McFarlane Action Figures, a division of Todd McFarlane Productions, Inc, is a company started by Todd McFarlane that makes very much meticulous forms of characters from pictures, comics, musicians, Nintendo games, and sport figures. Set up in 1994, the corporation was at first dubbed "Todd Toys," but the name was changed in 1995 following pressure from Mattel ( who feared the new-fangled company's name would be confused with that of Barbie's younger brother ).

Intense concern for detail is the most essential element in McFarlane Action Figures. Nevertheless, it is nearly always at the expense of articulation, making them more similar to semi-poseable statues than action figures. Nevertheless, the line proves favored particularly among teens, and is arguably the most commercially lucrative toy line currently. It in addition has influenced lots of other toy lines to try to imitate McFarlane Toys' style.

I was actually anticipating getting this action figure of Lou Gehrig, not simply because I collect all McFarlane's Big Apple Yankees figures but because I'm a rhetorician and could show this one to my scholars in pointless criticism as the 1st action figure of a public spokesman. That's because Gehrig is outlined giving his famous speech on July four, 1939, when they held "Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day" at Yankee Stadium, and announced : "Fans, for the previous two weeks you've been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth" ( Note : the famous line comes at the start of his speech and not at the end, as outlined in "The Pride of the Yankees" ). The excellent news is this figure looks great.

Manifestly the pose of Gehrig standing before a microphone with his head bowed, recieving the thunderous applause from the Yankee Stadium crowd, is the most unusual McFarlane has produced of the tons of baseball figures provided to date.

The sculpture of Gehrig's face is pretty good, though often I perceive a touch of Gary Cooper and even Ronald Reagan when I look at it. The pinstripping is also excelelnt.

The patch on Gehrig's left sleeve is for the 1939 Baseball Centennial, the 1st patch to be worn on the sleeve of all big league uniforms ( 1939 was also the year that baseball's Hall-Of-Fame opened in Cooperstown, Big Apple ). There's some slight pliability with the 2 lower arms, but not enough to seriously change the important pose. You might not ask for more for the 1st public talking action figure. The Matrix Series one by McFarlane is simply one of his best works, and ultimately anfter weeks of waiting the Neo in Castle Box Set comes out. Judgeing from the contents you might imagine the weapons or break apart statue may not last long, but I guarantee you these are Awfully sturdy. I adore how they caught Neo in mid-air and the competitor falling back but still in the air too. This is however not ment so much as a play toy but as eye candy ( as many McFarlane fans would know ). Though due to its sturdiness it can take a little wear but not so much.

I have 2 of these, one MIB and one out on view. If you're keen on the Matrix, McFarlane, or both and wish to add on or continue your collection buy this NOW!!! You will not be dissapointed I purchased this set and I gotta tell you, this is an amazing set!! Just by having a look at it, it might appear to be a set that would cost anywhere from $30-$50, but guess what, IT ISN'T!!! Though the way they're positioned, it is not a "play" toy, but the sort of an eye-candy toy that you would put on show.

It's so detalied, that it just about appears like a model for the picture itself!!! The weapons are beautifully detailed, and Neo's action figure is amazing! I like how that caught Neo kicking in mid-air and the other figure is flying backwards!!! It's great!!! If you're keen on the Matrix, McFarlane toys, or perhaps just great action figures, you actually, Truly gotta pick up this set!!!! It won't disappoint!!! This is one heck of a sculpt and painting. And it is a robust, heavy piece : simply holding an Select or other enemy up for an action pose. There's a large amount of articulation overall - including the "toes" and end of the fuel rod gun. Even the packaging is reasonably beautiful and display deserving.

Two smaller minuses - though there's plenty of articulation, it's still at roughly the same level as the other figures in the series.

My first impulse was to set it up in the "defensive crouch" position, but this just did not seem possible. And the ( removable for a Scorpion-blasted look ) back spikes were literally a pain to put in. Use caution. These are very tiny reversals with the quality to mind, though . If you like Hunters, or wish to have a kingpin piece to set off your collection, this figure is simply worth the few extra USD. In perfect scale and on the cash. The Hunter is a strong toy, and the moving parts are great. You can't pose it in its most typical in-game pose, but it stands up well in masses of different poses, although it is rather top heavy. The reason being because the feet are quite large. The level of detail is amazing! Particularly extraordinary considering it has moving parts. Some of the moving parts are pricks on its back, and the forks round the fuel rod gun on its right arm. I made a neat stop motion animation with it, and I did not have any difficulty positioning it the way I wanted too. It is much larger than the other action figures. I might purchase it again, and I may.

The set, which originally commenced with action figures based upon Todd McFarlane's Spawn comic series, has since matured to have a massive amount of licensed property lines as well as The Simpsons and "Movie Maniacs", as well as other characters and lines like Basketball and Baseball legends, Playstation game characters, and Where the Wild Things Are characters. The toy line has finished creative works of their own, giving a grotesque twist to fairy tale stories, The amazing magician of Oz, and historical figures. They have also cooperated with folk like Clive Barker and H.R. Giger to produce other novel figures.
