Haven't received a box set like this in sooooo long. It felt nice having a box to look at [even though I will just throw it away/recycle it].
The box looks almost identical to Lego's so you'll know it's really a knockoff of Lego's Black Widow 2020 set.
This is the back of the box.
For the set review, I won't focus much on the design since this is Lego's design and there are already countless reviews out there about this Lego set. So, we'll focus on reviewing Ming Ge/Ming Grid/MG's quality.
I gotta say, I'm glad Ming Ge exists. There's no more Lepin and Sheng Yuan doesn't make sets like this anymore. Usually, Lele and BELA would also make these sets but quality had a lot to be desired for. Ming Ge is close to Sheng Yuan or Lepin quality which is great, and not just with the bricks themselves but with the minifigures as well.
Although, like most Knockoff Lego brands, some parts came with lots of scratches right out of the box.
But, in terms of grip and fit, these bricks had no issues whatsoever. Even the stickers were good in terms of quality.
This, in my opinion, is the worst part of the build. The back door is too small for minifigures and it doesn't also close completely.
The helicopter is small, too small that you have to place your minifigures a certain way inside so they can fit.
The helicopter can be piloted by up to one minifigure. The figure fits well even if the cockpit is a bit small.
Hi, Black Widow.
These are also the bikes that came for the minifigures. Pretty standard and no complaints.
These are the minifigures. So far, there are no other knockoffs of these Lego Marvel Black Widow minifigures. There are variants of Taskmaster and Black Widow (based on Black Widow 2021) from KORUIT and XINH though.
Quality of the minifigures is great! Which isn't a surprise because most, if not all, Ming Ge minifigures I've seen are decent in terms of quality. They're comparable to XINH, but maybe even slightly better in terms of print quality.
Yelena's face on the front and back look a bit off to me though.
This is a comparison of Ming Ge's Taskmaster with Lego's Taskmaster. Lego's plastic quality is still superior but the prints on Ming Ge's minifigure might be preferred by others.
The orange parts on the Ming Ge minifigure are much more visible than on Lego's.
I can't believe there was a time that I thought Ming Ge and POGO were the same brand, but I think I was wrong because of how good Ming Ge quality is. Unfortunately, they are not so prominent outside China.
But honestly, if you have enough money, the original Lego Black Widow's Helicopter Chase might be a better buy since it's at peak supply. It's just that Lego in many countries, especially third world countries are much more expensive so when Chinese brands are exported into them, they're more enticing.
If you ever spot this set for a good price though, I don't think you'll regret your buying it.
