McFarlane Toys: The Walking Dead

nice to finally see that series 5 charred zombie on the show, lol

I thought it was from season 3, when Milton burned the pit walkers.

This is correct

 

[mikedanger]

[RPM716]

This is correct

Ah, I thought it was from Season 4 so I was wondering why it was standing. Thanks guys!

Daryl!

Added into the fold:

Great figure and "accessory" and the added hip articulation is a winner. Modded the ankles from the hinged to the barbell type so he can have his feet flat in wider stances. Head is pretty good but seems a bit small compared to some of the other figures.

Now the wait for Series 6.

 

[ocielz]

Asian Daryl!?!?! His face seems off.......

 

[mikedanger]

it does seem a little off but it is still 100x better than that POS they released before

Let's hope they repack that Daryl in a case of "solids" and maybe throw in his poncho for good measure... just to satisfy basic figure collectors... who still have that vile Series 1 Daryl.

Who has the bike and daryl in stock?

 

[LipSmack]

Well in anticipation for Daryl w/ bike, I decided to get into this line... Pretty impressed overal, only issue is maggies face so far, which ill repaint. Daryl looks so badass, cant wait for him. Do you guys think McFarlane would sculpt the jacketed arms and re release him in the next series or two? also have they shown what the next series will be?

It's possible they'll rerelease this Daryl as a single carded figure since he is A) In HIGH demand and B) A superior figure compared to the first one. Also, they are rereleasing Shane with a new head sculpt so odds are pretty good for a single carded Daryl imo.

No images for TV series six yet, that I'm aware of, but the figures are known. They will be: New Rick, Hershel, Abraham Ford, Carol, and the Bungie-Guts Zombie (that fell through the store ceiling and got hung-up in the rafters from episode 401).

 

[LipSmack]

Thanks for the info, pretty stoked on that line up. hopefully Carol can sit on the bike, that would be so nice

They did show the raw sculpt of series 6 Rick at Toy Fair. Its based on his season 4 look with the bandage hand. Hopefully he'll come with an unbandaged hand and a beat up head. It would be great too if the belt was a separate piece and could be turned around so the holster is on backwards on the left hip when his hand was bandaged. But that's probably too much for McFarlane to make him that perfect. I'd also love for Herschel to have a swap out leg for a season 3 or 4 look.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Not too much, I think, since the sculpt is pretty good to begin with. I had to lightly sand the bridge of the nose and forehead first due to some thick cracking paint so that prompted the slight revamp. Mainly needed to match the skin tone cuz of the sanding and to paint over the eyebrows in order to have a clean slate to paint the new ones on. Stubble needed touching up, and lips needed some color and shading, and repainted the eyes to be forward instead of off to the side.



Can do

This is great work youve done with this figure! I was just wondering what kind of paint you used for the face and pants? For the pants, it seems as though you were able to get inside the joints as well. Do you have any problems with the paint rubbing off in those areas?*Thanks inn advance for your time man! I hope to attempt this myself. Anything ud like to share would be much appreciated!

Hey, thanks man! Used Testors Acrylics for the paint and so far it seems to be holding up aside from bits of the knee joints since they're harder plastic and don't really hold paint all that well unless sanded.

Things to note are that the Gov lower half and the Rick upper half fit together perfectly so just need to boil and pop both parts and trim away from the waist of the Gov half and pop the torso on. I also had to merge the hinged Rick feet with Gov's barbell type ankles so he can have his feet flat on the table in wider stances. Recently took a cue from Turd Fergusen and shortened his bicep area as well as dremeled the shoulder sockets so his arms are bit closer together on the torso. Hope some of that helps.

Great customs NoodleChow. If it wasn't for the Rick in the next series I would definitely do this. Love that Dale that you did.
