The New York Toy Fair is still ongoing and there has been a lot of exciting announcements during the weekend! It seems tons of brands are cashing in on one particular thing this year: Nostalgia! With several brands bringing back the 3¾-inch figures from the past, others bringing us figures like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in packaging that looks like the ones from the past, or Power Rangers from the 90's, all those brands are trying to touch our nostalgic nerve and get us to buy reproductions of figures we already had 30 years ago.

But one particular announcement certainly did not go unnoticed: Todd McFarlane, the "ToddFather" himself, announced his project of a Kickstarter for a revival of the very first wave of Spawn figures from 1995. The goal is to start a Kickstarter for each figure from the set (Spawn, the Clown, Violator, Overkill, Tremor, Medieval Spawn, and an unmasked version of the Spawn, with trademarked 'hamburger-head'), and release them, with today's better, upgraded scuplts, while selling them in the same packaging the original figures had in 1995.

This idea hasn't fallen on deaf ears, as we got the scoop that other toy makers will soon start their own crowdfunding venture. "Todd McFarlane created a multi million dollar business and made a name for himself, through his art, comic book stories and McFarlane Toys, and he is now trying to relaunch Spawn using Kickstarter? This is genius!" said one of the top Toy company representants interviewed at the Toy Fair.

The early rumors ToyFarce News has managed to gather are:

• Howard Chan, from Hot Toys, thinks about starting a GoFundMe to help his multi million dollar brand release figures a bit faster than at current time.
• The toy makers of Hasbro will soon start a Patreon, where they will release pictures of the design, sculpting, prototype, all the processes to make a figure with different levels of payments showing you more if you pay more.
  
• IndieGogo has had conversations with the people from Funko, no details about the subject.
• Mattel to restart their 'MattyCollector' service as a paid subscription, with different tiers.
