Upon launching the first-ever Todd McFarlane’s Spawn Kickstarter, the campaign was immediately funded! In just a couple of days, the Spawn Figure and Comic campaign crossed an astonishing achievement – fans have pledged over 1 million, hitting the first stretch goal! And McFarlane promises more stretch goals are to come! And now YOU can join in this historical event too!

Last week, McFarlane announced that he had joined forces with Kickstarter to deliver an updated version of his very first action figure released in1995; the original Spawn Action Figure and Comic.

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.

Spawn Stretch Goals announced……FREE Set of Hands for all Rewards & 2 FREE heads for the 3-PACK Trilogy..!

As you can see by the title above, these additions will now be included at the various Reward Levels of our campaign. Here are the BONUS extras you will receive depending upon your pledge level:

  • All Rewards (whether a single figure pledge or the 3-Pack Trilogy pledge) will now come with a FREE set of extra hands. These hands can be used to hold the weapon(s) that come with your pledge.

And 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. The backing levels range from $40 to $160 based on the offerings.

Daniel Pickett

AFi founder and Editor-In-Chief Daniel “Julius Marx” Pickett has been around toys his whole life. The first line he ever collected was Mego’s World’s Greatest Super Heroes line back in the 70s. He has been surrounded by collectables ever since.

In 1999 he was confounded by a lack of information and news about some of his favorite toy lines he was collecting. Since he couldn’t find the information he decided to pursue it himself thinking other people might also be interested in the same news. He started writing a weekly column on the toy industry and action figure for a toy news site and in a years time he tripled the sites daily traffic with his updates, reviews and product features.

He built relationships with every major toy manufacturer and many sculptors, painters and mold makers. He grew his hobby into a world wide expertise that the industry has embraced.

In 2004 he teamed up with his toy buddy Jason “ToyOtter” Geyer and they created their own website www.ActionFigureInsider.com.

Daniel has been quoted in both industry and mass media press outlets. Over the years Daniel and AFi have been sought out as experts in the field. Daniel was regularly featured on “Attack of the Show” on the G4 network as the primary contributor to their “Mint On Card” segment, and our front page has been linked to from USA Today’s
“Pop Candy” Blog twice. Daniel’s content has also been featured on Bloomberg News, MSNBC.com, Time.com, The Wall Street Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, CNN.com, AssociatedPress.com
Wired.com, Fark.com, Boing-Boing, Gizmodo.com, Ain’t It Cool News, the Official
Star Wars blog, Geekologie, G4, CNet and Toy Fare magazine, among many
others. He has consulted on toy lines, books, documentaries and TV shows.

But all of that really just sounds snooty and “tootin’ his own horn” – the long and short of it is that Daniel loves toys and he LOVES talking about them.
