NFL Players: Tony Romo

Purchased in 2008 at Toys 'R' Us.

Now granted, he isn't having the best season of his career. I think that will be last season when he broke Troy Aikman's old records for passing, touchdowns, etc. But he is a big deal right now in Dallas so I kept a lookout for him. What I really detest about this town is that we never stock our own. There was a figure of Stars' goalie Marty Turco that I saw once in Target...and never again. So I had to get this one. Who knows when he would ever turn up again?

"Sa-Wing Battah Battah!"

Kenner introduced these guys back in...ohh, let's say the 80's...and kids just bought 'em up. Little did they know that after you got them home and opened them, they just kind of stood there. Hmm. Wow. Anyhoo...I bought eight of them and I'm kind of glad I did. They symbolize the kid in me that enjoys collectable things...which accounts for about 50% ha ha. Let's meet the starting lineup:

Catfish Hunter


Greg Maddux




Jim Palmer


Tom Seaver


Reggie Jackson


Mark McGwire


Ted Williams


Will I buy more? I doubt it. First of all, they don't make them this size anymore (I think). Someone makes bigger ones (MacFarlane I think) but of course no one anyone would be interested in. Bobby Abreu? Come on. Mark Mulder? Please. But I like these here.
