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.

Custom Don Hutson McFarlane Figure
Donald Montgomery Hutson (January 31, 1913 – June 24, 1997) was the first star wide receiver in the National Football League history. He joined the Green Bay Packers out of the University of Alabama in 1935 and retired in 1945 after 11 seasons.
Hutson is credited with creating many of the modern forward pass routes used in the NFL today. He was the dominant receiver of his day and is widely considered to be one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history, holding almost all important receiving records at the time of his retirement.
This custom is now the centerpiece of my collection.

Custom High School Football Figures
Both of these were customer requests for Christmas. The first one is the customer from his playing days and the second is of his brother. While both appear to be simple repaints - a lot of extras were added making these two customs some of the most labor intensive I've worked on.
I always stress a good custom is about nailing all the fine details. All the equipment added was exactly like the customer wore. The knee brace was completely constructed out of plastic and then the pants and sock were sculpted over it. The elbow pads and gloves are also custom sculpted.
The Douglas butterfly constrictor was constructed by me from plastic. The shoes were resculpted to match the Vick Nikes he wore. The gloves were also resculpted to match the Cutters he wore. All the pride stickers were created in Adobe Illustrator and individually cut out and applied to perfectly match the reference photos - all 44 pride stickers are there.

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.
