Spawn creator Todd McFarlane’s new figure has fans obsessed with its feet
McFarlane ToysA newly announced Todd McFarlane figure is catching the eyes of fans, but only because they’re focused on the bare feet it comes with.
McFarlane Toys is ringing in 30 years of business, with a line that started with some fairly basic Spawn action figures in 1994.
From those auspicious beginnings, the company has only grown. They’re now the stewards of the DC Multiverse line, and the company is revered for its detailed sculpts across various lines covering The Princess Bride, Mortal Kombat, and, of course, Spawn.
Today the company announced new figures of Todd McFarlane and Spawn at IGN FanFest. However, fans are only focused on one aspect of the two-pack: Todd’s bare feet.
Fans are obsessed with Todd McFarlane’s swappable feet
In a somewhat unexpected move, the two-pack includes a pair of swappable bare feet for the Todd figure.
“Set includes optional Todd’s bare feet.” Twitter toy news account Preternia pointed out as a highlight in their post announcing the pre-orders.
The rest of the two-pack is fairly stacked. The Spawn figure (which is based on the original design of the character) includes a pair of hands and energy effects, while Todd himself includes two sets of hands, a microphone, and a sketchpad.
And, of course…the feet. Many Twitter users are skipping over the rest of the two-pack’s contents, focusing only on the presence of Todd’s grippers in the packaging.
Why does he come with bare feet?

OMG the feet

It’s an eclectic mix throughout the conversation. Many fans across Twitter and the Action Figures subreddit are confused by the presence of the feet, especially given how light on accessories like extra hands and alternate head portraits McFarlane figures have been in the past.
Still, others are enjoying the absurdity of a swappable foot accessory. And then there are those like Dan Yun, one of the chief faces of Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line, who think the addition is incredible.

The release is intended to celebrate 30 years of McFarlane Toys. The company got its start in 1994 after McFarlane and Mattel couldn’t come to an agreement over quality concerns regarding the line. It also marks only the second-ever figure of Todd McFarlane, the first being a limited edition “Todd the Bum” figure based on his cameo in 1997’s Spawn movie.
The two-pack, along with a slew of other 30th anniversary McFarlane Toys announcements, including Commando Spawn, are available for pre-order at McFarlane Toys Store & select retailers.
