January 11, 2005 - Tempe, Ariz. -- McFarlane Toys will be selling exclusive versions of two of the NBA's most dynamic players -- Carmelo Anthony and Latrell Sprewell -- on mcfarlane.com beginning Thursday, Feb. 17. We produced a limited supply of each exclusive figures and will sell them for $10 each plus shipping, with a limit of two of each figure per household.
The Anthony figure is our NBA All-Star Jam exclusive and features the forward in his Denver Nuggets Hardwood Classics jersey driving hard to the net. The Sprewell figure is a redecoration of the guard/forward representing his current team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and sculpted in mid-dunk pose. Each figure features a base and ball, and exclusive clamshell packaging.
Due to a change in plans, McFarlane Toys will not be attending this year's NBA All-Star Jam in conjunction with the NBA All-Star Game in Denver, CO, Feb. 17-21. Now, instead of traveling to Denver to get the event exclusive, collectors can purchase direct from us via the Collector's Club Store on McFarlane.com.
