N.Y. JETS BRETT FAVRE JOINS NFL 2008, WAVE 3 ACTION FIGURE LINEUP
Collectible Quarterback Figure Arrives in Stores Late December

McFarlane Toys is proud to announce the addition of a Brett Favre New York Jets figure to our upcoming NFL 2008, Wave 3 lineup.

Shockwaves rippled throughout the NFL this summer when Green Bay traded their legendary quarterback to New York. It's a new start for one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, but the move itself isn't as unprecedented as you might think. We've had 42 Super Bowls in NFL history, and 27 different quarterbacks have led their teams to Super Bowl wins. Of those 27 quarterbacks, 11 have finished their careers playing for a different team. Favre joins Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas, Ken Stabler, Joe Montana, Jim McMahon, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypien, Kurt Warner, Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson as a Super Bowl winning quarterback who changed addresses while looking for another title.

This week, famed artist Greg Capullo's version of Spawn #185's cover was released on Newsarama.com, providing an exclusive peek at the issue, reaching comic book stores in October. Spawn #185 will ship with three variant covers by Capullo, Whilce Portacio and Todd McFarlane; McFarlane inked all three versions.

The 185th issue marks a new direction for Spawn, which sees McFarlane returning to writing the title, with fellow Image founder Whilce Portacio illustrating.
