Sweet!

Mmmmm....brains!!! :p

Awesome, love McFarlane, even though a sick part of me wants to see everything in 3 3/4 scale...

Nice find. This is pretty awesome news.

I reported this back in Dec at the walking dead fan site, I am glad to see its true.

Thanks, Joe. Yeah, I'm pretty psyched for this!

I'm personally not a big fan of McFarlane's stuff (though their Halo toys are really nice). But if they look really good, I'll at least pick a few of them up. Especially the Rik Grimes and a couple of Walkers.

This is awesome, but I would personally have preferred 3 3/4-inch myself.

I enjoyed the comic books and the TV series but all the stuff I collect is at a smaller scale so the line doesn't do me much good. Not a lot of 4" zombie figures out there so it would have been nice if it had been a company that does smaller scale with nice articulation.

These might be worth taking a look at...

Yeah definitly a Joe scale line would have grabbed my attention more
