McFarlane Toys will produce a Hines Ward figure based on his appearance in the upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises. He will be decked out in his Gotham City Knights uniform and a Dark Knight Rises base. Toyark sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has it for pre-order Here.
McFarlane Toys’ is excited to offer piece of the movie in true SportsPicks fashion. During The Dark Knight Rises trailer, fans were able to watch as Bane blew up a football field during a game between the fictional Gotham Rogues and the Rapid City Monuments. Several members of the Pittsburgh Steelers made a cameo appearance during this scene.
The main clip shows retired 2-time Super Bowl champion (Steelers) and last seasons Dancing with the Stars champion, Hines Ward returning a kick for the Rogues. The field begins to collapse behind him as he races for the end zone, engulfing both teammates and would-be tacklers. The scene ends with Ward celebrating before finally turning to see the carnage behind him. The Dark Knight Rises’ Hines Ward figure is depicted in a black and yellow Gotham Rogue jersey created by Under Armour ®, as seen in the film.

Just announced, McFarlane Toys will release a new figure: Hines Ward in a black and yellow Gotham Rogues jersey as seen in the film on a special The Dark Knight Rises base.
That'll be fun to find.
I never see McFarlane variants, and especially not Steelers variants at regular retail.
I would definitely pick it up if I saw it, though. I'm pumped Hines is in the movie!

You never know where stuff like that will lead...also it dates the movie bigtime- in a few years we'll look at that cameo and wince.
BBTS Preorder
I was thinking it would be one of their rare ones, which I never see either, but probably not if BBTS has it for $13. Worth the preorder just in case though.
Interesting. I have a buddy who's a huge Steelers fan. I wonder if he'd be interested in something like this, if only for the novelty of it.

I'll bury one in the back yard.
