You get: Trapped in an dragon costume…Beat up…Dumped in the ‘hood…Hounded by weirdos…Hunted by killas… And that’s just the beginning of Puffed, a tale of suspense, drama, desperation, murder, mistaken identity, sexual longing, loss, revenge, regret, impotence—even incontinence."

Spawn Mutations Series #23: Spawn - Action Figure One pivotal event in the Spawn mythos is Spawn's slaying of his master, Malebolgia. But what if this event had gone differently? What if Malebolgia did not die? This premise is the inspiration for Spawn Series 23: Mutations, which reveals a twisted vision of the Spawn world that could have been. In order to fight the still-living Malebolgia, Spawn must delve deep into his dark side. Calling forth the primal power to change his form -- the same power that allowed Clown to transform into Violator -- Spawn now mutates into a demonic alter ego of his own. To fight the beast, Spawn must become a beast. This Action Figure features the truly stunning detail you've come to expect from McFarlane Toys. This fully poseable Spawn figure measures approximately 7 inches tall.
