Dragon King 20” Vinyl Figure by kaNO x ToyQube

kaNO’s epic Dragon King vinyl figure – inspired by the great Bruce Lee – is back and bigger than ever! That’s because ToyQube has enlarged the stylized, urban take on the kung-fu legend from 8” tall into a HUGE 20” figure. Even better still, it is now officially licensed by the Bruce Lee Estate.

Inspired by Bruce’s appearance in Game of Death, the 20” Edition Dragon King features Lee’s iconic yellow and black jumpsuit with the legend’s official logo on the back of the hoodie. It has five points of articulation and includes removable nunchucks! Collectors and fans can pre-order this beautiful new figure now at the ToyQube online store for $295.

Brandon Lee “The Crow” Custom Dragon King by kaNO

This year marks the 20th anniversary of The Crow live action film, and kaNO pays tribute to its tragically taken too soon star Brandon Lee and the role that made him famous with this epic “The Crow” Custom Dragon King. Since all of the production Dragon King colorways pay homage to Bruce Lee, it was a pretty perfect idea of kaNO’s to use this figure as a platform for a piece dedicated to his son. What’s really crazy is kaNO’s first custom The Crow Dragon King was created way back in July 2012! You can see the original blog post here. The Blot’s just glad a run of these is finally being made!

The Brandon Lee “The Crow” Custom Dragon King by kaNO is limited to 20 signed and numbered hand painted vinyl figures, and includes a crow accessory sculpted by Steve Schumacher. Collectors can pick one up at noon EST tomorrow, Friday, February 28th, at the kaNO online store for $300 each.

Brandon Lee “The Crow” Custom Dragon King by kaNO

Yesterday, when kaNO dropped the photo above onto his Instangram account The Blot’s jaw hit the ground. A Brandon Lee “The Crow” custom Dragon King is just about the most perfect custom I could ever think of for kaNO’s popular Bruce Lee inspired vinyl figure. As you probably remember, Bruce’s son Brandon was fatally wounded during the filming of The Crow, a film based on the indie comic by James O’Barr. What better way to pay tribute to both Lees than with this beautiful The Crow custom Dragon King.

According to kaNO, he posted the photo to gage interest in a run of custom The Crow Dragon Kings. Well with 30 comments and almost 150 likes on Instagram, I’d say this piece definitely speaks to a large number of people in our little corner of the art world. But if you’re seriously about adding a beautiful piece like this to your collection, definitely shoot kaNO an email and let him know!

SDCC 12 Exclusive “Longstreet” Dragon King by kaNO

On Friday, July 13th, kaNO will be releasing the fifth and final colorway of his popular Dragon King vinyl figure at Kuso Vinyl’s San Diego Comic-Con booth #4937! The Blot’s a huge fan of this Bruce Lee inspired toy, and kaNO did a great job coming up with five unique colorways while staying true to the figure. The SDCC 2012 Exclusive "Longstreet" Dragon King features a red and white jumpsuit and has a limited edition run size of only 75 pieces. Pick one up this Friday during kaNO’s sole SDCC signing from 2:30pm to 4:30pm at Kuso Vinyl’s booth for $70 each.

WonderCon Exclusive “Enter the Dragon” Edition Dragon King by kaNO

We’re just a week away from WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim and the release announcements are coming fast and furious! First up is the WonderCon 2012 Exclusive “Enter the Dragon” Edition Dragon King vinyl figure by kaNO. This brown colorway of kaNO's Bruce Lee tribute features a Tai Chi logo on its back and has a limited edition run size of 250 pieces. Pick one up for just $65 during kaNO’s WonderCon signing on Saturday, 17th at Kuso Vinyl's WC booth #287 from 2pm to 3pm.

OG Dragon King Vinyl Figure by kaNO

After blogging about both of kaNO’s Dragon King exclusives, I realized I had never talked about the original colorway. Designed as a tribute and homage to one of the biggest icons in American history, kaNO’s Dragon King was meant to capture Bruce Lee’s essence and attitude rather than being a carbon copy of his likeness. As kaNO explains, “the Dragon King was a labor of love for me and I couldn't be happier with it; it's not often you get the opportunity to make a toy of one of your biggest heroes."

There are seriously so many reasons why The Blot digs this figure. It’s the perfect mesh of kaNO’s signature style and a tribute to a true American Icon. Plus I just really love Bruce Lee. My only problem with this figure is I honestly can’t decide which of the three Dragon King colorways I want to pick up! The OG Dragon King vinyl figure stands 8” tall, includes a baton and camera gun, and comes packaged in a gift box with flocked blister. With a limited edition run size of just 250 pieces, the OG Edition Dragon King retails at designer toy stores worldwide for $65 each.

Tomenosuke Exclusive Green Hornet Dragon King by kaNO

Kuso Vinyl and kaNO have teamed up with Tomenosuke to release a very special Dragon King variant! The Green Hornet Dragon King is Tomenosuke exclusive and pays homage to Bruce Lee’s role as Kato in the original The Green Hornet television series. No word yet if this figure will only be available in Japan or if Tomenosuke will ship worldwide, but how great is this colorway!?! The Blot loves color schemes inspired by superheroes, and the Green Hornet and Kato are definitely underutilized characters. I blame the horrible Seth Rogen live action movie, but come on…how many other heroes can say they were actually in the 1960s era Batman TV show?

The Green Hornet Dragon King has a limited edition run size of just 75 figures and will retail for $70 each. You can try to order this great new designer vinyl figure from the Tomenosuke online store.

NYCC 2011 Exclusive Dragon King G.O.D. Edition by kaNO

Next week kaNO will be releasing his newest figure at New York Comic-Con, the 8″ Dragon King vinyl figure produced by Kusovinyl. The Blot’s a huge kaNo fan and I’ve really been looking forward to seeing the final product ever since the prototype first debuted at San Diego Comic-Con last summer. The first Dragon King colorway is entitled the G.O.D. Edition, and will be available exclusively at NYCC. This colorway is based on Bruce Lee’s character in the 1978 film The Game of Death, and features a yellow jumpsuit and green baton (just like Bruce’s in the movie) and a Bolex handheld camera.

The New York Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Dragon King G.O.D. Edition by kaNO has a limited edition run size of 75 figures and can be purchased exclusively at the myplasticheart booth #879 for $70.
