Longtime lurker here, I've been intending to join up for ages just so I can say how much I've been enjoying the line but never got around to it. It's a shame that the recent announcement is what has spurred me into action but I feel that any and all feedback is important at this stage.First of all @spawnshop , I have really enjoyed and appreciated your participation within the community and this is what has contributed to me buying into the line to the extent that I have. I haven't collected action figures except for the odd Star Wars guy since I was a teen, but when I saw how good TWD figures were getting and being comfortably in my 30's with disposable income and a passive interest in new toys, decided to buy the odd one or two starting with Glenn and Maggie. Then I needed a Rick, Darryl, Carl and so forth. I then stumbled upon this forum and various other social media in which McFarlane partake in and enjoyed the way the company interacted with the fans and listened to what their needs. For this reason, I bought into the line and now I pretty much buy all I can to support it and do my part to ensure it's continuation.Anyway, moving on from the boring backstory, the recent announcement of a change in scale has left a bad taste in my mouth and I'm on the fence now as whether I'll even get series 9, which I was very much excited about. I can understand why a change of scale is good in a business sense but such a major change was sure to alienate fans who have been loyal and frankly I expected better. I thought the line was doing quite well, yes, the zombies may have a harder time at retail, but I believe limited articulation is at play here. I love the comic series zombies such as the punk and pin-cushion but the burnt walker and swamp walker not so much. Also, the odd exclusive is just not gonna cut it (if that's even a remote possibility), they just don't make their way over to Australia.I can't see myself investing in 7inch scale now and I highly doubt that it will end up covering most, if any, of the B list characters such as Rosita, Sasha etc let alone C list and beyond. I'll just go back to having a passive interest and see how it goes.I guess all I can is that I hope our feedback is heard loud and clear but if not thanks for the memories!
