McFarlane Toys MLB 13 Extended Season Edition

The McFarlane Toys baseball lineups are cast in stone approximately seven months before they arrive in stores. This means that the last scheduled MLB series for 2005 was MLB 12, arriving in stores in late June. So as star after star changed teams following New Year's Day, Todd was left with no way to get figures for these relocated stars into collectors' hands.

That's how MLB 13 -- Extended Edition was born. Todd wanted to make figures for four of the game's best players who changed teams in late 2004 and early 2005. Three of the four figures have been sculpted before, though Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and Larry Walker all have 100 percent new head sculpts for the MLB 13 line. Moises Alou was originally sculpted for MLB 12, but he took so long to sign with a team that McFarlane slid him into the MLB 13 lineup.

To put out a third baseball line (fourth if you include this Spring's Cooperstown Collection Series 2) we're running dangerously close to having it in stores at the same time as our much-anticipated NFL Legends debut series. To help the collectibility of the MLB 13 figures (which do not have chase versions) and to have them arrive and sell through in time to clear space for NFL Legends, these four figures are a short-printed run. MLB 13 is being produced at substantially lower-than-normal production numbers for an MLB line and will hit stores in August.
