Elite Foil Bag 2016/17 - SoccerStarz Archive

SoccerStarz are celebrating thier 5th anniversary, and what better way to do it than by releasing a special edition of the foil bag.

This edition of the blind bag is being branded as 'ELITE' and the name of the product is not the only change. The Elite foil bag is a far more structured series than we have seen in previous years, with the range consisting of 40 figures, with each figure being produced on 4 base colours, so there is a total of 160 figure to collect inside the ELITE foil bag.

The 4 base colours the figures are released on inside the bag are SILVER, ORANGE, GOLD & YELLOW

each base colour has the same rarity, 25% each. This base colour scheme and rarity structure is a departure from all previous bag editions, time would tell if SoccerStarz would adopt this for all future foil bag releases.

There are 33 figures in home kit, 2 managers in suits and 5 away kit chasers to collect. The 5 away kit chasers are exclusive to the foil bag and are not being released as single blister packs, so the only way to get these away kit figures is inside the Elite Foil Bag!

The Elite foil bag features a whole host of new sculpts and first time releases with all figures being in 2016/17 kit or the new Classic kit, with the only excpetion being Cesar Azpilicuetta for Chelsea, who is in 2015/16 but as the Chelsea kit is not being updated for the 2016/17 Collection, it is classed as this seasons kit.

It is worth mentioning that due to player transfers it may emerge that others inside the bag may end up being exclusives, due to their blister pack being cancelled. So far Jordon Ibe for Liverpool will actually be an exclusive, as he has left Liverpool, so his single blister pack has been cancelled.

The SoccerStarz 5th Anniversary Elite Foil Bag is due in stores late August, with a RRP of £1.99. Each Elite foil bag will contain one randomly packed SoccerStarz figurine and also a collectors check list, so you can keep a check on your collections progress.
