KOPF Toys KF6167 Stranger Things Mini Figures Review (Not Lego)


Kopf just released their latest Stranger Things mini figure set earlier this month and now they have found their way onto Aliexpress.  I chose to buy the figures individually instead of as a set because I have no need for the Demogorgon.  Also for the price of the mini figure, you also get a bicycle with each figure.  As an accessory, bicycles are priced about the same as mini figures on Aliexpress.  The entire set can be found if you search for KF6167 but if you are only looking for specific minifigures, you can search by their unique ids as well.


I ordered my figures from Aliexpress on August 3 and received them about 2 weeks later, so shipping speed was pretty good. Kopf KF6167 set is popping up all over Aliexpress, so selection is good right now, if you are a fan of Stranger Things.

Each figure is packaged in it's own cellophane bag, and you'll need to assemble the minifigure and bicycle yourself.  Every figure comes with one extra hand, a mini figure stand, and an accessory which you'll see when we look at the figures more closely.

If you bought the set in its entirety, you'd get the KF1763 Demogorgon figure but no extra bicycle.  Most of the characters in the set are based on Season 3 of Stranger Things.


KF1764 - Eleven wears a purple top and blue suspenders from Stranger Things season 3 and comes with a flashlight accessory.  All figures feature arm, leg printing as well as back printing.  I was hoping that the heads would have dual expressions, but that's not the case in this set.  She comes with a red bicycle.  


KF1765 - Dustin Henderson has the hat/hairpiece combo but the printing isn't great.  He's wearing a pink T-shirt under a blue jean vest that was featured in a promo for Stranger Things season 3.  Leg printing is good, but I don't like that the arms have gaps in the sleeves.  The walkie talkie is his accessory and he rides a green bicycle.


KF1766 - Will Byers wears a striped shirt from Stranger Things season 4 but the stripes don't go all the way around the arm.  Will gets pink bike and an axe for accessories.  His hair is accurate but should be a bit darker in colour.

KF1767 - Erica Sinclair is probably my favourite character in Stranger Things.  She wears blue overalls and a yellow T-shirt which I believe she wore in season 3 has a yellow bike and a slingshot.  Again, the sleeve printing is deficient.


KF1768 - Robin Buckley wears her Scoops Ahoy sailor outfit featured in Stranger Things season 3 but her hair style should be shorter and more ginger coloured.  She gets a white bike and flashlight as accessories.


KF1769 - Max Mayfield sports the purple sweatshirt and striped tee from Season 3.  Her accessories are a turquoise bicycle and walkie talkie.  Same issue with the sleeves as the other mini figures.

KF1770 - Mike Wheeler is wearing his Ghostbusters outfit from season 2.  He comes with a proton pack and particle thrower, and a blue bicycle.

Here's a look at the backs of the mini figures.

Jedi Survival Eating Chicken Game (!) Minifigures from Aliexpress

 

What's up and welcome back to bricksandfigs.blogspot.com!  This is the story of some random minifigures I found on Aliexpress back in May.  Once in awhile, these sort of listings pop up in my Aliexpress feed, so I figured ok why not?  With shipping, the mini figures worked out to about $0.60 CDN each or about 50 cents USD.

I think that the characters are from a game series called PUBG (Players Unknown Battleground) of which I know nothing about.  Aliexpress calls them the Jedi Survival Eating Chicken Game minifigures.  A further search on Aliexpress yielded zero hits and I couldn't find any other listing that featured these minifigures.  The brand is also unknown.


Not long after I placed my Aliexpress order, I got the dreaded Sorry, the page you requested can not be found:( message when I went to check on the listing.

However, tracking showed that the item had departed from China on June 12. Then no updates.  Finally after another month of waiting the minifigures finally arrived.  Whew!  Was starting to think that the listing was bogus and that these figures would never arrive.

Anyways, here they are.  Pretty basic figures, wrapped individually, but no figure baseplates that so commonly come with other minifigures.

There are a total of 8 minifigures in this set, consisting of 7 guys and one girl.  Three of the figures  helmets and faceguards, one has a cap and the other has hoodie.  One of the characters even has bullet wounds/blood stains on his shirt.

There's some interesting torso printed, like the Pineapple shirt guy or the Dragon shirt guy.  He's really unique because it's the first time I've seen a minifigure with a cigarette in his mouth.  All of the minifigures have some sort of leg printing, but there's no arm or back printing on the torsos.   Anyways they all have guns, really big guns.



So does anyone have more information about these characters?  Do the minifigures match the game characters?  Please let me know more about these mystery minifigures.   Thanks for looking!  Bye.

TopToy 16001 Retro Television Picture Review (Part Two)

Hi there and welcome back to Bricks and Figs.  I'm guessing you are here to see the pictures of the TopToy 16001 Retro Television.  In case you missed it, I did an unboxing and build post which you can check out here:  Part One.

Here's the finished product!

In my previous build post, I forgot to show the antenna that gets attached to the top of the TV.  I should mention one of the antenna doesn't clutch into the socket so I resorted to my tried and true method of tearing a small bit of the cellophane packaging from the parts bags and sticking it into the hole.

Here's some various views of the TV set.  Here's the hinged part of the TV.

Back side.   Cool right?


Brick quality is quite good, no scuffs or scratches and you can barely make out the colour differences.

I got lazy because I should have trimmed off the extra cellophane.

The legs actually look kind of clunky.  Should I replace them with small round knobs instead?



The inside of the TV has carded graphics on the three sides that depict a living room interior.  Not sure who the wedding couple is supposed to be, perhaps the girl dyed her hair?

Some more pictures on the back wall.  I wonder if the guy was in the Chinese army?

The couple must be animal lovers.

Here's what I didn't show you in my previous post, this is the completed living room which was constructed in Section 3.

Peace out!  Just trying out the new fingers.

All this furniture was part of Section 3. A storage unit with chrome statue and vase of flowers.

A retro TV, lol!  The screen is a printed part, no stickers in this set!

My guess is that this couple are avid readers.  Or maybe music lovers?  But sadly no record player anywhere.

I'm gonna say that this looks more like a futon than a sofa.

Who wants some fruit?

Was this all a show?  I suppose if you wanted to make your own little scenes inside the TV, you could do that too.  Replace this living room with a scene from Seinfeld or Friends or whatever you can think of.

Hope you enjoyed this look at the Top Toy Retro TV!   Get it from Aliexpress or whoever sells it!   Get it now!

My Rating


I'm gonna give this set 5 out of 5 stars!  Why? It was relatively cheap at under $20 for over 600 pieces.  They sent me the box!  Brick quality was decent and no problems with clutch (well, except for that antenna piece).  Despite being a small-ish set, you get two decent minifigures, with bonus hands.  The interior is nicely furnished and rich in details.  No stickers or scuff marks, even on the TV glass.   All in all, a nice and enjoyable build.   What's not to like?
