Nice pictures, and I like the succinct review.
As others in this thread have noted, aside from the obvious Bruce Lee nods (the yellow nunchuks from Game of Death, the gloves from Enter the Dragon), he's wearing a Cobra Kai gi from Karate Kid. One thing that I noticed that most reviews never pick up on with the gi top that this figure shares with the Resolute Storm-Shadow figure is that it is worn "wrong"... gis and kimonos are supposed to be worn with the left side over the right: Traditionally, they're only crossed right over left (as in this figure) with corpses, before burial.

You know, the thought had crossed my mind that it was an intentional, significant design decision—the animation model for Resolute Storm-Shadow is drawn the same way (and since GI Joe: Resolute was animated in Korea, somebody must have pointed it out), so maybe it was some sort of way for the designers to say that he was a "dead man walking" or something. But I don't know how likely an explanation that is.
