Proline figures ?

On a sculpture/position point of view, Some figs are well balanced and great looking (the #64 is great, I want to make Vernon davis with that, what do you thing about it ? ) , other are not so great (#84 "zombie", #25 "big head" ), but in an overall vision, they looks cool, and very playable and customizable. AND CHEAP.


What I see it's the cool price for them. I'm not afraid to customize (or even almost rebuild the figs, see my niners linemen work in progress)

I'll make an order soon in Miggle store. So if I can combine shipping, it 's OK for me. Remember I'm in Europe, so if I order things here, here and there, the price will increase a lot, what I can 't afford these days. It's why I'm trying to make my list of christmas shopping in Miggle store to complete the "core" of my MF hobbyist material. And because I want to support that historical pillar of electric football (even if I respect other companies in the hobby, I've got great buzzball and ff.net products too).


The last question is about the figures scale. Since I 'll play a lot of FF.net figures, which are quite big, what is the size of Miggle proline ones compared to FF.net ones ?



Thank you again,

EDIT : and thanks you for the pics too, "dallcow4life28", I can see we can achieve something with that figs

Dimitri,

That used to be how receivers lined up. Straight up, hands down. The slightest movement in the 70's to late 80's by a wide receiver caused a penalty. It is actually accurate for the position even if it wasn't designed for it.

Price wise, you can't beat the prolines, or any Miggle product. They are not as flexible as FF.com but they will meet any weight specifications, in any league in the United States. Their weight is similar to Buzzball Figures.

Historically speaking, FF figures were introduced with a disclaimer that they were for design, not play. They caught on and people started using them. In my league, currently the Great Lakes, we used to have a 3.2 gram weight limit. I found no problem with the Miggle, Haiti Repros, Buzzball, or prolines. However, with the FF.com I had to cut the platform, then glue the man to a thin sheet of plastic. Others had to cut the man then hollow them out and glue them back together. Whew! I built a great Eagles team but just changing out bases was like working a job.

If you are in to creating Lifelike poses and things, then I am told that FF.com is easiest for the entry level customizers.

The best customs I have seen came from a guy named Chris Robertson. I think he used Haiti Repros and Buzzball but others may be able to help you there.

Purchase some lead golfing tape, set a weight limit, about 4.0, and go from there. You definitely need a scale more than anything to properly assess your team.

Vernon Davis would be excellent on that figure however the concern is will he get open? He'll surely look good!

#25 is a Buzzball Cover Corner. For some reason a good physical Defensive Back does have a small body and a big head!

Hope this helps
