*ACTION FIGURE LINE AND ONLINE COMIC*
* *
*TEMPE, Ariz. *– For the unprecedented 30^th line of Spawn action
figures, McFarlane Toys is taking a departure from the Spawn line’s
traditionally shadowy world and re-imagining it as a hyperkinetic,
high-energy adventure in the tradition of the great Saturday morning
cartoons. Eye-popping color, articulated, streamlined figures – many
with interchangeable heads and hands – and a dynamic new storyline will
bring fans a Spawn they may never have imagined.
Seven new action figures comprise the Spawn 30 lineup, including Spawn
and a cadre of heroes and villains:
– Spawn X
– Redeemer
– Omega Spawn
– Overtkill the Destroyer
– Codename: Cy-Gor
– Lord Mammon
– Tiffany the Amazon
Leading up to the November 2006 release of the Spawn 30 action figures,
McFarlane’s Web site, Spawn.com is releasing an online feature,
beginning with an evolving online comic, /The Adventures of Spawn/.
Drawn by celebrated comic artist Khary Randolph and written by Jonathan
David Goff, /The Adventures of/ /Spawn/ online comic includes complete
character biographies, a story-specific glossary and actual comic book
pages, posted in four-page increments. It will all culminate in a
comprehensive online feature that will include action figure and
packaging photography, QuickTime VR movies, downloadable desktop
wallpapers and information on where this highly collectible line will be
sold.
Already, the response has been impressive. The first segments of /The
Adventures of Spawn/ instantly ranked among the most-viewed pages on
Spawn.com when posted online in late August.
