Just bringing this back up high as I think this figure to be the best overall of 2006.
To me that is.

(And I don't even own one! :lol )

I agree Les,it's not the cheapest item I've bought,especially as I had to pay an extra £40 customs charge but it's easily my favorite 1/6 figure of 2006 and probably any other year for that matter. I originally only intended to buy 1 of the Enterbay Bruce Lee figures due to the price but I'm now planning on getting the Way Of The Dragon,Big Boss & Fist Of Fury versions and at least 1 of the 3 Enter The Dragon figs as well. Enterbay have made a stunning debut and if they can get a few more licenses along with Bruce Lee they could easily become a big player in the 1/6 figure world.
 
I love the Enter the Dragon figures. I will have to pick one of those up....
 
so i've heard the next one in the series will be even more expensive than the GOD but will they all come w/ dioramas like the GOD fig?
 
The Game Of Death "battle damage" version is going to be more expensive than the first one even though it doesn't come with the diorama and it's also supposed to have a new head sculpt but I'm not sure whether the Way Of The Dragon Bruce which is set to come out in March will cost any more.
It will have a diorama but again I don't know what it will be,probably part of the Coliseum or the alleyway behind the restaurant where he does the double nunchaku sequence I should think.
 
Still looking for :

71-73' Hong Kong posters (no way , no how...looked for 8 yrs , only seen EtD)
73' Boss It poster (full sz'd poster)
73' Fist Ger poster (German re-releases had tagline "Ein echter BL")
78' Way Turk poster/lobbys (not easy to find but not super rare)

Hope you like it :emperor

Sadly completing 1st print posters/lobbys/flyers from Hong Kong , Germany & Italy is very very difficult...often you can only find 2-3 cards once or twice a yr if at all , takes yrs to complete such sets...

Still looking for :

71' Boss Hong Kong poster (no way , no how...looked for 8 yrs)
73' Enter H.K. poster

Re: Enterbay Bruce Lee gOD Final Prototype

Sad really.

Some guy that really hurt martial arts thoughout the world is praised as a god.

Then you think about this guy:

...who kicked the "god's" a$$ and no one remembers.

I don't think you can really say Bruce Lee hurt the martial arts. Because of his enormous popularity, millions of people sought out martial arts. That explosion of interest revitalized Chinese martial arts in particular and almost certainly saved some styles from extinction.

Certainly not a god, but alot like the Beatles were to music.

Bruce Lee has done more for the martial arts world than anyone ever has. Grand Master Wong, not to be disrespected, but to say those things about BL is just appalling.

Really? As an example of 'what NOT to do' perhaps, but as an example to martial artists his influence was not positive. Consider that his breathing technique (which according to Master Wong would lead to an early death) is known world-wide as canon for martial artists. You can't workout anywhere that some idiot won't yell out like BL at the sight of martial arts practice.

Is that good? Helpful? Beneficial to martial arts in general??

...And then there is the whole problem of martial arts weaponnry in film. BL made that popular and in so doing helped make many of them illegal.

It took lots of tireless campaigning and lobbying by legitimate martial artists to keep even some of them legal.

Let's not forget also how stupid films have become with martial arts weaponry. Ancient Egyptian chicks fighting with Sai is just so cool, right?

Has BL helped anyone there?

No, not really, not at all.

Good comparison. I have seen interviews which rock 'n' roll and other music pioneers state the no one damaged popular music as much as the Beatles. Much of the popular music that immediately preceeded the arrival of the Beatles was thoughtful, intricate, and maturing on an artistic level. The Beatles are considered to have set music back as much as 20 years. Populism is rarely beneficial.

In that way, BL became popular after rejecting his roots and legitimate technique for flash and popularity.

After losing his way, he sought out Master Wong to prove himself. BL's first attempt at a challenge was rebuffed by a simple dismissal: "Go away little boy". The second caused BL to be laid out like a sack of potatos...by a single blow.

BL then begged to become Master Wong's student. Master Wong agreed. BL was warned about his incorrect breathing technique but, did not heed the warning. Chinese medicine and martial arts recognize the importance of correct breathing. BL didn't remember this.

Let's also not forget the importance of Monk Dah Mo (SP?) (Bhodi Daruma). His is the basis for all major styles of martial arts, as he started the Shaolin Temples. While there were other fighting styles; without him there would not be the scholastic structure we recognize today. Much more would have been lost.

As for the millions of people sought out martial arts. They just as quickly sought other kinds of diversion. It is hard work. It is a way of life. It is not a hobby or amusement. Self-discipline is never a popular pursuit. If it were; the entire world would be a different (better) place.

When people learn that martial arts are not really about the fighting, they are all too happy to leave.

I don't see a lot of discipline in those millions; I see lots of people that don't even know how to wear their uniforms...including the teachers! I see lots of egos who need to receive awards and giant trophies. I see lots of people teaching punching and kicking but nothing about how to manage the techniques.

Do you really see anything different than this? Did BL help improve the situation or help make it what it is today?

BTW, BL is well known for regularly getting his butt kicked by stuntmen in retribution for not having control of his technique. He is known to have injured several people. Imagine that...a god without control even of his own body.

A God? Hardly.

Are you f-in kidding me , the stuntmen couldn't even get near enough before spitting teeth , just ask Henry Wong or Bruces secretary Madelena Chan who witnessed it on set of Enter the Dragon.

Even Sammo Hung got to experience the speed of Lee....which genuinely left him scared (fyi Sammo lip scar was caused by a bottle....he was a real fighter not some punk wannabe)

Umm , martial arts more or less originated in India but is now mostly forgotten.....
