Pogo PG8025 Big Bang Theory Minifigures Review


I'm not really a fan of the Big Bang Theory, but I am a fan of these minifigures.  This is the 7 character set from Pogo and the set number is PG8025.  They cost me about $1 CDN each, so that's like 75 cents USD.   I ordered these way back in November but just got them now.

There's also another Big Bang minifigure set that has all of the same characters above but you get one extra Sheldon who is in a green lantern shirt.  That set is put out by the Xinh brand (see pic below).

All of the characters have the two sided heads, you can compare the minifigs  faces in the first and second pictures.   The quality of the minifigs is good except for Raj's face that has a white streak right in the middle.  That's not a light reflection, see second picture.



Not featured in my pictures are the accessories you get with most of the minifigures.  Penny has a goblet as pictured.  Raj has a briefcase.  Howard has a rocket ship.  Sheldon has a green lantern. Leonard has a doll of some sort.  Amy has a newspaper, which surprisingly says The Lego News.

These minifigures will be nice additions as regular folks in my It's Not Lego town.

You can sort each of the table columns.

Pogo PG-647 Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi Minifigure Review

Normally Pogo makes a pretty good bootleg of a Star Wars Lego minifigure.  But this PG-647 Obi Wan Kenobi minifigure is terrible.  Well from the torso up he's ok, but look at the colour difference of the robe he's wearing.  It doesn't even match.  His face and hairpiece is ok but his lower half, is Argh, I can't stand it.

Here is Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi from the back. He's got a lot of excess plastic on the back of his hair.

This Ben Kenobi copy is from the Lego Mos Eisley Cantina 75052 set.

Obi Wan comes from the larger Pogo Star Wars minifigure set PG8021.
