Tekken

One of the three great fighting game series (the others being Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat), Tekken is loaded with Asian Pacific American characters. The game revolves around an international fighting competition and featuring both normal humans as well as scary fantastic individuals such as the demonic Yoshimitsu and True Ogre.

Tekken 3 Individual Figure

The Korean entry to the Tekken competition is Hwoarang, who specializes in Tae Kwon Do. This figure, sculpted by Hiroki Hayashi, is quite nice and a very nice likeness of the video game character. His cocky stance also captures his character. He comes with an electric guitar and what looks like a bust of Heihachi Mishima (whose fighting style he dislikes -- so, if anybody can tell me why he comes with it, please let me know).
