Comparison of AOU minifigures - Decool Vs Sheng Yuan Vs Lego

Hi guys. I really miss all of you and this blog. I had attended a course organized by my office during the week and I had no chance at all to make a review on the new knock-off Lego set/minifigures. oh not to forget all the comments too.. there are still some that I have not responded.

As promised, even though it took me very long time to come up with this post, (sorry!!) the following is a comparison of Age of Ultron (AOU) minifigures issued by Decool, Sheng Yuan and Lego.

Decool has issued 12 17 AOU minifigure from set 0205-02100217-0222 and 0223-0228 while Sheng Yuan has issued 24 AOU minifigure from set SY271, SY275 and SY276.


[update] There are additional 5 AOU minifigure (not in the picture) from 0205-0210 that is reviewed after this post was made.

Here's the comparison of 12 figure from Decool with Sheng Yuan's and Lego.











I don't have the original Lego figure so i use pic from Bricklink for these 2:



[update@August 22nd, 2015]
Thanks to @RHM for reminding me to take a side picture of Maria Hill. I forgot that she had right arm with prints:




Both from SY and Decool have printed Shield logo on the arm, just like the original Lego. The position of logo on Decool figure is more accurate than SY but print quality is better in SY's figure.


That's all for today. I will review Lele's Jurrasic World minifigures (set of 8), Decool super heroes 0211-0216 (set of 6), and the tiny hulkbuster SY360A and SY360B in the next post. once again I'm sorry for the delay in updating this blog and have a good weekend :)

  2. Hi, i believe your Iron Man for Decool is Mark 45, while SY and Lego are Mark 43. Can you correct that? Thank you.

  4. Thank you MyLegoStore! I have the SY & Decool sets to compare, but I don't have the original Lego. I will just NEVER buy original Lego because of their very expensive price. And they don't have the minifigures sold individually! I have to buy sets. So no way! Haha! Thank you for this review. At least I still get to see how the good bootlegs are compared to the original.

    You are still missing the very first Decool AoU set though. The 0205-0210 set with Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow with short hair & curved torso, Iron Man Mark 43, and Winter Soldier (2nd version).

    1. Hi @JC. yeah, i just read your comment in my previous post mentioning about the missing 0205-0210. I hope It's still not too late to have it. Normally the resellers (nearby my house) will take some time to restock after a certain set already sold out :(

  6. Awesome post! Was waiting for this! Oh and can you also include the side arm printing as well for Maria Hill? Is Decool's side arm print good? I know SY's is great looking.

    1. i do not know what I was thinking when making the comparisons. they have side printing just like the original Lego? I totally forgot about it.

  7. Hi, I am from Kulim Kedah. It was really-really hard sometimes to find decool or sy here. Sometime when I found it, the price for 1 minifigs is around rm 5 until rm7. There is no shop that sell all one set in good price. Does any of decool or sy fan in malaysia know a good online shop from malaysia that sell bootleg brick for a really relly good price? :)

    1. Hi @anonymous, i'm so sorry to hear that :(. have you tried mudah? online seller normally charged fixed rm6 postage to semenanjung for 1set. i believe total cost for the whole set plus postage should be lower than rm5 per box

    2. Hi there people from the north.
      I hope I can help you out. My home town is in Taiping and I know of a place that do sell these minifigures at reasonable prices (Not as good as the prices in KL though). Maybe you can check it out one of the weekends.

  9. Hi! I'm a Lego lover and I enjoy collecting Lego Minifigures. But even here in the U.S Legos are expensive! For example, If I'm trying to buy the genuine Lego Kingdoms "King" minifigure it cost about $27.00 for just the minifigure! While on ebay I was able to find the Sheng Yuan Lego knights set for $6.50, And that doesn't come with just the king, but 6 different knights and horse too. That was my first Sheng Yuan purchase and I'm hoping it goes well, and is compatible with my other Legos. But I've never heard of Decool before? Are they better then Sheng Yuan? Are they more quality? Also, Wheres the best place to buy Sheng Yuan Legos? I haven't seem anywhere but online, And I can't find all there products online either. I live in North Carolina U.S.A and am wondering if there are any physical shops, or online shops that might have a bigger inventory of Sheng Yuan Legos? Sorry for taking up your time!

    1. Hi @Levi Johnson :). forgive me for taking so long to reply to your comment. I used to like Decool, but now i prefer SY more. BTW, there are quite a number of knock-off brands to date beside SY. other brands that I can remember now are Decool, Lele, Elephant, and Xinh. But i personally recommend you to stick to SY. Their quality is the best so far.

      At one time, Decool is the only brand that produce figures with two faces. (true story), but now SY (even Lele too) has issued figures with two faces. So Decool is no longer special like they used to be. Their quality is getting worse until the last few months the quality has improved.

    2. Alright, cool thanks! I searched around Aliexpress and found the Jurassic World Brinquedo LELE 79058. They look pretty good imo, Does Lele have good quality like SY?

  10. Hi, which brand do you think has the best resemblance to lego for the avengers set?
