Round 5 announces Series 4 release with Henderson, Le, "Shogun" and Serra
Round 5 today announced that its Series 4 release of MMA figurines will include former PRIDE champion Dan Henderson, Strikeforce world middleweight champion Cung Le, UFC light heavyweight Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and former UFC welterweight title-holder Matt Serra.
Previously announced dolls of Fedor Emelianenko and Gina Carano round out the series.
The Series 4 release is slated for a July release. Company executives expect the figurines to be available in time for UFC 100 on July 11.
"With six figurines, Series 4 will be our largest issuance to date," Round 5 CEO Damon Lau stated. "Adding four more of the biggest names in the sport – with wide fan bases – to what began as an already-stacked set is huge for Round 5 and a great opportunity for fans to quickly add to their collections."
Round 5 collectibles are available at retailers such as Toys 'R' Us, FYE, Century Martial Arts, Sunrise Records, The Treadmill Factory and Hatashita International.
Round 5 also today announced that its Round 3 release (with Andrei Arlovski, "Big" John McCarthy, Frank Mir and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira) will be delayed approximately a month; the figurines will be in stores by late May.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported, a Jason MacDonald figurine will also be released in a series later this year. UFC veterans Chris Lylte and Martin Kampmann also recently signed to have their Round 5 figurines produced, though no release dates have been determined.
