It seems McFarlane Toys has confirmed that they are currently done with The Walking Dead toy line, at least for now. In a response to a fan question asking about the line on Facebook, McFarlane Toys responded with this:
It has been some time since we’ve seen new Walking Dead figures. The last few 7″ scale solicits were quietly cancelled last year. It looks like they still hold the license, as their banner image with all of their current licenses still shows The Walking Dead logo.
No Walking Dead Figures from McFarlane in 2019
who was even buying these since they switched to 7 in. i can't say I ever see collectors posting pics of them.
i for one quit the line when they switched.
i had probably 95% of the 5" line.

and they didn't make any gawt damn ZOMBIES!!!!!!!
wtf...DUH
Yeah, the last few waves of McFarlane Walking Dead figures were peg-warming like mad everywhere. No one gave a shit.
I always enjoyed the 5-inch line, and I'd be thrilled now if they came out with an Ezekiel/Shiva set, or others characters like Tara, Simon, or even Lori. Problem is, MacFarlane got greedy by trying to reignite collector interest with a 7-inch line when they already had a group of 5-inch scale collectors who didn't feel like starting all over again with the same characters. Trying to fit a 7-inch square peg into a 5-inch round hole I guess (no phallic humor intended).
I'm actually pretty bummed. I have all the 7" and the 10" figures. While I don't like the show nearly as much as I used to, I can't help but still want some core characters that we never got.
Interesting, Joe. I had no idea he despised that 5 inch scale. It was nice have some smaller figures to display on a shelf, rather than having all larger scale figures.......
Mcfarlane is a joke...can't he see all his toy lines are failing. He has pretty much lost all good licenses he's ever had.
he does WHATEVER he wants to do...
sometimes it works..sometimes it doesn't..
