So they're all pretty much identical other than the colors, and with that, it also means that they all have the same bad points like the good points. (Except for quality control issues which can be isolated, but is also still more common with these bootleg products. The chrome-ness of the figs are great and I love it. I think the bigger problem is with the plastic mold's quality which we'll see more in a while.
Also, note how pink spaceman has prints that are smudged/scratched.. I think chrome minifigs are more prone to things like this. Even the red one has some small scratches on the print.


So of course they have helmets. There are transparent visors that can move up and down as you'd expect. The fit is great and not too tight unlike other chrome figs, maybe because the heads aren't chrome.


This trio has less quality control issues. Same comments as a while ago though.


The insides of the hands and the top of the legs (or under the torso part of the legs) are also non-chrome. So the figs were probably painted chrome while they were already built and not per part. This makes sense since they came in their bags already built except for the helmet.


Same comments again. Fig on the right has smudges on the torso print again..


If you look closely at the helmet, you'll see the mold lines. I don't know what to call those lines, but it's common in bootlego and it makes these chrome figs look not too good which is a shame. If the chrome was consistent and not dividded by some line, this set would've been much better.


Oh and no back prints! Lol

Biggest con though: no oxygen packs

To be fair, they look great. The lines on the helmet and some quality control issues were a bit disappointing, but still generally good figs. I think putting these on display somewhere is a good idea!

It seems very unlikely that they won't release the normal colored ones, but bootleggers have always been weird about their releases so we'll just have to wait and see. I'm just glad AngeloMarcus Greenhills released these soooo early!
