Todd McFarlane has updated the Spawn Kickstarter page with a spread of all the elements going into the Spawn Remastered Kickstarter figures. In it we see various parts including painted figures, logos, weapons, the comics and the box. This is all just pre production work but it’s nice to see it all coming together. In addition, we’ve added in pics from several smaller updates over the last couple weeks as well.
Check out all the shots after the break. The Kickstarter Spawn figures are due to ship in Q4 2020!
McFarlane Toys Spawn Remastered Hits Kickstarter This Week

Kind of a bad time to do this isn't it?
Plus... is Spawn still a thing?
Still waiting on a Mammon figure. Already have countless spawns.
Doesn't hurt that he's awesome in the game.
Rough time for this, but I’m in. I love the idea. I hope we get a nice selection.
I'm interested in this for sure, I really just want an updated 1/6th scale Spawn. I have the Medicom version from way back but a new one would be awesome; on a basic level I have a problem with established companies making Kickstarters.
In this case I don't fully understand why they need to do this since he has an established company that HAS been producing Spawn/Image/Misc figures for decades. I don't mind a pre-order based fulfillment but I don't know that I could support this.
Apparently the issue is that retailers don't want to stock new Spawn toys unless they're connected to MK, so he's trying to sell these directly to fans.
One of the reasons he is doing a campaign is because big retailers are hesitant about one offs or small series. I think he is just using Spawn as a test, since it's his most well-known property. He also wants to bring back Movie Maniacs, Tortured Souls, Twisted Fairy Tales, etc., but just as smaller continuations. One or two figures at a time. Some of these have no real source material and no tie-ins, so Wal-Mart, Target, etc. wouldn't carry them.
That being said, I'm not sure why he is using the Kickstarter platform, instead of just putting up preorders on his site, like HasLab, and avoiding campaign fees. The only thing I can think of is that Kickstarter does have a pretty wide reach and quite a large customer base that is always looking for new campaigns to back.

I am also hearing some people say that they will not support the kickstarter but will buy if BBTS carries them, but also unsure what this means...
Also, yeah, super bad time for doing this.
If this new Spawn figure has tons of articulation like a Marvel Legend, then I'll bite. If it's just another hyper detailed plastic statue, then I ask "what's the point?"
There's a ton of pre-posed and very detailed figures of Spawn, but hardly any of them are poseable. I really enjoy the MK11 Spawn figure due to the heaps of articulation it has. That's how I hope the Kickstarter Spawn figure ends up.
Their (mediocre) Doomslayer figure appears to have sold well, wonder if demonic properties are just hot right now?
If this is one of those pre-posed McFarlane "action figures" like in the past then it's an easy pass.
Todd displayed the prototype for this figure at Toy Fair, and in that form it was literally just a statue. No mention was made of adding articulation - or NOT adding articulation - so it's up in the air exactly what this figure will be until details are revealed on April 8 (this Wednesday). But that said, in this day and age Todd would have to be a complete dunce to try and run a Kickstarter campaign this figure as nothing more than a glorified statue. If he does this will fail, and fail hard. And the deck is already stacked against it due to the pandemic bullshit going on.
Yes, he's going to be the laughing stock of the toy world again if he decides to sell another Spawn statue masquerading as an action figure like what he did in recent years.
Why does he even need funding? Isn't his company doing alright? He's making plenty of action figures of other lines so I wouldn't see why he'd need funding for a single Spawn figure.
The MK 11 Spawn that just came out is bad ass. If this Kickstarter figure is like that articulation wise and comes with tons of accessories and hopefully a soft goods cape with wiring, I'll get it. I've gotten tons of great figures from Kickstarter, I'm sure there are pros and cons for McFarlane to try this on Kickstarter.
Todd explains in this Toy Fair 2020 interview with Pixel Dan the reasoning behind using Kickstarter for this Spawn figure. He also talks about his DC stuff, etc. It's actually a fun watch as he seems very friendly and enthusiastic.

Is this a kind of bad joke from Todd ?
Lets see, we are talking of McFarlane Toys, we are talking of Todd McFarlane, a super sales with Spawn comics, HBO animated series, old school great figures from Spawn, AvP, and much , much others....I mean, I dont think that MFT has not a few grands in their account.
And now, in this world crisis, where people is passing much suffering and it seems that it comes more, do you want to start a kickstarter campaing?, why ? Because your last releases (MK scorpion, Destiny , Fornite) are pure shit and you dont sell?...
Come on, take the bussines seriously, you dont need excuses like a kickstarter campaing to remade the best and iconic 7" and 12" Spawn figures with ARTICULATION, make new ones with a decent paint job, and let us decide if we buy or not when we can see the final product. Do it well, be humble, and think twice when you have ideas like this bad one.
Im sure that Todd is a great guy, but with this , he is not acting well.
Just my opinion...
Stay safe bros.

By running a kickstarter he is publicly showing the damand his character does or doesn't have which may also help with getting the movie up and running. If the campaign is successful we will likely see the rest of the lineup and in all likelihood they'll end up in stores. Ultimately, if he puts up a good product that is as good if not better than his MK11 Spawn it should do really well.
As for existing lines; these have been hit and miss but to say his fortnite line is bad and doesn't sell is plain wrong. It's nearly 30 figures deep in less than two years. They've released vehicles and other accessories. The articulation on these is the best in their entire lineup and compares to Hasbro and NECA. The fortnite line is making bank. The MK11 line isn't that bad and each wave is better than the last. Hopefully this trend continues. The fact a third wave is coming and that Spawn figure is sold out shows that it's not even close to being a miss.
Probably worth noting that the MK11 spawn sold out while the color tops Spawn is still easy to find retail at a relatively low price. That alone should show Todd that articulation is a must.
