Arnie Kim departed from Enterbay

This is great news. Ohhhhhh the possibilities.

EB "was" great. They just put out great product way too slow. HT is picking up license after license and knocking out everything in a reasonable time. Welcome Arnie to the HT train. eh.

I'll call EB ASAP, if I was EB, if and That's If EB has more Bruce's in the pipeline, they should let us know asap!!

Yeah EB needs to let us know if they have any more Bruce Lee figures to release or they are really going to be in trouble.

This is as bad as LeBron signing with the HEAT.

Haters gotta hate. I think this is good news. Enterbay makes great stuff, but they don't have the resources Hot Toys does. It will be great to see what Arnie can do with the kind of licenses Hot Toys can provide. Honestly, I don't think he was able to do too much over at EB, so now he (and we) can see a lot more (and different) stuff out of him.

Oh yeah, and I'm getting that Reeves Superman. ^_^

I would assume Hot Toys has something to do with this.

Voorhees27 is smart stuff.

Even with AK doing work for HT, I do NOT want EB to fold(v.doubtful.) These companies push each other to new 'bests' and benchmarks.

I don't want to see EB go down either, but IMO HT has surpassed them already, at least in terms of distribution and licensing. I think AK saw that and decided to expand his horizons.

I think Arnie,s move to HT is a good move for Arnie.A skilled master like him can,t be restricted to the Bruce Lee licence, that has to become frustrating at some point,this way with the many licences HT have now and to come means we,ll see Arnies work flourish in so many different areas which has to be a good thing.I asked him a couple of weeks ago via facebook about any possability of a Bruce Lee Big Boss 1/6th scale as its the only one missing from the range thus far to which he replied next year with the 40th anniversary of the films release.Its a pity this won,t be his sculpt but i look forward to seeing it non the less and i,m sure all the parties involved will all go from strength to strength.

So Enterbay is doing a figure from The Departed sculpted by Arnie Kim?

A less obvious license like that sounds just like Enterbay. Of course the figures wouldn't be out till 2013.
