Spawn figures didn't become little statues until the beginning of the 2000s and they carried on as such until about 2008 or 2009. I bought quite a number of the different plastic statues because I did like some of the poses like the issue 43 one where Spawn's supported by a metal rod to give him a flying effect and his cape is all crazy around him. This new offering on the other hand has a very vanilla pose so it's a pass, as a creation of the '90s Spawn looks "extreme" and he needs extreme poses to keep it cool.

right.....
when i looked at the pic i was like....Don't I own that figure already.
He should license his own character out and let someone else have a go at it... simultaneously...
Other companies do it all the time. Lets have some Figuarts, and Hot Toys Spawns as well.(so they can actually move)

Even Neca, that started with Action Figures....but not good ones.

As he said above :D "here is your Freddy Figure, you can move Head and 1 Arm and thats it"

Now the Ultimate Versions will follow, even from Older Predator Figures, that had very good articulation in the Beginning.

It is because even Neca realized what fans really want.

There are statue collectors out there, i know, but i think
ever collector wants to....change the poses of the Action Figures on the shelve from time to time.
