I know that’s not real and it’s funny when you zoom in on the face, but I’m wondering if this will become a thing. It used to be illegal but ofcourse almost anything goes now. It could generate a lot of nil income for players. I would guess that UK would sell more than most, if not all, on player action figures.

I saw some old MLB ones from the early 90's in an antique shop last week.
Somebody with some 3D printing skills could make a fortune doing this, if you could work deals to get approval from the universities to use the Kentucky(other schools) trademarking.
Action figure plus a generic trading card

I would be interested if these ever became a thing.
I would play with them. And yes I am 35 years old.
They should make one with a basketball goal, Wheeler going up for a layup, and the ball stuck to the bottom of the backboard.
I still have my Antoine Walker double pack in his Celtics and Kentucky uniforms.
I would buy this in a heartbeat. A Todd McFarlane one would be even cooler.

This is a good forward thinking idea that could give UK an edge in the market. Players would love to have input on their own figure.
Someone forward this to UK's NIL / marketing department.
Not Mitch. Absolutely not Mitch.

Yeah I have an unopened Ken Griffey Jr. Starting Lineup from the early 90's.
The epitome of NIL, literally.This is a good forward thinking idea that could give UK an edge in the market. Players would love to have input on their own figure.

I’m a digital character sculptor. If anyone has any Uk contacts and wants to maybe tag team a figure project reach out. No joke.
You should absolutely reach out to the UK NIL dept with your portfolio and the pitch/concept.
Tying it to NIL is the best chance of getting the trademark approval
Cad isn’t a good program for that. Need a modeling program like 3dStudio Max or Maya. Not sure if the open source programs like Blender would do it.
Regardless, it’s a great idea. You know collectors would buy a whole team, year by year. Championship teams might become collectors items worth something. But would definitely raise some NIL money for the players.
I wonder if "Mean Gene" regretted this one
Creepy in what way. Is it much different than a bobblehead? Grown men saying they will actually play with them might be a little on the creepy side, LOL. but as collector pieces, it's no different than a bobblehead.
Can’t they both be creepy?
I’m sure many find adult bobblehead collecting to be weird as well.
