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.

Your repaints certainly fill the bill if someone can't afford a custom figure as they still reflect the personality of the player. That may fit my needs as I am hooked on your Packer figures after I see the two I have ordered. Lee Hillman/Hazard, Ky.

Just got Jeremy's two figures on my e-mail. They both are beautiful and I can't wait to display them both. Randall Cobb is a perfect custom of his catch against Detroit on the sideline early last winter. Looks as if could catch his breath after the fantastic catch! Well worth the wait for my Christmas and Birday present as long as my wife doesn't notice. The Watt repaint looks great too with so much personality in his figure. Anyone wanting to memorialize a favorite player is well worth the treat for ones self. Looking forward to getting more Packer repaints for this old fan of over 50 years. Thanks so much Jeremy for the wonderful works! Regards, Lee Hillman

TS customs makes a better one. You are just a copy cat.

Interesting. I never saw TS custom's version of this. I know Brad and Patrick made very nice ones. What was better about Troy's? What details did he include that I didn't?

My customer was EXTREMELY picky on the details - everything down to the socks had to match a very particular look Deion had. I was able to give my customer everything he was looking for.

So, by all means, please let me know what mine is lacking.

As far as being a "copy cat"....that is a no. You see, I simply make what my customer orders. If it's a custom that someone else has also done, well so be it. I've probably seen at least 15 Deion Sanders repaints so I'm bo no means the first to make this one.

I'm probably the only one that did the socks in such a manner and resculpted the shoes though.

The devil is in the details my friend.
