Featuring Brett in his offbeat, relaxed pose from released in NFL Series 12 and Brett's third McFarlane sculpt in a re-paint with his Packer's road white uniform.

This sculpt is a classic pose and has become a fans favorite featuring Brett, bench behind him, on a cold snowy December day in Chicago waiting patiently for his summons from the sidelines.
