McFarlane Toys is a company started by Todd McFarlane that makes detailed models of characters from movies, comics, musicians, and sport figures. This exquisite attention to detail is the defining feature in a McFarlane Toy, though almost always at the expense of articulation, which has been a rather large complaint often made against the toy line with regards to the fact that often the toys produced by the company are unplayable and are more like statues than toys.

The line, which originally began with action figures based upon Todd McFarlane's "Spawn" comic series, has since grown to feature a large number of liscenced property lines including "Movie Maniacs" (which features numerous famous horror icons such as Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees , Michael Meyers , The Terminator, and Leatherface).
