• The Daryl Dixon figure includes 20 points of articulation and additional accessories like bookmarks and his crossbow.

Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus, and is easily the embodiment of survival in The Walking Dead. He is an original character that AMC created and was not actually the hit Image Comics Walking Dead series. Initially introduced as a rough, lone wolf, Daryl quickly became a fan-favorite, which would even lead to his own solo series with Daryl Dixon after The Walking Dead ended its TV run. Daryl is now back as McFarlane Toys debuts the return of The Walking Dead to their action figure collection. This new line of figures comes in at 5" tall, and this version of Daryl will feature his angel wings stitched biker vest and signature crossbow.

There are a few questionable things about this line, beginning with why it's 5" and not the standard universal 6" scale figure. Every toy line McFarlane Toys releases is a random size besides 6", allowing it to always stand out, and not in a good way, for any collection. Secondly, Daryl Dixon is one of the main faces of TWD, and this head sculpt is wild and poorly captures the likeness of Norman Reedus. McFarlane Toys states that they use a 3D scan of the actor to get the likeness, but it's not there. Maybe an updated figure will be featured once it is released, so in the meantime, The Walking Dead fans can pre-order Daryl today for $19.99 with a September 2024 release.
