Just awesome!
All of them!
The Govenor face's looks way better than the one presented on SDCC.
But, let me ask you somethings:
What's the deal on that Rick figure on the back? New? Repaint? Series 1? Series 2?
There's kind of a splash of blood on Carl's face? Or is it just the light on the pic?

Just looking the pictures on http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=4759 they really look fantastic!
I have to buy'em all!!!

I'm glad you like them

I just noticed him there.... I believe he's unannounced as of now

There's kind of a splash of blood on Carl's face? Or is it just the light on the pic?

Lighting or dirt I think. There's no blood on Carl, just dirt. AMC is very protective of this figure due to the age of the character. Which is why you have to buy the Tyreese when it comes out next series

 

[zombieshane]

Now all we need is a new Rick and Daryl

Series 4 looks amazing. I'll probably end up picking up Carl, Andrea, and Governor.


Series 5 looks amazing as well but I'm thinking that Tyrese is the only definite buy for me. Maggie and Glenn look great but I'm not sure if I like their characters enough to add them to the collection. That zombie who looks like he was on fire looks fantastic too. Probably my favorite zombie that has been done so far.

Sorry, no hints

Or is it Daryl on his motorcycle?

 

[zombieshane]

What if you guys did 3 waves a year, one wave in March, another in June/July and then the third one in October?

 

[ufnovaes]

Or is it Daryl on his motorcycle?

zombieshane, that was exactly my guess!
How badass it would be?

But now I think it's the hidden Rick figure on the first series 4 pic spawnshop posted.

I really hope so, i'm in need of a new Daryl and his bike would be so sick!

There technically has been 3 waves this year.

Merle/Michonne spring wave

Glenn/Governor comic book wave in the summer

Carl/Andrea wave this fall

I'd love to do more lines per year for the TV, but it's just not in the cards. A June/July has nothing to support it for the stores. October obviously is the premier of the show, and March is the return from winter break. This is why we put the comic series out in between. Plus we got the new 10" figure coming out in November, which will hopefully become a full series.

But WD is huge, and the stores are finally realizing that, so there may be more stuff on the horizon

Ahh gotcha, speaking of 10 inch figures i absolutely love the premium, classic McFarlane feel and i would love to see a Merle, Zombie Merle, Season 3 or 4 version of Rick, Shane and Zombie Shane!
