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 :)

It's confirmed. LEGO #5004590 Batpod by Decool.

To be honest i'm very afraid to log in this google and blog account.. i can't imagine how many unanswered email and comments after a month since my last log in >_<.

My excuse this time? My OnePlus screen shattered to million pieces and my replacement phone don't have LTE (lol). Oh wait, there's more.  I was laptopless for a few weeks. In the same month, i sent my macbook to Apple for repair because.. guess what? screen related problem too. :(. On top of that, they also make a diagnosis that the laptop battery need to be replaced :(. cost for all the repair? RM3,169 (about $782). That amount to repair 3 years old laptop is just insane. i could buy a new laptop with that price.. not macbook of course.


Luckily i bought AppleCare+ 3 years ago meaning the laptop is still under warranty, so the repair is FOC! 



They made a mistake with the warranty period because i send the unit just a few days before the warranty end but they come out with the diagnosis one day after the warranty end. Phew... $700 repairs FOC. I purchased the extended warranty for about $150. It was definitely worth it. I just hope this machine can last another 3 years.. aha.. Confession time: I'm a cheapskate ;p

Hey, I still have not made any paragraph related to LEGO >_<.. I miss typing and babbling in this blog. 

Before i upload tons of SY600 LEGO Deadpool pictures, i would like to ask you.. is this picture real? I'm going to upload post about SY600 LEGO Deadpool in my next post. really excited with this upcoming set... LEGO Batpod!


wait.. what? Seriously LEGO #5004590 Batpod? Only 1,000 set made worldwide. lol.. this set cost $192 (RM780) sourced from loose parts and the original with box cost at least $1,600 (RM6,486).



It is real. found this link on aliexpress. 



$23.85 for 338++ pieces set is kinda expensive to me. I expect the price will not exceed $20 when more seller have it. but still, $23.85 vs $192 set.. The imitation cost 12% of original set. (again with the numbers huh) you can do many other things with that excess of money.. (^_^)'. Now more people will be able to buy and play with this set.

Hey that's all for now. I gotta do something with those unread emails and comments. I definitely will read all of them and try my best to reply most of it but I would like to apologize in advance if I overlook them.

SY605 LEGO Iron Man Minifigures

It's finally here! Time to update your LEGO Iron Man collection :)







What do you think about the idea of Iron Man with wings or jet-pack? >_<.


If you notice, I accidentally broke one of the blue flame parts in this set:








Various type of add-on jet pack for iron man: 



Put aside the extra parts, let's focus on the minifigures yeay!

LEGO Iron Man Mark 32 nickname "Romeo"



LEGO Iron Man Mark 21 nickname "Midas"



LEGO Iron Man Mark 27 nickname "Disco"



LEGO Iron Man Mark 29 nickname "Fiddler"



LEGO Mark 2



LEGO Iron Man Mark 31 nickname "Piston"

arghh! Can I assume this is a battle damaged variant of Piston with such defect on the mask? :(


LEGO Iron Man Mark 28 nickname "Jack"



LEGO Iron Man Mark 37 nickname "Hammerhead"
a.k.a LEGO Scuba Iron Man from LEGO #76048 Iron Skull Sub Attack



Now that you see it, you cannot unsee it. As it has been told by several readers in my previous post, the gap between the body and the helmet is too wide, exposing their neck. nothing wrong with the helmet.. but according to @ritche hortillo, this is because of the longer heads neck in newer Iron Man from Sheng Yuan. You can fix this neck issue easily using sandpaper :). Thanks for the tips @ritche hortillo.


  • Romeo, Fiddler, Jack, Piston and Hammerhead are new and first time issued by bootleg brand (Dargo has transparent version of Jack and Piston but the quality is horrible imho)
  • Hammerhead is 100% imitation from LEGO
  • Disco is also available in DLP9002 by Duo Le Pin 
  • Midas and Mark 2 - already issued several times by other brands


I am very satisfied with all minifigures in this set except Mark 2 and Midas. They are missing outline/color at the eye area.. is it possible they are in "offline mode"? Haha



Comparison with Decool (on left side): which one looks more attractive?





Okayyy thats's all for now. I know I have homework for the next few days >_<.


Yup, this is how I keep all my LEGO Iron Man this whole time O_o.
