TeenyMates are new collectible sports figures from Party Animal Toys. These figures are about 1” tall and are officially licensed by the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL. Add this to their line that includes over 65 colleges and throwback series in the 3″ figures called Lil’ TeamMates, and you can have a little army!
I received several packs of the NFL Series 2 TeenyMates (the latest series). The first bag my son opened had the Saints, a team that he has liked for some time now. Also in this series are the Superbowl Champs, the Seahawks, the Cowboys, the Steelers, and the Bears, which are 32 teams in all. The bag includes two 1-inch mini-figures, two puzzle pieces, a brochure showing all in the series, and six rare figures. These little figures are really cute, and they make fun collectibles for kids.
If you are looking for a slightly bigger collectible sports figure, check out the 3-inch Lil’ TeamMates Series. I went with the football series to review this time, as I really needed to get a Seahawks Figure. Four different positions are available: receiver, lineman, running back, and quarterback, although it varies by the team on what has been retired or is still active. On the bottom of these little guys is what series they are in and their position. The head, arms, and legs can turn so you can position them. Also, the helmet does not come off, which is nice, so if the kids play with them, there are no lost pieces.
Now, I have a funny story behind why I chose the Seahawks… my son, who is 10, bet with his dad that if the Seahawks won the Superbowl, that dad would have to be my son’s butler for a day. They talked about this for two weeks, so you can imagine my son’s surprise when they actually won! So, this little dude is to serve as a reminder to my son. By the way, he has yet to cash in on his winnings…I think he is saving so that he can get the most out of it for a day!

That’s the best Superbowl story I’ve heard. I could use a butler for a day (week, month,year…)
