .........next Will be some TP???

 

[NoodleChow]

No, no one in particular. Actaully, AMC prefers that we make the walkers generic and not tied to any specific show or episode. (unless it's super unique like the tree walker or well walker).

I'd actually prefer more of these retooled zombies especially since I only pick up the ones that have a sizable amount of articulation like the comic and riot gear zombies. Also would be a great way to get some female zombies if something like the Andrea sculpt was given new zombie lower legs, head, and hands

First post! @spawnshop I gotta say YOU are the Rick Grimes of this forum. Leading us hopeful collectors with your always enlightening posts. I just finished reading all 58 pages. McF and TWD are my obsession. I've been praying for a Beth figure since day one! It's clear to see she is winning the vote. So my question is if/when her figure is made the most bitter sweet news could be that she will come in her scrubs. I really hope she does not, as it wouldn't be the best representation of her character nor would it fit well on the shelf. Soooooooooo if you had to guess what do you think would be McF's attire choice? Thanks!

Welcome Coda!

Spawnshop is the ****. Straight up. Loves the shows as much as we do. It's awesome.

And I'm right with you - getting Beth is a DREAM. I adored her on the show and bawled my baby blues out in the mid-season finale. I also echo that I hope for her in her duds from the second half of Season 4. Either the main tank top outfit or the polo shirt are fine by me. She really came into her own during those eps with Daryl while wearing those clothes.

@spawnshop Any chance of releasing a Telltale game series? Or a Comic Tyreese? Thank you!!

 

[spawnshop]

I agree guys. Beth in her main attire during season 4/5 would be best. Although, scrubs wouldn't be bad either because that was a very important story line for her. I'd be happy with either one. Let's just hope we actually make a Beth figure.

 

[shanerd]

spawnshop... what are you doing to us my wallet can't take anymore lol I personally think this figure looks incredibly badass!!

 

[kassle]

Awesome Shanerd! Very cool.

The poll...kinda broke my heart today with the one rabid Lori fan literally submitting a vote every 2 seconds until she jumped 20000 votes since this morning. *sigh*

And not that I don't want a Lori (as you know Shanerd!), but seeing such a massive cheat in action isn't the way to do it. I understand how the Tara, Rosita, T-Dog fans must've felt during the Sasha debacle a few days ago.

Wasn't that the entire point of the poll though? Why even make the poll if you're not going to give a figure to the winner.

She's not winning anymore. The Lori spammers have been out in full force today. She jumped up like 20%-25% this this morning. People are voting thousands of times. It sound ridiculous but these type of fandoms are just strange. They're just sitting there all day voting and I'm sure some have even set up bots to generate votes. It's unfortunate. This is what kind of ticked me off about Sasha on day one because it was so obvious.

 

[Coda]

@shanerd @kassle Thanks for the welcome guys!! I'll def go check out that Facebook page now.

@spawnshop thanks for the reply!
Do we know when voting ends?

Sad to see Lori take such a strong jump. (Even tho I'd love her fig) It seems Beth is picking her lead back up tho. Just goes to show we really can't be sure the outcome! Hell, tomorrow Noah cud be in the lead :/..... Nah lol

 

[shanerd]

Yep Lori's reign on top was short lived. The Beth shenanigans are in full-effect! She's getting 200+ votes a minute!

Thanks man - that one was a no brainer!

Probably not on a Telltale games series.....the comic line itself isn't a strong seller. But yes, there's a chance on the comic Tyreese. What would be your guys next comic line if you had a pick?

But can we have any hope on Lee?
My next comic line would be: Tyreese, Michonne v2, Dale and Shane!

 

[ccs]

Hmmmm picking a new comic wave is pretty hard.

1. Tyreese - He's always been my favorite comic character.

2. Glenn - This time wearing the hat and having hair. Early comics style.

3. Shane - I know he was only in like 3 issues but I still want him lol.

4. Whisperer - i think there's a lot of possibilities for a cool figure there.

5. Douglas Monroe, Eugene, or a current Negan

 

[kassle]

Comic line for me

Maggie
Tyreese
Eugene
Female Whisperer (that's being interrogated)


Solid alternates would be:
Dale
Rosita
Shane
Holly (w/ alternate zombie/bag head)
