"Having been in the Comic Book industry myself, for nearly 40 years, I'm constantly looking for new characters that seem to be gripping the readership within the comic genre. A few years back a new title called BRZRKR burst out in a huge way, adding yet another high-level character to the pantheon of 'must-read' stories. Publisher BOOM! Studios alongside Keanu Reeves have unleashed a force of nature with their new character, and I am sure comic fans of this book will be just as pumped to get their hands on action-figures of this title, as they are the comic."- Todd McFarlane, Founder and CEO McFarlane Toys

"McFarlane Toys is synonymous with pushing innovation and detail in the collectible toy space, and having Todd and his team bring B. to life as one of their iconic action figures was at the top of our wish list when we partnered with IMG. We're thrilled to have BRZRKR join McFarlane Toys line of incredible comic book-based action figures." - Filip Sablik, President, Publishing & Marketing
