There have been plenty of great domestically released action figures available at retail this year, but none was more original than the Zombie Lurker from the first wave of McFarlane Toys' The Walking Dead comic book series. In fact, this figure reminds us how groundbreaking McFarlane Toys was when they took the action figure aisle over by Sheer Force in the 90's. Make no mistake, what we have these days can be traced back to their original offerings.
For the last few years, McFarlane Toys seemed to have the passion of a neutered cat, but if the Zombie Lurker is the template for what they have in store for us in 2012, we only hope their offerings are once more seen as a challenge to the other companies competing for shelf space at your local department store, and once again McFarlane Toys brings forth a new revolution in action figure design!
