McFarlane Toys is proud to announce two major developments regarding the always popular "chase figures" in our Sports Picks lineups. "Chase figures" are products that are intentionally different than most of the production run. They are produced on a limited basis and inserted into sealed Sports Picks cases. These chase figures are highly sought after by collectors and generally carry some additional value on the secondary market. This fall, we integrated the chase program into full lineups, while limiting the variance between a normal and a chase figure. We felt that having more chase figures available would be beneficial to the collector.
As it turned out, these subtle chases were received poorly by our established collector base, who felt the variance between the regular and the chase figure wasn't great enough to spark their interest. In response to the collector requests, Todd has decided to re-integrate classic "chase figures" (alternate jerseys, retro looks etc.) into Sports Picks lineups, starting next March with the MLB 2009 Wave 1 lineup.
In addition to the return of the classic "chase figure" we are offering our own "golden ticket" in the Cooperstown 2009 lineup. This series includes our second Babe Ruth figure, showcased pitching for both the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Ruth's Yankees figure is portrayed in the 1920 uniform - when the Yankees wore a white cap with blue pinstripes. Five of these Yankee versions of Babe Ruth are receiving an alternate paint job - with the hat painted dark blue with a white NY logo - what's generally considered the Yankees' "normal" hat. Two of these figures will go into our permanent archive, but three will be randomly inserted into sealed cases of Cooperstown 2009.
These figures will be recognizable not only by the blue hat, but the back of each package will be sealed with our McFarlane blue logo safety tape - usually found on our sealed Sports Picks cases. Prior to this, the rarest Sports Picks figure was a Teemu Selanne Winnipeg Jets figure from the NHL 6 lineup. Most of the Jets Selanne figures had his traditional number eight on his jersey, but 13 of them featured the numeral 13 - the number he wore during his record-setting rookie season. The last #13 Selanne that sold online fetched $8,500 dollars!

베이브 루스 5개 한정 피규어가 나오는군요.....
요약을 하자면.....
제일 찾기 힘든 피규어는 하키의 티뮤 셀라니 의 13개 한정 피규어랍니다. (등번호가 8번이지만 루키 시즌때 번호인 13번을 단 피규어가 전세계적으로 13개 밖에 없답니다. 제일 마지막 물건이 8500 달러에 팔렸다고 하네여...)
이젠 그것을 뛰어넘는 5개 한정 베이브 루스가 나온답니다.
원래 피규어는 하얀 모자에 파랑 스프라이프인데...
5개 한정은 파란 모자로 나옵니다.
2개는 뭐 어디 지네들이 보관하고 딱 3개만 랜덤으로 들어 간답니다.
5개 한정이긴 하지만...결국엔 3개한정판이네여......
나오면 천만원은 일딴 기본으로 넘어갈꺼 같네여..헐~ ^^;;
