Sports figurines
Sports figurines are collectible statues of professional athletes that are usually made of plastic. They come packaged with a stand and can be connected or removed from it.
== Description ==
Sports figurines can usually be found in stores usually located in malls or shopping plazas that sell sports memorabilia, they can also be found in online shops or even in official professional sports websites, or even in the more popular Dick's Sporting Goods,〔http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=34366736〕 and Figure Fanatic.〔http://www.figurefanatic.com/〕 It is possible to purchase one for any of the major sports in the U.S. such as the NHL, MLB, NBA, or NHL, or foreign soccer players. When a series of figurines of five to seven different athletes are released at a time, they usually consist of the more popular players and well known household names. These figurines are highly collectible with some being sold in limited quantities labeled as "limited edition". The limited edition figures have the athletes wearing different attire then a more common model, and are much harder to obtain and fetch a larger price. A common figurine has a starting price of $20 with a rarer one costing upwards of $80.
They are a step up from cards with athletes on them because of the fact they represent a 3d model of an athlete rather than a 2d image. Not to be confused with a bobblehead, sports figurines present a more serious manner in which the athlete the model is representing is performing an action commonly used in real sports such as a slam dunk, slap shot, etc. Anyone of any age can collect them if they are a sports fan, a collector, or simply trying to make a profit by reselling a rare figurine. A common place collectors buy and sell these at is the website EBAY, and Amazon.〔http://www.amazon.com/McFarlane-Sports-Series-Philadelphia-Collector/dp/B004J7GSQU〕
According to an article from the St. Louis Bi-State Region Report, the popularity of sports figurine continues to grow.〔http://collectingwithjeff.com/docs/antique_collectible_news/harland_sports.pdf〕
