Elvis, Robocop and Spawn news and... photography?
We're going to play cowboy here at spawn.com and wrangle a bunch of our upcoming 12-inch action figure news into one super-size roundup. We've got new information, new photography and some switched schedules. Let's dig in.

NHL Legends Series 3 lineup change
