What is McFarlane?
McFarlane Toys is an American toy company founded by Todd McFarlane, best known for its line of detailed action figures. In recent years, the company has also made licensed figurines for properties such as The Walking Dead, Halo, Avatar: The Last Airbender and NFL players. The company is currently divided into two branches; McFarlane Toys, which produces collector items, and McFarlane Sports Picks, which produces sports figurines.
What happened to McFarlane?
In recent years, McFarlane Toys has lost the NFL license to produce figures. The company had held the license since 2006, but in early 2018, it was announced that Jakks Pacific had won the bid to produce NFL figures. This was a major loss for McFarlane, as NFL figures had been some of their best-selling products.
So what happened? Why did McFarlane lose the NFL license?
There are a few possible reasons. First, Jakks Pacific is a much larger company than McFarlane Toys, so they may have been able to offer a higher price for the license. Second, Jakks Pacific already has a strong relationship with the NFL, as they produce other licensed products such as footballs and dolls.
Whatever the reason, McFarlane Toys is no longer able to produce NFL figures. This is disappointing news for fans of the company, but hopefully, they will be able to rebound with other licenses in the future.
Where can I find McFarlane NFL figures?
As of May 2020, it does not appear that McFarlane Toys is producing any new NFL figures. The company’s website shows a number of retired figure lines, including NFL Sports Picks, which was last produced in 2018. It is possible to find older McFarlane NFL figures for sale online from third-party retailers, although selections and prices may vary.
Conclusion
Yes, McFarlane still makes NFL figures. In addition to the standard McFarlane NFL line, they also produce a line of “Legends” figures. The Legends line features retired players, while the regular line features current players.
