    OT: McFarlane Figures

    ok look, I'm not like obsessed with McFarlane figures or anything lol since I only have one but I really want a Sabre one, so I'm kinda trippin that they release series after series and they have these bullsh** players, like Ales Hemskey for one, they're on their 11th series, thats like over a hundred different players, and they don't have a single Sabres player, or flordia, nashville or phoenix player for that matter... its bull, so what I did was email a half angry letter to Spawn, heres my email... hopefully, any of you who feel the same about this can email your own opinions in to Spawn and HOPEFULLY for series 12 they can fit everyones needs...

    --------------------------------------
    Look I've been a HUGE fan of your NHL figures, they look more amazing after every series, BUT having said that, after almost every new series line up is announced, I am always dissapointed and I send an email to you guys... I LOVE hockey and my favorite team is the Buffalo Sabres, you've made figures for every team except 4, including Buffalo, I really don't understand it, I do however understand you have to make whoever's hot and who will sell, but why is there a need for 4 different Theodore's, even 2 Jagr's, Jagr is nothing now, he junk... it can't be that theres no talent on either Buffalo, Florida, Nashville or Phoenix, and I'm not just emailing you to fit my needs, there are fans of these 4 teams that are dying for you guys to make someone from their favorite team... here I'll name some guys you could definently make who deserve it a whole lot more than Ales Hemskey for example

    Buffalo... Miroslav Satan, Chris Drury, Danny Briere
    Florida... Roberto Luongo, Oli Jokinen, Jay Boumeester
    Nashville... Thomas Vokoun, Steve Sullivan, Scott Walker
    Phoenix... Shane Doan, Mike Comrie, Derek Morris

    there, i don't mean to sound like an idiot but I think you should consider every NHL fans needs by giving them someone from their team, most people dont care who it is as long as its their team, I really hope you consider this for your next series.

    Thanks, Matt

    Makaveli,

    I've been collecting McFarlane's SportsPicks since the non-logoed NHLPA figs. I had the Hasek NHLPA fig, and have off-&-on bought the NHL, NFL, and MLB SPs since they became officially licenesed. For MLB, I buy only Houston Astros (I'm a fan), for NFL I buy players I like in the uni I like best, and the same for NHL. However, I've vowed not to buy another NHL SP until a Sabre is made. I'll be holding my breath for a long, long, long time, this I know. Ok, I guess I'll buy Sharks as well, for the wife.

      Usually don't have the income to invest in the McFarlane's although I would be willing to get an Afinogenov one...

        Better find yourself a customizer, Darryl, because that's the best chance you'll ever see of McFarlane making a Max SP.

            Not to resurrect a dead thread or anything, but, a dealer that I've bought many of my NHL SPs from emailed this list to me, stating it is a "likely" lineup for the 3rd line of NHL Legends by McFarlane:

            --Gilbert Perrault
            --Brad Park
            --Tony Esposito
            --Marcel Dionne
            --Pete Mahovolich



            Usually there are 6 SPs in the line, so another Gretzky is likely...Even though they've done 4 in the 6" line of Legends so far. However, seeing Perreault mentioned is AWESOME. It would make a fine choice for the 1st ever Buffalo SP. Plus, it would match the personalized 8 x 10" of Perreault my good friend in Montreal, Tom, got for me. I do believe I posted images here before, right?

            Should you ever want me to ask, just let me know. I may be able to get my buddy to help out. He was the one who did this, if you recall:








            He did these 3, as well (Before McFarlane ever thought to do any repaints in the Nords jerseys):

              Ales Hemsky. Who the hell is that?


              OOooohh, i see he plays for Edmonton... that explains it.

              I honest to God never heard of the guy before this thread. Glad he's got his own figure.

                I don't collect those things either, but they do look pretty cool. I have a Bledsoe one someone gave me as a gift, but I think I would buy a Sabre if they came out.

                  Haha a Max one would be awesome, I would kind of like one showing him in stride while skating...

                  The only problem is I have a minimum wage job and a gas guzzling truck which means lack of spare funds right now to buy one of those bad boys!

                          Yeah, his comic book portion of his business did. His McFarlane Toys operates separate from his comics company.
