PLEASE, TO THE MF COMMUNITY, CORRECT ANY MISTAKES I MADE OR ADD IN YOUR OWN SLANT/ANGLE/OPINION TO MY DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGS.

And away we go..............

Miggle China stamped helmet (2years ago) (about $15 on ebay)- the last figs they made. the best of their batch. good detail, paint job and helmet.

Miggle China painted (early 200's)(about $5 on ebay)- cheap figures, not very good detailed at all, wack paint jobs.

Miggle Pro Line figs - i believe also known as ITZ figs. about $7 for like 5 guys at different positions. nice figs, miggles attempt to put out a different pose other than the FAB 5.

Miggle Hong Kong (90's)( about $6 on ebay)- see above, but a little better quality.

Tudor Hong Kong (late 80's)(about $7-$10 on ebay) - see above, but alittle better than that.

Tudor Haiti white shoes (early 80's about $10 - $20 on ebay) - good paint jobs, good figures.

Tudor Haiti black shoes (late 70's) - the best by most accounts as well as the favorites. great paint jobs for a mass manufacturer. these teams are sought after and go for atleast $15 - $20, on up to $50 on ebay.

Tudor Chicken Legs (early 70's)( $10 on ebay) - not as good as haiti at all, more along the lines of 80's HK's with an older look and feel in the unis.

Tudor Hog Legs (1968-early 70's) (in the haiti BS price range) - these are similar in demand to haiti figures. these figures are 'stumpier' in the lineman and all the players are alittle thicker than the tudor teams to come after them. most of them have a dimple on their rear from where they were taken off the sprue. in a complete team, 4 of the guys will have Hong Kong written on the bottom of them.
from my experience, usually the wr and tackle figures are the ones, but not exclusive only.

1967 BIGMEN (crazy $$$ on ebay, not my price range so i will let others chime in) these are the kings of the fab5 tudor figures. they have good paint jobs and are bigger than normal figs. you can tell a bigman team in a picture by the tackle player. he is positioned just a bit further on the stand, almost in the middle, as opposed to near the back of the stand. ALL the players have Hong Kong written under them.

Buzzball figs (forgot the nickname) - sold in all white or with prepainted skin tones. about $22 a bag for about 19 guys representing about 7 positions/different poses. these figures can be snapped off at the arms, some legs and the head. anything else can be easily cut as well for customization.

Buzzball Haiti Repro ($$ ???)- sold in all white, reproduction of the haiti figures in detail. same FAB5 poses. sturdy figure as well and popular with the good customizers out here.

FF.NET figs - (about $20 for a bag of about 22 figs representing MANY different positions/poses, including a left handed QB) Reg Rutledge brand of figs made of rubber type material i believe, as opposed to plastice from all the other figs above. also can be cut apart and rebuilt into your own Steve Austin at any position.

Jennings figure(s) $10 - running back pose that is just straight nice!
as far as i know (Jeff, help?) this is the only figure he has out right now, but some more poses are in the works right now.

Then you have many customizers who mass produce a pose that you can get.

i think this about covers it.
