Rare Toys

This is an incomplete list of rare or hard-to-find figure variants from many different McFarlane toy lines and series. While McFarlane is known for producing many variations on their figures, particularly when re-releasing them, the rare variants are initially shipped along with the more common variant and are considered more valuable by collectors because of their relatively low quantity in relation to the common variant as well as the other figures in the series. Collectors should always check a legitimate industry trade magazine (such as Toyfare) for prices and actual notes on the style and identification of rare variants before making a purchase.

Spawn, Conan, McFarlane Monsters

* Belit (Conan: Series 1) She wears a Viking-style outfit with a twisted metal belt, which either has a black line painted in-between the links or simply shows her skin. In contrast to the Tiffany figure from the Spawn 26 line and the Dorothy figure from The Twisted Land of Oz, the rare variant of this figure is the one that shows less skin (i.e. the one with the black painted-in belt).

* Dorothy (Twisted Land of Oz): Rare variant has her full body visible, showing her breasts bound with a leather strap. Common variant comes with a black piece of cloth over her upper torso, effectively censoring the toy for mass distribution.

* Elizabeth Bathory (McFarlane Monsters Series 3): The “blood queen” figure is bathing naked in a pool of blood and has a rare variant where her right breast is partially exposed above the blood, showing a nipple, whereas the common variant has both breasts covered.

* The Ogre (Spawn 11): Variant has a giant mace in the right hand while common has no weapon

* Tiffany (Spawn 26): The versions of the angel Tiffany from this series differ by the style of underwear that the character is wearing, which is visible by looking at the toy’s backside. The more common variant is wearing bikini-style underwear that shows less skin, while the rare variant bears a thong that is more revealing.

* Lotus Angel II (Spawn 28): Variant has no covering over the upper portion of her chest. Common variant has a red and green covering with a small skull on it around her neck that obscures her bust.

* Zombie Spawn II (Spawn 28): Variant has three skulls chained together and attached to right arm, while common has no chain of skulls.

* Grave Digger (Spawn Regenerated): The figure’s base has two arms coming out of the grave, whereas the common variant base is just a pile of dirt
