Today, on his Facebook page, Todd McFarlane gave fans a very positive update on his newly released ‘The Walking Dead’ construction sets that are now on sale at Toys R Us (they are exclusive to TRU for the remainder of 2014).   He also gave fans an early look at a set that will be coming later in 2015.

Here is the body of his update:

THANK YOU!!!! All of you that have been supporting us with our The Walking Dead building sets (now on sale at Toys ”R” Us).
You’ve made this a HUGE success for us! So here’s a SNEAK PEEK at one of next years toy building sets.

Two weeks ago we had our best week of sale yet (beating even the ‘Black Friday’ sales week). Then the numbers came in from last week and they were DOUBLE our best sales week so far (and some of those earlier weeks were very strong!) So, again, thank you.

That means we will continue making these sets for you as we try and get as creative as we can (with both the builds and the figures). Below are a few photos of a Prototype we’ve made of the Boiler Room from inside the Prison Block. I just wanted to share with you the cool detail that will be on this build, and the scale of it. Ignore the figure standing in it as it will be a Rick Grimes (The Walking Dead) human figure and another Walker figure. I just put it in there so you could see how big the set will be. My hand might help too!

We’ll have this set coming out in the back half of 2015, and it should be selling for about $19. I’ll post some more of our upcoming sets/figures in the future.

See you around.

TODD
