I got the TWD building sets today! I never dipped into the larger figures, but these just seemed too fun to pass up. I got a few blind bags, the 5-pack with Rick and Merl, and Daryl's Chopper at lunch. When I got home I put them together... and loved it so much I went back for more blind bags and the Governor's room!

They are SERIOUSLY well done. I can't believe how good the likeness comes through on these tiny figures. The paint is also well done. I had a lot of fun putting Daryl's chopper set together. Building up the landscape with tiles is fun, as it's pretty loose how you do it. It comes with SO much vegetation to put on, too! You can see in one pic all the pieces I still had left after putting together the set. The only issues I had at all putting it together were that some of the vegetation didn't want to go into the tiny holes in the tile. It wasn't a huge deal, though, as they provided so many. The other thing is the pipes in Daryl's Chopper are pretty fiddly and take some adjusting to get int securely.

Even with no real paint apps on the faces, they are all immediately recognizable. Great sculpts

And, just remember... these are teeny tiny figures. They make look more rough up close, but that's because they are TINY. In real life, they just look detailed and amazing.

Didn't realize the building sets were out yet! I'll have to hit up TRU tomorrow! I just wish the paint apps on the faces were better.

I also got Jesus today. Great figure, but I have to say I'm disappointed yet again McFarlane seems to have dropped an accessory. I didn't see any sign of the knife with either figure. The back of the package clearly says he has a knife. Its one thing to say that before packaging is made up and to drop it, but for it to make it all the way to the package (without even knowing this figure existed mind you) and then to drop it is just lazy and a slap in the face to buyers. I feel like the figure is in complete now, even though he really isn't.

I guess getting a second head is a much better accessory than the tiny knife would have been, but still :dunno

But despite that minor quibble, he's a great addition to the comic line. We've got a decent amount of All Out War ear figures now between Negan, Dwight, Ezekiel, and Rick and Andrea are close enough.
 
They are tiny. You won't mind the lack of face apps, really, in real life. LOL.

It's cool how this...

Better late than never. Comics series 3 figures finally out in HK. Still not many shops stock them but at least I don't have to pay silly shipping costs to get them over here. Any updates about the next series?

Where are you finding these? If TRU what state are you in? I checked two here in NE Philly and nothing. I checked both the Lego and Figure Depts. Also checked a local Walmart and nothing.

Thanks!

Man, I'm really going to have to catch up on the game now. I think I still have 2 chapters left of the first seasons, plus that 100 days of summer or whatever DLC. I love the game, but man it is emotionally draining to play. :lol
