If anyone needs parts from the DX04 Bruce Lee shoot me a message. I have a regular that I'm going to part out.

The Game of Death track suit sold in Hong Kong was a 100% fake - and they were addressed about this before the auction started, but went ahead anyway unfortunately. Even with clear evidence presented by the club chairman of the Bruce Lee Club in Hong Kong.

...notice the sewing seam on each side which was not present in the photograph below of Bruce and Kareem in the original "Game of Death" suit worn by Bruce Lee....

...proof that the sleeves was not 3/4 long, but a full arm long....​

I even believe that the nunchakus, the bamboo stick and most of the items sold that day was not the real thing.

another attemp on jointless resculpt,i think it's turn out great
what you guys think? ref:the bog boss final scene

here''s my process of jointless custom body
- set the body as your favorite pose.
- glue all of the joints
- sculpt over the joint with epoxy
- checking with surface color
- sanded off some sculpt defect
- and repaint all of the body + add on sweaty effect

finished !!!!

That is really awesome work you done there 30cm ! When looking at the pictures in your first posting I though they were done in Photoshop - but I was wrong... I wish I had your talent and the equipment to do this

By the way, how would this work with the soft body in the 3rd. Enterbay "Game of Death; Behind the Scenes" release ? I am guessing it will be a very difficult task as it would be different material (hard and soft), unless you cover the whole body with a hard surface coating ?

I asked him this question privately (well in regards to using the Hot Toys DX body) and he said he can't do with the later bodies that have the rubber torso sleeve. Bummer !

 

[GungFu]

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanx SAB

That looks fantastic! Well done, my friend. I'm not into Bruce Lee but I like checking out his figures.

Wow. They're obviously different. Its amazing it sold for what it did. I tell you what it would take a lot more than some dude just saying it was Bruce Lees for me to lay down that kind of cash. I would very much question the integrity of that auction house.

Wow, what a shame that people feel the need to scam others.

Was the buyer someone here and how much did it go for?

What makes this an even bigger scandal is that the vice chairman of Chinese auction house Spink who was responsible and did the auction was confronted about this before the auction day - but she totally disregarded the clear evidence, saying that "a man's word" has worth more than the evidence presented....

 

[mrchris]

[Lawrence]

A collector friend of mine Jeff Chinn (who lives in San Francisco) actually owns one of the two blue silk Kung Fu suit that Bruce used in one of the scenes in the beginning of "Enter the Dragon". These scenes were filmed in several takes so two suits were used. Some untrue rumours where spread on the internet in recent years that it was not the actual suit that Jeff had in possession since Linda had two, but it simply not true. Both suits were soaked with Bruce's sweat, and Linda basically keep one and auctioned off the other one at the Bruce Lee Estate Superior Auction Galleries auction back in 1993 where Jeff bought it.

It has been displayed at the Warner Bros. Studios Museum since 1998, and also at a few other events for Bruce Lee fans view it.

Awesome GF!

 

[Lawrence]

Things are more interesting in the Bruce Lee threads when GungFu is around.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Agreed Lawrence.

I wonder if GF's collector friend tried that BL outfit on himself. I know I would!

 

[GungFu]

Here you go Y4NK33 PL4N3T.

I was thinking it would be cool for you guys to see another type of collector. Jeff has one of the biggest and most impressive collections of Bruce Lee stuff - both authentic and other stuff like magazines, books, figures, etc. He has his own Bruce Lee Room - in which he has his collection displayed.

He likes to invite Bruce Lee fans when they are in town to come over to have a look. I have been there once back in 2006. This is more up my alley as most of you know, but I still think figure collecting (also non-Bruce Lee related) is really cool
