Grammy- and Emmy-winning Producer/Director Todd McFarlane, best known as the creator of Spawn, is the creative force behind McFarlane Toys. The international award-winning company is one of America’s top action figure manufacturers.

McFarlane is also well-known in the sports collectibles world as the owner of several historically significant home run baseballs including Mark McGwire’s #70 and Barry Bonds #73. McFarlane has reshaped the sports collectibles market with the introduction of McFarlane’s Sports Picks NHL, NFL, NBA and MLB action figure lines. With McFarlane’s details, accuracy and a reputation for delivering picture-perfect facial likenesses, McFarlane’s Sports Picks has been a sellout success with every series and can be found at most major retailers for about $10.

In addition to sports, the company produces action figures of pop culture and cult horror icons from movies, music, comic books and video games. Marquee lines include 20th Century Fox Studio's summer blockbuster film Alien vs. Predator, Warner Bros. Academy Award-winning The Matrix trilogy, Elvis, KISS, Motley Crue, Beatles’Yellow Submarine, Conan and McFarlane’s signature creation, Spawn. For more information, visit www.mcfarlane.com.
