Swaggy Lineups

The award winning documentary series, 30 - 30, is once again taking a backstage look into the preparation of BRO6. This time we're focusing on the step by step processing of this year's swag:

Step One: Procrastinate for 10 months after BROV, only having brief brainstorming conversations with the Commish about how awesome this would be, before deciding, "yes, lets do this".  

Step Two: Scour ebay for old starting lineup figures, that either resemble your ugly mugs, or are an athlete/sport that is near and dear to you.  

Step Three: Arrive home to the greatest week of mail delivers ever.



Step Four: Live in complete nostalgia for awhile, before agonizing over opening unopened, 20 year old toys.  

Step Five: "The Point of No Return"- Sand/ Scrape/ Modify current figures (removing poofy 80's/European Soccer Hair, leg pads/ facial hair, etc.), before adding them to a hot wash in mild detergent.  If any of you felt a little homoerotic two months ago, it's because your voodoo dolls were in one big hot tub together. (and/or, that's the way you always are...) 



Step Six: Add molding clay to elongate shirts and jerseys/ add hair/ make dip cans/ etc. 

Step Seven: Prime everyone.




Step Eight: Start painting.







Step Nine: Create and apply decals.  


Step Ten: Touch up and clear coat.  So really, a prrrrrrrretty, prrrrrrretty, simple process.  I mean, I looked at my health app on my phone and instead of tracking how many steps I took, it just made the flatlining noise. 

Enough with the process, let's get to what everyone sticks around for on home improvement shows...the before and after reveal!

Hope you all display these someplace appropriate.  I'm thinking they're a notch above your degrees, certifications and prestigious awards.  But for real, thanks for the kind words. Glad you like them.  I think Socrates said it best, "ultimately everyone should have a toy representation of themselves before they buy the farm."



ps- I'll murder you with an empty bottle of Loopy, if I find out you threw yours away in under a year.
