Zombie Shakespeare Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 In the SDCC Speculation Thread, Zach mentioned that there would be a WD set that would "spark a lot of discussion." Definitely vague and intriguing. Here are my thoughts that are sure to be way off the mark. * Super hero Rick, Tyreese, Governor, and Michonne from the issue 75 hoax. * Zombified Rick, Michonne, Carl, and Glenn from the Compedium One cover * New characters from the arc that just started: Magna, 2 others, and limping Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The trend seems to be SDCC exclusives moving back to their traditional format of one-off bonus sets rather than vehicles to push out new characters to long-time collectors. I think zombie versions of the key characters is probably a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 You know given the "controversial" tag Zach has given this set the zombie cover Rick etc set seems to make the most sense. I'd have to see it though to decide if I'd pick that one up. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 If anything, a zombie group would be good for zombie customs if you don't want the main characters as zombies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Rick TTA would be awesome. I see Zach's controversial comment as meaning something that is susceptible to criticism, rather than the content being specifically controversial. Perhaps 'gore & bloody' versions of 'best of' characters we've already had. Same figures, some extra red splatter details. I'd actually be happy with that.

karamazov80 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) My guesses: -4 blanks with different Walking Dead logos -a zombie part accessory set that actually has no full figures at all -box of glass: https://screen.yahoo.com/bag-glass-000000237.html Edited May 20, 2014 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortysben Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 How easy are the Sdcc exclusives to obtain? Does Luke's run them after the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 They're usually pretty easy to get. Luke usually does carry them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It's not the figures themselves that will spark discussion, but rather the RV Camper shaped package that they come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowlar Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 With the box sets often being story events we're finally getting a Tainted Meat set. Dinner Time Dale and three cannibals. Likely not happening but it would certainly spark conversations over how far a toy should go even in the context of a zombie property. I can only think of a couple more disturbing/controversial possible sets but I know they will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 If we're getting a Pulp Fiction Gimp figure, I don't think a no-legged Dale would seem even slightly disturbing in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I think everyone can forget about TV show Minimates. Forever. And I specifically didn't say controversial, I just meant people would debate the set's merits here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm going to guess a set that has: Michonne Rick Glenn and The Governor. With WD several waves deep, DST wants to get the core characters into the hands of potentially new collectors who could no longer find the original stuff. A lot of potential new collectors see stuff at SDCC. They will be nearly straight re-releases, maybe new face tampos. The debate about the merit here will be the age old debate between "more Wolverine and Spider-Man" vs. "new and unmade characters". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well that's a daily debate around here. But you're on the right track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 All I keep hearing is Rick TTA....or Michonne TTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
