McFarlane The Walking Dead 5-Inch Daryl Dixon with Motorcycle

Holy shitbuckets!!!. I didn't know they were ENDING the 5" line.... dammit!!

Yeah, announced during Toy Fair. Huge blow up on the McFarlane Facebook page. Only the comic figures will continue at 5" scale.

Then that's even crazier that 7 figures are lined up and i haven't seen a zombie....there should be like 1 or 2 in the first wave or at LEAST one per wave...and some feature that could make them like generic zombies to "army build"

and I don't particularly see the two from FTWD as all that interesting...

The problem is, Walking Dead is no longer a dedicated line. Being lumped into the Color Tops Collection. It's kind of like their old Movie Maniacs approach: Lots of different licenses lumped together in 1 packaging style and a uniform scale. I personally don't expect many, if any, walkers in that scale.

While this is exactly what I was hoping for, Daryl in his leather jacket on his latest bike, I hope the face sculpt looks better up close...

Yes I fully agree! The face sculpt looked more hispanic to me. I prefer the bandana head sculpt. That said, I'm excited for this figure. Awesome motorcycle!

i don't know what to think about that yet..smh..i REALLY liked the 5inch line. In fact i just bought the comic series Rick exclusive from Skybound. i'm at 65 figures. and what is the Wallking Dead line...without Actual WALKING DEAD.....
i guess we'll see.

But don't you remember Rick's most forced and cheesiest line of dialogue ever?! "We ARE the walking dead."

That was just... well it was really bad.

I want that bike for my other figures.

In the comics, at the time, it had a bit of a harder impact. The issue was a game changer. Looking back, the panel and over emphasis is a bit silly for sure, but my eyes popped at the time. But the show fumbled that whole bit and it was pretty cringe-worthy.

yeah man...in the comics there were some LITERALLY jaw dropping, eyes wide openn, involuntary curse coming out of your mouth moments....
Some of those weren't necessarily conveyed properly via the little screen...

I think part of it comes down to the comics being uncensored so when they want to get dark they can get as dark as necessary to convey the savagery and the brutality from both zombies and (more importantly) people. I can see no way the on-screen head batting will be nearly as repulsive/shocking as what went down in the comics, especially since they already took some of the wind out of those sails with a freaking cliffhanger.

Interestingly enough..since you touched on this point..i actually find a good portion of the violence in WD (television) to be gratuitous.
GIVEN ..i understand what it is..and i guess it has to be done to appease some of the fan base..but a lot of it to me is just..meh.

According to a few people on McFarlane's facebook page, Walmart's are getting them for $29.97. So $5 off the MSRP.
