 I
thought I was SEEING THINGS when I spotted this figure. CHOW YUN-FAT? Wait a sec.
There's some resemblance here and what's more, this bloke's called Detective CHOW.
Chow's character from THE CORRUPTOR? I wouldn't be entirely sure but it
comes close.
Detective Chow is relatively cheaper than
the Ethan Hunt figure. At S$69 (US$40), I don't see any reason NOT to buy it.
Surfing the official Dragon Action Figure website revealed that the figure has
been decommissioned!

Dragon, as I know, offers an incredible line
of 12" WWII soldiers. I've seen a couple on display and the quality is clearly
evident, from the uniforms down to the accessories. All figures also boast excellent
articulation, allowing difficult poses to be achieved (e.g. aiming a rifle while
lying prone). I haven't tried to manipulate Detective Chow as I don't see the
need to. He looks cool enough as it is. The accessories which come with it are
great, like the miniature .
The detailing is just so much better than the one bundled with Hot Toy's Ethan
Hunt. A pair of
are good to have but I would leave these in the box. Beneath the NYPD jacket,
Detective Chow sports a short-sleeve T-shirt. The look a little odd and the figure doesn't wear socks! |

With some customisation, one could turn Detective
Chow into from
John Woo's HARD BOILED. With my limited know-how, I made a small piece
of 'plaster/bandage' out of paper and stuck this on Detective Chow's forehead.
Wished I had a 1/6th scale shotgun or something. The end result isn't fantastic
but you get the idea. If you own a Detective Chow figure, give it a shot to transform
him to Inspector Tequila. Anybody know where a 1/6th scale infant figure can be
purchased?
