Grabbed these today. So pumped to have Daryl now. The zombies looked great too but at $15 a pop I stuck with these two. They had two of these Rick's and then 2 Black & White versions with blood splatter. They had 2 Daryl's and then 3 or 4 each of the two Zombies. Sorry the pictures suck but they are with my iPhone and I wanted to update to let everyone know they have hit.

Cool my preorder for TV Series 1 shipped yesterday from spamS. You found those at mass retail? or Online? And was the Black & white Rick from the TV series line also? as I hadn't heard about that one.

And was the Black & white Rick from the TV series line also? as I hadn't heard about that one. I found them at retail, ToysRus this morning. And yes, it was TV version Rick in the b&w/grey. I'm like 90% sure he had blood splatter, at least on one of the two black & white versions they had. I have the black and white and color versions of the comic book Rick so I was content with just this one for the TV series so I passed on the black/white version. In retrospect I wish I would have taken a picture at the store but I didn't even think about it.

Thanks. My set will be here Thursday. Maybe I'll look for the B&W Rick today. Also it looks like Rick's lower body (hips) have a different articulation points than Daryl's. It looks like Rick has a "V" cut crotch and no upper thigh cut. Is that correct or are the cuts hidden by the lighting?

Bloody B&W Rick is a TRU exclusive. I'm not in a HUGE hurry to pick these up, I'm a much bigger fan of the comic line, but if I buy myself a battery grip for my new Canon, I'll grab the set. Glad to see these are FINALLY out.

Daryl has a really weird right knee joint, and it made him a bit hard to stand up because you adjust the thigh and them the knee only moves left and right.

Do it! The figure takes a beating in most reviews, mainly because "he doesn't hold the crossbow right" - which he totally can. It's a great figure.
Ordered Rick and the b&w Rick from TRU last night. Can't wait to get those and check 'em out! The store I have here that is carrying 'em had two full pegs, not a single Grimes among the lot.

Daryl looks great, saw all of these last night at TRU but I already have my order from spamS in the mail (expected to arrive Friday) so I had to exercise patience to not buy the whole set when I saw it

I hit TRU today hoping to get both versions of Grimes to hold me over until my spamS order arrives Thursday, but all they had were the bloody Grimes comic figure. One thing from the MOC pics I'm a little upset with is that Rick doesn't come with his hat as an accessory also.

I almost bought that figure at TRU yesterday....but $14.99 for a figure the size of a G.I Joe.....couldn't do it. Back in the day figures that size were going for $4.99 - $7.99. It sucks.....I'm finding myself not buying stuff just because I can't justify the prices based on the size of the items.

I found that the Zombies were a little lacking when compared to Rick & Daryl as far as value for the price went. Rick & Daryl have all those accessories and the zombies? One comes with a piece of dear meat and the other is a wind-up "walking" figure that really only waddles in place. I posted pics of all 4 here - www.pointsofarticulation.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=52643#52643
