Advent calendar ICFTTC 23: Dragon, Dragon, Enter the Dragon: SH Figuarts Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee is a man who needs no introduction. Known for his prowess in wing chun and the creator of Jeet Kune Do.
I reviewed a previous figure of Bruce Lee before.
This one is the Iconic Enter the Dragon Bruce Lee, inspiration to other characters like Liu Kang and Fei Long.

Articulation
Most of the pictures I took of the figure are all him doing Bruce Lee poses or Fei Long poses. For an older sh figuarts figure he is very articulated and I dare say that he's more articulated that the street fighter figures.
5.0

Paint and sculpt
This figure manages to capture the essence of Bruce Lee. His face was recreated digitally based on scans taken from the movie Enter the Dragon. They are in a bit of an uncanny valley territory but they have a better likeness signed figma Bruce Lee figure.
5.0

Accessories 
Bruce has:
 3 extra face plates
9 extra hands
2 escrima sticks
1 nunchaku
1 bo staff
5.0

Overall
Mr. Lee gets a 5.0 as his final score. Again same issues that apply to the previous Bruce Lee about being close to perfect but my grading system not being accurate enough still apply here. Sadly is a bit too small for the street fighter figures so no Fei Long substitute for me.

Speaking of Fei Long, this Bruce Lee figure shows us how a theoretical figure of Fei Long would be made.
He'd end up having 2 extra faceplates: screaming amd sideways woo! Face)
4 extra hands (relaxed palms, chopping hands) to complement the fists
Dragon kick effect
If we're lucky an extra gripping hand and a nunchaku.
