Great review!

(sigh)... the price... :P

but, I might just cave and get one...

A real 1:6 enthusiast should have at least one Enterbay in his collection, right?

Cheers!

If you can justify it, and you can still keep a roof over your head, stay warm and eat... hell yeah, it's a must!

WOW!!!
Man, these figures have always blown me away and I so need to find one sometime soon. The sculpts and costumes are nothing short of perfection and the moving eyes are really cool!

Aww man!

How much would I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, to have that in my collection, one day, one day...

Just don't get it from Play.com

CHEERS!

I have to admit when I first saw the Bean figure I thought 'Why?' but the more I look at it, the more I think, hmmmm, maybe!

I'd be interested to know how well it's selling. As you say a cool novelty figure but not everyone has $150 for a novelty.

00tinister · #12 (**permalink**) 02-12-2009, 12:33

Very COOL! But $320 - Geez!!!?

Have you guys seen a repainted Medicom Enter the Dragon? You can snag one for about $90 now.

It's a pretty good likeness. I'll post my repained HS.

It is a lot to drop on one figure, but to befair by shelling out an extra $30 you actually get two full figures and a wooden display base, so if you break it down to $150 per figure +$50 for the base and extra accessories it makes it a little easier to swallow... hell, we all need a way to rationalise this plastic addiction!

mcorrigan · #14 (**permalink**) 02-12-2009, 15:31

DAMN SWEET!!! Reminds me of "Enter the Dragon" the likeness is perfect!! But at that price, I would be at the lawyers fast....

htanner · #15 (**permalink**) 02-12-2009, 15:34

Hey Tin, I would really like to see your BL repaint. I am still not completely sold on some of those Enterbay sculpts, especially the GOD one and the Way of the Dragon one. They just looked off to me. In my opinion the ETD figures are better than the Fist of Fury ones but I also repainted the the Medicom figure and it really captures Bruce in a way the others don't. I guess "beauty" being in the eye of the beholder goes a long way here.

00tinister · #16 (**permalink**) 02-12-2009, 16:12

Hey, Htanner - I'll find time to post pics in the next couple days.

I think both the Enterbay and Medicom HS suffered from the same issue: lack of paint app. I remember being blown away by early pics of the Enterbay GOD figure.

Then I saw my friends figure when it arrive - "seemed" like a totally different figure. But it was just because of the paint.

The Medicom - out of the box was better because they used a color that was a little more life-like. But it still needed paint.

Wookster · #17 (**permalink**) 02-13-2009, 04:34

I'd love to see the re-paint, I wasn't convinced by the production piece, but freely admit I never saw it in the flesh.
The hair always looked too big and the face too long and Westernised.

There's no denying that the RAH can give you some great poses though!

Medicom seem to be a pretty closed shop when it comes to getting any new information, things just seem to 'arrive' after months of waiting.
I find the best guage is eBay sellers, as they put up pack shots as soon as they are in hand.

I did a check and there's no evidence Bats is in hand yet, but Solo is now available.

krewe555 · #21 (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 10:36

is this figure 12 inch?? or did enterbay try to make a accurate scale of his height also???

Blu Falcon · #22 (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 15:46

Every guy must have at least one Bruce Lee in their collection whether that be Enterbay, Medicom or DML; whichever you can afford. To not own a Bruce Lee in some form or fashion is a direct violation of a Man Law and is a cause for revocation of beer privileges for up to 5 years.

ebor · #23 (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 16:48

You might call this a "Fast of Fury" due to the months of no food due to the expense of this fig. But dare to dream...

Gates70 · #24 (**permalink**) 05-20-2009, 17:09

Mine's already shipped and getting it tomorrow...YAY ME !!! LOL

ebor · #25 (**permalink**) 07-08-2009, 00:51

Gates, pulled the pin and I'm in...got mine delivered today!! Oh'my is all I can say.

rogerbee · #26 (**permalink**) 07-08-2009, 01:42

Hmm, what with all the horror stories I heard about Jack Bauer falling over, it's a wonder they didn't give him ankles like they have on Bruce, it could have made a load of difference.

I think this is the best Bruce

CHEERS!

I can highly recommend picking up a BL 3.5 as well, the ankles are so much better!
