That Fury figure looks like someone decided to make Falcon but then couldn't be bothered with the wings so just gave it black arms instead and made it Nick Fury instead.

I think mine will definitely be given reddish brown arms and a different head.... with some kind of wing assembly!

According to this article : http://www.thebrickfan.com/european-union-rules-lego-minifigures-are-protected-trademark/ The European Union ruled that Lego minifigures are a protected trademark......so how will this affect bootlegs.........

It probably won't. They're already selling copies of Lego sets without a great deal of fear... the fact the mini figure itself is now protected might not make a great deal of difference to them.

Places like eBay might start to clamp down even further on counterfeit products being listed on the site although I think most bootlegs are now clearly marked as such whereas in the past some dodgy sellers didn't make things that clear.

That's a great call!

Say bye bye to bootlegs..........

I'd find that highly unlikely considering all of the other items that come out of the region that already enjoyed similar protections...

I can see this impact distribution in the EU markets (TLG's home base). But I can't see how this will slow down production. Way too much demand. Simple Economics 101.

Allo, sorry, life got a little bit in the way - have been camping!

Here's a pic (with Red Skull's cape)

Thanks for throwing this up!

Does that apply to the entire eBay site internationally or just the euro version?

atleast ebay.de (germany) blocks alot of chinese sellers...the shops are there but seem to be empty...but there are workarrounds to this.

Those Frozen minifigures are brilliant. The print quality is top notch. The only negative thing I can say about them is that the face print is a little off centre on some of them. The torsos however look awesome!

They don't look too bad at all... at least in the torso and skirt print.

I just ordered the SY Spidey set as I want the Silk and Ghost Spider figures although I have Christo and PCB versions of the others.. interested to see how close SY have got to the PCB Spidey.

Did anyone pick up the DLP Spidey set? I seem to remember someone getting them but can't remember who and whether any good pics were posted? If anyone has them can they post a couple of good resolution shots of the SDCC Spidey figure? Is it worth picking up for that fig? I think I only have the Decool version but I'd prefer a DLP or SY.

If anyone has the SDCC fig from SY or DLP let me know and post some pics. I must admit I lost track from the old days when SY had pointed shoulders and inverted toes and Decool were slightly better to how they are now.

I have the dlp spideys. They are not that spectacular. I think the decool sdcc is better. Maybe the torso is slightly better. Hmm i'll have to check and will make pics later (unless someone beats me to it)

The decool sdcc head is better than dlp of course (twosided)

The faces are ok even though some of them are a little off centre from the nose. Yup, they have noses. Im not sure if Sheng Yuan minidolls have noses.. It doesnt look like they do from the pics Iv seen. I think these could possibly be the closest to minidolls than what any of the other brands are. Anyway Id give them a bloody woody 9/10! Thanks JIEGO :)

Where did you find these? I can't seem to find them on Aliexpress now. They are LEBQ brand or JLB?

Thanks.

On the left is the decool version. The head is way better than the dlp version, no comparison. Dlp's torso has its colour sharper, but decool's torsoprint is more accurate to the sdcc spiderman. Same thing goes for the legs.

I wanted this set especially for Spider-man 2099 and those webthingies. I knew spidey 2099 was in a sy set too, but never ordered that set for the fear of ugly spider-feet. After having the dlp avengers set (for comic/cartoon ultron) i gave dlp the benefit of the doubt and ordered this spider-wave. I must say i'm pretty dissapointed in this dlp series. The white colour of the webthingies are way off. They are not Lego-white so they look like they do not belong there. They are also made of an other kind of bendy plastic. My spidey 2099 his print is too saturated so i'm not really happy with him. The spider-man 3 (movie) black suit is sort of cool but his webmarks on his face make him look like he's grinning. Very distracting. The silver and gold are also not really good quality. The weirdest one is Carnage. He looks like he's a powerranger villain.

Thanks for the comparison. I've got a DLP Spidey set on the way as well -- (similar thinking -- wanted the 2099 and also that circular webbing) -- I guess I should temper my expectation.

I was also tempted at the LELE set 78018 -- anyone have any experience with those (compared to SY and DLP)?

They are a brand called JIEGO.

Could you post pics of the rest of the figures from that spiderman set?

TO DATE: Missing Iron Man figures (HALL OF ARMOR)

So by my count, here are the missing Iron Man figures that none of the Chinese makers have put out yet:

Mark 8 to Mark 14 (Mk 8-11 are generally slight variations of the Mk 7 and then starting from the Mk 12 start the steel based armors (i.e. non red / gold armors) -- up until Mk 14 nothing of note until Mk 15

​Mark 15 "Sneaky"

Mark 18 "Cassanova"

Mark 23 "Shades" (I love this one)

Mark 24 "Tank" (Heavy Combat Suit -- love this one too)

Mark 26 "Gamma" (Green with the Striker Hammer hands)

Mark 28 "Jack"(Orange and Black radiation suit)

Mark 29 "Fiddler" (Right handed Hammer)

Mark 30 "Blue Steel" (Silver and Blue upgraded version of the Silver Centurion -- probably my favorite of the ones not made so far)

Mark 31 "Piston" (Green and Silver)

Mark 32 "Romeo" (kind of looks like an upgraded version of Cassanova)

Mark 34 "Southpaw" (Disaster rescue -- one sided Snapper)

Mark 37 "Hammerhead" (Green deep sea)

Am I missing any? :)

i take it you are discounting the translucent Dargo set? im pretty sure that has Gamma, Jack, Blue Steel & Hammerhead if not

Yeah, I really wish they had not gone the translucent route -- hopefully someone makes the proper versions...

yeah same, although it wont look the same i will probably still display them with the normals.

what sets were MK18 & MK19 released in - i dont think i have them

I'm missing Mk 18 in my list -- thanks for that! :) Mark 19 is in the latest SY279 set (although the face plate will need to be painted).

oh yeah i remember reading about that, i ordered that set last week and didn't realise :) hopefully we shouldn't be long off another wave of Iron Man

Thanks for posting the Spiderman images. From what I can see the DLP is actually closer to the SDCC design.

The line weight of the webbing is a little heavy but the shape of the spider on the front and back are closer to the official version and the Decool has plain curved lines for the web pattern in the red area at the top of the torso whereas the DLP has the correct web scalloped lines.

I'll use the Decool head on it but I think mixing the two actually gives us a 95% copy of the original once you switch the arms out for regular Lego versions.
