Even the Lakers and the Celtics can agree that the new Starting Lineup collectibles aren’t here to play.
As announced earlier this year, Hasbro is teaming up with the NBA, the National Basketball Players Association, and digital sports platform Fanatics to relaunch the Starting Lineup line of sports action figures. Today, Hasbro revealed exactly which players will be in the first Starting Lineup release.
Eight of the NBA’s best players will have figures in this wave: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Luka Dončić, Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Ja Morant, Jayson Tatum, and Trae Young.
These photorealistic, articulated figures come ball-in-hand, ready to play whatever game collectors have to throw at them. The men who inspired these collectibles dwarf their action figures, which are 6-inch scale. Each figure also comes with interchangeable hands, a display stand, an officially licensed Panini NBA trading card, and a redemption code for a Panini NFT Trading Card of that athlete.
Each figure comes in plastic-free packaging — specifically a black cardboard box with white lettering and detailing. There is also a picture of the figure inside on the front of each box.
If you’re looking to net one of these figures, you can preorder them at the links below. The action figures are expected to ship by Dec. 19. Additional Starting Lineup releases — including drops featuring other professional sporting leagues — will be coming soon.
