What can we expect from this line? Personally, I think the figures look a lot better than what Jakks did with UFC, but will it last? I hope so.

This first set isnt gonna be anything like the figures we will be gettig from series 2 forward. They are changing the entire look and scale up.

Kind of glad they do not look nothing like the actual fighter. Or else I would have bought them all. Nonetheless McGregor comes in tue.

Honestly in love with these already. The rest of series 1 is coming in on Tuesday. I love the click sound when moving the legs up. Reminiscent of Marvel Legends ab crunch and the old Toy Biz design from back in the day. Also swapping parts feels easier than WWE if that was even possible. Here is a size comparison:

Yikes that is pretty small!
Was going to grab Conor and D.C. but I’ll probably just wait for the series 2 retooling
Thank you for the reference pic.

I got a $25 Amazon Gift Card for my birthday a few weeks ago and used it to order the chase Cerrone. Should be here Wednesday.
Hopefully the rest of the set ships from RSC soon.

Per Magic, UFC series 2 onward won't have butterfly joints. They'll have the same articulation as AEW but also have better range of motion than the series 1 stuff. Seems like they really want these figures to be uniform.

Seems like they really want these figures to be uniform. A shame since the butterfly joints are executed to perfection with a line of MMA guys. And I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I'm fine with the SH Figuarts scale of these. It makes them really different from the rest of the wrestling toys on the shelf and the quality, accessories and articulation are still there to warrant the $19.99 price. If butterfly joints are gone I may have to pull the plug on these after series 1 personally.

I get why you'd want them scaled to everything else but the more I see, the more I wish these guys were just scaled to each other and not to a broader scale. Butterfly joints being gone is a tough one for me because they're kind of needed to do a lot of things if you're into posing/photography but I also don't really mind if they're gone if the figures we get look good too. It's a wait and see thing for me.

May get the Jon Jones, McGregor too. IDK I'm thinking about starting an action figure collection. Mostly Wrestling but those would be the two UFC figures i'd get until they make a GSP though Jakks made a GSP I think.

Oof... I really don’t like these, or the scale. I put in a cancel for my order, I might grab them when they’re in scale with Unrivaled

I'm not crazy about them being all the same size as JJones towers over the heap of this line in real life and yet he's the same size here. Another gripe is Holloway please is tall and lanky and here he's buff. Otherwise I would invest in a few of these such as McGregor, DC and Maybe Cerrone. Khabib looks more like a Jazwares UFC KO figure.which doesn't interest me one bit.

Butterfly joints aren't like, really required for a guillotine choke. I was doing those with my Toybiz Goldberg figures.

How the hell did they mess up the scale on the first series?
Unfortunately, I don’t think I can start a new collection. I have the Jakks UFC figures still and some of them aren’t too bad. The heavyweights have bird legs though.

The heavyweights have bird legs though. The scale wasn't like, a factory error. They were going to do the entire line in this scale originally.

Raw underground is going to have these figures flying off the shelves and outselling Mattel WWE
