McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Batman & Spawn Two Pack + BBTS Exclusive Spawn (Black and White Accent Edition)

It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at some recent McFarlane Toys figures: the DC Multiverse Batman and Spawn two-pack, and the BigBadToyStore Exclusive Spawn Universe Spawn (Black and White Accent Edition). I hesitated to even open these, since they kinda looked cool in their respective boxes, but I have no space to display them in the boxes either, so had to #LetEmBreathe!

First, the DC Multiverse Batman and Spawn two-pack. Fresh off the heels of the (slightly disappointing) Batman/Spawn crossover comic book that came out in december last year, McFarlane Toys announced a two-pack, which makes complete sense, since they have the DC license and own Spawn. It's as if the comic book just existed to sell action figures... *mindblown!* The 2 figures are pretty good, considering there is a plethora of Batman and Spawn figures, and they could have picked worse ones. My only issue with the 2 pack is the Batman screaming head, which makes it look like he just stubbed his toe really hard constantly. A second head with a more 'standard' expression would have been welcome (even one we already have).







Batman comes with 2 extra hands and a batarang, and Spawn comes with a huge sword. Also included are a backdrop with a base to hold it, along with 2 trading cards and 2 stands (one DC and one Spawn). The Batman figure re-uses the body of the Year 2 figure, I believe, with a different cape and head, while the Spawn is the same as the one as the throne set one, with a way better cape.












The Spawn Universe Spawn (Black and White Accent Edition), which is limited to 3000 and was exclusive to BigBadToyStore was a total impulse buy. I didn't really have a need for a "How it feels to chew 5 gums" edition of Spawn, but I was browsing the internet when it dropped, saw that it was limited, succumbed to FOMO and grabbed it, and it was shipped really soon after that. It comes in a special 'collector' box with great art on the back. The figure comes with chain accessories, a collectible art card with a stand, and a stand for the figure.







The figure uses the same mold as the Mortal Kombat Shadow of Spawn figure, but only using black with green 'accents' (there's not really any white on the figure, so not sure why it's called black and white accent...). I'll admit it looks really cool. It has a great shelf presence. The chains can be attached in his back, under the cape, to flow freely on the sides. The only thing that would have made that figure a complete win would be if the green highlights glowed in the dark.
