Raven Hellspawn 2 (Spawn Reborn) by McFarlane Toys

 

rave spawn reborn 3

 

 

Raven Hellspawn stands approximately 6" tall and is a repaint of the original Raven Hellspawn from Spawn Series 25.  He does not have many points of articulation which is to be expected from McFarlane. The arms itself can move, but not much. There are a few other points of articulation but nothing that really makes this a playing figure.

 

Raven Hellspawn looks pretty cool, but is definitely not one of my favorite Spawn figures. His gauntlets on his forearms and the armor on his lower legs are noticeable and are a nice touch.

 

Now that I take another look at this figure, it could have been in the ranks of one of the best Spawn figures out there, if he only had a better pose. His hook looks awesome and I really like how the chain is tied around Raven Hellspawn’s waist, but I just cannot help but think of some of the amazing possibilities McFarlane could have used in positioning him.

 

I like Raven’s helmet and think it is a creative way to slightly modify the normal Spawn mask which lends a more medieval look. The neck of the cape, the plated armor all over his body, and the skull armor on the kneecaps make this figure into a winner if you like to collect that sort of stuff.

 

As would be expected from McFarlane, the paint application was done very well. Raven has sort of a worn out look to him and it just makes the figure look more believable to the times. The cape also looks very dirty which you would expect from a character of this sort. He benefited from the repaint.

 

Raven Hellspawn comes with a hook that has a long chain attached to it. It’s a welcome change from the typical sword. Even though I already mentioned that his pose isn’t the most impressive, that does not make him look any less menacing. If this dude told you he was going to rip out your intestines, it wouldn’t be a threat because he would actually do it.

If you already have the Raven Hellspawn that came out before the repaint, you might want to pass but if you have not picked him up yet, then you might want to give this figure some thought. I just feel that he could have been something much more than what we were given.
