If past releases of Xinh are anything to go by, they will be the actual appearance of the figures :)

No, past releases of Xinh were:

1st-preview of the figures with real lego / renders

2nd- after a few days, the previews change to see actual figure photos

We all hope dual moulded legs. Xinh and Decool have made dual molded helmets, so maybe it's closer than ever

The thick cape should be the giveaway that it's just the genuine Lego figure in the shots. I think some of the SW images actually still had the Lego logo on the side of the blasters visible.

If they did dual moulding that would be great as a cheaper way of getting them... I would just hope they would offer different colour variations to official Lego stuff such as red/yellow legs for Flash etc.

If nothing else getting Supes hair at a cheap cost would be good also.

I think people are misunderstanding me :) I stated they would be the actual "appearance" as in from what I have seen, Xinh has never done a jlb by releasing a product vastly different than what they show.

Does anyone else not really like dual molded legs for most figures. I love the idea, but the boots always look too high for my liking.

Yeah, that thick cape is the major clue they were using official TLG official pics. I totally agree Rob, if they do dual molded legs, would be a great resource esp. if they do a variety of color combos not yet released officially.

Yeah, but its more of a case of taking what you can get. I also agree that the boots are a tad high, but its certainly better than nothing.

I hate the gap when boots are printed much more.

Who is xinh 223? And i dont think the figs will have twomoulded legs btw. When are bootleggers capable of doing so.

I think its Aquaman from the new DC cinematic universe.

SY610 NICK KNIGHTS (lol)

No bots. :( I hoped they will release bootleg versions of the little bots that are in every Nexo Knights sets. I love those guys!

I use a polishing cloth made called micro mesh, came across it through the industry i work in(gas turbine engines) it comes in many grades and can get a really great finish!! Not cheap but if you search ebay y8u should find some polishing boards(like nail files) these have several grades to achieve a high finish

Hope this helps

nail file! that's a good idea.

for now, I used some acetone on a q-tip, it melted the plastic and clear the rough edges. it's still not perfect but i'm close...

(what a waste on time, it's my first and last POGO figure)

Had a few pogo figs now, always seems to be a bit of excess molding on legs, but its easy removed with a craft knife, i have a pipe deburring tool to do inside the leg holes, this makes them look okay, one arrived with a very damaged head(puncture marks from a knife!!!!) seller refunded that one tho, the rest are okay not the best but useable for army building!!! The robin figure with motorbike was very dull on the torso but the rest was good and the bike was pretty awesome!!!

Has anybody seen the bootleg Dark Phoenix by Doll? I can't track it down for the life of me.

It's been off the market for quite some time now, they've stopped producing that set

And i thought it was quite expensive back then, so i missed it too. I was under the impression that she would show up in a decool or sy wave. Too bad she didn't.

Has anyone bought any of the SY microfighters?

If you are talking about the Star wars ones, I've purchased most of them, and they are great. I had one lose piece on the star destroyer, but other than that they were all really solid. The figures are excellent as are the printed bricks. No stickers, thankfully.

That's good to hear. I want to buy them for the clone pilots and phase II clones

A couple of points with regards to the Iron Man figs:

1) Marks 8 to 11 (are generally slight generic variations of the Mk 7 (red / gold), similarly, Marks 12 to 14 are generic steel based armors its not until Mark 15 (Sneaky) do you get a "name" variant which is unique (at least in my mind). In other words, from Mark 8 to 14 are really a mix of red/gold and steel variants which are unlikely to be made (although I must say Ramon did some nice stickers of some of these variants recently).

2) I never counted the transparent variants (although I can understand why others would -- its a personal choice).

Therefore, in my mind, we have (at least) 8 more unique "named" variants left to be released -- and I'm confident we will get those at some point. I would be happy to call it a day with those in my collection.

p.s. has anyone ever seen a Groot minifig (not the Big Fig) the one from SY257 sold as a single? Would appreciate a link if anyone has. thanks!
