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.

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"
