The Babe launches one deep at Yankee Stadium
Now that McFarlane Toys has finally started putting out figures of retired baseball players as part of their new Cooperstown collection with Series 2 they go back all of the way to the inaugural class of the Hall of Fame to provide an action figure of George Herman "Babe" Ruth.Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds and everybody else can hit as many home runs as they want and the Sultan of Swat is never going to be forgotten as the greatest slugger the came has produced.Ruth led the American League in homers 12 times and crushed 714 longballs while leading the Yankees to seven pennants and four World Series.Since he was also one of the best left-handed pitchers of his generation and fulfills the Little League ideal of the kid who pitches and bats third, Ruth has a substantial claim to be the greatest baseball player of all-time.Ty Cobb and Ted Williams might have been better hitters, but how many consecutive shutout innings did they pitch in the World Series?Babe Ruth is the monumental figure in the history of the game and the only person who deserves to be mentioned in the same breath in terms of their impact on the game is Jackie Robinson.

This 6" inch figure shows Babe Ruth finishing his swing.He has obviously connected and is depositing this ball in the general direction of center field at Yankee Stadium.As is the case with these figures Ruth wears a period correct uniform.The Yankees had removed the "NY" monogram from their jersey in 1917 and went with a plain, pinstripes-only look for two decades until it was reinstated in 1936.That means Babe Ruth never wore the Yankee uniform with the "NY," which is why it is not on this figure.It was in 1929 that the Yankees became the first team to make numbers a permanent part of the uniform, which became a standard practice by 1932.Ruth wore #3 because he batted third in the order and Lou Gehrig #4 as the cleanup hitter (Bill Dickey originally wore #10 because he was the third of the three rotating catchers who batted eighth in the Yankee lineup.But I digress again).The bat is a Babe Ruth model Louisville Slugger and the base for this figure is of home plate at Yankee Stadium.

The rest of the MLB Cooperstown Series 2 figures are for "Catfish" Hunter of the Oakland A's, Cal Ripken, Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles, Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies, Willie "Pops" Stragell of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Willie Mays playing for the San Francisco Giants.Of course, with Yogi Berra and Reggie Jackson in the MLB Cooperstown Series 1 set of figures and the Bambino in Series 2, it is to be hoped that the flood gates are opened for other Yankees greats from Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey to Whitey Ford and Thurman Munson.I do have my doubts that Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle will be licensed for such action figures, but hopefully over the next decade we will be able to get most of the players who have their numbers retired at Yankee Stadium (anybody notice that all of the magic numbers on "Lost" are those of retired Yankees?).Be aware that there are 12 inch figures of Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken, Jr. coming out this year as well, and the Ruth figure is different from this one. ...

Finally, a McFarlane figure of A-Rod wearing pinstripes
This is the third figure of Alex Rodriguez that McFarlante Toys has put out, but the big difference is that this time he is wearing the pinstripes of the New York Yankees.Threes are sort of wild with this figure since not only is it the third figure, but A-Rod now plays third base and wears #13 for the Bronx Bombers (he wore #3 in the past, but that is not possible when you wear pinstripes).The first Rodriguez figure was part of MLB Series 2 and showed him finishing his swing for the Texas Rangers, while the second figure had him going for a group ball as part of MLB Series 8.This third 6-inch figure has A-Rod getting ready to swing at a pitch and the nice touch is the front foot being slightly off the ground as he gets ready to drive the ball (it looks better from head-on or from the backside than it does from the front).

Alex Rodriguez is apparently much more comfortable playing with the Yankees in this second season after he and his massive contract ($22 million a year) were traded by the Rangers for second baseman Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named later.At this point in the 2005 season the Yankees have played 41 games, which would roughly be a fourth of the season, and A-Rod leads the majors with 14 home runs and 41 runs batted in (mostly batting 5th).That would translate into 56 home runs and 164 runs batted in over a whole season, which would meet the expectations of most Yankee fans (and maybe even of George Steinbrenner, but I do not want to go out on a limb).Rodriguez turns 30 on July 27th and since he is only five shy of the mark he should have over 400 career home runs by that time.Yankee Stadium is, of course, built for left-handed power hitters, but right now it does not seem to be hurting A-Rod.Having been considered the greatest hitting shortstop of all-time when he played for Seattle and Texas, the question is now how long it will take for him to surplant Mike Schmidt as the greatest hitting third baseman of all-time.

McFarlane's MLB Series 11 has the second figures for Ken Griffey, Jr. of the Cincinnati Reds, Mark Prior of the Chicago Cubs, Mike Piazza of the New York Mets, and American League M.V.P. Vladimir Guerrero of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (or however that goes).Getting their first figures are Roy Hallady of the Toronto Blue Jays, Bill Wagner of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Johnny Damon of the Boston Red Sox (setting a record for most hair on a McFarlane baseball figure). ...

The Power of E!
This is one the best sculpted liknesses of the King I've ever had the pleasure to own! Just looking at it makes me want to have my Aunt Gemadyssa fix me up a peanutbutter and nana sandwich. McFarlane does great work and the twelve inch Elvis is no exception. It would be a great addition to anyone's shrine to the King.

Simply Amazing
I bought this Statue (lets be honest here.. its NOT an action figure) for my Girlfriend who is absolutely in love with Elvis but to be honest, I want one for myself now too and Im not even that big of an Elvis fan.. The sculpt is simply Amazing and the attention to detail is top notch.. Todd, your company will always recieve my business. You have the best artists on your team.. keep up the good work!

Great Collectable!

Elvis Rocks!
Once you see this toy You'll probably scream "Viva Las Vegas!"This toy is so cool!If you don't buy it you ain't nothin' but a hound dog!I want this toy, I need this toy, I love this toy!(Get it)

Elvis would be pleased....
I was really excited when I first heard that McFarlane was doing a series of Elvis figures. I'm not just a huge Elvis fan, but I like him alright and living right next to Memphis, I figured I would check them out, to see if McFarlane would do a good job. I was not disappointed. The figure looks simply spectacular! The likeness is very good, and the attention to detail is extraordinary. The only thing that I didn't like very much is the stage. It's red plastic, and it looks like plastic. It's not supposed to look like plastic. It's supposed to look like a stage. It kind of detracts from the figure a bit when you look at it on your shelf. But the figure itself is just awesome. I do like him captured in the act of singing and playing his guitar with one leg up on the seat of his chair. This would be the perfect present for any Elvis fan, I promise you!

gorgeous!!!
this is one of best looking Elvis statues in my collection.
it has a place of honor on the Elvis shelf. ... Read more

AWESOME!
First off, I have all of the MacFarlane KISS figures he has ever put out. I have all the KISS action figures up on my wall in my "KISS-room." But the Love Gun box set truly takes the cake. It even includes the three groupies & the pillars & sun. The only thing that got me irked was that after a month I ordered it,its price dropped from $49.99 to $39.99. If I had waited 30 days,I could have saved $10;oh well. It still kicks ass no matter what!!! My next wish is for a Dressed To Kill box set!!!! ... Read more

HAHAHA
Oh lord, this thing sucks.

Spawn looks like Batman and Spiderman had a baby, ate it, and then puked it up again.

Great plastic statue
This isn't really an action figure. It is a "plastic" statue made for its purposes: for display. With the cape, the height of the figure is 28 inches. yes, thats huge. Awesome looking pose, its durable, worth getting. Whatelse is there to say about this statue?

Truly exceptional!
I enjoy collecting truly Authentic Action figures.Most recently, I collected the Lord of the Rings 20" Aragorn and Legolas action figures with the laser sharp details and authentic costumes.I personally thought no other figures would captured such artistic and detailed accuracy, then the Flying Spawn Action Figure comes along.Words cannot describe how beautifully detailed it is.The figure stands more than the mere 12" inches stated on the box.The detail with the Cape (it comes in 3 pieces), the posing of the character (seemingly flying through the air), the chains, the bats, all in all truly an impressive piece.How much time and effort did McFarlane spend on the design of this character boggles the mind.For Spawn fans or for the dedicated action figure fan this is a must Have! ...

Yanks - Sox rivalry, it doesnt get better than this!
This is an awesome collectors item for a yankee or red sox fan. Youve got Jeter a guy who has won 4 WS rings in 8 years in the Bigs and Nomar who is one of the top 3 SS's in the game, and is a great player all around also. On top of that its the YANKEES vs REDSOX!! Must have for any Jeter or No-Mah fan. Very nice mcfarlane piece.

Nomar tries to take Jeter out with a wicked hard slide
Once thing the Alex Rodriguez deal did was to make the debate as to who is the best shortstop in baseball still playing the position of shortstop relatively simple (that debate is worthy of another star in the educational value rating).Here we have the two prime contenders, Nomar Garciaparra of the Boston Red Sex sliding into second base in an attempt to break up a double-play, but Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees has already fired the ball off to first base.Come to think of these figures also can be considered educational because Nomar is showing perfect form on the slide and Jeter is doing likewise on the throw to first.

Of course the question is whether Yankee fans will be able to tolerate having a figure of Nomar (he is clearly out already, which should make it more palatable) or that BoSox fans can endure having Jeter in the house (he finally got his batting average over .200, so there really would not be a debate except that Garciaparra has not played a game yet this year, just another ironic aspect to the big debate).The key details on this pair of 6" figures this time is actually the base, where Nomar's slide has smoothed out the dirt behind him and already thrown dirt on the first base side of the second base bag.McFarlane usually manages to come up with some nice details on these figures, which set the standard for action figures, even if they are only movie characters and not sports stars.

These are actually one of two McFarlane Toys figures for both players to come up this year.The Nomar Garciaparra 2 figure came out with McFarlane's MLB Series 9 and the Derek Jeter 2 figure will be part of MLB Series 10.The second 2-Pack has Todd Helton holding Sammy Sosa at first.It will be interesting to see see what other combinations they can come up with in this format: Mike Piazza getting reading to tag Roger Clemens at the plate, Ichiro beating the throw to Jason Giambi at first, Chipper Jones letting Andruw Jones catch the ball in left center, Alex Rodriguez at bat with Ivan Rodriguez catching, etc.There could be some interesting possibilities with this format.

We can also look forward to the first series in the Cooperstown Collection this summer, which will have living Hall of Fame members Yogi Berra, Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Brooks Robinson, Nolan Ryan, and Tom Seaver.There will also be 12" figures of Ryan and Sammy Sosa around World Series time as McFarlane Toys continues to expand its sports figure lines. ...

Willie Mays the "Say Hey Kid" as a San Francisco Giant
I got an autograph from Willie Mays once at a giant baseball card show and what I remember is that he had the biggest hands I have ever seen on a person I have actually met.No wonder the man caught everything that was hit his way; he probably did not actually need the glove.That is a moot point with this figure of Mays for the MLB Cooperstown Series 2 from McFarlane Toys because he is at bat somewhere on the road wearing the gray jersey of the San Francisco Giants.Of course, I was sort of hoping that would do this figure of Mays wearing the home white jersey of the New York Giants as he chased down Vic Wertz's shot into dead center at the Polo Grounds in the 1954 World Series.But there are probably copyright issues or something like that, so this is what fans of the "Say Hey Kid" get and I have a different complaint: I do not think it especially looks like Willie Mays.Very few of these McFarlane sports figures are spot on, but they are usually in the ballpark.But with this one I just do not see it in the face, although the pose certainly captures Mays breaking out of the batters box once he had driven the ball into the outfield.

With the passing of Joe DiMaggio it was Willie Mays who was the obvious choice for the title of greatest living baseball player, although cases can certainly be made for Hank Aaron and Stan Musial.But Mays excelled at all phases of the game and when you talk about somebody being a five-tool player, this is the guy who serves as the prototype.Before he entered the Hall of Fame he had amassed 3,283 hits and 600 home runs to go along with the 1951 National League Rookie of the Year award, Most Valuable Player awards in 1954 and 1965, a dozen Gold Gloves, and a record-tying 24 All-Star games (remember, they played the game twice each summer from 1959-62). Certainly few people have played the game with as much enthusiasm and skill as Willie Mays.

The rest of the MLB Cooperstown Series 2 figures are for "Babe" Ruth of the New York Yankees, Jim "Catfish" Hunter of the Oakland A's, Cal Ripken, Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles, Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Willie "Pops" Stragell of the Pittsburgh Pirates.Now that there is a Willie Mays figure we should be able to look forward to figures of Willie McCovey and Juan Marachial down the road. For now you can get this Willie Mays figure by itself or as part of a set with his godson Barry Bonds, which gives you the two players currently in third and fourth place on the all-time home run list. ...

Baseball's reigning Iron Man fields a grounder at short
I have to say that when I heard Cal Ripken, Jr. was going to be part of McFarlane Toy's MLB Cooperstown Series 2 that I was hoping they would show him taking his famous lap around Camden Yard when he broke Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played.Instead we have Ripken, wearing the home white jersey of the Baltimore Orioles, playing a ground ball at shortstop.Notice his technique: Ripken is going to use both hand to catch the ball when it bounces into his glove and that his eyes are on the ball.That is the key detail with this 6" figure and represents the type of solid ballplayer that Ripken was throughout his major league career.No wonder this was a guy who played with one team his 20-season entire career in a time when most other stars were always finding they could earn more money to play somewhere else.

Ripken is not yet in the Hall of Fame, but his election to Cooperstown is a foregone conclusion when he becomes eligible next year.Ripken won the American League Rookie of the Year award in 1982 and was named Most Valuable Player the following season when the Orioles won the World Series and won the M.V.P. again in 1991.At the end of his career Ripken had a .276 average, 431 home runs and 1,695 runs batted in.Before Ripken All-Star shortstops were in the mold of Luis Aparicio, Bert Campaneris and Ozzie Smith.After Ripken they were power hitters like Alex Rodriguez, Nomar Garciappara, and Miguel Tejada. But of course Ripken's biggest legacy is shattering Gehrig's record for consecutive games played, breaking the hallowed mark of 2,130 games and setting a new standard of 2,632.Breaking the record in the wake of the player's strike and the cancellation of the World Series in 1994 was crucial in restoring the faith of fans in the national pastime, which is why I would have liked to have seen Ripken trotting along waving at the fans while acknowledging the emotional standing ovation he received when they stopped the game after the sixth inning when the game became official.

The rest of the MLB Cooperstown Series 2 figures are for "Catfish" Hunter of the Oakland A's, Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies, Willie Mays playing for the San Francisco Giants, Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees, and Willie "Pops" Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates.Now that they are doing players in (or definitely heading for) the Hall of Fame it will be interesting to see when they come up with the Lou Gehrig figure to go along with Ruth or Ripken, depending on your associations.For now the figure from Series 1 that best complements this one is obviously that of Brooks Robinson playing third base.Of course, if there is one McFarlane figure that deserves a 5-star rating for durability, Cal Ripken, Jr. would have to be the one. ...

Awesome
I purchased this and Spawn: Bloodaxe 22 without ever even having heard of the whole Spawn thing, and I have to say it was a purchase well worth it.The detail and craftsmanship are exquisite.These toys are obviously not meant for young children, even some older women I know got scared when they saw these toys.I heartily recommend this to anyone who's interested in toys of the Spawn genre. ...

The most beloved living baseball player: Yogi Berra
Ever since McFarlane Toys started doing sports action figures fans have been asking for 6" figures of retired sports legends. While this was the most common request McFarlane got from customers there were some problems in terms of licensing, but now the first series of sports legends is being offered in 2004 as the Cooperstown Collection for Major League Baseball. The first six figures are Hall of Famers Bob Gibson, Brooks Robinson, Nolan Ryan, Reggie Jackson, Tom Seaver, and the senior member of the group, Yogi Berra.

Here is the Yankees catcher, wearing his pin stripped uniform with the number 8 (which he shared with fellow Yankee Hall of Fame catcher Bill Dickey). Yogi is sculpted crouched in the on-deck circle. The cute thing about this figure is that you can tell there are two outs. How do we know that? Because Yogi has his shin guards on already in case the third out of the inning gets made before he gets to bat. The uniform and equipment are both specific to the period of the 1950s, while the base provides the on deck circle where there is a rosin bag and even a folded towel under Yogi's knee to ease the pain in his aching joints. My only complaint is that they really have not captured the look of Yogi's face, but then I am routinely disappointed by photographs of Yogi as well.

Fans of McFarlane's action figures will be able to look forward to more retired greats in future series and it will be interesting to see if they will be limited to living members of the various Hall of Fames. I would certainly like to see a series of these Cooperstown figures honoring the inaugural class. But starting off with the player who for my money is the most beloved living baseball player and still making us laugh in television commercials today is a good start.

The greatest third baseman of all-time crushing a baseball
I wonder what Mike Schmidt thinks of Alex Rodriguez moving from shortstop to third base.I also wonder what Honus Wagner thinks about it, but since Schmidt is still one of the living it would be his opinion that matters more in the current debate.Schmidt and Wagner would be my choices for the left side of the infield on my All-Time Baseball Team.Wagner's position was pretty secure until A-Rod came along, but not that he has started playing third base it could be Schmidt that has to worry about his status as the greatest player at his position who ever lived.

Schmidt provided a combination of power and defense at the hot corner that gets him to the top of the list (i.e., more home runs than Brooks Robinson and better fielding than Eddie Mathews).A right-handed slugger who hit 548 home runs in his career he holds the single season mark for the position with 48 homers in 1980 (A-Rod will not get the record for homers while playing third for a career, but for a single season?Do not bet against him after he belted three last night at the Stadium, but remember that Schmidt hit four in row in one game in 1976).Named to the All-Star team 12 times and the winner of 10 Gold Gloves, Schmidt was named the Player of the Decade for the 1980s by the "Sporting News." Enough said.

I think this is one of the better sports figures that McFarlane Toys has put out, showing Schmidt at the moment of contact as he is about to tell Mr. Spalding to go long.Schmidt is wearing the blue jersey of the Philadelphia Phillies and his number 20 (now retired).He was a tough guy in a tough town (is there a tougher sports town to be a home player in than Philadelphia?The only thing worse was Tehran when Saddam's son was running the Iraqi Olympic program), and this 6" figure captures him perfectly.This is clearly the best of the figures in this second series of current and future Hall of Famers.

The rest of the MLB Cooperstown Series 2 figures are for Jim "Catfish" Hunter of the Oakland A's, Cal Ripken, Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles, Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Willie Mays playing for the San Francisco Giants, and that Babe Ruth fellow who hit a whole lot of home runs without ever taking steroids (not to mention ever playing a major league game at night, on the West Coast, or against an African-American pitcher: no wonder baseball fans like to argue out the relative merits of old-timers versus the ballplayers of today). If you missed Series 1 then you need to track down Yogi Berra, Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Brooks Robinson, Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver. It is really great that McFarlane Toys is going back to these great old school players and I am waiting to see who they come up with next (Honus Wagner would be nice). ... Read more
