McFarlane Spawn Kickstarter 2
 
Todd McFarlane Teases Medieval Spawn Kickstarter

Krunomo 10-15-2020 08:26 AM

If Todd gives him a neutral torso a cloth cape and as much articulation as his MK11 Spawn then i have no doubt the campaign will surpass his first one. Would love one with die cast armour.

Harbinger 10-15-2020 08:29 AM

I still have trouble wrapping my head around these major toy companies begging people to give them loads of money to make toys they should make themselves. I mean i get it....i just think its pretty janky.

Honestly I'd rather have this than NECA teasing us with clothed figures and then saying there's no market for ultimate versions, or toy shelves clogged with junk that won't sell

I'm with you on this one and I anticipate this is the direction several companies with an arm for collectors are going to start going, or at least something closer to the "made to order" models. I personally like the approach as it can help curtail scalping and minimize surplus, like you mentioned.

Good Smile Company is smaller than most people realize, but they seems to manage quite well with how they handle preorders and even are even willing run addition batches of figures based on market demand or resurging media popularity. I think 1000Toys also do something similar.

DarkEyes 10-15-2020 09:11 AM

Is this all McFcon day 1?

Not impressed at all, I was expecting A LOT OF pre-orders. Maybe tomorrow...

True but i see a lotta mcfartlame garbage clogging pegs that hasnt sold....including the once hot batman who laughs and nightwing along with those arkham figs and ww84 stuff. And i see every mcfartlame fortnite figs at discount stores.

Joe Moore 10-15-2020 09:18 AM

Fans: I can't find anything in stores. These companies are terrible.

Also Fans: I keep seeing their stuff in stores. These companies are terrible.

Sniper1 10-15-2020 09:28 AM

Always excited to see more Spawn figures; I won't be participating in this one due to the changes throughout the last one. If it does well I will roll the die on a secondary market figure; he adds all the articulation in the world to 3rd party figures but goes back to his roots with his.

With mcfarlane its i always see their stuff in stores. :p
And to be fair i have never been a real big fan of mcfartlame.

OriginalFire 10-15-2020 10:17 AM

I wish everything was made to order. It's a nightmare trying to get stuff. It's everything now. Transformers, MOTU Origins Masters of WWE and GI Joe. We have been getting a lot of good stuff with corporate crowd funding. I would rather a company spend the money putting something together and trying, than doing nothing. If people want it then good, if not then they dont. Look at HasLab Cookie Monster.

Ventus 10-15-2020 10:20 AM

I have to say it directly.

MCFarlane is BIG BIG...BIGGEST Assh**e when it
comes to his Spawn Figures.

As much as I love his Mortal Kombat Figures,
I also wanted some of his Spawn Figures.

But these are ONLY availabe through his Kickstarter.
Go and F*uck yourself MCFarlane.

I want Spawn, Medieval Spawn, Samurai Spawn
all made with the current Technology.
But No, "For Kickstarter People only"
and with High Expensive Shipping Cost also.

Assho*le. Just make them available for everyone,
just like the other Stuff from DC and MK.

Making Spawn available to "rich" People only.
That is beyond being an Assh*ole.

I'm sorry, what? He's not charging out the ass for these figures, and all you need is an internet connection, credit card/debit card/ paypal and a shipping address! What am I missing here that makes him an asshole? If anything this makes him better than most!

I heard People Complaining about High Expensive Shipping Cost
outside of USA.
> I am NOT willing to do that.
I want to buy these free and easy
from European Vendors

Second, People said at Kickstarter
> Credit Card only. I have no Credit Card, and
I do not need a Credit Card.

High Expensive Shipping Cost, No
Credit Card, No

Purchase free, cheap and easy from Vendors, Yes

He makes things far more complicated than he needs to.
I do not care if he charges 30$ or 50$ for a Spawn Figure,I have Money. But I will not buy them overpriced
and complicated through his Kickstarter shit.

And last: Kickstarter had a Time Limit.
Another "Fuc* you" Case. Kickstarter Time Limit over
> No purchases allowed anymore.
I know because I watched his Kickstarter Spawn.

He should just make them available for everyone.

this..

110%

protostar8 10-15-2020 11:31 AM

Maybe if he'd listen to fans and GET RID OF the pre-posed torso and sculpt then people would be happy to do another one. He should just stick to making statues if he wants a pre-posed statue look.

AceSimulacrum 10-15-2020 11:54 AM

We can have a big discussion of toy companies business models and practices and the issues with distribution and mass produce/made to order and still not come to any consensus. There are pros and cons to everything.

Most of us expected with the success of first Kickstarter Spawn he would come with Medieval Spawn. I've put my thoughts on what would be good in other threads. But in summary, Todd probably should have went with Medieval first, character in full armor can forgive some articulation limitations. Armor sculpting details plays to a strength of McFarlaneToys. Get some LEDs for glowing eyes effects for one of the heads and if he wants to wow us, make a deluxe version with an undead articulated war horse that can provide some level of weapons storage for weapons (sword, shield, axe, morningstar, lance). Just an idea with a horse and different saddles, armor/barding style.

But let's see a render or prototype first. Would be "funny" its an armored figure in a non-neutral pose.

Medieval Spawn Kickstarter Teased and Coming Soon

protostar8 02-25-2022 05:05 PM

Can Todd just stop already. He keeps wanting to make statue figures. Make neutral sculpts and let people do the posing.

Harbinger 02-25-2022 06:08 PM

Id rather he just release a regular retail medieval spawn fig instead of trying to get people to pay him tomake it. We all know itd sell.

Designincase 02-25-2022 08:58 PM

Toy companies are always being paid to make a product. Usually it's the store and then the end customer needs to make do with the inventory they ordered.

The problem with the kickstarter model is of course you miss out on that period of time. Vs having until inventory runs out. Additionally you may trust say BBTS to process your order then Mcfarlane.

I don't think Mcfarlane has made products where the kickstarter model would be better. They aren't insanely large or so out there. These items would certainly sell well online or in a physical store.

Then statues are a fair point. If Mcfarlane wants to make statues, then make statues. Make the best statue that can with arms/legs you can swap out. Don't bother messing around with the articulation.

Otherwise make the best posable figure possible, especially with a kickstarter campaign which should be encouraging them to make a product not feasible at a normal retail price.
