Oh, lord ... how bad do I want to see this?

Nice character design, yes? Looks like it could be a decently high budget take on the whole Japanese costumed hero thing, yes? But wait! This isn't from Japan. It's from Thailand. And what's with those wooden bars running down his forearms? All is made clear in that remarkably not-clear bit of text running across the bottom. Allow me to translate:

Ahem: "Action Designed By The Team Behind Ong Bak".

My god. A muay thai super hero. I'm in heaven. I've got a much larger version of that picture on the way and - believe me - I'm digging around for more information.

the wooden thing on his forearm is one of THai weapons. Tony Jaa used them in Ong Bak during the fight in the cave.
