McFarlane Toys to Attend NHL All-Star Weekend in Atlanta, Jan. 26 & 27 Bringing Exclusive Marian Hossa Figure and Todd McFarlane
TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2008 -- McFarlane Toys is very excited to announce that we will be a sponsor of the 2008 NHL All-Star Game Trading Card and Memorabilia Show presented by Upper Deck and McFarlane Toys. This year's event will be in Atlanta at the CNN Center on Jan. 26-27, 2008. The show will be open Saturday from 8AM-7PM and Sunday from Noon-6PM.
The Marian Hossa figure is our second NHL Event exclusive, as last year's Mike Modano figure debuted during All Star Weekend in Dallas, Texas. The Modano figure surpassed everyone's expectations, selling out early into the second day. Fans and collectors are encouraged to arrive early as no limits will be set on the amount of figures available for purchase. We'll be bringing a limited production run of 3,000 figures to the show and selling them for $15. We will be accepting CASH ONLY.
Todd McFarlane will be signing autographs in the Atrium of the CNN Center on Saturday from 2-5PM and Sunday from 2-5PM. Fans are also likely to catch Todd at the McFarlane Toys booth throughout the weekend.
The show will be free to attend and will also feature the most cherished prize in team sports -- the Stanley Cup.
Hossa was the payoff in the biggest trade in the Thrashers' young history, arriving from Ottawa in 2005 with high expectations. The Slovakian star did not disappoint, delivering 192 points in his first two seasons in Atlanta and delivering the Thrashers' first-ever division title in 2007.
