Wah
Super Freak
yeah, um, i'm gonna have to get this. I've been waiting for one single ultimate BL piece to add to my collection, and I think this might be that one piece. beautiful, beautiful piece!
Not only his eyes are off. His face should be slimmer too because he was really thin in game of death. I'm gonna pass because it's just too big for me. EB's 1/4 bruce lee has still the best likeness in the market imo.
They should have this next to a 1/6 and 1/4 Lee so we can get a better idea of size.
And there hasn't been much talk of the base yet. The base is AMAZING!
I think for $600 its a no brainer for me really ....
not feeling the more expensive gold base
I so want an accurate figure/statue/sculpt of this guy.I'm a Jackie Chan guy myself
You might have already explained it yourself here (kinda):Not saying you are wrong can you explain why you think the WOTD EB one is better because I honestly can't see it?
I was looking at my WotD figure at different angles, & comparing it to these 'Game Of Death' pics. I guess, like you said, when the WotD sculpt hits that certain sweet spot in angle & lighting, this 'Game Of Death' sculpt doesn't have a pic that I see better, where likeness is concerned. Well, that's the opinion I'm throwing out there today, not sure how I'm going to feel tomorrowYou are not crazy both this sculpt and the Enterbay one sculpted by Scuderia have their faults and strengths. However, IMO the EB one doesn't look much like Bruce Lee as it has beady eyes and a very wide smooth face with lack of bone structure. Nevertheless, this one is not exactly a home run either as the chin is too long and the face looks too masculine but you can tell it is Bruce, unlike EBs, which looks like the GOD stunt double IMO. However, on certain angles Scuderia's one is practically dead on (Arnies is never dead on from any angle) but from front on I see no resemblance . So like I said before both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Where we again disagree. I actually think the battle damaged HT sculpt is the better of the setI honestly don't understand how anyone could think the ETD Hot Toys looks like Bruce Lee. Well... I guess the non screaming one looks a bit like Bruce Lee.
I still think this statue looks like https://www.nndb.com/people/836/000025761/
anyway congrats to those who buy it...
It's not 100% accurate, but it is pretty impressive. One thing that EB hasn't exactly got right (to me), in the production runs on their last few Bruce Lee collectibles, are the eyebrows. They seem too light, or not thick enough or something. Brings the likeness down I think.
haha i don't see the similarities. I think the eyes are the most important part of a headsculpt and this statue doesn't have that down.

the head is terrible..but that is not the only thing that really ticks me off about this statue...also..pose is boring..base is too big..
blitzway expects us to drop $699 in a weeks notice right in the middle of SDCC, on a statue that is not even spot on in likeness but and they also don't even offer a payment plan or pre-order deposit only...
really get over yourselves blitzway with this try hard bruce lee statue
PASS!!

It seems normal for peeps to have such varying opinions with Bruce Lee collectibles. Like here:

With all that said though. If I relax my focus on likeness, I think for now, this might be the best mass produced Bruce Lee collectible so far. I think the full body pic looks so good.
This would look great in any Bruce Lee collection...I think the likeness is definitely there, although I expected it to be better when Arnie Kim is involved. I want to get it but the shipping to Australia is going to cost a fortune! It's 14kg!
Should I get this or wait till Enterbay shows prototype for 1/4 Bruce Lee due in November? Tough choice....
Depends if you prefer figures to statues. Some people are totally against statues so they won't buy this. If you would rather a figure then I would wait for Enterbay to produce their Bruce Lee.
