Fans point out that the Marvel Legends Shang-Chi action figure looks eerily like Willie Revillame
A lot of fans at the various Marvel Legends groups based in the Philippines have recently shared side by side photos of the upcoming Shang-Chi action figure from the Marvel Legends Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings wave with that of TV personality Willie Revillame.
For reference here’s the leaked photo of the Marvel Legends Shang-Chi figure from the Mr. Hyde Build-a-figure wave coming soon from Marvel and Hasbro…
And here’s a sample of what TV host (and Shopee endorser) Willie Revillame looks like these days…
Toy oriented pages like our friend Toy Tripper posted this on his page…
And ‘tripper wasn’t the first as there’ve been other similar posts in other Marvel Legends groups with the same funny idea. The question I’d like to point though is whether or not these will be the finished products or just some prototypes. I’m really hoping that Hasbro does something with the faces because I know they could do better. Or we could wait for them to announce other action figure lines like SH Figuarts to do select characters from the Marvel Studios film.
Of course the Legends line wasn’t the only leaked look at the Shang-Chi toys as there was also a set of photos that have been released for the Shang-Chi Funko Pop figures including the big “Great Protector” figure!
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings stars Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Ronny Chieng, Michelle Yeoh, Tony Chiu-Wai Leung, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu and more! It will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and is set for release September 3, 2021!
