Statue Blitzway- Bruce Lee 40th Anniversary Tribute Statue (1/3 Scale)

[Darkavatar]

you are correct aeumuse,although it's very faint at the start you don't really see it until bruce poses with the nunchuks when it all of a sudden it really shows up..
notice how he's wearing adidas trainers with different stripes also
no doubt the bruise was from the floors below...non filmed

At what point of the fight scene are the shoes different, they look the same time?

 

[mrchris]

im sure the ''custom'' people will cast the whole head/neck piece that's fits into the shoulder joint.as shown in the photos/videos.but yeah I wouldn't break it either.just speculation by me of course

 

[mrchris]

when he picks up the stick off the floor and dances back there is 3 black stripes on the sneakers.and in a couple of other places in the movie.apparently bruce did this with some adidas trainers for the movie..by sticking black tape on them.

O I am sure they would but yeah not comfortable about breaking the statue for a more accurate head. Although it is an easy fix I guess.

Arn't there suppose to be three black stripes on the sneakers? What's different about them? I am not doubting u as I can't notice any difference but what u said has got me intrigued. Just can't see it in the footage I have, guess I need to what an HD version of it.

 

[mrchris]

notice how the stripes differ. he also wore white ones in some stills with kareem.
theres only 2 vertical-ish stripes
tape was apparently used,cant remember if it was for the stripes,or was it yellow to cover the white toe piece.....
I'm getting too old for all this

Thanks for the pics, yeah I know he also wore white shoes for BTS shots with Kareem, particularly the ones where Kareem is shirtless.

I think I know what u mean. There are three stripes it's just that the first stripe goes past the horizontal stripe all away around the shoe, thus making only two stripes that end when they meet the horizontal stripe that goes all away around the shoe. Whereas in the first pic the pattern is different as there are three distinct vertical stripes that don't pass through the horizontal one that is around the shoe. Is that right?

 

[mrchris]

yeah pretty much.if I remember correctly bruce wore adidas trainers as well as the tigers in general I'm sure he wore white ones with blue stripes somewhere.
but don't quote me on that.anyway enough on sneakers,where's me statue!!

 

[aeumuse]

Yeah but that bruise looked a lot more subtle to the one painted on this statue, so subtle I could not even tell he had a bruise until someone pointed it out.

Whatever rocks your boat man. I'm just saying I doubt Arnie or Blitzway would make a mistake such as putting a wound (screen accurate or not) on Bruce's right cheek when there wasn't.

Dunno about you guys, I have Bruce on my table & I'm loving him more with each passing day. I hope you get yours very soon mrchris, even if you feel his expression lets you down, the presentation of this piece as a whole is simply so outstanding that he may just grow on you more as it did with me.

 

[mrchris]

ive no doubt it will. but looking at the gif above see how the grin/smirk could take the sculpt to another level.regarding the bruise
I think it's just a continuity error by bruce subtle at first then very prominent later without getting hit,it is what it is.

God I wish I had this pose in 1/3 scale !!

 

[mrchris]

start breaking and bending the statue SAB.seriously I hear what saying.how awesome would that be.

Hi all

Just received mine the other day and I'm not impressed by the quality of it.

1. First I tried to pose with the nunchucks under the armpit. The heavier end of the nunchucks has the magnet, and when I place it under the armpit it isn't strong enough to connect there. I can feel the magnet force but I can't make it connect. I've tried all up, down, middle, twirled it around, and it still can't connect. Tried the other side of the nunchucks and that definitely wasn't the magnet end. Is it meant to stick on just like that? I spent like 30 minutes trying.

2. After the first failed attempt I then went for the other arm pose where he holds the nunchucks freely. I connected the arm first which was fine, but as soon as I placed the nunchucks in the hand, the arm connection was getting looose. I readjusted the arm but it kept getting loose. I left it as it is, then literally 10 seconds later the arm fell off and hit the base. Now one of the bloody fingers snapped off. So then I had to duct tape the arm joint for it to stay firm. I tried again the next day without duct tape and it seemed to stay connect fine, just not as loose as the previous day. I also want mention I tried placing both ends of the nunchuck in the hand when the arm was loose.

3. The little shaped edges on the base is really flimsy. I swear I skimmed the corner and one of the pieces just broke off. Just my luck. I inspected some of the other pieces near the one that just broke and they aren't solidly stuck on as well.

I've posted a video on YouTube so let me know if I'm doing anything wrong? https://youtu.be/B34WeooeN5Q

I've sent a email to the store I bought it from so hopefully I can get a replacement. Not so sure how that will go with the finger snapped off. Thoughts on this?

Oh man! Sorry to hear that. I heard that the tip of the nunchuck is supposed to come off so that it can snugly fit under the armpit? Not sure. Anyone else can verify this?

Hi
1. You might need to find out which side of nunchaku for arm, and armbit.
2. One side of nunchaku, you can split it into 2 parts, so it can fit into hand easily

 

[dme3o]

There you go! That's what I was talking about!

Oh, And your statue is total junk. I think you should just throw it away. Actually, give it to me and I will dispose of it for you properly!!
Hehehe.

Was just going to post this.

Magnet is only in one chuck. And you've got to search around a little. I thought mine was broken/missing magnet for a minute or so until I suddenly felt the familiar 'magnet grab' as the two part connected. Its now been magnetically stuck there for almost a week with no issue.

One end of the other chucks comes apart at a seam to get it into and out of the hand easily.

 

[dme3o]

Guys, if you watch the vid, the magnet side doesn't stay connected to the armpit well enough. Seems like the magnet isn't strong?

 

[Nipshank]

I actually ordered this a couple weeks ago, received an email that they would send me a paypal invoice and still haven't received it...guessing they forgot? Previously the size was questionable on this for me, but now after reading this I think it will be a pass.
What's everyone's thoughts on the Enterbay 1/4's, not the one that can be posed but the Enter the Dragon or the 70th anniversary Lat Pose. I want a Bruce Lee statue, just not sure which one to get now.

 

[dme3o]

Blitzway 1/3 mate. Can't go wrong.

So I unscrewed the nunchuck with the magnet inside. It was able to stick to the armpit. As soon as I screw the nunchuck case back on it's not strong enough to stick. Arghh !!!
