Guide to McFarlane MLB Sports Picks Variants
MLB Series 1-10
McFarlane Toys is home to the popular line of sports action figures called Sports Picks. These realistic figures are popular with casual fans and collectors alike. One of the key attributes to the collectibility of these figures is a chase element that has been at the line's core from the beginning. In addition to the regular figures, smaller quantities have been produced in what are called variants. The alternate versions of the standard figures are most often made with a different jersey color. This self-created scarcity is what separates the McFarlane MLB variants from being mere toys and an actual collectible.
We've compiled a comprehensive list of McFarlane MLB Sports Picks since the line launched in 2002. Series 1 to 10 are below. You can use the tabs above to navigate through other series as well as seeing a gallery of some of the most popular figures. Also, when available, we have provided production numbers for the later series of Collector Level figures.
