ELITE 2017 EDITION
SoccerStarz celebrated their 5th anniversary in style by releasing a special edition of the foil bag.
​This edition of the Foil 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 Orange, Yellow, Silver and Gold, with each base colour having 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 exception 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.
A couple of things to mention is that Cheikyou Kouyate is actually an Elite Foil Bag exclusive, as he is in West Ham United classic kit with 1999 badge, whereas the blister pack version has him with the new West Ham United badge on.
Martin Skrtel in Liverpool 2016/17 home kit was officially cancelled as he left the club and moved to Turkish side Besiktas, however production had already begun for his figure, so the initial wave of Elite Foil Bags did actually contain Skrtel on a Green base in Liverpool 2016/17 home kit, i can only assume the factory took the decision to include the figure as opposed to scrapping it.
​
Skrtel was also done in blister with around 2 dozen produced and I was able to acquire this entire stock to help collectors add such a rare blister to their collection.
​The SoccerStarz 5th Anniversary Elite Foil Bag was released in late August 2016 and sold in stores such as CO_OP, Smyths, Toys 'R' Us and Tesco, with a RRP of £1.99. Each Elite foil bag contained one randomly SoccerStarz figurine and also a collectors check list, so you could keep a check on your collections progress, with Manchester United once again having their own version of the 2017 Edition Foil Bag.
​
The Elite Foil Bag was sold in an 18 piece CDU and each CDU contained 2 Manchester United foil bags and 16 generic bags.
