Sasha is Finally Getting Her First “The Walking Dead” Action Figure
One of the great things about “The Walking Dead” is that it features strong characters of all shapes, sizes, genders, ages, and ethnicities. You’d be hard-pressed to find another show on TV right now with a more diverse group of actors, and that’s just one of the many aspects of the AMC series that I admire. That representation, we’ve been happy to see, extends to the toy shelf.
ComicBook.com just unveiled the very first action figure of Sonequa Martin-Green’s Sasha from McFarlane’s long-running “The Walking Dead” toy line. The 5″ figure, exclusively hitting Walgreens this coming July, is based on the character’s Season 7 appearance, and it features a spectacular likeness of Sasha taken from 3D scans of actress Sonequa Martin-Green.
The figure comes packaged with a scoped assault rifle, pistol, and knife. Like all the toys in the line, it’s designed with 22+ points of articulation for dynamic posing.
Per McFarlane’s official description:
Fierce and pragmatic with a dead-eye shot, Sasha is a formidable individual, yet is no stranger to the harsh reality of the state of the world. Hardened by the loss of those she loves, Sasha became distant and detached from the fellow survivors, but finds purpose in strengthening their community instead of dwelling in her grief.
Check out the Sasha toy below and look for her this summer!
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
