024 Homer

Homer is the TDD baseball player.  

His G1 figure balances a baseball bat on his left foot.

His earliest G3 figure became a catcher instead of a batter.  He wears a mitt on his right hand and is holding a baseball in his left hand.  He was one of the figures in the Blastboards series.  These were the first "bendy arm" figures available. 

His second G3 figure came to bat again.  This time the baseball bat is a separate accessory which is almost always missing in used lots.

This figure has a zood.  His name is Arby I.  This is a play on the term "RBI" or "Run Batted In."

His likeness is that of a furry mascot common to Major League Baseball.  There are several real mascots that are basically just funny looking creatures.  Arby I mostly resembles Wally, The Green Monster (of the Boston Red Sox) with maybe just a hint of The Phillie Phanatic (of the Philadelphia Phillies).

Let's not neglect that Homer also has a "B" on his hat that is styled suspiciously like that of the Boston Red Sox.  I am surprised that they made the G3 dude and zood both parodies of the same specific team.  Then again, the Red Sox were the World Series Champions in 2004 when this sculpt debuted, so I guess they decided to just go with the winners rather than the home team (which would have been the San Diego Padres).
