Not Lego Pogo Spiderverse Minifigures Set PG8017 Review

 

Here's a new 8 mini figure set from Pogo.  It's set PG8017 featuring the Spiderverse allies and foes, which is a knockoff of the Lego super heroes minifigures.  These are actual pictures from my collection.

Hobgoblin has 2 different faces.  Unfortunately I could not remove his head from the cowl to show you his other face.  He comes with the extra pumpkin head.

PG074 Sandman (Flint Marko)

Sandman has two faces, this is the scowling face.

This is Sandman's angry face.

Keep on Trucking

Hey All, just wanted to do a little picture show today.  I have all these cool city and delivery vehicles which drive around Its-Not-Lego town to bring in supplies and keep the town clean.

This is the Enlighten brand Garbage Truck and Street Cleaner.  Model 1101.

Also by Enlighten, this nifty Ice Cream Truck. Model 1112.

An Express delivery truck by Enlighten.  Model 1119.

This tractor trailer is from Wange.  Model 40615.

This small delivery truck is from Kazi. Model 6093.

This super long truck and trailer is also by Wange.  Model 40616.

This utility truck is by Sluban.  It's from the Tower Crane set B0555.

And finally, the Lepin City Truck. Model 02036.

As you can see, I still have a few more reviews to do, so hopefully I will get to that soon.  Bye for now.

Fake Friends Minifigures Review

 I've bought a few bootleg Friends building sets in the past, primarily to use the bricks and accessories for my MOC sets.  Over time, I've acquired a few of the Friends minifigures from different bootleg brands such as Bela, Sheng Yuan (SY), and Lepin.  I prefer to use Lego style minifigs in my displays, so these ones all get tossed into a plastic bag.

 If you're wondering why they are all bald, it's because their hairpieces are actually compatible with the Lego minifigure heads.  The majority of the Friends style minifigs are female, but there are about two or three male minifigs.  In terms of uniqueness, almost all of them have their own outfit, I think there's only one or two that are duplicates.  Also the faces of the friends minifigures have some variations in facial features and eye colours too.

Here is a list of the sets where the Friends style minifigs come from:

• Bela 10169 Pet Hospital
• Bela 10162 Cafe
• Bela 10541 Emma's House
• Bela 10403 Recording Studio
• Lepin 01007 Hotdog Van
• Lepin 01011 Pizzeria
• SY Pop Star

 Stored away in the same bag, are the Sluban style of minifigures, also not compatible with the Lego style.  While most of them are male, there are a few female minifigs in the Sluban line-up as well.  I figured I might as well take pictures of them too, since I have them out.

A lot of the Sluban minifigures come from the construction series, that's why there' so many of them in overalls.  A lot of them came with red hardhats, and fortunately, they will fit on a Lego style minifigure head.  The hairpieces aren't that great but they do kind of fit also.  That's why these ones are bald too.  If you look closely, they do have some unique looking faces.

Here's a list of the Sluban sets where these minifigs come from:

• M38-B0516 (City series) Girl at Mailbox
• M38-B0565 (City series) Hotdog Cart
• M38-B0563 (City series) Courier
• M38-B0523 (City Series) Camper
• M38-B0551 (Construction series) Excavator
• M38-B0539 (Construction series) Steam Roller
• M38-B0555 (Construction series) Tower Crane
• M38-B0552 (Construction series) Dump Truck
• M38-B0550 (Construction series) Cement Mixer

So do you collect Friends style minifigures and do you ever mix the alternate brands with the Lego stlye minifigures?
