Man I'd love a Frank Shamrock figure. I wonder if Dana has to approve any legends deals. That'd be a roadblock for sure. It's weird how they've never said specifically what lead to their beef anyway. Yeah I don’t know if someone like frank would get done. I’ve been talking to magic on Instagram and he said the contract situation is kind of tricky. They intend on doing legends but some current fighters apparently don’t even have contracts for them to make merch or figures. Not sure how they are doing things now but it sounds like it’s different than the way jakks used to do things contractually anyways. Yeah, I'd asked about the potential for guys like Sakuraba, Ken, GSP and some others and his answer basically was "hopefully Jeremy can work his magic again".

I'm just fantasy booking at this point, but it would be cool to see some of the crossover stars like Severn or Shamrock have figures in both the UFC line and some sort of legends releases if/when they go that direction in the AEW line. Plenty of places where contractual commitments could get in the way, but if anybody could get it done, Jeremy is the guy. I'd think a lot of these guys would be happy to make a few bucks off merch, since there don't seem to be a ton of marketing opportunities for retired fighters beyond some of the bigger names.

I know he’s not the biggest star but he was a huge part of ultimate fighter series one. I’ve always wanted a Chris Leben figure. He’s very toyetic and never got a figure in the jakks days.

Severn and Shamrock both didn’t have anything on their gear WWE could claim copyright to either. Unless they can claim ownership of Severn’s sweat 🤢

I don't follow the UFC, but these figures look sweet. If they match in height with Mattel WWE figs, I am going to grab the whole set.

Will they make any announcements of the following waves and show prototypes of the new fighters coming to SDCC at home? There has been no confirmación?

Yeah I'm curious to see if my Holloway comes in tomorrow. Still says Monday for him and the others delayed until August 4th, so fingers crossed!

I really want a DC figure but I'm not too happy about the difference in scale.

My Max Halloway comes in tomorrow and is already in my state's facility as we speak. The rest of the series is coming on Tuesday. (Ordered from Amazon)
