Anyone that cries foul on misappropriation needs to get a life.

That's how the character was done in the comics, don't buy it if it bothers you.

Wong doesn’t fall into that morass as he doesn’t present a stereotype; he’s just a bald guy wearing a tang-suit. I suppose some could say he resembles a martial artist, maybe even a Shaolin monk, but there isn’t really a negative connotation to that.

Thank you…Learn something new everyday…Really interesting sometimes the drama that goes into the proposal for an action figure….

Latest Haul.

Amazing 3rd Party Deathstroke Action Figure called ''Hell Assassin''. The Customs workers cut the scotch tape on the box...

So here is the picture of what is inside.

I won't take the figure out of the clear plastic inside conteiner though. I like to keep my action figures in their boxes.
