Autographed Chuck Liddell action figure to benefit Special Olympics
By Jim Murphy February 12th, 2009
Action figure and toy maker Jakks Pacific is teaming up with the UFC to raise money for Special Olympics. Jakks has created 150 prototype Chuck Liddell action figures, and will be auctioning them off on Ebay. The figures will be signed not only by MMA mega-star Liddell but by UFC President Dana White and Co-Owner Lorenzo Fertitta. When we first saw this press release we were hoping against hope that Jakks was releasing Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta action figures but no such luck…
Leading U.S. toy and action figure maker JAKKS Pacific, Inc (Nasdaq: JAKK), and the world’s leading professional mixed martial arts group, the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) are auctioning off a one-of-a-kind exclusive, autographed Chuck Liddell prototype action figure on eBay. As part of the JAKKS Cares™ charitable giving program, 100% of the proceeds from the auction will benefit JAKKS longtime philanthropic partner Special Olympics.
This is the ONLY JAKKS™ Chuck Liddell prototype in existence which was used to create 150 limited edition Chuck Liddell figures. This unique figure has been autographed by UFC President, Dana White, Co-Owner, Lorenzo Fertitta, AND top UFC fighter, Chuck Liddell. This signed collector’s item will also be the first JAKKSUFC figure ever auctioned.
Obviously this is a great cause and if you’re so inclined you should check out the bidding on Ebay…
