Andrei Arlovski - The Prototype

Round 5, creators of the World of MMA Champions collectible figures, has quickly made its mark on the mixed martial arts fan base. With two series already released, the company in January announced its next line of collectibles, Series 3, featuring fighters Andrei Arlovski, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and Frank Mir, as well as famed referee "Big" John McCarthy.

Earlier this week, Round 5 released exclusive behind the scenes images of the prototype for its new Andrei Arlovski figure. The company gives immense creative control to the subjects for the figures that Round 5 creates. So, of course, Arlovski's figure is captured in his famed pose with his arms spread wide and vampire-fanged mouthpiece intact.

The set featuring Arlovski, Series 3, will be available in April.

Round 5 already has two series on the market. Series 1 features Quinton Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Matt Hughes, and Randy Couture. Series 2 features Sean Sherk, Rich Franklin, Wanderlei Silva, and Anderson Silva.

(Both Series 1 and Series 2 are currently available in the MMAWeekly.com Online Store either as a complete series or as individual fighters.)

What I want to know is when are they gonna make any of these actually look anything like the actual fighters they are supposed to resemble. The figurines Pride had were WAY cooler! And they look way better or more accurate as far as features. I wouldnt take these if they gave them away. They suck and Im surprised if anyone is actually buying them.

Ha, I wonder if Arlovski demanded they give his toy a huge package or if they just did that on their own.
