Todd McFarlane - Spawn.com - Puppet/ Figure
Little be about Todd McFarlane:
He started working at Marvel/Epic Comics in 1984 pencilling characters like Spiderman, Incredible Hulk and many others. He also worked on characters like Batman titles Detective, 2 issues of Batman: Year 2 from DC Comics.
After a few months after his first daughter was born, him and a few other artist from Marvel left that company and create their very own independent company called Image Comics. The artist that left Marvel are Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Jim Valentino, Erik Larson, Marc Silvestri and Whilce Portacio. Even thou they published together they worked on their own individually characters. At Image Comics he published a comic he had done 10 YEARS before called 'Spawn'. The first issue was shipped in 1992 and sold 1.7 million copies around the world in 16 different languages.
Later one he wanted his character 'Spawn' to be a toy/ figure. After asking toy companies if they would make them to his expectations of good quality and detailed figures. When he couldn’t find some one who would so he created McFarlane Toys. From where he moved on from producing 'Spawn' to characters or artist or people from recreating characters from music artist (KISS, Rob Zombie, AC/DC and many others), films (Sherk, Austin Powers, Jaws and many others), games, comics and people from the sport world (Football, Baseball, Basketball and Hockey).
His figures:
Puss 'n' Boots if you go on the web site the figure it self is really detailed from the colours to the marks made in the figure where the fur would be the texture are great. Very last detail is there the shadows on the boots the platform the figure is standing on are so detailed you can’t believe. I would have to guess that the figure was hand painted to be able to get so much detail.
Gate Keeper and Bigfoot this figure to me looks real like is a picture from the film it self, the detail in the two figure is amazing the texture in them and the colours too.
