Every time this Spawn Kickstarter get a new stretch goal this Kickstarter goes to the front of the site. This is a good toy news site, but why so much attention to this Kickstarter, it funded in 12 minutes. It doesn't need all this attention. Sectaurs by Zica didn't get this kind of coverage either

IIRC, Sectaurs got a couple of headlines during its KS campaign.

But, yeah,I don't know...it's not as if this place is bustling with a ton of activity and the Spawn KS is keeping people from missing other things here. And anyway, McFarlane has been around for decades at this point and is something of a major player in the toy industry, so the company doing a KS campaign that is doing crazy numbers IS a huge deal and newsworthy, IMO. Also, while I personally don't care about Spawn and didn't back, I'm fascinated by this because I feel like the success of this could have ramifications within the toy industry with more of the major players going the crowd funding route.
