Mcfarlane NFL to make Cam Newton figure


Recommended Posts

You all collect action figures?

Only when they make a Panthers figure, and I don't display them. Just like you said, I collect them. They aren't on display at my home, and my condo doesn't have a man room. I don't collect cards or star wars figures, but Mcfarlane's football figures are pretty cool. So I guess that this is my 'star trek'. Like my girl says, it's sports we're talking about here. So while you're probably more manly than me with your posters of Andy Roddick's wife.... what can I say? I like football that much.

Most of the figures have an alternate jersey, Jake had white with black as the variant, Peppers had the black with the white as the variant, and Smitty has the white with the blue as the variant. There isnt a fig I know of that doesnt have a chase variant available... I still havent decided to go get the Weinke or the S.Davis Panthers variant...

I guess you can all them 'action figures' Zod. I like having them decorating the room with my Panther Fathead and the rest of what I got. Its not like I reenact games with the figs, theyre just for show...

Thats cool that we get another McFarlane, I thought they'd have done a D.Will by now, guess Ima have to get another custom...

You're refferring to figures that have a chase variant. This Newton figure is already a collector level figure. There's really no reason to make it in the alternate jersey since we don't really wear it that often. It should be made in the jerseys that we wear all the time since this might be Newton's only figure. So I'm trying to get folks here to voice that to Mcfarlane company while the figure is in production so he'll listen to us and make us a good newton figure. I think it's going to be worth a lot

People probably made fun of those guys decades ago who collected the first Star Wars toys. You know, the ones that sell for THOUSANDS now. Same with Marvel/DC action figures from back in the day, comic books, etc.

I don't really collect any of those things but I'm not hatin.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
