Short Lord Garmadon

These are from DLP
Garmadon is a biker before he has 4 arms
The cape-cloth is a bit too long for 2 arms Garmadon
Like father like son
They make Llyof with the new baby face


SY670 Disney Marvel Mash-Up

This is how it looks when D-Studio decided to use their own characters to remake popular Marvel movies
Duckpool (SDCC minifig, almost)
THOR Quak-Na-Rock
Mouserine X - Scruffy
"Who are you calling Clown face" (Captain M - Civil War)
Spider-duck beachcoming
Bat-Rat (DC cross-over)
The minifigs legs are those movable shorter types. The capes "single hole" design in this set are not that good. Basically a fun set from SY. The duck characters designs are okay (beak printing has some flaw), but the mouse ones (especially MicHulk, it is horrible) and not to expectation for something from SY. Is SY clearing off their old torsos?

DLP 515 - Vulture Stark

"Good or bad is a matter of perspective....."
You steal my helmet, I steal your suit
Ironman Mk47 from Spiderman Homecoming with Tony Stark inside.
Iron Man Mk47 (The Good Guy?)
DLP 515A - Slight different big Iron Mech suit from previous DLP release
I remember the vulture is just an old man in a green bird suit, but the Spiderman Homecoming vulture is really different and menacing.
You stole my job. (Adrian Toomes - The villain?)
The Vulture
DLP 515B - The Vulture Exo Suit wings are Big
Combining both Stark and Toones technology....(this is what DLP meant it to be). Kinda hard to mount-fit the wing to the back of Iron Mech as the wings are kinda blocked by them arms. Somehow the wing cannot be expanded-open fully due to some design limitation from DLP
Good or bad is a matter of perspective.
“... there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” ― Michael Scott, The Necromancer

Decool Heroes

Captain Marvel from Decool.
0248 Captain Marvel with mask

Does she really have an almost CapA liked shield?
Better with long hair, right?.
Anyone saw the trailer of the new Captain Marvel movie from MCU (2018)? Stark, Romanof and Fury are inside....

Together in this Decool release is Hyperion. Came with a funny looking cape (one sided), do not know if it is an error or on purpose... but I do saw some comic pictures of Hyperion having only one sided cape
0249 Mark Milton Hyperion
Alternate Cheeky face of Marvel's Superman
Although not a release from this set, but I bought the below minifig on the same day ...yep, Wonder Woman from Decool's BvS release.
0241 Wonderful

SY668 Golden King of Glory 王者荣耀

This set is really GOOD as GOLD.
"Daughter Thor"
You don't want to get poked with that!
Athena

Looks like "Transformer Loki"
墨子 MoZhi

The staff looks familiar??!
He has wings
鬼谷子 (Gui Guzi)

One word, KILL
Cheng Yaojin

Yes, the weapon is T H I S  L O N G !
Han Xing

She has long Hair

Another long weapon
No, I am not the Shredder
Dian Wei

That block at the side is a carry case
Unique plastic cape piece at the back
Bian Que
Although some characters are not really gold originally, but it is still a good representation. SY extra effort to replicate the characters details with the application of plastics strips prints are great. The weapons are also a plus point here, and the rotating metallic round base is unique and welcome comparing to a lot of other brands that do not even provide a simple base plate anymore.

DG 993# - King of Glory 王者荣耀

Another King Of Glory set from DG (Not the Telco company DiGi) This brand has a logo which looks like a hybrid of D and G.
Unique yellow strip piece in Na Zar
Na Zar
At least DG put some effort in Han Xin's spear
Han Xin
Li Bai minifig, Nice hair ears and sword
Li Bai (Fox of a thousand years skin)
"Time for me to perform"  - Nice Guitar
Gao Jian Li
Nope, he is not Ash from the Pokemon anime series ....
Lu Ban VII Video game boy skin
Robin with Midas Punch?
Its' actually Dharmo
The faceless one

DG did make an effort on this set, but some characters can do with more detail. A printed face with specs will better depicts Dharmo, but the Robin face is really... "Imaginative". Luban 7 Video boy  details is just too less. No base plate included for all the minifigs.
One thing I found out is that DG arms cannot be fitted with normal SY, DLP, LG hands. It can only be fitted with Dargo hands. This set also comes with bricks for us to assemble the dice for a board game. So, does DG stands for DarGo?
If you wonder why there are only 7, because I did not get the monkey king, its face look ugly in this release.
