Those of you who opened Negan, did you find that the swivel at the knee is really loose? Mine stands very well and solid, but the knee joint spins really loose. Anyone else?

I picked this up today at a store called Go Toys in the Paramus Park mall. We went out today in a torrential rain because I was hoping to find the variant Funko 3.75" Adam West Batman variants at Books a Million, but they didn't have them yet. We did avoid a car spinning out of control and hydroplaning in front of us into a ditch on the GSP though. ( I had called it to my wife as I saw them racing down the road in my mirror) Anyway after all that I decided to pick up the Negan so it wasn't a total waste of a trip.

Went to Walmart and was looking in the WWE section where I found a lone 6inch Negan. Are there multiple versions cause that one said Walmart exclusive on it? Only bought it for the barbed wire bat.

My mom moved out to Palm Desert about 25 years ago. Which figures did you find? The last time I was out there (about 20 years ago) my wife found me a BtAS Clayface at a Walgreens.

When I found my bloody Negan at Walmart last week, there was at least 10 of him on the shelf. This week two. So he's selling well around here.

Is the non-bloody Negan regularly available yet? I haven't seen him in stores yet but I'm going to SDCC next week and hoping to find one for a NECA custom.

Still curious about where the premise for this blood-stained, Negan comes from.

For those who have had luck finding the Walmart "Bloody" Negan... what isle was it found in? The stores around here don't seem to be ones who would stock any McFarlane toys, let alone a bloody version.

I got my regular Negan in today from spamS. It's a good figure, though I think the painting on the head sculpt is oddly the weakest effort from McFarlane to date on these TWD Color Tops. I also still find it annoying how the figures have an awkward floating/leaning appearance due to the limited articulation at the feet. If he's gonna be stubborn with fully converting the line like they're doing other Color Tops releases (I'm pretty sure the upcoming Marcus Fenix has the same articulation as recent 5 inch TWD figures), I wish McFarlane would at least add more ankle articulation to keep these things standing flat.
Also, totally unrelated, I really need to grab more of those NECA clear stands. Or invest in other stands all together. The default ones that come with these are becoming a nuisance on my display shelf. I have to spin them at odd angles to get my figures looking good for display. It defeats the purpose of using them, on top of all the space they take up.

Picked up the Series 10 Sasha yesterday in southern NH. Looks like a pretty great figure. Glad Walgreens is still sticking with these 5" figures. Can't wait for October and the Negan 5" to release!

So with the 7" series supposedly not selling well, what are the chances they would take the line back down to the 5" series? Anything is possible, but I kind of doubt it. Everything sort of seems at a stand-still with the line. Even the comic series of figures has gone completely MIA since the last release months ago. Still no word on Jesus seeing the light of day in Color Tops form, and really the only figures on the horizon are Dwight, Ezekiel, 10in Negan, and his 2pk with Glenn. I'm inclined to believe we'll see some more stuff before years end (an easy assumption is protos of Sasha/Aaron in Color Tops scale, and the opposite for Dwight/Ezekiel for the Walgreen's 5in line) but it's very likely those 5 will be it for retail releases in 2017. McFarlane probably isn't going to willingly let go of the license, so I'm sure they'll keep trying to make things work until the bitter end. They seem to have converted the old 5in style of articulation to some of their other Color Tops figures. My guess is that will be the next step for the Walking Dead figures, in an effort to lure some collectors back in. At this point, with the incredibly limited releases, I'm not sure if it's anywhere near enough. The one interesting note is how Walgreen's seems to be extending it's efforts towards store-exclusive series of some lines . My fingers are crossed that maybe McFarlane expands to doing a legitimate series of the 5in line for Walgreen's starting next year. Maybe on a quarterly schedule, with a series of 3-5 figures each time.
