He does have a huge fan base/following. So why not try to get $450 out of people?

The portraits on these just don't look quite right. I think Merle is the best so far, but he is easier to do, since it is the zombie version. It is too bad, I probably would have pre-ordered Daryl and Michonne.

Still on the fence with this line but I'm seriously considering picking up Michonne and Daryl as they're my favorite characters in the Walking Dead series. I think this piece looks great!!

Hate to burst your bubble but they're already competing with Sideshow. Not only are GG's 1:4 scale statues competitively priced but if you do your homework you'll find you can pick many of them up for less than a Sideshow PF through online vendors.

Case in point the 1:4 scale Walking Dead Michonne, Marvel Black Widow and Iron Patriot statues all retail for $399. I've seen the girls available for pre-order as low as $325 each and Iron Patriot as low as $310. Good luck finding any SS 1:4 scale piece for those prices.

I'm all in on this line, getting them from a LCS at a good price. I have abandoned the mini busts as I can't do both.

Yes. Seems about the average price for SS is around 400 shipped so thats not far off the mark at 450.
not a fan of the show past season 2 the writing and acting has steadily declined.
This IMO would look much better with his sig leather jacket and a better or alternative portrait.

Cool character but the likeness is off. Passable but still off.

Thank God I'm not that big into the show.
