Won't be until late this afternoon or early evening and I'd be surprised if they released news on both the SB Exclusive and the supposed Babe Ruth Super Chase that's limited to only 3 .

I could be wrong but that seems like a bit to much news for folks to handle all at one time. They usually like to keep it to 1 big story then a couple of smaller scale ones.

I hope it is in the same exclusive packageing as all the other one or my wall will look weird. :) I don't really care I am here in Tampa and I am actually going to work the superbowl Security so that will be awesome and the company also said I will have the oppertunity to work next years superbowl in Miami as well. So, if Mcfarlane doen't come here for this years superbowl it is the Tampa Jinx the first series was LT and Seau in San Diego Were the Bucs won the Superbowl and then the Superbowl in Tampa No apperance of the Mcfarlane booth that is a curse I think?? Who knows...I can't wait to see what happens.

You'd think so, but they could easily just skip next year and then do it for Dallas-or just add whatever figure they were going to do for Dallas to a regular line or as a CC exclusive.

How can it be released along with a regular line and still claim to be a Super Bowl Exclusive?:confused: If TMP's previous release dates hold true, that means it won't be released until next Oct sometime. Right?
I can answer the rumors and tell you that we won’t be attending the NFL Experience this year. We decided to take a break from this year’s event, since we have been to Florida several times in the past and plan on attending the Miami show in 2010. Don’t worry though, because the Exclusive figure will be inserted into the NFL 2009, Wave 1 lineup.

LOL, how typical of you, homer boy. Honestly, who do you think really cares enough about any of those players to make producing 3,000 or more of them a worthwhile endeavor? 2 offensive linemen that are becoming upper echelon players at their position, but no one who isn't a diehard Bucs fan gives a crap about, a middle linebacker who is good but will never ever be anything close to the type of star a Ray Lewis or Brian Urlacher is, another LB who is an average starter in the league, a washed up, oft-injured receiver, a run of the mill RB, and a good, blossoming defensive end who a lot of people don't know about yet.

I'd say you were about right in saying "nope, no one worth making", even though you said it in jest. Sorry, Super Bucs fan #1, but not a one of those guys has a name that carries any weight outside of Tampa Bay. Ruud and Adams are arguably the two biggest names outside of Galloway, who is about done, and they will still likely never be mentioned in the same breath around the league in media circles as guys like Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp were.

Ronde Barber is the only realistic candidate on that team for a figure.

Its Ronde, people.

If there were two figures another Brooks would be cool in all white retro or modern.

Ruud would be awesome. He and Gaines are up and coming Defensive stars. TMP hates making defensive players especially if they arent Cowboys, Steelers......you get the drift....Custom time. :)

Galloway, All I will say is eventually I'll get a custom.

Sears and Joseph are becoming top linemen. Which is great, since Tampa has a history of poor oline. Why not a figure of either of them eventually? Hell they made Tra Thomas! :)

Earnest Graham I have a lot of respect for him. But he's not a star, yet...... But he is a damn good player. Again, custom for me eventually.

Come on now, try to stay with me. You didn't phrase that list as who you wanted to see have a figure. You responded to someone saying there was really no one worth making with the list, and then a sarcastic reply of "nope, no one worth making" at the end. When I read that, it sure seems to me like that is you saying they are all realistic and worthy candidates, not that they are your own personal homer choices for who you would like to see. Call me crazy, but I don't recall seeing the word "I would like" anywhere in that first post of yours.

My Sapp comment had to do with how guys like Ruud and Adams would be seen around the league, both by fans and by the media, compared to guys like Sapp and Brooks. I wasn't going for a direct positional comparison there. I also never said that you said or implied anything about the players on your list being the best at their positions.

My whole point was based around you taking offense at the suggestion that the Bucs really don't have anyone who would sell that well (after Barber) on a national level, and then posting a list which does nothing more than serve to really hammer home the fact that they really don't have anyone who would sell well.

Is that something you can wrap your head around, or would you like me to dumb it down even further for you?

I could honestly care less about the figure now, since even if they make a player I want it will probably be 2 inches tall and have horrible paint.

It's Ronde. Us Bucs fans should be very excited for this figure. It blows we didnt see pics(maybe monday?) and have to wait till September for its release. But at least we are getting another figure for our collections. The funny thing is TMP doesnt make many defensive players. I believe Ronde will tie us up with the Cowboys for second on defensive figures at three. Steelers being number one with four.

Obviously, that did not happen.

And now there is another post that says that there will be no SB Exclusive figure at the actual SB, since they are not attending the event, but that it will be released as part of Wave 1 of 2009? Where was that post originally posted -- in a different thread?

And has there been an official response from Mark or Ben about this, or did it just get thrown out there all casual like that in Ben's response and that not addressed again?

its brad johnson,he won the superbowl for them.

Jon Gruden won that Super Bowl. How hard is it to beat a team when you have their head coach?

And now there is another post that says that there will be no SB Exclusive figure at the actual SB, since they are not attending the event, but that it will be released as part of Wave 1 of 2009? Where was that post originally posted -- in a different thread?
And has there been an official response from Mark or Ben about this, or did it just get thrown out there all casual like that in Ben's response and that not addressed again?

Sheesh.... :confused:

Hey, Everyone!

Happy Halloween, sports fans! Many of you are anxious to know who the 2009 Super Bowl Exclusive is going to be…Well I can’t tell you that quite yet, but I can answer the rumors and tell you that we won’t be attending the NFL Experience this year. We decided to take a break from this year’s event, since we have been to Florida several times in the past and plan on attending the Miami show in 2010. Don’t worry though, because the Exclusive figure will be inserted into the NFL 2009, Wave 1 lineup.

DUNN and Barber in new poses with a real base please. How about limiting them to 1,500 apiece.

As far as I remember Ben himself posted it.

In going through the posts at the start of the weekend, I see that the announcement was made in Ben's Friday update, which was posted after I was offline for the weekend.

All in all though, that's crazy stuff, man.

What I don't understand is that later on in that thread, Ben says that he knew the news for 2 weeks, but was not allowed to say anything about it. Why then, did he say in another thread that not only would it be announced, but that pictures would be shown as well???

Perhaps maybe he was thinking that although the Bucs SB Exclusive figure was being postponed, that the Target Exclusive Marion Barber Thanksgiving figure would sort of take its place and even things out, so to speak?

Disappointing nonetheless. Perhaps it was meant to be Ronde for quite some time, but then for economic reasons they pulled out of the Super Bowl, and now with the additional time, are planning on changing it up to a different player, aka: Warrick Dunn? When did Dunn re-join the Bucs, was it in the offseason this past year? If so, then he obvioulsy was not a likely candidate for the figure given the 9 month leadtime we have been told is needed for each figure. By postponing the figure's release, perhaps now they can switch from a Ronde to a Dunn, perhaps feeling he is a more deserving player, or at least one that would sell better for them? Just freestylin' here, but all told, it is disappointing and an odd way to convey news to a loyal fan base. Sigh.

Man...this is a way to put a Bucs player in the regular line...and screw us out of a possible 2 players, since the last one was Cadillac.

So instead of a SB exclusive and a 50-50 shot at a Bucs player in the 09 lineup...we will just get it lumped together! ugh!

There's no way the Bucs had a 50-50 shot at having a player in the '09 lineup. Aside from Barber, what current player do they have that warrants a figure, besides Brooks, who has already been done?

The peeps have been asking for Dunn for years.

Peeps had been asking for guys like Rod Smith, John Lynch, and Jimmy Smith for years too. Given what TMP's player selection for their NFL line has looked like the last couple years, do you honestly think there is a realistic chance they would put Warrick Dunn in a regular series? I think if it was 1998, he would be made, but not now.

It's really disappointing that all of those guys didn't get a fig . . . Including Dunn.

I'm starting to think that it WAS Jeff Garcia and they had to change it because of what has happened this off-season and regular season.

I don't think so. I believe it was Ronde all along.

If it was Jeff why would they have to change it now? He has been doing a good job so far. But it would be nice to at least get an official name.
