July 2003 saw Corinthian release a set of 12 ProStars in the Italy national kit. The reasoning behind the series was that the Italy national side had just launched a new kit with sportswear manufacture Puma, so this 12 figure release was done to coincide with the kit launch.

The 12 figures had all previously been released in other ProStars series, but of course not in this new Puma kit. All 12 were released as single blister packs with individually numbered collector cards, with Platinum packs also being produced. A series heavily aimed at the Japanese collector's market, although it did prove popular with UK collectors too.
