I picked up an Elgin Baylor figure today and noticed that he has the current spalding ball with the Jerry West-inspired nba logo and I believe David Stern's signature on the ball. I don't know about Gervin for sure, but every other player in the series played during Stern's tenure as commissioner so it would be the right ball for them. I'm hoping that this Baylor is just an error or something and this isn't the case for every one of these. If it is on every Baylor, then if somebody from TMP is reading this, this is an example of the lack of attention to detail with the current figures that was so amazing on the early figures.

Other than the ball not being accurate and how it looks so small next to previous figures, I really like this figure. Even the cardboard backing on the NBA figures looks great.

I was in TRU yesterday and saw all the figs except Spud Webb. The Patrick Ewing is so small compared to my other Knicks Legends display, so I added the Willis Reed and Walt Frazier SLUs to help offset the goofiness of the size differences. I'm hoping the Spud Webb fig (which would look okay if it were that much smaller than the rest) still reaches the rim on the current backboard display.

I have two Baylors and they both have the Stern/West ball.
