Diamond Select Toys Announces San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Walking Dead Minimates 4-Pack

If you can’t get enough of zombie Minimates, then you’ll want to get to San Diego Comic-Con (or ask a friend) to pick up this exclusive 4-pack of Walking Dead Minimates. Sure, SDCC is a great time for this set, but I think Diamond Select Toys missed an opportunity to release these on Father’s Day – after all, you’ve got crotchety old Hershel and his zombie son Shawn here. Come to think of it, they could have included “gut-shot” Carl in this set to really nail the theme. Arm-chair product management is fun!

The Walking Dead Minimates Return to Hershel’s Farm at SDCC!

At Comic-Con International in 2012, Diamond Select Toys released the first two-pack from their line of The Walking Dead Minimates, based on the best-selling Skybound comic book by Robert Kirkman. The two-pack quickly sold out, and DST swore to top themselves in 2013. Now, with the third full series of Walking Dead Minimates in stores, DST and Skybound are proud to announce a new exclusive four-pack for this year’s Comic-Con!

This year’s Comic-Con exclusive Walking Dead Minimates box set is titled Hershel’s Farm, and it includes four different Minimates based on the famous farmhouse story arc. Included in the set are Hershel, his deceased son Zombie Shawn, Lookout Duty Rick and a Barn Zombie. The Minimates come in a blister-carded four-pack, and each stands 2 inches tall, with a variety of interchangeable parts and accessories, including a pitchfork and a blanket. The set will be limited to only 3000 produced.

The set will be available at the Diamond Select Toys booth, #2607, as well as from various retailers around the show floor. Comic-Con International takes place July 18-21 at the San Diego Convention Center. For more information, visit artasylum.com!

WALKING_DEAD_TOYS_575

MTV Geek has a great Twitter giveaway (of the standard follow and retweet variety) that ends on Friday, for a complete set of The Walking Dead Series 3, signed by Todd McFarlane. I saw the bloody Michonne plus Zombie Pets 3-pack at my local Toys R Us today, and it was priced at $39.99 – and individually, Michonne and co. are listed at $16.99 each on ToysRUs.com (saw none on the shelves), so this would be a sweet set to win.

McFarlane Toys The Walking Dead Series Four Preview Pics

McFarlane Toys announced the lineup for series 4 of their TV-based action figures for The Walking Dead, and thanks to BigBadToyStore we’ve got our first look at them. With Andrea, Carl, and the Governor, they’ve got some of the big hitters from season 3 of the show. The lineup also includes 2 more zombies (of which you can never have enough) and a 2-pack of the bad-ass brothers Merle and Daryl.

I know a few folks who didn’t pick up Daryl when they had the chance, so they’ll want to jump on this set and then customize a walker version of Merle if they’ve already got his single-packed figure.

Border Patrol: The Walking Dead

Did you catch The Walking Dead finale this weekend? Crazy, huh? Actually, I haven’t seen it yet, and hope to catch it soon on Netflix, late at night and in a dark room. Still, eBay customizers are looking to ride the zombie wave, with a fair amount of Walking Dead customs this week. And, to my dismay, some spoilers have come with them.

  • The Governor (1/6 scale) by leftoverzombies – ok, so I can’t complain much about seeing the Governor and his lost eye, since he’s been all over the previews – I still try to avoid them but it’s almost impossible if you watch any TV these days – he comes with a lot of accessories, least of which is the removable bandage revealing some gruesome details – ends Apr 05, 2013 18:05:36 PDT
  • Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon custom heads by numo – while not full customized figures, get these heads and you’ve got the most important parts of 1/6 scale customs – end Apr 04, 2013 11:12:30 PDT and Apr 04, 2013 11:08:16 PDT respectively

In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
