Holiday Gift Giveaway: Football Guys

About Kaskey Kids and Football Guys

Kaskey Kids was founded by Bruce and Christy Kaskey in 2001 with the purpose of creating simple sports action figures. As a mother of four sports-loving children, Christy saw that her children and their friends were happiest and most enthusiastic when sports were involved. Playing in the park, in the backyard or at the beach kept everyone active and occupied, but when playtime was brought inside, none of the traditional toys held the Kaskey Kids’ interest.

Christy took a look back at her own childhood for some inspiration and could vividly remember her two brothers engaging in hours of imaginary play with simple action figures like Army Men, Super Heroes and Cowboys and Indians. After a few years with her house filling up with every bucket or bag of action figures, animals or cars, Christy realized that a simple box of sports action figures could be the key.

Following an exhaustive search and realizing that the perfect sports guys did not exist, Christy and Bruce went about designing and marketing a boxed set of sports action figures that their children and friends could be enthusiastic about. The main design goal was to keep their children’s attention and encourage more creative and imaginary play. The result is the line of toys we have today!

So, What Did We Really Think?

We really love the Football Guys! We actually just won a set around the same time we agreed to do the review.. so I was thrilled to try them out with Caeden. We are HUGE football fans in this house and we want to do our best to get our kids involved in sports and to be gracious winners, losers, and fans.

Kaskey Kids offers a line of sport figures including Baseball Guys , Hockey Guys , Soccer Guys and Girls , and of course the Football Guys … even College Football Guys . They also offer mini packs so you can add to your collection, and perhaps one of the coolest things around, Tackle and Checking Buddies !

Heath and Caeden spent the 2nd quarter of the Steelers game yesterday playing tackle football… we have the Ohio State Football Guys. We love how standard these toys really are. It is amazing to think that in this time of video games, texting, and flashy gadgets that just toys can keep a kids attention. It really allows them to explore their imagination and create a world of their own… no gimmicks involved. It is just straightforward fun and we LOVE it!!
