Custom William Henderson McFarlane Figure

William Henderson has always been one of my favorite Packers. He cleared paths for backs like Edgar Bennett, Dorsey Levens & Ahman Green. Henderson was a bruiser who ran and caught the ball well but was also pretty nimble - hurdling defenders became a Hendu staple. One of the great things about William was his locker room presence and team attitude.

I made two versions of Henderson - a dirty and dirtier version. The cleaner one went to a huge Packer fan in Canada. The dirty verison remains in my collection.

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.

Custom LaDainian Tomlinson McFarlane Figure

UPDATE: My LT custom was named "Custom of the Month" by (Sports Toyz)! I was very excited when Elijah told me and very honored. Check out his site (here).

This was a request I received from a board member at spawn.com. McFarlane makes plenty of Tomlinson figures but does not make any collegiate figures. This customer wanted Tomlinson sporting the purple & black of Texas Christian University.

This is an example of Custom Repaint.

It started as Willie Parker:

Here is the feedback I received from my customer:

"I just picked LT up from my condo office. It looks more amazing in person than it did in the pictures. Thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job. It definitely will be the centerpiece of my collection and you'll be getting more work from me in the future!"

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.
