In 1992, the very first Spawn comic book hit the shelves setting a sales record for an independent comic book. A few years later, in 1995, the first Spawn action figure was released into toy stores like KB Toys, Babbage's and Toys R Us. Met with critical acclaim, the toy line helped usher in a whole new way of giving you detail and "art" to your action figures. And just last year, Spawn became the longest-running creator-owned comic book series of all time.
Now, twenty-five years later, Todd McFarlane is joining forces with Kickstarter to deliver an updated version of that original 1995 Spawn action figure and comic release!
You'll find more details via the official press release below.
The new Original Spawn Action Figure and Comic Remastered (2020) figure will be 7-inches tall and come with a huge folding cape and weapon. The articulation in this version will be more than double what the original action figure had, and the included comic cover will be remastered by the international award-winning artist and creator of the Spawn character, Todd McFarlane.
The figure and comic will come in a collector box with a slipcover to help preserve the condition of the figure, comic, and packaging. And speaking of the actual blister packaging, it will mimic the original design from the classic action figure of 1995, though upgrades will be all across the final product.
A new resealable shell will be used so that you may take out your Spawn action figure and comic for display, but also be able to return them both into their packaging as you have never opened it in the first place!
Finally, if you choose, you can get an autograph by Todd McFarlane himself. Todd will be personally signing a nameplate that can be used for display with your Spawn action figure and comic. And each autographed item will also come with a bonus weapon: A reimagining, hyper-detailed updated version of the wooden plank weapon from that original Spawn action figure from 1995.
To simplify this offering, there will be only four levels: A "Classic" costume version. A "Modern" costume version (with new head), an "Artist Proof" (what we're calling the "black & white"), and lastly, the 3-pack bundle which will include a Classic, Modern and Black & White figure. The latter two figures are getting new head sculpt! The first three levels will be offered with or without an autograph while the 3-Pack will only be offered with an autograph. And each of the single figures will have a new never-seen-before cover remastered by Todd McFarlane himself.
The backing levels range from $40 to $160 based on the offerings.
