They are doing a new LEGENDS series and they have freakin Troy Aikman.

I love how they made his eyes, they look a lot like the real thing, that constant pissed off need to take a dump look he had all of those years. :)

I like the Barry Sanders one too. More here.

Todd's stuff really does put all other figures to shame. I can't wait for his 101st Airborne figures coming out.

WOW, that is actually the first action figure stuff that has ever amazed me...yet.

McFarlane does own

The figures look good, but they never look as good as the models in the catalog. The ones they use for those photos are often 2 feet tall and have room for much more detail. But yeah, they do put all other figures to shame.

It sucks. I'll go to the toy store to reminisce and I see all the action figures...they're so shitty. So fucking terrible. Nothing compares to Ninja Turtle and G.I.Joe and X-Men figures. Those were the greatest of all time. There aren't any that come out these days to compete with the stature of those.

Todd has some amazing detail in his other works of art. You should check em out at http://www.spawn.com

I am telling you AMAZING DETAIL...

I don't see the point in athlete figures. Unless if you wanted to have the ultimate face off: Tom Brady vs Buddy Jesus!

Athlete figures are lame. Unless you need it as the final centerpiece in your personal shrine to Troy Aikman, you're paying $10 for a toy you can't play with.

Actually I want a Jimmy Johnson shrine, but they don't do coaches yet. ;)

I'm kinda surprised that they didn't do an Emmitt Smith figure before Aikman. Then again, when these were first getting worked on, Emmitt was still playing on a team. Ah well.

They made a Cardinals one too. The Cowboys one is going for good money on Ebay too! It was in the Series 1 they made.

He look like he's wearing knit isotoners, not athletic gloves.

If my Troy Aikman doesn't have authentic spring-loaded karate chop bullet pass action, then fuck you Todd McFarlane you big bitch.
