This Yang Guo is based on the 1995 TV version portrayed by Louis Koo...well at least the duds are. Likeness to Louis is...debatable at best. It's a good looking sculpt no less, with rooted hair that sits very nicely. I also got one from eBay and must say this one came out just like the prototype. The thin and soft clothing creased naturally. Streaks of white hair are subtle and appropriate. Joints are heavy and stiff so he has no problem holding a stance. Truly Impressive.

The Condor comes with the figure at additional cost.
For those who are curious, Yang Guo wears his clothes asymmetrically because his arm was severed by a psychotic beeyotch named Guo Fu. The original novel and it's revision states his right was cut. But the re-revision says his left arm was cut. The figure comes with both arms assembled and normal clothes. You are free to disconnect any arm of your choosing and dress it up accordingly. Both left and right hand parts are included, but only one hand wrap.
This backdrop marks the iconic words written by his lover Xiao Long Nu to promise a reunion after 16 years of separation. I don't know what material is used to make this piece, but it's heavy like an actual piece of rock. Resin perhaps?
This guy actually disassembled the left arm and re-dressed it to give it an authentic look.
To nitpick, I'd say that his Heavy Iron Sword is too small. This sword is said to be massive as it was later reforged to make the titular weapons of the sequel, Dragon Sabre and Heavenly Sword. The condor is also way undersized. It was Yang Guo's mount and was taller than him by a good margin. Other than that, this figure is pure awesome.
