TODD MCFARLANE PRODUCTIONS LAUNCHES NEW KICKSTARTER FOR REMASTERED MEDIEVAL SPAWN ACTION FIGURE

Phoenix, AZ – August 14th, 2024 – Todd McFarlane proudly announces the launch of his second Kickstarter campaign, following the record-setting success of his remastered version of the Original Spawn Action Figure and Comic Book in 2020. The initial campaign shattered Kickstarter records in its category, attracting over 23,000 backers and raising more than $3.4 million, far surpassing its $100,000 goal. Funded in under 3 minutes and generating over a million dollars in just 24 hours, McFarlane’s first Kickstarter set a high benchmark. Building on this achievement, the new campaign is set to captivate fans once again.

The Remastered Medieval Spawn Action Figure and Comic Kickstarter campaign GOES LIVE 7:00 AM PST/10:00 AM EST AUGUST 20th, 2024, at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spawnmasterworks/original-medieval-spawn-action-figure-and-comic-remastered-24

The new Medieval Spawn Action Figure and Comic (2024) will be the most detailed figure McFarlane has been involved in within his 30 plus years in the toy industry. This Spawn figure will be available in three distinct color variations: the classic blue and red suit, a bold black variant, and an all-gray artist’s proof version. Each figure will be sold individually, with options for autographed and non-autographed versions. Additionally, there will be an autographed premium 3-pack that includes all three figures, perfect for fans looking to complete their collection. With the hope of adding over a dozen bonus pieces to each figure depending on the number of backers and stretch goals met, fans can anticipate an exciting campaign! McFarlane will also attempt to set another record at Kickstarter by vowing to deliver most of these figures in the fastest time ever seen by any toy offering in Kickstarter’s history.

KEY FEATURES:

  • The figure stands 7 inches tall with 32 points of articulation.
  • Each figure includes a comic with original art on the cover by the award-winning Todd McFarlane.
  • THREE Color Variations:
    • Classic Blue and Red
    • Black Variant
    • All-Gray Artist’s Proof
  • Each color variation available in autographed and non-autographed versions, with autographs done personally by Todd McFarlane on decorative nameplates.
  • Magnetic accessories for easy customization:
    • Standard Accessories: Long Sword, Round Shield, Classic Helmet, Right and Left Ornate Forearm Pads, Classic Chest Plate, and Skull Chain.
    • Exclusive Accessories for Each Color Variant:
      • Classic Blue Medieval Spawn: Valkyrie Helmet and Roman Helmet
      • Black Medieval Spawn: Roman Helmet and Hamburger Head with Closed Mouth
      • All-Gray Artist Proof Medieval Spawn: Valkyrie Helmet and Hamburger Head with Closed Mouth
  • Figures will be shipped worldwide, with all backers responsible for their estimated shipping costs.
    • Additional charges, such as regional taxes and customs fees, are NOT included and will vary based on your location.

 

Moreover, if the campaign reaches its TBA goals, backers can receive up to 14 additional BONUS accessories, providing even more options for customization and display.

In an attempt to set the fastest shipping record, McFarlane will depart from how traditional campaigns work, as he has already begun production on many of these figures, guaranteeing the quickest possible delivery. We will begin to ship to many of the backers during the holiday season, with some backers receiving their figures before Christmas.

The Medieval Spawn Action Figure and Comic (2024) will be packaged in a collector box with a slipcover to preserve its condition. The blister packaging with faithfully replicate the original 1995 design and includes a resealable shell that allows collectors to display their figures and comics, then return them to their packaging as if they had never been opened.

TODD: “This figure is easily the most detailed figure I’ve ever done in my 30 years of making action figures. I hope that it will not only appeal to fans of my Spawn comics and toys but will reach a wider appeal to those who like medieval/ancient/dark ages type themes. If it does, this figure should be able to break our previous Kickstarter record for backers and monies pledged. If so, there will be well over a dozen free bonus items I will include with each figure! It will also be delivered in the fastest way possible to most of the backers and fans of this campaign. And I will make it my goal to deliver these figures in the fastest manner that Kickstarter has seen for a fully manufactured item. High quality with speedy delivery at a fair price will always be a winning combination.”

“We’re excited to see Todd and Spawn return to Kickstarter for a second project. It’s an honor to have a seasoned and respected creator like Todd McFarlane come to our platform to bring new iterations of a beloved character to life. Todd’s record-breaking 2020 project showed us that when you mix the enduring appeal of Spawn with Kickstarter’s unique way of connecting creators directly with fans, incredible things happen. We can’t wait to see how this next campaign will fire up our community of supporters and push new boundaries in Kickstarter’s Comics category.” said Kickstarters Senior Comic Lead, Sam Kusek.
