McFarlane is really shooting themselves in the foot by releasing that JUST before the 2pack hits. People were going to snatch up the 2 back like crazy just to get a Daryl. But now with a more current and better Daryl o the way, I bet sales for the 2 pack will plummet now. I'll be getting both, so I don't care, but from a marketing standpoint it was carelessly stupid.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's pretty much gonna be everybody's mindset. :lol
 
Finally found the sidekick display of Wave 4 at my local Walgreens! It was located in the Halloween aisle and they had multiples of each figure, so I was able to pick and choose for the best paint apps. Still, all of the Carls that they had were polio stricken, so I had to use the boiling water trick to fix his legs. I picked up Carl, Andrea, and the Governor. Guardian is correct in saying, it is really hard to get their weapons in their hands! I also snapped off the Governor's neck peg on the head without the eye patch simply by twisting it! Fortunately I hadn't planned on displaying him with the head, but I still had to dig the broke ball end out of his neck. QC issues aside, I really like these. Surprisingly enough, Carl is my favorite (especially after curing him of his polio)...just wish they had given him his pistol.

Carl before:



Carl after:



And my collection so far:


Carls pistol will come with Tyreese,they did this to avoid any controversy and to keep every one happy.

I love the fact that they gave him a Science Dog Tee on the show which was a comic within a comic. Science Dog was Mark (Invincible) from the Invincible comics favourite comic book character.
 
That Daryl and Chopper 2-pack is awesome! I had the Daryl/Meryl 2-pack on pre-order, and I just cancelled it. The newest version of Daryl looks loads better. I'll just backtrack and get the single-pack Merle elsewhere.

Fan-favorite Daryl Dixon, from AMC’s hit television series The Walking Dead, is a lone wolf survivalist who has proven time and again to be a vital sentinel for Rick Grimes and his group in an unpredictable and perilous apocalyptic world. McFarlane Toys’ deluxe box set features Daryl Dixon with his iconic chopper motorcycle. The figure’s exact likeness is created using a full 3D scan of the actor himself, Norman Reedus! This brand new sculpt portrays Daryl in his angel wings stitched biker vest and includes approximately 20 points of articulation, hunting knife and new crossbow. Daryl’s transportation of choice in this apocalyptic world is his brother Merle’s black chopper motorcycle. The first vehicle produced for The Walking Dead action figure line, this iconic chopper includes the lightning-bolt insignia on the tank, skull decal, and saddlebags.
