O'Leary, Leeds remodel

One of the more unique figures from my own collection; a player remodel of David O'Leary, who was only produced as a manager figure.

For those of you that didn't know, O'Leary had a short spell at Leeds as a player at the tail end of his career. Wilkinson saw him as the ideal player to share the benefit of his experience with our young centre halves, such as Wetherall and Newsome. Unfortunately he spent most of the time injured, but Wilko maintained that he had a big positive impact on the defence.


I was pleased with this- I'm still learning when it comes to head swaps, or as I've also seen them called Frankenstein figures, which I really liked!!

Anyway, it doesn't look like it has too much or too little neck, which is the biggest problem I've encountered with these!

As for the kit; it's one of my faves- my first ever proper replica shirt, complete, of course with the proper Asics font for the shirt name and number.

Fabregas, Monaco

If this post makes no sense, I apologise. I'm only doing it to distract myself before heading off to Elland Road for another huge game in the promotion hunt.

Sheffield Wednesday are the opposition, in case you wondered, and thus far, I have done one nervous poo, also in case you wondered.

Erm... here's Fabregas.


I like this one! I originally bought the Fabregas figure thinking of doing a Chelsea figure for ebay, but when I never got round to it, and opportunity arose this transfer window!

Nice traditional kit, nice club specific number font... and I always enjoy adding a beard!!

A couple of other bits of info about this one: it ended up selling via my Facebook page, and also Cesc himself 'liked' the picture on Instagram!

Aimar, Valencia

I've never posted a Valencia figure on this blog... until now!!

Here's Pablo Aimar:


Other than saying it's the first Valencia figure I've done, there isn't much more to say about it!

A pretty standard repaint, really.

Big Bad Batten! Bath City

I've probably done more Bath City repaints than you'd expect!

More than I've done of Barcelona, in fact!!

Here are the latest 2:



Home and away kits here. As it was a lookalike figure, I had to change the hair colour, and add the beard.

I also added the back sponsor, above the shirt number, which I don't often do, but was requested here.

I was very happy with the home kit especially- I don't recall doing anything quite like those 'stripes across stripes' before. I think it looks great, as did the buyer, and Jack Batten himself!

Kane and Dier, Spurs

Big game for Spurs yesterday, and very unfortunate in defeat.

Here's something to raise your spirits, though, Spurs fans!


Dier and Kane Soccerstarz, repainted into 2014/15 kit.

I was pleased with these! Soccerstarz are pretty tiny, and these ended up looking as neat as I could've hoped for!
