Jason's Wish List! Obviously I wish for a better Williams figure, but I would like to see McFarlane create Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice figures. A few childhood idols such as Dwight Evans and Wade Boggs (in a Red Sox uniform of course) figures would be nice. I would also like to see a third edition of Curt Schilling, maybe a retake on his first figure.
Is the Clemens figure worth the most? It is the most sought after Red Sox figure and many online auction tend to end around a price of approx. $75. But the most valuable McFarlane figure is the Barry Bonds (MLB Series 5) in a black jersey. Damn Bonds!
