Pattni Imaginations and Chelsea FC have signed a deal that will see Chelsea-branded football action figures hit the market, including Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, John Terry and Florent Malouda.

This latest deal adds Chelsea to Liverpool FC and Manchester United in the Pattni range. The action figures will have movable heads, shoulders, arms, waists, legs, knees and ankles.

"We now have three of the world football's biggest teams signed on for this new range," says Mayur Pattni, Pattni Imaginations' managing director. "The World Cup is nearly upon us so football's profile is sky high and there couldn't be a better time to be working on this fantastic product. We expect a huge reaction when the range is launched later this year."
