Football fans anyone?

[cheeks-74]

Heya, gang. The news dropped, so I can finally share with ya some more stuff that I worked on.
Last year I had been working on Upperdeck's NFL quarterback football line,
and the figures are scheduled to hit the market at the end of this month, and the beginning of February.
I was super excited beyond belief when asked to be part of the making of.

I was really lucky one of the designs was of Brett Favre, and my pops is a HUGE Green Bay fan. He's got the cheese head gear and all! haha This'll be a nice birfday present to him.

Any way, I saw online that the news had dropped, and I wanted to give y'all a heads up if you wanted to scoop them up.

Here's the link to read on some info: http://sports.upperdeck.com/football/article.aspx?aid=1989

Your work looks great in vinyl, man. I'm surprised I didn't think about you trying out the 3rd dimension any sooner, it really fits well within the designer toy market. Hope these toys are a major success. Congrats!

Awesome work...but I think you'll find this is not football....more like rugby for wimps..lol

Hahaha ! When I read "football" I was thinking "soccer"... And what a surprise when I open the thread ! A good surprise, I mean. I had discover US football lately... And I like what I saw here. Nice job, Sean ! I like the design of it.
Best.

Outstanding as alway, Cheeks. These would compel me to be buy sports figs and I'm not a sports fan :)

[Haxxxor]

[Coinpurse]

Wah!!! Cheese head mania! Crazy stuff, incase you did not know I grew up in Green Bay Wisconsin. Brett Favre actually has his own resturant and the locals worship him. I know this might shock you, but I am not really into football. Considering that I grew up there, that is a sin. But. I do have to say that seeing your take on the figures is really dope dood. Dare I say, I would totally get one if I was into collecting figurings.

There is a good chance that the next time I am in Green Bay, someone will have this figure in their living room. And, of course, I will have a big smile on my face knowing it was your design that graces their home.

[bumskee]

Nice one cheeks! maybe it's just me but I did think FOOTBALL.. but rugby.. bah, looks great! :D

[n3gative]

wow...big sports fan here and these are mind blowing. Please tell me there's more on the way! The characters are perfectly stylized.

I would kill for a Tim Brown one

Great stuff bro!

Quick commentary: Are they going to make a Hasselbeck figure? On the art tip, I think you captured the likeness of Favre the best out of the 3. Brady needs his forever stubble facial hair and a slightly more tapered jaw line.. it's lookin' a bit too Launch Pad McQuack;) Other than that, you've once again brought great energy to mostly static poses. Last note, no more Navy.. I'm freeeee!;)
