The word is that the comic 5" line is staying because Kirkman wanted it to. Which shows his power. The latest McFarlane excuses for killing the 5" TV line say that they other franchises he has (like Spawn) were not enough to support themselves as individual lines, so he combined them into his 'red box' line so people will buy more than just walking dead figures. We've also heard from inside McFarlane toys that the vast out cry against this decision is starting to hit home and causing some concern in house.
