McFarlane’s “Dragons” Advertising from 2005

McFarlane Toys has changed a lot over the last decade. It was only ten years ago that the McFarlane Dragons series (Amazon.com search*) was in the works, and as these two page spreads from Sam & Twitch show us McFarlane was heavily promoting the new dragon action figures.

The above “Endcap” spread discusses not only the dragons but also includes a letter from a fan asking about licensing. A fun read, and seeing these pages (including the two-page spread ad, below) makes me wonder if any of the McFarlane comics of this time ran these pages in color. You see, by this point Sam & Twitch was a black and white comic, so the only instances I have of these pages are the ones that you see here.

I do not own any of the McFarlane Dragons series (Amazon.com search*) toys, but according to this list at Cool Toy Review the series ran for seven waves and the review at mwctoys.com really does make these look like impressive works.
