Technically retired from the NFL, receiver Hines Ward’s football career has one final chapter. He appears as a member of the Gotham Rogues in The Dark Knight Rises (July 20), running with the ball as the field behind him disappears into a chasm.
To commemorate Ward’s role in the film, McFarlane Toys will release in November an action figure featuring Ward in his Rogues uniform, according to Brian Truitt of USA Today.
“They haven’t told me whether when Hines does his spike and touchdown dance he falls into the pit. But at least on the trailer he’s looking pretty good,” McFarlane told Truitt.
Other McFarlane figures scheduled to be released this year include Andrew Luck, Robert Grifffin III, Peyton Manning as a member of the Broncos, and Tim Tebow as a member of the Jets.
Maybe the Tebow figure will be assuming the pre-snap posture of a personal punt protector.

Wow! Five figures of which only two have done something? Makes sense to me….
Gonna have to get one…….for my kids, of course.
They just took some old Peyton bobbleheads and updated them by removing the spring from the neck.
Don’t let him drive the Batmobile
Can it do cheap shots?????
Bad ass!cant wait to pick the hines one up!def gonna be a best seller!
Watch your back Batman, The Grinning El Cheapo Lurks the streets waiting for the moment your not looking and BLAMMO!!! Cheapshot right in your back, all you see is him dancing away into the shadows wearing only sequined pants, as you lay in the gutter writhing in pain, wondering what hit you in the back.
Going to really miss seeing Hines on the field this fall
Always hated this figure cuz Hines never wore that helmet … But its a Awesome gesture to make this one after the movie…!
Rogues uniform looks better than the Steelers.
can we make those our throwback unis? please??
Shoulda wore those this year instead of those awful throwbacks.
Considering the fact that he has been forced into
retirement & also taking into account his sub-par
performances of late they should call the latest
Whines Hard doll an “inaction figure”!
A blockbuster film is a pretty good retirement tour!
