Walking Dead Building Set Figure Pack Photo Shoot

Posted on October 16, 2014 at 9:26 am by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Here we have our third photo shoot from the release of McFarlane’s The Walking Dead Building Sets. In addition to The Governor’s Room, Daryl Dixon on Motorcycle and the Prison Tower, they also released a multi-pack of five figures. Included in the set is Rick Grimes (Season 3 pose and outfit), Merle Dixon and three very different Walkers. Unlike the blind bags, this set lets you know which five figures you are getting, which makes it more appealing for those who hate hunting down figures and winding up with lots of duplicates.

After the jump, you can find a gallery of 70 detailed photos as well as my thoughts on the figures.

Walking Dead Building Set Figure Pack

Pros

  • 5 very different figures
  • No duplicates in the set
  • Great paint application
  • Solid sculpts with good likenesses

Cons

  • None

Overall
This set wound up being a great purchase. Priced at $15, I couldn’t pass it up. I despise blind bag items (though McFarlane at least lets you know if you are getting humans or Walkers), so being able to get 5 different figures off the bat was great. The figures, other than Rick, come unassembled. they go together in seconds, so that’s not a problem. Also included with each figurte is a small plastic base to help them stand. Rick was the only one that really required me to use it.

Like the figures included in the sets, these are highly detailed sculpts for just 2″ tall figures. Rick Grimes, in particular, features a pretty spot on likeness of Andrew Lincoln. Merle isn’t quite as recognizable, but that is mainly due to the exaggerated expression. The stand out pieces of this set are the Walkers. Each one is completely different, which was a big draw for me. The style and colors used are vastly different between the three, and will make great horde pieces as I build up my collection.

I’ve got no complaints with this set. It gives me two main characters from Season 3 of The Walking Dead and three great Walkers. I’ve got a few select shots below, 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.
