SuperHero Vehicle - CapA (with Stealth Shield), Doom Sub, Wolvie, Superman and others

Sheng Yuen is coming out more SuperHero + vehicle set. The latest I bought is the new mini car set for CapA, bigger and better looking car (SY207B), and it comes with the blue -silver stealth shield. Another set is of Black Widow SY207A, look like a space station. As usual, the fitting is loose. The remaining Iron Man and Doom's sub got them a week later.
The latest SY207 A - D sets - Funny vehicle
Bigger and better looking car.from earlier release (actual set Cap A picture below)
The Cap A from this set holding the Stealth shield
Black Widow with base is not from this set. (I did not assemble her)
Got the remaining SY207C & D Iron Man and Doom's sub a week later. Sheng Yuen's vehicle's series is getting better, even the mini figures is different from earlier releases
Iron man suit may be the same (look better), but Tony Stark's face looks different
This Doom is different (and looks better) than the one in the earlier Fantastic 4 set
The brothers of Doom (new Doom (right) looks better)
Brake !Woah What is a Sub doing in the middle here
Also bought some older sets of Wolvie's SY184A and Sup's (Superman) SY184D car. Basically the old cars looks almost identical. I do not really like Sups car having the stars in front (which actually is the same Stars of the old CapA's car), SY should put that SUPER S logo, that's the trademark of Superman. Maybe initial releases SY is trying to cost down.
Wolvie's claws is on the car
Got the Hulk jeep SY189D a week later. Kinda like this Hulk vehicle.
Two mighty force on the verge of collision! (Gun on Hulk's Jeep is not included)
Look OUT son! ....SHIT! You hit Superman!

Decool HERO - Furno Bike 9368

Big box set over of the Decool HERO series. The most expensive HERO series set bought todate. The box is big. The bike's tires is as big as a Donut. My son eagerly want to build it. HEROs set is one of those set that gets his interest.
(For those that have the money, the original Lego version has a better wind shield)
Hero to he Core

At the same time, bought my little boy this Toy LED gun, he love it so much more than Lego. For a toddler, the price of the toy is not the deciding factor.
Pieu-Pieu - Fire Fire...Piku Piku Piku

Sheng Yuan SWAT - SY260 The Expendables

SY SWAT release is good, but now they release another 8 box set based on a movie characters from the Expendables (SY260). Some of the minifigs can easily be identified as they do look like those famous actors in the movie. (Stallone's mouth - haha), but some need some guessing.
After looking in the internet for the actual characters inside the movie, I think SY actually based this set on the Expendable 3 movie. I arranged the figures based on the picture below. (actually, Snipes can be Crews)

I exchanged Stallone's arm with Mel Gibson.
Each of the characters come with a set of replica weapons of the original, I did not display all the weapons here. Well, there's still many more characters from the Expendables that SY can based on. So, hopefully SY's Expendables will be Expandable.

Iron Man Suit-up Gantry SY304 and The Simpsons

Been quite awhile I want to get this set. Finally arrive at my area. The price is a bit high (due to RM currency drop?) as I find the box is not really that big even though it contains 242+pcs (mainly small pieces), but, this is one of the few popular sets which came out from Sheng Yuen.
My son's comment - Nice to play, but a bit loose and easy to fall. (that's SY)
(Got one incomplete fill piece again! Hence a small portion cannot be fitted. Already encounter this defect thrice - someone is doing this intentionally?)
Let's suit UP
Hulk!. Get down from there! That's not a trampoline

The Simpson, one of my favorite sit-com cartoon. Bought the SY Simpson's 8 box set SY256. Good thing I did not rush to buy JLB's Simpson set which was released much earlier (not Justified lah). The figures is quite simple. especially for some short characters where the leg design is actually different. The printing is also simple (some of them is just plain), hence JLB should not go wrong with this. As usual, SY came with more decorative side bricks than JLB, and these Simpsons side bricks really suits the characters. Can't imagine a gun can actually be used as a mailbox lever.
SY do not have dual side printing for the head, but somehow they did print Homer's back hair BUT, they did not print the back torso (even JLB print it). SY seems to lost a lot of details in this set.
Like Maggie's tiny Flounder and Lisa's "Chipmunk"

Super Heroes with Vehicle, SY GOTG

Bought some previous SY super heroes and vehicle pack and the remaining GOTG characters (Groot and Nova Corp officer) from Sheng Yuen SY257 set that Decool did not have. The Nova Corp oficer Rhomann Dey is equip with a gun that actually can fire a tiny distance.
The vehicle belong to Spidey SY184B and Iron Man SY189B set. Disapointed with Iron man's car, although the color scheme match Iron man, but there's suppose to be the word IRON MAN at the back of the car's fin. Come on SY!
Rhomann Dey, "I am Groot" , Sakaaran
Previous purchase of  Decool GOTG here
Just for the fun of it
NO ! Not my car!
Also the SY Castle series SY253 (the dark side) , which the minifigs are actually very similar to LeLe's previous released, only the side bricks are different Only got 5 out of the 8 pcs set.
Nice Horse
I got the SY184C batman vehicle set 3 days later. Looks like the street peddler I frequent is running out of bootlegos to buy. Somehow I kinda find the batman mini build vehicle series looks better, only that I really got a lot of Batman.

Scuba Diver Batman, SWAT and Olverine

These few weeks have been raining (and sadly - flooding in some places), hence the street peddler I frequent either was not open or packed up early. Anyway, today is the first purchase of bootlego for 2015.
Got the Sheng Yuen batman + vehicle sets again. The Scuba diver batman (SY203C) is unique, although facing some problem fixing his legs (due to some molding error), but able to resolve with a few trims using a pen knife - well, that's life with Bootlegos. The RC penguin with dynamite is cool. You can build more if you have similar pieces. At first I thought SY is making a funny vehicle for batman, but got to know that this is actually copied from an ori Lego set which contain the villain Penguin  minifig
SY203C - Love that Penguin
Another set is from previous release  - Batman Tumbler SY201A. Facing one piece missing.(what happened today!! I don't really get so many problem with SY). Good thing I got spares to fix it. Initially I thought a tumbler is like Tupperware.
SY201A - Cool Batarang and cooler mini Bat Tumbler
At the same time got the Sheng Yuen (SY) SWAT 2nd wave (SY168)- 4 pc set - another good set with lots of weapons, (but the first wave is better). Also purchased one SY GOTG Sakaaran character SY257 (most of them already got from Decool set - the SY Rocket lack de-TAIL) and the JLB "Olverine" 3D3918- Old Wolverine as my kid call him. I presume JLB think his hair is a helmet. Not that this JLB set is good, just for the fun of it (JLB - Justified Lame Buy)
The Cowboy hat guy look more like a bandit than SWAT with the gold bars
Teenage gold Wolvie (I use a different face head) , Hard core Wolvie, Old age Wolvie
