Best action figures<br />
<br />
For at least two years there was a company that made figures of a select number of players in their college uniforms. These packages did not have an enclosed football card like the Starting Lineups and were not as high end in comparison, sort of like the GoBots-Transformers analogy. However these were smaller print runs than the SLUs.<br />
<br />
Below is a 1997 example. The caption shows Dan Marino (Pittsburgh) while the only one that I own, Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State), has a checklist on the back that I assume is the complete list. So in addition to those two there is Herschel Walker (Georgia), Errict Rhett (Florida), Marshall Faulk (San Diego State), Rod Woodson (Purdue), Brett Favre (Southern Miss), Herman Moore (Virginia), Derrick Thomas (Alabama), Desmond Howard (Michigan), Reggie White (Tennessee), and Deion Sanders (Florida State) for a total of 12.<br />
<br />
<br />
Below is an example of the 1998 series (another Dan Marino), but I do not know the rest of the checklist for that year at this time.<br />

1997 Best Talking Series Series Two<br />
<br />
I have seen these sold online before but curiously I never made the connection until now that these were from the same company that I discussed a while back (see above). It says these were "series two", does this mean the collegiate figures above were "series one" that year? I currently am not aware of a "series one" Talking Series. There is a checklist on the back of the package that states there were 13 different talking figures, the checklist should be easy to decipher. <br />
