Review: The Walking Dead Building Sets by McFarlane Toys - The Governor's Room.

Hi guys! I know I'm a little late with my next review, but it's here! A review on The Governors Room from the TWD Building Sets! Let's get to it! :)

First of all, for those who don't know what it looks like, here is a photo:


Now for the details. Basically it comes with a green board with holes all over, with guided instructions, directing you where to put each piece. As you can see, there are grommets all over the individual pieces, all you do is lay it on the appropriate place and push it in to position.



Here's a little table or storage holder I believe.

Then The Governor, his chair and side table! You build the side table yourself, there's a couple bits you put together, the chair slots in-to position and The Governor just sits on top, he is also to be put together. 

His undead Daughter, Penny, also comes equipped with her bucket of guts. There's a little clear holder on her foot, to keep her up right. She comes in two halves, cut at the waist. The bag does not remove.

The fish tanks are super cool! The tanks don't come in one block, they are individual. The heads are also not inside the tanks, I randomly selected where I put them. Then you slot them in-to place, either by the photo in the instructions, like me, or how you'd prefer. Then you just add the lids!


They light up too!


The switch is on the left side of the building set.

The other switch is awkward to get to, it's down the side of the grey box on the right hand side. I use a knife to turn this side on. Just be careful that you don't scratch the set or hurt yourself.

The door in which Penny was imprisoned, but the door doesn't lead to a room, it's just for show.

The detail on the wall is great!

Here's a view from the outside of the set.

Overall this is GREAT! I had tuns of fun building this. It took me about 20-30 minutes. It requires batteries, but they come with the set. I leave my lights off though, so it doesn't drain the battery.

I love this whole thing, the detail is great. My only complaint is that the switch for the right side of the fish tank is really awkward to get to, you can pull the piece up to turn the light on, but it may fall apart and you'd have to put it back together again, it'd be awkward, or be difficult to place back down. Other than that, it's rad!

I got mine off of eBay, for £39.99, I'd say you can get it off of Amazon too and also ShopTheWalkingDead.com.

I'd definitely recommend this for all TWD fans, there are a lot of small pieces, so if there are some 'lil asskickers out there, be sure to have adult supervision. :)

I guess that's it! I hope you enjoyed this photo depth review! I found it was easier to mainly do photos for this review, there isn't much to say other than how cool it is and how to put it together. :)



I have tons of figures, so if there's anything precise that you'd like me to review, let me know in the comments. I have tuns of other stuff other than the figures too, so if you don't see what you'd like me to review in the photo, still let me know, as I may still have it. :)


I may review Daryl's Chopper Building Set next. :)





Until next time my walkers... stay alive. 
Bye! :)
