8" Joe Namath

[wise guy]

Most sports fans I know are team fans such as Raiders,Vikings etc. Joe is a figure in football
history but his time is long ago and is now remembered for being heavily intoxicated, and
hitting on female sportscasters.Without a true Jets uniform he will not sell good outside
mego museum fan boys( in my opinion.Why is Mego not doing modern figures that fans
recognize like Tom Brady.Mego should leave sports figures to McFarlane who understands
sports collectors.Who's next O.J Simpson ?

[EMCE Hammer]

Not only will I buy him in his Jets uniform, I am lobbying Marty hard for a Rams uniform variant and a Pat Haden two pack. I can't speak for the youngsters, but I can name four Patriots QBs I'd buy before Brady.

Grogan, Eason, Bledsoe and... ?

Parilli and Plunkett, well that makes 5 then

Flutie! I forgot about Plunkett - make it 6!

[thunderbolt]

I forgot about Flutie. He played for Da Bears too. MMMM Flutie Flakes

[TrekStar]

Plunkett was very good, but unfortunately those Patriots teams back then had minimal talent, he went to the Raiders and finally won a Super Bowl with them.

I loved Bledsoe one tough SOB, took a cheap hit by (of course) a Jets player, and continued to play with a bleeding internal chest injury, finally he had to sit and Brady was his back up.

Eason was good but not great, and Grogan sort of had the same problem Plunkett had, but fortunately he was able to
get to the Pats first super bowl, leading them after Eason went out with an injury, Grogan took a beating throughout
his career but always hung in there, he played with a neck collar towards the end of his career.

Namath wore pantyhose, need I say more?

I remembered Flutie and Plunkett, but figured both had their successes elsewhere. I think Bills and Raiders when I think of them.

Parilli? Whew! Going way back on that one!

But I’d buy their Megos before Brady. Yep, I am a hater!

[J.B.]

Plunkett will forever be remembered as a Raider and for wearing a helmet at least 2 sizes too small. Watching Grogan play in my teens, I remember thinking this guy could pass for Ichabod Crane; the nose, neck and adam's apple. So, if Mego does put out a Grogan figure, now you have a nice custom to build.

I'm ready for the Namath figure:



(I didn't have a white helmet to test it on)

If anything,most fans today know Joe from his feud with Mark Sanchez.

[LonnieFisher]

Joe Namath at the Cheers bar hitting on all the chicks. What a great diorama that would be.

On this date: Jets win Super Bowl III
On Jan. 12, 1969, Joe Namath and the Jets defeated the Colts 16-7 to win Super Bowl III.

[K]

I associate Joe with "Fuji Feem" LOL! Age dependent joke: his Fuji film commercials always made me laugh because he seemed incapable of pronouncing"film"

Namath is listed on Target's web site as being $14.99 and sold out.
