Nobody has asked yet, but I would love to do a project where I make an entire team of brick soccer figures.

This would be great for a youth soccer club's end-of-season party. Each kid could get a figure of themselves with their name and number on the back […]

New in my Etsy shop: The 2006 "FORBIDDEN" MetroStars jersey. What the club was supposed to wear in 2006 BEFORE they were bought and re-branded by the Austrians.

What figures should I make next?

You tell me and I'll make it happen.

If enough people want a particular team, I'll make a whole batch. Otherwise, I can always do a custom job.

Just one rule: No Fash Clubs.

Sounders figures, Whitecaps figures, did you all think I forgot about the TIMBERS?

Hell no!

New to the Etsy shop, the 2025 Portland Timbers home jersey. I tried a spiral infill pattern on the shirt which I think looks really cool.

My next project is a personal favorite: The "Forbidden" 2006 MetroStars jersey.

Background: In 2006, Major League Soccer's MetroStars franchise was purchased by Red Bull GmbH and re-branded Red Bull New York.

The whole process happened very quickly. So […]

Just 3 of these remain. But I'll make new ones if I ever stop making more Sounders figures.

The Sounders beat the Whitecaps, but that’s not saying much when you consider that I haven’t printed the Whitecaps’ legs yet.

A couple of the caps ended up in my bag. I've turned some of them into pins, one of which will stay on my gameday scarf in tribute to Chiefs.

I hope he knew how much he meant to everyone in our supporters group.

I sold some figures at the New York Red Bulls tailgate Saturday. It was a somber occasion. Our friend Tom—who most of us knew simply as "Chiefs"—passed away last week.

As a way to remember him, we drank his favorite beer, Rickard's Red. Imported from Canada […]

The winner of our Next Figure Up poll was the Vancouver Whitecaps home jersey.

But… I’m also going to do the Sounders Orca kit as well. #mls

With the LAFC project done today, I have some time to fix a few items that I couldn't sell because they had broken pieces, etc.

First up on the list, I printed new arms, waist, and hands for the Portland Hearts of Pine figure. Up the Hearts! […]
