McFarlane Toys in SPIN Magazine in 2001
McFarlane Toys has made hundreds of action figures over the last two decades, but it may be their line of music-inspired figures that I find most unusual. Still, despite my own disinterest in the majority of their musician action figures I can’t argue that the toys have their fans. Add to that the attention such toys gave the company — including in SPIN magazine — and it’s clear that those figures were the right move at the time.
My favorite part of this SPIN article has to be their description of McFarlane’s action figures:
” . . . which [are] more like art for maturity-challenged connoisseurs than toys for tots.”
