Sheng Yuan SY279; Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Wolverine, Hulk, Thor, Ironman, Captain America

I expect this set will not be sold well as usual. It is a re-work of the earlier figure SY180 (roughly 2 years ago).

if I see this set are sold separately, I would choose a particular figure only. Ironman, definitely. and maybe Captain and Batman. That's all





 They use newer plate with rotating part  as baseplate.


To cut a long story short, here's the assembled figures:


Each come with weapon but i hate it when they pair each figure with unnecessary weapon/accessories for example, hulk with rifle. After all, I've had a lot of that equipment. So I just put them aside.



Last but not least let's have detail look on the minifigure:









One thing I noticed, all the figures come with dual sided faces except Captain. 

The only figure that interest me is the Ironman. He's Mark 19 - Tiger, designed by Crayonboi.




There should be red line on the mask but for some reason Sheng Yuan issue this figure with standard gold face cover. maybe they still have lot of this part in their storage lol.

I also noticed Hulk wear new pants in the AOU, with red  and "A" logo. Superman has severe print of the belt (maybe the worst figure in this set) and Batman.. hmm. I wish to see newer cowl for batman (with open chin and shorter ears) but maybe my expectations are too high. They still use the old cowl :(

  4. Hey Buddy, About the new version of batman cowl (the one that you mention with shorter ears and open chin) I think Decool 0213 used that kind of cowl. :)
