072 Larry

Larry is the TDD basketball player.

His G1 figure has the basketball at his left side.  His G3 figure has it in his right hand.  Both figures are bald.

The G1 figure has the number "01" on his shirt.  The G3 figure says "Dudes."

We can assume that the name comes from the basketball legend Larry Bird, though the figure is not really a parody.  For one thing, Larry Bird is not bald. For another, he always had the jersey number 33.

Since the numbering system was well established by the time Larry came out in Crew 14, I kind of wish they had written his figure number 72 on his jersey.  Oh well.  Probably some bald baller with the number 72 would claim that the TDD was made to be him and demand some toy royalties. Toyalties?
