“The Spawn 28 deluxe box features Spawn VS Urizen in a recreation of their classic battle to the death as originally told in the Spawn comic book, issues #98 to #99.”

Sounds interesting enough…right?

If you’re like me you probably didn’t pick this up in 05’ as a spawn.com members-only collectible. No, most of us either purchased series 28 as a full set on Ebay/Amazon or individually hunted these fuckers down on E-bay or Amazon. Like me, y’all were probably suckered into this figure from the meticulous painting and detail from the prototype pictures. I too was a little disappointed with what I ended up with, but overall was happy with the purchase.

It’s rare that the main character acts as an accessory in this set! Refreshing is some way…for being only 2 inches (my penis size) it’s detailed very nicely. Spawn is featured in his traditional look: black and crimson with black shades topped off with spikes and chains off both arms and legs. His legs and chest have striations, showing muscles and a solid core. How many 2 inch figures have this much detail?

Urizen stands 8 inches giving him a massive look compared to his lil’ buddy Spawn. Though not very detailed, he does come equipped with articulation making him more poser friendly. With a little air-brush work you could really make this figure pop-off like the prototype pictures show, but again you’d have to do-it-yourself and that would require opening your box – No!!! Urizen comes with a scythe-like weapon that looks fuckin’ sweet and his chest is being blasted by necroplasm…not so fuckin’ sweet. Sorry Spawn fans.

I have not read the comics for this figure, but they seem to be doing battle in front of “Rocky’s Roadside Diner” Authentic to the story perhaps? Nerds/readers fill us in on that below please.

In closing if I ever was to open one figure’s box it would be this bad-ass bitch for sure! Great battle scene, interesting characters, and the exclusiveness makes this worth your bargain hunting/art project.
