His eyes are expressionless and he appears in movement without purpose. This 16 1\/4-inch tall statue captures the likeness of actor Michael Rooker in all his undead glory.<\/p>\n<p>The Merle Dixon Walker Statue is a limited edition of only 570 pieces. Each hand-painted statue comes individually numbered and is paired with a matching certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>Merle Dixon is not a simple character. His story begins as a stereotypical brutal redneck with a chip on his shoulder, but Merle develops into a tragic figure seeking redemption. This change of heart is the cause of his demise &#8211; murder and reanimation. This statue represents Merle when he is no longer Merle, but merely a Walker who looks like him.<\/p>\n<h4>&raquo; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/prodinfo.asp?number=GE80374&#038;id=EN-407186506\" target=\"_blank\">Order Walking Dead TV Series Merle Dixon Walker 1:4 Scale Statue<\/a><\/h4>\n[justified_image_grid preset=1 ids=&#8221;12360,12361,12362,12363,12364,12365&#8243; thumbs_spacing=5 row_height=200 height_deviation=30 caption=off overlay=hovered overlay_color=#111111 overlay_opacity=0.4 outer_border_width=2 outer_border_color=#cccccc lightbox=prettyphoto margin=&#8221;10px 0&#8243; mobile_caption=off mobile_overlay=off]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You got to play the hand you&#8217;re dealt.
