Enter The Dragon

I am still slowly adding some figures to my collection , I am trying to add some diversity to it . So here is my latest edition Bruce Lee . What a legend who passed away far to early . So here is my Bruce Lee story . I brought the sculpt and the black suit first , and ordered a phicen Asian style body , The Phicen Asian body is supposedly THE body for Bruce Lee customs . You even get a set of Kung Fu styled hands with it . So my the sculpt and suit showed up , and a while after I got the Phicen body , fitted the head , and tried on the suit ....Well it was rather frustrating that the suit wouldn`t fit the Phicen body too well , it was very tight , and so I then ordered a ZC Asian body , as these are the company that made the suit , and I figured well that`s gotta fit right ? I am pleased to say it did . Though it`s got nowhere near the articulation of a Phicen , I can live with it , but if any figure would work well on a Phicen , it`s a Bruce Lee figure . I may try and pick up some Kung Fu type clothing that fits a Phicen , or just use the pants I have as they fit ...I think . But that`s for another day . I custom made some weaponry for Bruce , a staff , some short sticks and the Nunchakus , the training wood post is a toy I brought for some Pet Rats I had a long time ago ...never throw anything away .     I hope you like the photos .

It came together very well Chip! Your use of the rat toy as a training post was brilliant. Until I read your comments, I assumed it was sold as, and intended to be, a training post. And the nunchakus are equally impressive. I think what I like most of all though are your poses...those are very lifelike and authentic. You did a great job.

Thanks so much Arcata , those are really nice and encouraging comments .

Very nice bash. I can understand your frustration, but I'm sure TBLeague was not planning for this specific outfit when they designed their body (which seems a tad tall, by the way, although I haven't checked Lee's height). For the look with the shirt and jacket, you don't need to use a TBLeague body at all. Are the pants too tight? The shoes probably are, but you can use non-TBLeague feet with them and the TBLeague body. ZC makes some small male feet that are compatible.

I agree Ian , the Phicen body looked tall for Bruce Lee , it only really matters of course if you put him up against other figures , I try not to worry to much about the height of figures anymore , if you get short or tall or tubby figures , there is all the associated problems of getting kit to fit or look right on them as was proven with this figure different sized bodies can be a headache sometimes . When I do manage to achieve tall or short figures that still look o.k when kitted out it`s a bonus . As mentioned I think the pant`s were an O.K fit . I will try and get round to trying them one day hopefully . thanks for the comments and advice , your knowledge of nude bodies and what`s out there is quite something .

Oh, I forgot you mentioned they fit. So you're pretty much set for the shirtless look then. And the shorts that come with M32 are reminiscent of his yellow track suit from another movie. My "knowledge of nude bodies"? Easy, that's how rumors get started! LOL Base bodies maybe.

Great addition Chip! everything came together really well!
