In the past, The Walking Dead has used Comic Con International in a major way. Most notably, a trailer for the upcoming season of the hit AMC zombie survival drama is typically shown and more information about casting as well as filming have been revealed. But there is more than just that fantastic news to look forward to, as there are also exclusives for those in attendance.
This year, the exclusive The Walking Dead item available at the event is a pair of action figures. Available in black-and-white and full color, the duo on display will be Negan from The Saviors and Glenn Rhee during the event, which will be held from July 21st through July 24th of 2016.
Here is the photo shared by Skybound along with the announcement on ComicBook.com:
Of course, fans of the comics know about the connection between Glenn and Negan, but those unfamiliar also know that Glenn is part of the lineup that Negan had at the end of season 6 of AMC’s The Walking Dead. While fans shouldn’t read too much into this, it is interesting that this set was chosen to be the exclusive.
Of course, this set won’t be cheap. The excellent package with interchangeable parts and weapons will set fans back $50, but that should be considered an investment for fans who like collect this merchandise. On the other hand, casual fans who just want to open them to play with the toys can know they have something rare, special, and unique in their possession.
