Falcon Commandos Army Minifigures from Senbao set No.11101

I seriously thought that logo on the box that we can see in the picture below is Sheng Yuan's new logo but i have a feeling that they are not exactly from Sheng Yuan. Made in the same factory? Yes, maybe. I must say that the quality of these minifigures and the amount of accessories/weapons that you can get from this set is soooo much better than Decool Modern War (link and link). 

[update on July 8th, 2015: i've been told by @anonymous the name for this brand is "Senbao".Thanks buddy =)]



If you forgot how bad Decool is, please have a look at the close-up pic below:

I'm really excited to see the packaging. Instead of box, they used this fancy case/container of which the size is the same scale with head part used at Lego alarm clock. There are 12 cases in this box, so you will get 2 complete sets (set of 6) in one box.



On top of each case there are 4 studs that you can use to stack the case like this:


All parts are sealed in plastic packaging which also came with tiny pamphlet showing instructions to assemble the figures (except fig in cyan colour case, the tactical belt is not in the sealed plastic)



Accessories and weapons that come with each minifigure. I mark each picture with the colour of the case that they come from.







I bet you guys already notice one thing about them - the base figure (torso and leg assembly) are basically the same, but with different face and helmet.


I really like this figure. The camouflaged pattern is printed on the side of torso. Note that the pocket design on right and left leg is different too.


There are 4 types of vest that you can get in this set:


Assembled figures with radios, vest and tactical belt on:

Ouch i found something. The hip connects perfectly to the torso without the tactical belt but the grip weaken with the belt on. I'm thinking to glue them to make the assembly permanent.lol


The 4x4 baseplate has rotating piece on it.


They look seriously awesome, especially the camouflaged weapon. I kinda missed my camouflaged BT TM-15. I still have it (illegally, yeah) but i cannot play with it. In my country, you need a licence to keep paintball gun at home lol.


All accessories and weapons you can get from a set of 6:


I really love the case/container. In fact, I already have plan for it. I will use them as case to store candy to be put in goody bag for guest on my son's birthday party.. uh, of course i'm going to rub off the "S" logo. ahaha.. =)

  1. Lele, Decool and Di Long did camouflage but IMO S brand is the best so far. And the weapons too have camouflage wow.

  6. I think this brand is named Sheng Bao. From what I heard (just not sure), Sheng Yuan are brothers, the other brother moved to HK and established a new one, this one.

    1. hi @RHM. thanks for your comment. if that is true, no wonder the quality for both is comparable. the parts fit well and the print on the parts also very nice.

  11. hi,could you say something regarding the larger bazooka-like weapon... is it some kind of movable parts/spring mechanism?

    1. [img]http://i.imgur.com/5qgS0H1.jpg[/img]

      this one right?

      as you can see from the pic, this bazooka consists of three parts which are joined together. unfortunately, no spring mechanism inside that allows the front of the bazooka can be launched =(

    2. Thanks for your reply and hi again!!! :-) Good to know. My set is on its way... I saw that you commented regarding this topic also in the new LELE Modern Combat set (that I btw ordered from AliEx today). One more question till my package arrives... What about that other bulky RPG-ish weapon in this set... also multi parts? No spring?

      Thanks for your page!

    1. Hiii :). I just read your comment. sorry. I just assembled this set.. http://mybrickstore.blogspot.com/2015/07/gbl-ky98508-military-figure-16.html

      anyway, have you received the order? what do you think about it?

      Delete
    2. No, still waiting. Expecting a lot of goodies shipping in now second half of July but will be away from home so I can't pick them up :-) Only inbound stuff that's not reviewed here already is the two LELE and the SL8916 Jurassic sets (downloaded the movie yesterday btw).

      Yes, just saw your GBL 98508 review! I don't expect the best quality but (besides the tactical watch) there seems to be quite a lot of equipment :-) I like to have a lot of different figures (and equipment/tools) just for the variation and for MOCs... If I buy two sets of the same then I often build one according to the instructions and try to make the other one as different as possible :-) Also, the faces in this set seem kind of boring... Or? However, I'm looking forward for these little guys anyways :-)

    3. EDIT...
      I just recieved these, just before going on holliday :-) Hope to look at them within a few days...

      Regarding the GBL 98508... there's nothing specifically wrong with the heads/faces in this set. Sorry, I was thinking of another set...
