I just can’t watch horror it gives me nightmares. Sad as there are some good films and merchandise.

I know a couple of people who are the same regarding horror. Can understand as some of it is very grisly or creepy. Not everyone’s cup of tea (especially before bedtime!).

Ah yes ol’ Toddy has always manufactured some stunning figures and statues, I have a number of his Spawn figures from back in the nineties, and, awesomely, he’s currently doing a terrific range of DC figures of which I recently picked up the Golden Eagle armour Wonder Woman and Azrael avenging angel figures! Great post my friend!! 🙂

Hi Arcane, thanks 🙂 Bet those DC figures are a blast! You’re going to love it when I post all the Spawn pages then – featuring an incredible range of Spawn figures produced by McFarlane. And that’s just from two catalogues! Brilliant he made so many.

Wonder take on these classic movie monster with these posters for this great Todd McFarlane range! Especially that Movie Maniacs 2 poster featuring Pumpkinhead, would’ve loved to have that action figure!

Yeah, the two catalogues I got are full of toy goodness from McFarlane, but I think those Monsters and Movie Maniacs are my faves!

Hi TVTA, it is as if his 2 dimensional art has escaped the pages and screens and become truly 3D and terrifying! Some really neat toys/figurines.
And did you know there were some very rare (or non-existent) books to accompany the figures of his “Monsters” range? There was “Frankenstein – How to get a head in monster making” and the book “Dracula – My job in a blood bank sucks” 😀

Hi FT, yes I read somewhere about the books but haven’t seen any. The figures are exceptional, and the two catalogues I picked up are full of them – ranging from Austin Powers to Ozzy Osbourne to Spawn. More posts to come!
