Krikkit Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 That Heatwave at least looks like it will be better than the utter rubbish in the Xinh set. I'm really not that hopeful for these Dargo sets but with the big investment in design on creating so many unique figures I just hope they've not gone half arsed on them. I'll just keep things crossed that SY do Arsenal soon. I'll be updating the artwork on my Flickr now that Phil has posted images of the back. Idon't think they have designed these, they look just like the ones from Ebay from small green pea and online sailin etc...
Robianco Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Idon't think they have designed these, they look just like the ones from Ebay from small green pea and online sailin etc... True... But they've had to create the artwork for each one and maybe expand their moulds to cover all the hair and helmets etc. it's one thing to have reference material but recreating it for each figure for front, back, head etc ready for print is a sizeable task. How bad is the quality of the XINH set? I heard their Gjostbusters set wasn't that bad so I went ahead and ordered the XINH Heatwave when it showed up on Aliexpress. When I looked at the listing that sold them individually they looked pretty bad. The Ghostbusters set wasn't totally awful looking at Digger's review but the design of some of them looked terrible. Even though reverse Flash's torso looks like it's printed in dark orange (or similar) it at least looks like it's a clean muscle design with the Flash look done quite well. I'll stick with genuine Lego arms, legs and head with the SY helmet so I'm really only hopeful they get that print right.

Ghostbusters set is OK, its just that they didn't bother to vary the colour of the Hair - its all the same! Which doesn't match the pics. The backbacks are different too
jangosolo Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Can tou post a pic of the packs? Having had them out again, the print isn't too shabby either - plus rounded torso and proper shoulders, its the plastic that isn't quite right, good enough for display though - they may get a place in my revised frames afterall (after I slightly recolour the 3 brown hair pieces anyway!) It also seems that Peter's normal face is too low. He'll have to remain scared. There wasn't any instructions for the packs, so this is my stab at it! Edited August 9, 2015 by jangosolo
flyinginfant Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Oh geez. A Modok. Why's it gotta be in a set though? Gah! All I want is Flash and Modok darnit. These all look great btw.

Doesn't look like it does. :\
flyinginfant Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Meh I went ahead and ordered, lol. My 11 year old can have the ones I don't want. :D

In fact, I'd be willing to pay up to 1/2 the price of a typical set for a single fig ($2 or 3 bucks). Rationale for me is simple, I'm now inundated with leftover pieces and figs -- I'm going to need a storage room for them all!

Rationale for me is simple, I'm now inundated with leftover pieces and figs -- I'm going to need a storage room for them all! yes, many times I buy the whole set because I want just one minifigure, the batman from sdcc is a example, but now a lot of sellers are selling single minifigures and that is great, I hope they keep updating the list Yeah I've seen that one, but it doesn't say on there whether he has the chair or not.

Adnan Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) http://cache.lego.co...ons/6079482.pdf Page 8 has instructions for the lego chair. You can easily build it or a variation of it with left over bootleg pieces. The bootleg chair is different to the official one. Btw. I think it's great Lego made a physical version of a character like MODOK. I'd love to see them do more comic characters like Arnim Zola or Baron Zemo. However, I doubt they ever will, with Zola appearing in the MCU and Baron Zemo set to appear in Civil War ? Edited August 10, 2015 by Adnan

Robianco Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 http://www.aliexpres...2432713251.html What's the odds on those windows being printed instead of stickers?
kid Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 What's the odds on those windows being printed instead of stickers? Slim to none. The hulkbuster set used stickers and the SY mechs (360) also used stickers. I ordered a few sets to try and build a larger scale avengers tower.
Flaminatrix1 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Just got my Igor if anyone wants scale against anything :)

wickedlemon Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Gah! It was around £10 yesterday! I decided I didn't need it, but man that was a bargain For once I managed to grab a bargain instead of normally missing them. Guess when other's started listing for £20-30 they released they'd made an error. Oops.
