M GO Farland figures...
just wanted to share my winter's work and fun...took off on a topic long ago converting McFarland figures into Michigan MEN...because well...they are better than the original figures. Started with the Denard under the lights version and just took off from there. Added a few of the guys from my era, and a particular personal favorite in Garland Rivers who hit like a truck until an agent agreement derailed his career...plus I wore the same number in HS and thought highly of him as a result...enjoy.
They look great. You must be a very patient man.
Absolutely love the AC and Desmond. These look 1000x better than the average McFarlane figure, kudos!
a customized one? Obviously for a good amount of cash, but I would love one of Mike Hart.
I thought this was the thrilling return of McFarland the poster. Darn.
Very nice work however.
Me too, though I believe that was McFarlin.
Who is this guy McFarlin everyone keeps talking about?

The biggest assclown in the history of MGoBlog deserves his own section. If your thread is listed here and you're not McFarlin, only you know it for sure, because holy cow, you sure do a great McFarlin impression.

McFarlin is an Mgoblog legend, not a comic book guy. He was great for flaming out and creating another account. Then repeat process.

That they're not the same guy?
Todd is known to be kind of an asshat too.
I've never seen them in the same room at the same time.
Those are pretty awesome. I bet they look great in person. Are you trying to do the current teams or all time players more ?
I have a buddy that does the same thing. He'll use Pepsi bottles for visors and he has other random things to make things look cool.
Ahh those plain white jerseys look so much nicer than neon.
Much respect
Wow - those are impressive. So you painted over the orininal figures to make them into Michigan athletes? Who lies under the paint on each of these? Curious to know what other athlete was sold in the position of Desmond's "The Catch", and AC's leaper.
the denard figures were originally Larry Fitzgerald pieces with the dread locks hair.
Harbaugh was Matt Ryan from BC, Garland Rivers was a Ronnie Lott figure with the older style jersey and defensive position, AC was a Chad Ochocinco figure all extended, and the desmond figure was originally Andre Johnson from the Texans...painted then clearcoated and applied some decals I printed with a specialized printer ALPS that can print white and nearly any other combination you can produce. I work for a number of NASCAR teams producing models of the cars they race and just jumped into a different direction when I saw a post long ago on this very board about a Denard Robinson edition that was photoshop work..it was so spectacular...it gave me an idea and here we are.
Those are amazing. GREAT work! Let me know if you can ever mass manufacture!
...or limited edition-facture.
appreciate all the kind compliments, as to mass or mini production, I just worry about what the NCAA/UM would have to say about missing out on their cut of the profits...just made a handful for me with a few more on the planning sheet including Leach, Woodson and the famed one haded INT...probably a few others along the way.
