TWO BRUCE LEES-S.H. Figuarts and Figma Bruce Lee Action Figure Review & Analysis of a Legend

Dragged threw the mud as of late, what is the link that bridges the gap between man and myth, performer and martial artist when it comes to the legend Bruce Lee? Using the S.H. Figuarts and Max Factory Bruce Lee action figures as examples, this toy review seeks to find an answer and set the record straight.

S h figurarts is the clear winner 🏆 here. Figma looks too cartoony. Great job 👍

[@WhysoseriousToys]

I preferred the Figuarts as well, though it wasn't the rout I expected. Thank you for the feedback. Greatly appreciated.

I prefer the figuarts version more but I do like the chest and arms on the Figma more.

[@WhysoseriousToys]

Ditto.

What a video production. Everything is remarkable. Thx for this aesthetic approach on bruce lee figures.

[@WhysoseriousToys]

Thank you! I really appreciate the positive feedback!

Unique style of toy review, good job!
But SH figuarts does have a great upper biceps swivel. Did you mean it lacks lower biceps swivel?

[@WhysoseriousToys]

Thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate it. Thanks for the clarification on the bicep swivel as well. Yes, I was trying to hit some very specific, borderline exotic moves that required more articulation at the lower bicep, closer to the forearm--in particular with the corkscrew punching. It's a very technical move in Jeet Kune Do and I couldn't get it right no matter how I moved the figure's arms. I was using a diagram too. Maybe I bit off more than I could chew there.

@@WhysoseriousToys Oh, I get it. I haven't tried the Figma but I own three of the Figuarts and have gotten almost any typical Bruce pose very life-like.
Would have liked to have hands to hold the nunchaku stretched infront though.

@@NoFate_Figures I got the Game of The Death version aside from the Enter the Dragon. Pardon my ignorance, but are you saying there's a third Figuarts version?? I would like to get that if so. BTW: I do plan to do another vid answering which one of the two I mentioned above is the most iconic. Leaning towards yellow sweat suit. Wonder which one you'd choose?

[@NoFate_Figures]

@@WhysoseriousToys Unfortunately there's only those two versions 😅 I got doubles of Enter the dragon and painted the claw slashes on one.
Cool idea! I think the most recognizable is the jumpsuit but only because it stands out. Most iconic and best movie is Enter ;)

Good insights on why you believe the Figma version.

[@WhysoseriousToys]

Thanks, man.
