Robbie Fowler, Leeds Vivid Imaginations figures

Robbie Fowler was ok for Leeds.

We'd have been better off investing in a left back at the time, and he had some bad spells with injury. We also sold him on at a big loss. I think all of these factors explain why he isn't all that popular with Leeds fans.

He was our top scorer in the league in his first season tho... and he's proved popular enough for a few people to request Vivid Imaginations figures of him in Leeds colours:

One in home kit; one in away. I think I'm right in saying these kits were chosen because the figure has a collared shirt!

More Leeds Vivid Imaginations figures to come!

Okazaki, Japan

Here's a Soccerstarz repaint of Shinji Okazaki!

Quite a nice detailed kit to do!

Berkovic and Howey, City

Here I am again! Back on it, with two posts in two days, and no less than 6 figures between them!

Here are a couple of Man City repaints:

While the kit is mainly the same for these two, there are some differences. Most obviously, I guess is the shorts colour. This was requested by the customer- I think they wore the dark blue ones in away games if they clashed.

Other differences: The shirt sponsors (which changed from Eidos to First advice in 2002) and the font for the names/numbers on the backs of the shirts. This is because City were promoted to the Premier League in between changing these strips. New League = New font!

And my favourite thing about these figures? The hooped socks of course!!

Dynamo Kiev

Well, it's been a while, so I thought I'd make it up to you with 4 repaints in one blog post!

Here's my Dynamo Kiev back catalogue!

My first Kiev repaints, and also my first order from the USA! Cracking the tough American market!!

I was very pleased with these- the blue kit in particular was very intricate considering that it is quite plain, but I feel I'm getting neater all the time... I no longer fear adidas stripes!!

As ever, I was pleased to be able to use the correct number font for the back of the shirts!

If you look closely, you'll also see a Captain's band on Luzhny, which was a surprise to me! I would have guessed that Sheva was the captain of that team!

Leeds Tonkas '81-'85

 I've gotta say, i'm loving how these Tonka figures are coming out.

Here are the next 3:
