Medieval Spawn Statue Up For Pre-Order

Iron Studios have revealed plans for a high-quality statue featuring Todd McFarlane's Medieval Spawn, and made the 1/6th-scale statue available for pre-order on their website.

Medieval Spawn is one of the most popular Spawn variants -- and that is not a small group. The last collectible based on the character came from McFarlane Toys in 2015.

This one, from Iron Studios, appears to retail for around $500 USD, and can be pre-ordered here.

Sir John of York, as his name suggests, this was a Hellspawn of a medieval era. He was a knight who fought during a civil war in England and was released from service to Henry II after he and three others mistakenly killed the Archbishop of Canterbury, believing that they were acting on the king's behalf.

Sir John was then killed by the King's bodyguards as he approached King Henry for forgiveness while on the battleground.

He was returned to Earth several years after his death following his deal with Malbolgia. While seeking redemption for his sins, he was killed by Angela.

Although that last part probably won't make it into any future retellings.

Angela's rights currently reside with Marvel, the end result of a settlement that concluded a decade of fierce litigation between McFarlane and Angela and Medieval Spawn co-creator Neil Gaiman. One of the results of the case was that Medieval Spawn, once one of the most popular and profitable characters in the Spawn family, has been largely out of circulation since the late '90s.

The site lists the following features for the statue:

• Produced in cold resin and painted by hand;
• Limited edition and numbered in only 1,500 pieces in the world;
• Base diorama with the severed head of the Demon Violator;
• Extra alternative head without helmet (face hamburger);
• Extra hand with battle ax (regular with sword);
• Certificate of Authenticity signed by Todd McFarlane.
