Im sure they will as the show is popular. They were sold out when they were first released at my local TRU but I havent been back to see if they are pegwarming or not.
A LCS by me had a few four pack sets and those are all gone as well.
Do you have any other input since you made the thread?

The comic is popular and so is the show. They were sold out for awhile so I think they will sell. Im not a huge fan of the scale but I will get some. Oddly I mostly want the humans.

I think you hit the nail on the head. How many Rick Grimes or Michonne can you have, but on the other hand how many zombies? Countless!

They were really pegwarming at my TRU so I just figured that there was no intrest in the line and I wanted to see other people's thoughts on it. I just hope it doesn't end up like lost ,that didn't even last 3 waves

I don't think they will sell.

Most fans of the show are thieves IMO, so people will likely steal them.

I'm no fan of the show, but if they were in scale with my other 3.75" figures I would buy the shit out of them. The Zombie ones I mean.

One thing that keeps many away is price of the figures. Besides that I figure only die hard fans will end up picking them. With that in mind, sides will probably be chosen as some might just get comic versions, TV versions, or possibly both. Whatever the case, they'll eventually sell like any other McFarlane figure or clearance out.

I have no interest in the comic versions of the figures, however I know my brother would. I really enjoy the characters in the TV show so when ever I see a Rick Grimes and Shane TV series figures, THEY MINE.

I'm sorry, but, what? That's like saying people who wear hats mostly have mustaches. Please keep your blanket statements to yourself as that is insulting to a lot of members of this forum.
