Pattni Imaginations, the company behind the hotly anticipated new Match Stars range of football action figures, has announced the appointment of Michael Narayan as Marketing Manager.

De Montfort University graduate Michael has a wealth of experience in the marketing sector, having previously held a senior role with software provider i-nexus, and will play a vital role in promoting the impending launch of Match Stars. The fully pose-able figures have movable head, shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, waist, legs, knees and ankles, as well as a unique spring-loaded kicking action, and agreements have been signed with some of the biggest names in world football – with Match Stars lines set to appear in the official kits of Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, Manchester United and FC Barcelona. The teams will be closely replicated and star players such as Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Andy Carroll and Lionel Messi are all set to become available in Match Stars format. The figures are set to hit the shelves later this year and will also be available to purchase soon through a dedicated online store at www.match-stars.co.uk

Pattni Imaginations has also recently signed a deal with Rocket Licensing that will see the company producing a new movable action figure based on Rocky ‘The Italian Stallion’ Balboa – the legendary boxer played by Sylvester Stallone in a string of hit movies. Forbidden Planet has already confirmed listings and will be stocking the figures as soon as they roll off the production line.

“I’m very excited about my new role at Pattni Imaginations,” says Michael, “it is a young and energetic company that’s developing some really innovative products and I’m thrilled to be involved.”

“We are delighted to have appointed Michael,” adds Pattni Imaginations MD Mayur Pattni. “As we continue to expand so too does our team and we need the very best people on board – Michael will be able to use his wealth of knowledge and experience in the marketing sector to build on the popularity and anticipation that is surrounding both Match Stars and our new Rocky line.”
