Quirky cartoon characters are no strangers to the world of designer toys, but now it's the athletes' turn to make their mark with the SDCC NBA Playoff Collector Series 1.
Action Figure Xpress and MINDstyle have collaborated to bring together the SDCC NBA Playoff Collector Series 1 for fans of basketball and designer figurines. Each of the figures have been styled by a Korean toy designer by the name of CoolRain. There will be a five-piece boxed set, which will feature popular NBA stars Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose, Amar’e Stoudemire, Kevin Garnett and Dwyane Wade. If you don't see your favorite player, the name suggests that more series will follow, so I wouldn't worry about it.
The SDCC NBA Playoff Collector Series 1 will be available at the famous San Diego Comic Con convention and online.
