"Hello everyone,and welcome to the first installment of Scares Coming Your Way! In this blog we will review upcoming as well as new releases of horror collectibles such as action figures, dolls, statues, movies, books and comics! As an avid collector of pretty much anything, I can tell you my first review comes from my collectible heart! I’m talking McFarlane Toys Walking Dead TV Series 2 action figures!
In this lineup we have Sherriff Rick Grimes, Shane Walsh, Bicycle Girl Zombie, Well Zombie and RV Zombie! Now for those of you that may not know, McFarlane Toys makes magnificent action figures as well as very detailed representations of your beloved characters! This series is no different as they look as if they have jumped right off of the TV screen!
First up in our review is Sherriff Rick Grimes! This figure is 4-4 1/2 scale,keeping to his namesake this figure features his grimey look from last season with dirt and blood stains upon his shirt! He features 14 points of articulation,and even has different removable hands so that he can hold a multitude of weapons, which include a rifle with strap and scope, removable revolver, and even a control stick for wrangling zombies! The details on this figure are amazing! From his watch on his wrist, his sherriff’s hat, even down to his scruffy beard on his face, you won’t be disappointed!
Next up is my favorite character Shane Walsh(R.I.P.!)! Again this figure is 4-4 1/2 scale, just like he was in last season this figure says crazy and angry! I’m really disappointed that this figure doesn’t feature the amazing articulation of Rick Grimes! From what I can tell, he features only 5 points at the most! He also features amazing detail! From his veiny arms,his open shirt showing his tattoo over his heart,even his brush cut looks realistic! He comes packaged only with a single barreled shotgun!
Next up is probably the most famous zombie to have been in the show thus far! Bicycle Girl Zombie! The very first zombie that Rick Grimes encountered in Season 1! This figure is 4-4 1/2 scale and surprisingly has more points of articulation than Shane! This figure comes on an action base featuring a lever that when pressed makes the zombie reach out to try and grab you! The detail in this figure is immaculate, looking slimey to the touch, flesh rotting, innards and bones showing! Bicycle Girl Zombie comes packaged with a broken cell phone and removable jeans accessories! What can I say about our next figure other than ewww!
The Well Zombie! This figure is truly digesting just as he was in Season 2! He’s 4-4 1/2 scale and has 9 points of articulation! This figure also has a play action,where his belly splits apart displaying his removable rotten guts! Details include rope wrapped around his torso,blisters about his skin,and he even comes packaged with a canned ham! Very gross but very cool!
Last but not least we have the RV Zombie! Much like the Shane figure,this one does not feature much articulation! Just like the rest of the series,he is of 4-4 1/2 scale! His features include a fine decaying paint job, a removable screwdriver that is lodged in his left eye, and an open slit to flip back neck/head feature! All in all, despite the disappointing Shane and RV Zombie figures, there is enough good things in this series to warrant purchasing all 5!
I rate this series 5 Needles out of 5! Release date for this series is October 2012,and can be found at the following retailers: Amazon.com,Barnes & Noble,Toys R Us, Gamestop, F.Y.E., Hastings, CLARKtoys.com and your local comic book shops!
Thank you all for reading my first review! I will see all of you every Monday for more Scares Coming Your Way!
Yours cruely!
