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.
McFarlane stuff just doesn't sell in my area. My TRU gets the new stuff but then skips over a wave or two because the last stuff still hasn't sold. My Wal-Mart gets it too and pretty much does the same thing but they just dump the older stuff into clearance or send it to whoknowswhere but it clearly isn't selling very well. I think Walgreens actually does the best in my area but all they get are the Walking Dead figures from what I've seen. 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. I'm game for their Gears of War figures/statues if those turn out well but the switching of scales with TWD is annoying and I don't even get those.
