So Mike you would be proud of me .... I visited what I believe is the only McFarlane store in the nation.

You can tell Todd the staff did a good job tho the guy didnt know nothing abou how everything in the store used to be 9.99 (most figs anyways) before. I saw an old blog post where it used tobe that way. Oh well I wanted to support anyways so picked up the vinyl which I tought was cool and the girl is cool too but its a gift for my lil bro-in-law who will love it.

Yes, this is our. Gonna try to get Todd to sign it on Thursday at the book signing.

I know - I'm working on it I gotta get the brand manager to put it in a line-up - probably will never happen due to price of bike

There is a cool article in last months Walking Dead Magazine (Issue #2) about the making of the action figures. The article features myself, along with some of the other artists that work on the figures. (There's a cool pic of me digitally scanning Michael Rooker on set for the Series 3 Merle figure - pg2). Check it out:

I see London, I see France, I see someone scanning Merl

LOL...as long as my underpants aren't showing!!

 

[mllNY]

Actually there should be the Mike scanning pose action figure. Just like you were scanning Michael Rooker

 

[spawnshop]

Imagine if Hot Toys had The Walking Dead license!

They would be 20x the cost at $250 each!!!

 

[Wreck]

They would be 20x the cost at $250 each!!!

Or $300!

Tho on a serious note ... I wish McFarlane could offer some bigger sized Walking Dead stuff for the more serious collector. Like how they do their bad ass spawn statues.

 

[spawnshop]

Yeah, i agree. Problem is that Gentle Giant has the resin license for the TV show locked up i believe. gotta check.
