pmptstc1 Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Hi everone. I'm new here but I've been reading this post for a while, with interest ! I'm quite interested in the Apocalypse Pogo series, espacially since I've seen the movie, but I've heard and read that Pogo is shitty quality. Printing is very poor, etc. What about now ? Are they getting better ? Somebody already bought and received this series ? Thanks. PS : I'm not gonna use Comic Sans font, don't you worry, guys ! Pogo is much improved, and definitely worth buying for figures no one else has done. Printing could still be better, and the molding on the hands and arms on some of figures is still crap,though. Their new Mystique is better than Xinh's, and, I would say, is on par with the best bootleg brands have to offer. You should spend the $0.85-$1 on some figures and see if you like them.
wilson3a10 Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Wilson, how is the head beneath black panthers mask? Here it is. Just an ordinary head. The eye opening of mask is just at right position of the eyebrow of the head.
dirk Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 It's crappy minifigure day: Today it's the Mandalorian Super Commando from MG brand. so bad.

I'm already buying some SY and Decool figures. I'm waiting for Iron Men's DLP and Xinh's Mystique ordered but always been afraid of Pogo. Now that you're telling this, I think I'll take my chance. I know it's not that pricy but it's always better if the figure is nice and well printed, no matter the price you paid for it.

To be honest, even at their worst, Pogo aren't that bad. The main issue is they used matte prints, which will wear away more easily. But I tend to just display mine, and for that purpose they're as good as any other brand.
lglh Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I'm displaying mine too, under glass so no risk of scratching those. Waiting for your photos, pmptstc1 ;)
Robianco Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I had a load of stuff arrive over the last week or so and I'm quietly impressed by the quality of figures such as Archangel and Prof X. I switched out a few parts of the classic Quicksilver and the figure works well. Some of the stuff I've received has also been utter crap. The SY Iron Man set with various backpacks and wings was awful. Truly terrible. The Xinh Aquaman was actually really good although I added Thorin's head and hair to update it.. the print on the arms is really well done. Unfortunately the Deathstroke and Batman from that set were so bad I actually just threw them in the bin and keep the guns.
Borex Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Here it is. Just an ordinary head. The eye opening of mask is just at right position of the eyebrow of the head. Thank you! I also like the look of his helmet from the side. Nice figure, will order!

Hey Rob, would be great if you could post some pics of the Quicksilver and others when you get a chance... btw, is Marvel pulling you back in? :)
Graysson Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Hey guys! Some days ago i posted here a picture of a 8/pcs set with agent 13, in the end we didn't know where it came from, and i found an answer: So it looks like it's made by M brand.From what i have seen they are trying to be the new XINH, they are making a lot of mini figures on single sale, and re-making some of XINH figures.
Robianco Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Hey Rob, would be great if you could post some pics of the Quicksilver and others when you get a chance... btw, is Marvel pulling you back in? :) Ha...NO! For 60p I'm always interested to see what kind of quality companies are putting out and I've got a little bag of Marvel figures that are bootleg but really good quality that I'm keeping. The Mystique, Archangel, Ice Man, Quicksilver, Ms Marvel and Prof X are probably staying. My daughter grabbed the Psylocke, She Hulk and Rogue before I got a chance so I've not seen the quality properly but the She Hulk looks very good in the bag. I'll pos the pic when I get a chance later. Edited May 21, 2016 by Robianco

Lol I already told you this was M brand :P That 8 figure set is M brand, can't remember where I spotted it, but there was an image of them, which when you zoomed in you could see the M on the stands. On page 322 ;) New Pogo superhero bikes, nothing special, but there is a hydra bike that might be handy to some people, and a deadpool printed bike http://www.aliexpress.com/item/8pcs-Super-Heroes-Minifigures-deadpool-Iron-Man-death-knell-Hydra-Minifigures-With-Motorcycle-Baby-Toys-compatible/32669260789.html?spm=2114.01010108.3.186.6T2nYo&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_0,searchweb201602_1_10037_10033_507_10032_10020_9914_10017_10021_10022_10009_10008_10018_10019_101,searchweb201603_7&btsid=0650f3ac-ec10-49b8-9dfc-3834ce95f8fc
mooproxy Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Did anyone ever produce bootlegs of Beast Boy and Starfire? I'm pretty close to bricklinking them, but just double checking. I figured if they hadn't made any by now it's unlikely we'll see any at all.

I figured if they hadn't made any by now it's unlikely we'll see any at all. Well if we're just now getting Harry Potter figures I'd say it's 50/50 chance
Panther Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Here it is. Just an ordinary head. The eye opening of mask is just at right position of the eyebrow of the head. The little bulbous nose looked a little strange at first but the whole helmet overall looks amazing. I think it would look even better with his Dr Strange-like black cape since the helmet is a little large proportionally

Panther Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 I tried. Looks better if a full white head is used. I see, shame there isn't a single sale for the OK classic BP fig, that torso looks fantastic. I hope Shengyuan does this head piece though, DLP's one is still a tad off in my opinion

I figured if they hadn't made any by now it's unlikely we'll see any at all. Not yet. I had to buy the LEGO set for these as my son's a huge Teen Titan Go! fan. I wouldn't give up hope. Sometimes it just takes a while for them to appear. It took ages for anyone (other than IQ who are awful) to do a Harleyquinn figure and both Nova and Spiderwoman were slow to appear.
kid Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 No doubt about it - The red figure in SY368 is Vision. From: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/SY368-heroes-assemble-newest-product-educated-building-blocks-1521-pcs-box/32668721980.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.286.JHsRaU
wickedlemon Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 No doubt about it - The red figure in SY368 is Vision. Interesting that there's no Vision figure in those photos. I'm guessing it's the only new character here.
wilson3a10 Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Vision in naked mode. I like it. Edited May 22, 2016 by wilson3a10
