Celox Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Interesting. Does your friend have any information on what happened to Decool or whether DLP is actually Decool 2.0? Btw, here are some updated pics on the Dargo new Iron Man wave -- unfortunately (for me at least) these are indeed trans. I'm really disappointed with this trend to go trans -- it really serves no purpose. I hope they come out with a non-trans version: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wholesale-DARGO-853-120Pcs-Building-Blocks-Super-Heroes-Avengers-Mini-figures-Heroes-Assemble-Iron-Man-Bricks/32324039783.html i think i posted previously that google translation from the chinese website stated that those dargo sets are transparent. i wish they weren't :( i want those IM not released by SY too! btw i have a SY IM misprint, that looks like he had a fight with Venom and Venoms black spiderweb stock onto IM masks lol even SY misprints are the best xD
Adnan Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 So glad to see Decool back! The only bootleggers that can make a decent mould of Superman's hair.

Robianco Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Digger has reviewed a recent Decool military set and the print on it looks digital rather than pad printed. They've got 360° printed heads as well as printed arms and full leg printing but the ink definitely looked raised rather than the flat effect you expect from pad printing. Maybe this is a new approach from them?
Tyberious Funk Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Digger has reviewed a recent Decool military set and the print on it looks digital rather than pad printed. Looks like Digger has got a lot of work on his hands in the next couple of weeks.
gundambob Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) For latest Decool Modern Military 308-311review. Decool is taking the design from X39 Brick Customs. Sheng Bao aka sub brand of Sheng Yuan had a new military series as well. It's call Falcon Commandos. Edited May 5, 2015 by gundambob

kid Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 The new Decool set it on AE http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Decool-Building-Blocks-Super-Heroes-Avengers-Minifigures-Justice-League-hawkman-superman-supergirl-brainiac-cyborg-batman-Figure/1613002_32336490348.html
Robianco Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 That Sheng Bao military set looks VERY nice. I think I'd have to replace the heads though as they just can't seem to get the proportions right. Looks like Decool have their distribution running properly... how long did we wait for DLP to finally hit?! I think I'll have to wait to see if that's a moulded wing piece first... other than that there's no reason to pick that set up.... or did someone way that the Supes was a new 52 variant? So glad to see Decool back! The only bootleggers that can make a decent mould of Superman's hair. I haven't see a single bootleg with decent Supes hair regardless of who made it... the side ear arches are just abysmal on all of them.
Adnan Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I haven't see a single bootleg with decent Supes hair regardless of who made it... the side ear arches are just abysmal on all of them. Decool's is tolerable. SY and all others is horrible.
Robianco Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Decool's is tolerable. SY and all others is horrible. Ha!... yeah... I think tolerable might be the most diplomatic way of putting it! If the Decool figure really is a new 52 variant I'll still be Bricklinking the hair as well as everything other than the torso.
Celox Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 @tkkim79 do you have any close ups of that dargo set? glad to see them NOT transparent!!
tkkim79 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 do you have any close ups of that dargo set? glad to see them NOT transparent!! no i don't but i think they are not transparent
jeduh Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 what do you think about these quality? They look pretty good actually, now I'm even more pissed for getting my order for this set cancelled. :(
Celox Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 i will order them once i see a digger review. my last dargo sets were all... well... dargo quality lol got my first dispute escaltation on AE. ordered four of a set (to do swappys) and only received two of four. seller refused partial refund. tried to rip me off. so stay away from "Kid's Toy Land"
kid Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Finally got my SY Doctor Strange. Here is a comparison with the custom I got from poppunkmunky . Poppunkmunky is on the left SY on the right. Edited May 5, 2015 by kid
Robianco Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 The SY version is actually a perfect copy of the Dr Strange that appears in the Marvel Lego game. They've just got the proportions on the head slightly off. I'm really looking forward to this one arriving... I'll be switching the head out straight away and maybe modding the Nizam with a thicker moustache... probably also changing the head out for a proper Lego version and adding the grey stripes myself. That Pop version is wrong on many levels.
Amset-Rah Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 You know, I'm kind of convinced to get the SY Dr. Strange set now, seeing how it looks compared to a custom that costs dollars more. The face I've grown to love on the SY, while the custom looks more like a traditional knockoff
Panther Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 no i don't but i think they are not transparent How do you rate the quality compared to SY and Decool?
Robianco Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 That's always annoying! I see Digger has reviewed the Falcon Commandos set... they looks really good for a military set. I think I'd have to change the heads again but the print on the torsos and legs looks great along with the camo weapons and packs.
summicron Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Sheng Yuan/Sheng Bao camoflaged weapons and minifigs look great. My only complain is they didn't use newer rifles.
