From Enterbay Official Facebook page:

Good day people! Just a quick one to share the hottest news with you! We are very exciting to announce about our latest product line: BLACK LABEL, the 1/6 scale Premium Statue collection.

The reason why this collection will be premium is not because it will cost you a fortune to buy them. It's simply because they will be in the best quality and made in the most professional way. The BLACK LABEL collection will all be done in a "One Man One Masterpiece" manner, which means, instead of making the product like the usual factory-chain system, we are going to have one professional trained craftsman to handle the product from the start until it is finished. From paint application to quality assurance; they will also sign off a certificate with serial numbers for each masterpiece that they have created.

BLACK LABEL will start off with our favorite hero Mr. Bruce Lee. Stay tuned for more details this summer

If you have any questions you would like to ask, leave us a message!

And we already have some teaser pics of the Bruce Lee 1/6 Statue body

Awesome. Can't wait to see what they do here.

Not clear, but also sounds like it may be simply 'Bruce Lee' and not one of his movies.

Too much to hope for that we also get the goatee beard look on the sculpt ?

 

[Lawrence]

This summer? Wow, sweet. Hang on. Does that mean this will come out before the Big Boss & FoF figures?

What does "one man, one masterpiece" mean? Sounds like one person will be on paint duty, one will be on tailoring duty, one will be on ..... etc.

Crap that's cool. Although I'd like to see someone other than Bruce Lee for a change lol

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Statues are not my thing, but would love to see what they do.

By the sound of it Bruce will be the first in the line with other characters/licenses to follow.

Nope, do BL until you get it right EB

I'm not satisfied enough with the quality of any mass produced BL figure/statue ever released. By any company. Yeah you heard right. Ever released

One person painting 5000 statues?? Not likely.

I almost think there's an extra '0' in there. 5,000 is a huge number to call 'limited'.

5000 is pretty much the standard no. of units EB used to produce for their limited lines. And they all came with individually numbered certificates. Plus honestly we cannot really say whats really going on behind the scene.

I dont think One person painting 5000 is what is meant. I believe what is meant that instead of say 100 painters doing the line. There will be say a select 10 painters who are the most skilled of the lot who are chosen to do it. But that too is speculation. Honestly lets just wait and see the final production pics...

Thanks for the heads up

 

[xjamiex]

I wonder how much the prices on these will go...I'm thinking close to $400 knowing EB.

Yo xjamiex you deleted your thread? Maybe you could have merged it by the help of a mod? Anyway heres your post regarding some more information about the line. People wanting to know about the One Man One Masterpiece tagline will maybe have some doubts and questions answered:

I sincerely hope its not THAT much, but being a so called One Person hadcrafting one piece, the cost may be higher... but Surely i hope NOT $400, Enterbay Prices have actually come down quite a lot. Their Scarface's without shipping are actually priced at $170-$180 so was their Leon and the 1:4 T800 was actually $325 or so without shipping. Much cheaper considering what HT are charging with every passing month

 

[COSMOSTARX]

1/6 statues would be cool too.

Well we're not dealing with a total unknown here.

Their first 2 full body Bruce Lee statues were in the 1/4 HD line. They both had a retail price of $170 - no accessories, no articulation, and simple costume helps to keep the cost down a lot
(and those 2 statues were easily the best bargains in the modern market IMO....)

These are exactly the same thing but in a much smaller scale. Will be interesting to see what they believe their 'black label premium quality' is worth...

I think that even though they are dropping in scale, the price will probably go up and be at $200 for these.
...I'll be annoyed if they try to justify this 'premium' product being at $250 or above, which would put it $80+ over the much bigger statues.

I only closed my thread to make it life easier for the mods

I sincerely hope not that much either but EB are known for having ridiculous prices.

SUB 200 please enterbay.even 170 the same as the 1/4 statues would be ok..better start saving.this as well as big boss and 1/4 fist of fury..oh dear

 

[Ex-Parrot]

Interesting days ahead...

Some titbits from Bill's responses to some queries on weibo, (subject to change on his whims & fancies of cos)

- there will be no preorders taken & the product will be sold on a first come first serve basis when they are ready for release;

- scheduled release date - between May to June this year;

- limited to 5,000 pcs with serial no.s;

- hinted as a release along the lines of casual wear ver.s;

- releases in this series will be cheaper than their 1/6 figure releases even though every stage of production will be handcrafted (A team where each specialist is in charge of one area only eg. painting, preparing accessories, packaging etc.), no further elaboration;

I'm hoping these are essentially 1/6 premium formats, although if that's the Bruce Lee, that's a pretty basic pose. I'd think they'd go for something more dramatic. And you can use real cloth, but perhaps glue it down so that it folds more realistically. I'm very curious to see what they come up with - but I'll second the motion on "enough Bruce Lee already."
