Included in the series is current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, middleweight
champion Anderson Silva, former UFC light heavyweight champions Forrest Griffin and Rampage Jackson as well as the man who started it all, Royce Gracie.
Several of the fighters are scheduled to be in attendance to check out their new figures before they hit retail shelves this Fall and are expected to meet and greet with fans at the JAKKS expo booth.
Available for purchase will be a special limited edition platinum Chuck Liddell figure located at the JAKKS booth inside the expo. Sequentially numbered 1:500, the first 250 units will go on sale at 10:00 AM on Friday with the next 250 units available Saturday, also starting at 10:00 AM.
The JAKKS display is located at booth #427 inside the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Bayside Hall B on 3950 Las Vegas Blvd South in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Round 5 crushes these JAKKS figures.
I WILL BE AT THE EXPO!!!!!!!
YES SIR!!
Not really intrested in toys but autographs is a check
Exactly VND, JAKKS sucks – like really really bad.
Ive seen a few of these, they look kinda cheesy and poorly made. Not that I collect action figures or anything….
sure sure
Might wanna think about collecting them, this is the time; here in 20 years when the next generation gets into the sport new stars come in, the greats all retire, a Chuck, Wandi or Couture action figure might be worth some good $$$$ at that point.
These things look so very lame.
The Round 5 ones look good until you put them side by side and see that they are all the same size. They don’t make these true to scale like other hobbies do. All round 5 figurines have the same height, shape, size etc…. I guess they believe all MMA people including Gina are the same size and height.
I might add…I’m still waiting for a company to make MMA figures that don’t always have ripped abs and a diesel chest…not that i collect or anything….since when are Nog,Mir and Chuck body builders? Give Chuck a pot belly and skinny arms, not even joking, why not?
wow, you guys put way too much thought into toys! You guys do realize that these are geared towards 10 year olds right?
There’s $$$ in collectables Kev, my Dad’s got a 50’s-60’s Captain America comic book from when he was a kid; last time he looked it up it was worth like $500.00
That’s b/c comic books are bad @ss, O damn, not dolls. lol
agreed, and i dont even think most look like who there supossed to be..
i still buy them.. i bring them to my kids when i visit~
they love mma..
Stink-
You have little ones? Wow.
yes i do, 4 little pistols~
2 niece’s and 2 nephew’s..
Aaaah…
i do want to have kids soon though~
im 25 son, times tickin.. my girl and me have been trying for like 4 months now..
im starting to think im sterile??
u got any kids oj?
wow u guys r old, im only 18 but its nice to see ppl of all ages but mostly older on this site..
I turn 34 in a couple months, and I just try to get as much practice as I can for having kids.
hey!~ 25 isn’t old, f u guyverbob!! lol~
im not a geezer like pw or kevin~ ha!
btw pw, do u have kids
Stink-
No kiddies. I am enjoying life and traveling right now.
I’m 25 too Stink; is it just me or is 5 years from 30 kind of a freaky little landmark??
No kids here, just getting the practice in.
naah odamn~ didnt u hear~ 30’s the new 20..lol
i dont get scared too often, death certainly isnt a fear of mine..
pw, lol practice is always good.. just hope u have a partner.. practicing alone doesnt count~ j/k..
ojr~ i thought u were like 40 or something.. really, no kids?
jeremeyjack is also another ol’fougie that frequents this site..
i think he has a couple little basterds bumping into the walls~
kevin is married with children too~
Stink-
LOL. I am 34. Not THAT old.
Being in your 30’s is pretty cool.
You get to bang college graduate chicks and avoid the annoying 18-20 y/o bracket or drill the hot cougars.
You get to travel alot because by that time (ideally) you have your sh*t together.
I might pull a Michael Douglas when I get wrinkly:
pop some Viagra, get a hot trophy wife and start manufacturing little OJR’s!
F all you guys! I’m a young 39. Just cuz I like a little geritol after my early bird dinner does NOT mean I’m old.
I collect action figures and I ain’t afraid to admit it! So these look pretty cool to me. Highly articulated figures of my favorite MMA fighters… awesome.
Chuck never looked so good….what happened to the paunch?
This is Liddell on roids.
