Very few characters from The Walking Dead haven’t been immortalized in plastic courtesy of McFarlane Toys these last few years, and to date the company has released a whopping seven different series’ based on the hit TV show – with the eighth set for release next month.

Wasting no time, McFarlane has just unveiled Series 9 of the action figure collection, and six brand new toys fill it out. In addition to newly designed figures of Daryl, Michonne, and Dale, the ninth series brings Beth, T-Dog, and the infamous ‘Water Walker’ onto toy shelves for the first time.

Check out the upcoming line-up below, along with full details. Series 9 will be released in Spring 2016.

BETH GREENE – With a kind smile, Beth Greene served as a pillar of hope and strength to the group of survivors. Using kindness, paired with the medical knowledge passed on to her by her father Hershel, Beth helped heal both the body and soul of those around her. Her death shook the very core of the group of survivors; almost as if all hope died with her. This figure features Beth in her outfit at the end of Season 4 and includes approximately 22 points of articulation, assault rifle, and knife.

T-DOG – One of the original Atlanta survivors, T-Dog was a kindhearted and well-intentioned member of Rick’s group. He never hesitated to charge in and help those in need. Even when all seemed lost he put others before himself and ultimately sacrificed himself to save Carol from Walkers overrunning the prison. This heroic T-Dog figure is ready for battle in his removable Riot Gear Vest. Figure also includes approximately 22 points of articulation, pistol, fire poker, and industrial bolt cutters.

CONSTABLE MICHONNE – What job could you possibly give one of the most lethal members of Rick’s group when she arrived in Alexandria? Side by side with Rick, Michonne enforced law and order as constables. Patrolling the streets, Michonne made sure everyone stayed safe, even if that included quelling Rick. This version of Michonne depicts the character in her full constable uniform, Figure also includes approximately 22 points of articulation, iconic katana with sheath, and pistol.

WATER WALKER – The only thing worse than a Walker you see coming, is the one you don’t see! Searching for supplies in an abandoned flooded food bank in Season 5, the survivors are unaware of the real dangers that lurk beneath the water. Trapped in this cesspool of standing water, the Water Walker’s flesh is literally melting off his body as it waits for its next victim. Figure includes approximately 22 points of articulation, food can, and glass jar debris.

GRAVE DIGGER DARYL DIXON (DIRT VERSION) – If the apocalypse has taught us anything, it’s that you are never safe…even from the flu. Daryl Dixon, a long-time survivor within Rick’s group, has become a pillar of support for those who came to rely on him. If that means burying the dead, then so be it. This version depicts a dirt-covered Daryl from the Season 4, wearing his gloves and bandana while digging the grave for another fallen companion. The figure also includes approximately 22 points of articulation, wooden cross/grave marker, and shovel.

DEATH SCENE DALE HORVATH (Exclusive) – Dale always tried to do what was best for his group, even if it meant speaking against them. To him, everyone’s life was important and deserved a chance. After debating with a less convinced Rick, a frustrated Dale left the safety of the Farm to patrol the grounds and gather his thoughts. Out of the darkness, Dale met a gory end by Walker disembowelment and eventual mercy killing at the hands of Daryl. This figure depicts Dale’s moment of death, disemboweled by the roaming Walker. He also includes approximately 22 points of articulation, binoculars, removable bucket hat, and rifle.

Yay or Nay: What’s Good and Bad in Horror This Week

Published

May 4, 2024

Timothy Rawles

Welcome to Yay or Nay a weekly mini post about what I think is good and bad news in the horror community written in bite-sized chunks.

Yay:

Mike Flanagan talking about directing the next chapter in the Exorcist trilogy. That might mean he saw the last one and realized there were two left and if he does anything well it’s draw out a story.

Yay:

To the announcement of a new IP-based film Mickey Vs Winnie. It’s fun to read comical hot takes from people who haven’t even seen the movie yet.

Nay:

The new Faces of Death reboot gets an R rating. It’s not really fair — Gen-Z should get an unrated version like past generations so they can question their mortality the same as the rest of us did.

Yay:

Russell Crowe is doing another possession movie. He’s quickly becoming another Nic Cage by saying yes to every script, bringing the magic back to B-movies, and more money into VOD.

Nay:

Putting The Crow back in theaters for its 30th anniversary. Re-releasing classic movies at the cinema to celebrate a milestone is perfectly fine, but doing so when the lead actor in that film was killed on set due to neglect is a cash grab of the worst kind.

The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky, in a moist cardboard box at a yard sale. Other than Tubi, where else are you going to find Nightwish (1990), Spookies (1986), or The Power (1984)?

We take a look at the most searched horror titles on the platform this week, hopefully, to save you some time in your endeavor to find something free to watch on Tubi.

Interestingly at the top of the list is one of the most polarizing sequels ever made, the female-led Ghostbusters reboot from 2016. Perhaps viewers have seen the latest sequel Frozen Empire and are curious about this franchise anomaly. They will be happy to know it’s not as bad as some think and is genuinely funny in spots.

So take a look at the list below and tell us if you are interested in any of them this weekend.

Believe it or not, Mattel’s Monster High doll brand has an immense following with both young and not-so-young collectors.

In that same vein, the fan base for The Addams Family is also very large. Now, the two are collaborating to create a line of collectible dolls that celebrate both worlds and what they have created is a combination of fashion dolls and goth fantasy. Forget Barbie, these ladies know who they are.

The dolls are based on Morticia and Wednesday Addams from the 2019 Addams Family animated movie.

As with any niche collectibles these aren’t cheap they bring with them a $90 price tag, but it’s an investment as a lot of these toys become more valuable over time.

“There goes the neighborhood. Meet the Addams Family’s ghoulishly glamorous mother-daughter duo with a Monster High twist. Inspired by the animated movie and clad in spiderweb lace and skull prints, the Morticia and Wednesday Addams Skullector doll two-pack makes for a gift that’s so macabre, it’s downright pathological.”

If you want to pre-purchase this set check out The Monster High website.
