Original smiling Bruce Lee head sculpt - Arnie Kim's best work !

[GungFu]

Hey guys,

I am just making a quick visit to the forum. Hope all is well

I wanted to share something really cool that happened to a good buddy of mine in New York, USA. He got the most awesome surprise gift ever: The original prototype of the smiling face head sculpt that Arnie Kim made a few years ago ! He is a good friend of Arnie, and his birthday is coming up so Arnie wanted to surprise him.

This head sculpt is in my opinion the VERY BEST ever made. There is really nothing that could or should be done to improve it in any way. Arnie absolutely nailed it 100% ! I think allot of collectors - including myself - would have loved to have gotten this, and I am sure that Arnie have probably gotten a few offers. But Arnie is a true artist and a gentleman - and will never sell out. He is just an awesome, down-to-earth guy !

Great sculpt ....but I'm more excited about this rare Gung Fu sighting


...also, I guess this means we'll never see Blitzway use the prototype ...disappointing, was hoping to see a 1/3 Way of the Dragon statue with this.

''rare gung fu sighting''.I think blitzway's next BL 1/3 may be an ETD it would make sense as arnies later sculpts were ETD based
and it's bruces most famous movie..but who knows.

I've witnessed Haley's Comet more often than GungFu posting

Can you imagine if Enterbay released sculpts like this all the time? Sigh.

Thank you guys for your warm welcome back

How cool is that present. I'd put all my BL collectibles I own in the bin for that sculpt

Hey Peer. Good to see you posting again, even if it is a temporary thing.

I would also throw away all my Bruce Lee figures just to own this accurate and beautiful piece... However I am glad that it got a worthy home

By the way, things seems to be better here now - hopefully no more drama and shait... I think collecting should be about sharing, being supportive and help others.
