I'm a big fan too! ;D lol! I've been collecting for several years now, but I often find myself holding back on buying them because I spend so much money on Zoids and Transformers. Most of my McFarlane stuff is Spawn related, but I also have Dorathy and Tin Woodsman, as well as an old interlink fig. And Skull Queen is still one of the hottest female figs yet. Man, I just checked spawn.com and pics of the new Movie Maniacs are up! Finally a good Robocop figure!! I'm so excited! And... today I found all six Spawn Reborn Series 2 figs at Wal-Mart for $7.98 a piece! I bought four of the six (Mandarin Spawn, Cyber Spawn, and both She-Spawns.) I just recently bought Vlad the Impaler and will probably go back for Billy the Kid soon. I'd like to get them all, but I just don't have the space. My girlfriend collects McFarlane toys too ( I wouldn't have it any other way. She has all of the Tortured Souls (Talisac is her favorite), several 'Oz' figures, including the Flying Monkeys, and several random Spawn related figures. Of course we both have our own individual Mandarin Spawns. I'm still on the look out for the Samurai Spwan 2-pack from KB's. It seems kind of funny that I still pay for these guys. Granted, I can just write them off, but still, I feel like I should have a McFarlane employee discount card or something. Even before I began working for these guys last October, I always considered McFarlane to have the top sculptors in the industry, and damn, they just keep getting better and better.

Hey GP, could you maybe ask your bosses to do some more Soul Calibur 2 figs? None of the ones that were released were any of the characters I particularly liked. Now if there was Nightmare or Talim.....

Haha, I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. My job is to design what Todd or my boss wants. I doubt I have enough clout there for anyone to pay attention to what I would like to see. If that were true, Robocop would have been done years ago, in several different versions, along with ED-209; I'd have Todd buy the rights to produce Mortal Kombat figs and do those (including a 12" Baraka ;D), and also a line of Dinosaurs! But, that's not my call to make. Besides, from what I gather, the Soul Caliber figs didn't seem to catch on too well, and I haven't heard or seen anything about a series 2. Sorry. I was actually hoping for a Sophitia figure (ahhh...Sophitia....)

Hmmm...that's cool but I'm not a fan of the anime look. I really like the look of her in the first Soul Calibur, more realistic. If it looked like this I'd buy it. ;D

is there a misturugi or a yoshimitstu figure? No. These are ths figures that were made for the line: ASTAROTH IVY NECRID NIGHTMARE VOLDO SPAWN Supposedly they were intended to be 6" figures, but got sized down to about 3". I'm not sure why, but it probbaly had something to do with production costs. Unfortunatly, I think it was the downsizing that killed the line.

Unfortunatly, I think it was the downsizing that killed the line. the appeal for meeh was the fact their figs were 6 1/2 to 12 inches depending on the character the new ones that are 3 inches and the wierd downsized ones ala onimusha2 or that ultima onlines turned my interest for awhile

Anyone else picked up any of the new Spawn Reborn 2 figs? Here's a quick review of what I think of the one's I bought: Cyber Spawn- cool figure. The details and the white parts would really lend itself to inkwash detailing ala Gundam. I can't say it's an improvement on the original black Cyber Spawn, but it's just as good. Not my favorite Spawn fig, but I didn't have a version of it yet, and they only had one, so I bought it. A bit bulky, but the articulation is good, and can be posed various ways. score=7Mandarin Spawn- arguably the best Spawn figure ever, this new version is quite impressive. I think I still prefer the original red version simply because it's more Chinese, but the paint job on this new one is excellent. The primary bone coloring is an original choice, and the paint apps emphasize details overlooked on the previous versions. It comes with an extra accessory as well- a gold rope to tie around the hip sheath. Kind of unneccessary, but a nice touch. And don't let the akward packaging configuration throw you, Mandarins Spawn may look like he's dancing, but he's still bad ass! Worth buying. score=9Manga She-Spawn- I wasn't sure if I wanted this one at first, and now I'm still not sure if I should have bought it. The figure is cool, and IMO the colors are a vast improvement over the original purple and silver. The hair is longer on this version and is red. Her face is the same but painted like a Spawn mask with black and white coloring. Looks kind of weird, but not bad. The helmet is really cool, but it won't stay on well at all. I really don't like the weapon. It's...it's just ugly. But she doesn't look right without it, either. Not bad. An improvement on the original, but they should have corrected the helmet problem and given her a new, cooler weapon to hold. Good if you're into McFarlane females. score=6She-Spawn 2- Oh yeah! I'll just start by saying that the pictures on the internet don't do it justice at all. I mean I knew I was going to buy it what I found out abou it, since this mold is one of my all time favs anyway, but now that I have it...damn! Such an awesome figure. The colors are much stronger and contrasty than the original version. It makes the original look like a monochromatic prototype. Tons of extra details are enhanced by the new paint job, along with some extra detailing. And the red colors really bring out the green left eye. And instead of a short stock of hair this one has a foot length dark brown ponytail. AND, they threw in a standing base! I'm so happy about that because my other She-Spawn 2 falls over all the time on account of the huge gun. No more sticky tac! I can't say enough about this one. It's now my all time favorite McFarlane figure. If you care about Spawn figures at all, or hot demon women with huge weapons, then get this figure! score=10I hope this is helpfull to someone. ;D

I went to a KB outlet in South Carolina today and found a bunch of new Creech figs for $9.88! They also had the Spawn the Dark ages deluxe box set (the one with the horse from Spawn 24) for $12.98. I picked up a Creech, but didn't want the other. Creech rocks, though!
