Still needs a beard imo. That and 8f they changed the blue to green it would be better.
I'm very excited to finally have The Mandarin, it's just too bad Iron Man is gone so we won't have an actual confrontation between them. Still I have high expectations.
That's a comics Mr. Hyde not MCU Mr. Hyde.So the figure with them is Mr. Hyde. One more nail in AoS's coffin.
Also they gotta ref Trevor and how he doesn't look a think like him.

I can already tell Tony is going to rock this role. Hope he sticks around as a recurring villain.
they’ll have to tread very carefully though or some dumbasses on the internet are going to walk away thinking this is proof China is responsible for all crime around the world

AI Tony Stark is a comics reference and Civil Warrior a Contest of Champions video game reference.Fair enough. I went based on the fact that all the other figures referenced the MCU.
Why would you expect anything resembling an interesting confrontation? Going on the information in the trailer, the Mandarin shows every sign of being a level-appropriate villain for Shang Chi, a super powered kung fu fighter in the Cap/Spider-man range. Which is to say, Iron Man would radically outpower him, to the degree that he wouldn't make a meaningful villain choice. *cough*
There's reason to believe that the rings give him more powers than the trailer taken at surface level makes it seem. Also, being a physical match isn't always necessary for adversaries. Look at Batman and the Joker.Why would you expect anything resembling an interesting confrontation?

They could have given him longer hair in his final form.
By the way, they call him Wenwu everywhere, but all fans will still call him Mandarin, so what's the point?
If the Mandarin had all the power rings as in the comics then he would be able to combat Iron Man with all these various magic-like abilities. I don't know if he'll be just a regular martial artist or have super strength etc like Captain America. If he did, then he could hold his own like Steve Rogers did against Iron Man in Civil War.
In the comics they had the crazy idea back in the day that the Mandarin doing karate (instead of Kung Fu) could actually split open Iron Man's armour or shatter it. Not likely.

Tony gave a very compelling performance as WenEu aka the Mandarin. The drama between him and Shang-Chi definitely adds weight to the film. I loved the father and son dynamic. I place The Mandarin right up their with Thanos and Loki.
They didn't mess him up; they changed his motivations, origins, and name to fit in with Shang-Chi's world, but he's very much one of the MCU's better villains because they added many more layers to him. I particularly liked his reaction to The Mandarin name.From what I‘ve heared, they ****ed up the Mandarin a 2nd time (and a 3rd, if you count Aldrych Kilian).
Wenwu is probably a great developed character…but not the Mandarin
