2008 NFL Collector Edition Figures to be Repainted and Modified Versions of Popular Regular Series Figures


Source: McFarlane Toys — Posted 2/17/2008
McFarlane has offered some sneak peeks at the upcoming NFL Collector Edition figures of Brett Favre and LaDainian Tomlinson.

A sample of the Favre figure was displayed at the 2008 Toy Fair tradeshow. The figure shows Favre standing on the sidelines in a white jersey and yellow stocking cap. Favre is holding a football and standing in front of a bench. This is a repainted and slightly modified version of the Favre figure from NFL Series 12.

McFarlane also released some cropped photos that suggest the LaDainian Tomlinson will be very similar to the LT from NFL 16. The CE Tomlinson looks to have him in the powder blue uniform; rather than a Gatorade cup in his hands, it appears he will be holding a towel.


McFarlane's CE figures are expected in stores in August, 2008.

Koto Reveals Star Wars Celebration 2015 Exclusive R3-A2 and K-3PO ARTFX+ Statues...

The famous duo of C-3PO and R2-D2 weren’t the only Droids that found their skills put to use during the Rebellion’s struggle against the Galactic Empire. Among the other often unsung heroes include R3-A2 and K-3PO.

R3-A2 served alongside other Astromech Droids, serving the Rebel pilots as a navigator on their fighters and helping to keep their ships in top shape when not in flight, while K-3PO’s vast database and knowledge of military tactics served him in good stead as the coordinator of all droids at Alliance High Command up until his unfortunate destruction at Echo Base during the Battle of Hoth.

R3-A2 stands nearly 4 inches tall in 1/10th scale, includes alternate pieces allowing for display standing upright on two legs or inclined on all three, and comes with a special collector’s coin featuring the logo of Industrial Automation, the manufacturers of Astromech Droids. K-3PO stands over six inches tall, his white metal casing showing damage from a previous engagement. Both Droids feature magnets in their feet for extra stability on the included base, and assemble in seconds with the ARTFX+ line’s easy, snap-fit assembly.

This limited edition set will be available exclusively for purchase during Star Wars Celebration 2015 at Kotobukiya booth #1324 and through an exclusive pre-order opportunity for non-attendees on kotous.com beginning in April.

McFarlane Releases 2009 NHL Wave 1 Sports Picks Photos

McFarlane Toys has released photos of their NHL 2009, Wave 1 Sports Picks lineup. This series features the Sports Picks debuts for a pair of young stars, new sculpts for a quartet of elite players, and brand new uniforms for a pair of talented veterans.

ALEX TANGUAY - Montreal sent a first, second, and fifth-round pick to Calgary in exchange for Tanguay this off-season, but Alex didn't wait long to pay dividends. With seven goals and 15 points in his first 13 games, Tanguay is helping lead the Canadiens towards the playoff in their Centennial season.

ROBERTO LUONGO 3 - Vancouver honored their standout goalie this off-season, by making him their team captain. Goaltenders are prohibited from wearing the captain's "C" on their jerseys, so Luongo put it on his mask (check out the chin). With five shutouts in his first 15 games, Captain Luongo is at the top of his game.

SIDNEY CROSBY 3 - 71,127 hockey fans braved the cold and a few snow flurries at the 2008 NHL Winter Classic - the first NHL game ever played outdoors in the United States. Buffalo and Pittsburgh remained deadlocked at one as overtime expired - setting the stage for a heart-stopping shootout in front of a massive international television audience. With the game on the line, Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby squeezed a shot past Buffalo's Ryan Miller, earning a 2-1 shootout victory in one of the most memorable games in recent NHL history.

SHELDON SOURAY - Souray's first season in Edmonton was dulled by a serious shoulder injury. The talented defenseman has returned this season with a vengeance - scoring five goals with seven assists in his first 14 games to already eclipse last season's totals. The Oilers franchise is celebrating their 30th anniversary this season, and commemorating the event with throwback jerseys from the days of Gretzky, Fuhr and Messier.

CAREY PRICE - Pressure? Try playing goal for the NHL's most storied franchise as a 20-year-old rookie! Price shined during his rookie campaign, turning in a 24-12-3 record while helping Montreal to the playoffs. For an encore, the goalie phenom is back - delivering seven wins in his first 10 starts as Montreal eyes a Stanley Cup run in their 100th season.

PAUL STASTNY - With 78 and 71 points in his first two seasons, Colorado's Paul Stastny has established himself as one of the premier young stars of the NHL. Nearly 150 points scored in your first two NHL seasons would satisfy most players, but Paul's got big skates to fill: his father Peter tallied 248 points in his first two seasons with Quebec.

MATS SUNDIN 3 - With 1,321 points Mats Sundin ranks 30th all-time among NHL players. His dynamic style dazzled fans, teammates and opponents for 17 seasons. After his contract with Toronto expired this summer, Sundin returned to his native Sweden. He hasn't announced plans for a return or for retirement, so fans worldwide are keeping their ears open about developments regarding one of the game's all-time best players.

JASON SPEZZA 2 - Spezza has established himself as one of the NHL's most consistent players, and delivered career bests with 34 goals and 92 points last season. Still, the Senators' playoff run was shorter than they expected, leaving Spezza and Co. focused on a return to the Stanley Cup Finals this year.

NHL 2009, Wave 1, is scheduled to hit shelves in March 2009.

McFarlane Releases Photos of NHL Series 20

New Lineups Feature Sports Picks Debut for a Three Players, Sequels to Three Players, and a Re-paint of an Emerging Canadian Star

Source: McFarlane Toys — Posted 7/25/2008



McFarlane has released photos of their upcoming NHL Series 20 Sports Picks. It features the Sports Picks debut for a trio of players, sequels to three players, and a re-paint of an emerging Canadian superstar. Each figure will be offered in the NHL's new RBK EDGE uniform, showcasing a new look for a classic game.

The NHL 20 lineup includes:

DANIEL BRIÈRE: Brière made noise as a Phoenix Coyote, but he truly arrived in his final season in Buffalo, racking up 95 points as the Sabres rolled to the Eastern Conference Finals. Free agency landed him in Philadelphia, where he spearheads the re-vamped Flyers offense.

JAROME IGINLA 3: He started his hockey career as a goalie, and as a catcher for Canada's National Junior Baseball team, but Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla's destiny was to score goals - 374 and counting, to be exact. Despite his gaudy statistics, Iginla is no genteel winger; he's just as likely to defend a teammate by any means necessary. Calgary's dynamo was named captain in October 2003, and continues to be the fuel that feeds the Flames.

JONATHAN CHEECHOO: Sure, his name doesn't give you any clue, and he plays his hockey in California. But with a hometown like "Moose Factory," you can be sure that Cheechoo is as Canadian as it gets. The Sharks' top gun has delivered 153 goals in his first five seasons, and remains one of the main reasons San Jose is the team no one wants to face in the Western Conference.

NICKLAS LIDSTROM 2: The James Norris Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the NHL's top "defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position." The Red Wings captain is the defending Norris trophy owner, having won his sixth trophy in 2008 to tie Doug Harvey for the second-most career Norris Trophies (Bobby Orr has eight). Lidstrom became the first European-born player to captain a team to a Stanley Cup championship.
VESA TOSKALA: Toskala spent four seasons sharing net time in San Jose before a trade to Toronto gave him the full-time starting goalie job he'd been waiting for. Toskala showed his mettle in Toronto over an 11-start stretch in late 2007, earning a pair of shutouts and a 7-3-0-1 record, allowing 18 goals while stopping 266 shots.

DANIEL SEDIN 2: The easiest way to tell the Sedin twins apart is right after the goal scores. Odds are, Daniel scored the goal, and Henrik delivered the assist. Daniel is the more prolific scorer of the two, but Henrik is the better playmaker - giving Vancouver a legitimate opportunity to score every time the "Sedin line" takes the ice.

DION PHANEUF: He's not the first "hitman" to come from Calgary, but Phaneuf has perfected his blue line defense with speed, strength, and a shoulder made of granite. The Flames' young defenseman is the proverbial immovable object, just looking to meet a resistible force at high speed.

NHL 20 is scheduled to arrive on shelves in December 2008.
