Please give us review on actual LEGO vs bootleg minifigs, if you have the LEGO ones for comparison.
This is what i can share so far..
1st pic: this is all 100% Lego sets and minifigs.(polybag at-dp) (2013 wookie gunship)
3rd pic: on the left is a bootleg wookie (dont know the brand) i bought loose(RM4) wayback b4 i bought the used wookie gunship for RM140..original price (first release in malaysia around 2013)a bit less than RM400. On the right is the Lego wookie. Both look almost the same at a glimpse. On closer look.. The printing on the bootleg look funny on the face.. No print on the leg. And a huge hole on topside of the wookie's crossbow. The Lego wookie had a flat color(not shiny) print which give the realistic effect.
4th pic: nice rank print on the Lego wookie's arm.. No print on the bootleg.. The back side look somewhere similar for both.
5th & 6th pics: almost a standard for lego minifigs to have a double sided face as u all know.. Lepin is following this standard in most of their minifigs too. I also found just a few of SY minifig that has double face i.e. Blackwidow and Scarlet (avengers).
7th & 8th pic: dont know bout this brand(i shall call it 'Lid').cant find it online either. Looks to me kinda a bootleg from a bootleg(Lele) hahaha. The graphic of the stormtrooper kinda decent looking.. But..
9th to 11th pics: the left is the stormtrooper(st) from the Lid.. The right is the Lego® st... No laa..Just kidding..hehehe.. The right is from my Lepin Imperial Shuttle UCS set. (Not gonna spend RM80 to 140 just for the ori Lego st minifig only..can buy me a good Lepin sets for that kind of money)
U can see from afar how diff it looks especially on the helmet. But notice that the Lid st torso and leg is printed base on the 2017 Lego st and the Lepin st is base on original Lego st from way wayback.. And still the torso print on Lid st is a bit diff from the Lego st itself. The head part.. Both are true to their respective design to Lego st.
12th to 14th pics: just for added info: I really..really love the quality on everything for this Boba Fett minifig by Pogo. The
print is as good as Lego. Saw a few of star wars minifigs by Pogo that is in excelent quality.. That eventually came to.. ordering 30 Pogo stormtroopers at RM4/minifig straightaway 2 days ago lolz...
Overall: eventhough some of the bootleg minifigs has a minor print/design error, i can see that they(bootleggers) are picking up competing with each other..going for 99.9% lego look. This is a bonus to us who does'nt want to spend most of our hard earned money for collecting ori Lego. And so far.. By my experience.. Pogo and Lepin has the best minifigs that is true to Lego look.. Only the downside is..it is hard to find Lepin minifigs without buying a set.
Hope this review help/entertain u.. Happy playing guys😁
