Two new McFarlane Spawn sets are heading to Gamestop in the US as exclusives. The Gunslinger Spawn figure will be re-released and now upgraded to a deluxe set which will also include his horse. Weapons include a mini-gun, twin revolvers, and a rifle.
The second release is also a deluxe set in the shape of The Clown. He is identical to the first general release but now comes with a 'bloodied' paint job.
Both sets are due for a late May 2022 release at Gamestop. The releases outside of the US will be down to McFarlane and their overseas stockists. It is likely this will be offered by Bandai as the UK distributor.
Jeremy Winslow, a landowner in the town of Bane was pursued by the wealthy businessman of the town Ed Kemper, who wished to take Jeremy’s land. After not being able to get the land by traditional means, Ed Kemper slaughtered Jeremy’s family and framed Jeremy for their murders. Jeremy was hanged for the crime without a trial, but Mammon, demon of wealth and greed and one of the seven princes of hell, came to him when he was close to death and promised him the power to enact his revenge on Ed Kemper. Jeremy agreed and was transformed into a Hellspawn and killed everyone in town except for one individual asked by Mammon to spare. This individual would be the ancestor of Al Simmons. When Jeremy’s job was complete he descended to hell.
The Clown, a short, obsese, ugly clown with rotting teeth and a blue mark in the shape of an M on his face, is the alter ego of The Violator. Dubbed his secret identity and human disguise, he uses this ruse to walk among the humans to avoid detection. Though Violator has shapeshifting powers to be able to turn into anything he would wish, Violator has such distaste for humans, he shifts into this putrid form to mock them because he sees them as disgusting, pathetic, and weak.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
