Coca - Cola Figures
These figures were given away by Coca-Cola in Latin America as redemption for bottle tops. Some became available for sale but some weren’t because the players wouldn’t allow it.
The teams involved were Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. You can see a full list of the players as we go on.
I have also heard of Mexican Coca-Cola players but have never seen any. I have heard production was stopped as a company in the USA had soul rights to make them. Also there is a possibility of some Chile Coca-Cola figures?
The finest piece of the collection is "The Golden Trio" a 3-player stand of Dunga and Romario with Coca-Cola balls and Ronaldo (old model) with Golden ball in centre I’m sure you will have seen this on my Home Page. When you see the old model of Ronaldo you will understand why he didn’t want any to become available!
The packaging the Coca-Cola figures come in is not see through so very few remain in packaging, as you wouldn’t know what player was in it although I do have a trio in the original packaging.
These figures cost between £15 - £25 each in today’s market, as they are very rare. Having a full collection including the Golden Trio of these figures would be worth close to £1,000. Pictured here are the Argentine and Brazilian ones I have. If you E-Mail me I may have one or two spare if you are interested in getting your hands on any.
