The Heap (Spawn)

The Heap is one of those rare figures that is fascinating and yet totally disgusting in its putridness.

This figure has lots of accessories. Most of them are firmly imbedded in its body. There are shards of glass, a toilet seat, an old tire, a meat cleaver, various pipes

and springs, and a good selection of skeletal remains that all protrude hideously from his limbs and torso. The unattached accessories are a few bones and a skull. These can be fit neatly into the Heap’s cavernous mouth, then released in a barf-like action.

Colouring is perfect. The Heap is made from garbage and it looks like

he just emerged from a dump. The teeth are brown and rotted. The browns and greens used evoke perfect images of rotting things. The detail is excellent, especially the hands and face. The feet are big so

standing the Heap is no problem. There are ten points of articulation and they allow for a very good variety of menacing poses. No matter what poses the Heap is forced into he will not fall down. This alone makes it worth purchasing.

Playability is affected by the amount of sharp bits. You’re mom always told you not to run with scissors, I’m telling you not to run with this figure! Playing in the garden or a dirt pile is the way to get the most play value out of the Heap. And when you’re not playing with this figure it makes a pretty good desk display (especially if you work for a sanitation company).

Collectors please note that there is a variant second release that is easily spotted by the bright blue eyes. The first edition has white eyes.
