There's been many different takes of Spawn over the years. Like some kind of hellish Barbie, he's been a cowboy, a pirate, a samurai...you name it. Which interpretation tickled your fancy the most?

Some of my picks:

Zombie Spawn


Released in the late 90s when their toys where still TOYS and they were amping up the detail to boot. Plus, what's not to love about a zombie with guns and a big damn chainsaw?

Manga Samurai Spawn



I remember this guy being a little on the rubbery and flimsy side but it's a pretty damn sleek design, probably my favorite from the "manga" lines.

Spawn the Black Knight


This is a wonderfully detailed bulky bastard that still has playable articulation, and a totally bad ass weapon. Plus, the helmet is removable, relieving since they usually went for the hamburger head look as a hard to find variant.

Mandarin Spawn


An obvious choice. Not so great on articulation, but it's got to be one of the coolest examples of this company's love for painstakingly ornate detail and the thing is almost 10 years old now. Good accessories too, even if he can't do much with em.

Spawn the Blood-Axe


From the Viking Age line, one of the last where we got any decent movement from McFarlane figures, and they pulled it off very well with most points of articulation hidden in the sculpt or under armor. I almost prefer the box set version, packaged with his horse Thunderhoof, but the single carded one does have the better weapon, and it looks more menacing what with the ever so charming worm filled mouth.

And finally, if we're gonna do a version of Al Simmons:



Spawn IV, "the Arsenal of Doom." Articulation is only ok - he's got a V crotch with no knees, but hey, he's armed to the teeth and anytime they ridiculously treated Spawn like your run of the mill 90s super hero full of gun belts, extraneous pouches, and no less than an entire ton of firepower about his person (er, Hellspawn?) I was kind of into it. I think there are a few versions of the Al Simmons Spawn that either look better or work better as toys, but for me, this is one of the best ones that fall somewhere in the middle.

SO NOW, feel free to look back and pick your own favorites
