Marvel has now released “Shang-Chi” action figures months before the film’s September premiere.
Simu Liu, 32, the Canadian actor who plays the titular role, shared a few pictures of the collectibles featuring his character, along with Wenwu (Tony Leung) and Katy (Awkwafina) on
Facebook on Sunday.
“So these came out nationwide today and uh… it’s gonna take some getting used to,” Liu wrote in the post.

Other characters featured in the “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” action figure series include Death Dealer and Xialing (Meng’er Zhang).
His post over the weekend was not the first time Liu teased Marvel fans on the action figures. The actor previously took to Instagram Stories to showcase several “Shang-Chi” merchandise that he received as birthday presents from the studio, among those a Funko Pop of his character, according to
Marvel.
Steven Lim of “Worth It” also bought a few after they were released. On Instagram, he said he got emotional seeing himself being represented in a Marvel movie.
