Is that enough source?

No. You need to provide proof that Namco based Mokujin off of this movie, such as in an interview or direct statement. Otherwise, for all we know, It could be some wild coincidence. King Zeal 13:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I think you're being a bit naive if you think Namco would make such a legally actionable comment. I don't think they have for Marshall Law or Lei Wulong.

Anyway, the similarities go beyond anything covered by coincidence. Both Mokujin and the Shaolin Wooden Men are figures made from logs of wood with chains for joints and iron balls for arms. Both imitate various martial art styles. So both the design and the concept are virtually identical.
