Sheng Yuan SY266; Dr. Strange, Batzarro, The Collector

In this set of 8, all figures have the same back design on their boxes:



Picture of the boxes:


No trading/game cards with this set. now i kinda miss them lol:


Assembled minifigures with their weapon/accessories:


1. Storm


2. Thor (comic version)


3. Wonder Woman


4. Taskmaster


5. Batzarro


6. Martian Manhunter


7. Dr. Strange


8. The Collector


Comparison with original Lego on right:







I don't have the original Lego figure of this SDCC.. but i have one from Decool (on left)

As you can see, Sheng Yuan's version lack of 2nd face. That's why i prefer the one from Decool (link)

I'm only interested with Dr.Strange figure in this set. For StormTaskmaster, and The Collector, i think the one made by Decool are much better (at least with dual sided faces) >_<

  1. For this set, I only bought Dr. Strange and Thor.
    I really amazed with Thor's helmet. Unfortunately Thor has no cape.
    Generally, I sense that SY's quality become a lil bit worse. What do you think?

    1. hi @cEro. hehe. its very subjective. sometime we forgot they are still bootlegs. maybe our expectations are too high. well, because we know they make great knock off/imitation in previous release.

      when it come to bootleg, the quality is not consistent. some batch might be ok, some batch might not. but decool are worst. i received bad figure one set after another. lol

  2. I'd only be interested in Thor's helmet and Martian Manhunter's cape. The reason Thor doesn't have a cape in this version, I've been told, is that this version of him from the comics lacks a cape as well.

    3. hi there. i got them from toy booth inside aeon big wangsa maju. =). you can get them cheaper from wholesale place@kenanga but some say the price is not that cheap... even you buy in bulk..

    4. Yes, the price at Kenanga not really that cheap even buying in bulk...they marked up the price and then if you buy 6 and above then they give 50% discount. The minifigurines, no discount. In actual facts, other place can get similar price. Even Jonker Street selling same price and you don't need to buy in bulk.

      Am wondering whether Plaza GM will be cheaper or not? Any idea where's the best place with more choices? Kenanga only a about 3 stores
