Military accessory pack coming to Club
More weapons for your McFarlane's Military figures
Hot on the heels of our recently announced McFarlane's Military action figure line and the even more recently announced Toys "R" Us Military exclusive, we've got another surprise.

Even more 2005 toy catalog additions
Several more unannounced figures hitting shelves this year
On April 22 we announced a number of additions and changes to our illustrious and incredibly useful spawn.com online toy catalog, but guess what? It doesn't stop there, as today we have a handful of new information to share with the world. Some of this info is simply added details to already announced lines and/or figures, but there are some unannounced additions to our Fall product lineup, too.

MLB Series 13 photos now available
Special extended baseball line will be limited in production
Most baseball fans watch the off-season with a curious and interested eye. It's always exciting and sometimes painful to see teams wheel and deal, sending superstars from one city to another. There's nothing like seeing a big name player put on your team's uniform for the very first time. While the winter "swap meet" is exciting for most fans, it was frequently a frustration for our biggest seamhead, Todd McFarlane.

Spawn animation project moving forward
The newest details on the upcoming Spawn animation
Breathing life into Spawn through animation has been one of the highlights on Todd McFarlane's resume. For three seasons on HBO, Todd McFarlane Productions brought award-winning animation to the small screen. Winning two Emmy's for Outstanding Animated Program, as well as a Golden Reel Award for achievement in sound editing, were huge accomplishments.
