In 1992 the very first Spawn comic book hit the shelves setting a sales record for an independent. A few years later in 1995, the first Spawn action figure was released to critical acclaim and helped usher in a whole new way of giving you detail and ‘art’ to your action figures.
Now, twenty-five years later, Todd MacFarlane is joining forces with Kickstarter to help deliver an updated version of that original 1995 toy & comic release. This 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 toy had, and the included comic will be re-drawn by the international award-winning artist and creator of the Spawn character, Todd McFarlane.
As well, this new remastered version will come in its own box with 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 toy of 1995, though upgrades will be all across the final product.
A new resealable shell will be used so that you may take out you figure and comic for display, but also be able to return them both into their packaging like 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 name plate that can be used for display with your comic and toy. And each autographed item will also come with a bonus weapon: A reimagining of the wooden plank weapon from that original Spawn 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-PAK bundle which will include a Classic, Modern and Black & White figure. The latter two figure getting new head sculpts!)
The first three levels will be offered with or without an autograph while the 3-Pak will only be offered with an autograph. And each of the single figures will have a NEW never seen before covers drawn by Todd McFarlane himself.
This is your chance to get in on history as it repeats itself in this remastered version of the character and toy that helped changed the industry of action figures itself.

Ugh seeing these new pictures of the further development of this figure , yet again... I wish I was getting this, it has Torso articulation in the end...
why self why!?
He's looking pretty good.I kinda regret not backing this. I'm happy with the mortal kombat version, but this would be cool too.
I backed this figure and even though I'm pleased with the outcome I still wished they could have done the torso a little differently.
Can't say 100% because Idon't have the figure in hand, but I am very pleased overall. Very satisfied with the torso articulation. Just hope the final product has sturdy joints. That cumbersome cake will most likely be replaced. Hope it's easy to remove.
Following the new official images from earlier today, Todd McFarlane has posted a new video giving an update for his Spawn Kickstarter figure. In the video he shows off the final torso articulation the figure will have as well as let us know the figures should start shipping out around the first week of December.

Also be sure to check back tomorrow as ShartimusPrime will be giving us a more detailed look of the figure in a new video with images.
Can a toy that hasn't even been released yet BE a toy of the year . . . before the year even starts?
Looks good...

Hope it has almost the same articulation as the first (Mortal K) release, and then you just have to put on the cape (easily). Weird as it may sound, but I like the MK version still... not into humongous capes.
I haven't seen the MK one in person but from what I have seen in photos and video reviews I like the look of it more than this one.
