Classic Comic Covers Spawn

PhotobucketI just got this Spawn a few days ago at Heroes and Dragons, an AWESOME comic book store in Columbia, SC. They have a lot more Spawns that I want, but I have to wait until I have the funding. Heroes and Dragons has the best selection of action figures I've seen in a comic book store, but sadly they don't have that many anime figures. They have a big selection devoted to McFarlane Toys, with a shitton of Spawns. Whenever I go, I just stand in front of that section lusting over everything for a while.
This series of Spawn is based on comic book covers, and this particular figure was based on the cover of Hellspawn #1. The figure is 7" tall, and it actually does pose a little bit, with 7 points of articulation. No extra parts, but the gun and cape can go on or off. My least favorite part of this figure is the cape. Photobucket It came in three pieces and had to be put together, and you can see the seams, which for me ruins the effect. Apart from that, this is a dead sexy figure. The painting is AMAZING, it looks so good, my pictures sure don't do it justice. Now, if I only had a place to display my Spawns properly, we'd be in good shape.

Next on my list of figures to buy is a Venom, but I have not been able to find a decent looking one ANYWHERE! And I don't want to buy one online unless I really really have to. They have some shitty ones at Wal-Mart but they're so ugly I wouldn't be able to stand looking at him. They have one that is pretty decent at FYE, the only thing I'm not crazy about is that it's the Spiderman 3 outfit, not the original outfit. I'll probably end up getting him anyway the next time I go, but knowing the way things work out for me, I'll never be able to find it again. I should learn my lesson and do more impulse buying so I won't have to go crazy looking for a figure a month later!

I'm always in support of impulse buys. <3

You're reminding me... I haven't bought a new pony in ages. I think I need to remedy that, since I carted all of mine to my new apt in Atlanta last week... now my shelf looks lonely and sad.
