Any details would be welcome.

I don’t know if there is bad blood. I know many sculptors jumped to neca because they were tired of sculpting hockey players. Once Todd lost that big lawsuit he was in big trouble...maybe bankruptcy....I don’t remember....but just in the last year or so I remember a story about his company emerging from financial trouble and now he was in a great place. That is why he is going gun-ho on properties. Now Todd can come off as arrogant some times....though I have always found him very down to earth and easy to talk to. I,and many conversed with him on the spawn board....awe memories....I even was talking with him about doing twin peaks figures....of course now with the return that would be even more amazing....back to it. There are lots of fans for neca and mcfarlane to co-exsist.

That said,I believe the dc stuff will be beyond what he is doing now. He set the standard in the 90’s for other companies. Now let’s see him do it again. Expectations are very high,but so are his. He is an artist first,he will delivery that. We need him to be a fan as well. That means articulation. He knows he is now taking the place of Mattel and dc collectibles. That is a tall order. He will put more pressure on himself than we ever could . He will deliver. That said,I also want new spawn!
