Media Release -- It's that time again…The 2012 Phoenix Comicon is ready for the invasion of fans this May 25-27 at the Phoenix Convention Center and so is the McFarlane Companies. At this year's event, fans can celebrate comics and pop culture with comic greats like Whilce Portacio, David Finch, and George Perez. You can also rub elbow with The Walking Dead's Jon Bernthal, the original TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno, and Star Trek captains William Shatner and Patrick Stewart, along with the rest of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast.
But clearly the highlight of any fan's experience is visiting the McFarlane Companies booth (Booth numbers 601, 603, 700, and 702). This year's booth will again showcase some of the brand new McFarlane Toys products hitting stores this year and, of course, provide a photo op where fans can snap a shot with Spawn and Clown!
As a special addition, the booth will also include a McFarlane Store, where you can pick up all the coolest McFarlane products from brands such as Spawn, Haunt, Halo, and The Walking Dead, along with other iconic brands like Star Wars, Star Trek, Spider-Man, and more!
Whether you are looking for Spawn posters, jiggling Dashboard Zombies, Star Wars ice cube trays, or even The Walking Dead calendars, the McFarlane booth has it all. And if you can't make it to the Phoenix Comicon this year, you can still find all these awesome products and more at the McFarlane toy store, located within the Westgate City Center in Glendale, AZ.
To add the cherry on top, the McFarlane Companies also will be selling a limited-edition black and white Spawn #219 cover, drawn by McFarlane himself. Retailing at $5, quantities are limited to only 500 copies of this rare cover and it's only available for purchase at the Phoenix Comicon!
And just to make sure the McFarlane presence is truly felt, Todd McFarlane created the Phoenix Comicon program cover, celebrating the 20th anniversaries of both McFarlane's Spawn and Brian Pulido's Lady Death. Keep an eye out next week for the unveiling of this year's Phoenix Comicon program cover on www.phoenixcomicon.com.
