Today,
McFarlane Toys will be celebrating their
30 year anniversary, with new exclusive action figures and "social media fun"(
whatever that means!). Among the reveals so far (
or leaks from a few weeks ago) is a
Gold Label two-pack with a new figure of
Spawn in his original sketch design, along with a figure of the founder of McFarlane Toys himself,
Todd McFarlane. Toy collectors were quick to comment about it (
completely ignoring the fact that it already happened twice before, as it is the third one, but hey, Twitter didn't exist yet then...).
"
This is so stupid" said a toy collector from New Jersey. "
Who would want an action figure of themselves? I mean, sure, if I was in his place, I would totally do the same thing... I actually ordered 3 Hasbro Selfie Series, but it's completely different. I get to be a X-Wing pilot, A Power Ranger or a Ghostbuster at least. But I wasn't satisfied, so I have commissioned a custom head sculpt from a guy on Instagram. It wasn't cheap! But I digress... Todd forcing us to buy his figure is wrong!"

"
Can you imagine if other people in pop culture did that? Like if George Lucas would have a Star Wars figure of himself (there are, in fact, at least 4 of them),
or Stan Lee (Marvel Legends, Mego, 3x Hot Toys,...)
? That's just nonsense. I would still buy them all though..."
The first
Todd McFarlane figure came out in 1997 and was included in one of the
Spawn movie mini diorama playsets, the '
Spawn Alley' one, was called '
Todd the Bum' and was 3¾". The second one, a 6"'
Todd the Artist', was available only to members of the
McFarlane Toys Collector's Club. The
McFarlane Toys 30th anniversary celebration will start at 9PM PST/ 12PM EST.

Happy 30th anniversary, McFarlane Toys!
