I'm okay with Rosita being bumped (for now, since she's still alive on the show), if it means we can get Beth in there.

And thanks for the push, Spawnshop! Will definitely speak up about Beth (and Flashback folks) on your FB!

Spawnshop do you think that series 7 will be delayed like series 6? and also is the flashhback Rick and Hershel figure coming out right when they come out? Also thanks to you and everyone else who works on this set of figures, but you more so because theres no way you guys would have made a Dale if it wasn't for you talking and listening to the fans and relaying our requests to your bosses.

"Is Rosita planned at all?
Are you pushing for her?
I'm dying for one, haha."


Not at the moment.
Yes, definitely want to put her in the line-up at some point. I'm hoping for series 9

spawnshop, you are my hero! Anyway, in my TWD action figure group on FB, a lot of members have been asking about the Rick & Hershel Flashbacks (Series 6.5 I would assume??). Anyway, will they be shipping with Series 7 or on their own? And will they be exclusive to any particular retailers? Thanks for any information you can provide! I get bombarded with these questions daily now as they seem to be the most anticipated figures coming out... and I never have a sure answer!

 

[spawnshop]

As far as I know, series 7 is on schedule. We had some quality issues with series 6 (and still did with paint....), I've already seen S7 in package, and they look very nice.
Thanks guys. I'm pushing for a flashback T-Dog next

I hope this means a comic book Dale too, and maybe a throwback figure in the coming comic waves, I presume that there are going to be a lot of new characters coming up in the comic and they're more likely to see figures now, so getting even one of the older characters per wave would be cool.

Thanks!

Spawnshop - is the new s2 Rick a repaint of the s6 headsculpt? Also, any love for NBC's Hannibal? The murder scenes would make great dioramas like the Tortured Souls you guys made back in the day.

 

[spawnshop]

Yep, it's a repaint of S6 Rick, but with new weapons.
Sure, I love Hannibal.....there just isn't a market in toys for that sort of gore anymore though....especially since our main distributors are Walmart, Target and TRU

 

[Cobster]

@Johnny Utah , yeah I had quite a few of the tortured souls back in the day .

Quality figures

 

[Johnny Utah]

Still have the first series, pioneering work. I wonder of McF have any interest in the new Terminator film? Surely someone is making figures for it.

Spawn... I love the background image on the poll! Could we see the full pic?

 

[spawnshop]

I think that's the cardback images for S7, similar to S6. Not sure if a full image was released. I'll ask.

 

[Spoofaloo]

Okay, thanks heaps

Hey spawnshop do you know how many characters from the fan vote will make it to series 9

 

[kassle]

Without adding too many questions to the pile: I'm also curious - how long will the poll go for?

 

[Themadpatter]

Does a lack of Eugene confirm him for series 8?
