Lego Batman of Zur-En-Arrh San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Exclusive - Original Vs Fake

Looking for this fella?

For now, you can get the bootleg version of Batman Zur-En-Arrh, one of the exclusive figure introduced during SDCC 2014 in one of these sets:

I'm just interested with the figure and since i have the original SDCC figure, i will do a side by side comparison of original and bootleg version.

Ok, here it is! No need to make an introduction, the one on the left is Sheng Yuan's and Lego is on the right. Sheng Yuan's version has scalloped 5 points cape just like a normal lego batman figure had. Please note that for the rest of the comparison, i will always have Lego on the right and Sheng Yuan on the left =)

Dark purple cape that Lego version has is the same with the one that Magneto and Alien Villainess' (from collectible minifigures series 8) wear.

.. and this is how Sheng Yuan's looks like when i change the cape with Lego Magneto's.. I believe not only the standard cape pattern look better on this batman, but the colour too. The one originally supplied by Sheng Yuan is light purple. I think dark purple cape fit better with the mask.

Cape replaced with Lego Magneto's cape

Update: apodistagon recommend another option/substitute for the dark purple cape - Using Bizzaro's cape! In my example below i use Bizzaro from Sheng Yuan's

cape replaced with Bizzaro's cape

As you can see, the colour is about the same, but the material is totally different.. i think it's the cheapest option so far.

Closer look on the mask show that Sheng Yuan's cowl has shinier surface . The shape from front and side view look exactly the same. but slight diff can be seen from back view. (i tried to draw a line on the curve of SY and use the same line on lego but the line doesn't match)

Since it's from Sheng Yuan's, it's so expected that this figure won't have dual sided face. The detail (white strip on forehead and beard) is different.. and i think this is the first time batman has smiley face.. not frown or smirk face

There's some noticeable difference about pattern on the torso. The bat logo on Sheng Yuan is bigger and muscles outline detailed pattern and line on the belt is bolder. oh, i also think that Sheng Yuan purposely removed the small receiver/radio pattern at the back of torso to make some different with the original SDCC.. i mean, they can imitate 100% if they want to but to make a little difference, they don't copy the exact same pattern.. 

Anyways.. even they decided to imitate 100% the pattern, we can still distinguish which one is the original by looking at "Lego" word on the parts..

Same with the torso, line printed on the leg is bolder.. and the position of the pattern is lower compared to the original.

This figure has 5 parts, and IMHO the only replacement that you need to make it look closer to original figure is just replacing the cape.. the other parts - purple colour mask, torso, leg and dual sided face is exclusive to the figure and to date is not available with other minifigure. If i don't have original SDCC figure, i don't mind having bootleg and i can live with those differences that i highlighted above. USD200 figure versus USD2 figure - justification is not necessary... unless you are true collector and the only way to gain satisfaction is only with original figure.. but that's different story. 

I save the best part for last... I'm sure Lego purposely do this but it's bugging me. The bat logo on the chest is not symmetrical =O.. but the logo on SY is.

I really hope Decool will come out with better printing quality of this batman..
