Judging by his posture and pose I guess it is supposed to be a recreation of Staubach after he threw the legendary "Hailmary" that gave the deep bomb the christening title it holds to this day.

Something in those pics I dont like, his legs are too big or too short or something. Roger the Dodger looks kinda chunky in those pics.

Is it just me or doesn't it seem like they might have at least included a football with this. Have it still in his hand or something. Other than that, its pretty dope.

Well, that was the 1975 season, and he only had one blue stripe on his sleeves, not two. The pants are a little too blue, too.

My feelings exactly. Roger the Dodger looks more like Roger Staufat.

That's the first thing i thought, then i thought why does he look like he's trying to catch a flyball?

Their mistakes or liberties undoubtedly, it seems obvious to me they are implying that famous play.

His eyes are focused toward the heavens as if to watch the path of the ball or perform a subtle prayer after releasing the ball.

The second play that came to mind based on his late 70s uniform was Super Bowl XIII when he rifled one to Jackie Smith but seeming that was inside the redzone his eyes would not have been so sky bound because the path of the ball was not a sharp arch.

All in all it seems to be a mesh of an homage to Staubach's career.

They have his hands spread out like he used to hold them. And it looks like he's got the little finger going out in an odd (unnatural) direction.

Just too thick through the waist, I think.

Still, a nice likeness.

How much $$.

If it is like every other McFarlane I have seen, then $10.

This makes him look FAT. Sorry no go. Not to mention he should be shown just about to throw a bomb.
