McFarlane to Roll Out NFL Action Figures

A new action figures line of NFL superstars in college uniforms will launch in August in a deal between McFarlane Toys and The Collegiate Licensing Company.

The McFarlane Sports Picks collection will feature Tom Brady (University of Michigan Wolverines), Ray Lewis (University of Miami Hurricanes), Peyton Manning (University of Tennessee Volunteers), Adrian Peterson (University of Oklahoma Sooners), Hines Ward (University of Georgia Bulldogs) and JaMarcus Russell (Louisiana State University Tigers).

"Sports fans have been asking us for years to pay tribute to the college teams of the top professional athletes by commemorating them in their college uniforms," says Todd McFarlane, founder of McFarlane Toys. "By partnering with the CLC and the colleges, we are now able to bring a new dimension to our Sports Picks' brand. We are designing a unique player-centric collegiate product that is different from anything else on the market."
