Oh, Daryl Dixon...

Promotional poster of The Walking Dead season 2

I am a bit obsessed with The Walking Dead, an American horror series about zombie apocalypse, which is based on the ongoing comic series with the same title. I actually do not read the comic, but I watch the series from the first episode until the latest episode–season 2 episode 5—which was aired on November 13, 2011. Honestly, I was a bit shocked when I first watched it. Dead men (called walkers in this series) walking, drooling, chasing people in order to eat them—those are something I (of course) do not see in my daily life. But then I slowly got "adapted" with all the walkers-eating-human-flesh or walkers-got-stabbed-or-shot-in-the-head scenes. Even I got really interested in one of the characters in The Walking Dead. He is a survivalist with top skills in hunting, killing zombies, tracking, surviving in woods and using his crossbow (a very effective and quiet weapon to kill that won't attract other zombies. Not to mention he can reuse his arrows to kill another zombies. Well, we have to support a reuse and recycle thingy these days, right?). He is.... Daryl Dixon...!!

I was gonna search The Walking Dead comic, but I read on the internet that Daryl is not on the actual comic. So... I suddenly have no intention to read it. Hahaha. Sorry...

When I browsed on the internet earlier today, I read that McFarlane is going to release a 4 or 4 1/2 inch action figure of Daryl next month! I saw the picture and I want it. The face of the figure quite represents Norman Reedus (cast of Daryl Dixon), even though the joints on his arms are not too smooth. Or maybe because he's wearing sleeveless shirt that show the connecting parts on his arms. Well, it doesn't really matter for me. I still want this action figure... It comes with the crossbow, axe and even a string of dead squirrels.
