Check out my interview with The Walking Dead producer Gale Anne Hurd here. SPOILERS if you haven’t seen season 2 finale yet.
In it she talks about her work on the show and the fact that more people saw the season 2 finale than there are people living in Sweden…
Dread Central had this info about the next set of Walking Dead TV action figures:
Rick Grimes 2 – The small-town sheriff-turned-hero and leader of the survivors during the zombie apocalypse, Rick continues to struggle with his moral convictions in Season Two. Rick will be featured as a brand-new sculpt in his civilian attire, prevalent in Season Two.
Shane Walsh – Rick’s partner and loyal friend became the antagonist of Season Two. Shane will be featured in tactical attire with his newly buzzed haircut.
Bicycle Girl Zombie – The maimed zombie girl shown crawling next to her bicycle in a park turned out to be one of the most iconic zombies from Season One. She is also the first zombie Deputy Rick Grimes encountered in the series opener.
Well Zombie – A rotten, bloated zombie surprise resting at the bottom of Hershel’s water well that the survivors eventually attempt to hoist out by using Glen as bait. This is by far one of the sickest looking zombies seen yet on the series, and this figure is one dead-on, stomach-churning replica.
RV Zombie – During the opening scene of Season Two, one of the most intense scenes happens as a mob of flesh-eating zombies swarm the group. Unaware of the flesh-eating zombie onslaught, Andrea becomes trapped in the recreational vehicle when one climbs aboard. Under attack from this “RV” Zombie, Andrea fights back, stabbing the zombie in the eyeball with a screwdriver.
Each human figure includes multiple interchangeable accessories and several points of articulation for limitless playability and customization. Each zombie figure features unique, gory play action. Figures are expected to sell for around $12.99 to $14.99 at stores nationwide.

Here is an exclusive look at issue #95 of the comic.
Glen Mazzara talks about who from the comics he wants in the TV series.
“I think the Tyrese character is someone we are interested in introducing at some point,” said Mazzara. “We still have Morgan and Dwayne, who are out there from the pilot. We are interested in them. There are new characters that will be original to the series. Not coming straight from the comic book.”

Congratulations!
I’m working on a character page where I’ll ad a listing of all (or at least there will be when I’m done) the major characters in The Walking Dead. I have listed both the comic version and the TV version (if the character exists in both medias). I have also listed who plays them in the TV series, when we first see them and when they died (if they have). So, needless to say, there are spoilers on this page. Both if someone’s alive or dead (hover over the photo to see their status) and about characters that might not have appeared in either media yet. So, in other words, read this page with that in mind, OK?
With that said, please let me know what you think about it. There are A LOT of characters to ad but comments are welcome!
