McFarlane excited the toy world with their return to the realm of action figure horror they helped spark in the first place. The real worry for the super toy nerds (like myself) was that they would be in a 5 inch format; the scale they have seem to taken a shine to with their HALO figure line. Happily, the lines will be in a 6 inch scale. Sadly, the rest of the zombie action figure world has been in a 7 inch scale (ironically to match McFarlane's Movie Maniacs line), so they'll look a little short. Oh well. You can't deny the level of detail and speaking of which... to pack a little more playability into this line AND remind people who started this plastic gore parade, McFarlane have added their own special effects! Read on!

Officer Rick Grimes - Inspired by the cover of The Walking Dead comic book issue #1, this figure features Rick in his police officer uniform, complete with cowboy hat and jacket. Figure comes with pistol and a police duffel bag with several removable shotguns. Features approximately 20 points of articulation.
Michonne - Inspired by the cover of The Walking Dead comic book issue #19, this figure features Michonne as she appeared on that first fateful day, with the accessories from her unforgettable act of vengeance to come. Figure comes with her signature katana sword and various implements of revenge including a power drill, hammer, pliers, and spoon. Features approximately 22 points of articulation.
Zombie Lurker - Pull its torso up, and it splits apart at the waist, exposing its intestines and other internal organs, transforming it into a legless "crawler." The figure also features removable arm segments and a head that splits at the jaw line, all exposing layers of decaying muscle, bones, and blood.
Zombie Roamer - Press the button on the Zombie Roamer's back, and its head splits open vertically, unleashing an explosive, disgusting mess of blood and brain fragments. Push the knife-shaped lever back down, close the head, and reset the figure for another sickening head burst. Figure also features removable arm segments that expose the jagged bones and torn muscle that lie beneath.
Previews will also be selling a Black and White zombie 2 pack, so look for that at your local comic geetatorium or pre-order from any awesome etailer.
The TV Series 1: November 2011




I'm sure NECA was chomping at the bit (slight zombie pun totally intended) to get their hands on the Walking Dead license as well, so we'll see some insanely sculpted mini busts from these masters of horror and pop culture.
Deer Eating Zombie Mini Bust (SDCC Exclusive) - (lead in picture) Neca have created this 6.5-inch min bust of the zombie seen munching on a deer's carcass. Made especially for the 2011 San Diego Comic Con, this particular zombie was a little too close to the survivors camp for their liking.


Tank Zombie Mini Bust - This 6.5-inch tall mini bust features the eerie zombie that had an eye on officer Rick Grimes as he scrambled for the safety of a tank in downtown Atlanta.
Bicycle Zombie Mini Bust - One of the more shocking zombies to appear in The Walking Dead, the Bicycle Girl Zombie was missing her legs, which is probably fitting that she is now made into this 6.5-inch mini bust.
The bust line will retail for $30; a price that deserves a round of applause! Big thanks to NECA for not raping the public. Here's hoping they sell a billion of these little rotting suckers. Show them your thanks by buying up their SDCC exclusive this year!
