POGO PG8206: Various Stan Lee Minifig Cameos and Outfits Review

First previewed here!

Missing one of them because AngeloMarcus' stock for is sold out really quickly! They recently restocked and I got my own but I decided not to include him in the post anymore cause quality was the same anyway.

PG1817 - Stan Lee (Hulk Cameo)
PG1818 - Stan Lee
PG1819 - Stan Lee
PG1820 - Stan Lee (Captain America: Winter Soldier)
PG1821 - Stan Lee (Captain America: First Avenger)
PG1822 - Stan Lee
PG1823 - Stan Lee (Iron Man 3)
PG1824 - Stan Lee (Spider-Man Homecoming TV Spot)


What happened to your pants, Stan!? Well there's the problem; the color of the legs should've been a different shade. I have no idea why POGO chose to use that color for the mold, but they did it before with Stan Lee's arms in their older fig.

Shame that the plastic nub is relatively huge on the back of those hair pieces..

What I noticed though is that the slick back hair pieces are somewhat loose. They have a small amount of grip on the heads, but they won't stay in place (they rotate while attached). A possible fix would be to put a tiny tiny amount of tape on the head to make it thicker and hence have the hair grip on tighter.


Two soldier hats and another slick back hair with the same loose hair problem. Thankfully the soldier and police hat are absolutely fine in terms of grip and the prints on them are simple but effective. The mold is also pretty well-defined. One issue is with the soldier Stan's leg; you can see that there's an error with the molding. It's not just a scratch, it's kinda deep. Battle scars?


More leg issues for Soldier Stan.


But I just used some small pluckers to scrape and pull some of the excess plastic mold.


No hair issues for the style on the left. Still has the loose hair issues on this one, but less prominent than the others.

Great amount of detail on the backs!

No alternate faces, but they all have relatively different faces in the first place!

So the overall quality was okay. It's not as good as XINH or SY figs, but it's definitely better than majority of POGO's new superhero figs. This release has been somewhat controversial given that POGO seems to be cashing in on the death of Stan Lee. I'm just glad that at least they made some pretty decent figs to commemorate him and not the crappy figs. Rest in peace, Stan. I hope we see some real deal minifigs of him in the future, so that we can truly have our superhero minifigs with him.

Don't forget that POGO also released the old Stan Lee minifig that I reviewed way back here. It wasn't great because it had wrong arms but it's the classic Stan Lee if you ask me.

Still waiting for an Iron Stan minifig.
