Decool 7112 The Batwing

I do not believe this is my first post for this year. haha. Happy new year guys!  Time passes so fast :(. It's already in the third week of January and here's my first post for 2016 (^_^)". I have some knock-off LEGO minifigure sets (that are no longer up to date) for review. It's very unfortunate because I had taken pictures  of them to share with you guys but due to time constraints (200% because of work stuff), those pictures just stranded in my laptop.

However, I am sure all of you have something to look forward to (or more precisely, an updated list of items to be purchased this year haha). I myself eyeing for Ghostbuster HQ (Firehouse Headquarters 75827), Brick Bank 10251, mighty micros Marvel super heroes (you know I'm only interested with the minifigures haha), and all DC and Marvel 2016 Super Heroes set. Star Wars The Force Awaken LEGO set? Hmm, i'll pass that. I will buy Lepin's instead :P

My want-to-buy list is a nightmare. I still have a lot of 2015 Lego set to complete but now I am planning to buy 2016 set. uh, not to mention my other collection that I try to keep up such as 2016 6" Star Wars Black Series figure and Tomica :(. They are not cheap considering the weakening Malaysia Ringgit  (RM) day by day. my wallet is bleeding. I think I should attend some sort of money management courses (^_^)"..

Anyway, here's my quick post for today. I've decided to less talk. more pics instead. This imitation by Decool is the exact copy of Lego #7782 The Batwing: The Joker's Aerial Assault.

The original Lego set was released in 2006, with 517 parts. Obviously the difference in the number of pieces is for the helicopter. The current price for this set is between $ 250 and $ 550. phew.

As you can see, there's 3 minifigures in this orignal set by LEGO; grey-suited Batman, The Joker and henchman minifigures.. but we won't get henchman from Decool's :(

What you get in the box: 6 bags and loose 12x12 plate:

Cover image of the manual booklet. Look at the rear page! There's catalogue of past/future Decool release! Wow.. 7111 is for the tumbler. cannot wait to have that :).

Joker and Batman from this set:

Unfortunately Decool give us different variant of Joker (Joker with Lime Vest) from newer sets released in 2012-2015.  As for Batman, they got the right torso but different face/cowl from original LEGO figure.

Original LEGO figure in #7782

Assembled Batwing. It looks really amazing. So majestic.

Stand for Batwing with flip-down ladder. The exact same pieces and build with original set.

Batman in action:

Printed parts. Even LEGO use sticker for these:

Decool 7105 Tumbler (imitation of #7888 The Tumbler: Joker's Ice Cream Surprise), Decool 7112 Batwing (imitation of #7782 The Batwing: The Joker's Aerial Assault) and Decool 7108 Bat-Tank (imitation of Lego #7787 The Bat-Tank: The Riddler and Bane's Hideout) in one picture :). I need to fork out at least $500 if i want to build all these with original LEGO parts. 

Actual cost here: $70.




I know some of you have a way to contact Decool to propose a set of interest to be produced. I hope you can get them to produce this :P. 

source: google

No, i'm not kidding. please persuade them to issue this batpod. Only 750 units were produced  and the price on ebay will make your eyes pop out.

Even sourcing the parts separately will make its cost $ 399.99? This is outrageous.

Decool 0205 - 0210 Super Heroes

I believe everybody's busy with hundreds of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Episode VII) toys and other items related and I'm here still writing about AOU (Avengers 2: Age of Ultron) minifigures lol.

There is a correction to the number of AOU characters that have been issued by Decool until now. In this post, I did mention that to date, Decool has issued 12 AOU decool minifigure but with the addition of 5 AOU minifigure from this set, the total is 17.

I do not know why Winter Soldier has been included in this set while the other figures in this set are AOU minifigures. There is still AOU character that has not been produced by Decool (Hydra Henchman for example) but there is no label on the box indicates that this set (0205-0210) is for AOU theme so they can include whatever characters they want in the usual set of 6 they issued.

Characters in this set are:

0205 - Iron Man Mark 43

0206 - Thor

0207 - Captain America

0208 - Hawkeye

0209 - Black widow

0210 - Winter Soldier

The minifigures with accessories and weapons:

Each minifigures come with a transparent super jumper, game/trading card and mini catalog (not in the pic):

Comparison with original Lego figure on right:

I was a little disappointed with the quality of Winter Soldier produced by Decool in this set. Here's a close-up photo that show printing on the arm and leg. You can see clearly how bad the printing is. perhaps we have to rely on Sheng Yuan for this figure. FYI, Decool has issued Winter Soldier in the past year (Decool 0138), but it is a different variant. 

I might complain too much but I believe SY can do better :)

Decool 0231 Mark 38 Igor

I am very excited with this set and can not wait to share with you all. It's Decool  0231 Mark 38 Igor!

No catalog or game cards included.  Unassembled parts:

What do you think of this set? I love the silver color they print on those small part on the body. The spot is the same as the actual figure. you will see in the next picture.

I think it is the cheaper alternative to Hot Toys figure. lol.

Comparison with Igor from Lele 78058:

Size comparison, side by side with Decool Hulkbuster from 0181 and AOU Hulk:

I will use a lot of pictures from Hot Toys to see the similarities with this figure.
