The Hasbro Starting Lineup action figures are a new line of collectible toys for avid fans and collectors alike to pick up as a hyper-detailed take on some of the most popular stars of the NBA. The action figures stand six-inches in height and feature articulation points across the entire body to let them be positioned into a range of orientations. This will allow fans to position them for taking shots and more to give them a life-like appearance on a shelf.
The Hasbro Starting Lineup action figures are created using photoreal technology to perfectly capture the realistic details of each of the players. Set to launch December 19 for $49.99 each, the action figures each come with their own trading card and a matching digital Panini NFT.
