In my country The Walking Dead figures are quite expensive (about 60 dollars a piece) and i wasn´t very happy with the zombie Merle figure McFarlane put out so i did my own with a spare broken TV s3 figure i bought for a very cheap price (he was missing his bayonet wich was perfect because at this time in the series he has a custom made prison shank).
Base figure it´s a TV s3 Merle Dixon figure repainted. I repainted the face, made an entry and exit shot wound (McFarlane´s doesn´t have it), painted the knees, the shirt black, the eyes and face and made a custom shank for his prostetic arm. Pretty happy with this being my first custom.
