in 2000, McFarlane Toys released its first series of sports toys called "McFarlane's SportsPicks." The figures were based on members of the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) and featured APA favorite Paul Kariya. Let's hope that future lines feature other APA characters...

Paul Kariya McFarlane's SportPicks: NHLPA 2000, McFarlane Toys Individual Figure This is one of my favorite APA figures because it is SO lifelike. Not only is the sculpting up to par, but the pained look on Kariya's face and his stance put you directly into the action. It truly is wonderful. Toyfare recently awarded this specific figure "Best Sculpting of 2000." They write of the figure, "No detail is overlooked in the sculpting of this figure, from the ridges of Kariya's helmet to the laces of his skates. In between, the folds and striations of the uniform perfectly capture the texture of leg padding and the pull of fabric in motion."
