figures will be available in early October, 2007.

Dominique Wilkins
Atlanta Hawks
Sold Out
"The Human Highlight Film" was doubly lucky when the
Utah Jazz traded him to the Atlanta Hawks. Not only was he coming
home (he played his college ball at the University of Georgia),
but his career would unfold in front of a national television
audience on WTBS ("The SuperStation"). Basketball fans
nationwide watched his classic duels with Larry Bird and Michael
Jordan, as well as his breathtaking performances in the NBA Slam
Dunk Contest. Wilkins was a nine-time NBA All-Star and ranks ninth
in career scoring. He was enshrined in the Pro Basketball Hall of
Fame in 2006.

Bill Russell
Boston Celtics
Sold Out
NBA star Alonzo Mourning summed up Bill Russell's impact
succinctly, stating, "The man's got more rings than
fingers." The Celtics' indomitable center (and coach) played
13 NBA seasons, while making 12 All-Star teams and winning 11 NBA
titles. His duel with fellow center Wilt Chamberlain is remembered
as one of the greatest rivalries in all of sport. Tired of getting
hacked and swiped at when he pulled down rebounds, Russell devised
his own defense - he'd kick the foot nearest an opponent high into
the air, which was enough persuasion to let him land without
incident. When approached by McFarlane Toys about becoming part of
our NBA Legends line, Russell agreed - but only if he was in his
signature rebounding pose.

Moses Malone
Philadelphia 76ers
Sold Out
One of the best centers in NBA history, Malone's dominance was
only hampered by his career path - the three-time MVP and
nine-time All-Star played for nine different teams during his 21
professional seasons. Malone was a basketball prodigy, the first
high school player to jump straight to a professional league -
joining the ABA's Utah Stars in 1974. Malone averaged more than 20
points per game for 11 consecutive seasons, led the league in
rebounding six times and helped deliver the NBA title to
Philadelphia in 1983. He was enshrined in the Pro Basketball Hall
of Fame in 2001.

James Worthy
Los Angeles Lakers
Sold Out
They called him "Big Game" James, and for good reason.
After winning a national title at North Carolina, Worthy was
selected by Los Angeles with the top selection in the 1982 NBA
Draft. The goggle-sporting forward was a staple of the
"Showtime" Lakers squads of the 1980s, playing in seven
NBA Finals and winning a trio of championships. He was named to
seven All-Star teams and enshrined in the Pro Basketball Hall of
Fame in 2003.

Earl Monroe
New York Knicks
Sold Out
You might not place the name Vernon Monroe, but no basketball fan
in the 1970s will ever forget "Earl the Pearl." He
averaged a staggering 41.5 points per game while winning a
Division II national title in his senior season at Winston-Salem
State. He was drafted by the Baltimore Bullets, and turned in 24.3
points per game while winning the NBA's Rookie of the Year award
in 1968. Monroe was traded to the New York Knicks in 1971, where
he teamed with Walt Frazier to form one of the most electrifying
backcourts in NBA history. "Clyde" and "The
Pearl" helped deliver the Knicks' the NBA championship in
1973. Monroe played on four All-Star teams and joined the Pro
Basketball Hall of Fame in 1990.

David Robinson
San Antonio Spurs
Sold Out
"The Admiral" was worth the wait. San Antonio
selected David Robinson with the top selection in the 1987 NBA
draft, knowing full well he'd need to fulfill two more years'
commitment to the U.S. Navy. Robinson arrived in the NBA in the
1989-90 season, where he earned the Rookie of the Year award and
delivered the best single-season turnaround in NBA history (the
Spurs were 21-61 the year before, but 56-26 with the addition of
Robinson). "The Admiral" was a member of the gold
medal-winning "Dream Team" at the 1992 Summer Olympics
in Barcelona, and won a pair of NBA championships. Robinson was a
10-time All-Star and the 1995 NBA MVP, and is considered an
absolute lock for the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame.
