Anyone here collect NBA figures by McFarlane? I recently got the 1992 Dream Team pack made by Kenner for only 25 bucks at a local sports collectibles store, I love them and I think its a great way to start a new collection/hobby for me. I still don't have any figures by McFarlane yet though. I do now have 10 figures though as there was 10 figures in the Dream Team set.
Anyways is collecting NBA McFarlane figures an easier and cheaper hobby than Wrestling figures? Also what sites would you recommend and what are the more rare ones?

My main issue with the McFarlane sports figures is that a lot of the likenesses just aren't very good. Mattel and even some Jakks figures blow McFarlane out of the water.

McFarlane Dream Team figures or Starting Lineup Dream Team figures? Ive never seen the McFarlane figures but I love the old Starting Lineup ones.

I had gotten a few McFarlane back in the day because a buddy of mine was a huge fan. I am a Celtics and Suns fan, so he gave me the Paul Pierce and the retro Suns Marbury. I had gotten the first Lebron and Carmelo, as well as a few others I had just gotten cheap (Baron Davis, Rashard Lewis).
I know out of package I have a Marbury Knicks and a Yao Ming that I had gotten off clearance racks.

I do collect the Startling Lineup stuff but I haven't picked anything up in awhile. I have the Dream Team sets from 92 and 96 though. I don't do any basketball for McFarlane stuff. I have a Dwyane Wade and that's it for basketball.

I have Timmy Duncan and Manu Ginobili (with long hair) from quite a few years ago, but have never bought any others. I need to get a Tony Parker at some point. I essentially just buy Seahawks McFarlane, however.

I have Russell Westbrook and 3 Lebrons (1 Cavs and 2 heat). I would like to get more but as kendoanerules said the likeness just aren't there on a lot of the them. I really wanted Stephen Curry but it looks nothing like him.
