    Hi Jay, I agree about the Beenutt figures. I'd compare them to gorillas but that would be an insult to gorillas and I really like gorillas. 🦍  So I'll compare them to cartoon thugs. The kind Spiderman catches in the middle of a jewelry heist.

    Unfortunately, this is the new face of electric football and the success of Beenutt figures and ITZ bases will keep this hobby limping along. I hope. 🤞

    I like the Fab Five but I think of them as the Superior Six because I include the Tudor QB also. When Norman Sas left his office for the last time the only memorabilia he took with him was the bronze original of the Tudor QB. I realize this is a metaphor for Norman Sas quarterbacking the Tudor company for 40 years — and it might be just a myth — but I think the QB should be included. If you've watched any of my videos then you know all of my teams have the Tudor QB.

    Which brings me to another metaphor and that is the title of the book, The Unforgettable Buzz. Although the subtitle is, the History of Electric Football and Tudor Games, the book is really about the unforgettable buzz created by NFL Properties. There's an expression, "A rising tide floats all boats," and this is exactly what the book records. Electric Football could be replaced with just about any NFL Property and the history would be the same.

    I'm not sure if you remember "Huddles". They were a Tudor Product that had nothing to do with electric football and everything to do with the NFL. In 1985 "Huddles" were the NFL's number one selling item.

    Last Friday I read that Tudor will be selling NFL Rubik's Cubes. The cycle of history is the same, don't you think? I'll close with a quote from the Unforgettable Buzz, page 589.

    "In 1988 (Norman Sas) had no illusions about the future. There are still profits to be culled from the Huddles line, but Tudor, at least since Norman took over in 1948, had always been about sports action games. A real market for the type of game Tudor was famous for hadn't existed since the late 1970s."

    Enjoy the Journey.    T43.    🏈♾️ Great knowledge Coach t

    OK, since I'm getting back into painting for the first time since 2006, I'll ease into it with some easy stuff. These guys are heading for skin tone changes. I decided to go with the 2003 Carolina Panthers team (their 1st Super Bowl in RL). Once the paint dries, I'll base them up and get ready to play a game (after attempting to tweak bases too, I might add). Dang it, what's with these pics turning sideways all the time? 😞 I even used the editor here and rotated it, but no...it won't let me save it. What the @#!%?!!

    Your player base is inspired me to get three or four for the ones lacking on those teams that I listed. We will see how they fare in this competitive league. You just don't know how they're going to perform against live play and other coaches so we will see. Levi will get a chance!

    These bases will only add to a very competitive league and it should be a very exciting final season

    Thanks so much for all your input you've been great and we love your play style! 

    I misspoke we got four of those bases in addition to the three packs that we bought.

     

    That's going to make the Long Island Electric football league even more competitive. After five rounds of our draft the four player bases that we received will all be number one picks.

    Who benefited?

    Cincinnati Bengals icky woods

    New England Patriots

    TTennessee Titans Derrick Henry

    Tampa Bay buccaneers Ricky Bell

     

    Ricky Bell number one

    Ickey woods number 2

    Derrick Henry number 3

    New England Patriots number 4

    You can get a lot more out of that is you spend some time on them.  All of my HITZ but one were tweaked by me.

    Yeah, it's possible. Whatever it takes to sell something sometimes. Yes, I can always tell if a base has been tweaked. It was obvious that the ITZ bases I received from the LIEFL were not tweaked. There are very few bases that perform well right out of the bag without any kind of tweaking, which has always been a major drawback to the growth of the hobby and what evokes bad memories of the game for a lot of people. 

    Exactly!  Thank you for your reply brother.  The tweaker in our league is Jo99hnny Freeport.

    They appeared to be tweaked because all the others just bounced up and down and they look like a different style but they were excellent the three apparent tweaked bases it's just my opinion but what I think they're doing is you buy three bags and get three free bases and those three are tweaked and that's how they get you to buy more it's a psychology. I may be wrong but I don't think so

    The reason I say that is cuz I could see the tweaking on the bottom of the base

    So, they gave you 3 tweaked bases?
