Frequently Asked Questions

Q- What are Lil’ Teammates?
A- - LIL’ TEAMMATES are the hot new collectible toy from The Party Animal. These figures are about 3” tall and are officially licensed with the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and over 65 colleges.

Q- Where can I buy Lil' Teammates?
A- They are available in Team Shops, Sports Store, Gift Shops and many fine retailers. Call your local retailer to see if they have Lil' Teammates in stock. They are also available online. The entire collection is available at www.lilteammatesshop.com

Q- Are these players player specific?
A- Player specific collections only offer players from a few teams. It was our goal to offer the collector several positions from EVERY team. You only need your imagination to turn the Colts quarterback into Peyton Manning.

Q- Do you have every team available?
A- Pretty darn close. Our initial Series 1 included over 200 figures. We now have both a quarterback and a running back for all 32 NFL teams. We offer at least one figure for every MLB team, and at least one pose for over 45 College teams. Our NBA trophy case is filling up quickly and our initial NHL offering is now available!

Q- My favorite team is not available? What is the deal?
A- Be patient grasshopper. We have most of the teams covered now and will be adding new teams and positions al the time. If there is a figure that you do not see available (or created), shoot us an e-mail with your suggestion. We actually listen to our customers!

Q- What is this “Series 1” all about?
A- Our initial offering is listed as Series 1 for all positions. Eventually, we will introduce Series 2, which will feature a new pose or a similar figure in a different uniform. We can do home uniform sets, away uniform sets, throwback uniforms, special uniforms or even special “Limited edition” figures that we only make so many of. Pay attention to the “What’s New?” section of this site. Eventually, we hope to “retire” Series 1, thereby making it a hard to find figure and increasing the collectability of the entire line.

Q- How can I see what figures are available for purchase?
A- Check out our “Products > Lil’ Teammates Products” section for a complete list of our current and future releases. Here

Q- What benefit do I have to joining Lil’ Teammates.com?
A- You get to rub elbows with some of the greatest sports minds in the universe. You can create your own individual profile featuring your favorite teams and team avatar, fill in your trophy case, play games and answer quizzes about every team for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and college and be a part of what we hope to be one of the biggest toy crazes of the 21st century.

Q- I have purchased a Lil’ Teammates figure, now how do I register it?
A- After you create your profile and are logged on to it, click on trophy case and “Register Your Figure” You will be then prompted to enter in some product information from the back of the original package, so don’t get rid of the package yet.

Q- Speaking of getting rid of the package, should I keep these in the package?
A- You can do whatever you want with these. I know if we would have known what the value of such things like Transformers, Star Wars, Masters of the Universe, GI Joe, Hot Wheels and Barbie’s would have been, a lot of us would have kept one in the box and took one out to play. We hope that eventually, once we start retiring figures, we can build up that sort of collectability and create an aftermarket for Lil’ Teammates. That is where we are gonna need your help.

Q- These questions are too easy… what can I do to help?
A- Send us your team question and we would gladly review it. If it is challenging enough, we will add it to our quiz section. This site is all about the end user- YOU. So please, submit your questions or fun facts to info@lilteammates.com.

Q- How are you promoting the product and the website to kids?
A- There is really no actual licensed sports TOY figures out there for kids. You have apparel, and your MacFarlane figures and bobbleheads, but you just buy those and display them, you cannot really play with them. These are figures they can take with them everywhere, bang around and actually use their imagination to bring their Lil' Teammate to life. We are promoting the website to kids by saying they can go on and register their figure and it will show up in their trophy case, learn about your favorite teams, take quizzes about sports, play games, Create your own Lil' Teammate with a chance to get that figure produced for you, redeem points for valuable things [other products, limited edition figures only available to online club members] and interact with your friends and other fans of the product. Plus, check out the “Create your own Lil’ Teammate” coloring contest for a chance to win 12 free Lil’ Teammates!

Q- How are you promoting the product to “Big Kids”?
A- By stressing the collectability factor of these. Initially, all our figures will be Series 1. In time, Series 2 will be introduced with a different colored jersey and then Series 3 with a throwback jersey and eventually, we will then retire Series 1, making that series “hard to get” and a true collectible. We hope to create a following for these retired figures where users can discuss their collections, trade with one another and discuss our new releases. We realize this will take time, but we are thinking big picture. Plus these are cool figures for any fan to put on their desk at work, hanging from their rear-view mirror, on top of their birthday cake, on their Christmas tree as an ornament or in their stocking for a perfect gift.

Q- I see there are other positions available for each league. When will those be out?
A- We have created future release figures featuring different positions for all sports (i.e. baseball catcher, basketball dunker). These will be released in the future, as we start to build up a following for the Lil’ Teammates.

Q- What can I redeem all these points I am earning on your site for?
A- There will be special limited edition, hard to find figures that are available for online members only. You may also use your points to redeem other exciting sports products in our team shop.
