2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Where to begin! There was so much greatness in that last box of Walking Dead figures that I probably won't be getting around to reviewing all of them. Instead, I'm just going to go over the ones that really caught my attention, even though every last one of these figures rock! Today we look at the comic series Pin Cushion Zombie!  I just couldn't wait to go to town with this one. After looking at all of the holes in this figures body and all of the bloodied  accessories, I knew what had to be done! Amazing aesthetics! Love the detail on this figure. Placing each weapon into the body of the zombie was, strangely, very pleasing😂 I love how the sword goes right through to the other side. Once again, a huge shout out to GIjigsaw for the figures🙏 Much, much more to come!

Sorry about the lack of posts. I've been trying to keep myself busy with everything that's been going on, helping out family members while simultaneously keeping myself sane creating music and excersing whenever possible. Lately it's been pretty clear outside without any snowfall so I've been able to get a few bike rides in . Todays bike ride was a particularly special one ,though. As I approached my garage to stash the old mountain bike, I came across this.... Another care package from fellow blogger, Goerge AKA GIjigsaw! I immediately hopped on my phone to drop him a thank you email because..dang.. just look at this..! I'll be going through these and posting about them individually within the next couple of days. There's so much WD goodness here! So, this is what my Walking Dead display looks like today.  These shelves will look significantly different in the days ahead😉 Many thanks Jigs! 

I'm making this a double post as most of you have probably been itching to see that Daryl w/ chopper set! So we'll start things off with the comic book version of Abraham. Seeing this figure makes me want to pick up some of the comics even more, now. A great looking design and he kind of reminds me of Outback from GI Joe. In fact, this probably what Outback would have looked like in the Renegades series that got cancelled a while back.  So badass! This figure/ vehicle combo will go down as one of my top 5 favs! Let's look at Daryl first!  So much detail! The pic doesn't do it justice. You really have to hold these figures in hand and look them over to find little things like stitching, rips and other small markings exclusive to the character the figure is portraying. The gang's all here!  Daryl w/ chopper! Wow! J...

I have to admit to missing alot of this story arc. I'll have to go back and refresh , but that doesn't take away from the absolute  awesomeness of these figures and how they look on display. Michonne was another character that took a little time for me to warm up to but  that changed after seeing her softer side with Carl. I liked that dynamic. The one thing I would have liked to see with her figure is a little more poseabilty. I mean, she's got the articulation but it's kind of tight in certain areas and I'm afraid to force it for fear of something popping off. Aside from that, just an amazing sculpt and incredibly detailed figure. It's kind of wierd but I really like the boot/shoe  sculpts  on alot of the WD figures. I'm thinking this is a trend with McFarlane as his line of sport themed figures all had their own sneaker brands. I can't remember If they were branded officially but I do know they were all unique to the player. Enjoy the pics! ...

Merle Dixon. This was a character I really wanted to like and hoped that at some point he'd turn the corner and join Rick and the others. It never happened and the end result was Merle ultimately turning into a walker. He was still pretty badass, cutting off his own arm to free himself from captivity. This figure kicks ass. I'm getting a kick out of the accessories that come with these WD figures. They are very detailed, much like the figure sculpts. Enjoy the pics!  Next time...

Nothing says Thanksgiving like a well done, oven basted Well Zombie ! Who's hungry? Look at the detail that was put into this figure. Incredible. I remember the scene well. This guy came apart like a pinata as they pulled him out of a well, early on in the series. The look on T- Dog's face was priceless!  The figure, while not very poseable, comes with a couple of accessories. Intestines (removable lower half) and what used to be a canned ham. I'll take both, to-go please😝 And check out the attire! I'm guessing Wrangler and not Bugle Boys. Turn him around and you'll see an added extra as they even incorporated the rope that was tied around him to pull him out of the well. Fantastic. Next time...

It took me a while to embrace the character early on in the series but once Carl Grimes came into his own he became one of my favorites.  I kind of figured he'd end up being alot like his dad and to a certain extent ,given his heart and compassion for others, a better version of Rick Grimes. This figure is an earlier representation of the character. The weathering effect on these figures is top notch. I love the paint apps, especially on the boots and vest/hoodie. Next time...
