I won't look into the builds anymore but here's a picture of one of the bricks.
They molded "bogo" on the studs. Quality wise, the bricks are decent enough but definitely not TLG level or not even Lepin level. The grips are good enough but quality just seems really better with other brands.
A useless trivia though, BOGO is sort of an insult in the Filipino language. In video games, "bobo" which means stupid is censored because it's a word used for bullying in such games and so players resort to using "bogo" to counter this censorship. Useless trivia, but I guess it reminds me of how PRCK is also a brand that has a bad name in other cultures, lol.
Moving on to the figs. This is actually just a set of 6 but most sellers here sell in groups of four or eight. As such there are two extras that I actually already sold.
These are the designs:
Some of them are "normal" such as the middle figs of both pictures. The others though are old designs in blue and red colors. Though if you don't think they're old designs, then at least they resemble them. This basically just means that these aren't really new.
No side prints.
Looking closer, the feet of the figs are curved.
They also all have the same back designs, just like the same front leg designs.
The anti-studs are also hexagonal. This wasn't an issue in terms of grip or anything like that.
The curved feet and hexagonal holes are actually not new and unique to this brand. The brand HJLepin also has these characteristics. I have no issue with this honestly, but if you want a unified system for your figs then these might bother you.
bogo 92131 Grading:
Plastic quality: 3.5/5
I think the plastic was generally decent but you could see some molding lines on some parts more visibly than other brands. Additionally, the different molds might be an issue for others.
Print quality: 3/5
Then same old designs fall under the design category but the prints themselves aren't so defined and vibrant too. The blacks seem weak and the blue [on the legs specifically] aren't the same as the blue of the plastic.
Build quality: 4.5/5
If you don't care about the bricks, then maybe a 5. I had no issues building these figs unlike other unknown brands that have weird clutch systems for their figs.
Design Choice: 1/5
You know why the designs are bad..
Are these worth it? I don't think so. Maybe hardcore Spider-Man fans might want some for their Spider-Verse collections or completionists like me might want them for the sake of having them. I do hope that brands like bogo decide to expand into new characters; an act like that will definitely boost the demand for their brand.
