Just a close-up of my UFC Rashad action figure showing off the awesome head sculpt. These figures have some of the best likenesses to the athletes that I have seen.
I love the attention to detail. Even on a figure this small, they have an almost flawless paint application. His brown eyes even have a single white speck added for a highlight. The skin tone is Matte finish and appears more flesh like and not the shiny appearance of some earlier series.
In the pic I posted, you can even see that they added a nice texture to his hair. His beard also carries through with a nice texture. It's hard to believe that such a quality figure offered by Jaks Pacific is only $9.99. When compared to the Marvel Legends six inch figures at $15.96 (I priced them today,) these figures are a steal.
The figure also has kept it awesome articulation boosting at least 30 points of articulation. I usually just put these figures on display and leave them in a static pose but, I love the fact that I can pose them in almost any position I want. I can even put them in fighting stances or submission holds.
I dare say, the UFC figures are fast becoming my favorite action figures to collect. I can collect all my favorite UFC/MMA fighters. When they release a series, I can get the entire series of 5 figures for $50. That fits my budget just fine.
I've already picked up Rashad and Jon "Bones" Jones from their newest offering. I'll probably pick up GSP and Faber next week.

Nice post Ms. Melissa Marvel. I say this because your the first site I've come across with a woman showing off her collection.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm trying to do some customizing for a post and there is a serious shortage of African American super hero figures in the Marvel Legends line or the DCU Classics line. So I'm searching UFC for characters. This is how I found you. Again great post and great site
Hi Omega,
DeleteGlad you liked the post. I've been collecting for a while. I won't be able to post for a while. I'm in the process of moving.
I couldn't find African American action figures period so, I started collecting 1/6 AA GI Joe figures.
I usually have to order my UFC figures that I can't find. I'm lucky, my local Kmart carries the UFC figures.
