Photos of the Classic Film Poster in a New Collectible Format
In 1987, with the words, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me," a cult was born. Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop burst onto screens unlike anything before it. Blending science fiction, satire, graphic violence and high intensity; audiences went wild and made it a huge hit – one of the biggest films of the 1980s.

'HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS!' FIGURES ANNOUNCED

NHL ALL-STAR EVENT A BIG HIT
Modano Exclusive Sells Out in Dallas
McFarlane Toys arrived in Dallas this past Friday and staked their claim in the NorthPark Mall, setting up in preparation for the NHL All-Star Trading Card and Memorabilia Show. We started selling our Mike Modano exclusive figure on Saturday at 10 AM, and as usual, the line for our figure stretched out of sight. 2,600 of the 3,000 Modano figures were sold on Saturday. Hundreds of Spawn and Sports Picks fans went by the autograph pavilion and got to meet the boss himself – Todd had two scheduled signings at 3pm and 7pm, but he stayed the entire time. Todd signed toys, drew sketches, autographed comic books, and spent time with fans until the close of the show at 9pm.

NFL EXPERIENCE UPDATE

This is our fifth consecutive Super Bowl appearance, and as previous years, we'll be providing an exclusive Sports Picks figure for our Miami collectors.
