New Footy – “Action” Card Teams 1948-1953

The “Action” Card Teams where first Available in October 1948. They came in various Action Poses compared to the original all in one pose look of the early card teams. Also new was the new “Patented Balancing Discs) that helped with the balance and most likely a response to Subbuteo and there Bases that were much more balanced than anything NewFooty had released up until this point… Basically it was the Same Lead base with a plastic disc on top… These lasted until 1953 when the one piece base that was closer to Subbuteo’s Base was adopted by NewFooty

It’s hard to nail down what was produced in this figure so for Some more detail go to Peter Upton’s site:
