Wanderlei Silva will now join the ranks of those forever immortalized in plastic.
Round 5 — the MMA industry’s fastest growing worldwide collectible figure company — has landed the the exclusive rights to produce the “Wandy” collectible. And that likely means we won’t see a Jakks Pacific doll of “The Axe Murderer” anytime soon.
Wanderlei will be the final character added to the Series 2 collection. He joins Sean “The Muscle Shark” Sherk, Rich “Ace” Franklin and Anderson “The Spider” Silva to round out the bunch. Series 2 is scheduled to hit stores this November … just in time for the holiday season.
”After the successful release of our first series, we are thrilled to exclusively secure Wanderlei Silva as the fourth and final character to join our eagerly awaited Series 2,” President of Round 5, Damon Lau, tells MMAmania.com of the fourth character announcement.
Round 5’s line of collectable figures are made to celebrate milestone victories and respond to the mass appeal of mixed martial arts worldwide. Similar to the Series 1 collectibles, these figurines are created with a fine attention to detail and are fashioned in the fighter’s signature pose.
The 6” MMA collectible figures will be available in stores across North America, including Champ Sports, F.Y.E. (For Your Entertainment), KB Toys, Toys R Us Canada and distributed exclusively in the United Kingdom by Made For Fighters.
Although these collectibles will not be available in retail stores or through online distributors until November sometime, MMAMania.com has been assured that we will be able to run a contest or two in the near future to giveaway some limited edition samples!
Stay tuned.

Isn’t the Sherk doll a little too tall?
I was going to say he looked small.
enough with the dolls already, or should I say “pose able action figures” lol
The Hell with sherk, where is the GSP action figure~!
The sherk doll isn’t bulky enough… someone needs to give that doll some steroids!!
HAHA so NOT funny, idiot hater
Stop hating
Get off the nuts buddy lol.
Its missing some “whine” and a kleenex box too
lol thats awesome. maybe one of the accessories that he comes with is a cup of clean pee.
LOL!
toad that one was funny as f-u-c-k im laughing my head off
Hater
someones got a man crush on sherk
That was what I was about to say…And IMO, Sherk ain’t even supposed to be with the likes of Anderson, Wanderlei and Franklin. They should’ve made a GSP or a BJ Penn instead…
Sherk fits in pretty good with the first group though. He is more relevant than Tito, and he defended the title only once, just like Rampage.
sean sherk is that you? ahahahaha
why would anyone pay money for these things?
the sherk doll is the only 1 that has a label sayin “actually size”
jajajaja i wanna see shad evans with them :D!!!
the anderson silva one looks more like rampage and the sherk one is way to tall
the only one that actually looks himself is the Rich Franklin doll
sherk needs to look more square-like
wanderlei looks like himself
Wandi does not look anything like himself, plus he has hair, which he rarely has in realy life. The probably did that cuz it was easier to do then his tatoo.
Yeah, Wanderlei doesn’t look like him. He doesn’t look “gorilla” enough, hehe!!
Anderson Silva looks more like Lexington Steele. I love how the Wandy one has him in his signature pre-fight pose. Even has the tats on the forearms.
I like how you compare him to a pornstar.
Anderson Silva got ripped!!
after reading the post, it makes it seem that the writer doesnt like JAKKS much. haha. hated the ’special annoucement’ much?
Does the Franklin doll, I mean action figure, come with his trademark perma-black eye?
It should to be authentic. But you can only buy the Franklin one if you buy a Gurgel one aswell. Jorge would feel left out otherwise.
Sorry I just spoke to a Round 5 customer rep and they said that Matt Hammill has reserved all of the Franklins and plans to get them signed and keep them forever and ever and ever and ever. “I wuv wu Wich.”
i woner how many rich franklin dolls jorge gugel is gonna buy
Haha, that was cold Bisping.
haha
Shawn Sherk over GSP?!?!?! Idiots.
I hear ya!
Yeah, you’re right!…that’s what I said earlier above this thread. These marketing dudes are idiots!
They’re actually not. I think they saved BJ and GSP so they balance out the popularity b/w the series. You start blowing your load on the first couple of series, then you’ll soon end up having a series with Clay Guida as the selling point lol.
this is a way bigger announcement than afflictions.
silva is not a fucking physical monster….when did sherk grow 8 inches?
Did they have to be so realistic with Rich Franklin’s male pattern baldness?
Well we can’t help it if his hairline’s drastically receding…
Hahah, these dont look anything like the fighters.
I already have a RIch Franklin doll anyways, I just took the one from the Mask.
hahahaha
they sure gave Anderson Silva a nice six pack he doesn’t have
I would not mind having that Wandi or Rich dole. the Rich one looks cool.
That rampage one looks dead on.
Spittin’ image!
Dolls are dumb.
lol the anderson silva doll looks more ripped than any of them…hahaha
Any guesses on the third series? Here’s my guess:
GSP
BJ
Chuck (the UFC will squeeze every last cent they can out of him)
I can’t make up my mind who makes it as the 4th, but IMO it’s between these guys: Big Nog, Forrest, Brock
id say griffin over brock and big nog
Series 3 should be GSP, BJ, Chuck, and Dan Henderson. It doesn’t matter though, these things look nothing like the real dudes. The Sherk figure is a disgrace.
my guess would be gsp, bj, forrest and brock. i think they forgo chucky altogether.
MY guess:
= Bas Rutten
= GSP
= Forrest
= Chuck Liddell
i cant imagine these dolls selling very well, mma fans arent exactly the play with doll types.
Do you have a son? I do and I am buying all of them for him…..except Tito.
Psyqo.. no i dont have a son, and no doubt kids would love these to death. im just saying, most hardcore mma fans probably wont love these toys (or any toy). could be wrong though, maybe everyone eats these up.
oh and good call on skippin tito! bad role model… if they made a miguel torres or a rich franklin id buy it without question! i give my respect to those with class and determination, not those with physical gifts.
hope this doesnt double post, lost one earlier… psyqo, i wasnt disrespecting the dolls, just questioning their true value. and props for skippin the tito doll, every man should raise their son to be a class act.. much love to the fathers who stick around!!
I’m sure that MMA fans that have kids that like action figs may buy these for them.
yadigye
Off the topic:
But the Chargers/Broncos game was total bull$hit. Those refs ruined the whole game.
fo real threw the game with that call
I am surprised this company is in Ontario; one of the only provinces in Canada to NOT legalize mma yet…
Finally a product that combines my love for MMA and my love for dolls.
is that wanderlei silva?? or Eddie Sanchez?!?!?!?
Does anybody know if Wandy’s figure has his tat?
Also, this is a great way to introduce a younger audience to the game. It’s funny how some ppl are getting mad that there are MMA dolls. Nobody’s forcing you to buy and/or play with them!
At a recent meeting I was ‘playing’ with all of the prototypes and yes the Wandy doll has the tat on his head. The pictures actually don’t do these justice, and I have a son who has already been ‘acting’ out Wandy vs. Rampage III…cheers
I use my old A-Team figure of Mr. T to be Kimbo. “You’re not getting me on no plane, Hannibal.”
