Spawn is one of my all time favorite Comic Characters and I've been waiting so long for a super articulated figure that actually has joints that can be used to put the toy in various poses, as opposed to a variation of the static pose the figure is sculpted into.

McFarlane already did a highly articulated Spawn figure in its Image 10th anniversary line and it didn't go over nearly as well as any of the statue figures with the general fans. Nobody called it a bad figure but there definitely wasn't an outcry for them to do more like it. I think the big thing that makes Spawn work a lot better as a statue-toy anyway is his cape, Spawn has the most dynamic cape among other comic characters so then they can't make it cloth since it needs to be in its own pose. It'd be really weird to have a Spawn toy with a pose but then to always have the cape fixed (or even worse just limp) behind him that doesn't match.
