I respect that opinion but my take is that the more manufacturers the better. And if we address those manufacturers in a unified manner then everyone can win. If Excalibur's products don't excite us then let's tell them why in a UNIFIED manner. Let's approach it as a partnership as oppose to us against them. We can easily say "Listen Mr. Miggle, Excalibur, ACME Inc, etc., we like these particular products of yours but product A can be improved. Here are some recommendations from our membership...." Give them a chance. Heck, Miggle is responding to our dislike of the Proline bases made in China. I think that had something to do with them moving the equipment back to the U.S.A. They are working with several coaches in trying to get the formula for those bases just right. Excalibur probably have no idea that tweaking a base is a big part of this hobby and that's why they should improve them.

Or...the association can try it's hand at manufacturing these products.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Again its just and opinion, but for as long as the fab five has been out there, I would have expected something more than just subtle variations of what was there already. And why shouldn't we the consumer, expect more?

I think we can and should.

For years now coaches in this hobby have been creating their own figures or customizing commercial figures, and the results have been awesome. I just got some ITZ figures this weekend from way back, detailed, balanced, performers, AWESOME. I woud be willing to bet that if you took ANY of their figures painted and compaired it to an excalibur figure the average football fan would favor the ITZ firure hands down. And they have been around for years. ITZ, George Diamnond, Reginald Rutledge, Dwayne Jennings,(and now Chris Fields) and others all have produced HIGH QUALITY products that have stood the test of time. I believe they were successful because they ARE COACHES and artist, creators who actually play the game.

I believe that in the future the MFCA could procuce a Miniature football game that will have higher quality, bigger and more realistic than what has been mass produced to this point.

I don't disagree with your point on the guys you've mentioned. I've done business with some and will continue to do so. But I think we can also take advantage of the big guys as well. I believe there is room for all of them.

Why can't we buy a MF set and get teams that look this good?
