Default See Eric Run

Coming Soon!

See Eric "The Great" run. Knowing all the ends and outs on creating custom poses, making them reach the 4.0 gram max, understanding center of gravity, and creating the athlete is one of the best things about the game.

Imagine calling Coach X in Florida and asking him, do you want to trade for a running back who looks pretty when he runs, has high stepping motion, and runs 100 yards in 9.3 seconds flat. Not only does he do this but he's difficult to tackle and he is physical.

This morning, around 3:30 am, I turned a player into an athlete. In a little while, I want you to see the concept of Player + Base = Athlete is all about.

Eric Dickerson was created by looking at a picture and within minutes, the generation of a great back was coming to life. With the right base and a little tweaking, Dickerson runs from one end of the field to the other in 3 seconds.

In another video, I will show how Dickerson is put in the backfield with my Dallas Cowboys and because of how he is created, I isolated him on a screen pass. This play will be shown on Footballfigures.com new section called "Playbook" - Coming soon!

Reg,

You made that figure look exactly like the real Eric Dickerson. You took me back to all of the times I had seen him play. I liked him the most when he was a Ram. Everything from his running style to the way his equipment looked on him was awesome.

Default Thanks Coach Maurice

I loved watching Eric. The colors are brilliant. Looking at Dickerson made me want to paint this team and I probably will. But the way he ran naturally (on the 308) was breathtaking.

See Ric Run. Just think, you can create these poses in less than 3 minutes!

That figure is so dead on with Dickerson- thats just AWSOME! I can't wait to see this figure in person. I want to see how you mounted the lead foot to the base (the toe is up) it just looks cool. Thanks for making the youtube, many of us get a kick out of watching your videos.

Default Beautiful!

That was simply BEAUTIFUL! THAT is EXACTLY how I remember him running. You nailed that one on the head, RR! It's one thing to "customize" a figure, but bringing it to "life" is another and THAT WAS ERIC DICKERSON in his prime!!! I think THAT'S what future contests should be graded on: Which figure/player/athlete BEST represents the real life player? They all look good, but do they epitomize the REAL guy's style, technique and finesse?

I would say this last contest you ran elevated customizing to a new level. When I made my pose, I had to put him on the board and run him a few times to "see" who he would be. Sure that pose could be any Coach's RB, but to me, THAT pose was Dennis Gentry. The way he returned kicks, punts, filled in for Sweetness, and even making tackles on Special Teams (that's why I didn't attach a ball). He is the 1st cog in my Project: MOM.
