Custom McFarlane - color coded pants!

well, here it is.... see what i have unleashed! in the WFL preseason in 1975 the league decided to experiment with color coded pants so the casual observer could grow more familiar with the game. the running backs wore green, the linebackers red, defensive linemen blue, quarterbacks and kickers white with stars, etc. Most veterans refused to wear them so they only tried it out during pre-game warm-ups from what i understand. Below is an actual picture from those warm-ups between the So. California Sun and the Philadelphia Bell, and then pics of my creation. It's running back Anthony Davis of the Sun hurdling linebacker Ron Porter of the Bell. Kind of makes you want to claw your eyes out doesn't it?  I love weird stuff like this:)

McFarlane WFL figure #2

I custom made a Virgil Carter WFL Chicago Fire figure last weekend. I molded the facemask out of clay again. getting a little better each time i think:)

McFarlane WFL figure...

Larry Csonka 1975 Memphis Southmen/Grizzlies of the World Football League that i painted today. i made the face mask out of clay so that it was accurate versus just using the mask that came with the figure originally or just cutting it down with an exacto knife. There's some mistakes and some shaky painting, but i'm happy with it in general... i learned a lot for the next one.

i was able to get the 1975 WFL ball pretty accurate i think...

pretty sure i even nailed the name plate font Memphis used...
