I like where SY was going with Groot using the longer legs, but the execution is just off. Will definitely wait to get the set on the cheap. Very happy with the Decool set for now.

You'd have me beat due to the number of structures that came with your figs. Some of us, like me, aren't interested in those. Those extra buildings and vehicles jack the price waaaay above what I want to pay for a little bit of plastic that makes up a minifig.

And I have no problem with that. How much do the customizers pay for the Marvel license they are making money off of? They are stealing ideas off Marvel, and in turn, bootleggers are stealing the customizer's ideas.

Are they more illegal than the ones customizers paint up and sell?

Man, I was originally excited for that Red Snapper fig from the new IM set, but upon closer inspection, I see he is just holding a megaphone (or something similar) with a red wrench attached. For a while, I thought he had special arms Consider my enthusiasm for this set completely gone. Ah well.

Eh, only interested in Red Snapper. Pretty full up on IM as it is.

Depends on the company. Decool figs, for instance, have sharper shoulders and a different connection type between the upper torso and waist. Sheng Yuan seem to have rounder arms with different pegs. Sometimes there are color or detail differences (not necessarily better or worse depending on your preference).

Is there another thread for discussion of the bootleg sets?

I'm sure they were going for this look on Human Torch:

Looks like he may have a waist cut.

LEGO will have to make bootlegs of Decool's Thing.
