McFarlane Reveales NFL Beanie Wells Exclusive

Beanie-Wells-Arizona-Cardinals-01

McFarlane Toys has revealed a new NFL Arizona Cardinals Chris “Beanie” Wells figure. The figure will be exclusive to McFarlane’s Toy Stores.

McFarlane Toys is proud to present our exclusive Beanie Wells SportsPicks action figure! It’s the SportsPicks debut for the Arizona Cardinals’ running back, and it will be available this weekend at our McFarlane store in the Westgate City Center for $14.99, then releasing nationally through our online store on Monday, October 7th for $11.99 (plus shipping).

Chris “Beanie” Wells earned his nickname from an older brother who claimed little Chris was “skinny like a bean pole.” The nickname stuck, even as the little brother filled out – first turning heads as the dominant running force for Akron’s Garfield High School, averaging 9.76 yards-per-carry and scoring 69 rushing touchdowns while piling up 5,546 rushing yards. He graduated in 2005 as a Parade All-American, and immediately committed to The Ohio State University, fulfilling a childhood dream. As a Buckeye, Wells tormented archrival Michigan with a 52-yard touchdown romp as a freshman, and a 222-yard rushing effort as a sophomore. Wells averaged 5.78 yards-per-carry in college, collecting 3,382 rushing yards and scoring 30 touchdowns. Following his junior year, Wells entered the NFL Draft and was selected #31st overall by the Arizona Cardinals.

As the Cardinals offense begins to redefine itself, there’s no doubt that Beanie Wells will be a huge part of the redbirds attack this year and into the future.

McFarlane Reveals Mark Sanchez NFL Figure

NFL-NY-Jets-Mark-Sanchez-001

McFarlane Toys has revealed another new exclusive NFL figure. This time it’s New York Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez. The figure will be exclusive to Sports Images.

Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is available in New York’s all-green uniform as an exclusive figure for Sports Images this fall. You can learn more about Sports Images and where to find this figure at www.spimages.com.

The Jets wore their all-green uniforms for the first time in 2009 on November 29th, for a home game against the Carolina Panthers. New York had dropped three straight games and badly needed a victory at home. Sanchez guided the offense meticulously, and even returned from an apparent knee injury after a late hit out-of-bounds. Carolina held the top-rated Jets’ running game to 139 yards but the New York defense proved the difference, intercepting four passes en route to a crucial 17-6 victory.
