We will be offering two Detroit Tigers exclusive figures for sale during John Hancock All-Star FanFest: superstar catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, No. 7 and new Tigers pitcher Troy Percival, No. 40. Pudge will be in his home white jersey and Percival in his gray road uniform.

The figures will cost $15 each or $25 for a set. Both figures are individually packaged in a special All-Star clamshell container.

The McFarlane Toys booth will be located in the collector's showcase attraction, and will feature rare figure prototypes and a first look at the upcoming McFarlane Sports Picks MLB lines.
