Far as these non-character real people go, it depends on how much character they actually possess; are they interesting, have they done anything exceptional, yadda yadda. I wouldn't mind getting a figure of Freddie Mercury, for example, just because he was so larger than life, a once-in-a-generation-class talent that changed the game. The man practically was a character despite not being in character. In that sense, it's no different from collecting busts/statues of historical figures to inspire oneself with reminders of the shining examples of the human species - although I am still way, way more likely to just spend money on King Kong or whatever.
ah yes, larger than life and take Freddie Mercury as your example lmao he is a great artist, but his life does not prove at all that he is a larger than life person.
Still by far the Best Bruce Lee figure in several scales except 1/6. The absolute worst part about it though is that its basically impossible to fix any loose joints because of the system SHF has used.
He's 5'7" in real life, so he's not too far off being true 1/12th scale. It's pretty lame how inconsistent the big companies are with their character heights.
I don’t look at it as just a Bruce Lee figure, but a Lee figure from Enter the Dragon, where he fights the Sheriff from Nightmare on Elm Street. That being said, Bandai Figuarts does a lot of one off celebrities, musicians in particular like Daft Punk, Freddie Mercury, Jamiroquai, etc.
Y'know who I think would knock a 1/12 scale Bruce Lee figure out of the park? Mezco, and they could definitely get some mileage out of a mold by doing different releases in his different costumes
The face looks good. I wish the torso had that gloss - like he is sweating. I thought the articulations should be 4 - the two range in the arms and legs should be Spidey level…
Bro... when you said "in certain poses it looks awesome, but in other poses..." I was thinkin the exact same thing! I cant make up my mind whether or not I like it. For a minute, Ill think it looks pretty cool, but then my brain kinda goes "nah, the body looks like a flesh colorod robot!" Lol! I will say tho, still the best Bruce Lee fugure that Ive seen. That figma was worse than awful. Lol! Sik
I only have a few figures of real people, mostly MCU characters. They just don't fit in with the rest of my collection which is mostly superheroes and military stuff. For example, I'm a pro wrestling fan, but I only have three WWE figures. My "world" just isn't built for them. It looks kind of weird having Roman Reigns in the same scene as Spider Man and a guy in tactical gear with an AK-47.
Pass! Not good enough for one of my childhood heroes I grew up with in the 70s! The figure should be taller and his arms, torso & arms should have more of his slender but MUSCULAR upper body! Bruce Lee was physical specimen, along with his obvious mastering of Martial Arts. The man was a damn LEGEND, and Bandi has dishonored his true fans with this poor rendition in my OG Collector opinion brother Anthony.
fr idk the chances of them making a new one but i'd really like one with better articulation cause he's absolutely a person i'd love to push the limits on
I wasn't a fan of this figure when it originally released. On top of that, there aren't many figures I like that are shirtless. This figure needs an update.
I'll stick with the JADA Fei Long figure. I used to collect figures based on real people when I was a child. I had the bone crunching action WWF Attitude action figures. Last round of real figures was the full Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends figures. I loved that movie. After that I was done.
I was actually looking at possibly getting this, now it's a big "NO". Bruce Lee can't do splits or raise his arms past a T pose? Even back when this came out, its unacceptable, this is Bruce lee, he has butterfly joints but can't bend or kick. As far as real people, I only collect sports, music figs, I have some LOTR and a few movie ones, like the Crow, Scream etc. I haven't had the desire to collect any MTU or DCU. I would like to get some Rocky movie figs and a few WWE/F figs like, Andre the Giant, Big Show, British Bulldogs, JYD, but I'm not ready to go down that rabbit hole just yet.
@@BSmiTh79 Bro Super 7 Bruce Lee is not the way to go I promise you. Their "final product may vary" they wrote in fine print definitely held up to that. The prototype video they did on their RUclips channel looked exceptional, but the real release they didn't do his face justice at all. This figure despite it's outdated flaws to me is much better.
Closest thing I have to a Bruce Lee figure is Fei Long
Yeah!!!😄👍👍👍
Absolutely
excellent figure.
Lack of competition hurt this figure.
Bootleg incoming
Would be crazy if ct toys did one
I don't know about you guys but I like this figure so much that I always bring it to work and place it on my desk 😂
這是對李小龍的愛😂
I have the storm collectible Fei Long on my desk but I wouldn't dare bring it to work xD
This figure looks spot on interms of faceplate, but the scale is too short, if you stand it with other SHF figures, Bruce is around 5 foot 8.
Bruce Lee was 5 foot 7 or so lmao

There are a few Freddie Mercury figures. I think McFarlane, NECA and SH Figurarts have all had a go.
ah yes, larger than life and take Freddie Mercury as your example lmao
he is a great artist, but his life does not prove at all that he is a larger than life person.
@@longminh2759 You are strange and I will not humor you further.
got him for 30 in hong kong. Absolute steal at that price
Been eyeing this figure online for awhile. This review came in clutch, thanks Anthony 👍
Happy to help

This is still the best bruce lee figure you can buy imo. Great for pics, especially with the yelling face. Tad small tho.

This is a really solid little figure
Still a great figure. The original face isnt so great but this one here is much better. Imo, best on the market 4:50

His right bicep is backwards!!
How do you think this compares to Diamond Select?
I haven't seen that one in person. Didn't even know they had one
Like Bollywood compared to Hollywood dude.
Don’t dog Bollywood like that 🤣🤣. Seriously tho it’s bad.
The face looks good. I wish the torso had that gloss - like he is sweating.
I thought the articulations should be 4 - the two range in the arms and legs should be Spidey level…
Lol the figma Bruce Lee still haunts my nightmares 😂
Nice Fei Long/Liu Kang replacement xd
Hi Mr Anthony. I Have A Bruce Lee Figure. I Got It For Christmas. I Watch Some Of Your Figure Videos.
I just ordered this yesterday lol
I might get this because I think i would look good with the SHF Anya Forger head to pose fighting my Batman
I have the chief arino and jamiroquai figuarts along with some movie stuff. It's not a focus though.

Will you be reviewing the MDLX Sideswipe?
yes. already have it. just need to film it. probably ready for next week
You should review McFarlane Batman Sketch Artist Edition
Have a link?
I think Bruce Lee is such a significant person that I could put him in any part of my collection and be happy about it.
Not this figure though lol.
Just sticking with the figma?
@ Jada Fei Long with a bag over his head.
I have the original version of this figure

If you don't show what this head looks like on the Jada Fei Long body, your namesake is dead to me
This head is way too small for that body and the peg system is totally different.
I myself wouldn’t classify those as real people. Are you saying people not in super hero costumes?
I'm saying any real people. Chris Evans is a real person even if he's in a costume.
My Bruce Lee Figure Is Not Your Bruce Lee Figure Review.
I Wouldn't Buy It
Looks terrible.
I'll stick with the JADA Fei Long figure.

Hmm hard pass for sure...especially considering BBTS also has the super 7 ultimates Bruce Lee on sale for $27.
Super 7 though
@AnthonysCustoms lol, yeah, I'm not a fan of super 7 myself. I was thinking more of just having a Bruce Lee on the shelf 😅

Feels like this needs a retool. Haven't dug my original out for ages and it definitely doesn't look as good as I remember 🫤
i had the same reaction
