Vincent Jackson - Tampa Bay Buccaneers throwback jersey custom McFarlane figure

You just have to love these uniforms (even though you hated them originally).

Deion Sanders - San Francisco 49ers custom McFarlane figure

Basic repaint of the original Sander's mold. A few added details like resculpting to the shoes to accommodate the longer tongue and strap across the top. I also eliminated the shorter socks and went with the longer layered-look that Deion often wore.

NFL Legends: Steve Van Buren, Sammy Baugh & Arnie Weinmeister custom McFarlane figures

While most Hall of Famers end up in Canton, these three are heading to Canada. My customer continues to build his collection of NFL Hall of Fame legends.

All player notes were pulled from Wikipedia.

A first-round draft pick in the 1944 NFL Draft, Van Buren ran for 444 yards in nine games during his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles. He also led the league in returning punts as a rookie. The following season, Van Buren led the NFL in rushing for the first time. He would win three additional rushing crowns in 1947, 1948 and 1949, becoming the first running back in NFL history to achieve three consecutive rushing titles. Jim Brown (1957–1961, 1963–1965) twice, Earl Campbell (1978–1980), and Emmitt Smith (1991–1993) have since managed that feat. All four are in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame.

“Slingin’ Sammy” not only helped establish the pro game in the nation’s capital, he also was a major influence in the offensive revolution that occurred in the late 1930s and early 1940s. By the time Baugh was through, the forward pass was a primary offensive weapon. Obviously, such a change could not be totally brought about by one individual. But Baugh was the catalyst that changed the game. No one had seen a passer who could throw with such accuracy.





Few players ever have been so dominant at their position in pro football than Arnie Weinmeister was in his six-year stint as a defensive tackle that began with the New York Yankees of the All-America Football Conference in 1948 and ended with the New York Giants of the NFL in 1953.

Arnie was one of the first defensive players to captivate the masses of fans the way an offensive ball-handler does. At 6-4 and 235 pounds, he was bigger than the average player of his day and he was widely considered to be the fastest lineman in pro football.

With a six-year tenure in the AAFC and NFL, his career is one of the shortest of any Pro Football Hall of Fame member.
