Custom: Rumble In the Bronx - Jackie Chan Figure!

[Dr. Acula]

Lots and lots of kit-bashing as of late. Thought I'd work on one of my all time favourites!






I'm still ironing out a few kinks with this one, but so far I'm very happy with it.

Your thoughts, comments and suggestions for improvement are appreciated.

Really nice

 

[Dr. Acula]

Thanks man! Getting there.

 

[Snake Plissken]

That's pretty damn good.

Much appreciated Snake! Next up will be Dirty Harry. Though he's still not post-worthy at the moment.

Where did you get a Jackie head from?

Oh alright. I see it was made in the vein of his movie "Who am I?" That's my favorite flick of his.

It's a solid flick, indeed! "Rumble" was the first JC film I saw as a kid, and I remember it just blew my mind, as it still does.
As soon as I saw this HS up for sale I bought it without hesitation, of course. And aside from the sculpt, I had everything else minus
the shoes in my parts bin. A few more tweaks to get it perfect but so far, so good.

Awesome.

 

[Dr. Acula]

Awesome.

Many thanks, brother! And I'm loving the Hendrix avatar! If that's one of your own, then that as well is awesome!! Hendrix is the reason I picked up a guitar and have never put it down for the last 23 years.

I really should watch Jackie's Hong Kong work. I've only seen Police Story.

 

[mrchris]

is that the zc toys 005 Asian body your using??I got one for a bruce lee bash,but found it too tall,and the arms a bit big compared with my other BL figures.(unless your using another body) either way looks really good(someone should do a JC figure)

Police Story is a solid flick, and a very good start to his Hong Kong stuff. If you get the chance, give part 2 & 3 (aka, SuperCop) a go. I would classify that series as essential cinema.

Yessir, it is. For a Bruce-bash, I can see the 005 being a bit too big all around, for sure. I even find it a little too large for JC, though I believe he was a few inches taller than Bruce so in that regard it works well. The arms could be a tad slimmer as well, as I find they are very similar to the ZC emulated ttm19 clone.
All the same, not too shabby for rooting around in the parts bin! I might look into the Enterbay Donnie Yen body, and see if that could work. I also completely agree on an official JC figure. I'd buy that for a dollar!!

I agree with all you said.it's a pity EB don't sell the bruce bodies on their own anymore.the days of trying to find a cheap(on evilbay anyway)body like a ht casual/suit bruce body are long gone.i heard that some KO (HT looking)bruce bodies will surface in the future.will wait and see.

A pity indeed. I as well am a huge BL fan. Many, many figures and even a JKD symbol tattooed on my left shoulder in honor of the man, whilst reflecting my own beliefs. I should share with you what I have AF-wise actually. You'd dig it.
In terms of the other bodies coming out, you are right, we will have to wait and see. Too bad Bruce's body type is so specific and doesn't quite lend itself to any multi-use bash-body. I guess at the moment for accuracy sake, we will all have to spend the money on either the HT casual/ETD, or EB bodies. Wherever in the hell you can find one for a decent price these days is beyond me!
