Sheng Yuan SY600 LEGO Deadpool Minifigures

Hello everyone! I'm back! Haha:). Anyone still reading this blog of mine?  I still remember the last time I updated this blog was before my 3 weeks' family vacation to Finland, Norway and Sweden in May 2016. (Norway was a very beautiful country, breathtaking scenery and it was really love at first sight. My wife and I wished we could spend the rest of our life there). After returning from the vacation, i was swamped with work in the office. It was a nightmare. Haha!! Returning home and back to work after a long vacation is like a punishment for temporarily dismissed from the office. Sigh :(.

A long hiatus makes it difficult for me to take the time to update this blog. At one point, you will feel that it is too late for a post. No one is interested in LEGO bootleg anymore and no more people will visit the blog. During these 3 months, I didn't spent much on LEGO bootleg or original LEGO set. I only bought set of 16 71014 DFB Team, Lego Ideas 21303 Wall-E and 21304 Doctor Who, and some Decool 0244-0249 and 0250-0255 (just because of the ironman minifigure in those set). However I did spend a lot on S.H.Figuarts figure and Tomica car model :P. I guess sometimes we need a little pause from our favourite hobby till we recover back the passion.

To be honest.  I was a little worried that I would hurt long time followers of this blog because there is no update for a very long time plus there are hundreds of emails and comments that I didn't reply. It's impossible for me to reply and answer the past 3 months comments and emails so forgive me..

I regard this as a reboot. So for a start, allow me to use the time and available resources to create a new post as much as possible. I am in the office at the moment but fortunately I have one or two "draft" post stored in this blog so let's start with it

Assembled minifigures with their glider:

As you can see below, there are 4 types of gliders in this set.

I don't know their name or the origins but I believe its fan made design.

Front/rear view of each minifigures:

I love it when Lego minifigures come with dual sided faces but for Deadpool, I think they don't need it.


The only minifigure in this set with printed arms:

It's late, but my next post is about Decool's Batpod (imitation of LEGO # 5004590). I hope you are still interested in reading it :)

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 :)

Lego Iron Man minifigures by Duo Le Pin Set No.DLP9002

This is how i received the latest Lego Iron Man minifigures set by Duo Le Pin. Just like their Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron Lego minifigures set (DLP9005), you can get 2 complete set (set of 8) in one whole box.

Complete set of 8:

DLP is quite generous. They still include 3 pcs of game/trading card in each set:

Assembled figures:

This is where i need help from you guys if i wrongly labeled the name/mark number for each figure:

1. Bones - Mark 41

2. Mark 42 Rubber Ducky  Iron Man Extremis Armor from Iron Man 3.

3. Mark 45

4. Mar Machine Mark 2

5. Mark 43

6. Gemini - Mark 39

7. Iron Legion

8. Disco - Mark 27

Comparison with original Lego figure on right:

1. Mark 45 - DLP almost got the mask correct (especially the eye part - with black lines) but the forgot the tiny detail - grey color on the cheek). Sheng Yuan got it right. You can see SY's Mark 45 in my next post.

2. Mark 43 - You can see a little smudge on the left leg on this figure.

I really hate the robot face they use for most of the figures in this set. I wish they can make all of them have face like Mark 41, Mark 42, and Mark 39 (uh, i should have these 3 in single photo. they look super awesome). 

The origin: 

Iron Legion, Mark 43 and Mark 45 in this set is 100% Lego imitation and Mark 27 (Disco) is from Crayonboi:

[update] Thanks to @RHM for this update:
The above figure that i thought Rubber Ducky is actually Mark 42 designed by Agoodfellows77:

[update@July 12, 2015] Thanks to @Beekini for this update. He found the exact origin of the Rubber Ducky Mark 42 pattern. It's from Tony Gorst (flickr). Tony Gorst named the suit as Iron Man Extremis Armor. You can check his flickr. 

The pattern on the knee looks similar on the DLP minifigure :). Thanks @Beekini.
