Default memories...

Don,

I think the thing I remember most is seeing Pat, ............................maybe because he is sooo BIG! so if I left out you and Jayboy I apologize....

I know Jay was always doing something, but I remember Pat coming up to me and showing this and that, ............

And I also remember being worried about unveiling the BuzzBall MAG 7, .............that guys wouldn't like the figures because of the seams around the arms...................but what I thought would be a negative turned out to be a huge positive and one can EASILY make 1000's of different poses without the use of heat, but, just by switching arms and gently bending them or moving the same arms up or down,......and give the figures a completely different look, ..............see the youtube video......... Folks, arrive early to BuzzFest Friday and I'll try to show you some things.......

back to the unveiling, .........they liked them !,.......................but many guys wouldn't allow them in their leagues because of one reason or another, even though they were in line with the existing standards that tudor had established..........and they blend beautifully with the teams of the past!


For the longest time many considered them "custom" figures, .......... but they are not custom because they are mass produced.

Some guys expected me to come to their tournaments, but BuzzBall Figures were not allowed, ........ No, .......... I dont' think so

But now, ...................years and tears later, ..........I'm happy that BuzzBall figures and the classic repros are a mainstay of many teams across the country.
