Zuru readies NFL Ballers

Zuru is set to launch NFL Ballers later this year.

The range spans 32 figurines across three tiers of rarity. The 24 common figures include NFL stars from Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce to Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts. Then there are six Rare figures – Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Hurts, C.J. Stroud, Justin Jefferson, Joe Burrow and Christian McCaffrey – and two Super Rare figures in Josh Allen with the MVP Trophy and Patrick Mahomes with the Super Bowl MVP Trophy.

“NFL Ballers is built for the way fans collect today – instantly recognisable stars, real chase mechanics, and a price point that keeps the thrill of the pull within reach,” said Chloe McKenzie, Global Marketing Director Zuru.

“We’ve taken everything we learned from NBA Ballers becoming the No. 1 action figure collectible in the U.S. and channelled it into a range we believe will delight sporting fans this season.

Aneisha Vieira, Head of Licensing & Partnerships at Zuru, added: “Adding the NFL alongside our existing NBA and FIFA partnerships builds a sports portfolio that very few toy companies in the world can claim.

“We’re proud to be working with NFL. and the NFLPA to bring the league’s biggest stars to fans in a format that’s authentic, accessible and built to be collected — and we’re grateful for the trust the world’s most iconic sports properties continue to place in ZURU as a licensee.”

NFL Ballers arrives at retail from October 22nd.
