@spawnshop just seen some photos of TWD display at San Deigo off figures.com. The Series 8 look absolutely fantastic, gotta say the Morgan/Walker boxed set looks amazing. Rick and Stookey are my favourites out of the prototypes so far. The Morgan looks amazing too. Wish I lived in USA so I could go to San Deigo! Keep up the good work cos you guys are doing AMAZING. Oh and the Game of Thrones display is just out of this world!! My two favourite TV shows having collectables made by my favourite toy company!!. I am so gonna be out of pocket lol
P.S looking forward to Series 9 line up too.
From your earnest fan in the UK!

Any word on the lineup for S9 from SDCC? I'm surprised at the lack of news...

Love series 8! Rick is definitely the best out of all of them and the Morgan is pretty freaking cool too!
@spawnshop is this our series 9 figures?
T Dog
Disemboweled Dale
Constable Michonne
Beth
Water Walker
If so, finally we get T Dog! sad we still don't have a new Shane, but I can wait!

Heard those along with a new Daryl figure with sleeves, new pants and the new motorcycle that Aaron gave to him for scouting missions.

@ImDrunk @shanerd where are y'all hearing this, if you don't mind????
If this is the line up it's bitter sweet. Beth is great news, my most wanted character ever!!!! Let's just pray they don't make her in hospital scrubs!!! (I'm still sore about riot gear Eugene). T-Dog is good news too we only need Shane, Lori, and Noah now. But another Michonne and not a single new living person is really sad. Sasha, Tara, Rosita, Gabriel... Well, at least if Beth is true I'm a happy camper!!

Tbh I'm just really happy with the S8 prototypes on display and the awesome GoT sets. S9 news will come in time

My Walking Dead Action Figures & Memorabilia facebook group I told you about. We always get inside info first As for Beth, this is what a member there who attended SDCC told us: "Beth will come with an alternate head with bullet hole. Which implies she will be in her final death clothing as well."

 

[SimbaUK2015]

@shanerd I was park of your group on my old FB account! Made a new one for security reasons, just reminded me to rejoin. I had completely forgotten

 

[ImDrunk]

@Coda I heard about it over at Rebelscums, also @shanerd thanks for the info on the other figures! A new Daryl with new bike? Cool but I would've rather get a new character. T-DOG! HELL YES! Beth, finally we can complete the Greene family, I'm also glad she comes with her final outfit. I don't care about the others, Disemboweled Dale doesn't spark my interest and seems like a useless figure I would've rather get a new Shane, Sasha or "Too Far Gone" Governor. I'm pretty happy with my series 7 Michonne, if the water walker is the church lady with glasses I'll definitely get her but it probably will be the one that grabbed Bob.
Are there any other news on series 9? some exclusives maybe?

 

[Coda]

Thanks @shanerd I joined your page, I guess I should of looked there first lol. I've been so frantic trying to find all my toy news. Well hopefully they'll shine some light on this soon.

Had a great time at SDCC and loved the McF booth. Share pics w a small group of friends over on my FB.

McF was my favorite booth...also - the Skybound Michonne is SO much better than I expected in person. Get her, guys!

 

[Coda]

@spawnshop hey! Hope you're enjoying your busy weekend! The work y'all have shown is amazing as always! So I just read from someone who said they talked to Todd himself that McFarlane will never make a Lori because she didn't have a big enough popularity (even tho the vote said dif) and didn't use enough guns. That sounds a little harsh. Please tell me this is not true. Pleaseeeee and thank you lol.

 

[Themadpatter]

Aaron is series 10 is great!!
All I need is Rosita Espinosa

 

[Darkhuman]

Wow from what I've seen at SDCC spawnshop took ALL my ideas upto the bigwigs and they loved em!! I wanted the asphalt Walker as the s5 box set, BAM! Figures with possible build a Walker, heard tod was talking about including that in the deluxe grave digger Daryl style boxes, which needs to have AT LEAST 3 figures in each wave. Daryl. New Rick, last michonne and short package her. Buy all 3 get an exclusive interview changeable Walker. I'm buying 2 of EACH of that happens. Love the character base.

 

[SimbaUK2015]

This sounds stupid but I'm sure you wouldn't @shanerd but I requested to rejoin your Facebook group yesterday but looks like the request was rejected so requested it again today and now I can't see the group at all. have I been blocked from accessing it? My account name is Matt Livings.

 

[shanerd]

@Coda I heard about it over at Rebelscums, also @shanerd thanks for the info on the other figures! A new Daryl with new bike? Cool but I would've rather get a new character.

Seems to be conflicting reports on Daryl with new bike. One member claims he was told about this at McFarlane's booth & the other is saying it's not in the works. But the other 5 figures seems to be complete fact.

 

[SimbaUK2015]

I've definitely been blocked from the group but haven't done anything wrong, just simply rejoined on my new account.

 

[shanerd]

Try rejoining again bro. My admins generally deny brand new accounts as we tend to watch out for potential spammer/scammer types. I will be sure to approve you myself. If you can't find it again, send me a direct message through here with your facebook name so I can make sure you're not on some restricted list.
