About McFarlane Toys

McFarlane Toys sports action figures: detailed MLB and NFL Sportspicks figures of star players, new in the box and ready for your collection.

Brett Favre is the player this figure represents, shown in the uniform of the New York Jets. Favre built his legend as the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, where he started an NFL-record streak of consecutive games, won Super Bowl XXXI, and collected three straight league MVP awards in the 1990s with a gunslinger style that made him one of the most watched players in football. In the summer of 2008, in one of the most talked-about trades in league history, Green Bay traded him to the Jets, and this McFarlane release was made to mark that new start in New York. The seller’s listing notes his background from the original release material: six foot two, 222 pounds, born in Gulfport, Mississippi, a Southern Miss college career, and a 1991 draft selection by Atlanta before the trade that sent him to Green Bay. A Jets Favre figure is a short chapter in a long career, which is exactly why it interests collectors: most Favre memorabilia shows Green Bay colours, while this release freezes the single 2008 season when one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time wore Jets green.

McFarlane Toys applied the same formula to football that made its baseball figures famous. The SportsPicks NFL series sculpted players in game poses with the pads, helmets, jerseys and team colours of their real clubs, under official NFL licensing, at the six inch scale that became the series standard. Where a trading card gives a fan a flat photograph, a SportsPicks figure gives the player a physical presence, and the line covered the stars of the era position by position: quarterbacks mid-throw, running backs in the open field, receivers reaching for the ball. The figures were sold in the distinctive SportsPicks packaging that showed the player and carried his statistics and career notes, and many collectors kept those packages intact because the carded presentation became part of the item’s identity. For a quarterback release, the pose matters most of all, because the throwing stance is how fans picture the player, and McFarlane’s sculptors built their reputation on getting those stances, and the faces inside the helmets, recognisably right.

The 2008 Jets season that this figure commemorates was one of the strangest chapters in the team’s history. New York traded for Favre in August 2008, in a move that dominated the sports summer, sold a wave of number four Jets jerseys, and started brilliantly: the Jets reached eight wins and three losses and beat the previously undefeated Tennessee Titans on the road, with Favre playing at a Pro Bowl level. A shoulder injury then undermined the finish, the Jets missed the playoffs, and Favre retired, briefly, before returning with Minnesota. That arc is precisely why the Jets version of Favre is a collecting subject at all: it represents a single, heavily documented season in which the most famous quarterback of his generation wore the colours of a team he had no other connection to. McFarlane’s release was produced in that moment, before the season’s ending was known, and it carries the optimism of the trade rather than its aftermath. SportsPicks figures tied to one season events like this function as dated artefacts of the moment they were made, in a way a career retrospective figure does not.
