That alone should show Todd that articulation is a must.Spawn Kickstarter launches for updated 1995 collectible figure Probably worth noting that the MK11 spawn sold out while the color tops Spawn is still easy to find retail at a relatively low price. The fact a third wave is coming and that Spawn figure is sold out shows that it's not even close to being a miss. The MK11 line isn't that bad and each wave is better than the last. The articulation on these is the best in their entire lineup and compares to Hasbro and NECA. They've released vehicles and other accessories. It's nearly 30 figures deep in less than two years. ![]() Ultimately, if he puts up a good product that is as good if not better than his MK11 Spawn it should do really well.Īs for existing lines these have been hit and miss but to say his fortnite line is bad and doesn't sell is plain wrong. If the campaign is successful we will likely see the rest of the lineup and in all likelihood they'll end up in stores. Take a wrong turn and your business goes sour.īy running a kickstarter he is publicly showing the damand his character does or doesn't have which may also help with getting the movie up and running. Secondly, by running a kickstarter he is guaging interest and reducing risk. As he says in interviews at Toy Fair getting a one off into a toy store is difficult. Stay safe bros.By running a kickstarter he is doing a few things. Im sure that Todd is a great guy, but with this, he is not acting well. Do it well, be humble, and think twice when you have ideas like this bad one. Lets see, we are talking of McFarlane Toys, we are talking of Todd McFarlane, a super sales with Spawn comics, HBO animated series, old school great figures from Spawn, AvP, and much, much others.I mean, I dont think that MFT has not a few grands in their account.Īnd now, in this world crisis, where people is passing much suffering and it seems that it comes more, do you want to start a kickstarter campaing?, why ? Because your last releases (MK scorpion, Destiny, Fornite) are pure shit and you dont sell?.Ĭome on, take the bussines seriously, you dont need excuses like a kickstarter campaing to remade the best and iconic 7" and 12" Spawn figures with ARTICULATION, make new ones with a decent paint job, and let us decide if we buy or not when we can see the final product. Yes, he's going to be the laughing stock of the toy world again if he decides to sell another Spawn statue masquerading as an action figure like what he did in recent years. Part of the reason why his initial Spawn line died a decade ago was aside from the fact that he likes rehashing his past figures, he stopped adding useful articulation as well. And the deck is already stacked against it due to the pandemic bullshit going on.Considering the fact that he doesn't like articulation on his figures in the first place (forgot where he said that), it won't be a surprise to me if he goes that way. ![]() If he does this will fail, and fail hard. But that said, in this day and age Todd would have to be a complete dunce to try and run a Kickstarter campaign this figure as nothing more than a glorified statue. ![]() No mention was made of adding articulation - or NOT adding articulation - so it's up in the air exactly what this figure will be until details are revealed on April 8 (this Wednesday). Todd displayed the prototype for this figure at Toy Fair, and in that form it was literally just a statue. I am also hearing some people say that they will not support the kickstarter but will buy if BBTS carries them, but also unsure what this means.Īlso, yeah, super bad time for doing this. The only thing I can think of is that Kickstarter does have a pretty wide reach and quite a large customer base that is always looking for new campaigns to back.I am wondering the exact same thing. That being said, I'm not sure why he is using the Kickstarter platform, instead of just putting up preorders on his site, like HasLab, and avoiding campaign fees. Some of these have no real source material and no tie-ins, so Wal-Mart, Target, etc. He also wants to bring back Movie Maniacs, Tortured Souls, Twisted Fairy Tales, etc., but just as smaller continuations. I think he is just using Spawn as a test, since it's his most well-known property. One of the reasons he is doing a campaign is because big retailers are hesitant about one offs or small series.
