DesignerCon 2013 Weekend Alert

I just checked into Entertainment Earth’s “Countdown to Black Friday” in which they offer a deal each day, usually only for that day. Today’s deal is for the Walking Dead Comic Series 2 – you can get individual figures for $9 each or the entire wave for $33.

I can’t believe how disgusting some of these figures are. Removable limbs? Intestines you can wiggle around? Nasty! This deal ends tonight at midnight.
