Wong, another amazing figure with amazing detail..Easily in the running for top ten figure last year, imo!

Note: For some we are slightly disappointed not to get a Mandarin figure in his classic green or red robe or whatever you want to call it…Some on the tread were saying it could be due to misappropriation of culture…My question is, how were they able to make Wong?????

The pontificating revolves specifically around characters that evoke “yellow peril” tropes; even the term itself is a trope as Asian cultures are not “yellow.” Characters that are patterned after Sax Rohmer’s Fu Manchu, which some of the looks for Mandarin can be interpreted as being, have been identified as offensive. It’s also for this reason that Marvel has moved away from their own use of Fu Manchu as a dysfunctional father-figure for Shang-Chi: The Master of Kung-Fu. 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.
