![]() ![]() Wild stuff, right? Let's take a look at Medieval Spawn after the break. The way Spawn could be reinterpreted as both different variants and different characters really has contributed to the longevity of the Spawn toyline and it's honestly in large part thanks to Neil Gaiman's writing of Spawn #9. Mandarin Spawn, Raven Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, Ninja Spawn all different guys. The Spawn line is famous for having multiple different versions of Spawn and while some of them are just cool looking variants of Al Simmons, other are completely unique characters. He's Sir John of York, a knight from the 16th century. He's a pretty significant figure as he's the first Spawn variant, but he's not Al Simmons as Spawn. I recently found Medieval Spawn at Toy Federation in Greer, SC and decided to add him to the collection. ![]() I never owned Medieval Spawn as a kid but I did buy him for a friend who wanted Spawn figures for his birthday party (I also bought him Tremor) so I got to mess around with him at the party. This figure isn't new, however, and is part of the original first series of figures from 1994. I recently grabbed a few newer Spawn trades and preordered the other upcoming titles, so I'm going to be catching up a bit. Instead, Sir John of York is still running around in the Spawn Universe. ![]() ![]() Remember Angela and Cogliostro, the controversial Spawn characters created by both Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane that were subject to a long running legal dispute? Well, Medieval Spawn is the third character in that group though he didn't get sold to Marvel. ![]()
