When it comes to
Marvel,
Todd McFarlane is probably best known for his work on the
Spider-Man comics. In the 90's he played a large role in revitalizing the character and even launched a new title for the character that he did both the writing and art for.
Spider-Man however wasn't the only Marvel title he worked on or the only Marvel character he drew.
Incredible Hulk was actually the first title for Marvel he began doing a regular stint on from 1987 to 1988, working with writer legendary writer
Peter David.
Over the years McFarlane showed us his version of many Marvel based characters including the
X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and of course
Venom that he helped create.
Since those early days,
McFarlane has gone on to do a lot in the industry including being a founding member of Image Comics as well as launching his own Toy Company called
McFarlane Toys. In the past year McFarlane even secured the rights from Warner Bros. to produce
DC Comic based action figures, another comic book company he did art for back in the 80's and 90's.
Just today
McFarlane posted on his Instagram this image featuring art he did of
Wolverine. With the art he posted the following:
Would make a cool action-figure. McFarlane Toys does McFarlane. We can wish.
Now Todd can wish all he wants. but I don't think there is much chance
McFarlane Toys could take the Marvel toy license from
Hasbro. However,
WHAT IF Hasbro did a sub-line of
Artist Inspired Marvel Legends figures specifically based on McFarlane's art? Perhaps they could even bring Todd himself, independent from his company as a consultant for the sub-line?
Let us know what you think in the
COMMENTS SECTION. Would you like
Hasbro do comic book artist inspired Marvel Legends figures, and besides McFarlane, which artists and their work would you like to see turned into action figures?
