The Spawn thread

[K.bowen]

I was very happy to see this thread pop up. Spawn has been my favorite character since I was a teenager. I've been waiting for Spawn to make a resurgence with a new movie, but it's good to see fellow fans still out there. I collected a couple hundred Spawn and misc. McFarlane figures over the years. Sadly I've sold many because I primarily collect and build 1/6 figures now, but I've kept about a dozen of my favorite Spawn figures from around series 17 to 22.

Here's a pic of my three 1/6 Spawn figures.

That custom movie spawn is bada$$

Love this thread! I've been trying to track down the Spawn hockey jersey that McFarlane offered back in the heyday.

I love my Medicom 1/6 Spawn but would love to see Hot Toys make one some day. Hopefully Angela makes it into the MCU and we get a figure of her.

View attachment 282931View attachment 282932here's my attempt at a custom first time sewing any advice on getting it better looking ?

What did you use for the Cape?
the only thing I see that could be better is making the spikes thicker. everything looks great, how did you get the skulls?
how did you do the face?

I got one if those spawn III deluxe figures a few days ago and most of it had water damage which I was fine with but most of the malebolgia symbol had come off and everything was pretty plain looking,I pulled him apart to remove the batteries which had exploded so I removed all the inner parts to light up the eyes. Then I sculpted some actual eyes over the holes and repainted all the white parts. After that I gave all the red a dark brown wash and all of the suit a dark blue/grey wash. And I also replaced the terrible plastic chains with real ones. Took some crappy phone pics ,what do you guys think?View attachment 283813View attachment 283814

Thank you ! That Spiderman body looks perfect. The head is from a sculptor on here, I cant remember his name though...seb something or f-seb. I sculpted the skulls myself. You're right about the spikes the aren't thick enough I might try to find some strong sculptey to make thicker ones. The cape is made from a black work shirt that had quite a few coats of paint and lots of wire so I could move it around

marvel icons...gawd those were gateway drugs to 1:6 scale.
i think you're better off with a beefier body, and fitting hands...VENOM.

Venom would be good if his back and traps weren't so big

another option would be toybiz's rotocast venom.
this custom looks nice, used marvel 12" wonder which body he used.

I dont know if you can tell from my pic but I switch the bend fingers in the left hand for regular fingers (From another figure)

this is the only body I have to work with so Ill see if can work as Spawn. he looks skinny but maybe I do what K.Bowen did and make him a suit

Nothing wrong with that. Not all illustrators have spawn as bulky. Quite a few have drawn him quite lean. Although the big torso capullo does on his spawn is definitely my fav version

i have 3, 12 inch spawn figures and some 7 inch but i just wanted one with a lot of joints and i figured that spiderman could work since it has a lot of joints

how did u hang that spawn from the roof?

 

[Karnis]

Plant hanger in the ceiling, fishing line wrapped around the posts that hold the cape on.

 

[crows]

did u glue the cape to the body?

 

[Karnis]

did u glue the cape to the body?

Yes, as I remember there are two posts that attach to the body. I pulled the collar & cape off, applied super glue in the posts & in the holes, reeled off a lot of fishing line and got it in position, put the cape & collar back on, let it dry & hung it. Google "fishing line knot" for some real fun.

That curse of spawn statue is awesome
