NFL mini-busts

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to make sports busts.



The rest can be seen here:

I'm not a big fan of action poses on min-busts and it really doesn't work for these, especially at $75 a piece.

Wow, I just don't get it. You have to be a sports nut to want this crap and I just really don't care about sports. At some point, we have to realize that we don't need an "item" immortalizing every damn thing we enjoy in life!. good god.

Being a collector I can understand people possibly wanting these. I mean come on, what we collect is probably considered crap to others too. I have come to respect and admire other peoples collections, even though it might be something I have no interest in.

Personally I think these are cool. Not for me, but I could certainly see someone getting into this--either the entire series or just their home team icons.

And yep, it's no crappier than collecting fictional superheroes, TV and movie characters, or cartoon busts. I remember when I was a kid collecting football cards and those little plastic helmets out of gumball machines. Of course $75 a pop is a little more than 50 cents.

I think would look much better with a different base. Maybe a helmet or even a football?

I think I'll pick up my home team ones. That's it though.
