    I can't be the only person who thought this was racist and deeply distasteful

    Perhaps consider asking the folks who made that set directly rather than assuming anything.

    What, comparing a black guy to an ape? How can that be considered racist???

    I mean it's "Duel of King and Dragon" -> King Kong, pretty transparent. Assuming malevolence would be very US-centric of me, and I'm not doing that, but it doesn't read well.

    OK, that is clearly Bruce "The Dragon" Lee, especially given the Kato cap and mask from Green Hornet, but who is the boxer supposed to be?
    It is possible that the ape mask isn't as rude as it appears if the person that the figure depicts actually wore one, or had an ape-centric nickname or something. My knee-jerk reaction is bad too.

    I think the ape is supposed to be Kareem Abdul Jabbar since he trained with Lee and was in one of his films. He was not wearing any sort of mask though. They probably didn’t mean it to be racist, but still feels a bit offensive.

    @kichigai - I pretty much never bother coming in to this topic area. Didn't realized you mention Jun's passing. Again my condolences.

    It is Mike Tyson and Bruce Lee.

    Description of the characters by Next Level Toys:

    Duel Of King And Dragon

    The story is based on the duel between a Chinese vigilante and a Western boxing king.
    Chinese vigilante, DJ Dragon, is working as a DJ during his daily life. But when he sees crimes happen, he will turn into a masked vigilante to stop it. Because of his excellent kung fu skill, he is called as "The Strongest Man Alive" by the public.

    King is a professional boxing fighter who aims to be "The Strongest Man Alive". He loves music and always dress up in explosive head style. When he makes his appearance in the boxing game, he always wears a gorilla mask to scare his opponent.

    Once, by chance, King heard about the masked vigilante, he felt a threat so sent a letter of challenge to DJ Dragon.
    Then the fight between DJ Dragon & King kicks off...

    Maybe i'm not in step with the modern world but i see nothing racist in a black boxer toy wearing a gorilla mask. Just seems like it says more about the person finding it offensive than the object actually being offensive. But hey, what the hell do i know. If you find it offensive, its your right to say so. Personally i don't waste my time being 'offended' about pretty much anything.

    There are far worse 'offensive' toys out there than some dude wearing a fun gorilla mask who just happens to be black. Remember those Osamu Tezuka Nazi toys by Denboku?

    Personally, I find it much more offensive that this set is an extremely insolent, blatant rip-off. Dude even tagged his posts #utsugiyo... :?

    That set looks so much like Utsugiyo's other sets that I had no reason to suspect it was made by a different company. That is rather offensive!

    EDIT: I just looked at the maker's IG post. I can't believe that level of coattail-riding. At that point, you may as well just straight up bootleg some of Utsugiyo's toys.
    Plus it seems silly to give a character ostensibly based on Mike Tyson headgear that includes an afro with sunglasses combo and an ape mask.

    Fuck you . . .

    Anyone who labels themselves as an 'Instagram Influencer', anyone who posts nothing but selfies on their 'personal blog', anyone who considers themselves a 'lifestyle brand' or is touting some half-assed enterprise, be it artist, photographer, fitness trainer, wellness-expert or fuckin' fengshui guru that involves pictures of themselves (usually females in yoga pants/males with too-perfectly-manicured designer stubble).

    Instagram for clogging my feed with these needy, self-indulgent, egocentric, self-obsessed fuckin' nobodies through sponsored advertising.

    I would happily pay to avoid ever having to see these vacuous fucks . . . be it on Instagram, TV or in real life!

    I was scrolling down my IG feed yesterday and suddenly there was a header saying "Suggested For You". Didn't even notice it until I saw nothing but selfies of women eating unicorn-shit foods and makeup application videos.
    I hope this is just a test run of a new feature and not something permanent... keep that suggested crap on the search page, not my feed.

    Lame as hell. I've been seeing stuff like that for a minute, but it's weird that the recommendations are so off for you. I only really browse toys on IG so I mostly get toy photos, but I imagine your habits are much the same

    ...kill me. These IG demographics are a pain. I get ads for jewelry and perfume too. :roll: I wear one bracelet and one scent, those poor assholes are wasting their time.

    EDIT: Oh and RINGS. I get ring ads ALL THE TIME.

    Right, it's weird that it does that if your browsing habits don't even reflect it. Although when I think about it I get ads for those men's subscription boxes that I've never shown an interest in. The hole goes deep; you've probably read this but Target's algorithm for sending coupons has predicted pregnancies before the mother knew before.

    Yeah, I realise it's a bullshit first world problem, but eventually the Darwinism will wipe out humanity!

    People forgetting to eat or even breath . . . far too busy 'being beautiful'! :|

    A giant FU goes out to the sore loser that got all butt hurt and had a temper tantrum because they didn’t get the first pick of Kumons from the Bombastic Plastic show.

    Even though this person knew about the show for WEEKS in advance, this person decided not to research where the gallery was located or plan how to get there (they have no car..) and they got super butt hurt when I ended up getting there before them. This person then proceeded to be vocal about the fact that they didn’t get the number one spot repeatedly with comments such as “I can’t believe you got number one, that’s sucks!” Or they would ask me if I was buying the one-off Kumon and when I’d tell them yes, they would reply back with “I can’t believe it, that sucks!”

    The gallery finally opened and I got first pick of the night, I picked the white/gold/black Kumon. This person had the number two spot (not too shabby..) and they could’ve have scored the GIANT KUMON or that super sweet tri-colored marbled Kumon, but no, they had to constantly harp on the fact that I scored the white/gold one and it sucks and why did Dennis only send one small painted Kumon and that it was so unfair, etc. I almost thought that I was gonna see this person starting crying right in the middle of the gallery at this point. Several people approached me and were like “WTF is up with that dude?!” All I could say was “Oh, he didn’t get his way and didn’t get to buy the toy he wanted..” (Doesn’t that sound like a conversation you would have about a five-year-old?) So then this person decides to ignore me for the rest of the evening, even though we’re supposedly friends. I tried talking to them several times throughout the evening, asking about their scores, if they were having a good time and if they were going to get one of their blanks customized by one of the artists and they couldn’t even be bothered to turn their fucking head and/or even acknowledge me. At that point, I decided that life is too short to be surrounded by ungrateful motherfuckers that aren’t truly your friends..

    I’m truly sorry that I introduced you to this side of toy collecting. I’m also truly sorry for introducing you to this board and to toy lotteries by peeps like Paul, Dennis and Rich. I thought I was sharing something that I love and that I’m passionate about with a friend. You are ungrateful, deceitful and hateful inside. You don’t deserve any of these toys/art that these guys work so hard to master, the amount of shit you talk about EVERYONE is unbelievable. You want nothing but pain and misery in your life for you and those around you and your actions prove it. You’re so full of shit bro and you have so many hard lessons to learn, I hope you grow up and learn them quickly, before you meet your demise. You know how you always complain about how everyone around you always sucks? It’s not them bro, it’s totally you..
