I've heard about this brand before.. but previously they issued the same figure that SY, Decool and Lele already imitate. So, i just ignored them. However these newly released figure by them (Dargo) caught my attention:
Characters in these set:
- Wolverine
- Ghost Rider
- Snake Eyes
- Iron fist
- Bane
- Storm Shadow
- Silver Surfer
- Martian Manhunter
I'm not sure if the nickname for some of the character really exist or it's from parallel universe. Bane also known as "Bain" lol.
The box is bigger than the usual box the usual lego minifigure (by SY, Decool or Lele) come with. One of Decool's Iron Man Mark 1 box for scale.
Not sure why they use bigger box. No doubt that all these stuff will fit nicely in average size minifigure box.
Front/back page of brochure inside the box:

I'm very disappointed with this set. I think Dargo wanna move a step ahead by offering new character that no other brand issued before but the quality of these figures is not acceptable. The plastic is soft so it's very fragile - parts easily detached from the torso. yup, everything - headpiece, arm, hand. I'm not sure if this brand is any better than JLB.
Not only the accessories is not relevant/complete, but also the printing quality on the torso/leg assembly sucks big time. Have a look at this Silver Surfer. Figure on the right is from SY's Fantastic Four (link).
SY's figure has better colour and at least come with surfer board. Click on the picture and see for yourself details of printed design on Dargo's torso.
Initially i'm super excited to have Ghost Rider, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow but i revise my expectation. Ghost Rider don't come with any chain and the headpiece doesn't fit the character. I think Dargo should use grey coloured head piece (skull pattern) combined with flaming transparent-red hairpiece. Found this image of Lego Ghost Rider in Brickipedia:

I don't want to comment anything on wolverine. I don't know why he's wearing lipstick. =(
I would like to keep Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes (some of my fav charatcer in G.I Joe) but look at Storm Shadow's torso: =(
From these 8 figures, Dargo imitate 2 of them from Lego. I have original lego Iron Fist to compare (original Lego on right) but i don't have Bane from Batman 1.
So, what do you think about this set? will you get them too?
The DRAGO brand toys made just for kids, they do not care about the details.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I that mark in my collection, but then I discarded them.
Oh, really? This is my first buying set from Dargo and maybe the last. =p
DeleteBummer on these because there is cool potential here.
ReplyDeleteJust don't get your hopes up if you ever getting them. But i will stay away from this brand if possible =p. Sorry Dargo.
DeleteI saw them in the store in my regular place where i get my bootleg. They have slightly bigger box then the average bootleg minifigure and price at slightly higher. Thats what i don't get it, just because you are packing in bigger box doesn't mean you get more. ( they price at RM 4.4 and SY Ironman price at RM2.8) so i'm restraining myself from buying them. :(
ReplyDeleteSY at RM2.8 a box? Where did you buy it? The cheapest I can get is 3 boxes for RM10.
DeleteHi @anonymous and @apodistagon, have you tried gm klang? You can get them around rm2 for those normal size.
DeleteYeah, i hate it when seller told me this stuff is more expensive because the box is bigger. =(.
DeleteI giggled when I saw 'Bain'
ReplyDeleteIm not sure if they purposely done that =). Ahahaha
DeleteYuk ! So ugly !
ReplyDeleteI really hope more and more people saw this post. So they don't have to waste money on these figure =p
Deletei wanted Ghost rider too but when i see this set , definitly NO !!
DeleteYeah, please stay away from this set. Im very sure decool or sheng yuan will release them eventually =)
DeleteReally glad I bothered to look at this post before I ordered from aliexpress. I didn't even get that was meant to be Wolverine. I thought I might use him for a custom Shocker, but if the plastic is poor quality I am not going to bother. Thanks for the heads up.
