What are ProStars?
ProStars are 7cm high plastic collectable football figurines. The initial product name was "Headliners" and launched in 1995. The idea that was thought of first over a pint in the pub had finally come of age. The launch took place at the Compleat Angler in Marlow, Buckinghamshire with David Seaman signing England 12 Player Packs. Very few of these exist today!
As momentum picked up, other Premiership teams were released. It was our intention to release the full Premiership and to have as many teams represented with our figurines. However, it became clearer as time went on that Retailers could not cope with such a diverse range of teams and they were struggling to sell teams that were not local to their particular store. This resulted in some teams only having a few players released as figurines.
In 1999 the ProStars brand was launched, with Series 1 being universally acknowledged as a great collection to start the ProStars series. The range benefited from being made up of genuinely top class international players from most of the biggest teams in the world football. The blister pack series took a little time to move off the shelves as relatively few collectors knew about the range until the advertising started. Once collectors realized they were out there demand went up noticeably. As the first of the ProStars series this is one for the connoisseur and emand had remained stable even though most of the models were repaints of players previously released.
Since 1999 the ProStars range has gone on to produce more than 30 regular series, with many more planned. In addition to the regular series, special releases including England 1966 Winners 12 Player Packs (signed by Sir Geoff Hurst) and Limited Edition ProStars Elite double packs of some of the worlds greatest ever players.
In 2004 a new Retail range set of products were released, and all models come with Quiz Game cards that can be played with ProStars The Game.
ProStars Collectors Releases
Many collectors ask the question what is the difference between Headliners (Pre 1999 product) and ProStars (figurines released from the 1st January 1999)?
In response there are some notable differences. The brand name was changed from Headliners to ProStars as part of the overall deal when we sold our American Subsidiary in April 1999. This precluded us from using the name Headliners in the future and ProStars was born.
The sculpting of the models improved immeasurably and has continued to improve. One of the first things collectors say to us is how good the likenesses are.
ProStars have not been produced and then released in large quantities. This in turn has added to their collectibility and rarity. With our continual commitment to see ProStars as a collectible we have added in features such as individually numbered collector cards. This transparency helps collectors decide as to the future winners to add to their collections. Remember though not the best players make the best collectibles. Some of the figurines that collectors thought I don't want to add that to my collection have risen in value due to the overall demand exceeding supply.
