With another season of baseball about to start I thought it was appropriate to showcase a baseball themed toy. I came upon Playmakers MLB toys one day when I was in a toy store looking for anything interesting. This toy instantly caught my attention because I love baseball. When I was a kid I used to collect baseball cards, and I know if these toys were around back then I would also have collected them. Playmakers are made by McFarlane Toys, a company that has been making sports figure toys for years. This time around, McFarlane Toys offers MLB players in a 4inch scale. For the first series some of baseball’s current fan favourites were included such as Ryan Howard, Alex Rodriguez, Josh Beckett, and many more. Most players come in two versions, either batting or fielding; though pitchers and David Ortiz only come in one version. Each sports figure is highly poseable because they have over 20 moving parts. The version I have is of Derek Jeter in a white pinstripe Yankees uniform. The quality of these toys is really impressive when compared to the price they cost (Canadian retail $9.99 plus tax), and the size they come in. These toys are a great collectable and will be fantastic to have around once the new MLB season begins.
