SY872 - Batman Movie - The Penguin Arctic Roller

SY872 - Batman Movie - The Penguin Arctic Roller set. Finally I got the TLBM Batman with the yellow utility belt and the Penguin - Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot (without many new accessories pieces)
The star of the show is finally here; with the Belt
I am not the Monopoly man
Anyway, bought this actually for the car. I find this set is the best among the rest of the TLBM set released. The Arctic roller looks like a vintage car, and it is really a solid build. Sleek and heavy.
The front portion of the car has a twin spring shooter that shoots two blue rod operated by that Knob on top of the car hood. Since it is so easy to access and activate, and the spring shooters works very well, hence I do not keep the rod inside, just in case someone accidentally shot their eyes while admiring those fabulous front spot lights.
Nice spot lights with twin spring shooter - High Flyer
Comes with the Penguin mini escape ski boat which can easily stored at the boot of the car at the back.

Remove those side fish missiles and the the car will look like a vintage car.
Let's drive by the river ....
... and wait for the sunset

Sembo Big MK36 Peace Maker

Tony Stark is at it again, making big armors in the name of peace, or in this sense, in the name of Peace Maker. Actually, believe this a MOC collector series from Sembo-SY, which also serve as a 2in1 set; where one can also make an Orange Dragon like mechanical beast.
Tony in Mk36 armor, but no helmet provided. Nice blue flask,
Big Peace Maker
Mainly stickers for the details
The ball joints are good, not loose, but do not know how long it will stay good after a few posses and play time. The design has the head lower than the shoulders, hence it looks close to Mk38 Igor which is also released under SY collector Ironman series. One can only choose to make the Dragon or Iron man Peacemaker
The Mechanical Dragon

SY856 - MOANA Ocean voyage - Big Fig MAUI

SY changed the name to MOAMR. They not just changed the name, but the figures as well. Both the mini doll and big fig included are different from the ori LG set. SY have 90 piece count more. MAUI's fish hook is one single piece (with patterns, although smaller), unlike LG which is build with brick pieces. So, those that want an exact duplicate of the ori LG sets will be disappointed. It is a fun set to build for those that have watched the movie and like to recreate the scene.

Prepare to set sail and take the heart back to Te Fiti
Moamr? Oar, pineapples, map
Voyaging canoe with iconic sail and opening deck
My kids says the face reminds her of Starbuck
The angry side of Te Fiti island
Shark and baddies Kakamora with catapult
Sebastian with pearl shell
Now what he's doing here?
SY seems to be giving some scene from the Little Mermaid and Tangled



LeLe 37006 - Tales as old as time

Well, the Beast is kinda puny as he is made with a mini doll body, why don't use a minifig body?
 Lele did invest in a new mold for the Beast head, maybe that's why they cut down the cost for the cape (so thin!). Belle looks a bit young, gown printing is not that good. This are from an 8 box minifigs set mix with the little mermaid.
Tales as old as time, but still  banned..

SY654 King of Glory 王者荣耀

King of Glory 王者荣耀, the current favorite mobile game for my kids. Although my kids keep saying they don't really look like the game's characters, but since mainly standard minifigs pieces are used, only the printing to highlight the characters features, hence it is just up to our imagination. The characters are based on famous historical characters from the Romance of 3 Kingdoms and Demi Gods. Have loaded the game' characters for comparison, well, what do you think?

Xiang Yu Sky Light
Zhu Ge Liang
Comes with a Red Bot like minions
Big Gunner Huang Zhong
Comes together with a monkey
Qítiān Dàshèng (齊天大聖) Sun Wu Kong (Monkey King)
Great Hair
Zhao Yun
Jing Ke
Sun Bing
Comes with a book, Red Eye Balls and a Pizza
Angela

SY provide together a minions (look like Nexo Bots) for 6 of the characters except for the Monkey King and Angela.
Enjoy this King of Glory rap , this guy is brilliant. Kudos.

Enlighten Romance 三國演義 1501

Nothing romantic about the Romance of 3 Kingdoms (Ro3K) 三國演義. It is a historical novel about Chinese history during the end of Han Dynasty, which depicts real legends (historical) but also dramatized it ; sort of mythical, since it is a novel. Anyway, due to the popularity of the mobile game King of Glory, my kids know very well the Ro3K legends, only that they are in Anime form in the game. Enlighten did a good job depicting the characters closer to their actual legendary features, but still base on a game Ro3K-IV Wall of fire. Most of the accessories pieces are customized and not found in original LG pieces. Details mainly on the front, no side or back print.
General Guan Yu 关羽- Iconic red face and Guan Tau (sword)
General Zhang Fei 张飞
Humane ruler, warloard Liu Bei 刘备
General Huang Zhong  黄忠
The temperamental Lü Bu 吕布
General and strategist Zhou Yu 周瑜
Archer soldier - wonder why he has a yellow face

Unable to purchase the remaining characters due to it was sold out. The 1501 release actually consist of A and B set, total 16 minifigs. The instruction sheet is one similar sheet for all the minifigs.

These came with a info cards and nice display stand. Here a picture from the net for 1501-A -B with display base and card from the net.
Below is 1501 B set
