Has anyone found the 5" Negan Walgreens Exclusive in stores yet? And has anyone purchased the 10" Negan statue yet? I'm looking for opinions to see if the 10" is worth it? I haven't found him on the East coast yet, but he's on 3bay at a ridiculously high price.

Saw the 7" Dwight today at the Monroe NY WalMart. I️ got Dwight about a month ago. A bit of an off figure but not bad. It’s very thin. Get these for my NECA customs and ended up having to use a Daryl torso since the Dwight one was so thin and curved.

I got my Skybound exclusive Beta in the mail last week. I really love the detail on the figure, but they may have gone a bit overboard on the scale. He looks to be the same size of a smaller WWE Mattel Elite figure lol. Although I'm thrilled to have the character in my collection, I may eventually get a second one to modify the height on.

Got any comparison pics? I don't visit the site too often, but I'll try to post something soon. The Beta figure is 6 inches tall, maybe a tad more. I put a Rick next to it, and the highest point of his hair barely reached the lowest part of Beta's shoulder. The height itself isn't really the issue I suppose. In the comics, Negan was shown to be considerably taller than everyone else, yet Beta still towered over him. So I can believe the idea that the figure is supposed to represent a guy that's in the neighborhood of 7'0. But the overall scale of the parts is what makes the figure mesh poorly with the rest of the line. Everything is just a bit too wide and/or bulky. If you've ever seen the Assassin's Creed figures McFarlane did a few years ago, Beta is pretty much in that scale, if not bigger.

Not sure if you're up to date on the comics, but Beta was revealed to be a former NBA player, so that's why he covers his face. And that explains why he's so tall.

For anyone interested, a second GI Joe themed set is up for pre-order at Skybound. It's the villains of the series this time around, under the moniker of "Lucille Patrol". Alpha, Beta, Negan, and The Governor (looks to be a repaint of his swat gear exclusive) all done in barbed wire themed paint apps.
To be perfectly blunt, these things look hideous thanks to the bad color choices lol. Negan looks silly in a full grey attire (the jacket is a slightly darker shade to accommodate the barbed wire design), with what looks to be a dull mustard colored belt/sheath combo. The Governor is an ugly mish-mash of colors. Bright banana yellow shirt, dark green body armor, light grey pants, and burgundy holsters. Beta has an ugly pea green jacket with the barbed wire designs done in yellow. Alpha is the only passable one, but not by much.
Just like with the Shiva Force set, the packaging is the best part. It's charming for what it is as a display piece, and that's about it.

I’ll be buying my first few detolf shelf’s in the following weeks & I plan on opening all of my TWD Mcfarlane figures for the first time ( I’ve been collecting them for some time now)
I am brainstorming on some ideas for a small Diorama, any members here have TWD Diorama photos they could possibly share?

I did see a single carded Negan at Walgreens last week, but I passed on it because I have the 2-Pack.
