Many Spanish sports newspapers are divided along Barca-Madrid lines, hopelessly biased towards either club (see the case of the disappearing defender & Dani Alves). While Mundo Deportivo and Sport represent the Catalan giants, Marca and AS are firmly pro-Real. AS recently had a great promotional offer for Real Madrid figures, approximately the size of Corinthians by the look of it. I desperately wanted to get my hands on a Xabi Alonso and Gonzalo Higuain but these figures' appearance on Spanish and English Ebays are few and far between. They actually look more like the Barcelona Bandai figures released a decade ago than Prostars to me.
There were 19 players released in the series as well as a neat display stand but I can't seem to find much information online about them. The players were:
- Casillas
- Ramos
- Pepe
- Higuain
- Khedira
- Ozil
- Xabi Alonso
- Di Maria
- Mou
- Lass
- Ronaldo
- Kaka
- Canales
- Marcelo
- Pedro Leon
- Benzema
- Dudek
- Granero
- Carvalho
From what I gather you had to purchase them for around 2 euros together with 5 newspaper coupons which guaranteed their scarcity outside of Spain. You can find additional information and product shots at the AS website and there's also a short trailer. If anyone has a Xabi Alonso or Gonzalo Higuain figure for sale, please get in contact with me at figurahead@gmail.com
