You need a house mate.
I have a big lock on my man cave door

Totally had to re-read your post! Phew, thats what i though you said!

Fantastic likeness i think everyone will agree. My only concern would be finding a display case for this because similar to my Wolverine LSF, the yellow fabric could be easily tarnished with spilt drink, food, etc...and so would definately need to be protected as i'd imagine it would be a paint to get out!

I totally agree, as I am probably the biggest Arnie Kim Bruce Lee fan here on the boards. However, I am sure not everyone would agree on this having great likeness and I can see where they are coming from. The protruding bottom jaw and the bulky masculine face does bother me but not enough to prevent me from buying this piece.

However, im pretty sure i heard that the outfit can be fully removed so i guess you could have it washed in a worse case scenario

Oh geeze, I hope it never comes to the point where I don't have to wash it.

it might fit on the bottom of my ikea detolf,depends how accurate . blitzways specs are.would'nt like to try it on a glass shelf though,rather heavy methinks.i have wall space,hence shelf,or on top of detolf,again it depends on the specs being correct.

Yeah the only problem I have with it being on the bottom shelf is... well... its the bottom shelf! I want this up high to admire. I am not sure how I am going to get around this.

agree sculpt aint perfect,but will look stunning in my collection,after I sort where he's going

Really? i thought the headsculpt looked amazing and totally realistic!

 

[mrchris]

sculpt is realistic but rather ''chubby'' for bruce. I think it needed to be thinner from the cheekbones down.just my opinion..i could say a better expression would have been better.but arnie sculpted him as is

The face needs to just be narrower as it is wide because the bone structure on his face is big in width thereby making the face wider and appearing chubby. However, you can see his cheek bones so you can't take anymore fat off him and thus, the face is not chubby but looks like it is nonetheless.

So you mean thinner cheek bones rather then the big wide ones he has now right?

 

[mrchris]

I think from the cheekbones down his face/jaw line needs to be thinner,if that makes sense.

Ok I think you mean that the jaw needs to be more defined. Ok after having a look at several pics again of this figure I would have to agree. His face should look lean like this, with a real defined Jaw line.



The angles on the statues jaw are too round and not sharp like this.

 

[mrchris]

you beat me too it just about to post same pic.yeah bruce had a defined jaw.that would be a better choice of sculpt expression too.if your reading arnie

 

[Darkavatar]

you beat me too it just about to post same pic.yeah bruce had a defined jaw.

Yeah in both GOD, WOD and ETD he did.

So when you think of it, this statue is a bit strange as it has prominent cheek bones but no defined jaw. So its more like he has masculine face rather than a lean one.

 

[mrchris]

yeah looks more like a pre 72 bruce. prior to him losing 20+lbs.

Hmm maybe overall it is does look more like a pre 72 Bruce, at least from a distance and from front on. However, if u really look at his facial bone structure up close I think it looks closer to the way he looked in GOD IMO. At least going by these pictures of the statue from these angles.

can someone do a comparison pic so to see the differences a bit more clearer please

 

[mrchris]

not the best,just a quick cut and paste job.
think it stretched it too

This would be a good comparison pic because it is on the same angle, if only there was a closer up version of it.

The trouble is with this statue all the close up shots are not front on they are all on angles.

interesting to see how you'll be able to change the right arm? Looks like you'll have to remove the clothing?

Enjoy it for what it is guys.
Looks cool to me.

That would be a hassle if right. I'm guessing it's as simple as rolling up the sleeve a bit to switch arms. Only a guess though

 

[mrchris]

zipper on the back of the suit (see pics).or as larry said roll up them sleeves
