Lots will argue that getting the whole set is pointless as they're mostly variants and I can't argue against that. But I did want to share with you guys these variants at least and it's difficult to get them individually anyway.
Each of the figs also come with those round plates. (Not a fan since they can't attach to plates.)
This is a MK 6 War Machine, right? I'll have to update our Iron Man minifig guide since I thought this was a MK 4. On the rightmost is supposed to be Pepper's Rescue Armor. Sheng Yuan probably made their own design after hearing/seeing rumors about Rescue appearing in Endgame.
Side prints!
Weird face for Pepper..
I'm choosing not to put the coat on Fury anymore. I think it's safe to say that I don't like coats anymore because they always get stuck or limit the articulation of the figs. Plus, sometimes they look weird because of the color; like for Fury here who has a dark blue torso and dark blue arms while having ablack coat. Black Widow also has a somewhat off-looking face. On the rightmost is Harley Keener, that kid from Iron Man 3. Honestly, this guy might as well just be any random guy..
He comes with this laptop accessory that opens and closes. I like the function but the plastic used felt cheap and doesn't look polished.
Widow also has her batons, this was a late picture lol.
I think side prints are essential for Black Widow because of her bracelet accessory, and it's good to know Sheng Yuan did them.
I translated the text on Harley Keener's box and this was what was written: "Harry (second generation Iron Man). Bold of Sheng Yuan to assume MCU's future. 😅
The blast pieces included with Capt. Marvel were still on a runner but were easily detached. I also have no idea why everyone, including TLG, still gives Ant-Man a gun.. Oh well, more accessories for us at least.
No visor mold for Ant-Man, as usual. As of now, only XINH can do proper Ant-Man helmets.
Why does Spidey have a shield.. and it only looks like a Spider-Man themed shield because of the colors; that design isn't really Spider-Man. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Ronin comes with two swords even though he only had one in the movie. Thor comes with a Stormbreaker that is actually built differently from TLG's design, but it's not that big of a deal.
Boring Spider-Man. At least Ronin is different from the usual MCU Ronin we see and even Thor has a different colored torso. Though Ronin has blonde hair here which might be an issue to others.
I just want to emphasize how good print quality and plastic quality are on these figs. I had to pause while taking pictures just to appreciate the quality.
No idea why Nebula has crossbows but I love the designs.
And yes, Rocket Raccoon grew taller after 5 years. (Just kidding.) It's weird because Sheng Yuan was even the first brand to introduce teen legs, one stud height legs that can swivel, even before TLG.
The two bigfigs. This was the first Endgame Hulk previewed, but now there are other brands that have the same variant. Thanos on the other hand is just another Thanos.
Removable heads.
Weird Thanos face..
Duck legs for Thanos and for Hulk, the shade of green on his feet is not the same as the shade of his hands and face.
Now for the Infinity Gauntlet. Some of the 16 came with 1-2 sets of the Infinity Stones.
Why are the colors like that? It's because they're designed and advertised to glow in the dark. (More on this below.) Though the colors do look highly different from the original stones.
Before anything, I'm not an expert on how glow in the dark materials work. I've had enough toys to know though that some of them, after some time, loses their ability to glow in the dark. As such, that might be a factor as to why not all of these stones glow.
You can see some of them glow.
To be fair, they're more visible in person; cameras do have limitations compared to the human eyes.
SY1311 Grading
Plastic Quality: 5/5
No issues here. Maybe Harley's laptop accessory was bad, but it's not an essential piece.
Print Quality: 5/5
I don't think I had any print issues. Some faces looked off but that's more of a design issue.
Build Quality: 4/5
No issues with articulation, etc. The accessories were interesting too. But those round plates could've been something else instead. If you like them though, then you shouldn't have any issues.
Design Choice: 2/5
Just variants. The two points here are from Harley and Rescue, and that's being generous considering those two are inaccurate as well.
I'm also still working on the lighting setup I have for my pictures. Camera settings too, I only have my phone and will try to invest in a real camera soon to have better pictures for you guys!
