Custom Al Harris McFarlane Figure

I found out that Al Harris was going to be doing a signing near me last April. I only had 2 weeks notice to finish this custom. Normally, I can do a repaint comfortably in a week. However, for this occasion, I wanted to create something completely unique and original to impress Al Harris. I decided to replicate his shining moment when he picked off Matt Hasselbeck and scored the game winning touchdown during a Packers/Seahawks playoff game. You might remember this game more for Hasselbecks famous last words at the coin toss - "We want the ball and we're going to score." Sorry Matt. Not in our house.

This customs utilized parts from over 5 figures. A lot of sculpting was done to create the finished look. The dreadlocks were individually sculpted, textured and painted.

Al was stoked when he saw the figure. It's not the first one he's seen done but definitely one of the most unique and detailed. Al asked me several times if he could have it and said it was just amazing. I instead gave him a few of my cards for him to contact me about making one. Hopefully this leads to some Packer contacts. I was able to get the figure signed along with a football though.

This was the first time I got to show a professional athlete the figure in person and it was such a great experience. Hopefully there will be more like this in the future.
