McFarlane agrees new licensing agreement with AMC for The Walking Dead

McFarlane has announced another new licensing agreement, this time with AMC for The Walking Dead Universe. This is a return to a property McFarlane created products for back in 2016 through 2018 as part of the Color Tops line. This new announcement is not specific about what products we may see - but we'd expect the 7-inch figures to be a likely output. Read the full press release below.



Los Angeles, Calif. February 27, 2024 - McFarlane Toys, a leader in the collectibles category, proudly announces the signing of a new licensing agreement with AMC for The Walking Dead Universe.


This strategic partnership allows McFarlane Toys to bring both physical and digital collectibles to fans worldwide, spanning the expansive The Walking Dead Universe, including the latest series, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, with new episodes currently airing Sundays on AMC and AMC+, following the epic love story of two fan-favorite characters, Rick and Michonne.

We are thrilled to rekindle our collaboration with the AMC team on this iconic franchise, to bring fans an extraordinary collection of high-quality collectibles,” said Cristy Collins, Vice President of Licensing at McFarlane Toys.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
