REVIEW: MCFARLANE TOYS KICKSTARTER REMASTERED SPAWN TRILOGY PACK!

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

MCFARLANE TOYS KICKSTARTER REMASTERED SPAWN TRILOGY PACK!

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

Behold! Today, we’re checking the long awaited Kickstarter Remastered Spawn Trilogy Pack from McFarlane Toys. I had a lot of fun with it throughout the weekend, so check our social media or the hashtag #loveyoukickstarterspawn for all the shenanigans. But now, it was time to open it.

Obviously, here are the faces I made when opening it:

Here are some pictures of the packaging, which, as promised, was pretty freaking awesome. It really felt like opening something fancy, and now, I can’t go back to just opening normal blister cards. We have higher standards now, come on! Talking about blister cards, the blister card found inside the box is also a call-back to the original one from 1995, with the comic book and everything. Like a ‘retro’ Spawn figure, if you will! It is “collector-friendly”, which means easily resealable.

Here are the figures outside of the box! They’re heavier than i thought, but still have a good balance, thanks to the massive cape! (yeah, yeah, I know, it’s not removable)

CLASSIC SPAWN:

The classic Spawn comes with the classic costume (duh!). It’s a modern remastered version of the classic 1995 action figure (which you can see on a few pictures below). It’s a beautiful figure. That’s my opinion. Sure, the shoulders can’t move much because of the cape, aNd wE DiDn’T gET aN aB-cRuNcH (yells at the sky), but it still is a beautiful figure. The colors are great, with a nice contrast between the black/white and the bright red and green. It’s a great Spawn figure. I’m happy I got it. The screaming head is a bit meh, since it comes as a ‘block’ with the neck, but it’s a nice looking skull nonetheless. The trilogy pack version comes with a plethora of accessories too.

MODERN SPAWN

Modern Spawn comes with slight modifications to his suit, to look a bit more like the modern outfit (big glove, huge boot…). The weird thing is that the boot is on the wrong foot, and you would think that Todd McFarlane would know on which foot the big boot is supposed to be, but oh well! The unmasked head is gnarly AF, and looks awesome (McFarlane Toys knows how to do gnarly, see Tortured Souls, etc…). The Al Simmons head is also a great sculpt. Kinda look like a black Dominic Purcell (which I can’t unsee now), but it looks great on the figure (and it has a neck!). This one comes with a big gun that the other ones don’t have. Also a call-back to the original 1995 unmasked Spawn variant, which I also had, with pics added below.

ARTIST PROOF SPAWN

The Artist Proof Spawn is the ‘unpainted’ version. McFarlane Toys used to do that a lot in the past (the movie Spawn figure had an unpainted version like that too, which was given at the Cannes film festival, and I grabbed a bunch of them back then), so it made sense to have this one as a part of the set. It’s a great figure, in the sense that since it’s not painted, your eyes are drawn to all the details and the sculpt. It comes with its very own ‘necroplasm’ effect, and some of the other versions’ same accessories, but unpainted.

I’m pretty happy with the set (in case you couldn’t tell!). It will look awesome on a nice display (which I have yet to figure out), and I’m glad I participated in the Kickstarter campaign. All figures come with a stand that says “Record-setting action figure”, which is a nice touch. Gotta rub that in, right?

The Trilogy Pack also came with a signature plaque, from someone called Tord McForlove. Excellent job, Tord!

“Dude, what the hell?”

Todd McFarlane teased that the next Kickstarter project might be a Medieval Spawn. My body is ready!

“Where is my Kickstarter??”

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN! ASKING EVERYDAY “HAS ANYONE RECEIVED THEIR TOY YET?” MAKES IT ARRIVE FASTER!!

SCIENTIFIC NEWS:

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN: ASKING EVERYDAY “HAS ANYONE RECEIVED THEIR TOY YET?” MAKES IT ARRIVE FASTER!!

If your feed has been looking like that for a few weeks, do not adjust your monitor, it’s completely normal!

There are lots of people that ordered toys (for example, that Kickstarter Spawn) that are very excited and are getting so impatient that they feel the need to ask very often if other people have received theirs. Nobody really knows why, considering that if other people have indeed received theirs, their situation would not miraculously change, and they would still not have received their own. Some say it makes them feel better if other people got theirs, because they could be next in line (that never happened). But could asking “Has anyone received theirs?” often actually make your toy arrive faster?

A team of scientist from Wyoming got a very generous funding in order to start a research on that phenomenon, and their results will surprise you! Professor Kent Waite was interviewed by ToyFarce: “There is a correlation between asking that same question all the time, and the toys actually arriving faster. There is a lot of mathematics involved but we won’t go into that…” he said. “With my colleague, Professor Ian Michael Patient (aka Professor I.M.Patient), we are using Einstein’s theory of relativity, proving that the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference, and when you spend your entire days bitchi…I mean, asking about your toy, time flows differently for you, and when you get your figure, it feels that less time has passed!”

You heard him, folks! So keep asking about your Kickstarter Spawn, or the tracking info about it! It will definitely make it arrive faster!

More news at 11:00…but seriously, has anyone received their tracking for their Kickstarter Spawn yet?

“ANOTHER COLLECTOR GOT THAT TOY BEFORE ME AND NOW, MY DAY IS RUINED!”

COLLECTOR NEWS:

“ANOTHER COLLECTOR GOT THAT TOY BEFORE ME AND NOW, MY DAY IS RUINED!”

“How is that fair that *I* pre-ordered this DAY ONE, and *I* still haven’t gotten it, while other people are finding it in store?”

“From now on, I will boycott that brand! How dare they?”

“THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!”

We have all seen those posts. Multiple times a week, in fact. It seems that a lot of collectors feel entitled that they should get toys before others, because they pre-ordered an item and have a wonderful personality.

There are several reasons why someone would get a product before someone else: Location, quality of the post service, plain luck, etc… Yet, some collectors still don’t seem to grasp the concept that pre-order does not mean “guaranteed to get it first”...

Of course, ToyFarce completely understands being excited and impatient. We are also waiting for our NECA Tokka and Rahzar two-pack, and our Kickstarter Spawn figures. But just like everybody else, we just have to be patient.

In the example of the Kickstarter Spawn: “Yeah, but some people in Hong Kong and China are starting to get them, and I have to wait weeks before I get mine because it’s on a boat!”… So what? What is wrong with waiting? Is it the fear of being less validated and getting less “likes” because other people will have posted pictures before yours arrived? No need to worry about that, most people will have blocked you by the time you receive yours because of the constant complaining anyway ^^

Here is a lesson about patience, self-control and delayed gratification brought to you by Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston, and the Cookie Monster:

We hope that this will help!

TOYFARCE TURNS 1 YEAR OLD! HERE IS A TOP 10 OF YEAR 1

ANNIVERSARY NEWS:

TOYFARCE TURNS 1 YEAR OLD! HERE IS A TOP 10 OF YEAR 1

Well, as implied by the title, ToyFarce is now 1 year old. On November 22nd, 2019, the first crappy photo-edit was made and published in a few facebook groups, along with a short “news article” text, and the rest is history. Thanks a million for the support over this year.

We tried to make a Top 10 list of the ‘best’ articles of this year, but it turned out to be more difficult than it sounded, as we love all of the posts equally! Ok, some definitely got better reactions than others, and we noticed that it’s always the ones that we expect the less to have a big reaction that gets them, so we’re still learning! Now, let’s make year 2 funnier than year 1!

10. HOT TOYS USING UNSOLD BOBA FETT TO MAKE THE MANDALORIAN FIGURES?!

The very first post, the one that started it all. After getting a lot of engagement on that one, we released one post a week, then 2 posts a week,… which led to today’s format : a new article on mondays and fridays, and a review on wednesdays.

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/01/hot-toys-using-unsold-boba-fett-to-make.html

9. FUNKO POP SOON RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS, WILL START MAKING OWN EMPLOYEES POP FIGURES!

Weirdly enough, this has been the only post about Funko Pops, while there is definitely room for more! More Funko news in year 2!

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/01/funko-pop-soon-running-out-of-ideas.html

8. MORE TRANSFORMERS COLLABORATIVE FIGURES TO COME ?!

So many possibilities! So many famous movie cars! We would still buy them all!

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/07/more-transformers-collaborative-figures.html

7. FIGURE SWAPPERS NOT EVEN TRYING ANYMORE!

Gathering a lot of pictures from figure swaps was hilarious. Some of them may be staged, but we all had a good laugh with them anyway.

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/07/figure-swappers-not-even-trying-anymore.html

6. SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON CANCELLED - SCALPING INDUSTRY TO TAKE HUGE FINANCIAL HIT!

One of the first posts to talk about scalpers, which would become a regular thing later on. In hindsight, it turns out they still found a way to profit from it after all…

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/04/san-diego-comic-con-cancelled-scalping.html

5. "TIME AND ENERGY", A NEW TAX FROM SCALPERS?!

Another one about scalpers. I included this one because it got the most reactions, a lot of arguments/fights between collectors and scalpers in the comments in various facebook groups, some trying to defend/justify, etc... It was pretty wild!

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/08/time-and-energy-new-tax-from-unassumed.html

4. NECA’S NEXT GREMLINS SET REVEALED: GRETA’S WEDDING!

This one is special because we ordered a Cameo from Robert Picardo, not expecting any answer, and not only did Robert Picardo answer, but he delivered a brilliant, funny, amazing video that I hope more people will see. If this Cameo thing delivers like that, expect more in the future!

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news/necas-next-gremlins-set-revealed-gretas-wedding

3. A FOURTH MORTAL KOMBAT SPAWN FIGURE VARIANT, WITH TRUMPET?!

After several different Spawn figures announced with a different weapon, we thought about what would be the ultimate accessory: a trumpet. This led to a string of several running gags, and trumpets were added in several other posts (Hasbrolab’s Sentinel and Mandalorian’s Razor Crest, …). We even released a follow-up review of the figure later on.

Review: https://www.toyfarce.com/news/reviews-mcfarlane-toys-mortal-kombat-spawnwith-trumpet

2. AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE TARGET EXCLUSIVE RED HULK, MARVEL LEGENDS TO RELEASE MORE COLORED HULKS!!

This was one of the early hits, right when the Red Hulk hype was at its highest, with tons of people actually asking if it was real, and where to pre-order. Good times!

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/03/after-success-of-target-exclusive-red.html

1. STAR WARS - THE "OPENING CRAWL" FINALLY GETTING A BLACK SERIES FIGURE!

Our personal favorite. It also got a lot of reactions, and a ton of people said they would actually buy this if it ever came out (we totally would too).

Link: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/06/star-wars-opening-crawl-finally-getting.html

Did we miss any article that you loved, and think would deserve to be in the Top 10? Let us know in the comments!

LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MCFARLANE TOYS PROMO PICS ROOFTOP!

INVESTIGATIVE NEWS:

LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MCFARLANE TOYS PROMO PICS ROOFTOP!

Earlier last week, the McFarlane Toys Kickstarter Spawn action figure was nominated for “Toy of the Year 2020” on Toyawards.org. This was the perfect occasion for the Toddfather himself to release some new promo pics of the Kickstarter Spawn figure, which caught the attention of ToyFarce.

After further inspection, it seems that the rooftop on which the Spawn figure appears to be is the same rooftop as the one where the Red (White) Knight Batman picture was taken earlier this year, which can only mean one thing:

There is a rooftop somewhere where the unreleased McFarlane Toys action figures are hanging around.

If you have any information about the location of that rooftop, please let us know in the comments! ToyFarce would be happy to travel there and grab all the unreleased figures, and of course, share them with all of you! We will be waiting for your tips, which can remain anonymous if you prefer so! If we get enough informations, we will make a follow up article!

More news at 11:00… let the investigation begin!

A FOURTH MORTAL KOMBAT SPAWN FIGURE VARIANT, WITH TRUMPET ?!

BREAKING NEWS:

A FOURTH MORTAL KOMBAT SPAWN FIGURE VARIANT, WITH TRUMPET ?!

First, there was Mortal Kombat Spawn with sword. Then, Mortal Kombat Spawn with mace, and soon, Mortal Kombat Spawn with axe (Target exclusive). The first figures was sold out everywhere as soon as it hit the shelves, so it is great to see that Todd McFarlane (the "Toddfather") and his brand McFarlane Toys have heard the fans that wanted more.

But it is not the end of it! ToyFarce News got the exclusive insider scoop that a fourth variant will see the light of day very soon, Mortal Kombat Spawn with trumpet! This one will be a K-Mart exclusive and will include, once again, the same ultra-articulated figure, but with a new accessory, a shiny trumpet! As you can see on the promo pictures, there are tons of awesome poses that can be achieved with that new accessory, and we, at ToyFarce News, can't wait to get our hands on it! 

More news at 11:00... FATALITY!

LIST OF STRETCH GOALS FOR KICKSTARTER SPAWN REVEALED !

EXCLUSIVE NEWS:

LIST OF STRETCH GOALS FOR KICKSTARTER SPAWN REVEALED !

In case you haven't heard of it, Todd McFarlane, and his brand McFarlane Toys, have started a kickstarter in order to remaster the very first action figure of Spawn, which was released in 1995. It took less than a couple of hours for the goal of $100,000 to be obliterated, and it now sits around at $1,800,000, with still 2 weeks to go.

Every once in a while, when the Kickstarter reaches a new 'milestone', Todd McFarlane, the Toddfather himself makes videos to thank the people for participating, and announces new rewards, in the form of more content for the figures. At $1,000,000, Todd announced that everybody would get extra hands and the people who ordered the 3-pack would get all the headsculpts. At $1,200,000, he announced the rubber chains of the figures would be upgraded to steel chains. At $1,400,000, 3 different weapons would be added to the 3-pack. Also, every figures would get a second headsculpt, as a token of his gratitude. Finally, at $1,700,000, the 'Modern Spawn' single figure will get an upgrade, a different spiked boot to reflect the look in the comic book, and the one from the 3-pack would get the spiked boot, along with a different arm!

ToyFarce News investigated day and night to try to find what the next rewards would be, and we have managed to get the scoop for you about what the next stretch goals will be:

- At $1,900,000: A new headsculpt, smiling "Handsome Al Simmons", with a big afro, will be added to the 3-pack. Also known as the 'Disco Al Simmons' sculpt.

- At $2,000,000: The wooden plank weapon will now be upgrade from plastic to actual wood. That's right, it will be a real piece of wood with a nail in it!

- At $2,250,000: Red clown noses will be added to the 3-pack. Two of them will be painted red, and the third one will be grey, to go with the unpainted figure.

- At $2,500,000: A Santa hat will be added to every figures, at every level. Also, the release dates will conveniently be delayed to december in order for the hat to make more sense.

- At $2,750,000: Todd McFarlane will add a cotton swab with his DNA on it to every levels of the Kickstaster.

- At $3,000,000: Todd McFarlane will give you a phone call to thank you himself for ordering the figures, if you ordered the 3-pack. He may also chat with you about a selection of different subjects, which will be revealed when the stretch goal is reached. (we have heard the weather could be one of the options!) (U.S. only).

- At $10,000,000: Todd McFarlane himself will deliver the figures in person to everybody, will come inside your home if invited, pet your dog, help himself in your fridge, and compliment your house decoration.

There might be more after that, but ToyFarce News would love to know what YOU would like to see as a stretch goal, for the upcoming McFarlane Toys Kickstarter Remastered Spawn figure. (Wrong answers only!)

JAWSOME 90'S FIGURES COMING BACK THANKS TO KICKSTARTER !

BREAKING NEWS:

JAWSOME 90'S FIGURES COMING BACK THANKS TO KICKSTARTER !

First of all, ToyFarce News would like to wish you a happy Easter!

The biggest story coming out of last week was the McFarlane Toys Spawn Kickstarter, a crowdfunding campaign to produce a remastered version of the very first Spawn action figure from 1997. The campaign was very successful, as it reached its $100,000 goal within minutes, and sits around $1,200,000 and counting, at time of writing.

This has shown other brands that there is a demand for remastered, revamped versions of our beloved 90's toys. This is why the American toy giant Mattel has started a campaign of their own, and it is a JAWSOME one: the first Street Sharks Kickstarter campaign!

Street Sharks was an animated series about crime-fighting half-men/half sharks that aired between 1994 and 1997. The most memorable things about Street Sharks were the amazing figures that came out of it. One of the best features of the figures was their 'real-feel shark skin', which was some sort of soft rubber, which made the figures really feel different.

The first figure to be re-released will be Ripster. As Vin Diesel said: "he's the leader of the Street Sharks, he's a great white, he's got real-feel shark skin, and his special power is the right-hand roundhouse punch. He sends the competition to a watery grave". To hear more about Street Sharks from Vin Diesel (we are not kidding), click here!

The packaging will be the exact same one as the original figures from 1994. If the first Street Sharks Kickstarter campaign is successful, Mattel is planning to release the 4 main characters (Ripster, Jab, Streex and Big Slammu) in their remastered, more jawsome, more articulated version, with even more real-feel shark skin!

MORTAL KOMBAT 11 SPAWN FIGURE EARLY REVIEW... BUT IT'S THE WRONG FIGURE

BREAKING NEWS: 

MORTAL KOMBAT 11 SPAWN FIGURE EARLY REVIEW... BUT IT'S THE WRONG FIGURE 

Fans all over the world have been excited to learn that not only Todd McFarlane's creation, Spawn would be joining the roster of the hit video game Mortal Kombat 11, but also that we would be getting a new Spawn figure from McFarlane Toys! People have already started finding those 'in the wild' in Walmarts and Gamestops, while others ended up seeing their preorders delayed online. 

ToyFarce News has managed to secure one of those coveted action figures through one of our most trusted source, in order to give you a full review of it! 

First of all, the packaging is very different than what was on the promo pictures. It was supposed to be a Mortal Kombat themed window box packaging with a green background and the figure we received had a black and blue blister with Spawn's face in the background (see picture in lower left corner). 

After opening the figure, we noticed that it had way less articulations than what was advertised. It was supposed to be "designed with Ultra Articulation, with up to 22 moving parts for full range of posing", while the figure we received only had the neck, arms, elbows, wrists, legs and knees articulated, so about 11 points of articulations instead of 22. It is a bit of a disappointment. 

Also, no cape? That is really strange... The figure seen on all the promo pics had a cape. That is another disappointment. So far, we are not very impressed with this Spawn offering from McFarlane Toys... Then, we were surprised to see that the figure came with so much accessories, which were not advertised! A gun, a grenade launcher, and not one, but two bandoliers full of bullets. They can be worn by the figure. 

After further inspection, it seems that the figure has a date of 1997 written on it. It is pretty crazy to imagine that McFarlane Toys had already planned to make a figure for the Mortal Kombat 11 game more than 11 years before it came out! Such clairvoyance is clearly what makes McFarlane Toys such a great brand! 

Overall it is a nice figure, the details and the paint app are great, and it is always a pleasure to get a new Spawn figure, especially after all this time. It is a bit of a let-down compared to the promo pictures, though. We had been waiting for so long to get a Spawn with today's level of articulations, and, even if there is way less articulation than advertised, it still could have been a bit better. 

EDITORIAL NOTE: it seems that ToyFarce News has been scammed and was given a Spawn figure from the 1997 Spawn movie figure line, instead of the new Mortal Kombat 11 one. We are currently waiting for an answer from our provider. To be fair, it's an honest mistake...

MORE TOY COMPANIES TO USE CROWDFUNDING AFTER MCFARLANE TOYS SPAWN KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCEMENT ?!

BREAKING NEWS:

MORE TOY COMPANIES TO USE CROWDFUNDING AFTER MCFARLANE TOYS SPAWN KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCEMENT ?!

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.
