This is funny...
 

Yesterday, I got my order from BB. I'm looking at the players and thinking... "These are really small. Did they send me the right size?" Certainly nothing like I remember when I was a kid.

Today, I get my order from Miggle...and notice the same thing...these players seem awfully small, even the 67 "big men".

Am I wrong. Did the players really shrink that much over 40 years? Even the bases look really small.

I hope with my vision that I'll be able to paint these guys.

Speaking of which, in response to some of my other threads...I'm going to create 2 teams...My personal team will be the 96 Packers composed of various figures for tournaments with not much restrictions; I'm also going to create an all-Miggle team specifically for that tournament...the Texas Longhorns.

Could it be you remember when the players and bases were one piece?
They were larger than todays players. $cch$

That could be because my first set was in the mid 60s.

Vince, where in Michigan are you? There's a large league in Detroit, a fellow up near Traverse City and a few of us in Grand Rapids area.

I live in Caro, in the Thumb. I was hoping there might be some people in the Sag-Bay City-Midland area.

The small players make it easier to keep to scale though.

I am impressed by the players that many in this message board have painted, but for me, uniforms and paint doesn't matter too much as of yet. As a starter, I just want to "train" my players well, and learn to play the game efficiently, and competitively.

And, for all the rest of you Michigan people, I am from Fraser, Michigan, but I currently live out here in the Seattle area of Washington State.

You are going about it the right way if you want "on field production" .... but I know so many coach who quote this phrase ' even if I lose, I will look good doing it!"
So don't sleep on getting your teams looking as good as they play!:dohdh: :rnt; :rnt; :dohdh:
