I know a lot of folks are disappointed about McFarlane in general in 2008. But what are the positive things you can think of this past year
Here's my list.
1. SPAWN: THE BOOK OF THE DEAD
2. Todd making an effort to interact with us and make some changes to his toy lines.
3. The announcement of his Collector's Club Resin statues.
4. I'm assuming all the new Halo stuff for you fanatics out there.
5. Target Stores getting back into the game with McFarlane figures.
6. I thought this was a cool story. http://www.spawn.com/news/news3.aspx?id=13438
7. Getting to meet some of the McFarlane staff at Comic-Con, sadly no Todd though. ;)
8. Todd returning to the Spawn comic.
9. This really cracked me up. http://www.spawn.com/news/news2.aspx?id=13341
10. This was a good story also. http://www.spawn.com/news/news2.aspx?id=13321
Hopefully 2009 will be a better year. http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/6387/smiliehoorayqw8.gif

Releasing Pewter Raven Spawn, and doing so in a manner that it was just a few dollars more than the BOTD. They effectively gave it away to us fans!

Honestly, Halo - the entire thing - was a huge positive for me for 2008. I know there are some who don't agree, but for a longtime fan of both Halo and McFarlane toys, it was a match made in heaven. I have never before bought so many action figures in a single year from any company ever.

Not really that jazzed, Spawn.com is pretty cool I guess.

Agreed, +1 and all that. I think it's too bad that some people on this board really hate this line... cause I'm pretty sure they're helping to save McF.

Uber-agreed, particularly on the last point.

I've not been pleased with Mcfarlane at all this year. I have nothing positive to say about anything the company is doing now.

None for me, thanks. Here's hoping 2009 will offer something worth my interest and cash.

I guess I did return to the board after being absent for a couple of months, but other than that... I rarely check updates or whatever, I live in the Netherlands so store-specific stuff isn't gonna affect me in any way, and I haven't bought a single McF figure. So, nothing I guess. Let's hope 2009 will be better.

Oh, and the Resin statues, I guess. Kinda wish the just made more figures instead, but whatever. Book of the Dead is still something I need to go get eventually....
And this board is always a positive. :)

Yep. And counting him being gone as a positive doesn't really count when he also showed up here in the first place. He did have a sweet tattoo, though.
