Retro Toy Week: Spawn the Bloodaxe!

If you were to ask me, I would probably say I'm not a fan of McFarlane Toys. I don't care for sports figures, clamshells, mismatched boots, unarticulated statues...

And yet, when McFarlane is on, it is on, and Spawn the Bloodaxe here? Definitely on.

With furry-fur stuff! Real metal chain! And joints! Working, movable, useful joints! And a big-ass axe, but that all pales next to that sculpt. The Spawn-face logo is on both his knees, I counted three skulls on him, and actually, that ax has more and better detail than a lot of the figures you might buy today.

I don't remember buying Bloodaxe here: I used to work in a mall store, where I would've picked him up at some discount, but I couldn't say what he cost. I do know I have at least the Valkyrie from his wave as well; and both of them weren't super-articulated, but they weren't the big unmoveable plastic lumps that would later fall out of McFarlane. They used to make action figures, if not toys...


There appears to be a repaint version of Bloodaxe, but I have no idea which one I have. OAFE.net has a review of the 2002 exclusive con-version, so check it out. Bloodaxe is going back on the shelf, and I might find something else for him to do...

Well, Bloodaxe is a good one to go out on for Retro Toy Week! It might be a while before I try something like that again, since man, I left a mess of figures lying around. But it was fun to go back through some old stuff, and I found some things I can still have fun with, and some others I can pass on to my boys or my nephews. Hope you enjoyed this one, and have a good weekend!
