2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I was lucky enough to win in one of The Toy Box's monthly contests back in November and the box arrived today! This was an awesome prize package and I'm duper thankful to Matt for having these contests🤜🤛 Don't forget to enter this months contest! Find his site on my blogroll 😉

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! ...

One of the cool things Walking Dead creators managed to do in their series is to add a little personality to their Zombie characters. It gave credence to the dead walkers and individualized what might have been just another generic Zombie horde. Much like this autopsy Zombie figure. Dressed in his work threads, you can get a feeling of what he may have been doing before turning. Less articulation seems to be a running theme with alot of the zombie figures in this line and understandably so. They aren't ninja or special force commandos. Zombies pretty much just drag ass across the television screen as the unturned either run away or chop into them. So I'm cool with the limited articulation. Enjoy the pics! Next time...

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...
