=======================================

i love this line up. but they've already done 2 Roethlisbergers and a slew of Brady and Manning (Eli and Peyton both.) i was hoping for a Harrison or Holmes. maybe even a Hampton or Foote. but i guess another Troy and a Hines would be good enough for me. something to look forward to this summer. =)

what do you guys think?

[jjpro11]

i bet they'll make a special edition figure in the future for the holmes toe-tap catch.

[MACH1]

When are they coming out.

Link?

[SteelCityKing]

i'm not sure about the exact release date. bu they usually release new editions quarterly. so, i'm assuming Series 20 will be before April, 21 in the summer, and 22 in the fall. but here's the link:

also, i just read they are doing a Marc-Andre Fleury figure coming out soon. =)

i think they should do either the new Troy or Ben figures with the throwbacks on. that's just me.

[SteelCityKing]

i don't mind the upcoming list when it comes to Pittsburgh players. i just hope they use new sculpts and molds to make them different than the last few releases.

4 Peyton Manning and 3 Eli Manning figures should do it for the Mannings until they retired but wait...they're doing an Archie Manning NFL Legends Series 5. and TWO more Tom Brady's when he barely played in 2008. i would've opted for a Matt Cassell, but i don't get to pick the players.

also, a 12" Roethlisberger and Romo tobe released soon as well.

[MACH1]

Here,s a link for time and dates.

Ben has a 3" figure coming out also.

[SteelCityKing]

also, a 3rd edition of Mario Lemeiux NHL Legends is on it's way. =)

Here's a link to get one of the WILLIAM DAVIS COLLECTIBLES HINES WARD. Better hurry, only one left. Got mine.

So we should see a Steelers SB XLIII 3-pack as well, and hopefully, at long last a Rod Woodson to follow his HoF induction.

Really looking forward to getting Hines in his Bulldog uni. I'll put it next to Jerome in his gold dome when I do that one.

I can put this McFarlane thing down and walk away any time. Any time I tell you!! :banging:

what do you guys think?

We'll see a Steelers SB 3-pack that would have to include the Silverback and Tone TDs and probably yet another Ben.

i wouldn't be surprised.

i'd like to see a Defense 3-Pack Harrison, Foote, Farrior or Harrison, Hampton, Keisel...just mix and match any 3 defensive players. but do something different, put them in their throwbacks or something. i'm gunning for those. haha!

[Stang909]

Harrison, Woodley, and Farrior would be nice in a 3 pack

Don't hold your breath for those. There's a definite offense bias at McFarlane. Actually it runs about 5-1 offense figures. Defense you're going to have to do yourself.

I've made a a Ham, Hampton, Silverback throwback, Farrior, Dwight White, Lake, Blount, and Staunter so far and am working on a Ernie Holmes, Woodley, LLoyd, Ike, and Ryan Clark. I want to do an LC to round out the Steel Curtain but can't quite figure out the subject(s). Maybe a Strahan bottom and Lott top, I have no idea how you'd get a Kiesel. I haven't done a Woodson because I suspect they'll do one at some point.

[SteelersMongol]

Big Ben comes with size big (12"). So excited. :thumbsup: What's with Polamalu #3? Which one was Polamalu #2? And there is no James Harrison or LaMarr Woodley. That sucks.

Sorry it was a double post. My apologies.

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between this Hines & the other Hines figures that were released before, please? 2 me it looks about the same. :noidea:

[Vincent]

I got mine in a 3-pack with Peezy and Ben. I don't see the difference at all.

[PisnNapalm]

All I know is that I don't have one yet....

[SteelersMongol]

I got mine in a 3-pack with Peezy and Ben. I don't see the difference at all.

Yeah, I got that Hines, & the very first 1 that was released. They both looked the same.

On the sidenote, if they release Hines's figure again with their SB 3 pack (even though HInes is my most loved current player) I'd b pissed. I don't like it when McFarlane's try 2 do some kind of cheap shots on us (like painting someone else's body in Steelers uni & call it Faneca, or Willie Parker that is taller than Big Ben, etc.).

[PisnNapalm]

Damn!! I just did some looking. The Eagles William Thomas figure is the same as the Faneca figure, just painted different. Fark...

[86WARD]

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between this Hines & the other Hines figures that were released before, please? 2 me it looks about the same. :noidea:

I think this one you are talking about has gloves on. The original does not.

No Super Bowl XLIII pack for the upcoming year? I was hoping for a Harrison or Holmes.

I'd love another Hines Ward Figure...in a new pose!!! :tt02:

They'll put out a 3-pack and I'll bet dollars to donuts it's Ben 3, Donald Driver repainted as Santonio, and DeMarcus Ware repainted as Silverback.

Yeah, Hines repainted as a Bulldog doesn't get me going either. But I'd buy it.

When are they going to do Rod?? They have, what, 90 neon deons? :poop:
