Looks a little off. Enterbay still reign supreme when it comes to Bruce Lee.

Definitely more pictures are going to be needed before knowing if this is a potential purchase. Enterbay's version is darn spectacular, but having one from Enter the Dragon would be a nice addition to the collection. The funny/sad thing is that Hot Toys is starting to ease their prices toward Enterbay's level.

EDIT... I didn't see the extra link at first. The pictures are there. Whoops.
Well... the pictures do give it a "close" to great appearance, but I agree with AsOneDead. The likeness is just slightly off compared to releases by Enterbay. There's something about the nose that just doesn't look right. Certain angles do look much better than others though. I'm probably being too picky. Pricing will have a big impact on potential purchase.

It's just off.. But the no. of extra's are huge.. and the diorama's too.. almost 3 outfits..2 heads..

Hmm.. I dunno if the body is better.. It looks more buff n detailed definitely.. but i liek how natural the enterbay looks, right offa those pics, the HT looks a little stiff.
There's no beating HT's paint job though..
I know it's the proto.. but.. lessee.. I still can't justify it yet..

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Not a bad effort. I think the non-cuts face is the better likeness of the two, great set of accessories, but I feel the body is a bit too heavy handed in the muscles.



I'll wait on this one I think. The Hot Toys site says it is an Enter the Dragon licence... I wonder if they will do Han, Roper, and Williams?
