Sheng Yuan SY275 & SY276 Avengers 2 Age of Ultron minifigures set

A total of 16 small boxes, which consists of 2 sets of 8 (SY275 and SY276) fit inside this one large box.

Excuse me for not arrange them by set number >_<. I forgot all of this is from 2 sets. I thought they were a set of 16:

Some of the minifigures come unassembled and some partially assembled.

Assembled minifigures:

1st line: Ultron MK1, Hulk (Dark Purple Pants, Dark Red Pattern),  Scarlet Witch, Black Widow
2nd line: Iron Legion, Hydra Henchman, Ultron Prime, Ultron Sentry
3rd line: Baron Von Strucker, Quicksilver, Maria Hill, Ultron Sentry Officer
4th line: Ultimate Ultron, Iron Man Mark 43, Vision, Captain America

The extra Lego parts including baseplate which can be used to build accessories/weapon holder such as the diagram on the back of the box.

Comparison with original Lego figure on right:

SY still maintain old design of torn pants on their version of Hulk =(

Hulk from AOU.

But do not worry. if you want a perfect Hulk figure, buy the original Lego set or Sheng Yuan SY357 The Hulk Buster Smash. Hulk in this set is not wearing torn pants, exactly the same as the original Lego figure.

Last but not least, these 2 figure: Maria Hill and Captain America. I don't have the original to compare because they come from the Lego 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier. This set is very expensive and I still don't have enough money to buy it. >_<.

Only three figures exclusive to this set: Maria Hill, Nick Fury and Captain America.

Although I do not have the original figure, I use Bricklink to check on the original Lego parts. Designed of the torso, faces, even the SHIELD logo on right arm is exactly the same with original :)

Likewise with Captain America without mask. The torso and leg is the same parts with standard Captain America figure. The only difference is his face and hair. 

You can get the exact same figure with original Lego if you swap his masked face with this:

You can get the face from young Obi-Wan Kenobi here >_<.

I try not to exaggerate but this is one of the best set from Sheng Yuan :). To make this collection complete, you must combine this set with SY271.  You can get the rest of AOU minifigures  (Mark 45 Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor and Nick Fury) from SY271.

p/s: hey, I just noticed this blog already reached 1million page views :)) thank you guys!

Dargo No.852 Avengers Age Of Ultron Minifigures Set

Finally I was able to buy this set. phew .. I know I'm a bit behind compared to other people who have been getting this set months ago. Dargo is not my fav because the quality is below par but after a few times of this set "sold-out" in the market, I finally managed to get one. let's look at why people buy this set.

Pictures of the box, set of 8:

All the boxes use the same image on the back:

Each box contains a trading/game card with a picture of each minifigure:

Assembled minifigures:

From left: Ultron Prime, Scarlet Witch, Baron Von Strucker, Quicksilver

From left: Ultron Sentry Officer, Ultimate Ultron, Ultron MK1, Vision

Comparison with original Lego figure on right side in every picture below:

The verdict? Quality of plastics used is still low. for example, the connection between the torso and the leg is very loose. if you stick their feet on the baseplate and hold the body to lift them, the body will be uprooted. 

As well as the head. almost all of them (except Quicksilver) has a loose head :(. The accuracy of printing is also low in these minifigures. Have a look at the back of Vision's head for example. Another example is pattern behind Ultron's head looks almost the same as the original but more distorted.

As a conclusion, Dargo still using low-quality plastic. Not only looks cheap, but  these loose parts will make people think twice to get this set. I think many people buying this set just because Dargo is the earliest to offer this AOU set and you can get all Ultron variant in this single set. Now that Sheng Yuan has the same AOU set to offer, I think Dargo will have trouble competing. Luckily i also bought Sheng Yuan SY275 & SY276 AOU for review. Read about them in my next post :)
