Adnan Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe these bootleg companies are never 100% accurate with the moulds cos they need something to separate them from Lego for legal reasons. Decool has the hip connectors which are hidden. SY's difference is the thick arms. However, the vehicles in the vehicle sets allows them to use normal shaped arms. Just a thought. Great tip for Dr Strange. I hope I can find a Nizam head on bricklink. I think that would look really good. Decool, where you at?? I miss the waiting for the mystery figures on their minifigure sheet.
Robianco Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I've thought that for a while actually. SY also seem to make very simple yet obvious changes to the design of their SDCC figures that means they can't be easily passed off as originals. There doesn't seem to be any other reason for them to make these changes.
Brickmamba Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 To be fair with SY, DLP's box designs are horrendous! SY has given us one of the best packaging sometimes at par with Decool. not that it really matters most of the sellers post without boxes to keep post down
jangosolo Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Looks like SY271 has hit Aliexpress - for pre order at least http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-NEW-8Pcs-SY271-Super-Heroes-The-Avengers-Iron-Man-Hulk-Minifigures-Building-Blocks-Figures-Brick/32324552796.html I need to see Digger's review first. Seems odd that 2 companies are producing pretty much the same set. Looks almost the same apart from Ultron's helmet (at the moment I feel that Duo's Ultron looks slightly better) Anyone seen the Duo set yet?
Robianco Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I've just managed to hit a wifi spot and watch Digger's review of the Duo set and I'll be picking one up even if just for the silver Mjjolnir! They look decent and for around 80p each or so they're worth picking up I think.

Looks almost the same apart from Ultron's helmet (at the moment I feel that Duo's Ultron looks slightly better) Anyone seen the Duo set yet? I agree that Duo's Ultron helmet looks better (at least a more faithful depiction to the comics). Also it would have been nice to have the Maria Hill exclusive instead of, say, the Hulk. But overall it looks good and I'll be getting this set for sure.
Sabbath Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 My vehicle set (with the SDCC Batman in it) just arrived and I've gotta say... the bricks have improved in quality a LOT. Still not 100% but definitely worth bootleg prices. The batman vehicle even has printed bricks (the others have stickers)
wilson3a10 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Is digger also living in hk? he got the new set pretty fast. Edited April 15, 2015 by wilson3a10
Robianco Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 With Digger having it they must be getting shipped already by the wholesalers so they can't be far away! I'm just waiting for them and the Flash wave to land before placing an order.
jangosolo Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Annoyingly SY set = better Hawkeye Hair / Duo = better Ultron Head (I think) Both have wrong Hulk and Black Widow hair! boo!
adalric Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Uh oh, the main person I buy minifigs on eBay, hanmeimei2012, suddenly has nothing listed. That's not good. :(
jeduh Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Has anyone been able to find sy271 on taobao? Edited April 15, 2015 by jeduh
Celox Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 anyone have first hand experience with the brand name "J&K"? i just came across those and they copycat decool but from pictures they look like they have better printing than decool.
jeduh Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 anyone have first hand experience with the brand name "J&K"? i just came across those and they copycat decool but from pictures they look like they have better printing than decool. Mind sharing the link?
Sebiron Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I don't think an upside down head means that DLP are SY... Printing mistakes can happen anywhere and even Lego have made them...
Robianco Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Yep... Even Lego. They've printed on heads that were the completely wrong colour!
gavralcraw Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I have a matching Nick Fury with uspide down head print - also from topsy turvey land. They should date...
kid Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I saw this a while back - Does anyone have the instructions to the MOC shield bike. I got mine from the seller but he has not E-mailed me the instructions yet : ( . If you have them can you message me? Thanks!
tkkim79 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 i saw these pics on chinese website wow~ can't wait
kid Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 i saw these pics on chinese website wow~ can't wait Black bolt looks good. The Magneto and Jean Grey look great. Those are some fantastic other figures he has: The Ice Man and Colossus look really sweet. No Picture of the Doom figure yet though.
wilson3a10 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 i saw these pics on chinese website wow~ can't wait Woo I'm gonna go out and see if I'm lucky to grab one. As expected the helmet of magneto is a repainted version of anime helmet.
PIGGY Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Woo I'm gonna go out and see if I'm lucky to grab one. As expected the helmet of magneto is a repainted version of anime helmet. Isnt the magneto just this?
Robianco Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Jean looks excellent there... Magneto and Black Bolt look pretty good too. It'll be nice to add Jean and DOFP Magneto to the mutant ranks.
