IGN Fan Fest segment today with Brian Walters (Director of Brand Creative, McFarlane Toys)
Where all the fans gather in a tornado of fluttering wishlists and risque cosplay to catch a glimpse of what's to come!
IGN Fan Fest 2025 will have Brian Walters as a guest today to talk about the creative endeavor of branding things creatively for brands who need creative branding. Or whatever.
Is this the dude responsible for the tiny heads and long legs, or does he handle stuff like packaging? Or maybe brand relations? I don't know, but we're gonna find out today sometime after the day's events kick off at 10AM PST!
BE THERE!
...I should probably tell you where there is though!
On this page you'll find links to where you can watch from the comfort of your cubicle or tentacle pod or cyber womb? Scroll down, they're in there.

[UPDATE]
These were revealed on the stream, the figures were very early prototypes. Thanks to Ube for the last picture I missed.
- Ninja Turtles Page Punchers (5-Inch)
- Mortal Kombat Klassics (7-Inch)
- Spawn Resin Statue (Limited Edition)
Also it was interesting to hear Walters mention they wanted uniformity/accuracy for the Turtles, like someone really made that clear at a meeting or something lol. The figure is articulated.
He also mentioned how McFarlane doesn't release the same thing twice without some kind of alteration, so, that's confirmed I guess.
The MK figures will have singles as well as 2-packs with lots of accessories. They said they wanted to make up to 12 MK figures a year (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Nothing was said about the DC license.
I sat through a lot of stupid commercials for this info, you're welcome lol
