McFarlane Toys Reveals New Statue from The Walking Dead
Michonne is all about slicing, dicing and enslaving zombies. Her appearance in both the comic and the show injected it with a new life, as a sword-wielding loner type will always go far in life. Her popularity is pretty high, which is a good explanation as to why McFarlane Toys has just revealed a statue bearing her likeness. A statue that just so happens to make zombie-killing look extremely more awesome than it probably actually is.
“Obviously, the sculpting team at McFarlane really outdid themselves. I think this is a really remarkable piece of art,” says "The Walking Dead" Creator Robert Kirkman. “Michonne is a very cool character – she’s definitely the most action-oriented character from the series, and I really liked the idea of letting the McFarlane team run wild, and do their own take on Michonne.”
The meticulous sculpted and hand painted statue, captures Michonne, the woman transformed by pain and loss, as she's thrust into the role of a badass zombie warrior, battling endless hordes of flesh-eaters in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic world. The 14.5 inch high statue comes with a 360 degree rotating base as well, ensuring now instant of the captured attack is missed. It's limited to only 1,500 pieces, with each sequentially numbered piece being hand-signed by The Walking Dead creator Kirkman. As an added bonus, each box will include a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Todd McFarlane.
The statue retails for $295 with free shipping in the US and Canada. Preordering begins at Noon (Eastern Standard Time) on Monday, February 11, 2013. United States and Canada residents can preorder their statues exclusively on the McFarlane Toys Online Store here. It's slated to ship in 3rd quarter 2013.
