I’m not a big Todd McFarlane fan, but I do love Spawn and I still read the comics occasionally. I kind of fell out of love with some of the series with a lot of the writing changes they were doing in the underlying plots and subplots, but that’s a different story. I recently just got into collecting the Spawn figures and this one is more than just a sharp looking action figure. How many times when you go into the store do you see an action figure that’s just a cheap molded piece of plastic with cheap craftsmanship. A lot of the new Batman and Spiderman figures truly are unimpressive and I really can’t bring myself to buy one since I would be feeling I’m not getting my money’s worth. That’s not the case with the Spawn figures on the other hand. These recreational “toys” for the true fan bring to life some of the most Spawn art to life in detailed and extremely well crafted collectible figures. It doesn’t come with a manual, but assembly of the accessories isn’t hard to figure out and put together (for most of the Spawn figures anyway). It’s a nice looking figure when it’s put together, and the nice thing about a lot of the Spawn figures is they have adjustable body parts so you can put them in stances battling each other when you have a collection going to decorate your living room, bedroom, or wherever you put them. These figures are hard to rate sometimes because certain criteria are too broad or just don’t apply. An example would be the fun rating. I use the figures to decorate my entertainment center and I do have them battling each other. From time to time I’ll change their positions around and have different figures facing off, that to me is fun. Others might not see it that way. So, I decided to be fair and give the fun an average rating of 3 stars. I gave educational 3 stars as well because, no, these figures don’t teach children anything of real importance by today’s standards, but for people whom are into Spawn or want to get into Spawn they are educational in the abstract sense they bring the characters to life. The artwork from the comics is used to craft the figures, and in some cases the comic art is duplicated into the figure exactly as you would see that character in any particular issue (mainly in the ‘Art of Spawn’ or the ‘Classic Comic Covers’ series). So, they are educational in the sense that they will give you more insight into the characters of the different Spawn series and into Spawn overall. I’m pleased with all of my figures.
