Movie Maniacs: Series 5
Series 5 of Todd McFarlane’s Movie Maniac series debuted in 2002. Much of the previous lines had a lot of classic movie/horror icons this line however started to lean in a different direction. Although the same types of genres were still used to fill the line up something felt a bit different this time around. I remember specifically when these came out I felt a little let down. Don’t get me wrong the quality that we were all used to was still there but the picks for this lineup didn’t feel as strong as the others. The only one that I remember grabbing up was The Lord of Darkness from the film Legend. Great sculpt.
- Lord of Darkness (Legend)
- Djinn (Wishmaster)
- Jason X (Jason X)
- Sarah Connor (Terminator 2: Judgment Day)
- T-800 Endoskeleton (Terminator)
- Tooth Fairy (Darkness Falls)
Movie Maniacs: Series 4
In 2001, the fourth series in Todd McFarlane’s highly succesful movie themed action figure line made its debut. By this time the line had reached its standard and was producing great, quality figures. The sculpt and detail on these were no different.
Movie Maniacs: Series 3
Today we’re going to take a look at Series 3 of McFarlane Toys Movie Maniacs line. This line had characters from my two favorite movies: The Thing and Army of Darkness. The sculpt of each figure got even better in this bunch. You can see it more in The Thing figures with the detail being greater and more intricate. The human figures of the line actually look like the actors that portray those roles. A lot of time you get movie figures that look somewhat like the actor or not at all. As far as articulation goes there really isn’t much but that’s absolutely fine as they are really meant to be for show and stay posed in their movie stance. Here’s the list of figures in this bunch:
- Ash (Army of Darkness)
- The Thing: Blair Monster (The Thing)
- The Thing: Norris Creature & Spider (The Thing)
- Edward Scissorhands (Edward Scissorhands)
- Brundlefly (The Fly)
- John Shaft (Shaft)
- Snake Plissken (Escape from L.A.)
