Toyark Gallery – Walking Dead Daryl Dixon with Motorcycle Building Set

Posted on October 13, 2014 at 10:52 pm by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Earlier today we posted a gallery showcasing the fantastic The Governor’s Room – Walking Dead Building Set. Now I’d like to share the second of three galleries. This one showcases the Daryl Dixon with Motorcycle. As with all of The Walking Dead Building Sets, this is a Toys “R” Us Exclusive. This is also the smallest, and least expensive, of the main sets available. The set includes a highway base, Daryl Dixon, a motorcycle and a Walker.

After the jump you can find my thoughts on the set. I also have over 50 photos for your enjoyment.

The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon with Motorcycle Building Set

Pros

  • Great display piece
  • Very easy to assemble
  • Motorcycle looks good
  • Mini figure has a good resemblance Daryl
  • Strong paint apps

Cons

  • Motorcycle tends to come apart easily
  • Grass pieces don’t always want to stay in
  • Doesn’t capture any special moment from the show

Overall
The Governor’s Room, in my opinion, was a near flawless starting point for McFarlane. The overall set, build quality and scene were fantastic. With this one, the overall quality is on par, but there are a few issues that creep in. Let’s start with the good. This is an even easier set to assemble than The Governor’s Room. Shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes or so to snap this all together. The quality of the pieces, is again, top notch. The road, dirt, sign and guard rails feature some really fantastic details. It makes an easy diorama for just about any brick scaled figure (LEGO Minifigs, Kreons, Minimates, etc.). The bike features some nice detail touches. From the set to the headlights to the different wheel builds for front and back, the small details add up to a great looking piece. Daryl and the Walker are also sculpted well. For such a small sculpt, the likeness to actor Norman Reedus is pretty spot on.

On the down side, the motorcycle can be a fickle piece. The bike feature two small pipe pieces to simulate the exhaust system. While they are a nice detail, they don’t really connect all that well. A slight bump to the motorcycle will tend to knock one or both those pieces off. If you don’t plan on ever taking these apart, then I suggest a touch of adhesive to hold them in place. The included grass pieces look amazing, but have a tendency to fall out. Also, the overall scene lacks the impact of The Governor’s Room. While that set chose a striking visual from the show (as well as the comics), this one is a fairly tranquil moment.

In the end, this is a good set, though. It’s not quite up to the level of The Governor’s Room set, but it’s still a worthy companion piece. Also, as future sets are released, the pieces from this one will likely make great add-ons to those sets (especially Dale’s RV).

Below you’ll see some select shots, with the full gallery after that.

    Wow, that came out really good. Set and your pics. Light up fishtanks are awesome. I'm gonna pick up a smaller set at some point just because I want to see how McFarlane does this. The Prison dio at SDCC and NYCC is impressive.

    Thanks man. It was fun to shoot this.The Prison set was the only one that TRU didn't have when I stopped in. Cannot wait to grab that one now.

    I'm wondering if I bought 2-3 sets I could combine them to make a dio that would be in scale with my ML figures? I am not a big Walking Dead fan or mini figures, so wouldn't be buying the sets for that factor, but I love the detail and idea of making/changing a dio at will. How much was the set?

    This one was $30. The Daryl set goes for $20.

    Are they in the same scale?

    No. These work best with roughly 2" figures (the included figures, Minimates, etc.).

    Yeah, Saw all these at TRU this week.


    The W is for walkers , the H is for human figures.



    This is how they look next to a megabloks figure if you want to judge scale.

    I may just buy a case of the blind bags, open them all and then resell the duplicates. Once I get my hands on the Prison Tower, I'll do that up as well.

    Is there some reason why the faces have no eyes?

    They're tiny and creating a paint mask for that probably isn't the easiest thing. It's really only noticeable in pics.

    I have picked some of these up and plan to paint them. I like modeling so it works out for me. If anyone wants to trade extras let me know. I have a carl and two male herd walkers available. I could also part with the governor, not really my favorite character. I am looking for Michonne or regular Daryl if anyone has extra, don't want to pay triple on ebay.

    I'm so torn on these. I really want them but not sure if I can take on the cost of an additional line.

    I wonder how these will look with Hasbro's mini Guardians of the Galaxy figures.
