THE GOD OF COOKERY Collectibles from Fools Paradise



Hong Kong-based "appropriation specialists" Fools Paradise has launched a new series: "HONG KONG MOVIE", which will be focusing on classic Hong Kong movie characters, with the first 2 releases revealed to be from Stephen Chow's THE GOD OF COOKERY 1996 film: Introducing "Schoolgirl" and "Stephen Chow"! And with the full names used, I assume these are "licensed" releases!




Preorders since opened on foolfoolshop.com, "The God of Cookery // Schoolgirl" references Kin-Yan Lee's role dressed up as a "school girl" while still retaining his scruffy beard and picking his nose!




Sized (approx) 26cm tall, the VINYL+PVC figure is priced at US$99 (exclude Global shipping of US$46 / Do check sales page for "Free Shipping" regions, cheers), with this Open Edition collectible (approx) shipping 4th Quarter of 2024.

"The God of Cookery // Stephen Chow" stands (approx) 28cm tall, and is priced similarly to "Schoolgirl", as is shipping and ETA. Also "Open Edition".




Fools Paradise has in the past released TONS of movie-inspired collectibles, from both the West and East, notably Stephen Chow-classics such as DOUBLESTAR, HO LE YUK, LITTLE BO, SUPREME BO and GOLDEN SILVER Edition LEON = all via their SuperMario-appropriated "LEON", so this is a treat, methinks!



WHAT-IS: "THE GOD OF COOKERY" is a 1996 feature film from Hong Kong, starring Stephen Chow (who co-directed with Lee Lik-chi). "Because of his arrogance, a world-famous and feared chef loses his title as the God of Cookery. He reevaluates himself and sets out to become a better person in order to gain back his title."
