王小虎(復刻)TIGER WONG (RETRO)
#HERO#FOUNDER
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN · 1969
The 1969 original. Before the legend hardened, Tiger Wong was a street kid with fast legs and a stubborn sense of right, drawn in the raw direct ink that began Hong Kong's martial-arts comic lineage. He never stayed down.
These worlds have already been films, series, games, dance and stage, and the ledger keeps growing. Every figure below carries its date on purpose: the early records prove endurance, the recent ones are the newest chapters, and the next entry could be yours.

Film & television
We license Hong Kong manhua characters and worlds for live-action film and television: adaptation rights, remakes and co-development. These stories have been on screens since 1984, when Drunken Master aired on ATV. A licence can cover one character or a whole world, scoped by territory, term and media, and the original published art comes with it for reference.
Manhua pages are already halfway to storyboards. An animation licence comes with five decades of published art: character designs, settings and complete story arcs, everything a studio needs to take a Hong Kong comic into animated series, features or shorts.
We license characters and worlds for games on mobile, PC, console and online. Chinese Hero Online reported US$56M in gross over 2009–11 and set a 230K concurrent-player record in 2010, so these characters have already carried a hit game. Licences cover new titles, live-ops events, in-game crossovers and character skins. Skins are the fastest route: one hero’s look, licensed into a game that is already running.
We license original manhua art for digital collectibles: NFT editions of covers and interior pages, digital art drops, collectible card series, virtual figures, and avatar and profile items. Fifty years of covers and interior art give partners an authenticated archive to mint and build from.
We believe the future of art is fused with emerging AI, and we embrace it: AI-generated animated series and shorts, interactive stories where audiences talk with the characters, and virtual character companions grounded in fifty years of canon. Rights still matter, especially in training data. Our archive is open to license for building rights-compliant image models and other AI training.
