[REVIEW] Four SDCC minifigures

[kaelthas]

My 33rd review is a wee bit scary as one scratch on the minifigure will cost an arm and a leg. These four SDCC minifigures are carrying the price of around 2 UCS Millenium Falcon (new one) and I'm risking my life playing around with them as they are loaned units from my friend Ian Ooi, taken from him in Kuala Lumpur during a fun gathering dinner.

They don't come by everyday, so let's see what we have here.

The packaging is standard non sealed SDCC clear plastic with a card inside. The minifigures are clearly displayed inside the 'box' and the designs are really impeccable. 

1. The Collector - San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Exclusive

This card is quite special among the four as you can see the minifigure is printed inside the card. The back of the card is only printed with colourful circles on purplish black background. 

 Taneleer Tivan is well printed with his renowned purple flowery outfit, along with a 'necklace' pinned on his pocket. The shirt design looks like Chinese traditional outfit. He comes with a White Minifigure, Cape Cloth, Serrated Edges coded 12857 which appeared in 70009 and 70011 back in 2013 Chima's sets. As exclusive as it is, the cape is quite cheap to be acquired. His legs are printed at the hip area as a continuity to his torso, and both side of his legs as a decoration to his pants maybe? He comes with dual facial expressions and 3 round plates which represents the Aether in a container that was passed to him by Lady Sif and Volstagg. 

Hello Brother.

'Then you are more of a fool than I took you for.'

2. Deadpool Duck - San Diego Comic-Con 2017 Exclusive

 

The red was chosen so that the enemy won't see you bleeding. I liked the colour scheme used in this card. At the back of the card LEGO is promoting the MARVEL Super Heroes 2 game in 2017. 

According to marvel fandom.com, this deadpool duck is actually the relative to Howard the Duck and he is from Earth 616 in the Multiverse. The history of this character is unknown but stated that he is the fusion of Howard the Duck and Deadpool. The head mold is amazing and the printings of his deadpool eyes are very nice. At the back of the head you can see the wrinkles produced by the head mask similar to human deadpool version. The legs aren't printed. The torso prints are superb front and back. The deadpool belt buckle, ammo pockets and the brown straps are very recognisable. 

Quack. 

3. All New Captain America (Sam Wilson) - San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Exclusive

Falcon is finally the taking the helm of Captain America like what we got in Avengers Endgame. But this is the SECRET WARS version of Sam Wilson as printed at the back of the card. 

He looks funny with his red glasses. Does he look like that in the comic? (Tell us in the comments) He came with dual facial expressions. and the shield he is holding is not really exclusive. The blue and reds are very nicely used here especially at front and back of the torso. His jetpack was printed at the back with a star at the centre and the red coloured wings are kept inside the jetpack. At the front the uniform is very nicely designed on a white base.

Comparison of Sam Wilson. 

Jealous White Wolf.

4. Steve Rogers Captain America - San Diego Comic-Con 2016 Exclusive

 

This is my favourite among the four. I love the blue abstract background of the card.

 

He is GORGEOUS! I think this is the only version of Captain America with leg printings and the prints are so detailed! The shield is also a very nice addition to this minifigure as it is not the usual round vibranium shield. 

Who is worthy?

Review summary
Design: 10/10 - I love all the designs except for Sam who looks a bit cartoonish.
Minifigures: 10/10 - Impeccable. 
Price / Value for money: 3/10 - Very EXPENSIVE. 
Overall: 7.5/10 - If its not because of the price, the score would be 10/10.

My favourite is Steve Rogers Captain America too ...I like the old comics look

[Park7573]

Interesting review, I didn't even know these mini figures existed. I like the first mini fig with the purple flowery outfit but my favourite is absolutely Deadpool duck, that head mold is hilarious and amazing. I can't believe how expensive they are though!

[makoy]

What's weird is seeing these minifigures outside the packaging. Like you mentioned, these minifigures cost ridiculous amount of money and none of them should be worth that much, but they are. Lucky that our friend loaned you these.

As for the review itself -- you did  a great job on comparing them with the regular minifigures. Frankly, I want to see LEGO release a variant of these SDCC widely to the public so that it won't alienate the rest of the people who actually want these minifigures.

[legostarwars1425]

All of these figures are extremely unique, but my favorite has to be the Captain America Minifigure. I really wish I could've gotten my hands on any of these. I think that it is interesting that they used Donald Duck's head mould for Deadpool. Now that I think of it, a Deadpool duck would look nice next to my 2013 Deadpool... I might have to consider that one.

This is a mighty fine review, @kaelthas so I have posted it on the Eurobricks frontpage!

[Don Neimoidte de la Mancha]

I am in love with the deadpool duck... one day if I am the multimillionaire I will be getting these.

It's weirder to hold them in hand. It's not happiness when the minifigures are not your own. The stress is real, haha. 

Thanks for your kind words! If they are released widely, they won't cost that much already..

How is one knowing if they are getting a real one or a false? Is there some way to be telling?

Yup, I feel lucky to have him along with most of the other 2012/2013 Avengers sets. He truly is a really interesting piece of LEGO Marvel history.

[Thedarkmaster2]

Can I be honest? These are cool minifigures that shouldn't be exclusive.

[Gomek]

I really wish there was more backlash against these things. There is really no reason these figures couldn't be 'preview' figure giveaways and released later.

[Pchan1983]

Wow, looking at the price... I don't think I will ever spend money on these but your reviews made me want them more...

I wish Lego stop making exclusives like this =(
