Hot Toys Enters the Dragon
July 30, 2010
Hong Kong-based "Hot Toys" has been stomping all over the toy industry with their very expensive, very accurate 1/6 scale action figures. The high price tag buys you a level of detail unheard of in a 12" figure. It also includes an extremely articulated body (often with rubber skin, complete with muscles and veins), wrapped in neatly tailored threads, and outfitted with an avalanche of accessories. The whole deal is entombed in some thoughtfully designed packaging that allows the figure to be removed, and put back, without having to tear anything apart ("Collector Friendly", to use the toy nerd nomenclature).
Now Hot Toys are finally turning their mighty talents towards the ultimate goal: Enter the Dragon Bruce Lee. Behold!

Besides an entire dojo of swappable hands, two sets of ninja clothes, and a set of nunchucks, the highlights on this guy would be the "two newly developed authentic head sculpts with Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS), newly sculpted muscular body, two sets of specially-made costume and two movie-accurate diorama backdrops."
Lee was sculpted by the legendary Yulli Hotto, whose resume includes the unbelievably impressive T-800 Arnold and DX Joker.
