Pretty insane prices OC. :eek:

Just picked up the govenor and rick from ebay. My first twd figures.

Heck even on bigbadtoystore.com he's going for $280 @_@ mostly all of series 1 are going for high prices. I have series 4(?) complete on my Pile of Loot awaiting shipping. Also have the next series on Preorder and Daryl with his Chopper too can't wait to get my hands on the Riot Zombies.

I got a series 1 Rick as a gift when he was released, and I opened him, wish I hadn't as he's selling for silly money now! Saw Daryl in the comic shops so many times and passed every time, oh well you live and learn haha.
The riot zombies are really cool, you'll love 'em!

Series 4 Employee orders came in last week!
(Now I just have to find some Ricks.....)

 

[chriswalsh]

Cool, how rare is this exclulsive Rick? I assume we won't find any in the UK? Any chance of an exclusive Daryl- the new figure but without the bike, just packaged as standard, that would be awesome, I'd get the one with the bike too of course.

 

[ocielz]

I think I got the last Rick Exclusive from BBTS I placed my order and when I checked again on the figure it was Sold Out. He'll be my second Rick, first one is the B&W Comic version

The Exclusive Rick is only available at Walgreen Stores. Good idea on the Daryl too

I might pick one up on ebay then, the £40 is probably nothing to what I'd be paying this time next year. Yeah go for it with Daryl, he'll sell by the bucketload!

Spawn, Is there a trick to switching the governor heads? I've already snapped the joint on two figures just trying to pull the head off and put on the eye patch version

No real trick, but make sure to pull the head strait up off the torso, not back, forward or sideways....that's usually how the joints break. If the dumbbell sticks with the head, get a fork or something to pop it out. It's actually a bit easier if the dumbbell is in the head when popping it onto the body, but again, make sure to press down strait, not in any other direction.

If you need some neck fittings, i may be able to get you some. PM me.

Thanks for the offer on the neck fittings but I've just been returning them to the store after they broke lol On my newest one I figured I should wait and ask you before I tried the switch and pulling the head straight worked perfectly.Thanks a lot for the help and thanks for making these awesome figures

I'm currently preordering series 5 from Amazon. Can't wait for them to be added to my Walking Dead shelf.

 

[ocielz]

Here's my small TWD collection .......sorry for the bad Quality pics also Robocop wanted to be in the Pics too

 

[apsmith21]

Nice collection! Make sure to post in the zombies collection forum if you haven't already OC!

Hey Spawn, Ive been looking to find out what size peg hole the series 4 figures seem to use, and havent had any luck. Any suggestions for display stands? I found a site who sells stands but not sure what would fit. Thanks!

We made a new base for some of the WD figures, like the pet zombies and the upcoming charred zombie. But i think it's a standard base that we used to use, so our old bases should work - but not 100% sure.
What bases are you looking at?

This is really cool! http://www.thewalkingdead.com/exclusive-negan-action-figure-debuts-black-friday/

I might have to get the Black & White version of Negan. Also my order for the new Daryl is in my loot pile over at BBTS

[ocielz]

Black & White looks waaaaay better!!!

Hey Spawn,

No new pics of the new 5" Daryl yet, but soon. The release date is a little behind the series 5. (But he looks way better than the series 1 figure!)

As for the 10", yes, if it sells well, there are plans. At the moment, another one has shown up on my production schedule.....

Here's a pic of Daryl in package:
