Now, let that sink in ... folks'll now have a chance to snag a "TONY LEUNG in 1/6th-scale"! Pop a snazzy clean cut suit on him, and you'll have a "Chow Mo-wan" from Wong Kar Wai's "IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE"! Or even be able to kitbash a "Pat-cheung" - as seen in the final sequence of "THE DAYS OF BEING WILD"! And the sculpt's hair-style decently works too!
Folks outside of U.S. are to check in with your regular HT-retailers for pricing where you are at, and I am imagining a uber-quick success with this figure...! Of course Hot Toys reminds us of the "Tony Leung"-connection/association:
Yes, I am gushing about "Tony Leung", deal with it, cheers (Sorry Simu :p).
