KL Brand KL068-KL073: Hunger Games, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, and X-Files Minifigs Review

An unexpected but welcome set from KL! Previewed here originally.


From left to right:
KL068 - Mulder from X-Files
KL069 - Scully from X-Files
KL070 - Lara Croft from Tomb Raider
KL071 - Nathan Drake from Uncharted
KL072 - Katniss from Hunger Games
KL073 - Peeta from Hunger Games


I'm no X-Files fan, but I am a fan of these minifigs. I can see people buying these two even for just generic FBI agents. The print quality is nice, both for the face and the torso, at least for me. The plastic quality is also alright!


Scully has minimal side arm printing, and I think it makes the fig look even better.


Back view. There's some sort of smudging on Scully's back. I don't know what it is, but I also haven't tried removing it yet. Probably something that happened in the factory.


No alternate faces.


They also come with these well printed tiles! They look better in person.


Now for Lara Croft and Nathan Drake. They come from different games, Lara from Tomb Raider and Nathan from Uncharted.


These are their accessories.


These two minifigs are amazing. Just look at the details! Credits to the original designers of course. The legs, especially on Lara look a bit inconsistent, but it's nothing too major.



The arm prints look great, it's just a shame that the prints didn't go all the way. We rarely see that though, but at least here it looks better versus other figs with side prints especially those with printed-on sleeves.


Back view.


Great details on the back too. It's a shame we don't have alternate faces, but again, at least the back print is also great!


Now for Katniss and Peeta. I'm NOT a fan of Hunger Games. I actually kinda hate it, the OG, or at least even a bit more OG, battle royale movie is Battle Royale, the Japanese film.
But anyway, Katniss comes with a bow, and that's it for them both.


I don't really know where this look came from, which movie it did, but I like them. I feel like I can use them for MOCs some time. Katniss for Mockingbird? Hmmmm.
Print and plastic quality are good. The black+grey design makes it a bit dull, but again that's up to preference already. The worse part for me is the face design. They just seem off, especially compared to the first 4 in this review.


Better look at the off faces.


Side prints. Shoulder pad for Katniss and shoulder pocket for Peeta.


Back view.


No alternate faces. Katniss does have a printed quiver and Peeta has a printed bag. Real molds would've been nicer.

TL;DR - These guys look great. The Hunger Games figs are my least favorite, but they're still decent enough. I think these guys are must-haves especially if you're a fan of their shows/games.

Not even surprised anymore that AngeloMarcus Greenhills already had them. (Got them some days ago, before this post.) The store didn't have Kill Bill yet though, but that's probably their supplier's fault already! Also, if you're not from the Philippines but wish to visit them, feel free to comment or PM for directions and tips!
