Jackie's sculpt is dead on, capturing his likeness perfectly. His costume is cool, too. The costume design is from My Story, a behind-the-scenes documentary in which Jackie reveals his stuntman tricks. (It's definitely worth tracking down if you haven't seen it. I don't think it was released over here, but you can probably find it on YouTube.) The costume material is thin enough to allow the figure's articulation some nice movement.
Speaking of which, these Dragon Model figures are known for their articulation, and they certainly didn't skimp on Jackie. He even has articulation that was pretty much unheard-of in those days: double-jointed ellbows/knees and an articulated chest.
Holy crap, is this figure really 10 years old already? It doesn't show its age... this is an awesome figure even by today's standards.
5 out of 5 - Simply incredible!
4 out of 5 - Pretty awesome!
3 out of 5 - Cool enough, I suppose.
2 out of 5 - Not quite good enough.
1 out of 5 - Pretty horrific!
0 out of 5 - No redeeming quality at all.

Ha, 10 years goes pretty quick don't it. :) I remember seeing the review or what-not in I think an issue of ToyFare magazine when this figure first came out. I thought it was sort of nifty. However the Celebrity Doll franchise wasn't exactly something I was ever into. But I could see myself getting this figure now, just to say I have a Jackie Chan doll. :D
In fact I'd probably play with him constantly while mimicking his broken English accent. :)
But Jackie Chan movies are the best, and usually some of his best are the least shown or known. Probably one of my top favorite JC flicks would have to be his Live action Portrayal of the anime City Hunter....as there is just one crazy fun scene in this movie, that I love to watch over and over again.
