Initially released in 1983, Douglas McKeown's The Deadly Spawn has never had an officially licensed toy... until now. Justin Ishmael has teamed up with producer Ted Bohus to enlist the talents of artist James Groman (Madballs) to sculpt a screen accurate recreation of the toothy creature from The Deadly Spawn, and a Kickstarter campaign is now underway to fund the figure, which is accompanied by a seven-inch Larvae toy:
