3rd wave Decool Iron Man - Set of 9


Hi guys! sorry that i took very long time to update about this set =)


Front view of the boxes

Rear view

This is the 3rd wave of ironman by Decool with number 0160, 0161, 0162, 0163, 0164, 0165, 0166, 0167 and 0168. Although Decool use different set number, some of them are actually repeat from wave 1 and wave 2. (Link)

Four of them 0161 (Iron Patriot), 0163 (Midas), 0164 (Gemini) and 0165 (War Machine) looks like the same with 0110 (from wave 1), and 0127, 0115 and 0111 from wave 2 respectively. The design on the boxes is different but the figure look the same. so i wonder why they use different number for those 4 boxes. However, i still purchase the whole set of 9 to see if the figure is different from previous wave.


Okay here it is. All iron man from this set (except Mark 1 and Tony Stark) come with extra bricks - 4x4 plate and some trans clear 2x1 bricks to make the iron man "float" in the air. It's not cool of Decool (lol) to have the same mark with previous wave in different set number just because they give extra trans-clear brick.. or maybe they over manufactured these guy so its just their business strategy.. (O_o)


With some photoshop skill, you can edit the picture to make him float/flying


Mark 1 and tony stark don't come with any trans clear bricks but they have these:


All 9 figure from the latest 3rd wave Iron Man by Decool:

For comparison, I will have these figure compared with Sheng Yuan or previous wave Decool:

Tony Stark - This is the first figure of Tony Stark by Decool. Previously only Sheng Yuan have it in set SY305.
From left - Decool, Sheng Yuan, Lego
The obvious diff is the hair colour and only Decool come with dual-printed face like Lego.



From left - Sheng Yuan, 1st wave Decool, 3rd wave Decool

Mark 21 Midas - Only Decool have this mark.

From left - 2nd wave Decool, 3rd wave Decool


Mark 16 Nightclub - This is the first by Decool. Previously only offered by Sheng Yuan.

From left - Sheng Yuan, 3rd wave Decool



... and this is Mark 35 Red Snapper.. also first time issued by Decool. which version do you prefer? I think Sheng Yuan's arm look bulkier and more suitable for the character.. snapper..

..and this is mark 4. so far only Decool has this mark.

Last but not least  - Mark 1. So many people excited to have this guy. So i have detail picture of him here:

Front view - equipped with flame thrower

rear view

The helmet, torso and body armour is very unique. Just look at the torso design. wow, love it!!

Quick update about the armour of Mark 1. Thanks to anonymous reader about the tips/info: The armour attached to Mark 1 is the same with the armour of Hero Factory Minifigure from Decool set number 10511 to 10515 (Link). Here's few picture of them side by side. 

p/s anonymous reader.. : I really appreciate your comment. Thanks!!!c =)

Mark 1 without body armor

Come with dual sided face. Expected from Decool's figure
Before Decool produce Mark 1, I have my own Mark 1 created using instruction here (Link) made from original Lego.. and this is picture of him side by side with Decool's. 


First love is the deepest. It took me very long time to gather the parts needed. They are both awesome, so i love them both. lol. I love how the one made from Lego look bulkier and heavier.. but i also love the one by Decool because of torso beneath the armour and the helmet.



As a conclusion, if you already have all 12 Decool figure from wave 1 and 2 (6+6), you only need to buy 5 box (0160 Tony Stark, 0162 Mark 4, 0166 Mark 35, 0167 Mark 16, and 0168 Mark 1) from this 3rd wave. Box number 0161, 0163, 0164 and 0165 are just repeat - the figure is 100% the same from previous wave 1 and 2. Unless, well... it's cheaper to get whole set of 9 than buying them separately. 


This is my latest collection so far. There are 2 Iron Man that has variant in this picture - Mark 3 and Mark 35 (Red Snapper). Excluding the variant and hulk buster ironman, there are 20 unique mark available so far. I have them labeled here (Link). Please update me if there are any mark i'm missing =)



Love them to the max! Tho they are cheap and not perfect.. the feeling of having complete mark/series is over the moon. =))))))

  2. You have nearly all SY, Decool, Lele stuff. Which brand is the most consistent in terms of quality?

    1. so far (imho) i think Decool is the best. not only in term of printing quality on the torso and leg but the material used. assembly of arms and legs are not very stiff and the injection moulding is quite accurate... 2nd to lego i must say =)

    2. Can you please share where exactly you buy them from?

      I've been searching, but only find them in eBay sellers that tend to make sets with random figures and i'm not very confortable with TaoBao or AliExpress :\

      Thanks in advance ;)

    4. times square which floor..? because if it were decool.. i know the new ioi near putrajaya on groundfloor nearing carpark exit got a stall full of decool product.. so thus jj i mean aeon now in equine park seri kembangan.. but if i were to find SY or XY brand.. ill go along Jalan Raja Laut before a junction to The Mall which is Sunway now.. there got plenty shop selling all these kinds of bricks toy and other toys.. more like Pemborong.. so many uptown/downtown Seller buy their stock in there.. the problem that you have is a parking.. which i always ended up parking at yellow line.. beware of DBKL.. XD
