Yes Alex, this is a must have for me as well since I don't have any Bruce Lee figure before. If HT can change a bit of the muscle lines of the chest and forearms, that will be much better and looks natural :)
yeah desmond, when enterbay produce their Bruce Lee, you can so tell that they are just milking the license and doing all kinds of stupid things (marketing ploys) to sell more figures whereas Hot Toys just need to release ONE figure and I'm sold. i only bought the Game of Death Bruce Lee from Enterbay because it was offered at a very good price but has since avoided all of Enterbay's Bruce Lee stuff like the plague. I'm so glad Hot Toys has come out and shown enterbay how it should be done :> Hot Toys All The Way
Luckily didn't buy the BL figure from Enterbay's Fist of Fury (almost almost and almost bought it).
At the price the shop is selling, think it should be able to get 2x of HT's Bruce Lee. Hopefully the HT's price wouldn't be too expensive, will definitely get one for my collection, who wouldn't right? Furthermore he's the 1st Chinese to show the world, he can kick some 'ang mo kau's and 'jepun kia's asses.......with style.
Now time to convince my wife..
It appears a provocation of Hot Toys to Enterbay. I already have the Enterbay - Enter of Dragon B version, the same HTs are doing now and I am not sure if I will buy this one. If it were Game of the Death, maybe I woul buy it. The Body sculpture is a little bit exagerated. And the headsculpt could be better.
For fans of Bruce Lee is a good alternative compared to the expensive Enterbay line.
I am super excited to see this come out of HT. Seeing how I am new to the figure collecting scene I didn't get a chance at some of the other Bruce Lee figs. Now here it is and when I woke up at 1am this morning to check and see if they updated the facebook on my iphone I just about jumped out of my bed.
Pass on this one. Hopefully HT can improve on their headsculpt of Bruce Lee in their next production. Would be better if the figure got skin like King Leonidas.
hi ethan, enterbay's price puts me off their stuff. they dare charge so much for so little PLUS i was quite disappointed with their Jack Bauer figure (the only other EnterBay figure i got besides GoD BL).
HT's price has always been more affordable for the quality they are giving and the first two DX figures were alright in terms of pricing.
yeah Bruce Lee certainly showed those ang mohs and jepuns a thing or two ;p
hey supekudx glad you got yours already :) CHEERS
hiya BenM, now's a best time as any to start collecting as there are so many choices and options All the BESt with your collection
hey PWS, HT will most probably keep improving on the sculpt until its release. As for the body type, me thinks HT has moved away from the Leonidas type of body due to higher costs in producing it plus less articulation as compared with these new style bodies. Most of the new figures released since do not have the King's body type
when it comes to muscular bodies, i prefer King's body type. looks more real.
on ebay, got pre order for this figure at around $350. dunno whether the release prices will be around that....
Wow... this is a cool looking figure!
yup, can't wait to get my hands on this ;)
Pre Ordered for $240 total including shipping from eBay! I'm very excited about starting my collection with Bruce Lee!
hi
very cool website you have friend, congrats!
HT bruce lee is a must-have for me. Enterbay is too expensive for me but the headsculpt is better...yet. Anyway, it will be my 1st Bruce Lee figure, and second one from Enterbay (coll Mr Bean!).
Hi, I'm afraid I can't agree with most of you guys. I just can't get used to the HT figure, the face is just not good at all, unfortunately not as good as Enterbay's, especially the Enter the dragon B version, or the GOD (Nokia, or Behind the scene). Of course, the Enterbay are expensive, but the quality of both bodies and figures are really better. Can't compete I'm afraid... I'll wait for the next HT. Hope they'll improve now that Arny Kim has joined them.
