Blitzway- Bruce Lee statue by Arnie Kim... coming soon!

[nexus]

Hopefully there will be 1:6 figures in the mix. I already have BW's Scarface and their Carlito's Way is off the hook amazing. I was really hoping to see their take on Bruce Lee EtD fig sooner rather than later. I don't have any plans on starting another polystone line. Definitely good to see another producer getting in the mix. With HT off doing Iron Man and Batman, and Enterbay doing whatever it is they are doing, maybe BW can give us something new.

A good game of death figure and way of the dragon figure and I'd be ecstatic.

Enterbay has the 1/6 and 1/4 scale tied up for the foreseeable future.

Bruce Lee camp seems to be happy with Enterbay.

So that's why Blitzway will produce a scale bigger than 1/4

As my man on inside tells me!!!

 

[Russell1982]

That's actually a real shame. I've not been wowed by enterbays offerings and would love to see something from another company. And from what I've seen blitzway has been doing great work. Oh well, there goes my interest.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Mine too. Now if Enterbay just did Die Hard...

oh wow ...so we're looking at 1/3 or 1/2 scale statues?
So this is closer to Sideshow's Legendary Scale format than Premium Format. Awesome.

I could see myself selling almost everything just to have one giant 1/2 scale Arnie Kim Bruce Lee !

With the same characters and franchises over and over again. I don't see how that is having the market tied up. There are plenty of licenses these guys aren't hitting that are screaming for 1:6 lines -- Underworld, Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, Blade Runner, Mission Impossible, Bond, Die Hard, Ghostbusters, Troy, Gladiator, X-Men, Video Games, Musicians, etc. not to mention the licenses HT has abandoned like Rocky, Matrix, Avatar, Aliens, Godfather, Tron. Having another strong competitor in the 1:6 arena with HT, EB and Sideshow would be a good thing.
As for the larger scales, I don't think Sideshow's $2K 1:2 scalers are exactly setting the world on fire, and Cinemaquette seems all but out of the 1:3 arena. Maybe Blitzway thinks there's an opportunity with a lower price point, who knows. I guess we'll see once product starts being shown. Right now thought, I'm only planning on getting Carlito's Way.

He's referring to Enterbay having Lee in 1/6 and 1/4 locked up.

Well... if its a statue, i'm pretty sure its going to be Enter the Dragon.

Arnie did have a few completed ETD sculpts that seemed to be around 1/4 scale.

Hopefully, whatever scale they make, it will be a full body, or at least up to the waist. Not a huge fan of busts.. especially the ones with just the head and no arms.

All in all.. wonderful news ! This news made my day.

The last quality Bruce Lee movie figure release was nearly two years ago. The Big Boss remains untouched (although EB is supposedly working on a BB figure). Just about every past release is dated and could use an upgrade.

Talking 1/6 of course. Which doesn't look like happening from BW for the moment, but hopefully it'll spur EB into riding their money train a bit harder.

Well enterbay is getting ready to preview their 1/4 Way of the Dragon figure ...I believe it is end of November (27th maybe?) that images are supposed to go up ?

And we've seen protos for their 1/6 Big Boss as well. Sure that will be ready to show soon. Though probably after the 1/4 sales have trailed off.

 

[desisandy]

some pics would be nice.^^ paint quality has improved so much, the early Bruce figs needs up graded i guess?

 

[leafster]

Nice work by Blitzway, looking forward to their work.

 

[Hamanu]

I wish they moved onto previously unexplored licenses...

 

[COSMOSTARX]

I'm sure we well see more Bruce Lee stuff.

Shannon Lee has been going in hard with merchandise sales. $35 tee shirts? Lol

Unexplored licenses are just a way to bulid up your company in order to gain the chance to do Batman, Bruce Lee and Terminator.

Agreed. The 1/6 scale market is one of the lamest figure markets out there. For all these companies and skill in the field it is incredible how unoriginal and uninteresting license choices almost always are. At the very least strive to do characters not yet done. And companies wonder why the custom market is so huge for 1/6 stuff. It's because it's the only way we will ever see any of these things. Hell there isn't even a Jackie Chan figure.

i'd have a high quality bruce statue (again) i wonder if arnie will do a removable head (he did show 2 protos),not saying they were for this,but you never know.i know some of the recent kato statue came with 2 heads.
