<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nSome football collections take up entire rooms. Others can squeeze a fairly respectable midfield onto a windowsill.<\/p>\n
That was the charm of Corinthian figures. Oversized heads, tiny boots and enough personality to make you care about a footballer standing completely still. A good one could bring back a favourite kit, a brilliant goal or an afternoon spent watching Italian football when you probably had homework to do.<\/p>\n
Choosing the best ten is asking for an argument, of course. This selection favours character, football memories and the appeal of the figure itself. Rarity can have the afternoon off.<\/p>\n
There is something wonderfully specific about a Nakata figure in a Perugia shirt.<\/p>\n
It takes you straight into the world of Italian football when even a mid-table fixture seemed to contain someone worth watching. For a collection dominated by the usual big clubs, this is a welcome change of scenery.<\/p>\n
A little less obvious, and all the better for it. Buy Here<\/p>\n

Kluivert in Barcelona colours belongs in any collection with a soft spot for late-nineties football.<\/p>\n
The appeal is easy to understand: a familiar player, a memorable shirt and that pleasing connection to a period when Barcelona\u2019s attacking options were an excellent reason to stay in and watch television.<\/p>\n
Put him beside Rivaldo and suddenly you are wondering who else you need to complete the side.<\/p>\n
Some figures earn their place through an unusual hairstyle. Gerrard has the Liverpool shirt and captain\u2019s armband.<\/p>\n
That combination does plenty of the work. It gives the figure a clear identity and makes it a natural centrepiece for a Liverpool display.<\/p>\n
There is also something fitting about having a tiny Gerrard overseeing the rest of the collection. You suspect he would have opinions about its organisation.<\/p>\n
An early Ronaldo figure has a different appeal from one depicting the established superstar.<\/p>\n
It recalls the younger player: quick feet, endless stepovers and defenders beginning to realise they were in for a long afternoon.<\/p>\n
The Portugal away version gives this selection a welcome alternative to another familiar club shirt. It represents a chapter of his career that is easy to enjoy revisiting.<\/p>\n
Ronaldinho is an obvious choice for a format built around personality.<\/p>\n
Even the idea of putting him on a shelf feels slightly unreasonable. Here was a footballer who made standing still seem like a wasted opportunity.<\/p>\n
In Brazil colours, the figure brings back the tricks, the cheek and the sense that something ridiculous might happen whenever he received the ball. Every collection needs a bit of that.<\/p>\n
A tiny Roberto Carlos is a pleasing contradiction. There was very little about his football that felt small.<\/p>\n
The Brazil shirt immediately brings to mind those surging runs and free kicks that encouraged an entire generation to attempt the impossible in the park.<\/p>\n
Most of those attempts ended somewhere near a hedge. The figure is considerably easier to keep under control.<\/p>\n
Rivaldo is a strong choice for anyone whose football nostalgia comes with a Barcelona shirt attached.<\/p>\n
His inclusion also helps make Series 4 particularly tempting. Alongside Kluivert and Roberto Carlos, he gives collectors several excellent reasons to start browsing for just one more figure.<\/p>\n
We all know how that tends to end.<\/p>\n
Brazilian Ronaldo in a Barcelona kit is difficult to leave out.<\/p>\n
This version recalls the young striker whose acceleration seemed deeply unfair on everyone attempting to stop him. Before the later career chapters, there was that exhilarating Barcelona spell.<\/p>\n
As a display choice, it has a clear advantage: one glance at the shirt and you know exactly which Ronaldo memories you are reaching for.<\/p>\n
Cantona and Corinthian feel like a particularly good match.<\/p>\n
The figures were caricatures, and few footballers offered more character to work with. A Manchester United collection without him would feel as though someone important had wandered off.<\/p>\n
He also represents much of what makes the earlier figures appealing. They have a straightforward charm that can survive years on a shelf and the occasional disagreement about who deserves pride of place.<\/p>\n
The hair certainly helps.<\/p>\n
Valderrama has the kind of instantly recognisable appearance that makes perfect sense as a Corinthian figure. Add Colombia\u2019s colours and you have a player who can command attention without occupying much shelf space.<\/p>\n
But the attraction goes beyond the hairstyle. He brings back a distinctive football personality, and the figure feels like a celebration of everything that made these little collectibles enjoyable.<\/p>\n
For this list, that earns him first place.<\/p>\n
There will always be a case for picking your club captain, a childhood favourite or the figure you spent years trying to find. That is part of the fun.<\/p>\n
Which one would you put at number one\u2014and whose omission is completely unforgivable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
