Chicago Blackhawks Photo Puzzle

It's been 49 years since the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup. That all changed with a great playoff run in 2010 and an improbable goal in OT by Patrick Kane to win it all. In honor of the Stanley Cup champions and the other former players of the Blackhawks organization, here is the McFarlane Sportspicks puzzle I made with the Chicago greats. Included in the photo puzzle is Jonathon Toews, Chris Chelios, Bobby Hull, Jocelyn Thiebault, Tony Esposito, Nikolai Khabibulin, Tony Amonte, Bobby Orr, Stan Mikita and Jonathan Toews in his white jersey.

The Patrick Kane figure was released later. Also released this season is a Marty Turco goalie in red jersey, and white jersey variant. Coming next fall is a new version of Toews and Kane, including Toews holding up the Stanely Cup. Can't wait!

Varsity Blues Custom Action Figure Cards

One of my favorite movies of all time. Varsity Blues - the trials and tribulations of playing high school football in Texas. Great cast. Great entertainment. May have to customize the new 4 inch McFarlane Playmakers and make some actual figures for these cards, but here is what the cards would look like, once again, in the vintage Star Wars style.

Quarterback Jon Moxon

Cheerleader Darcy Sears (Ali Larter)

Quarterback Lance Harbor

Lineman Billy Bob



Running Back Wendell Brown

Coach Bud Kilmer

Wide Receiver Charlie Tweeder

Jules Harbor (Moxon's Girlfriend)

Miss Davis

GT Mustang/Strip Club Playset in the Future?

Nothing else to Say...

Custom Predator Action Figure Cards

Here is another great movie where action figures (6 inch or 3 3/4 inch) would have rocked, including the vintage style Star Wars Kenner carding. McFarlane released 6 inch versions of the Predator, but never the soldiers.

WWII Corsairs

I have never been much of a fan of airplanes, or even the military application of them when it comes to models and toys. I always like the ground pounders. However, something about the F4U Corsair, used by the Navy and Marines in WWII and Korea was pretty cool. 21st Century Toys and BBI both released 1:18 scale Corsairs. Approximately 5 versions were released.

This diorama was taken by hanging the three planes in my garage with fishing line and placing a blue bedsheet behind it. If I had any practice with Photoshop, I would have hid the string, but oh well. Maybe version 2.

Wolverine and the Hand Ninjas

Inspired by the Wolverine Mini-Series from 1982? 1983? Wolverine travels to Japan to visit his fiance Mariko. There he has to battle the red hand ninjas. While Wolverine has been released in many action figure incarnations, the 6 inch Hand Ninjas that came with the Marvel Legends Nick Fury 2-Pack were an exciting addition to any collection. Grab a few ninjas and put Wolverine to the test.
