Well, not exactly Montreal, but we’ll take it!

Nearby Boisbriand-based Imports Dragon announced Wednesday that it has been awarded the licensing agreement with Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association to make life-like collectible figures of the players. This is a new deal for Imports Dragon; the previous license holder was McFarlane Toys.

Forty players will be featured in the 2016 run, Imports Dragon says, including a David Ortiz figure to mark Boston Red Sox slugger’s final season and popular Blue Jays MVP Josh Donaldson.

There are also plans to add one player from each team next year.

And if this – “… will also turn back the clock and produce figures of past MLB Superstars. ” – makes you wonder if we’ll get a Gary Carter figure or some other stalwart from the former Montreal Expos, just settle down.

Replying by email, Alexandre Ouellette said: “So far, no Expos are in the works. I would love to work on one soon but it’s just not in the pipeline yet.”
