The Legend of ZU mini action figures from Dragon Models come across as a PlayMobil and Lego hybrid. For those of you familiar with the Kubrick line of toys from Medicom, you would notice their similarity too.

Six characters from the movie are available: King Sky (Ekin Cheng), Enigma (Cecilia Cheung), Red (Louis Koo), Cheng Le Tian (Zhang Ziyi), Duan Lei (Patrick Tam) and White Brows (Sammo Hung). However, collecting all six is quite a feat. The characters are randomly packed, meaning one does not have a clue what he's getting until the box is opened. At least that was how the figures were sold in Hong Kong. Here in Singapore, customers are luckier as shops tend to open all boxes in the carton and you can buy what you like. I only managed to buy five while the White Brows figure remains elusive up to this day. In terms of rarity, the White Brows figure ranks top. This is closely followed by Duan Lei, Enigma and Red. The King Sky and Cheng Le Tian figures were in abundance.


The figures are fairly articulated. Apart from being able to turn their heads and twist their torsos, you can also bend the elbows and the knees. All figures come with accessories other than Cheng Le Tian (I'm not sure about White Brows though).
