High End "The Walking Dead" collectibles?

[Khev]

Is there any precedent for high end 1/6 scale figures or premium formats to be made for a television show like this?

 

[King Darkness]

No.

Medicom's Lost figure, Sideshow' X-Files range...I heard McFarlane had the licence and did some digging, but all the high up people didn't reply. I'd kill for some stuff from the comic or show.

 

[Khev]

Yeah I could see McFarlane Toys or NECA making some figures for this. I'd kill for a Hot Toys 1/6 scale Rick Grimes on horse!

 

[Johnny Utah]

I'd kill for someone to come out and say they have the licence and put me out of my misery.

That would be cool, could use some more Dead figures

My son would want action figures of the characters based off the show (not the funny book), but no interest in shoveling out major cash for a minor series. We already have Sideshow's "the dead" which fills zombie lust in 1/6 and pf, and busts.

I'd like to own a 1/6 scale Rick Grimes in police uniform.

I hate these kinds of threads...build hope for nothing.

clayburn moore did a dio & a couple mini busts about 3 or 4 years back, they aren't expensive to get

 

[Johnny Utah]

Never into busts or statues...just gimme some good figures.

I'd be willing to buy some figures from this show. Humans and Zombies a like.

I wouldnt be too sure about that. People who own companies look these message boards over with a fine toothed comb. Its free marketing research for them. Just wait and see.....this is how many products go from a "man I wish they would make that" stage into holding the item in your hands complaining about how much you paid for it,lol.

don't give Sideshow any ideas. they can't even keep up with the GI Joe line.

After reading the books i've wanted to make some random "surviver's". Just a bunch of random custom characters to display with sideshows the dead figures. But some actual 1/6 walking dead figures would be cool. Preferably from the books though, but i guess thats even less likely than ones from the show.

for calling a Graphic Novel a "funny book".

 

[Calcifer]

A Rick grimes figure..would look kind of like a "Good" T1000

 

[Balsquat]

Just buy something from the dead. That's what I use to represent the series.

 

[Moe Szyslak]

Yeah... Just bring back the 12" Dead, no licensee fees.

I love the show, but wouldn't any main characters, just Zombies.

I know there are a few independent garage kit companies that are working on some busts right now.

I believe Rick is first in the series. If any of you would like I can post a pic.
