EXCLUSIVE TROY AIKMAN FIGURE ANNOUNCEMENT AND PHOTOGRAPHY
McFarlane Toys to Attend August Hall of Fame Ceremonies in Canton, Ohio
McFarlane Toys returns to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this August during the enshrinements of legendary players Troy Aikman, Warren Moon, Reggie White, Harry Carson, Rayfield Wright and coach/broadcaster John Madden. This is our first trip back to the Hall of Fame since 2003, and offers us a great opportunity to meet some dedicated collectors while also introducing Sports Picks to thousands of football fans who could be seeing our product for the very first time. We'll be set up outside the Hall of Fame on August 4-6. As is our custom when we "hit the road," we'll be selling an exclusive figure at the event that won't be available anywhere else.
