A small footnote: in his Attack of the Living Dead: Earl<\/a> review, Poe said, \"Yes, in what may be an action figure first, Earl has removable intestines. They're rubbery and disgusting in the great tradition of gross toys.\"<\/p>\n

Yes, it is a great tradition, but \"action figure first?\" That's not entirely accurate. There have been a handful (ha!) of figures over the years that have done just that, starting in 1998:<\/p>\n

1998: McFarlane's Monsters<\/i> playsets: Frankenstein's monster<\/a>
\n1999: Spawn<\/i> 13: Hatchet<\/a>
\n1999: Spawn<\/i> 13: Raenius<\/a>
\n2000: Spawn<\/i> 17: Clown III<\/a>
\n2002: McFarlane's Monsters<\/i>: Werewolf<\/a>
\n2002: Attack of the Clones<\/i>: Acklay<\/a>
\n2003: Twisted Land of Oz<\/i>: Cowardly Lion<\/a>
\n2003: Empire Strikes Back<\/i>: Tauntaun<\/a>
\n2006: AotLD<\/i>: Earl<\/b>
\n2011: Walking Dead<\/i>: Lurker Zombie<\/a>
\n2012: Walking Dead<\/i>: Well Zombie<\/a>
\n2013: Walking Dead<\/i>: Penny Blake<\/a><\/p>\n

That makes Earl an \"action figure ninth,\" at least! Anyone know any more?<\/p>\n
