SWAT 2nd series by Sheng Yuan (set of 4)

Sheng Yuan released another series of SWAT. (previous series can be found here (Link))

From these 4 boxes, i think only the first 2 figure on the left can be considered part of SWAT team. 3rd from the left looks like bandit and last box on the right looks like mercenary. The guy with the eye mask (3rd box on left) definitely is a bandit, wearing such torso with stripes too.



No catalog or trading/game card supplied with the lego parts.



Each figure come with at least a sniper rifle and other secondary weapon.


Close up pics of the minifigures:



Fully equipped minfigures with their weapon and accessories:


All the weapon and accessories you can get from these 4 boxes:



Maybe there's increasing demand in such police/military theme. I google new set for these SWAT theme and found these images:

  1. Whats that brown leg band for? Can it hold stuff?

    Overall, this 4 minifig is not as good as the first 4. Most of the weapons and kit are the same. So yea, I'd still buy them but maybe not as excited as the first 4 minifigs.

    Digger318 did a review of LELE's new set. But the quality is not great. Still I'll buy some for the weapons and equipment. I need that bloody sentry gun for my attack chopper.

    1. Yeah, i also dont know what is it for. But its made from rubber. I just assemble it according to the image on the box. You can slot in small weapon e.g handgun but it wont stick properly.

    2. I'm looking forward to have that LELE set too. That weapon crate and sentry gun is to die for. All those accesories and weapon for normal clone price.. Worth every single cent =)

    3. I'm not supporting bootlegs or anything. I just don't want a divorce. That sentry gun alone, original, costs EUR20!

  2. O'yea,

    Digger318 oso reviewed a military minifig set by "Di Long" brand. Never seen them locally.

    Equipment wise ... some different guns and stuff. Nothing exciting. But the win for Di Long's figs is camoflage. I want it.

  4. So far SY & Decool are among the best bootleg I saw. But the SWAT team from SY ... I dunno kinda weak in term of styling as compared to LELE's. I would say LELE's SWAT team minifigures looks cool. All are SWAT based design but SY's, there is even a bandit design in the set. I'm not saying it is bad but seems like in the wrong place . Anyway that is just me, what do you think?

    1. That's what I think too. Lele seems to put more effort in torso legs design but lacks quality in printing. 2nd wave quality is lacking too.

      My 2 favourite SY SWAT is the blue and black guys, from the 1st half wave .. not this wave being reviewed. Only later did I found out they are a copy of official Lego policemen.

      I bet LEGO fans who frown on bootlegs are going to buy them just for the accessories. The official LEGO police minifigs look a lot cooler with a belt - with a pistol and torch/baton - strapped on.

    2. And I'm going to get the bandit. Whats the use with all those cool guns when you have nothing to shoot at. The bandit's going to eat lead.

    3. Wow.. You guys have very detail observation. Most of the time i will miss something and only look at that missing point after your comment. I dont know that SY swat is also imitation from lego policeman. I learn a lot from comment section, really. =)

      Thanks guys!

    4. Where to buy these? Anyone knows?

    5. Hi there. Where are you from? In malaysia, its very easy to get it online (mudah) or from any physical store (mostly toybooth inside shopping complex). If you wanna try order those directly from china, you may try taobao.com =)

    6. I am from Malaysia.There are two stores selling lele and sheng yuan.1 is mudah and another one is Lelong.Lelong things are more expensive than mudah things but mudah sellers looks like they will cheat my money,Lelong is more trusted.Which store should i choose?
      And i wanted to ask u do LELE minifigs almost same with Lego?

      Delete
    7. Hi there. Heheh. You are not wrong about lelong and mudah. Lelong is safer because there's contract between buyer and seller, and they offer feedback rating system. Mudah on the other hand only a place to advertise stuff. Its up to buyer and seller to carry out the transaction. Have you consider to deal via cod? That way you dont need to bank in to strangers' bank acc.

      About your 2nd question, yeah. They use parts that looks wth lego.. Very similar, but there's no lego logo on all the parts. The printing of design also exactly direct copy of original lego. Is this your first purchase of clone lego?

      Delete
    8. Yeah,I had decided to choose Lelong instead of mudah because Lelong is much safer althought the stuffs are expensive.

      I definitely gonna buy lele stuffs because lego didn't sell any Swat sets.The only way to get lego swat is to buy lele and lele stuffs is very cheap so I gonna buy lele swat. I am a lego fans so I like lego stuffs like SWAT.

      About your review,U did great! Your review is very good! Thanks for your opinion and the review.I gonna get lele swat sets! Give u a big thumbs up.Good!

    9. I agree with you. Better safe than sorry. I myself already bought stuff via mudah numerous time but i admit i still have fear that i might get con by seller. Lol

    10. wei yuen,

      I don't know about you wei yuen but if you are used to Lego quality, LELE's SWAT minfig is quite bad by comparison. I buy for the guns and equipment, and the minifig goes into the dunno-what-to-do-with-them container.

      SY and Decool has better military minifigs. Minifigs I actually keep, collect and play with in mocs.

    11. You are right @apodistagon. Its difficult to explain about the plastic quality of these figures from just using pictures. But when you have a few figures from each of the brand, your hand can tell which one is nicer..

  5. For the weapons I count several new entries.

    The AK, M1 Carbine, Uzi with silencer and the crossbow.

    You put the silencer on that Uzi the wrong way...
