Chengyi's second set is really good; I wasn't able to get their first set (Stranger Things) but I still saw them in AngeloMarcus Greenhills and they looked just as good as these if not better!
First previewed here.
Let's start with Rachel and Ross. They came with these accessories. Rachel has a shield piece that doubles as a tray while Ross comes with a newspaper.
Prints are great and so is the plastic for the base minifig.
I said that the plastic is great for the base minifig only because the hair piece of Rachel isn't as smooth as the other pieces in this set.
Chandler comes with a laptop that is using a different mold from Lego's while Monica has the same accessory as her Lego counterpart.
No issues here again.
I think this is my first acoustic guitar accessory and I am so happy about this. Phoebe gets the guitar while the pizza and the broom are for Joey and Gunther respectively. The Lego version has Joey come with a shoulder bag as well that Chengyi wasn't able to provide here.
Ultimately, good print and plastic quality again. Though I gotta say that Joey's face looks like it got shrunk. Another issue is that my Gunther minifig's face has a huge green smudge on it! This is an indicator of poor quality control, unfortunately.
CY1002 Grading:
Plastic Quality: 4.5/5
Only deduction is for Rachel's hair, but to be fair, it's not a common hair piece.
Print Quality: 4.5/5
Great prints minus the smudge, though I'm quite certain that for every bad fig like mine, there are a hundred good ones.
Build Quality: 5/5
Articulation and build process are all superb.
Design Choice: 3.5/5
Lower if you consider Lego clones as a bad thing. Add to that the smaller face on Joey's face which shouldn't have been an issue given that the other figs have decent faces.
Overall, a recommended buy for me if you're a Friends fan and can't afford the expensive IDEAS set. If you're not a Friends fan but are in need of some civilian minifigures, these are also great options!

After years of being ignored, Gunther finally gave into his rage and hulked out.
