Sheng Yuan SY674: Some Spider-Verse Minifigs with Venompool and Captain Hydra Review

First previewed here!


Forgot to get the SY Infinity War Iron Spider from AngeloMarcus Greenhills, sadly. I'll try to get it next time!


They came with these accessories all in all. Crossbow and the guns are interesting. Those shuriken-ish stuff are one-piece. That transparent black thing is also new to me.



These were the baseplates they came with, different from one of their previous sets that came with Sembo Falcon Commandoes baseplates instead.


Let's start with Venompool and Captain Hydra. First of all, Venompool's eyes are a mess.. Disappointing. It also sucks that the black sleeves are just slapped on versus how they look like in the preview picture. Captain Hydra on the other hand is alright, except for some reason there's no Hydra logo compared to DLP's [amazing] Captain Hydra.


Stars? Wtf are those on Cap's belt..


From the side the black sleeves look alright on Venompool.
Do note that POGO also released a Venompool that's almost identical.


Back view. Oh and yes, Venompool didn't come with swords versus POGO's that did. I think SY thought Venompool was more Venom/Spider-Man than Deadpool.


Now for ANAD Spider-Man or Spider-Armor MK 4. Can you tell which one is SY's?
Well, left is SY while on the right is DLP's. The one on the right came from DLP9044.
In terms of plastic quality, both are great, but when it comes to print quality and details, DLP wins. Just look at how there are white lines and spots on SY's.. The eyes, one side of the torso, the hip have white lines and spots that the DLP didn't. DLP certainly looks better, but hopefully these SY issues are isolated.


DLP also has back leg prints AND better back face print.


Although I think I prefer SY's arms. DLP's red on the arms seem wider than the ones on SY.


Now for Cyborg Spider that we also saw [on the right] from DLP9033.
You see some minor differences in design like DLP having bigger eyes and seemingly dual molded legs. Again, in terms of plastic quality, and even print quality, both are good! It's just a matter of preferences in design.


The grey on DLP's is lighter too.


Somewhat similar difference with the ANAD Spider-Man.


Back leg prints for DLP too.


Now for Armored Spider-Man aka Spider-Armor Mk 1. The one on the left is from DLP9026. With these two, compared to the others, I barely noticed any differences.. Again, both are good figs in terms of plastic and print quality. Even in design, they're much more almost identical [compared to the other pairs in this review] but you do see some very very minor differences in the forms of gaps, shades, etc.


Both even try to replicate that shine effect on the arms.


My DLP Spider-Armor Mk 1 has some scratch on the spider logo at the back but SY's didn't.


Now for Spider-Man India. On the left is SY and on the right is DLP from DLP9033. First of all, Spider-Man India's legs, based on the comic, are really white because he wears pants. With that in mind, we all now know that SY is wrong with the legs. The other big difference is how the lines on SY's Spider-Man India have thicker, more golden lines. In terms of quality, both are good as well though.


This is what I hate with legs that don't wear pants in minifig form.. So no side print!? SY's Spider-Man India now looks absolutely ridiculous!!


Not even back leg printing.. I think this one's the worst in the set, not counting Venompool's bad eyes.
Again, SY Spider-Man India looks ridiculous.


Now for Secret Wars Spider-Man. On the left again is SY and on the right is DLP from DLP9033. Same as Spider-Armor Mk 1, the differences are the eyes, some difference in shades, and the legs' printing. Both are good quality like the others, but I personally prefer DLP's. The eyes alone of the DLP fig make me prefer it more.


Side print. Some differences in gap sizes.


View of the back. Yes, DLP has back leg printings again.
(Sorry about his dustiness, he's been on display for a while now.. Haha)

Overall an okay bootlego set, but a horrible SY set. I really expected more from Sheng Yuan. It sucks because we know they can do better. One of their other newer sets was pretty good and so seeing this is really disappointing. BUT it could be that I'm just thinking that way because DLP also already released some pretty amazing figs.

Still, some of these guys are now rare and hard to find, so these figs could be alternatives for you guys looking for them!
