The Walking Dead Figures

Comic creator and writer Todd McFarlane also makes toys. Now he’s going to make a line of toys based on the Robert Kirkman and AMC’s hit The Walking Dead. 

The Walking Dead
tells the story of the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse; it follows a
small group of survivors, traveling across the desolate United States in
search of a new home away from the shuffling hordes of the undead. The
group is led by Rick Grimes, who was a sheriff’s deputy in a small
Georgia town, before the zombie outbreak. As their situation grows more
and more grim, the group’s desperation to survive pushes them to the
brink of insanity. At every turn they are faced with unspeakable
horrors—both from the dead, and from the scattered remains of a
struggling human populace.
