McFarlane Toys – Action Figures with Comic DNA
Todd McFarlane was already a star long before the first figure left his factory: as a comic artist, he defined the look of Spider-Man in the late eighties, in 1992 he was among the founders of publisher Image Comics, where his antihero Spawn made his debut. His own toy company followed in 1994 – for the simple reason that he wanted to see Spawn on the shelf in exactly the detail he drew him. Today McFarlane Toys produces action figures for many of pop culture's biggest brands, above all the DC Multiverse line and the Space Marines from Warhammer 40,000. At Elbenwald you'll find a selection of them – from the poseable action figure to keychains and art prints to strictly limited editions for your display case.
What makes McFarlane figures special?
The signature style. Where other manufacturers deliver neutral standing poses, McFarlane figures look like they jumped straight out of a comic panel: twisted torsos, billowing capes, grimaces with backstory. The level of detail runs from the sculpt to the paintwork, which makes even scratched armor and fabric textures visible. Add to that a taste for variants: limited runs like the Gold Label editions quickly turn a collector line into a scavenger hunt with real hunting instinct. And because the boss himself spent decades drawing superheroes, even side characters get the grand entrance comic fans have always wished for them. Which joints, accessories, and extras an individual figure comes with is listed on its respective product page – worth a look before the competition beats you to it.
