McFarlane Toys: The Walking Dead

[Buttmunch]

Toys r us and comic shops are it I think

I must always be last when going into TRU then cause I never see them. not sure if there are any decent comic shops around me here that would have them.

 

[kfog41]

No, the big heads are in scale with the 5 inch line and the bodies are part of the construction sets (about 2")

So, where are they available Buttmunch? Thanks!

 

[Buttmunch]

Other than the loot crate exclusives, they are not out yet. Probably same places as the current items though.

[Buttmunch]

Thanks Mike!

 

[devilsayi]

those went up sooner than i had expected.

How often does Skybound have discount coupons? I have been waiting to get Alpha and now this.

 

[Buttmunch]

Not very often. SDCC and Black Friday?

I am far behind at reading the comics. Even pre Negan. I know that Rick is getting the "Merle-hand". But this figure really shows how much Rick has been beaten up. Whats wrong with his leg? Is it just a tempoary injury? I really have to buy the next comic asap. Not sure if I prefer the direction of the comics to the TV show, but they are a fantastic read and a great source material.

Spoiler:

His leg gets broken and doesn't get set properly so as of now its permanent. He's in pretty bad shape these days

 

[andrewm]

why do they keep giving him the revolver? we know damn well he never had it in the comics.

 

[Buttmunch]

Gotta be the show's influence.

Gotta be the show's influence.

Which is a bit ridiculous really, because purity aside, I don't think giving him a regular pistol would be any more confusing to TV fans than the buzz cut, thick beard, missing arm and cane.

I mean to be fair, the revolver is pretty badass.

Thanks for not going too deep into the story but yet giving me a lttle input. Well done! Now I need to read on.

Spoiler:

judging from what RK said lately it almost sound like he will kill him sooner or later before TWD ends...

Will definitly rush to store after work today...

I really wonder how a one handed guy can reload that thing though...

 

[Buttmunch]

Got my new old man Rick today. He turned out really well. Still not sure on these new peg hands they've gone with on Beth, Alpha, and now Rick. It helps him keep his cane balanced in a walking position but I think I would have preferred a tighter grip and more flexible plastic to hold the weapons. He's pretty much stuck with that revolver without getting rid of the peg in his palm. But I prefer him in gimpy, old man walking mode anyway. We've got a decent new beginning line up now with Samurai Jesus, Alpha, Rick, and shortly Lydia, Negan, and the heads. Probably one for SDCC too.

Rick needs alternate prosthetic accessories like Trap Jaw

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, I'm hoping Rick gets a Merle-like battle hand eventually for when they fight. I'm sure this prosthetic is great for normal day-to-day tasks, but you got to admit Lil' Merle was a great fighting tool.
