Canadian crafter Todd mcfarlene from Mcfarlenetoys is rumored to create a brand of soccer models which is good because he makes some realistic features and impressive looks. www.mcfarlenetoys.com Here is another german website but also looks visual stunning www.3D-stars.com
I have one of those smal Figo ones with the larger head, wearing white real madrid jersey with Figo 10 on the back.
jokes on 3d-stars Terry looks more like Del Horno, Kaka looks like Crespo, the only decent one is Adriano. btw the creators must be dutch with all those crappy players and no Portuguese or La Liga players. Borrusia dortmund? Rangers? Feyenoord? HSV!? who cares!
lol I saw a Joao Pinto one on the internet, I dont think it was 3d stars but I thought it was funny he was wearing the home portugal jersey and he had his trademark tape on his nose, thats classic I want one now.
there are miniatures from Corinthians I think which includes some oldies of Portuguese players. There's one of Figo from the mid 1990s w/ a Portugal NT kit that if you find it you can expect to pay over US $100 for it I have a F. Couto with a NT kit, 2 Rui Costa, S. Conceicao, Jardel w/ Porto and Ronaldo with Barcelona. This year a couple of Portuguese newspapers (24 Horas and O Jogo I think) were selling figurines of the Big 3 on a daily basis with the newspaper. I actually have contacted the company in charge of this promotion to try to buy a whole bunch of these sets to sell here in the U.S.
Yes, I know that O Jogo is currently running this promotion. If anyone in Portugal buys O Jogo and wants to help a mod out by hooking him up with a Sá Pinto and Moutinho figurine (of which you would be duly reimbursed for all costs), I would be most appreciative
Now why would ANYONE want a sa pinto or moutinho figurine?! Wait...I know...if they wore a red jersey with one of those eagles on it, people would bend over backwards to find those things.
LOL, too bad I'm not in Portugal as I thought I would be last week, otherwise I would be making some serious rounds at various shops.
looks like I'll be able to get the same figurines that were offered in Portugal by O Jogo and some other newspaper. I will be offering the complete sets (Benfica, Porto and Sporting), none of that picking whatever players you want... BTW: mods, this thread is soccer related, why is it on NSR?
Not sure if anyone has seen it, but I have the Ronaldo figure. It's not made by Mcfarlane, but I'm pretty sure it's the same company that puts them together. They made a line of Man United and Juventus figures. I bought the Ronaldo and Ruud -- wanted Giggs but it looked nothing like him.
I bought them in a store up here in Canada called, Celebrities. They sell all sports/movie collectibles and memorabilia. I did see the figures at a few different places that sell similar products (ie - Men are from Mars). I must warn however, since I bought these, I went back to get another Ronaldo for a friend, and he was the only figure that was sold out. This company made a Man United (4 figures) and Juventus (5 or 6 figures) line and Ronaldo was the only one the stores were sold out of. If you can't find them in your area, your next best bet would be ebay. I've seen a few on there.

Also there will be a Deco figure released by a company called FT Champs ... part of the line will also include Ronaldinho and Zidane and Beckham from Real ... I must find these ... www.ftchamps.com
These are by far the best in terms of realism. I have Maradona at home and he's friggin sweeeet! www.fanatico.net
Three places in GTA you should be able to find the FT champs figures at: 1 -- Celebrities booth @ Eaton Centre 2 -- Celebrities store @ Vaughan Mills 3 -- Silver Snail store on Queen St. I just recently picked up the Deco (Barcelona), Beckham (Madrid), Ronaldinho (Barcelona) and Zidane (Madrid) to add to my United players.
Fanatico's figurines (World Cup legends and Italian national team) are available at Sunrise Records (Ontario) and Evangelista Sports (Montreal)
