These action figures kill me (Crosby, Ovechkin)—and I mean that in a good way; they’re cartoony. Everyone keeps telling me they love them.
But I’m not so sure about poor Joe Sakic. Why isn’t he wearing a helmet like the others? Does the toy company really believe that The Hair can withstand scrutiny better than with the Crosby and Ovechkin figures?
Sakic’s action figure was just released today, incidentally, and they’re a Limited Edition - just 1,500 home jerseys, 500 road. To order, you can go here and click on Joe. If anyone buys one, maybe put a helmet on him…

Their uniforms are more burgundy and Prussian blue than Spiderman-red-and-blue, too. Details, schmetails.

I doubt you’d find someone (still playing) that has better name recognition than Crosby.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Joe Sakic’s hair is black, isn’t it?
Its good to see one of the games real superstars getting some praise. I like Crosby and Ovechkin, but there are a lot of more established players in the league who (1) have better name recognition, (2) more accomplishments, and (3) arguably are better hockey players at this stage than Crosby or Ovechkin. Sakic is definitely one of them.
