Just got my set. Had to contact Enterbay about a missing button:
Really amazing figures. Don't know what the eyes are made of, but their reflections are very lifelike. Sorry about fuzzy pictures. No time to set up the tripod today.

GOB, nice shots. thanks! got any reply from enterbay yet?
which of the two versions are you liking more?
No its 2,its 3 if you count with the Medicom version...
I cant rank these 2,since youre forced to buy both,because the Version A doesnt have the extra posing Hands.
I would go for version A if the different hands were included.

I placed an order a few days ago directly through Enterbay for both. I can't choose between the 2 of them and ETD is the best movie he ever did so...what the heck.
Can't wait for the Kato version later this year.

Is it me or does the GOD and WOTD just look so-so compared to these ETD? Enterbay keeps outdoing themselves with each new release it seems.

Can't wait for mine to get here.
Just got word from my retalier that my Jet Li is shipping soon.
Talk about delay
These will probably get here in time for summer :chew
You're gonna enjoy the Jet Li figure, I hope EB release more pieces like him
Tell me about it.....I'm loving Enterbay more and more after each release and I definitely love the detail they put into their packaging
I know I keep saying I'll be offline and then managing to post, but this time it's real. I'll be gone through Sunday. But I want to take this last gasp to offer some of my observations. Enterbay has not responded to my email yet, but they have a surprisingly small staff and are shipping a big twin product here. I'm sure I'll hear from them.
For anyone who previously made a reservation by email, if you followed up recently they instructed you to watch their website for the appearance of "Order Now" buttons. If you're waiting to hear from them, I recommend going to the website and ordering. Your order shouldn't be duplicated, because they had no payment info with the pre-order list. If you're ordering both, be sure to scroll down to find the combo offer; you'll save a little on shipping.
8thSam, I am a confirmed Arnie Kim nut from way back, and I think the "A" figure, with the closed mouth, is the Bruce Lee portrait that may be equalled in the future but will never be surpassed. The only thing left to do is variants, which is what "B" is. I like "B" very much. There are separately-molded teeth inside the mouth, and mine look a tad askew. It's a detail no advance photos showed, so for all I know it's accurate. You can't see it unless you really examine it. Otherwise, the proto pix of "B" have the eyebrows painted in a frown, but the production paint is exactly like "A" so that compromises the expression a bit. The hairpieces are distinct, separate sculpts, and both tend to pop off if you pose either figure looking upward, due to the length of the hair in the back. Since the BL body has BL's signature crouch-slouch, you may be tempted to pose him looking upward. The BL-2 body is completely painted, so those who acquire either figure should be careful never to fasten the clothing snaps by pressing them against the body. Press both halves of the snaps between your fingers.
The boxes swivel open in a manner reminiscent of the revolving mirror doors in the movie. When in the open position, there is a tray with the figure on one side, and another tray on the reverse with the accessories. If your box does not swivel easily, don't force it; it means the trays have jostled out of position during shipment. Maneuver them back into position (so you can't see them) and the door should swivel.
These are made to be looked at first and posed second, and with the level of detail in their manufacture, it really doesn't seem right to compare them to any other action figures. They demand to be judged on their own merits. That said, they are tough to pose compared with the figures we on this board are accustomed to. The master photo with all Arnie's prototypes features what has become figure "A" in the brown outfit, sitting cross-legged on the floor. I will have to make a closer examination of the stripped figure when time permits, but I don't think this pose is possible with the B-2 body. The hip joints won't rotate that far. The ankles on the BL-2 are more readily adjusted than those of the BL-1, but they are still hard to pose. The figure's weight makes it prone to falling over, and the figures do not come with stands.
So that's my quick-review. Next week I hope to do more photos and more poses, and maybe comparisons to my other Arnie BL acquisitions, which are pretty complete. Overall, ETD figures "A" and "B" are a new, fresh take on the likeness from a later point in his life than the WOTD figure, and at the same level of artistry, with the same moveable eye design. The GOD figure had the best diorama, but it was also the beta. Eye design and paint both improved a lot with WOTD, and ETD keeps that standard high.
Well, I'm back, and I see that I've managed to kill yet another thread.
Anyway, the day after my last post, I got an email from Enterbay telling me a replacement for the blue jacket is on its way.
