Glad they changed the hair and got rid of the bangs. I seriously hope they improve Rick’s outfit, especially the pants.. they look like jeggings.
I don’t think this specific Rick look stands on its own well enough for me so I’m tempted to get Negan too. They’re a perfect duo match (All Out War).
Ideally, I would’ve loved if they made an all-encompassing S1/S2 Sheriff Rick w/ horse – that would’ve been my sure fire definitive TWD 1/6 representation.
Agreed on the look they picked for Rick not being that appealing.
For me Season 5 is Rick's season, the one where he goes through the most change inside and out and when he rocks the murder jacket the hardest. That alone would make for a lot of possibilities for the figure.
It seems like they instead went for the Season 7/8 blue shirt look which is kind of bland to me. I at least hope they include the murder jacket since he wore it for the last time in S8.
The thing is if you're someone who cares about screen accuracy and wants to replicate a scene with blue shirt Rick and Negan it will never be screen accurate since both times Rick faces Negan with that outfit, Negan is clean shaven!
Negan himself seems to be specifically based off episode 7 from Season 7, the one where he gives Carl a tour around the Sanctuary and also an episode where he has zero interactions with Rick.
Ideally, if they really wanted to go for the most iconic and screen accurate looks from when these two interact, they'd go for these.
INART could easily make it work by giving Negan a clean shaven head and Rick the jacket and white t-shirt. Perhaps even that first sculpt they showed of Rick as a separate head.
But I don't know why I'm going this in depth on these figures, I probably won't be able to afford them anyway. 😅
