McFarlane DC Multiverse Speed Metal Dark Flash (Gold Label) - Pictorial Review

On and off, McFarlane slowly releasing characters from the Death Metal arc, this time, specifically Speed Metal. Presenting Dark Flash from the Dark Multiverse.

The figure is released as a Gold Label to which I'm still not really sure the distinction).

When it was first revealed, I'm thrilled to find out that there are 3 head variants for Dark Flash. It's fun hunting the variants (if you've made peace with McFarlane not including the alternate heads).

However so far, I still haven't seen the other variants anywhere in the market

McFarlane MK11 Shadow of Spawn - Pictorial Review

My next McFarlane review, MK11 Shadow Of Spawn. I took a risk on this when the PO was online without the actual product image. 

But from the MK11 list of skins for Spawn, it's clear that it will be a homage to classics Spawn deco

They've been lazy in terms of Spawn's MK11 packaging. Well, easier to throw the box away later.

McFarlane Megafig Omega Spawn - Pictorial Review

This is something that took quite a short time between reveal and release. And honestly, I don't enjoy the unplanned purchases. But looking at the first online image, yeah, this is right up my alley.

Presenting, Omega Spawn, one of the oldest Hellspawns.

Right of the bat..that's a waste of space. It obviously is. The box could've been shrunk down half the size which would've made shipping cost lower. Not to mention the storage space for those who's keeping the box.

McFarlane DC Multiverse Black Adam (Black Adam Movie) - Pictorial Review

There's no point having Sabbac from Black Adam movie, if you don't have Black Adam himself. While I'm still contemplating the other 4 characters (depending on how the movie goes) Black Adam was a quick 'Yes', back when he was just revealed.

Although initially I was thinking of getting the hooded version but after seeing some issues with it, I opted for unhooded version.

Right out of the box, I'm fairly impress. The figure is beautifully sculpted.

McFarlane Black Adam Movie Megafic Sabbac - Pictorial Review

Now for a figure that wasn't in my list

Sabbac, the supposed antagonist for the upcoming DC Black Adam movie (supposed as I don't know what's the plot of the movie)

McFarlane SDCC 2022 Megafig Manga Spawn - Pictorial Review

An unexpected purchase. A shop opened of "SDCC Spawn" without any pictures or details and before it was revealed by Todd. The PO was priced at normal figure and I thought, why not.

As luck would have it, it turns out to be a Megafig. And the seller honor the PO price, thanks seller.

Now, for one of the most unpopular Spawn figure revealed ever in the new line. Manga Spawn.

The most comments during the revealed was the striking and cheap-look blue color. And I would have to agree to some extend, a darker color or a darker shade of blue would've been better.

Make it simple, if you can't get past the color and the design, he's no longer your cup of tea. But if you're still okay, let's proceed.

McFarlane MK11 Commando Spawn - Pictorial Review

Next up, something that I really looked forward to, before the Covid fiasco.

I'm actually not sure yet, how will I draw the line for Spawn releases. How different is considered different?

Commando Spawn, another MK11 skin. I contemplated on on getting him when he was first announced but decided to just proceed.

And I was not disappointed. The aesthetic and overall feel of the figure is awesome. 

McFarlane Deluxe Throne Spawn - Pictorial Review

When Deluxe Throne Spawn was revealed, there were mix feelings. While it is a nice throwback to the old McFarlane release, some thought that it's just another Spawn repaint. So, it is worth it?

Let's see

McFarlane DC Multiverse Endless Winter Aquaman - Pictorial Review

A step forward towards completing my Justice League, as a response to the Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse. For my Aquaman, I opted for the Endless Winter version, even though knowing McFarlane, a clean-shaven Arthur will come out later down the line.

He's quite basic, comes with just a trident. But it's Aquaman, it's not like he should come with a fish. 2 things glaringly obvious. 1) is the soft-plastic trident where you can see minor bend and unevenness. 

McFarlane Netflix Witcher Roach w/ Gunslinger Spawn - Gallery

 A new addition to my Spawn lineup, borrowing outside of their line. Despite Todd revealing upcoming Gunslinger and horse combo, I think it's a hassle to sell back the previous Gunslinger and buying the new on.

So instead, I opted for Netflix Witcher's Roach. Not gonna do a full review, just few pictures.

McFarlane MegaFig Cygor - Pictorial Review

Another McFarlane release. Truth be told, he wasn't that high in my priority list, just thought buying him as part as the lineup.

Also, saw few reviewers complaint about him not able to stand upright and stuck in the gorilla pose. Let us see

First and foremost. The sculpt is great! Really impressive. Out of the box, you can feel the his weight, almost like handling Violator.

McFarlane She-Spawn w/ Batman Drifter Bike - Gallery

Not a full review, just sharing pictures of my She-Spawn using The Batman's Bruce Wayne drifter bike. Compatibility wise, it's almost perfect. But the hands are a bit too short so you need to try and pose her so that she can grab the handles. 

The drifter bike comes with a helmet where the socket is standard size (as far as I know). However, for my She-Spawn, I can't detach the neck joint that's stuck to her head so I used 3D printed neck joint originally for Witcher's Geralt. If you're printing that, reduce the length a bit and you're good to go

McFarlane Deluxe She-Spawn - Pictorial Review

End of long holiday, business as usual.

Bought her for quite some time already but only had a chance to take pictures and reviewing her. No doubt, one of the most anticipated McFarlane releases recently

She-Spawn release as a Deluxe, with 2 assault rifles, sniper rifle, sword, axe and alternate hand (well, and the standard base)

Figure wise, she looks awesome. The detailing, head to toe is impressive. That's the first impression I got when I took her out of the tray.

McFarlane Soul Crusher - Pictorial Review

Haven't had the time to take pictures due to being busy with work things. Gotten quite a few new stuff from McFarlane and Transformers since then.

For this round, let us do McFarlane Soul Crusher

I honestly don't know much about this character, aside from some online reading.

McFarlane Gold Label Series Mandarin Spawn (Blue) - Pictorial Review

Mandarin Spawn in general is something I never planned on getting, due to the fact that the aesthetic don't really coincide with other Spawns released.

But a friend shared his purchase of Mandarin Spawn Deluxe version which seems quite cool. Scouting around, I found someone selling all 3 variants for roughly the price of Mandarin Spawn Deluxe. So why not?

I'll start with my least favorite out of the 3, Gold Label Mandarin Spawn (Blue) version.

Like I said, the design is unconventional as far as general Spawn design is concern. But he's not new, first appearing in 2007 in Spawn #165

McFarlane Malefik Spawn - Pictorial Review

 Another Spawn. Yeah you heard me

It seems that I'm in quite deep as far as these new Spawn releases are concerned. 

This time, is Malefik Spawn, designed as skin for Mortal Kombat 11 game.

I'm not sure about you guys but the most glaring difference I see in this release is the silver deco on his face, which seems...odd. Somehow it reminded me of the mask of a killer in 90s slasher movie (not saying it's good or bad though).

McFarlane Gunslinger Spawn - Pictorial Review

Busy time, had been crazed by a lot of work stuff. 

Gunslinger Spawn was not my favourite back then, choosing Raven due to his aesthetic. But I'm fairly surprised by how much I'm enjoying him

McFarlane Violator - Pictorial Review

 I think I've been reviewing McFarlane stuff non stop and haven't do any Transformers reviews lately.

Oh well...

Next, you can't have a hero without his villain. Another Megafig by McFarlane, Spawn's Violator

McFarlane Raven Spawn - Pictorial Review

I used to have just one side line aside from my Transformers collection, which was ML X-Men (technically 2, the other was Black Series but by just collection unique Jedi and Sith, I get at most 2-3 per year)

McFarlane changed that for me, with the DC Multiverse releases. Batman: Metal, Death Metal then JL Snyder Cut. Still, with a small set of releases, consider those just filling the gap between TF releases.

Then I bought MK11 Spawn and ruined the dynamic. It opens the floodgate to many more Spawn releases.

Presenting, Raven Spawn

McFarlane MK11 Spawn (Sword Version) - Pictorial Review

Up next, another McFarlane review. Yes, I've been reviewing less Transformers due to the fact that I don't really buy the whole line anymore for Generations but rather getting just those that fits my intended displays (Headmasters-Masterforce-Victory). However I'm still collecting the Legend+ scale and Studio Series releases.

McFarlane Mortal Kombat 11 Spawn sword version was the first variant released before the mace and axe version. I've been on the fence ever since the release due to not being a hardcore fan of Spawn, just generally love the aesthetic.

However got a chance to grab him at lower than current market price so, why not?

He's as I imagined he would be, in a good way. The overall feeling of handling him is satisfying.
