McFarlane's SportsPicks Seattle Mariners Ichiro Suzuki Action Figure

This item is a factory-sealed action figure from McFarlane's SportsPicks line, featuring a baseball player identified as Ichiro Suzuki, representing the Seattle Mariners. The figure is encased in a clear plastic blister pack, with a cardboard backing card. The player is depicted in a batting stance, wearing a white and dark blue Seattle Mariners uniform with yellow accents, including 'Mariners' across the chest and the team logo on the sleeve. He is wearing a dark batting helmet and black cleats. A baseball bat also accompanies the figure, positioned vertically next to the player. The base features a miniature home plate. The packaging indicates 'McFarlane's SportsPicks' at the top left. The backing card prominently displays a photograph of Ichiro Suzuki, the 'Seattle Mariners' logo, and a '1' indicating it is part of a series, along with the 'MLB' (Major League Baseball) logo. A 'WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD' notice is visible. A bright orange sticker on the top right of the blister pack indicates a discounted price: 'WAS $24.99 NOW LOWER PRICED $7.99', suggesting it was purchased from a retail store. The overall condition appears to be new, in original packaging, though the clear plastic blister shows some minor scuffing or dust. The cardboard backing is generally in good condition, showing no significant creases or tears. The colors are vibrant and there are no discernible manufacturing defects on the figure itself. McFarlane Toys is known for its highly detailed and collectible sports action figures, and this piece exhibits that characteristic attention to detail in the player's pose, uniform, and equipment. The figure is likely made of a durable plastic or PVC material.
