Expert Review: ZURU’s 5 Surprise NBA Ballers

Each capsule includes a mini NBA player figurine, a player poster, team stickers, a mini plastic basketball, and a piece of a basketball court puzzle. There are different capsules: super rare, rare, and common. Depending on which figure is unboxed, kids could also receive a miniature golden trophy, a basketball hoop, and a basketball launcher. After collecting several pieces, kids can complete the basketball court puzzle and shoot the basketballs into the mini hoop with the launcher.

Kids can support their favorite NBA player or team without breaking the bank! This is an easy, fun way for kids to get into collecting and helps develop their social-emotional skills as they trade the figures or mini player posters with their friends. The figures are sturdy and detailed, with jerseys reflecting what kids see on the court. The figures feature several points of articulation, so kids can move their heads, feet, hands, legs, and arms to re-create basketball plays.

Players from teams such as the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets, Memphis Grizzlers, and more are included — the collector’s guide will help kids keep track of which players they unbox. Since each capsule is a surprise, kids might be disappointed in the character they receive; however, this is a great chance to teach about the camaraderie of trading with friends.
