From McFarlane Toys’ 1990s line of Spawn action figures here are four of Hell’s most infamous demons: Malebolgia, a demon lord from the Eighth Circle of Hell; and his demonic children Vandalizer, Vertebreaker, and Violator who make up part of the collective known as the Phlebiac Brothers and are in charge of training Malebolgia’s army of Hellspawn.

Malebolgia is from the 1995 Spawn Series 2 line.

Violator II is from the 1995 Spawn Series 3 line.

Vertebreaker is from the 1995 Spawn Series 3 line.

Vandalizer is from the 1996 Spawn Series 5 line.

When a pipe broke in my garage these items happened to be in a cardboard box on the floor. Though the water never reached more than a couple of centimeters high the water was soaked up by the cardboard box and by the backboards of the packages containing these figures as well. The figures themselves did not get wet. I decided just to remove the backboards and place them into Ziploc bags. (Though, the figure of Malebolgia proved to be a little too big to be sealed completely in a Ziploc bag.) The only time I have removed the items from their bags since then was to take these pictures.  None of the parts are missing and as you can tell from the pictures the items are in excellent condition.

Todd McFarlane’s Spawn is arguably the most successful series to spawn from an Image title. Since the publication of the first issue in 1992 McFarlane’s Spawn has been made into a video game, an animated HBO series, a live action movie, and a successful toy line. 

If you are interested in these four figures, you can find them for sale as a package on… Will be posting soon.

1995 Youngblood figure of Rob Liefeld’s Troll by Todd McFarlane Toys

From Image comic’s creator Rob Liefeld, Bartholomew J. Troll is a government agent who has been working on the side of American ever since the Revolutionary War. A former member of the superhero teams Youngblood and Brigade, Troll is in fact a mythical troll and is over thousands of years old. Though naturally all covered in blue fur, he chooses to appear more like a grayed haired version of Wolverine.

Here is a 1995 Youngblood action figure of Rob Liefeld’s Troll by McFarlane Toys.

The only time I have removed the item from the bag since then was to take these pictures.  None of the parts are missing and as you can tell from the pictures the item is in excellent condition.

1996 Spawn Series 4 figure: Cy-Gor the cybernetic gorilla by Todd McFarlane Toys

In an attempt to create the ultimate supersoldier the entity simply known as “The Agency”, sanctioned an unholy project which would combine man, beast, and machine into one. The plan of Dr. Fredrick Whilhelm’s was to fuse the mind of Sergeant Stephen Smith with that of a silver back gorilla which he had enhanced with cybernetics. However, Dr. Whilhelm, who was apparently running the entire operation single-handedly, suffered a debilitating stroke leaving his work incomplete and as a result the mind of the monstrosity known as Cy-Gor would be more beast than originally planned. The then uncontrollable Cy-Gor eventually broke free from the layer of Dr. Whilhelm in order to extract his revenge on all those that had a part in his creation including his onetime mentor Al Simmons.

Here is a 1996 Spawn Series 4 action figure of the part beast/part man/part machine known as Cy-Gor by McFarlane Toys.

1999 Previews Exclusive 12" Caitlin Fairchild with Limited Edition Chromium Comic Book

When Image Comics started out one of my favorite comic-book series under their publication was Gen 13. Then unfortunately with all the breaks in publication of the series and a few rewrites of the characters' origins it kind of got hard for me to follow along. Now that the Wildsotrm Universe has been absorb into the DC Universe it seems that Gen 13 is no more. Well, at least for the time being. 

There are still plenty of comic book nerds out there who remember Gen 13 and of course their leader Caitlin Fairchild. If you are new to comics you still might get a chance to know her as she has reappeared in DC's New 52 Superboy series and is expected to star in the new Ravagers on going series by DC Comics.

For those that remember Caitlin from her Gen 13 days here is a 1999 Previews Exclusive 12" Catilin Fairchild with a Limited Edition Chromium Comic Book inside.

The box has a little wear and a few scuff marks from storage but has never been opened. I've seen a few versions of this figure around the web but not this one which features her hair in a ponytail.

1999 Mandarin Spawn: the Scarlet Edge by McFarlane Toys

McFaralane makes some cool looking figures and in my opinion Mandarin Spawn is one of the coolest. When the action figure of this character first came out in 1999 who would have thought the alter ego of this badass was originally a humiliated deformed man suffering from elephantiasis.

From McFarlane Toys' 1999 Spawn the Dark Ages Series this is Mandarin Spawn: the Scarlet Edge.

The package is still in excellent condition with very minor wear from storage.

1999 J. Scott Campbell's Danger Girl: Abbey Chase by McFarlane Toys

Abbey Chase is your Laura Croft joins Carlie's Angels heroine. She is the field-commander of a secret ops unit known as Danger Girl, which also happens to be the title of the on going series she stars in created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell.

I'm not quite sure how to label the followers of the Danger Girl series. Is it more of a cult following or has it already gone mainstream? I'm not sure if everyone knows about Danger girl yet but there has already been a Sony PlayStation video game based on it and one of it's latest series for 2012 was talked about in an article on the USA Today website. There's even talks of a live action movie in the works. Whatever the case maybe I think those not in the know will find out about Danger Girl and Abbey Chase soon enough.

So with that this is a 1999 Danger Girl's Abbey Chase action figure from McFarlane Toys.

It's a well sculpted figure which is typical from McFarlane Toys and it matches the drawing style of J. Scott Campbell perfectly.

The packaging is in excellent condition with only some slight scuffing on the back of the cardboard due to storage.
