Version: Spawn 3v3
Title on Card: Burnt Spawn
Series: Retail Exclusive
Type: Repaint in Display Case
Date: January 1998
Identification: Unmasked Spawn 3, Vinyl Cape and Wolf companion
There is no "real" repaint for Spawn III of Series 7 and instead in its place, we have an exclusive (KB Toys in the US) based on Spawn III. Unlike the original Spawn III, this exclusive is without mask and is adorned with a fixed vinyl cape instead of an extendable fabric cape. This figure is commonly and erroneously assumed to be part of the Movie Series. There are two reasons why this mistake was commonly made: firstly, its name coincide with that of another Burnt Spawn from the Movie Series and secondly, the proximity of its release to that of the Movie series.
