"We are grateful to our partners in helping us reintroduce these fan-favorite collectibles to a new generation of sports fans and collectors while bringing some of the biggest names in the game to an all-new action figure form."

Here's how Hasbro describes the Starting Lineup action figure line's return: "The new series of Starting Lineup action figures feature design like never before in a highly articulated 6" scale. NBA players joining the first series of figures include Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Luka Dončić, Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Ja Morant, Jayson Tatum and Trae Young.

"The Starting Lineup brand developed a massive following by bringing sports enthusiasts figures of their favorite superstar players accompanied by a trading card for more than a decade, and the introduction of notable NBA players will be the first of an all-new era of major athletes joining its classic heritage.
