McFarlane used to be really good at this business. I dunno what the fuck the point of half-assed hybrids of "detailed" minifigures and LEGO construction is.

I guess he's trying to bring together the best of two worlds, detailed figures with the mini building power of LEGO's.

I don't care for it myself, although I have been tempted to buy the WD mini figures to go into my bucket of traditional "little green army men".

But they don't accomplish that. The figures are quarter machine-level of quality at best. It really reminds me of another failed attempt at mixing the two. Built to Rule, anyone?

There's just to many building block systems now...and all that anybody wants is LEGO.


Except the Joe collectors, they seem to like that GI Joe Kreo stuff.

Which sorta reminds me. I've been seeing a lot of bootleg LEGO mini figures on eBay. Saw some Lord of the Rings sets for like $8 and they look exactly like the LEGO versions.

My wife even found some LEGO Minecraft knockoffs on some "deal" site. She ordered a set of 6 for $8 and when we bought a legitimate LEGO Minecraft set, I compared the minifigs. Almost exactly the same in build and quality, just the decos were off a little bit, and instead of the skeleton being an actual skeleton, it was just a minifig body with a ribcage printed on it. And instead of the Enderman being a tall drink of water like the LEGO version, it too was simply a minifig with regular legs. I'm sure the Chinese are simply pirating the LEGO molds.

I PERSONALLY bought the walking dead knock offs and they are LEGO quality. I am picky about my shit, but will say if you are looking for rare Marvel/DC/Star wars and they have them in a lot, buy them. They are worth it.

The fact they do not make walking dead LEGO, these are must haves for fans.

I am not one to promote a toy that sucks. These are well worth it. Also, shipping from China to my house in bumfuck egypt took less than 5 days.

I added the chain to Michonne's zombies



I bought all of these, which come with extra heads per figures, extra hands, and stand with a couple bricks, shipped for $8

It's almost a shame that Minimates has the minifigure market sewn up for TWD.

Oh Hell yes, that's the ones I was talking about! I don't suppose Daryl has the wings printed on the back of his jacket?

I also saw some Ghostbuster mini KO's that looked pretty good.

Yes, but don't you also have to buy the Ecto1 vehicle? The mini figs alone probably cost $40.

For $50 you get Ecto-1 and all four GBs. It's a damn fine deal considering it's a limited run item.
