Spawn, can't see the images as there blocked.

Spawn, did you guys update Daryl's face in the new two pack? From the pictures I've seen it looks a lot better than the original one.

Same sculpt as the original, but we've updated the paint applications to look more like the prototype. The factory did a horrible job on his paint the first go around, so we've adjusted that.

What happened to the exclusive Rick figure?

It's still coming -

Just took the plunge and finally ordered my first WD figure - with all these lackluster steelbooks coming out lately, I have found myself with a little extra in funds to play around with...

Well whoever painted it did an amazing job because I personally think it looks night and day better. I'm glad I held out on paying the outrageous price on the original now. I've already got in a preorder for the new 2 pack.

Are there any in package shots of series 4 yet?

No, not yet. We've just recived our packaged samples about a week or so ago, and we are still going through the QC on them before we do any photography. The samples look good though....especially the 2-pack!

is that zombie meryl. when i was at a wizard con I asked michael rooker if he would like to see a zombie merle, some guy from the crowd said there was one but I was not sure.

Daryl is looking nice too

I think I missed the display at SDCC so much going on

Yes, we're doing a Zombie Merle....I'm not too thrilled with it though. It's basically a repaint of the first one, but with new prison shiv and left hand with 2 missing fingers (due to governor). I just wish we would have changed more on him.

He is cool....i'm just a stickler for details.

Oh, I really liked the line-up for series 5, Meg and Glenn are a must have and I'm pretty sure next season of the show will make the same happen to Tyreese. Still missing a new Daryl or Rick, but I'm a pacient dude. Great work on series 4, by the way.

Erm... what's the release date on these??

One more thing, on Tyreese description it says: "silenced pistol that fans will instantly recognize", is it what I think it is? The one thing that was missing from series 4? It would be just awesome!

So many questions.

Thanks for the kudos!
I believe series 5 will release in October 2014. Series 4 is due in February/March 2014.

Yes, this is exactly what you think it is! AMC didn't want to package it with a minor, but we wanted to make sure the fans could get one.
