- Morgan Jones
- Dale Horvath
- Bob Stookey
- Rick Grimes
- Eugene Porter
They are currently scheduled for an October release. Pre-order the figures Here. Read on for the images and more info on each figure.
Each figure features each highly articulated human figure features the likeness of the actor and come with multiple accessories. Each figure stands about 5-inches tall, features 22 points of articulation, and comes in a blister card packaging.
Morgan Jones
A true survivor, Morgan Jones has battled the apocalypse almost entirely on his own. After losing his family to the outbreak and almost losing himself in the process, Morgan has sought redemption by slaying the endless Walkers on his quest to find Rick Grimes. This version of Morgan depicts the survivalist in his battle ready armor and equipped with his favorite Walker dispatching weapons. The Morgan Jones action fiigure comes with approximately 22 points of articulation, assault rifle, alternate masked head, removable hood, walking stick, and backpack.
Dale Horvath
Dale Horvath has served as a calming force among the original group of Atlanta survivors. While often seen standing watch quietly atop his RV, Dale was never afraid to serve as “the moral compass” and speak up for what he felt was best for the group. This Dale Horvath action figure immortalizes the survivor community elder with his trusty lawn chair and binoculars…forever keeping lookout for his friends. His figure also includes approximately 22 points of articulation, folding lawn chair, binoculars, removable bucket hat and rifle.
Bob Stookey
Bob Stookey’s talents as a former army medic and experience with firearms served as a real asset when he joined the group of survivors in season 4. Having been the lone survivor in previous survivor groups, the charismatic Bob was often troubled by guilt and his need for alcohol. During the conflict at Terminus, Bob endlessly attempted to be the voice of reason…even after his leg was cannibalized. The Bob Stookey action figure includes approximately 22 points of articulation, 2 machetes, removable vest, removable leg, amputated leg and BBQ leg.
Rick Grimes
A former Sheriff Deputy, Rick Grimes has always been a leader amongst the group of Atlanta survivors. Initially after resisting his destined role, Rick has finally accepted his place of leadership. Rick is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his family and friends alive in this less than moral world. This version of Rick depicts him after the attack on Terminus and includes approximately 22 points of articulation, assault rifle, pistol, and machete with red handle.
Eugene Porter
Introduced as a scientist working on a top secret genome project, Eugene Porter convinces a group of survivors led by Abraham to escort him to Washington, DC. Sporting his “Tennessee top hat,” Eugene’s intellect and bluntness proves to be both helpful and disastrous along the way. The Eugene figure is shown in Glenn’s full riot gear armor worn during their detour to Terminus. The Eugene Porter action figure also includes approximately 22 points of articulation, assault rifle, backpack and prop helmet.

I think I want Dale's chair more than his figure. The Morgan figure is really the only cool one. I would say Rick looks good, but they have yet to make a Rick that looks good in final production.
Two More Walking Dead TV Series 8 Figures - The Toyark - News
While it's awesome that they're doing gore-y swappable parts, it's disappointing that MacFarlane seems to be so caught up that they're spoiling a recent season in the process. I haven't gotten around to watching the latest one(season 5?) because I watch on Netflix. Sad that these toys have spoiled at least two major developments for me.
You're in for a gory treat.
The actual products NEVER even look close to this good.

I just saw these at my TRU.
the exclusives are wrong, carol is gamestop and tyreese is target
These look great, IMO. I've been waiting for a better sculpt of Rick. Might scoop Morgan as well.
I really liked Dale's character, but the figure looks a little dodgy, so I'm holding off for now.
I can't get any of this stuff locally. Thank goodness for Toyark sponsors.

I appreciate the review, as I'm ready to pre-order. You saw the Rick sculpt, and weren't put off by it?
Judging by these photos, I think Eugene looks weakest of the bunch. I wouldn't waste much time on him if I was the sculptor.
I bought Rick a few weeks ago. He is awesome. Great sculpt, and the paint is pretty good. All in all, I feel like he's a milestone achievement for MacFarlane's Walking Dead line.
I feel like Morgan is a disappointment likeness-wise from the figures I've seen. His face doesn't look enough like the actor, but it's cool enough design that I may buy one eventually.

Thanks guys! I've wanted a Rick for a while, so I'm buying him regardless, but this one does seem better.
Morgan is an important character, second only to Rick IMHO. I wouldn't be surprised if McFarlane releases another version of him in the future. Since face sculpts seem to improve with each attempt, I'm inclined to sit tight for now.
Fair point. I'm biased in favour of actor Lennie James because I really enjoyed his character Hawkins in Jericho. When he made his first appearance in this show, I gave a whoop!
the thing I like about TWD is that no one's too "important" to die. grant it popularity insulates several cast members from being primary targets on the show, they usually take out one or two favorites every season. but it seems that the prime core cast gets put in the most "no way out" situations and makes it out while everyone else just screws up. look at the last episode WARNING MINOR SPOILERS: a lot of the group got picked off in the woods just not looking around! walkers are slow, and moving through the woods makes noise. keep your heads on a swivel people! pay freeking attention! I love Morgan, he's one of the few characters that I'd like them to do a full flashback episode on to fill the gaps. I'm going to start collecting TWD figures this wave because of him, rampage Carol, and the improved Rick. I just wish the did a non F'd up Tyreese with baby Judith for the win.
I find it weird that nobody thinks that Carl is the most important character after Rick. In the long run, comics-wise, I see him as the most important character of all. Glenn is a big deal. Morgan is more important as a foil/parallel to Rick. He is much different in the show than the comic. Besides Rick and Carl though, I don't feel confident in their long term presence.
I honestly hope they do a time jump in the show like in the comics so Carl can start being more central. He's a great character that keeps being relegated to babysitter because the writers seem to not know what to do with him. Even though, again, he's a huge deal.
I'd be cool with a time jump, as long as it doesn't require a sub be brought in for Chandler Riggs. that kid has Carl down, but he's too young to get away with a two year increase in age over night. I think he's coming into his own ok on the show. hell, next to Rick, Carol, Daryl, and Glenn he's the longest lasting regular. I think though, a lot of devices they use in the comics would get cumbersome in a weekly show, like time jumps, Rick loosing a hand, and Carl loosing an eye. notice once someone looses a limb in the show there days are numbered. I'll bet it has to do with the hassle of CGIing the limb out or having to write and act around it. I'm not saying Carl's not a bad ass, but I think his character is written more as a focal point for Rick to maintain his sanity and reason (the thing he has to preserve and protect) and keep him grounded. hell everyone always draws parallels between Rick and the Governor, the only difference is the Gov's kid was a Zombie and Rick kept his alive. In that sense I'd say Carl is an important part of Rick's character.
