My UFC fan expo experience, pick ups, GSP excl.

[ElGuapo]

Went to expo on Friday kind of a short notice thing. The lines actually werent that bad, i heard from someone that Saturday was really bad. Anyways i first went up to the Round 5/Jakks booth to see the GSP, there was about 50 left so i figured i would come back later and first look around. Well when i came back maybe an hour later there was literally one left. I would have bought more. The figs clothing and belt looks great. Head scan is decent as well.

My main objective for autographs was Bas Rutten and Wanderlei. We saw Bas at the HDNet, it just so happened that since we were wearing Bas shirts the guy who worked for HD Net gave us a free Bas Rutten Bobblehead. I didnt even knew if they sold them. I saw some on display but thats it. Acouple of the people on line were mad cuz we got it but i didnt really care. Then we met Bas and went over to Wanderlei signing Round 5.

He was great. Signed my 3 pack. Even did a staredown pose with him. Was glad we met him cuz the people were going to cut the line short which would of meant i wouldnt of got in. Possibly the nicest fighter out there. Very genuine and humble. Anyways here are the pics. I would say the GSP was the big pick up but im thrilled we got the free Bas bobblehead for free.

Just to add, sorry i wasnt able to take pics of all the other protos. The round 5 versus line looked great especially the Pride ring. I wasnt a huge fan of the 12 inch line, something was off about the Couture body, didnt like the pose they gave him. Looks like the Royce limited edition is going to be a blue gi.

The jakks looked good as well. Guida looked great, Rutten, and Alves as well. To be honest the Couture headscan isnt that bad. That scan is from one of his earlier fights so im expecting a new scan in acouple of months for a more up to date Couture. But still not a bad fig.

thanks for the info on couture.

Awesome pics! Hope the Couture thing works out. Just wondering; did you ask why there wasn't an Ortiz and Gsp fig on display? I thought it was odd that all of series 6 was there AND series 7 but not them. Thanks for the info!

Didnt ask Jakks that. Only question i asked was to a round 5 employee. I wanted to know if they signed Bas Rutten for a fig and he said its in the works.

The only GSP fig on display was jakks. As far as Tito goes, i was pretty sure i saw him, although i could be wrong. The pictures that MMAFIGS has for the Expo is not all the figs they had on display. I wouldnt stress out about it. There would be no reason to pull him from the series. There were some figs i saw on display that i havent seen any online yet.

Ok, hopefully there will be more pics; Ringside just pushed back series 6 a whole month so maybe they needed more time to fix some things.

Great pics and info. Blue gi sounds cool on Royce for the limited edition. And the Bas info........perhaps........I've been really hoping R5 do a figure of him.

Im surprised it got pushed back.

also one thing i forgot to mention, the booth did have the clear see through limited edition Chuck Liddell for sale. For a decent price of $250 haha

[Blingslim]

Ya that was just for anyone whos crazy to want it a few months early. Theyll be out in a few months. I can wait just fine. The guy tried to offer it to me. LOL

Thanks for the info and pics and well done on the bobblehead, 250 for a Liddell ouch thats a ball breaker.
