Man. The wait for this is going to be painful.

Unbelievably good.

Maybe its the lighting and angle , but has the face sculpt changed abit?

I think it has. He has a slight smirk now.

The first prototype:

I need those giant zippers gone before I’d feel comfortable showing this off to my non collector TWD buddy.

That's one of the greatest sculpts I've ever seen.

Negan wasn't a character I needed.

Those pictures R_R_X posted just changed my mind.

INART did a fine job capturing Jeffrey Dean Morgan but I think the nose needs a bit of work.

I still think the Threezero sculpt was really good, mostly because I believe they used 3D data of JDM courtesy of AMC. Sadly they butchered their production sculpt. Repaints and such show how strong that sculpt actually is, especially these photos from Masahendrix.





Of all 3 TWD figures they've shown, I'm most impressed by their Rick.

If TWD wasn't dead to me I'd be so excited for these, but I think just Rick and Negan would be a nice duo to have on display if you still love the franchise, they're definitely iconic.

I always find it weird when people try to discredit shows because it had a bad ending. Like, Game of Thrones is one of the best produced shows ever. The actors are all incredible, the sets and costuming are all as good as it gets, and the writing kept you hooked. Obviously the show took a complete nose dive in season 8 but it doesn't discredit that seasons 1-6 are some of the best TV ever made.

Walking Dead is kind of in this realm to me. There has been exactly one show that was capable of challenging Sunday Night Football over the last 15 years, and that's The Walking Dead. Before that got to Alexandria, I remember the days of when you HAD to watch that show live or you were getting spoiled on Monday morning, either by the radio or co-workers or friends or whatever. It was unreal.

Sadly, that show also took a nose dive, but long before the final episodes. I felt obligated to stick it out and made it through the Whisperer storyline, but I just had to give up before the final season started. I couldn't do it anymore, especially with how freaking stupid Fear the Walking Dead was going. Nukes and submarines and radioactive walkers. Really?

I mentioned this in another thread but display space is rapidly running out and with The Walking Dead completely an afterthought in my mind at this point, I don't feel the need to build a collection, but I am wondering if I should just pick up Negan and Rick as Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Andrew Lincoln put on all time performances in the show. Regardless of the writing or what happened, those two had unreal chemistry together and I felt compelled to see that war through because of the actors.

I do wonder if it's worth commemorating the show with just those two figures, as you mentioned.

I hope they make more like Shane and season 5 feral Rick.

The Negan figure looks absolutely perfect. Stunning work.
But I don't know about him... while iconic on one side I had already completely lost the passion for The Walking Dead I once had when he entered the show...

I was so freakin' obsessed with TWD starting with season 1 all the way up to season 5 and when the trailer for season 6 dropped I just couldn't stop watching it on repeat with that haunting song constantly on my mind... Those were the times... Still miss it soo much... And then the first episode aired and that was it for me... can't even tell you why or what it was exactly but I just wasn't feeling it anymore... all passion was instantly lost forever... even though episode 2x6 was pure perfection in my book it all just went downhill from there...

So with that in mind for me Rick and Daryl would be the most iconic duo to represent the show on the shelf. But still... this figure looks really amazing...

Unlike you I stuck to it 'till the very end... and it was painful at times... very painful
Maybe it was the completionist in me or maybe I was just very desperate or really bored... I dunno... well, I'm a retard, so probably it was just that but I watched every single episode of TWD universe - every single one! And while there were some glimmers of hope in the original show here and there every once in a while it never felt great again after season 5. At least not for me. The ending was okay-ish. The new shows are okay, not great. World Beyond was horrid. And Fear the Walking Dead was too after season 4 but I just had to stick to it till the end out of some sense of obligation or obsession or whatever but Fear really was the worst of them all. The writing became so damn stupid I really don't think I've ever watched anything that bad ever in my entire life. 'cause usually you'd just stop watching if something was that bad. It's the normal thing to do. But I didn't
And I wanted to give up soooo many times... it was really hard work to pull through. No kidding. At the end I was like "Only one more season to go. You gotta get through this somehow and then it can finally all die... Please just let it all die..." And the first 6 episodes of the last season were so horrible... it was a chore... can't even tell you how many times I fell asleep... and again I wanted to just give the f*** up before the last half aired. It just didn't make any sense anymore. But boy was I glad I didn't. Honestly! I had a blast!!! It was so fun to watch the last couple of episodes. I can't remember the last time I had such a good time watching something that was not comedy. I don't know if it was intentionally funny because they just didn't give a **** anymore or if they thought packing everything into the final episodes that fans ever wanted to see, whether it made any sense for not was a good idea... I don't know. But it was so ******* fun to watch. I kid you not. It was like all out stupidity. They brought people back from the dead, whether it made sense for not only just to instantly kill them again in some cases. It was hilarious! I loved it! And I would watch it again any time! It was that entertaining... Loved it!

Sorry for the wall of text but I just had to get that out of my system

I loved the show start to finish. However my least favorite season is the last one with the commonwealth stuff, but I still loved the show regardless and liked how it ended.

Earlier this year I re-watched the whole thing and had fun, its still my favorite tv show of all time

Even though I have some customs of these characters, I am very likely to get all 3 of Inart offerings.

I still love them though!!

To me the biggest issue with The Walking Dead, compared to Game of Thrones, is that it doesn't have an end in mind, it's still shambling along like a zombie, with multiple spin-offs and whatnot. At least Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira finally came back to finish Rick and Michonne's story but it was so... Meh.

The entire franchise just turned into a low budget theme park ride but without any of thrills or excitement. Character arcs, relationships, deep philosophical questions from the first few seasons were completely ditched in favor of a cheap Marvel-like direction for the series. Characters stopped behaving like they were supposed to to fit whatever it is they felt like doing for their "TWD Universe" Daryl and Carol are no longer believable characters or even feel like real people, none of the world feels believable, human or authentic.

However, as opposed to Game of Thrones, the legacy of these characters remains intact, because while they may have turned them into paper cutouts of their past selves, they didn't outright destroy them with horrible writing, which Daenerys, Jon Snow, Jaime Lannister, just to name a few, were victims of, and therefore their legacy is destroyed to the point I don't even want to own a representation of them in any form, no matter how amazing those first seasons of GoT were.

Owning a Rick and Negan would at least remind me of all the good times I had with the show and the brilliant season 7 premiere, which I consider to be the truly last amazing TWD episode, and like you said it would be a good way to commemorate a show I was once obsessed with two of TV's most iconic characters. It's part of the reason why I still own Threezero's Rick, even though it's not a good figure by any means.

Season 5 murder jacket Rick is my definitive look for him, if INART never make that version they should at least include the jacket since it feels like an integral part of his character and he does use it for the last time in Season 8, with the blue shirt.

Oof... I tapped out after Season 8, and only watched Rick's final episodes and recently The Ones Who Live, and after watching that I really just wish Rick had died on the bridge. The rest of the big iconic moments they adapted from the comics I just watched on Youtube, and honestly I didn't feel like I missed much, pretty much everything in between those moments was convoluted filler with cardboard characters.

I only watched Fear once and never bothered again, I did check out how it was progressing from time to time out of morbid curiosity and boy... It really was total garbage, I can't imagine wasting my time watching that in it's entirety.

That would be my Rick, with murder jacket included.

As someone who's seen it all - the good and the very bad - let me tell you this: you truly did not miss anything.
Had Rick died on that bridge it would have been remembered as iconic at least. The ending of The Ones who Live... not so much. Even though he certainly deserved his happily ever after... I don't mind the show but it just wasn't very memorable at all.

No normal person would ever watch Fear in it's entirety. Guess it must have been a kind of self-chastisement. Maybe I'm a masochist at heart. But boy, those last 6 episodes were all worth it! So bad that it turned good again. I rarely laughed that hard in my entire life. I think I even binged them all at once. Never would have thought that was possible 'cause for the earlier episodes it sometimes took me 3 days to watch 1 episode alone since I constantly fell asleep. But the last half felt like a good trip. Maybe the writers were high as a kite as well when they wrote the script. At least that would explain a lot

A season 5 Rick would be the one with the most potential, he could do the feral hobo sculpt, a bloodied sculpt for red handle machete action and hell even a clean shaven Alexandria Rick, that would cover all 3 main looks of the season with just one outfit.

Agreed, I actually quite like the scene, even thought it is a little nonsensical but that was pretty much what the show was after a few seasons. The use of the main theme to send off the show's main character was really well done... And then they ruined it by showing him still alive.

The Ones Who Live was just incredibly bland and felt more like softcore porn at times for the "Richonne" shippers. It really didn't add anything at all to the overall story of Rick in the show imo, it was just Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira finally getting their schedules aligned to give these characters an ending, which I appreciate, but I would've preferred if Rick died on the bridge and Michonne got the Andrea death from the comics, instead of Rosita, who nobody gave a crap about.

Fear truly is a disaster, everything I heard and saw about it was honestly so bad it was almost entertaining, I still wouldn't waste my time watching the whole thing though. At one point I read a ton of actors wanted to be written out of the show and that's why it essentially turned into Morgan spin-off.

Exactly. Season 7/8 looks amazing. But Andrew Lincoln did his best work in season 5.
