Opinions on knockoff Lego mini figs?
Just got this set from de cool -5 dollars and free shipping, quality is almost identical to real Lego.
Almost every minifigure you could ever want is bootlegged by them, why bother spending ridiculous money on overpriced official sets just for figures?

They're badass, where else would you get a Lego bane like this?
>>5420000
Forgot pic.
Lego will go the way of klenex in the near future. They cant keep up with their own liscensing and their only audience is adults now. Theyre doomed
No resale value for these whatsoever.
>>5420013
They cost 5 dollars for a set of six so, nobody's planning on reselling them anyway. It's just cool having a Lego Heath ledger when the only way to get an official one is in a 200 dollar set.
>>5419983
I they look exactly like that pic, then they're kinda shit. I'd rather do without than introduce KO parts into my sets.
>>5419983
Lego hitler, you know you want one.
>>5419983
If Lego makes the character, then I'll get the Lego one.
I'm sort a a purist when it comes to Lego.
Also I've handled some that feel sort of flimsy and pieces will come off too easily.
>>5420029
I never knew I needed this.
>>5420137
Now you know.
These are usually cheaply made, don't fit together correctly, break, and for some reason smell really bad
I find the quality variable. Sheng Yuan ninjago look and feel excellent, but I I don't think much of their Marvel Black Widow.
Decool look OK, but they aren't as well made.
Enlighten etc arent great. I buy those brands for bricks, not the often freakish figures.

Decool on the left and SY on right. That face print is off (and it's fleshy capeshit)
>>5422588
aliexpress is great for knockoffs www.aliexpress.com/item//32562494866.html
can't find a single sale for the hitler, only the whole set
the ww2 ones are duo le pin which is supposedly a sub-brand of sheng yuan, which is one of the better brands
Has any one gotten the microfighters 6 packs on Aliexpress. $25 for 6 when the falcon is like $30 is tempting
>>5422778
Decool are usually better quality. SY sometimes doesn't add the alternate faces on for whatever reason.
>>5423701
I've never seen an SY with an alternate face.
Just walking in the mall one time I saw this.
>>5424335
I picked up this guy, and he's actually pretty great.
>>5420001
He's a big fig.
>>5424335
Whatever brand that is, it picked up where Decool left off. It's a knockoff of a knockoff. Why am I not surprised?
At least they know what fans want
Funny thing, minifigs are no longer protected by patent law; it's the franchises they're with that causes trouble.
>>5424478
So you could make your own minifigures and can sell them as long as you dont violate copyright themes?
I thought the form of minifigures are copyrighted forever.
>>5424478
Really?
I thought it was the only the brick patent that expired, not the minifig one.
>>5423257
also great if you want to get your identity stolen
>>5426147
>2016
>Not knowing how reliable aliexpress is.
>>5426147
you're not handing over your routing and account numbers to random vendors, it's CC payments that all go through alipay
>>5424478
This is incorrect. Minifgs are still protected. It's the bricks that aren't.
>>5424335
Are you in Barcelona senpai
anyone here who can help me identify and know where I can get this custom star wars fig

more pics

>Looking at more of Enlighten Pirates
>There's a wizard hut, Turtle Boat, Alligator Robot, SEVERAL sexy boats.
This would make an awesome series.
I'm still trying to find the scorpion which I think comes with purple waifu.
>>5427875
Look at this thing! It comes with Porkins Pirate, Leon S Kennedy Pirate, Merlin, and his sexy female apprentice.
Was this a Lego reject design, or something? Either that, or someone's grabbed themselves a top-notch designer (Or stole it, whatever)

I would consider that some moc-ers or so developed it for them.
Or they stole it from a moc?
Btw do you have a pic of the minis? cant find them.
Shen Yuan is the best.
Decool comes in a very close second.
There's also Bela, but quality is random. I got the bootleg stormtrooper transport set. All the stormtroopers had brown hands. Good thing I got a stash of extra black hands.
>>5431086
SY isn't the best. They don't even bother printing on the alternate faces.
They're fun but have potential quality issues. I got one of Spider-Man and one of Captain America. The white of Spidey's eyes were printed out of sync with the webs, while Cap had two of the same arm.
Also, I love that they included a gun for Spider-Man.
