MCFARLANE NHL
 McFarlane Toys NHL Sports Picks Series 22 (2009 Wave 2) Action Figure Martin Brodeur (New Jersey Devils) $12.99 Scale:6 Inch Format: Action Figure Packaging: Clamshell Manufacturer: McFarlane Toys Release Date: In Stock! Describtion:  Todd Nhl Legends $5.25 This figure of the great Wayne Gretzky is a must-have for those who collect hockey memorabilia. The figurine is life-like, with Gretzky's expression looking just as it did whenever he scored a goal. What I love most about this toy is that you can purchase Gretzkys that wore different jerseys to represent the eras in hockey his playing career spanned. If you are like me and collect Gretzky memorabilia (pictures, cards, jerseys, etc), this is an artifact that will fit quite nicely in your collection.  Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby McFarlane 6 -Inch Action Figure NHL 2009 Series 21 $19.99 I have a number of hockey, football and 'other' figures from McFarlane (including the other two Sid figures) and I have to say that I didn't buy this one because it looks ridiculous! WHO SKATES LIKE THAT? No one does and the sculptors know it. I emailed the company after I ordered Jordan Stall and HIS pose was incredibly unrealistic, looked nothing like the one in the pictures that McFarlane provided (at least this one isn't misleading!), and the pegs didn't even fit into the holes on the base (I was told that if I put him in boiling water, I could bend the legs to make them fit better... WHAT?!). In the email, I was told that they are reusing parts from other figures to save money and (like my Jack Lambert's pants) sometimes using colored plastic and not painting that part! I have no problem with them reusing parts - that's a wise thing to do...but don't do it if it makes the figure look so bad! I hope the quality begins to improve on these things! |
