NFL LEGENDS 3 LINEUP ANNOUNCED
Our Most Popular Sports Line of the Year Arrives in July
Our NFL Legends lineup is our most popular Sports Picks line of the year - winner of the Action Figure Award for "Best Lineup" two years running. Collectors have filled the message board with requests, and begged Todd for hints in his "ToddCasts" every week. With this much anticipation, it'd be hard to live up to our collector's cumulative expectations - but the NFL Legends 3 lineup is up to the challenge. It features a pair of explosive running backs, two of the best quarterbacks of all time, our first NFL Legends sequel figure, and arguably the game's greatest defender - who remains an honored legend in two passionate NFL cities. Enough hoopla then! McFarlane Toys is proud to present NFL Legends Series 3.
