boyd Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Wave 2 of the Walking Dead announced in all its zombie glory: http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2012/08/the-walking-dead-have-come-back-for-a-second-series-of-minimates/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I watch the TV show & I'll admit it is getting a lot better but I have no idea regards the comic characters which I believe all the Minimates are based on . I'm just throwing it out there ....will the mainstream TV fans be buying these when they, like me, have no clue who the civilian characters are ? Don't get me wrong ,these look great & I'm intrigued to see these how these will be received by the WD fans once they start hitting the shelves of the UK supplier....whoever that might be?

DSTZach Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Got my set pre-ordered yesterday! DST, PLEASE make more of the main characters (Rick, Glenn, Michonne, Andrea) as black and white variants. I'm not saying do them all at once, but these would be KILLER exclusives... and, I'd love you forever. We'll see how the line does! And the B&W set! I watch the TV show & I'll admit it is getting a lot better but I have no idea regards the comic characters which I believe all the Minimates are based on . I'm just throwing it out there ....will the mainstream TV fans be buying these when they, like me, have no clue who the civilian characters are ? Don't get me wrong ,these look great & I'm intrigued to see these how these will be received by the WD fans once they start hitting the shelves of the UK supplier....whoever that might be? Not sure they'll get to the UK, at least not officially. Haven't heard that orders were such that we're ponying up for UK testing. But I could be wrong. Ask your local comic shop. Now, you watch the TV show, but you have no idea who the civilian characters are? Michonne, obviously not, but Rick? Glenn? Shane? Dale? Andrea? Morgan? Amy? They don't look exactly the same between the two media, but everyone who watches the show knows who Glenn is, don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00sted Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 the show has nothing on the comics... I thought the show was awesome then picked up the comics and OMG I cant get enough of it. I read #101 and upset I got to wait so long for #102 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't look exactly the same between the two media, but everyone who watches the show knows who Glenn is, don't they? I should elaborate.... I was being specific to the Wave 2 characters that Boyd linked to....I've only seen the first couple of series' & I fired off without checking....esp. Michonne...I've yet to see her whilst Morgan doesn't relate to the Morgan I know of from the early episodes. Not my finest post & I'm wishing I'd thought about it longer Storm 1:08 relayed some info from SDCC (from Chuck ??) that a Brit company pre-ordered a large amount of Walking Dead Series One 'mates....hence my comment Edited August 16, 2012 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Regarding the recent AA post revealing the series 2 assortments (speciality & TRU). Got me thinking... have we seen the equivalent pictures for the series 1 TRU assortment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Love, love, love both the specialty and TRU second waves. Question for Zach: Do know off hand if zombies Terry and Mike will come with chains to attach to their collars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Really excited for wave 2, even though I was hoping that Amy would have a scared or dying face. I need some scared looking minimates to face off against zombies. I was thinking about getting a Wolverine through the Ages set just to get that scared, screaming head. Are there any more scared looking minimates out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogi Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) That's a good idea, we need either scared heads or maybe just a scared face on the other side of the head? (at least for those with a head that's fully covered in the back) Looking through the database seems the only scared faces are: James Howlett GB 2 Ray Stantz Slime Blower Winston Slimed Peter Venkman They're kinda cartoony but there's also Louis Tully from RGB Louis 2 Pack Louis 4 Pack Edited August 19, 2012 by Shogi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks for that list. Unfortunately, most of those sets don't seem too readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Amy will come with two faces. Check shots of the display at SDCC. Mike and Terry come with chains, as far as I know. We just don't prototype them before the factory is involved. Like translucent pieces. The UK thing sounds familiar. Series 1 @ TRU: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sweet. Thanks, Zach. She'll be perpetually dying in my display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Will all the zombies have solid colored legs like that pic? I feel that they would look a lot better with a little blood/dirt on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I feel that they would look a lot better with a little blood/dirt on them. ..bood/dirt....etc. We all know why zombies don't run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painted prototypes usually have more paint on them than production, so I doubt we're adding anything. I shot production samples, and they look the same. Maybe put them in your pocket when you go mountain biking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
