Nice, that figure is on my list of TFs to get. How much was it from BBTS, and any duties?

I hope so. It is just odd that Amazon out of all places has extra stock. I'm just more concerned about it being counterfeit or something. Considering it's shipped and sold by Amazon, it should be ok with returns if anything happens, right?

It just shipped today. I hope to find out soon. Is there any site online that tells you whether that figure has a counterfeit version and how to spot differences?

Yeah initially when I saw the product link I was like.. "ooo figma bruce lee!" Then I saw it and though the face was terrible.

If I ever get the urge, I'd get the Enterbay Bruce Lee or Ip man. Those look so bad ass.

Your link to the stop motion youtube video made me wanna make some (again). I made some using seiya figures back in like 2001 and were ultra cheesy lol. My problem now is that I don't have any generic bad guys haha. Nearly all figma or revoltech figures are of popular main characters. Maybe that's why that guy went with gundam characters haha.

I have both Enterbay Ip Man figures. Both have attributes. The old one has that magnetic shoes and wooden dummy. But the head sculpt looks a little outdated by today's standards. It only looks like Donnie Yen when you look at it from certain angles. Otherwise it looks kinda flat/double-chinned. The new one has a better updated head sculpt but still not perfected. I find the lips looking a little too pouty. Awesome diorama set but I never see myself using it all that much. Love those butterfly knives though. Perfect way to display it in tighter spaces.

I had the Hot Toys Bruce Lee in suit. But i kinda broke the figure and salvaged as much as I can. Bought an extra body but find it a little too small.

Right now I'm trying to figure out whether I wanna cancel my Figma Kiryu. HLJ is asking for payment and the quality seems kinda meh.

As much as I'm a Yakuza fan myself, I still think his face sculpt looks kinda derpy. Lacks some shading on his face. Speaking of which, I can't wait to pick up Yakuza 6. Need to plow through Yakuza 5 before getting to 6.
