8" Joe Namath

Can't wait to get the limited edition talking Joe Namath figure that awkwardly hits on you when you pull the string...

Like 25 different people posted that clip to the Museum FB wall, it's lost its lustre.

It's not as epicly hilarious as when I post a Comic Action Hero but it's getting there.

^Yes! I love the sculpts on Bo and Luke, particularly Luke.

The sculpt is really reminiscent of the Dukes of Hazzard line done by Dana Green.

That sculpt is fantastic. Looks just like him. And his flowing hair reminds me of The Simpsons episode where we learn why Homer's Mom left Grandpa.

Joe Namath on the Married with Children

So that 2 other waves that could use a Joe Namath figure.

Joe Namath on The Brady Bunch.

[LonnieFisher]

I'd like to know when he's going to become available for purchase.

[thunderbolt]

Hmmm, who could I cast him as on Batman '66? Sportsmaster seems too obvious.

Joe's street clothes

But what about the Joe Namath clothing line??? They would fit in perfect for the Brady Bunch & Charlie's Angels

I have zero interest in sports but this figure is a must have for me! There is a picture on FB of him with the pads INSIDE the jersey and it looks great. Head sculpt is a spot-on likeness AND it's in scale. He'll look great next to my AJ sportsmen. Hope they make more!

The shoulder pads on the outside don't bother me. I doubt many of the factory workers in China know how they are suppose to go on.

Yeah. The rose goes in the front.

Like you said earlier, it is a nod to the original. This is the original. Namath rocked a Schutt cowcatcher facemask, which Mego almost got right, except missing one vertical bar on the facemask.

If New Mego wanted to, they could have gone with the original 2 bar Action Jackson Football Helmet design, which came with a chin strap and is even nicer than the NFL Action Team Mates.

But they didn't want to. They didn't even want to fix the missing vertical bar from the original facemask because they wanted it to be an 8" version of the original; flaws and all. So back to what you were saying: It doesn't look very cheap nor terrible; it looks like what they wanted it to look like: an 8" version of a larger vintage figure.

Like I said, it looks ridiculous, but it has a reason to. Doesn't change the fact that it looks cheap.

Looks good! Reminds me of when I used to take my gumball football helmets, stick them on my Megos and other figures and play a game of football between them. Spidey was always the star player!

I bet it would look great put onto a Type S body with all the poseable possibilities that comes with it.
