That isn't the newest EB BL I hope. The paint app is not too good, IMO. Looks like he's doing Chinese opera with that powdery white face and crimson red blush. >_<

old one 
It was not posable from the waist up. It was also the only one with real hair. He did a nice photo essay with it on a large diorama at the time.
Also, I'm not sure what gives with the paint on the ETD version B. Mine doesn't look like that, like blush make-up. I think the photo is too contrasty.

According to Arnie it is ETD. Maybe a 1/4.... Not 100 % sure yet though.
LOL he's spending his spare time creating new Bruce Lee heads that aren't even for new figures !?
Lucky I don't want the DX Indiana Jones or Superman, but I might now wander over to those threads and post this just to see people lose their freaking minds

I don't know it this is an old sculpt, or whatever...
We can't assume anything; but if he's working on these now, and we still havent seen a Supes, then what the hell they are doing over at HT?
Then it will confirm to me that all Arnie is, is a one trick pony.

Arnie stated in the comments accompanying this picture that this is his most recent Bruce Lee sculpt and is for his personal collection. So it IS a new sculpt...
Arnie first of all is an artist, and he can do whatever he wants and whenever he wants. Its Hot Toys who think he is good enough to be on their payroll, your opinion doesnt bother their decisions.
ALSO dont mind but you have been for a long time bashing anything that has Arnie Kim/Enterbay attached to The Bruce Lee line... almost bordering being a troll... This is no way to respect any artist or the people who bring out products you will enjoy for a long time... They arent cheating you or stealing your money. You are handing it to them...

Was just searching through a few sites and it looks like the new Enterbay GOD Bruce Lee is going to cost $300+ is this going to be the new standard for Enterbays Bruce Lee line?!

The MSRPs for EBs Bruces have jumped around a bit, hard to say whether the GoD represents a yardstick for future releases.

At first I misunderstood your question - as I thought you meant if Enterbay has set a new standard in terms of realism, or taking it to the next standard/level, etc. But to answer you question about the higher price which in a way also covers what I thought you where asking - which I have thought about for some time - is that the next step I hope that Arnie Kim or any other figure artist - which now Mr YJ Park has done - would take is to match the realism and the likeness of the actual body of Bruce Lee and a “full skin” body (no visible figure joints). Bruce was known for his unique and beautiful physic and perfect body symmetry - and like the face, bodies are also different and unique that need to be matched and taken seriously in the future. I think that the new GOD figure the body looks more like Bruce’s but the smiling head sculpt is not as perfect as Arnie’s new smiling head, and I am sorry to say that the more serious looking head sculpt does not fully convince me. Having that said I still think YJ Park has done a wonderful job, and I am seriously thinking about buying it when it comes out as it has some very unique positive sales points when it comes to the likeness of the body and non visible joints. Though I have to add that the price of US$ 300+ is in my opinion really allot for just a figure (I feel that this price is more for the really hard core figure fans, than for the hard core Bruce Lee fan), and Enterbay Ltd. and Mr. YJ Park really have to meet and even go above the high expectations they have set. But I am very positive and exited about this release

I just can't justify pulling the trigger on this one. I can get it for around $320 shipped, about what I paid for the two MIS Bruces... but the EB package doesn't do enough to convince me that it's worth the money. It really makes the DX04 seem like a bargain, especially if you were lucky enough to get the exclusive.

I think the smiling sculpt is just as good as Arnie's new one. The're both very different expressions.
Arnie's HTs sculpt is Bruce relaxed and smiling.
YJ Park's new GoD sculpt is the character mocking his opponent and sarcastically smiling at him as he whips him with bamboo.
I agree about the serious head sculpt...I just don't know whats going on there. Doesn't really look like Bruce to me. I think this one is being altered though as its advertised as a battle damaged head sculpt and the only pics shown so far have no blood or bruising.
The new seamless muscle body looks amazing. The big reason I didn't buy the Hot Toys DX is the ugly joints.
But if Hot Toys have given up on seamless bodies because of their difficulties, I question how Enterbay can pull it off ....and I don't see Enterbay as a company that cares about the customer and what'll happen to these bodies after being displayed for 2 years, even if initially they are great.
Also, I don't think the new GoD set is overpriced considering the real wooden diorama and all the accessories ...I just think a lot of people including myself don't care about all the movie accessories. I'd much rather have the price dropped to $250 and all the movie props taken out.
Maybe they'll show something for this month. Wasn't it scheduled to be relased later this month?
There is a pic comparing the HT BL body and the old Enterbay BL body. If you thought that the EB looked good, the HT one looks way better, makes the Enterbay one look very toyish. Almost allof the joints are located in the same paces, except for the wrist in HT and forearm in EB. I tell you because when I got the FoF I was amazed at how good it looked without the shirt, but after seeing those pics, you can really tell how the craftsmanship just keeps improving.

Yeah I was surprised with the comparison pics. The Hot Toys one did look more realistic and the Enterbay one much more 'toyish'
...but either way I'm done with visible joints.
I'm interested in a Game of Death figure (whether it be HT or EB) and the casual Bruce Lee figure because they'll both hide the joints
