I absolutely love Kim Dickens, but who is the audience for this figure? I can't imagine any of the FTWD characters are popular enough to warrant a line.

I have to wonder about the financial status of McFarlane toys as of late, because the have completely phoned it in as of late. The Halo line is whimpering on it's way towards Mattel, the TWD line is switching scales and losing their articulation, and even their sports figures have been on the cheap as of late, with them subbing original sculpts for repaints.

One top of the fact that these are in a completely different scale than previous TWD figures and nearly all of the articulation has been removed.

Agreed and as someone who is missing very few of the 5" line this new scale makes no sense. Glad I collect "Action" figures and not articulated statues. I will pass on everything under the "Red Line" brand, I just don't understand why they would can the original scale when they were finally getting the level of detail right and had changed the articulation for the better....so frustrating, but one less thing to have to track down.

McFarlane doesn't really sell anywhere. Their figures are choking pegs everywhere I go. Meanwhile, NECA stuff flies off the pegs and is consistently re-stocked.

McFarlane used to be the top dog of American adult collectibles at an affordable price range but now they just come off like a shadow of their old self.
Personally, I think McFarlane's days are numbered. After all, Walking Dead is a popular TV franchise, but it's not the type of property to sustain a toy company. In addition to lowered paint/build quality on their figures overall, they lost Halo, no one buys their sports stuff, there's zero interest in their building block sets. They have nothing, sadly. |
