Toy Review: Lil’ Teammates NFL Vinyl Figure 3 Packs

Lil’ Teammates NFL Vinyl Figure 3 Packs - Cleveland Browns

Being released just in time for the holidays comes this awesome Lil’ Teammates NFL Team Set 3 packs by The Party Animal. Currently 22 different NFL teams are available, with each collectible NFL Team Set including three different position players from one team (quarterback, lineman and running back). The Blot was lucky enough to get my hands on a Dallas Cowboys Lil’ Teammates set and it is awesome!

The Blot first found out about these 3” collectible vinyl figures while in Austin a few years ago when I found a Texas Longhorns Lil’ Teammates at the school’s bookstore. I’ve had a Lil’ Longhorn Running Back on my desk ever since. These NFL Lil’ Teammates sets are the same size and have the same attitude of the single packs that have been out for a couple of years, but now collectors can get the whole team in one package.

I have to admit these mini figures are great, and would make the perfect gift for the sports fan or toy collector in your life! And if you’re a sports fan/toy collector like The Blot then it’s a great merging of two passions. As you can tell from the photo above these guys almost the exact size as 3” Dunnys and have multiple 4 points of articulation (head, arms and waste). This is actually an improvement upon the Texas Longhorns Lil’ Teammate figure I have which only had one point of articulation at the head. That was a Series 1 figure and these are marked Series 3, so you can see how far the platform has come!

All in all these are pretty awesome figures at a really reasonable price (each set retails for just $24.99). The helmets are spot on and the paint application is very clean. Just look at those perfect stars on each Cowboys’ shoulder. Plus the sets come in a pretty cool diorama display package that can double as a NFL stadium. The Party Animal really did a great job on packaging these 3 piece sets. Now if only I could get away with displaying this Dallas Cowboys set at my home in Houston…my Texans loving wife isn’t having any of it!
