These "action figures" make the Round 5 figures look good.

I find the lack of crotch bulge terrifying.

Hopefully this gets the kids into bloodsport.

I will play my game beneath the spin light.

I always found fully articulated joints creepy, maybe thats just me.
Maybe I’m just afraid of robots/androids.

Forrest is doing the Heisman.

My god those look terrible, I’ll definitely stick with the round 5 figures since they don’t look so cheap.

I dig the Round 5 figures.

Wanderlei Silva stares at me from the top of my cubicle…. he’s gonna get me some day.

If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.

Btw, I never knew that Nog was missing the bottom half of his left leg. Those fights with Fedor definitely left him in bad shape.

by Genghis Kon on Feb 17, 2009 4:51 PM EST reply actions

I am sure these action figures are aimed at the bloody elbow crowd and not 12 year olds….

by dbcb on Feb 17, 2009 4:57 PM EST reply actions

nice frankenstein bolts on your joints there, nog.

i think they used corey hill as their leg model.

ive never seen chuck with abs

so i used to work for a toy company...

My first “real” job out of school was working for (a now defunct) toy company called Palisades Toys. It’s not easy getting a toy that is playable and making it look great. (I even have a wicked battle scar from an accident I had involving an exacto blade and foam core while preparing for ToyFair one year…)

All that to say these things suck. It looks like very little actual research went into preparing the models and seriously… I understand that POA make it more playable but dude…

You know why they suck?

Because Round 5 has been snagging exclusive deals with guys left and right. They had to get these out pronto.

kidding aside, i saw some prototypes for these on the web a few months back and some do look good.

they have an anderson silva that looked spot on. also i think these are about twice the size of round 5, like barbie doll size

Not if the scale on the picture of the octagon (30" wide) is correct

AWFUL

I wish I could get some HAO Action Figures…

Awesome, I really like these. The Fedor one not so much, but Wandy and Cro Cop are perfect.

Gomi, Sapp and Saku are good too.

The nice thing about MMA action figures is that if they don’t stand up well you just say that they have a good ground game.

I excpect WARGODS to be coming out with theirs in the near future and I can’t wait.

The Shamrock figure comes with those sock puppet beady eyes.

by Blackout612 on Feb 17, 2009 9:58 PM EST up reply actions

And the Mike Bourke figure comes with a diving bell.

If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.

How about Frank Shamrock? Removable braces?

by BadB on Feb 17, 2009 11:26 PM EST reply actions

And when you put a suit on him he does a really fakey 50’s boxing announcer voice?

by Blackout612 on Feb 18, 2009 12:14 AM EST up reply actions

Imagine a Ross Clifton one… shudders

by cauliflower_ears on Feb 17, 2009 11:42 PM EST reply actions

I recognize...

Chuck Liddell since his name is on the box.

I also only know one fighter that has a penis on their chest so the last one must be Brock (overplayed and certainly not funny since a long time ago, but true).

Who are the other 2?
