Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen, who led the 2008 blockbuster "Ip Man" and its sequel, recently unveiled his own wax figure at the Madame Tussaud's in Hong Kong, M1905.com reports.

The wax figure was created in his image based on Ip Man, Yen's character in the films.

Asked whether he thought the waxwork was like him, Yen responded positively.

"Ip Man 2" opened in cinemas last month. Yen said he was excited about the film's box-office performance.

However, Yen said he probably wouldn't appear in the third installment, if it were made.

"After 'Ip Man' hit the screens, a few other films about Ip Man were shot. It's like how they used to follow the film, 'Once Upon a Time in China'. I don't want the same thing to happen again," said Yen.

The "Ip Man" series is about martial-arts master Ip Man, the mentor of Bruce Lee.
