2005's large-scale football figures in all their glory
McFarlane Toys will release its third series of 12-inch NFL figures this fall. In addition to giving some of the best active players in the league the "superstar" (i.e., large-scale) treatment, we'll also be offering two players from our NFL Legends debut series in 12-inch scale.

What's in stores, what's coming
Action figures on your store shelves � or hitting soon
Though the individual pieces can be complicated, our main goal here at McFarlane Toys is simple: put the coolest possible action figures on store shelves. That's it. Right now, today, there are several action figure series that were recently released to retail. Click on any series for more info before running out to your local toy emporium.

Let's get ready to rock
Slash action figure officially unveiled
One of rock 'n' roll's greatest guitarists will soon be performing his hits on your toy shelf. That's right, the long-awaited Slash action figure from McFarlane Toys is ready to be unveiled. One of the best-known, most-talented and easily recognizable artists in music, Slash is a human action figure just waiting to happen. McFarlane Toys was happy to come to the rescue and put our sculptors to work re-creating Slash in 6-inch form.
