Custom McFarlane Punters

One of the most difficult customs to pull off is the punter. There is no existing base figure to work off of to create a punter in action. Most customizers choose a more generic sideline or bench pose to represent the punter. Here are 4 punters that I have created.

Let's start with the lefties...

#5 Cambridge High School























Dustin Colquitt - Kansas City Chiefs.
This was requested by a customer who has met Dustin a number of times. The blank white plate was added to the base for Dustin's autograph.

























And now the righties...

Cris Shale - New York Jets & Washington Redskins
These were requested by Cris' college roommate as gifts for Cris.

Cambridge High School Banquet 2008

On Sunday October 26th I had the privilege of presenting the 2008 seniors with their custom football figures. It was so great to meet the athletes and parents and put faces with the figures I've spent so much time on. Best of luck to Cambridge as they enter the playoffs on Tuesday.

My First Custom - Brett Favre

Note - This custom was created in May of 2006.

For my first custom, I wanted to go big. I wanted an original pose and something very unique. I decided to start with my favorite player - Brett Favre.

Brett Favre and Ladainian Tomlinson have been featured more than any other athlete in McFarlane's line-ups. I decided to start where it all began - high school. Using this single photo of Favre playing for Hancock High, I decided to get started.

To be fair, my first figure was actually tackled twice. Seen on the right is my first attempt. The pose was not perfect and there were some anatomy issues that left me knowing I could do better. Learning from my mistakes, I was able to finish the with a figure I could be proud of.

That is also where the name for 4Star Customs comes from. The 4 represents Brett Favre's iconic number.

Cambridge High School Banquet 2007

Last year, I had the privilege of being able to make figures for the graduating senior football players. I'm currently working on the figures for 2008 so I thought it would be a good time to showcase these. All the figures feature my signature custom base.
