Detective “Chow” is from Dragon, and is marked 1999.  

Appearance and Construction: 8/10

Clearly the head-sculpt is based on Chow Yun Fat.  It's a fair likeness, not perfect, but given the quotes around “Chow”, I expect they were trying to introduce a generic element as well.  Trouble with copyright?

The paint on the facial features is nice and subtle, but there's some slop around the hairline.

The costuming is really nice.  The only nitpicks I have are two.  The lack of socks means that his ankles are visible between the shoes and the pants when his legs are bent.  Also there are visible snaps when the jacket is open, although that may be a necessary design choice.

Packaging and Extras: +2

The package is pretty boring, holds up okay on the shelf, but that's all.  Some of the research I've done since picking this up seems to indicate that this figure was an early member of a series intended to be cheaper than Dragon's usual fare, and the packaging also seems to imply this. 

 I was actually worried at first that it was a  knock-off.  

The front of the packaging has a warning notifying you both that small parts make this toy not for children under 3, AND that it is a collectable item, “Age over 14”.   

The other amusing part of the packaging is that on the side it notifies you that “This figure is not an official NYPD product, and has not been endorsed or sponsored by the NYPD.”  

But all is forgiven, because the ugly package meant that they weren't all bought, and some ended up on clearance.  

The accessories are really nice.  The costume consists of a shirt, pants, shoes, jacket and belt.  The jacket has actual metal studs for buttons, the NYPD symbol on the jacket is clean and bright.  Both the jacket and the pants have real pockets.

He also comes with a handgun, mini flashlight, handcuffs (with actual metal links),  and a walkie-talkie.  All this gear can fit into the pouches on his belt (which all open and close), and he can hold everything except the flashlight.
