McFarlane Toys has worked through The Collegiate Licensing Company, an IMG company, to license its 2009 College Football line, which will feature 6-inch scale figures of six pro football superstars in their school’s home uniform, including:
TOM BRADY — The University of Michigan Wolverines
RAY LEWIS — University of Miami Hurricanes
PEYTON MANNING — University of Tennessee Volunteers
ADRIAN PETERSON — The University of Oklahoma Sooners
HINES WARD — University of Georgia Bulldogs
JaMARCUS RUSSELL — Louisiana State University Tigers
The line will feature the incredible detail, signature poses, and picture-perfect facial likenesses that made McFarlane Toys famous with sports fans and collectors.
“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,” said 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.”
“McFarlane Toys has created a unique new product that will take fan loyalty to the next level,” said David Kirkpatrick, CLC’s Vice President of Non-Apparel Marketing. “With high-quality action figures featuring current football professionals in their respective college uniforms, we believe the McFarlane line will be greatly received by college sports fans around the nation.”
McFarlane Toys’ 2009 College Football is scheduled to be in stores August 2009.
