I thought it might be nice to take a look at an "older" figure from my collection. The Creech was released as part of The Adventures of Spawn line and features an animated look and design. I think the character was created by Greg Capullo when he was doing the pencilwork for Spawn. He features a miniature head (not articulated) and three whip-like tentacles substituted for hair. The figure has minimal articulation: swivels at the waist, boot tops, and slight swivels for the gauntlets/gloves. The tentacles are rubbery, with posing wires embedded inside. He's a bit top and back heavy, so the included Spawn-emblem stand is essential, though you can get him to stand without it, given a bit of patient fiddling. Creech stands about 6" tall.
The vibrant colors and unique sculpt design make this guy an interesting shelf piece. There's not much to be done with him outside of that. With Spawn looking like he's going to make a return to the figure market, I'm curious to see how McFarlane Toys decides to handle articulation with their new 7" properties. None of the prototype pictures shown so far seem to have any, and it will be interesting to see how the final designs turn out, and what fan reaction to them will be...
