McFarlane Is Making Daryl Dixon on His Bike, Complete With Controversial Logo
 |
Todd’s feeling the Norman Reedus love – on the heels of announcing a 10-inch Daryl Dixon Walking Dead figure, he’s now making a fully articulated Daryl-on-bike box set, something he once told me in an interview that Reedus has been bugging him to make since day one.
The figure is up for preorder at BigBadToyStore, though I’m pretty sure the image they have is of a photo posed to look like a toy rather than any final product. There’s just one little itty bitty potential probem I foresee (emphasis mine):
This brand new sculpt portrays Daryl in his angel wings stitched biker vest and includes approximately 20 points of articulation, hunting knife and new crossbow. Daryl’s transportation of choice in this apocalyptic world is his brother Merle’s black chopper motorcycle. The first vehicle produced for The Walking Dead action figure line, this iconic chopper includes the lightning-bolt insignia on the tank, skull decal, and saddlebags.
What, this “lightning-bolt” insignia?

Anybody see a possible issue there? It looks like something other than lightning to me.
