Wong Fei Hung was a Chinese martial artist, physician, acupuncturist and revolutionary who became a folk hero and the subject of numerous films and television series. He is considered an expert in the Hung Gar style of Chinese martial arts.
Ok...I must admit I am not a history buff or expert.
Why I like Wong Fei Hung was because of the series of Once Upon a Time movies written and directed by Tsui Hark and Wong Fei Hung played by Jet Li.
Once Upon a Time in China is largely credited with starting period martial arts craze of the early to mid 1990s. It is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. Once Upon a Time in China 2 was my favorite out of the whole series.
This is a kit-bash using a modified Enterbay's head of Jet Li for their Fearless figure. The modification was done in a shop where they repainted the skin for better realism.
The body is Enterbay's RM-5 which has the perfect fit for an Asian Kung-Fu Master.
The Chinese suit is your typical suit you can get in most 1/6 figure shop.
I am pleased with the overall figure.
Finally I have Master Wong Fei Hung in my collection!
Kit-bashing Asian characters is tricky as you need to get a good body to properly portray an Asian body.
Using the normal body may make the figure too bulky and may not look realistic for an Asian character.
The Master showing his stuff!
But wait....
