Question Question about figures

Coaches,

Perhaps you can help me with this one. Roughly how many manufacturers of EF figures are out there? I know that there are figs from Miggle, BuzzBall, and FF.net. I've heard that there are figs from Dewayne Jennings (I think I've seen 1 or 2 finished products) and ITZ (which I thought I remembered reading that they are the Proline figs). Are there any others? Please help to clear up some of the confusion.

Thanks,

DC

Are these guys manufacturers or customizers of existing products?

Both as far as I know. All you have to do is give them a picture and they can make it for you !

I'm familiar with homeboys Damon and Shawn. Hope to do business with them one day. I don't think they'd be considered manufacturers though. From what I've heard and read I think Jennings is a manufacturer/distributor of figures.

I saw the custom figures by Dwayne Jennings first hand a few weeks ago at the Seawall Brawl and was very impressed. Damon Lucas aka FORU2HATE customized a number of figures for me for the Seawall Brawl and again I was very pleased. I also have and used FF.Com custom figures at the Seawall Brawl as well and was pleased how they performed. I have also seen the FF.com custom boards and ran my figures on them and like how they run. Bruce Watts aka Megawattz customized and painted six figures for me and I am waiting to receive them in the mail. However, I have seen his scale size boards first hand and also played on them. The boards are impressive. I might be wrong but with the exception of Reg I think the other three are only customizers and not manufacturers. Still if you are in the market for custom figures then I would recommend Reginald Rutledge, Dwayne Jennings and Damon Lucas because I have seen there work. Also I have used the figures by Reg and Damon and liked how they worked. By the way the VIOLENT RUNNER Left & Right by Reg might be one of the best kept secrets in MF. As for Bruce Watts I will let you know about his custom figures when I receive mine in the mail. He did show his custom figures on a post back in late March so you might want to go back and check out the photos. Sorry for the lengthy answer but I hope this helps.

513 is a manufacturer.
Coach J , did you see the Rickey Bell and Chuck Foreman that Dewayne had ?

Default Well, well, well...

...my friend. With today's announcement it looks like you've entered the fray. Good luck with your venture.

So the list of manufacturers are (and correct me if I'm wrong or leave someone out):

Miggle, BB, FF.Net, Excaliber, Jennings, and 5-13 Studios. Anyone else?

I might be wrong but I think you got them all. One thing for sure and that is I was pretty much a traditionalist as far as figures are concerned but that all changed this year. I am a custom figures guy from here on out. Now I will keep the traditional figures just for display but when it comes to league or tournament play the Colts will be in custom figures.

To answer your question Jeff I believe I remember seeing the Chuck Foreman figure but I don't remember Ricky Bell. The figure I remember best is Terry Bradshaw.
