This is the first 8" NECA i've seen here

I nabbed that guy, but had to go through Amazon. Never played the game, but love the colors!

Awesome! I am going to check the ToysRuS tomorrow. Hope this is a good sign for POTA, Snake, and future releases in retro style!

Edit: I'll be damned, he is on the website as well!

I was pretty excited until I checked the ToysRuS US site and they have most if not all of the clothed figures. I hope this means good things for the future!

Weird that I got it in the burbs.

Axe wielding homicidal maniacs have finally been admitted to Toys R Us!

Whether this makes a difference or not depending where you stand on the issue, but they have their own section in the video game area, as opposed to being sold with the "children" toys. I feel bad but I never realized the Walking Dead toys were in with the children toys for quite a while (at baby eye level, too!).

Wow. That's a rare find considering that original batch of figures sold out so fast. This could be a sign that more special edition figures are being manufactured, which is great news! He's a cool figure too. I nabbed mine off Ebay. Nice find Brian!

I didn't really want to make a statement, but considering that Django Unchained got such a rough deal, it's sometimes amazing that characters like Jason and Freddy have clearly moved to the "fairly harmless to kids" side. And as you said, apparently Walking Dead as well.
But even if they have their own section in the video game area, it's accessible to all, right?
I still feel that it all depend on the individual whether or not these figures would "influence" anyone. I've always loved horror, but grew up pretty "non-violent". Unless it's Paris Hilton and Justin Bieber, I'd totally chase them with an axe...

To get back to topic: It's great that Neca 8" has entered to general toy circuit, I think it means they're doing well, which is the whole point!

I've already had some luck finding NECA at TRU, but I'm headed there again ASAP because there are a couple I still need that I have been trying to avoid shipping on. If they are on the website I can probably ship them to my store free, which is cool.
