Spawn Remastered Kickstarter 001

McFarlane Toys has released an update ahead of their Kickstarter Campaign going live. They are looking to crowdfund a fully remastered version of the original Spawn action figure, along with a completely redrawn Spawn #1 by Todd McFarlane. The details have confirmed this will be an articulated 7″ scale action figure. They specifically mention it will be “more than double what the original toy had”. The figure will include four interchangeable portraits, a gun, and a club. There will be three versions available. Those include a Classic Costume Version, a Modern Costume Version, and an Artist Proof Black and White Version. You will also be able to back a 3-Pack featuring all three versions. The packaging will be a collector friendly resealable shell box.

The figures are priced at $50 $40 each, with a special $85 $80 version including an autographed Todd McFarlane placard. The campaign begins at some point today. Keep an eye on the official The Original SPAWN Action Figure & Comic Remastered (2020) Kickstarter Page for when the campaign goes live. If any additional info is launched with the campaign, we’ll add it to this post. Check out full details and some photos and 3D renders after the jump.

Marvel Legends Demogoblin Wave 999

As we all hunker down and wait out the crazy going on in the world I figured I’d run a semi-recent wave of Marvel Legends for a shoot. The Spider-Man Demogoblin Wave. I got a couple promo copies, then ran into a couple more in trade, and finally decided to finish it off through purchases. The wave consists of Velocity Suit Spider-Man and Spider-Armor MK III from the PS4 game, comic Vulture, Superior Octopus, Shang-Chi, and White Rabbit. The Build A Figure is Demogoblin.

Different folks will dig different figs here. I loved the PS4 game, but all the ML versions released so far haven’t hit for me, including these two. Vulture is a great classic rendition and will pair with recent Doc Ock, Scorpion and the like for your rogues gallery. Superior Octopus is a modern storyline that I’m not 100% up on but looks faithful to the source. Shang-Chi is the comic rendition primer getting us all ready for the movie in MCU phase 4. Lot of goodies here – tons of extra hands and some nunchucks, plus a ton of articulation lets you hit all those Kung-Fu poses. White Rabbit caps it off with a super deep roster offering. Demogoblin is well done, lots of great sculpt going on. He comes with a flame glider and stand to keep it hovering, a nice touch.

All in all it’s a fun wave. It’s out in the wild now. Read on to check out 80+ pics courtesy of Dorkside Toys!
