3-PACKS HONOR SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS LEGENDS
A Trio of Hall-of-Famers Arrives in November
McFarlane Toys has the nostalgia working, taking you pack nearly 20 years, when San Francisco was the capitol of the NFL universe. The 49ers ruled football with a deadly "West Coast" offense and an opportunistic defense that delivered title after title.

They won three championships as teammates, and their dynasty left a lasting impression on a generation of football fans.
