Walking Dead toys at Walmart

I went to Walmart today and went to the toy section. (Still hoping to find new 21st Century and FOV. I'm entitled to fanaticize.) I saw Walking Dead figures, prison fences, guard tower, etc. The figures are @ 1/35. What caught my eye was the prison stuff. The products were a little pricey, fences with barbed wire and foliage @$29 and the guard tower and shack @$39. I immediately started to think about making a base/fort. I did not buy anything but at least it got my creative thoughts going...

These have been a Toys-R-Us exclusive up until now. Good to see they are at Walmart. On the single blind bag there is a "w" or "h" in the upper corner to denote a walker or human.

I did not see them at TRU. The product at Walmart said sold exclusively at Walmart...

those are McFarlane Toys. Check the scale, it's not like McF to make something to a useful scale, they are usually oddball. Figures could be 3 inch (ie 1/24) or they could be smaller than 1/35.

They're probably smaller than 1/35. Years ago McFarlane made 1/30ish soldiers: modern US army and marines. I wish they would have made more...

i remember i was pretty frustrated by McF and his refusal to make 4 inch scaled figures. Everything was 6 inch and 3 inch. And now in recent years 5 inch. I hate to speak ill of a fellow Canadian but i think he's a bit of a knob.
