Donnie Baseball action figure contest winners
Five spawn.com users score cool baseball exclusive
In early April, Todd held a signing at the Toys "R" Us Times Square store in Manhattan to celebrate the release of our 3-inch Don Mattingly exclusive Sports Picks figure. Although the event was a big success, we understand that not everyone could make it to New York City midweek. So we held back some figures to give away to dedicated spawn.com users. We kept aside five 3-inch Donnie Baseball figures and, as a bonus, had Todd sign them. We had a ton of entries and randomly selected five winners, each of whom scored a signed exclusive.
