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 1
Usually with certain genre movies such as horror or action there are action figure lines that get manufactured to coninside with the release of the film. Comic book artist/creator Todd McFarlane took it one step further when he decided to create an action figure line based on some of the most famous cult favorite movie villans and heroes. The appealing thing about these figures was the detail and intricacy of the sculpt. We’ll take a look at the complete series starting today with series 1
