Nina Chanel Abney Bravo figures capture everyday icons in bold sculptural form. It is created in collaboration with AllRightsReserved and Super Cool Studios, and each 15-inch vinyl figure is inspired by classic Starting Lineup toys. The design freezes a position of a mid-jump shot. Other details include its angular cubist shapes, bright red shorts, white sneakers marked with black Xs, and Abney’s signature rose-dotted cheeks, reflecting her lively visual language and affection for local heroes.
Every figure is signed at the foot and arrives in custom packaging adorned with Abney’s motifs—faces, hands, and the word “SCORE”—along with white gloves and an authenticity sticker. Priced at $350, this limited-edition release celebrates the charm of non-professional role models, turning urban nostalgia into collectible art that resonates with fans of expressive design and cultural storytelling.
