There's nothing that means they're exclusively for adults, but these are clearly collector toys rather than play toys.

That doesn't mean this fandom is the primary market, though. I expect the success or failure of the line will come down to whether they're adopted by the sports memorabilia community more than action figures fans. Hasbro's licensing partner is Fanatics, and that audience has been their bread and butter.

The price is definitely prohibitive, but most kids don't buy many things themselves. Granted, $50 is steep but children cajole their parents into buying many things from games (same price point) to phones. Now, both of those items have more utility than one of these figures, but I'm positive a Stef fig will be an easy go to for parents of young Warriors fans when searching for gifts during holiday seasons and birthdays.

Again, who knows what will happen, but I just don't see this being supported on the back of adult interests. It reads like a play-line given the articulation alone.
