Founded in 1941, Hartland Plastics
produced the
18 classic statues of star
Major League baseball players from 1959
to 1963 when it was then purchased by
the Revlon Cosmetics Company. Revlon
decided to stop the production of the
sports figures to solely concentrate on
cosmetic perfume cases and containers.
In 1987, Dallas attorney William Alley
secured the rights to produce a
commemorative set of the original 18
players. In 1988 celebrating the 25th
Anniversary of the original release,
the full series was issued.
After William Alley's mysterious disappearance while on a business trip in
1991, Bill Dunlop purchased the
Hartland name, and formed U.S.A.
Hartland Inc. USA Hartland was then
purchased by Steven Manufacturing later
that year, and moved the company to
Hermann, Missouri. In 1993 the Great
Missouri Flood completely destroyed the
Steven factory which was located off
the banks of the river. Hartland closed
its doors shortly thereafter.
In 2001 the company re-emerged as
Hartland Collectibles LLC. Granted
Major League Baseball and Cooperstown
Collection licenses, Hartland partnered
with Krause Publications, and the SCD
Authentic series was created. In 2001
SCD-Hartland announced that they will
reissue the "Original 18" Hartland
baseball-player statues. During the
next 18 months, Hartland release
enhanced versions of the 1958-1963
classic figurines. To protect the
integrity of the originals, each new
Hartland was be altered. Some
were presented with different variations of
uniforms such as Rocky Colavito as a
member of the Indians, Harmon Killebrew
as a Washington Senator, and Duke
Snider as a Brooklyn Dodger.
The first two issues were Yogi Berra
and Stan Musial. The limited run of
just 2500 were available for $39.95
each. Both statues shared the same
"American Tradition" style box,
picturing the two on the front with
check boxes. The box that was checked
was the statue you received. The
following 16 statues were packaged in
separate and a
different style boxes. In 2003 Hartland issued 3 new classic statues; Mickey Mantle Road Rookie
uniform, Mike Schmidt, and the 2002 HOF
inductee Ozzie Smith.
