Mickey Mantle Starting Lineup Cooperstown Collection 1997 Action Figure

The item is a collectible action figure/statuette depicting baseball legend Mickey Mantle. It is part of the "Stadium Stars" and "Cooperstown Collection 1997" series by Starting Lineup. The figure is made of plastic and shows Mantle in a New York Yankees pinstriped uniform, captured in a dynamic batting pose on a stadium base. The base is designed to resemble a section of a baseball stadium with seating and railings. The figure is housed in its original window box packaging. While the figure itself is described as being in perfect condition, the box shows significant wear and tear, including creasing, visible surface damage, and likely edge wear, consistent with storage or handling over time. The box also displays the product details such as "Ages 4 to 104" and "Asst. No. 68010". A nameplate on the base inside the box reads "Mickey Mantle". The packaging material is cardboard with a clear plastic window allowing the figure to be viewed. The overall appearance indicates a mass-produced collectible from the late 1990s (specifically 1997), focusing on capturing a likeness and action pose of the renowned player.
