In 2006 Upper Deck decided to enter the Sports Figures market with their Upper Deck Pro Shots and All Star Vinyl Lines, hoping to repeat the success of McFarlane's Sports Picks.

The first in this new line was a James LeBron All-Star Vinyl figure which was followed by two four-figure sets of The LeBrons in partnership with Nike.

These figures brought a whole new look to the a new face on the sports figure market with their all vinyl style, similar to Mezco's earlier NFL Extreme Athlete figures in 2003

Unlike Mezco's earlier figures though these proved quite successful, mainly due to the fact that, unlike Mezco, Upper already had a huge base of loyal Sports Collectors to sell to.

Each of the NBA All-Star Vinyl Basketball Figures stands approx. 11-inches in height with limited articulation and a very limited production run.

Upper Deck's inspiration for this line came from the increasingly popular, and collectible, Urban Vinyl figures from Japan.

Returning to Realism With Upper Deck Pro Shots

Upper Decks Pro Shots aren't really "action figures" but more like highly accurate 6" statues or figurines depicting great moments in famous players' careers.

The first of these featured Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan

There were two versions of each figure produced a "retail version" which is sold at Toys R Us, and showed the athlete in the attire he was wearing and was packaged in a plastic clamshell with a cardboard wrap-around, and ian Upper Deck card.

Then there was the "hobby version," which was sold in specialist collectors shops and online hobby stores. This version featured the same pose as the retail version but with an alternate uniform.
