Back in March, Diamond Select Toys sent over the Toys ‘R’ Us assortment of The Walking Dead Series 5 Minimates to review. This week, then sent over the Comic Store assortment for me to take a look at.

Like all of the Minimates sets, each 2pk comes with some accessories. Let’s take a closer look at each 2pk.

• Caesar Martinez and Geek Zombie (rare variant)

The Caesar and Geek Zombie 2pk is the short packed 2pk for the case assortment, therefore being “rare”. Caesar comes with a couple of guns. The Geek Zombie is the same from the Survivor Morgan 2pk.

All in all, I like the path Diamond Select Toys is take with both this assortment and the Toys ‘R’ Us assortment. By combining popular characters with ones that are more obscure, they are making those avid fans of the comic book series very happy.
