Unknown figures can you identify?

[Coach Shawn]

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.

Playtime figures that came with the 1991 ABC's Electronic Monday Night Football Game set. Tudor's "Fab 5" are pictured on the box. But the actual figures were like what you have. This is also where the much sought after "brown" bases come from. as all the plastic pieces were molded in brown. I bought several teams of them once and painted them in 1920's uniforms.

I had a strong idea that you would be the one with the answer.

Thank you, you are my favorite museum curator!

Man, some of those poses are just....off, lol. I do like the one with the straight arms, it's like a Mean 13 coverage figure with a steadier gait/base.

[Coach Shawn]

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.

[Paul Kian]

Oh yeah, I'm not knocking them and it's cool to have something rare. I do like the bright and cheery color schemes, and I'm not one to talk when it comes to painting cuz my figures aren't much better lol.

[Coach Shawn]

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)

OMG 🤪 I'm so jealous. 😃

I wish I'd found that Antique Store before you.🍀 I've seen the brown bases on eBay,👀 like, once in the last five years. 

If the brown bases ever want a league of their own 🥰, please let me know. 🐿️

Thanks for sharing the pictures and thanks to the Electric Football Game Museum for the information about the ABC's Monday night Football.

Are the brown bases as good as Tudor bases from the same time period? Have you tried tweaking them? Do they show promise?

[nefgm.org]

I have never tweaked any. Definitely just as good and have always heard that they were better. Don't really know why? They are rare and hard to find just by the fact that they were only produced for the one year by Playtime.  

[Coach Shawn]

I have not tweeked them yet. 
I haven’t really tried them for that matter.

Ill try to tweek one this weekend
