As it is, now places like Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth have it up for preorder, but it arrives in May, not March. Scalpers are loving this.

So, "don't worry if you can't find one" eh? I think McFarlane needs to try and make more accurate announcements, make sure the stores they list actually have what they say they should have, and increase supply with demand. I think they underestimated how popular this figure would be.

I feel you. They made it seem like anyone who wanted one will get one this week. Both Amazon and GameStop dropped theirs early. Also, if you don't type in the right wording, it won't show up.

Which BTW the McFarlane site that had the announcement with the link to the figures doesn't work. It won't bring up any Spawn figures. But you manually type in "Mortal Kombat Spawn figure", that is when Walmart will show it's results for one, in stock or not.

I am willing to lay odds that this will be the only Articulated Spawn figure coming out. Going forward will be plastic statues again.

I kind of wish another company can take over for Spawn merch. There is clearly demand for it, and even if McFarlane continues going forward with Spawn, will it be any good.

I feel like all efforts to making good figures went into this one and that's it. I have yet to pull the trigger on any of the DC figures because of their poor execution.
