[Toys] Rockin’ “The Walking Dead” Michonne Statue From McFarlane Toys!
The meticulous sculpted and hand-painted statue captures Michonne, the woman transformed by pain and loss, as she is thrust into the role of a badass zombie warrior and battles endless hordes of flesh-eaters in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic world.
The beautifully detailed piece shows fan-favorite Michonne doing what she does best: killing walkers with not one, but two swords! The statue stands approximately 14.5 inches high and comes with a 360-degree rotating, highly detailed gory base so you can view the gruesome action at every angle. This statue is limited to no more than 1,500 pieces, with each sequentially numbered piece being hand-signed by “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman. As an added bonus, each box will include a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Todd McFarlane.
The limited edition statue retails at $295 with FREE Shipping (only available in US and Canada). Pre-ordering begins at 12:00 boon (EST) on Monday, February 11, 2013. United States and Canada residents can pre-order their statues exclusively from the McFarlane Toys Online Store.
With acute attention to every decaying detail, the Michonne statue was created, developed and designed by Todd McFarlane and his award-winning McFarlane Toys design group, in conjunction with Robert Kirkman and Skybound Entertainment.
“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.”
This resin statue is planned to ship 3rd Quarter 2013.

R-Rated ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ Director’s Cut Gets New Title and Streaming Premiere Date
After a slight delay, Disney has finally announced a new streaming date for the R-Rated director’s cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe. According to Gizmodo, it’ll also come with a new title.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn begins streaming on Hulu on August 14.
The new cut was first teased in an interview with director Chris Carter on the Fail Better With David Duchovny podcast from last year, where he teased a much scarier movie he intended.
“Now I have a chance to go back and make the scary movie that I always intended to make,” Carter explained last year. “It’s not just doing a Director’s Cut to do a Director’s Cut. It’s really kind of bringing to life something that for me was on the page and never got to the screen.“
The director’s cut of the film was initially set to arrive on Disney+ in June, but quietly disappeared from the schedule without a word. Polygon reported the delay was “due to some last-minute adjustments being made to the film.”
The release’s new “Vrach Frankenshteyn” title certainly suggests those adjustments have been made, likely referring to a Frankensteining of bonus footage.
In the film, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) have been out of the FBI for several years, with Mulder living in isolation and Scully having become a doctor at a Catholic hospital, where she has formed a bond with a critically ill child patient.
When an FBI agent is mysteriously kidnapped, and a former Catholic priest who has been convicted of pedophilia claims to be experiencing psychic visions of the endangered agent, Scully is asked to bring Mulder back to the bureau to consult on the case because of his work with psychics.
The brand new R-rated cut will “faithfully restore the filmmaker’s original vision.”
Look for it on Hulu next month.
