The backboard also serves as a slipcover for a comic, and unlike the original figure, this comic is based on Spawn issue #1. It’s not 100% “collector-friendly,” as some of the accessories, and Spawn himself, are held in place with plastic ties that one must delicately cut. McFarlane figures, this clamshell opens and reseals with ease. Remove that layer, and the figure’s clamshell packaging is underneath. The bonus head there is a screaming unmasked face. In the three-pack, the autograph plaque comes with the Classic, and hides a giant sword underneath. Anyone who ordered this figure by itself with an autograph probably has the autographed plaque right below. This, along with the masked head on the classic version, has an extra neck joint. To anyone buying Modern Spawn in the three-pack, those are a rocket-launcher gun, necro-knife, necroplasm blast, and Al Simmons head. Remove the top layer of foam, and the figure gets partly revealed, along with compartments in the foam to hold his bonus accessories. Mortal Kombat Spawn best represents this look, and the difference is clear: The actual modern style has a more ragged cape and textured symbiote body, while the classic goes for a more classic spandex appearance. He’s a repaint of the classic costume, with the big gauntlet and giant boot added. Modern Spawn really isn’t exactly the modern version. Items included may be different if purchased alone. This review mainly covers the “modern” variant, as purchased in the group three-pack.
The company produced three variants, which ship in different iterations with different accessories depending upon how they were ordered. Kickstarter Spawn sees McFarlane Toys remaking their very first Spawn action figure from the ground up, now in 7-inch scale rather than 5-inch. Todd McFarlane explicitly intends to do more of these so it’s worth looking at what makes them premium collectibles, versus Walmart offerings with gold stickers. Why review a Kickstarter figure, when it’s only available to non-backers at ridiculous scalper prices? Simple.
