Do You Have A Vintage Baseball Figure?
MLB Baseball Sports Picks were first announced back in Feb 2002 at the American International Toy Fair in New York. This announcement heralded a great personal triumph for Todd Mc Farlane as it gave him his fourth license in a top north American sport, after clinching contracts with the NFL, NBA and NHL.
It is a well known fact that Baseball has always been one of Todd McFarlane's true loves and that he has always been a big baseball collector which is why he was so keen to get the license to produce MLB-endorsed action figures. As a one time player and lifelong collector of baseball memorabilia it also gave him the opportunity to put his company's vast talents into figures that would be truly representative of the players and that fans and collectors would be proud of. McFarlanes figures are so detailed and authentic that it is like having your favorite star in your own home. Meticulouly sculpted and painted to bring you the best in baseball memorabilia. Each figure features the official team logos and colors as well as authentic apparel and equipment specific to the player. Mc Farlanes are world famous for the detail and accuracy of their figure and these are no exceptions. Many of the players have been captured in famous and historical moments that have made them famous and will bring back fond memories to many a fan. Each 6 inch figure comes in it's own McFarlanes classic MLB Sports Picks clamshell packaging along with a custom base for it's display. Watch out for the special one off Collectors releases as well as the main stream figures. Over the years these have become huge favorites with fans and collectors. because of their level of accuracy and detail of the paintwork and sculpting which is a testimonial to the talents of Mc Farlanes artists talents and abilities. There are five main "brands" of McFarlane MLB Action Figures within the Sports Picks range:
Base Series-The base series consists generally of six figures, altough occassionally a seventh figure has been added, from the current teams and season. Many new players or rookies have seen their McFarlane debut in one of these series.As well as the "base" figures each series will also include one or two chase figures which are harder to find and usually feature one of the base players in an alternate uniform. There are generally three releases during any given season to reflect any seasonal changes or trade offs.
Legends-The Legend brand highlights the careers of the games top players and Hall of Famers. Each McFarlane NFL Figures Legends series usually consists of four players from the games history although current players who are deemed as exemplary have also been featured.
Collectors Edition-The Collectors Edition figures are the "one offs" that are produced for the "All-Stars" game, Hall of Fame Induction weekend and event exclusives. These figures are generally not released through the mainstream distributors either through their online shop or at the event.
NFL Playmakers-These new action figures include the usual high level of detail associated with McFarlane Toys in a newly developed 4-inch scale figure with no fewer that 20 points of articulation allowing fans complete playability and enabling them to renact or even create countless sports action poses.
Cooperstown Collection-The Cooperstown Collection was introduced create figures of retired sports legends.However, while it seemed a fantastic idea at the time, the project had several setbacks from a licensing perspective but they persevered and finally released their first series of sports legends in 2004 giving it the title of the Cooperstown Collection.
