WITH THE FIRST PICK, MCFARLANE TOYS SELECTS CAM NEWTON

Carolina Panthers’ draft pick gets the SportsPicks treatment in NFL 28

May 06, 2011

Copyright 2011 TMP International, Inc.

Following the NFL Draft, Todd McFarlane had a decision to make. A Collector Level slot in NFL 28 was being reserved for a Draft Pick figure, and it was up to Todd to decide which new pro was going to get drafted into OUR league. In the end, Todd agreed with the Carolina Panthers – who drafted Auburn quarterback Cam Newton with the first overall pick.

Newton put together an awe-inspiring run through the last college football season. Newton complete 66% of his passes for 2, 854 yards and 30 touchdowns, while also rushing for 1,473 yards and 20 more scores on the ground. He earned the Heisman Trophy as college football’s best player, and led the Tigers to a thrilling 22-19 win over the Oregon Ducks for the National Championship.

Newton will make his SportsPicks debut as part of NFL 28, set to arrive in stores in the middle of September. He’ll be wearing Carolina’s teal jersey, and will be available as a Bronze Collector Level figure. With only 3,000 individually-numbered figures heading out to retail, fans will be lining up to draft Newton into their own SportsPicks collection. Stay tuned to Spawn.com in the coming weeks to see prototype pictures of the figure.

This is awesome news. cannot wait to get my hands on one of these

Only problem is they're going to make Cam in that horrid blue home jersey and not the black.

Write Mcfarlane company a quick note Here: http://www.spawn.com/info/contact.aspx, and tell them you think Cam should be made in the black home uniform--the best uniform in football

yeah, why would they do the blue? Black is the way to go, or the white. But as little as blue is used it seems kind of weird. Do other figures get the alternate uni?

Nope. This is one of the only ones. Kind of ruins the figure. That's why if enough of us just write them a short note, I think they'll definitely change it before his figure goes into production.

Most of the figures have an alternate jersey, Jake had white with black as the variant, Peppers had the black with the white as the variant, and Smitty has the white with the blue as the variant. There isnt a fig I know of that doesnt have a chase variant available... I still havent decided to go get the Weinke or the S.Davis Panthers variant...

I guess you can all them 'action figures' Zod. I like having them decorating the room with my Panther Fathead and the rest of what I got. Its not like I reenact games with the figs, theyre just for show...

Thats cool that we get another McFarlane, I thought they'd have done a D.Will by now, guess Ima have to get another custom...

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
