McFarlane Announces Playmakers, New Line of Articulated 4-Inch Figures

Here’s a pretty interesting announcement from McFarlane – a new line of sports figures, in a new scale (at least for them) and with a decent amount of articulation.  I think from the schematic that these will have a mix of articulation from the 5-inch Halo figures, like the hips, and some new articulation for McFarlane, like double knees.  No news yet on how much these will retail for.
