What's with all the double codes? The 6### codes are for the boxed versions while the 8### codes are for the online-only (ish), bagged figs.


Both bigfigs came like this. The Infinity Gauntlet was bagged separately. I welcome the removable upper torso for customization options in the future but it also poses a problem which I'll show below.

 Let's start with these guys. Thanos comes with an Infinity Gauntlet for minifigs, but it doesn't have prints at all (hence no Infinity Stones) but the mold for them is still there. The bigger issue though is that it's too thin for the arm's holes; this means that it's too loose to even stay in the arm. A solution would probably be to make the Gauntlet's peg thicker by using tape or even nail polish(?).

These quantum suits are highly similar to XINH's designs which are also based on the Marvel Legends action figures. These are probably early concept designs of the quantum suits because the movie didn't end up with them. (XINH X0233 Avengers Quantum Realm Suits) See that torso compared to the other Quantum Realm suits here.

 No side prints.


 There's this weird smudge on Rocket's back.. Poor quality control.

I always love Falcon minifigs, and I think this design is one of the better ones. Quality-wise, ehhh. There are weird print marks on the wings that are more noticeable when you look closer.



 I wish they included even just a flat tile with prints at the back of his wings.


 PG8251 aka PG6013.

Apologies, I mixed up the Thanos bigfig here with PG8250!

 Hahahahahahahaha.

Again, the Thanos on the left is PG8250's Thanos while on the right is Lele's Thanos.

TLG's Thanos has arm prints too but POGO's doesn't.

 Remember me liking the removable shoulder armor/upper torso? Problem here is I had a difficult time putting it all the way down hence the gap.

 Best part about this bigfig though? Removable helmet! 

 And it uses a regular stud system unlike other POGO bigfigs.

 The Gauntlet included is also pretty decent. The gems have a clear mold which I really appreciate. (One of each of the 6 included.)

  Now for the movie-accurate Quantum Suits. 

 Rocket looks weird, as always. Though he does have short legs, teen legs to be exact, that has printing!


 POGO's Iron Man figs always look off, at least the helmets. Spider-Man looks good though; the spider-legs/arms are unnecessary.

I also prefer this shoulder-cannon setup of War Machine compared to the newer ones. (I'm not hating on the new ones though.)

War Machine and Iron Man got some bad make up, lol! If you're wondering why they're like this, POGO tried to print the Heads Up Display on these guys but as we can see, they failed.

 Now for PG8250 aka PG6012.

 Again, this is PG8251's Thanos.




Hawkeye uses POGO's iconic compound bow. Arrows are also included! (Ronin above also has this btw!)

Far From Home's Nick Fury?


So what do I think about these guys? Well, I'm happy about them. They're not great but they're definitely an improvement from the previous POGO superheroes. The prints here are much better. If they had just printed on better plastic quality, these figs would've been amazing. Hopefully though, POGO slowly, if not faster, improves on plastic quality and continue improving their print quality as well. I also hope they do more new characters but this time in quality like this or better. Oh and another thing they have to improve on is quality control because a number of their figs still have smudges and misprints that are more noticeable here than on other brands.

If you're an online-only guy, then AliExpress should have these. If you're a boxed-figs-only guy, then thankfully POGO now caters to you too. Grateful though that AngeloMarcus Greenhills tries to have both, much easier to have choices!

  1. You didn't mention that the ones that can be bought individually have printing on the sides.

  2. Why can't the official LEGO make the Thanos bigfigs like these two with the removable helmets?! Is it really that hard?

    These two Thanos bigfigs are probably the best POGO Thanos bigfigs out there now in terms of staying accurate to LEGO's design plus (the best part) the removable helmets. Way to go POGO!

    Great review DTB! :)

    1. Yeah, I'd be tempted to buy these Thanos bigfigs just for the removable helmets!
