Wow, there is always a Grinch in the crowd. If you don’t like it don’t order one.

A grinch? That's funny. I asked a simple question...Are these legal or not?

Joe offers a quality service and quality products. I commend Leon and the committee for seeing beyond the trees and not getting stuck in thr licensing toilet bowl.

Oh really? Then why the sarcastic comment afterwards “Oh in that case...”?

Not very funny after all...

I’ve ordered one, as well. Who gives a rat’s ass if MLB is getting a cut? Not me.

Perhaps MLB?

Hello Joe,
Quick question. I had heard initially that you weren’t going to create promos for teams that were included in the initial original series. Did you change your mind or is that still the case? I ask because I see you showed a 49ers and I believe that was a team that originally had a promo.

Hi,
The SF 49'ers promo in my picture is REAL. I've had it a long time. It was the reason I created the replica football promo dolls. The real ones are so expensive. Being an mechanical engineer for Xerox before I retired, I knew what to do to reverse engineer it from a real doll. I have been restoring vintage bobbing head dolls for over 20 years so it seemed like a different way to use my skills. I thought the replica promos would be a great way for people to get their own promo without breaking the bank. I started with the AFL teams because they never made any for those teams. I had customers who liked my replicas and encouraged me to think about doing baseball. The replicas were intended as a way to stay busy in my retirement years and stay involved with bobbing head collectors. Dolls collectors are a different breed and most of them seem like great people.

if you are interested in a SF promo, as long as you want a uniform design that is NOT similar to the original, I would consider making one for you.

sorry for the long reply.
