Bale, Wales Funko

Well gang, it's one of those very rare posts where the figure is available!

Gareth Bale, custom Wales Euro 2016 funko pop:

So, just to be clear to anyone who has stumbled across this- No Bale or Wales figures have been produced by funko.

This one has been individually handpainted by me, with accurate shirt number font, adidas logos and badges.

If you are the person who offered me a fiver for it on ebay, the above reasons are why I turned you down!!

If you've got a reasonable offer for it, feel free to get in contact- social links in the banner, contact box below. If you leave a comment, you'll have to come back and check for my reply- blog comments are probably the least effective way of trying to get me!! 

Gudjohnsen, Iceland

It's easy to forget how good Eidur Gudjohnsen was, in his day. He was cherry picked by Barcelona, for goodness sake!

I think this level of talent, and the fact that he was never particularly offensive(!) was why people were generally pretty happy for him to make it to a major international tournament in 2016, even if his best days were behind him by then.

Here he is in Iceland's Euro 2016 kit:

Among the requests for this one were his white boots, and the captain's armband, which I think he was given on coming on as substitute in cameo role in the tournament.

He's also wearing his customary number 22 (in the correct font of course!)

I forget how Euro 2016 went for Iceland...

Alli, England

Being as it's the Euros...

(click to enlarge)

...here's my Dele Alli repaint!

I had to use a 'lookalike' to make this figure, and, while it's not perfect, I thought it was a reasonable likeness!

Hopefully his performances in the tournament pick up, and then, maybe this will sell on ebay!

A slight difference between this kit, and many of my other repaints is that I included the kit manufacturer, Nike. I don't normally add these, but thought the kit looked pretty plain without them.

Come on England!
