Review: The Walking Dead Building Sets by McFarlane Toys - Daryl's Chopper.

Hi guys! So I'm back with my second Blogpost of the week. A review on Daryl's Chopper from the new Building Sets series. Lets get to it!

First of all, here is a photo of what it looks like:
It includes Daryl, his chopper and one walker, the one on the right. I explain later on why there is another walker. :)
This is great quality and I love the detail!

Like the previous building set, it's a grey board with grommets all over. Each individual piece places on-to four grommets, like so. (The set comes with picture instructions)




And voilĂ ! :)

Daryl is great, I believe he comes in a couple pieces, so he has to be put together. 


They included his awesome waistcoat!

The walkers are great too!


These two come with the actual set.


Now the grass is really hard to install. Each bit of grass comes with a pointy tip, in which you slot in-to the holes, I'd advise you to start at the back and work your way up, if not, you'll just knock it all over. It gets frustrating if you don't have patience, luckily, I maintained my patience, haha! Tweezers may help. :) 

Some holes will be left with-out grass. I can't remember if I chose to do it that way, or if there just wasn't enough grass. I think there wasn't enough grass, I can't remember. Sorry guys!

The railing just slots in-to place like everything else.


Now when I got this for Christmas, I had also been bought a little set of mini figures, that included: Rick, Merle and Three Walkers. I chose to put Rick on the set, as I love Rick and Daryl to always be together, as well as another two walkers.





This is what I did with Merle and the other walker:
I couldn't get the one in blue's legs' to slot in-to the body properly, so I just laid him on my shelf with no legs, as a 'melted in-to the floor' walker. :)



So yeah! That's it!

The only thing I can fault is, like I said, how fiddly the grass is to put in. You could glue it in, if you can't get it to stay. Mine's fine now, as I only move it when I'm dusting it, or the shelf.

I got this off of eBay for £30.00, I'd say you can get it off of Amazon too, as well as ShopTheWalkingDead.com.

I hope you like this review, I'd highly recommend this to any TWD fan! :)

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