Jon Paul Kaiser gets commissioned to customise MAD Toy Design x Round 5’s “Bruce Lee’s Temple of Kung Fu line”. The collector who’s a life long fan of Bruce Lee asked JPK to add his trademark style to MAD*L’s x Round 5’s platform. Stripping away the colourful paintwork and having a much darker look to the figure. A lot less cartoon/ animation look and the monotone look give’s Bruce a more realistic touch.

JPK using is extra thin sable hair brush for all the small details for Bruces cuts on the 3″ figure, lovin how JPK has painted the muscle rips, defined but not over the top.

Suttle facal expression is not too agressive but has all the personally that Bruce stands for.
We are sure the collector is more then happy with the outcome and to have it within his huge Bruce Lee collection.
