Default See reggie figs.

He has those poses or the ability to make them.The bengals look is a stock one I believe.you might want to come up with some unique poses that only you have.When I said set goals high,if you do not exactly get there at least you will be better than if you set low goals.I understand you may not get rich,but if you set low goals I can tell you the results of how that goes.think outside the box and seperate yourself fron the crowd.When Miggle came out with those new figs,they did not seperate their figs at all from the competition and they are similar to reg figs in their look IMO.I think reg figs are great due to their different poses and ease of creating customs.There are other areas that you can come up with new products and innovations also.Just a thought.See you at the top--ZZ STT

Whatever you do, make them balanced, good preformers and within current weight and size limits. DO NOT go bigger. The headaches that would create are too numerous to mention!

Default Good Luck

you are taking on a great endevor and I salute you

I have some customs that would meet some of your guidelines that have been "duped" over the years as a "need to have" figure.

I love your conceots on different sized figures based on positions, but you know WE will use them as we see fit.

Like others have said, make them balanced and we will get them.

Anything I can do to help, let me know........

Default assurances

My new figures will be both balanced and within weight limits. I'm not looking to start a new class of EFL players, just looking for a lot more realism and the sculptor I have contracted with does just that. I think everyone will be happy with the final products. Being a painter myself, I know the figures have to be able to paint up well. I have done a lot of homework on this and think with the added input I will have some awesome figures.

The first figures will be OL and DL and they will be scaled bigger than the rest of the players.

Keep the input coming.

Mike

I was a miniature war gamer before getting back into MF. You might want to check out some of the local hobby shops and see how detailed the figures can be. I, for one, would love to see great detail. But, not at the expence of performance. Being able to customize the figures is also important to me, so some peicing is good.
Good luck and can't wait to see what you can do.

Good luck with your venture. As was said earlier you make 'em we'll buy 'em. I now only use custom figures. Currently I have some custom DL in a three point stance, a nose tackle in a four point stance, and a center in a hiking stance. I am VERY pleased with all of them. It would great to have some OL in a three point stance.

Have a good day and again good luck with your venture.

There is a split between those who want O-Lineman pre-snap, and those who want them post-snap. O-Lineman are consistently the most sought after figures. Your paintings are brilliant, your ideas are too. I applaud you on this venture and am eager to see the finished product. To second, third, fourth, and fifth what everyone has said so far;

Make Them And We Will Buy Them,

(we're downright hooked!)

Default Definately without facemask

I would first of all like to say I am behind you all the way in what you are doing. I love all the feedback and all I really wanted to say is don't add the facemask. For one, if I want a realistic player I'm doing I would like to put on the facemask he wore and not have to shave off the molded one. It is soo much easier to put the one on that i want. Good luck and please keep on doing what you are out to do. I absolutely love it, and I will be like Nat in that i will be a buying customer. I'll support you all the way.
