Variations

For this listing, we are using the term "Variation" as any figure that is not included in the base set.  The base set typically includes all the players listed on the packaging of the product.  However, in some cases, such as NHL Series 2, there were additional figures added to the series after the packaging had been made.  For more information on variations, see Todd McFarlane's comments on the Todd page.

NFL - National Football League

Series 1 of NFL included 6 players with jersey variations and "no helmet" variations.  The "no helmet" variations have proven to be rare.  Each figure was also available in a clean and dirty uniform.  The dirty uniform included grass, dirt, and blood stains.  Series 2 continued with 6 players with jersey variations, "no helmet" variations, and the clean/dirty versions.  Series 2 would be the last series to feature the "no helmet" variations.  Series 3 was a 4 player rookie set that did not include any variations.  This set was a quick release to coincide with the Super Bowl.  Series 4 was expanded to include 8 players, each with a uniform variation.  The Ricky Williams variation figure featured Ricky in his Saints uniform.
