1997 Luc Longley Starting Lineup Figure

Kenner's Starting Lineup program ran across the 1990s as one of the defining action-figure vocabularies in American professional sports merchandising — poseable athlete figurines produced across the four major leagues in annual series releases, with specific collector weight building around complete-roster assemblies. The 1997 Chicago Bulls release captured the second three-peat core alongside the deeper roster, with Luc Longley holding the starting center position across the 1996 and 1997 championship runs after joining Chicago from Minnesota in 1994. The Longley figure comes in its original 1997 release packaging, China-produced in Kenner's primary period production window. Starting Lineup Bulls figures from the second three-peat window remain tracked by both basketball-card and action-figure collectors as crossover-category pieces.
