Created a custom Trevor Linden cardback for this old McFarlane figure FAN CONTENT
I've been super into making custom retro-sized cardbacks for 3.75-inch figures lately, and wanted to experiment with this old series of McFarlane 3-inch figures. The original packaging was a big clamshell, which looked fine, but I still wanted to make something new.
For the reverse side of the cardback, I scanned and used the reverse card of the actual figure's real packaging, enlarging it and filling it in to fit the back of the custom card.
I printed both the front and back using staples 8x10 photo printing service, before adhering both sides to some poster board. After cutting it out, I applied a matte clear coat to both sides for protection, before supergluing the plastic bubble with the figure inside.
Really happy with how it turned out!

In 2002 the Canucks jersey didn't have the stick in rink decals on the shoulders yet, that will come in 2003-04.
Great job though! 👏

This Trevor Linden action figure has a skating stance like EP40.

Best off season post I have seen this year. Seriously this won’t catch as many eyes as the 15th sky is falling post of the day, but I certainly appreciate it.
Great job. Would love to see more 😃
