Looking at the mini again, mainly the build now that it\'s been mentioned and I notice this guy would make a great Headbanger. Either part of a band or in the crowd.
Awesome job, the stands do look a bit empty though. Not sure what you could do without adding more minis and making a diorama out of it though.

Well as a packer fan this is great to see!
Gonna have to dock you for two problems I see: First it should be some sort of cheap american beer instead of coke(say Miller Lite as it is made in Wisconsin), and second, no packer fan would wear a purple and yellow bag on his hip, unless it was a trophy scrotum taken from a Vikings fan! Brandy has traditionally been the hard liquor of choice here, not whisky.

Serious question:
Herb, what color should I have done the bag? I didn\'t think about the rivalry and that somehow Crown Royal Whisky would be anathema. (of course if I\'d had less of a time restraint I would have removed it completely, with the scabbard.)
Filling the stands: Obviously this guy is cheering on the practice. The grass should be enough to show it\'s pre-season.
The coke was because it\'s easily recognizable. Truth be told, it\'s just a coke cup of the kind the stadium would sell. That doesn\'t mean it\'s coke inside.
However, he\'s just letting it all spill on the ground so it\'s probably not beer.
p.s. I\'m thinking of putting this guy on ebay just to see what happens. (but maybe I should wait until the season begins.

Eh, I was just giving you a hard time, I think the mini works fine as is. People drink plenty of Crown Royal around here, so nothing against the whisky, the colors could throw some people off though. However, brown would be fine for the bag as there are a lot of hunters in the north country, so you could say it was deerskin. FYI, the stands tend to be full even at Packers\' practices too. Their \"Family Night\", which is an intrasquad scrimmage before pre-season, comes close to selling out the stadium. I\'d wait until the season, even until near Christmas if I were to sell it on Ebay.

It it sells well enough, you could end up with profitable business making unusual sports memorabilia. Just don\'t tell the jocks that the original minis are for a game.

Okay, so he’s there early, before anyone else.
I’m grasping at straws here. Throw me a frickin bone!
Just kidding. Truth is I was just going to put him on the standard round base but others in the comp were clearly doing fancy bases so I succumbed to peer pressure and threw something together quickly. I wanted to put little advertisements across the back, but just didn’t have time.
brilliantly twisted creativity (as always). Wonderful!. Gilvan is right. You could probably specialize in odd sports figures as souvenirs - although, the cheesehead is so recognizable; it would be tough to come up with something like that for other teams. Excellent work. My one criticism is you should\'ve painted the nipples contrasting colors - green on the yellow side and yellow on the green side. For that I deducted 6 points.

I dunno.
Just about any Chaos mini could be converted into a Raiders fan:
Some dude here did a Star Wars Stormtrooper as a Giants fan:
Change what he\'s holding, paint the right colors, and you have a detroit lions fan:
(actually, a ton of basti would probably sell well in detroit).
Okay, to be honest it was harder to find stuff for other teams, but not impossible, and if I were selling to fans, they would recognize it just by the colors.
