Shang-Chi’s Wenwu gets a Hot Toys figure

Marvel fans will want to get a look at the Wenwu 1/6 Scale Figure by Hot Toys. Wenwu is the feared leader of the Ten Rings Organization, which has lurked in the shadows of the MCU since the very beginning. He has been granted superhuman abilities and the gift of immortality by the ten mystical bracelets that he wears on his forearms. 

Inspired by Marvel’s epic film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the Wenwu 1/6 Scale Figure features a detailed, hand-painted portrait based on the appearance of Tony Leung as Wenwu.

Dressed in a beautifully tailored, screen-accurate costume, Wenwu comes with many detailed accessories. A variety of ring power effects are included plus a pair of interchangeable forearms wielding the rings, which feature a specially painted, luminous effect. With over 30 points of articulation and an assortment of interchangeable hands, the Wenwu 1/6 Scale Figure can be posed in many dynamic ways.
