Supposed to be lmao yep it’s not gonna be

Thank God ha ha I have been waiting for this figure and I got the 3 Pack Specifically for the Al Simmons head and extras so I'm hoping ti all comes together nice for me keeping the classic.

I got the trilogy too. I’m debating wether or not I should sell the artist proof spawn when it gets here

@@ultimateslinger9857 I'ma sell my artist proof.

Great to hear that the cape will be removable and I love that it did not have that ugly mid ab cut. I freakin hate that middle ab crunch it destroys the look of the sculpt and I just want the figures to look like sculpted works of art than a stop action animation Prop... Sorry.

I’ve been collecting for a year I’m 12 right now I hope I can keep my child in me for as long as you have I only have 16 figures right now but I’m grateful for all of them and I hope I can collect more over the years

Man Im 30 and I couldn't love them more I hope I love them forever

I’m 17 and I still like collecting. I’ve been doing it since I was around 7 and I’ll keep it going 👍

Yup. I love my MK11 Spawn and this looks very disappointing.

Agreed

so far, the mk11 spawn is the superior of all spawn figures...

@@jeffrivera6 unfortunately, without having this onr in hand, I have to agree. This new one have the design we know of spawn, and maybe better finish, but as an action figure, I think you are right.

Yup still the perfect spawn so far

At least the the mortal kombat 11 spawn exists

@@ultimateslinger9857 true. But there are a lot of older fans like myself that prefer the original costume in early 90’s aesthetic, for nostalgia’s sake. It makes no sense. Even all of his DC Multiverse figures are done in a neutral ‘A’ pose. It feels spiteful that he would do this to a figure that is THIS special to fans.

@@jayg5650 You could just customize that one with some red paint on some parts. Then it would probably be the one your looking for.

@@ultimateslinger9857 nah, it has the clubbed foot and gaultlet, and is sculpted in CGI aesthetic. I ordered 2 of these Kickstarter spawns, but I also still have 2 of the Image 10th Anniversary figures. I’ll be fine, this was just a huge missed opportunity to make a perfect 10/10 classic spawn IMO

@schwiggity aww did you get your feelings hurt?

@schwiggity Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah as long as it looks cool I am happy with it, lots of the stuff I collect doesn’t have that much of articulation.

True, I suppose that is generally true for most of us huh? Although I am planning on starting to make Dioramas and then the possiblity of moving them around and posing different scenes will be needed. But even now a year later I am thinking about grabbing one of these. I just love it so much

Also the fact that the cape is not removable....some people got theirs already and yup confirmed not removable.

The MK11 one may have superior articulation but I believed this kickstarter is semi Superior. I Would honestly save the kickstarter from a fire than the MK one.

Also I'm monky

Did you see the latest video by todd on kickstarter. Cause it different then that figure.

thats because you don't have this one... broke boy

Mcfarlane can't help himself, he loves making statues then marketing them as action figures.

Yeah especially the immobile weirdly posed torso is just bad.

Yes

@@muisverriet yes (part 2)

Hopefully some amazing customizers out there can work some magic and fix the torso, if so I would for sure have one of my spawns corrected for photography.

I mean, the point is to appeal to nostalgia. Did you miss the fact that it's specifically a remaster of the original 90's figure? lol. Gotta appeal to the classic fans.

Exactly what I want

@schwiggity I get that but if you look at the mortal kombat version compared to this one it shows that this could have been way better.

My sentiments exactly. All he had to do was follow the same formula that he is using for the dc multiverse and mortal kombat figures. Neutral ‘A’ pose with articulation is industry standard in today’s market. The pre pose almost seems spiteful for a figure that is this special to collectors.

@@sreidlik I completely understand what you’re saying, but in that case, he should have committed to the statue formula and omitted the articulation altogether, and perhaps included arms/limbs with the weapons and accessories sculpted and integrated with the prepose. Todd should have committed to one concept or the other, but if he was going with ‘figure’ it doesn’t make sense to do it in a way that is not aligned with products that he is already producing that are consummate with today’s market offering

@schwiggity this figure is trash

Todd is just a crazy old man that think his way is the best, and most of the times, it isn't....

@schwiggity What you're saying is true but it doesn't mean they have enough or that the range is enough. They have butterfly joints without any range at all, the ab crunch only crunches back, the head can't look up, not even on a flying character, even when the limbs are very slim he sometimes wont use double joints like he did with the Robim figure and he will try to insert a pre pose whenever he can. Mattel had that articulation ages ago and what do you mean by "...he's not Hasbro." that is just nonsense. He is the one doing something very specific, action figures where the focus is on the figure and not the action, I believe action figures should have the better compromise possible between action and figure, articulation and detail. There are loads of companies who can do that and Mr. Todd doesn't want to learn with them because he seems to have this ridiculous idea that he would be showing weakness by learning with others or that it would diminish his talent and personality by doing the same thing others do even if it means he has to do it the wrong way. I admit there are ppl,who may like pre posed action figures but that isn't the majority and that wasn't what he promised us when this kickstarter started.

@@tronarts7945 I agree...unfortunately because I wanted it to be very good.

@@Ant-guy101 he should be stepping back from action figure design and let other generations do it, he's done more then enough for this hobby, he shouldn't be remembered by the young collectors has the guy who can ruin every figure he touches. Something like..." Todd McFarlane that old man who insisted action figures weren't supposed to articulate and that he knew better then any one else because he was the only true artist with the only true sense of stile!!!".

Have you seen that fucking 89 Batman?? TRASH. MAFEX would be infinitely better.

@@Empirechavez MAFEX, oh yeah!!! That would be a lot better. Their comic book spidey is so cool.

Even hasbro could make a better action figure

oh yeah I do hope definitely one day Todd is willing to lend it to mayfax or sh to see what their takes on his iconic character will be but even so I think he can make a stunning figure on his own he just needs to learn more about articulation somebody needs to throw that man a storm collectible figure or an ice age and just let him play around with it start throwing him figures with super unique ways to not only hide articulation but show how it can be seamless as well and I guarantee ideas will be ruling cuz that's the thing about Todd if he had to choose sacrificing sculpt over articulation he will go sculpt any day and I'm kind of glad that this spawn doesn't really use a rubber torso because although a lot of people like that aspect of storm collectibles I think that's their biggest downside because over time I feel like people are going to have problems with that rubber aging and falling apart plastic lasts a long time but rubber pieces when you're moving them when you're playing with them they're not going to hold up over time and when you spending $60 $70 a figure on sh figuarts figures rubber just ain't going to last no matter how hard soft or what type of rubber you use I'm even kind of worried about the rubber on the Doomsday figure or the Batman doomsday I don't know what's official name I believe it's devastator cuz it has some rubber spikes I know it's to save people from pain and I get that but at the same time those might deteriorate over time And one thing I've learned at least with the old style of Todd McFarlane figures his older figures have seen better days when you open one of his figures like his movie versions of spawns like violator you got to be extremely careful with him paint rub acts like a glue in those figures just become super brittle and start to fall apart like nothing because of aging as well as being trapped in a clamshell forever kind of puts it in a sea of toxic chemicals from the plastics which could also deteriorate it the idea is to make a figure that's not only highly articulated but looks as seamless as possible but your third most important step is to make sure it stands to test the time where this is going to be something that's in people's collections for like 30 50 years even I'm not saying it's going to last that long or I'm not saying the person's going to have it that long but I'm sure even years from now when we're all dead people are going to taken liking to these figuresand they're going to want to preserve them like the human race wants to preserve anything not being said these figures need to be built stand the test of time why do you think companies like 30 make stuff out of complete diecast metal that may be expensive but they know that that metal is not going to break it's not going to fall apart worst case you're going to get paint shipping the original transformers or at least some of them used to be made out of metal too because they knew the same factor Tonka trucks were made out of the same type of material that actual trucks are made out of and could withstand the weight of an elephant granted they say that they're unbreakable but I'm sure there's at least been a few cases of them breaking because nothing's indestructible but they're pretty damn near indestructible Case in point three key ingredients to any figure Number one Max articulation Number two seamless sculpt Number three good paints as well as paint job preferably matte finish is probably better than gloss and number four make sure your figures can stand the test of time by using high quality plastics especially if you're charging a high price point anything over $40 you should try to use the best grade plastic that you can for your money hell even at $20 it should at least be halfway decent

@@bonafiedangeredpenguin5387 he already let medicom do a real action hero spawn

Also he said he’d do other spawn figures. Like making one that could crouch down and stuff. He said that in the interview with ShartimusPrime I think

Ok

No, this is an action figure.

That’s why I sold mine. Wolverine looked great but the lack of articulation got annoying.

Ok

@Parker Brown Noodle claws

Yeah I thought honestly we were getting a crunch

Wasn't happy about that either

i could have sworn we were promised a Spawn that could go into all the poses he does in the comics were we not? I like it but at the same time as someone who likes to photograph his stuff its kind of a big miss. Its one dimensional when it comes to photos for good ones it has to be taken from his left side. That hamburger head sculpt is a big ouch in my opinion. I hope hardcore fans don't crucify for me saying this stuff, its just not what I was expecting when the people literally paid for this one and not a company, we got no say in what we were purchasing but oh well I am sure I will still enjoy it.

@@AngryDeluxe i think they weren’t able to do the crunch with the whole rubber ab thing and he didn’t want to break the sculpt so they went this route. Sucks

No, he said in an update video that it wasn’t guaranteed and he’d change it if he wasn’t happy with it, that’s why the rubber torso got taken away too. People just didn’t see that update I guess

Collectors in Asia that have received the figure have reported that the cape is not removeable. There are a few reviews posted here on KZfaq

Yeah we really deserve one sense he's not going to listen it out to other companies like Mafex of Figurarts. Honestly I think for a project like this it should have been a Mafex type figure.

@@Nin_the_Shinobi I'm confused, does the MK11 and 10th Anniversary Spawn figure not exist? I know the 10th anniversary is pretty pricey right now but damn. lol

@@619kane You, uh, okay there pal? You don't sound okay, I'm just gonna level with you.

@schwiggity I'd like to know how I could sell something that I chose not to buy in the first place. As for what I'd like Spawn to be able to do: bend forward to crouch on a gargoyle or church rooftop, as he has countless times before; double-hand his rifle, as any character with a rifle should be able to do; turn his unmasked head to face forward without creating some weird horrible goiter on the side of his neck; not constantly lean to the left like his spine is broken. I could go on, if you like, but I do think my point has been made. I'm not hating on people who enjoy this figure or others like it; if that's your thing, more power to you! But it just isn't for me, so I'll pass on it for something with more articulation. World's plenty big enough for both of us.

@@GoldenWhistle bro, I had to stop responding there. Everyone outside of the Todd-simp community knows that the pre posed torso is unacceptable and was never going to work. When these start arriving to backers in a few weeks, EVERYONE is going to be roasting this figure. I wouldn’t be surprised if the final product isn’t much different from this tester.

@@jayg5650 Those TODD simps are pathetic. Most of them never collect any good shits, this 40 dollar figure is probably their first actual collection.

@@GoldenWhistle they were defending it cause they were the ones pushing for rubber torso , so it was hard to ask for a cut in the torso over the fanboys begging for a rubber torso, i mean you can see the result with the stupid metal chains. hope the next kickstarter more people speak up against them that want real materials and rubber seamless joints.

I second that. Jesus, Todd you've clearly ignored the fans wishes. So disappointed by this figure. At least we have the Mk one.

I mean he did explain how it was gonna be close to the original

PERIOD.

He makes great statues at that too. Like how the new bane figure is looking.... looks like a spawn mask thrown on a bulky figure.

Truth.

I like how this one is like a modernized version of that toy. It’s almost like it was meant to be an upgraded edition

Ok

@@ultimateslinger9857 It is!!! (The Original SPAWN Action Figure & Comic Remastered (2020)) to deliver an updated version of the original SPAWN action figure & comic (from 1995) the KickStarter literally says that!!!!

@@shannonedge9386 Yes indeed. I think making this purchase was a good idea. To the point where I’m probably gonna save it for Christmas

Is that the one with a club with a nail through it as an accessory?

They literally do do that, the DC multiverse, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Fortnight, Cyberpunk and whatever other licences he has are all really posable

@@symbiote1982pk right! Which is why i don't understand why they try and mesh statues and articulated figures into one thing.

Just for clarification, not trying to be a douche but how is this a total step backwards? Apart from its preposed torso (which still has articulation) much like the newest Arkham Batman figure. And also Todd put thigh swivel in the Spawn figure, which I’m sure you know is lacking in all of his DC Multiverse Figures.

It’s a step backwards because it’s not as detailed as a full-on statue yet it’s not as highly-articulated as an action figure, so rather than getting the best of both worlds you’re getting something not quite as good as either. This figure is a compromise between a statue and a figure in a time where toy engineering has moved past that and made it possible to no longer have to compromise between the two. We have designed joints that allow for articulation without breaking the sculpt and this figure is a step backwards from that. “Preposing” is obsolete.

@@ChronicDreamer1st Fair on the detailing as a statue, that I get. But in terms of not “highly-articulated” to which standards? Because if we’re talking McFarlane Toys, this Spawn figure has as many POA as a DC Multiverse, MHA or Cyberpunk figure (and that’s not including the POA on his cape). Or are we comparing it to other toy companies...? Like Mafex, Figuarts or Hasbro? Because that’s a different discussion, the resources and engineering at McFarlane Toys is about what I’d imagine we’d get in this Kickstarter Spawn, because I actually have a couple of McFarlane DC figures and the MK 11 Spawn figure as well. I think that the argument for preposed torso/head on this figure is kind of blown out of proportion. Figure collectors who actually pose and display their figures will find always find ways to display them. Case in point Shartimus photos at the end of the video. I also think the majority (not you) in these comment jump on the bandwagon of dumping all over this figure instead of formulating an opinion for themselves. I’ll reserve mine for when I actually have it in hand but from my observation so far in his review, I’m fine with it. I don’t see the argument of it being a step backwards in terms of figure engineering or comparison. Because if we’re comparing it to previous Spawn figures, this seems to be the best one.

@@JayL8899 my bet is not on the amount of articulation, but the preposed. This figure actually has a decent amount of articulation, but for example; the preposed torso is a big ooff imo.

@@JayL8899 these people are ridiculous!! I've never seen such bitching and complaining by what I assume to be grown adults! It looks amazing and comes with so much for the price!

i imagine its cause the symbols wouldnt line up if moves like on the mk 11 one, but i mean i think this will be far from the last spawn figure tho maybe of al , who knows. but i think he will look cool in a lot of poses maybe not with the cape on tho. i mean mythic legions pose alright and they have the same issue.

I agree. All he had to do was follow the same formula that he is using for all of the dc multiverse, and mortal kombat figures- neutral ‘A’ pose, smooth integration of articulation.....like any other modern figure smh

Make no mistake, reviewers are going to eviscerate this figure. The only people excusing the pre pose are Todd stans. I’m a huge Spawn fan, but I would not have even considered buying this figure if it were any other character.

Idk mafex has been kinda garbage recently especially with that recent venom

I got the trilogy as well hoping for a Spawn that can do all the Spawn poses like he said instead we got this. The final product looked good in the video Todd posted up and abs looked like they crunch more but mad that pre-pose stuff is killing the figure.

@@lerancidideas How much playa?

@The Irish Nerd it's a Kickstarter dude you can't

The reason it was plastic is because this is supposed to be a remake of the series 1 spawn toy so it has the opening and closing cape feature

@@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy No I get that it was a remake of the original figure, but in a way it really wasn't. He gave extra hands another head scuplt and more weapons. He obviously wanted to make the ultimate classic spawn figure. A plastic cape will only hinder the figures poseibility while a wired cape will give you much more freedom to pose him anyway you like. Call me crazy but that's the way I see it and he started a Kickstarter for this figure. He went all out with extra head scuplts weapons. I Really don't think he needed to do the Kickstarter for the figure. He would have made it and it would have sold regardless.

@@jcarret26 the issue with this figure was he couldn’t sell it to traditional retailers like target and Walmart because he only had one figure to sell, price, and size. He needed a direct to consumer venue so that’s what Kickstarter was to him. And the extra hands and stuff weren’t even originally going to be included he just wanted to add more value to the set. The most it was going to have was the club thing with the signed version, and a gun.

Yeah me too. I really regret backing this kickstarter after seeing this

Same, i will not back anything from him anymore. Truste issues here we go!
