First previewed here!
It was difficult to make them fit..
They have a lot of unnecessary accessories, and I'll be showing what I think were essential!
I'll start by saying that quality of print and plastic are great, as expected from SY. This review is gonna focus on how they look mostly, because as said, quality is great!
I'll start with the bigfigs. Thanos actually uses SY's and DLP's old Thanos mold except they changed the color of the helmet and the arms.
Helmet is removable.
Now for the Black Order members. No Cull Obsidian? He's coming as a separate, single-sale fig or from the Sanctum Showdown set.
They all look great. Also, Proxima's Midnight hairpiece is wrong. So far, only XINH is the bootleg brand that has the correct hairpiece for Proxima.
They come with these weapons. Ebony Maw's blast pieces, I think, were just added for the sake of giving him some accessories.
Good amount of detail at the back too.
They also come with their respective alternate faces.
Here's a comparison though of this SY Ebony Maw (beside the SY logo) and the XINH Ebony Maw. Differences are in the form of different shades of the prints, sizes of the design elements, etc. and it's really up to preference because both are great quality.
On the left is this SY Proxima Midnight while on the right is Kopf's. Both have the wrong hair pieces and again, the differences are in some shadings and in sizes of design elements.
SY on the left and POGO on the right. Same differences, in the form of shades of the print and sizes of the prints. I think SY's is more accurate to TLG's though, but I think I personally prefer POGO's head.
Now for Black Panther, Shuri, and an Outrider.
I am honestly digginf the Black Panther fig, except his cat ears aren't cat ears and are actually Darth Maul's horns [mold]. Such a disappointment that SY never bothered to invest in cat ears anymore. Shuri also has the wrong hair mold.
Black Panther came with these gauntlets/fists, because why not. Shuri came with these arm cannon things, similar to what TLG gave their original Shuri minifig.
Black Panther also came with these shurikens and while Black Panther doesn't use these, I found them very interesting.
A close look at Black Panther's horns.. Disappointing.
Back view.
Shuri's face honestly looks a bit large... I would've preferred other face prints.
Which do you prefer? Well, on the right is XINH's Black Panther which is a clone of TLG's while SY's Black Panther is a modified Black Panther. I think I would've preferred SY's Black Panther, but the cat ears were such disappointments; being brick figs though, you can always change it!
SY, in the past, made some very very interesting and rare bigfigs, but they can't even make cat ears!?
Now for Shuri. On the right is XINH's Shuri which has a more accurate hairpiece, but XINH's didn't come with the arm cannons and came with a spear instead. You can always just mix and match them, at least.
For the Outriders. On the right is XINH and on the left is SY. This fig is just ripe for army building, and making your army consistent by using just one brand can mean a lot especially to people who might be perfectionists when it comes to these.
Now for Thor, Star-Lord, and Gamora.
I honestly expected SY to at least include Star-Lord's helmet, but they didn't and that's quite disappointing. They also changed his pants to maroon/red instead of the original black, but honestly they should've changed it to brown/brown-ish to better mimic the one from the movie.
These are the accessories they came with. Gamora has roller skates which is very weird.. I think they should've given her rocket boots instead... *wink wink*
They all get alternate faces a good amount of back print.
Now for some of Earth's homegrown mightiest heroes! I have a personal bias towards Falcon; I don't know why I love his character so much and this Falcon is perhaps one of my favorites. It's not accurate to the movie in terms of the wings, because the wings should be brick built, but the torso printing is great in my opinion and is much better than Civil War Falcon's light colored torso. (XINH and Kopf previewed their own Falcon with brick built wings though.)
These are the accessories they came with.
Also, here's a look at Spider-Man's side, because the others don't really have side prints except for Spider-Man.
These three all came with backpack accessories. Cap came with a backpack for shield and it's not accurate of course because Cap doesn't have his shield in the movie.
View of the back. They all have back faces and prints and they're all greatly detailed. Falcon's goggle-less face looks a bit off..
Now for Iron Man and Strange. Both are great and it's weird that SY even released the crappier versions of Infinity War minifigs if they can actually make these ones.. lol
The blast/effect pieces were also great and came like this! Again, great job SY, but weird that they can do this but not cat ears...
Iron Man's eyes aren't that aligned and Strange's Eye of Agamotto isn't glowing.
Better look at their faces.
Strange's cloak comes in two pieces and I honestly prefer it this way since it's not too thick to the neck.
SY on the left and XINH on the right. The time stone [on Strange's chest] is glowing green on XINH's fig but not on SY's. The hairpieces are also different.
On the right is Lele's and I personally prefer SY's but Lele's came with the right backpack pieces and blast pieces for it.
Quality wise, these SY figs are great. I just hope that SY uses their great quality to make some more interesting minifigs.
I got the set from AngeloMarcus Greenhills by the way, and they weren't boxed, if that matters. (I actually prefer them without boxes since they're easier to carry and less waste.)
