Although he's become a valuable member of Rick Grimes' group of survivors on AMC's The Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon will always be a lone wolf at heart. It's just in his nature. Celebrating this strong trait of the crossbow-toting, motorcycle riding warrior is Gentle Giant with the reveal of their new Daryl Dixon "The Lone Wolf" Statue, due out in mid-2015, that features Daryl accompanied by two wolves.
Featuring Daryl in his ever-ready pose: knife drawn, eyes alert, and crossbow against his back, this new statue is the result of a collaboration between Gentle Giant, AMC, and actor Norman Reedus, with the wolves added to reflect the character's personality:
“Shoot me again, you best pray I’m dead.”
Of all the characters who inhabit the post-apocalyptic world of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Daryl Dixon, as portrayed by Norman Reedus, is perhaps the most popular to grace genre television in recent memory. Reedus himself has embraced his huge following and constantly engages with fans and followers across the world, who have affectionately dubbed the anti-hero “The Lone Wolf”.
Gentle Giant Ltd. has partnered with Reedus and AMC to create this iconic statue of Daryl Dixon- on the hunt, flanked by two wolves, perfectly at home in their natural element together. Reedus explains the idea for the statue comes from his fans, who feel the character of Daryl, and Reedus himself, embody the spirit of the rebel, the survivor, the lone wolf.
Each piece is hand-numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity."
200 of these statues are now available to pre-order. This item will be released around the same time as Gentle Giant's Glenn in Riot Gear Statue. To learn more or to place an order, visit:
