Robianco Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 They do have their similarities... I'd say the moulding of the figures, the fact they have single sided heads and their print quality for a new brand is more of a link. I'm not sure how things work there but I'm thinking they're either an offshoot or a company that have taken over the old presses of SY.
agoodfella77 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Wasn't the Spiderman set the one with the nice looking web spurts? I think it was a few pages back but I'm not sure if it was DLP. I must have missed this, but I am most likely going to get it... whenever they start appearing that is!
jeduh Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Oh man, to everyone who was looking forward for my dargo AOU set, it was cancelled and I've been refunded. Sad thing that I could get it :(
jeduh Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 What!? why!? dargo no longer exists? I dno!? I ordered from taobao through a purchasing service and the seller apparently didn't reply :(
Robianco Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I reckon you'll be able to get those from AE. I do think that the Dargo set will be horrible... but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks rob, I've made another order with another seller. Hopefully the order goes through this time round :/ gotta wait again...
_dargor_ Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I was thiking if there is any way of getting some of the Shen Yuan´s Thor Helmet loose, because I think they are great for medieval fantasy.
Sebiron Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I need one of those Thor helmets with sculpted hair, good stuff. Thanks you!! How do you fix the shield at the back of CA? I reduced and cut this piece and glued it in the back of the figurine ^^,
The Lego Nolan Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 With the worst Carnage known to man. I think that it could possibly be a wrestling outfit like the one from the first movie of raimis trilogy.
Robianco Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I think that it could possibly be a wrestling outfit like the one from the first movie of raimis trilogy. I know what you mean but it's not remotely close to that... It's a bit of lots of things without managing to be anything!

Tyberious Funk Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Has anyone seen anything about the new Tribes and Castles line from SY? Some shots were posted earlier in the thread, that looked like they came from some kind of toy fair. They looked like complete, ready-to-sell products -- not just concepts. But I haven't come across anything on Ali Express. One of the problems with buying stuff from AE, is that it comes without the box or catalogue. I don't care about the box... but if SY have a new catalogue, I'd love to see it.
Sebiron Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Maybe one day a good bootlegger will make the 1966 version... SY, DLP,请多关照 b1 by sebiron, on Flickr

I don't care about the box... but if SY have a new catalogue, I'd love to see it. I buy all my SY figures with boxes. The last few waves I got never hand anything inside. No cards/catalogues/instructions. Instructions have moved to the side of the box.
Amset-Rah Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Maybe one day a good bootlegger will make the 1966 version... *snip* SY, DLP,请多关照 b1 by sebiron, on Flickr This. I thought the SDCC '66 Batmobile was a little compact for my tastes. If Lego doesn't make one, I'm sure SY could do a good job. Just copy the Lego Batman 3 design (Which for my money looks like a better model)
Borex Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Today i received my sy vehicle with black bolt and i must say i'm pretty impressed with both the figs and the builds. Of course the builds would never be approved if released by lego because they're way unstable, but i like the designs and i like some of the bricks too. The figs are also great. I'm more a comic guy than a movie guy so i thought i wouldnt care for that magneto, but he's awesome. I don't know if they copied some peoples designs again, but sy did really good imho. I hope sy will continue this level of quality and bring us more sets and figs (and hopefully more characters that arent done already)

jangosolo Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 My DLP set arrived today - very quick! It's brilliant, several notches above the last SY set (Dr Strange) I received recently. A lot of flat silver on Ultron and Thor - ace!
ClickDastardly Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 For any newbies to this thread, here is my opinion (from best to worst) of knockoff brands I personally own. I don't have any DLP brand yet, but based on the previous post, it sounds like they would fall into the first category. From best to worst, I personally find things fall into 4 categories. Your mileage may vary, since sometimes it's potluck when getting these figures. (In general, the best) SY (Sheng Yuan) Decool (Pretty good stuff. Elephant did my all time favorite figures - the Iron Man mashups of other superheroes) Elephant Doll (Sometimes loose arms/legs. Dargo has better printing than Lele) Dargo Lele (Pretty awful. More frequent loose arms/legs, and ill fitting pieces. Print quality not great) JLB (Jia Li Bo) LEBQ (Le Bao Quan) IQ CB
jangosolo Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Yes, I would definately place them in the top category - the printing and general quality (inc use of silver plastic) is absolutely superb. Arms though are in no way compatible with SY, they just drop out of the SY torsos! Edited May 1, 2015 by jangosolo
Panther Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Yes, I would definately place them in the top category - the printing and general quality (inc use of silver plastic) is absolutely superb. Arms though are in no way compatible with SY, they just drop out of the SY torsos! Very good to hear!! Did you find them on aliexpress?
B-Lister Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I only do it with convention exclusives that would be imposdibly expensive otherwise. If they ever did a Magneto Mobile, I'd buy it.
jangosolo Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Very good to hear!! Did you find them on aliexpress? Yes, ordered on 24th April, arrived 1st May!
