As a Chiefs fan I have a heavy heart seeing Tyreek in anything but a Chiefs uniform but it looks like your tweek is doing a great job representing him. wish the real Tyreek all the best and the same to your EF Tyreek!

The Maui Moonsharks kick the extra point and it is ugly but is good! IMG_1394.MOV

Christmas Day 1975. My Grandma gave me a Tudor model 500 and I have been hooked on electric football ever since.

“Now my QB can roll out or stay in the pocket without purchasing another player and my safeties can stay in cover 2 or can sneak down for run support. All with one base.” clever! This is awesome

That is a cool idea as well. you could trace your players actual movement and set up schemes accordingly.

Nice. I like it. Also It’s hardcore that you make your team practice in the snow too!

Thank you. I practiced this play beforehand not knowing if the right situation would present itself. I had the MLB back far enough that I hoped he wouldn’t notice my intention and far enough back to let his center get out of the way. I knew exactly the angle to set the MLB.

Interesting. While reading this my first thought was that after calculating QB to Receiver distance uou would then measure distance between defender and receiver snd then use both measurements to get the final dice roll. you could even incorporate defenders position relative to the incoming pass, is he between the qb and receiver or is he behind the receiver?

For me what makes this QB inaccurate is squeezing the release lever horizontally, this usually turns the qb slightly to the side. squeezing slowly while holding the base helps minimize this problem.

TTQB has much greater range. Although I discovered that you can increase the pass distance of the old QB by sliding the football split over the edge of the QB’s bucket rather than placing the ball down in the bucket. This increased range to about 70 yards on a Tudor Ultimate field.

Here is a blitz I did several years ago in our league championship. It was the last play of the first half and my opponent was in scoring range. I did not think he would risk a run. I left his center uncovered so he would clear out. I had my MLB aimed to blitz through this gap. it worked perfectly and I got the sack! You can see this video at: skip to 6:21.

This was about the eighth try. FullSizeRender.mov

I have not tweeked them yet. I haven’t really tried them for that matter. Ill try to tweek one this weekend

We consider it as a if the receiver grabs the ball but prior to his getting both feet down the defender knocks the ball loose. That is why the hit and fall must occur almost simultaneously with the receiver making contact with the ball marker.

Lol, I have those also but I stack 3 on a dowel for each team and use it to track timeouts left per team. just remove one when a timeout is used. (In my solitaire league, the SSEFL, timouts can be used to reroll a play selection. Or It can be used to change the rolled play to the opposite side direction). This is useful as I will run a few plays then do other things and hours, sometimes days, later come back to do a few more plays. It is sometimes hard to remember timeouts used.

I buy this button package from Joanns’s fabrics store. It is in their decorative buttons section. Just cut off the loop on the back side and you are ready to add your football to magnets or felt.

I wanted to add that in the TVEFL we have decided to allow the offense coach to decide which ball marker he wants to use. sometimes you may want the magnet as there is a chance that hitting the magnet will turn your receiver upfield. This is useful on sideline passes.

My painting is likewise nothing to celebrate. speaking of which, i am currently painting one squad of my tudor Army team to white jerseys so I will have both light and dark jerseys. (And adding a center, QB, extra RB)

They may be ugly but it is nice to know you own a piece of EF history. Whoever painted them did a rough job but they are nice and colorful.

I had a strong idea that you would be the one with the answer. Thank you, you are my favorite museum curator!

Normally I would be rooting for the Bengals but I would like to see Stafford do good so my guess for real game is Rams 27, Bengals 25. Electric Football game score is Rams 21, Bengals 17.

Sorry just realized that article is from the nefgm site

I did not create this article, not sure who did; Figure Guide for Tudor collectors: The Electric Football Collector website was created to share my electric football figure collection. I am pleased to share my collection with all interested in electric football figures and I hope the website can serve as a benchmark for collectors present and future to help identify authentic Tudor/Miggle NFL figures. Collector Information In 1967 Tudor produced the 1967 Big Men deluxe figures (known as "67 Big Men") painted to represent the 16 NFL teams and 9 AFL teams. The original 16 NFL teams came in both white and dark jerseys, while the 9 AFL teams only S came in dark. The success of the 1968 NY Jets resulted in Big Men white jersey NY Jets. They are the only AFL team to have both dark and white jerseys. 1967 Big Men teams are very detailed and look like the true NFL teams of that time. All 1967 Big Men teams have the words "Hong Kong" engraved on the bottom of the base and have more detailed sleeve and sock stripes. . In early 1969 Tudor switched to slightly smaller men, known as "Hog Legs". Early Hog Leg teams came in dark and white jerseys for the old 16 NFL teams and dark jerseys only for the 10 AFL teams (the Cincinnati Bengals were introduced in this time frame to make 10 AFL teams) Hog Legs are less detailed than the 67 Big Men. Also, Hog Legs were produced in an era where several teams went through uniform changes ( saints, vikings, redskins, eagles ), thus their are more variations of Hog Leg teams. Hog Legs are identified with normally 4 men having the "Hong Kong" engraving on the bottom of their base. In later Tudor production both NFL and AFL Hog Leg teams could be purchased in white and dark jerseys. In 1971 Tudor switched their men again and made what we call "Chicken Legs". Chicken Legs are almost the same size as Hog Legs but not as thick and not as detailed. Chicken Legs were made from 1971 until 1974. Tudor moved production in late 1974 to Haiti. The teams produced are known as Haiti Figures they are bigger than Hog Legs but smaller than 1967 Big Men. Haiti figures are known best for nice neat paint jobs. Haiti Figures can be identified by little "burs" on each side of their base on the bottom side. The 3 lineman figures have either a recessed or protruded dot or circle on their butts. Very similar to what the older Hog Leg teams are like. Each figure also had an identifier number on the underside of the base. A letter/number combination. These letter/number combos were larger in scale than those used on the older Hong Kong figures. All of the Hong Kong and Haiti teams from 1967 until about 1975/1976 had black shoes. In 1976 this changed and all Tudor figures after that are produced with white shoes. There were actually 2 versions of Haiti figures produced. The early version had the shoes painted black, like the 67 Big Men, Hog Leg & Chicken Leg Hong Kong figures. These are referred to as BS teams. The BS figures were only produced for a couple of years. Coinciding with the NFL teams wearing white shoes, Tudor began leaving the shoes on the figures white or the shoes were painted white on the amber figures. In 1978/1979 production was switched back to Hong Kong where it stayed until the early 90's when China took over production. A company called Miggle took over Tudor and produced NFL Electric Football figures and some major college teams. Miggle reproduced their own version of 1967 Big Men teams. Miggle Teams can be identified by the team logo stamped on the helmet and some teams with the logo stamped on the sleeves. 1967 Big Men teams also have the words "Pro Line" on the top of the base. Miggle Regular NFL teams have the team logo stamped on the helmet and some have the team log stamped on sleeves. Miggle Regular NFL teams do not have a hole in the base. Miggle was purchased by Tudor in 2015. In 2015 Tudor produced a new line of NFL teams which are known as Haiti Repro Figures. The new teams are more detailed and have the best paint quality than any of the previous Tudor/Miggle figures. All of the new Tudor teams have the word "China" on the bottom of the base. Most Tudor/Miggle/Tudor NFL teams fall under one of the above described characterizations however, there are many variations that exist one in particular is the "Amber Figures" and there are many others. The beauty of collecting Electric Football teams is that there is a lot of variety. Have fun collecting and feel free to contact me if you have any input or corrections to add to the information I have provided. Happy collecting my friends!!! Abbreviation Legend DJ = Dark Jersey WJ = White Jersey SH = Stamped Helmet SS = Stamped Sleeve SB = Solid Base

I got these figures from an antique shop very cheap. I got 5 eleven man teams. They look similar to Tudor manufacturing but as you can see their poses are not the same ad the fab 5. if anyone can identify their maker I would appreciate it.
