Read the press release from Round 5 about their new “UFC Live” series of figures, that starts with Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture.
Created with the higher-end collector in mind, these premium figures will measure a full 10 inches and will also come with a UFC-branded display stand. Together, the Couture and Liddell figures, created at a 1/7 scale, complete a battle scene from the epic June 6, 2003, first meeting between the mixed martial arts legends.

“’UFC Live’ is Round 5’s first scale figure, with an even higher degree of detail and realism than ‘Ultimate Collector,'” said Damon Lau. “Collectors and fans will notice a distinctly different look and feel to the line.”
“Commemorating the memorable Couture-Liddell bout is a perfect way to launch ‘UFC Live,” added Barron Lau. “Putting the two items together creates a classic scene from the fight which in many ways propelled both of their careers toward stardom.”
“UFC Live” will also feature a distinctive premium packaging that accentuates the figures and highlights the event for each pair in the series, in this case UFC 43. Round 5 is currently planning future “UFC Live” series figure pairs, to be announced.
“UFC Live” is scheduled to hit Toys“R”Us stores this fall and other retailers later in the year. A list of retailers for all Round 5 products can be found at www.Round5MMA.com.
