TODD McFARLANE LAUNCHES NEW POP CULTURE MEGASITE AUG. 1
CultureBoom.com Poised to be 'One-Stop-Shop' for Everything Entertainment
It's been obvious for years: Todd McFarlane has his finger on the pulse of pop culture. And we here at the McFarlane Companies are on a constant search for what makes things tick inside the collective psyche of all things entertainment. The natural next step in the evolution of the McFarlane Companies is here, and we're calling it CultureBoom.com.

Yabba-dabba-doo! Our Hanna-Barbera online feature is live, bringing you complete product and packaging photography, QTVR movies, and a special bonus - concept sketches by acclaimed Hanna-Barbera artist Scott Shaw!

SPAWN 30 ONLINE FEATURE
This Week: All-new Character Bios
Spawn 30 just may be the most unique Spawn line ever. The newest line of action figures takes the traditionally dark character of Spawn and his ruthless adversaries and completely transforms them - into the hero and villains of a hyperkinetic, high-energy action/adventure series in the tradition of your favorite Saturday morning cartoons!

DEION SANDERS CLUB EXCLUSIVES II
Ready For Kick-Off July 31
July 31st will bring a second visit from one of the all-time most popular Collector's Club Exclusives. We originally offered a pair of Deion Sanders figures last year, and the overwhelming demand took us a few days to sort through. Many collectors were unable to acquire the Falcons and Ravens versions of Deion Sanders, and we promised we'd work on a way to provide them another opportunity.

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON '06 WRAP UP
Enter to Win an All-Con Swag Bag!
Another year, another San Diego Comic-Con. The McFarlane Companies made their annual trek to San Diego last week, offering the opportunity for an overwhelming number of fans and curious passers-by to catch a glimpse at a number of our upcoming products and projects.

CANTON HALL OF FAME CONTEST
Win a Limited-edition Troy Aikman Action Figure!

Here is a link to the details. If you will not be able to make it to the event - which is an absolute crime if you are a Cowboys fan or Raiders fan - we will keep a couple of Aikman exclusives aside for you.
