McFarlane Sports Picks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

McFarlane's Sports Picks is the name given to the line of sports-related action figures released by McFarlane Toys, a company founded by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane. The figures feature lifelike renderings of select stars in the five most popular sports in North America - baseball, football, hockey, basketball and stock car racing. The company has official licensing rights to the major professional leagues of all of these sports.

[edit] Beginnings

An avid sports fan, collector of sports memorabilia and part-owner of a professional hockey team (the Edmonton Oilers), Todd McFarlane created McFarlane's Sports Picks in 2001 with the release of a series of NHL hockey players. The figures were licensed by the NHLPA but not by the league itself; as such, the players' jerseys featured the colours of the teams for which they played, but the NHLPA logo in place of the team logos (which the NHL holds rights to).

The figures proved to be popular enough with fans and collectors that the NHL - and later the NFL - signed a licensing agreement with McFarlane, allowing future releases to be branded with league and team logos.

Later in 2001, McFarlane's Sports Picks released Series 1 of their NHL line, and Series 1 & 2 of their NFL line.

[edit] Complete listing of MLB Baseball

[edit] MLBPA Figures (2000)

  • Barry Bonds, Home (white), variant: Big League Challenge (blue)
  • Chipper Jones, Home (white), variant: Big League Challenge (red)
  • Manny Ramírez, Alternate Home (blue), variant: Big League Challenge (red)
  • Alex Rodriguez, Road (grey), variant: Big League Challenge (blue)
  • Sammy Sosa, Road (grey), variant: Big League Challenge (blue)
  • Mark McGwire, Home (white), variant: Big League Challenge (red)

NOTE: The first series of MLB McFarlane figures were licensed by the MLBPA but not by the MLB proper. As such, no figure sported MLB logos but rather the players last name across the chest and last initial on the batting helmet. However, each was painted to match the color scheme of the team for which they played at the time (Giants, Braves, Indians, Mariners, Cubs, and Cardinals respectively). In addition, a variant of each figure was also painted in the uniform which the player wore during the initial revival of the Big League Challenge. These variant figures were not released with the initial wave, but rather were unloaded several years later at bargain prices to various retailers. Player scuplts were later reused (with the exception of McGwire who retired following the 2001 season) in the subsequent releases of each as MLB licensed figures. A second wave of figures was planned to be released and included Mike Piazza, José Canseco, McGwire 2, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, and Shawn Green. This plan was scrapped, however, once McFarlane obtained the rights to MLB licensed figures.

  • Jeff Bagwell, Houston Astros, Regular: Alt. Home (red), Chase: Alt. Home (white)
  • John Smoltz, Atlanta Braves, Regular: Home (white), Chase: Road (grey)

  • Surprise Figure: Pat Burrell, Big League Challenge (red)
  • Surprise Figure: Troy Glaus, Big League Challenge (red)
  • Surprise Figure: Alex Rodriguez, Big League Challenge (blue)

NOTE: Due to the fact that Richie Sexson had signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks by the time that his figure was released, his regular figure is considered a retro and, although included in the regular assortment, was short printed. A similar situation occurred with the Kevin Brown figure. However, his signing with the New York Yankees was early enough to allow a mid-run revision of the figure. Supposedly, the Dodgers and Yankees versions were produced in equal quantities.

Series 9 (2004)

[edit] Series 10-19

Series 10 (2004)

  • Derek Jeter (2), New York Yankees, Home (white)

  • Rafael Palmeiro, Baltimore Orioles, Regular: Alt. Home (black), Chase: Retro Texas Rangers Home (white)
  • Surprise Figure: Miguel Tejada (Update), Baltimore Orioles, Home (white)

NOTE: Series 10 represented a change in the production of "Retro" figures. Up to series 9, all "Retros" were packaged with unique artwork dissimilar to that of the overall series and/or released in a series subsequent to the initial release of a figure. Beginning with series 10's Pettitte and Palmeiro "Retros" began to be looked at by McFarlane more as chase pieces than surprise figures and thus "Retros" released in the same series as the initial production of a piece were packaged with artwork which reflected the regular series counterparts. Thus, the Yankees Pettitte and Rangers Palmeiro are considered chases and not surprise figures.

Additionally, variant versions of the error regular Pujols have been found which include a blue wrist band on the left arm.

Additionally, the patch was added erroneously to the hat of the white figure in these cases (Matsuzaka only pitched in road greys in the 2007 World Series) so that versions with and without patch exist in the regular and chase versions of Matsuzaka.

[edit] Unreleased Figures

  • Barry Bonds (2), San Francisco Giants Alt. Home (black) - Originally planned as a second chase figure for MLB Series 5, this figure was never officially inserted into cases. However, at least two packaged samples have leaked to the public with one sold on eBay and a second through private sale.
  • Miguel Tejada, Oakland A's, Home (White) - Originally planned as a second chase figure for MLB Series 5, this figure was never officially inserted into cases. However, an unknown number of packaged samples were leaked though the McFarlane internet store in a "Warehouse Find" special in which they were randomly inserted into cases containing various series.
  • José Canseco, Chicago White Sox, Road (grey) - This figure was originally planned and pictured as a part of MLB Series 3. However, Canseco retired following the 2001 season, thus removing himself from the MLBPA and cancelling the release of the figure. Whether packaged samples exist or not is unknown, but none have appeared for public sale. The sculpt was reused as Albert Pujols from MLB Series 1.
  • Richie Sexson, Milwaukee Brewers, Alt. Home (blue) - While pictured in the toy collectors magazine "Lee's Toy Review" as the regular figure, no package samples are known to exist. Richie Sexson's unclear contract status resulted in an early change in the status of his series 8 figure and, thus, it was short printed as a Brewers retro without addition of a Diamondbacks update.
  • Rickey Henderson, Oakland A's Home (white) - Scupted to be used as a future release and pictured as a teaser on the spawn.com message boards, this figure was put on hold and eventually cancelled when Henderson was unable to land on an MLB roster. It is unknown if packaged samples exist. The sculpt was eventually reused as Sammy Sosa 3 in the 2004 Sosa/Helton 2-pack.

  • Shrek 2 Two Packs - McFarlane capitalized on the release of the 2004 film, Shrek 2, featuring two different 2-figure packs with the two main characters from the film dressed in NASCAR race gear and standing beside the relevant driver. These packs were: Shrek with Bobby Labonte, and Donkey with Tony Stewart.
  • Other Figures - A special boxed set was released in 2004, featuring Dale Earnhardt dressed in his 2001 uniform, surrounded by the seven Winston Cup trophies he won during his career.

[edit] Chase figures

To increase the figures' appeal among collectors, McFarlane Toys issues rare alternately-painted versions of most figures, officially called Chases. Differences between the standard figure and the chase figure usually (but do not always) involve a change in the player's jersey color. Usually, this is a change from a home to an away jersey, or vice versa. A 'retro' chase, depicting a player in the colors of a team he formerly played for, are also sometimes released. Common figure versions are pictured on the back of the figure's packaging, while chase are not. This excludes the NHL series 2 Joe Thornton, Dominik Hasek, NFL 6's Rich Gannon, and NFL Series 11's Julius Jones.

Chase are shipped randomly in factory cases. Buyers looking to purchase specific chases (without having to sift through all of the figures on primary retail store shelves) can usually find them in select hobby stores, on eBay or at collectors' websites. Depending on the figure and the rarity of the chase (ie, the number of units produced), some can fetch up to ten times the retail price of the common figure.

The list below is incomplete but designed to merely list some chase figures which differ from the common figures in ways other than a simple change in jersey colour.

[edit] NASCAR Chases

Chases of Action McFarlane (NASCAR) figures, known as Specialty figures, include a winner's circle-style base and backdrop. These are also unique in that the mass-market figures had alcohol and tobacco advertising removed, while chase figures were authentic and are only sold through McFarlane Toys' website, Spawn.com, or through collectors' stores. They are not sold to buyers under 18 years of age.
