With pre-orders available at $7.99 (at Entertainment Earth) to $14.99 per figure, these articulated 4-inch figures should come in a few bucks below their static big brothers when they’re widely available.  However, I can’t help thinking that for a buck or two more, McFarlane could have done collectors a solid and packed in interchangeable hands and head, so you could have a batter and fielder in one package instead of two.  I think they’d have better sell-through that way.

Brand New Action Figures Hitting Stores in March

McFarlane Toys is on deck and ready to knock it out of the park with full in-packaging photography of the highly anticipated MLB PlayMakers action figures line.

PlayMakers is a completely new McFarlane Toys product based on our existing sports licenses. These new action figures include the high level of detail McFarlane Toys is known for in a newly developed 4-inch scale figure. The addition of tremendous articulation, more than 20 moving parts, allows for complete playability and enables consumers to recreate countless action poses of their favorite sports hero. Plus, we’ve got the inning covered from top to bottom, as most players will be available in both a batting and a fielding version!

Here is a look at the entire Series 1 of MLB PlayMakers:

McFarlane has provided a first look at its new 4-inch super-articulated line of figures for Major League Baseball, Playmakers.  It looks like there will be different body types (I see subtle differences in the knees and pant legs), so Ramirez will look bigger than Jeter, for example.  The articulation looks pretty good to me too, with the biggest limitations in the hips and ankles.

Still no indication of whether figures will include interchangeable heads and hands to switch between fielding and batting or what the suggested retail price will be.
