Toronto star of The Mandalorian is getting his own action figure
One of Toronto's most beloved actors has reached new career heights with his very own action figure.
Nothing really screams 'you've made' it more than having your own likeness in a toy, right? For Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, that dream has finally come true.
Portraying Captain Carson Teva on The Mandalorian (and The Book of Boba Fett), a live-action series set in the Star Wars universe, since 2020, has garnered the Kims Convenience alumni a whole new set of fans outside Canada and now, a doll.
FINALLY! The first official #StarWars collectible featuring #TheMandalorian’s Carson Teva is coming soon from @GentleGiantLTD! Cheers to @bitterasiandude, and here’s hoping Teva announcements from @Hasbro & @hottoysofficial aren’t far behind! pic.twitter.com/P3qotMq3zH

Not really a doll but more like a bust (action figures need legs, right?), Gentle Giant LTD, which makes collectibles for Star Wars and Marvel, recently announced a new Teva.
Paul, you got busted! 😆 Congrats, sir.

Basically looking identical to Paul, the bust features his signature orange jacket, blue helmet and A280 blaster rifle.
I have a bust! #socool https://t.co/CHnK7Mk6bC pic.twitter.com/wwagDJ6Ruv

The East York native even shreds the news on his Twitter account, saying, "I have a bust," with the tag, #socool.
Awesome. Love seeing you in Mando. Great seeing more Canadians in Star Wars.

His fans quickly congratulated the 50-year-old actor and even tagged Hasbro to make an actual action figure (complete with torso, legs and feet).
Maybe we can get a Mr. Kim doll next?
