Sealed NBA Collector Series 1 Blind Box Figures, by MINDstyle 2010
NBA Collector Series 1 – Full Sealed Case (Blind Box) | MINDstyle x CoolRain x NBA (2010)
Step back into the golden age of urban vinyl and pro basketball with the NBA Collector Series 1 by MINDstyle, released in 2010 in collaboration with CoolRain Studio and the National Basketball Association. This was the first-ever officially licensed designer toy line for the NBA — and it remains one of the most sought-after blind box collections of its era.
Each figure in this series was sculpted in CoolRain’s signature stylized form — lean, angular, and expressive — perfectly capturing the swagger, energy, and individuality of the game’s biggest stars. The lineup featured 10 legends from the late 2000s and early 2010s, including Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Tim Duncan, and others, immortalized as collectible art figures.
This factory-sealed full set preserves the mystery and excitement of MINDstyle’s blind box format — untouched, unopened, and impossible to find complete today. Each figure inside stands about 4 inches tall, designed for both display and collectibility, with a premium matte finish and articulated joints.

Why It’s Rare:
Released at the height of the urban vinyl movement, the NBA Collector Series 1 marked the first official crossover between the NBA and the designer toy world. Because these were sold only in blind boxes and in limited quantities, finding a complete sealed set today is nearly impossible. With MINDstyle’s licensing run long discontinued, this is a grail-level collectible — combining sports history, art design, and pop culture heritage in one.
