SY279 Heroes Assemble - Double face print

Sheng Yuen SY went back to release similar DC vs Marvel Super Heroes of SY180 which is also almost similar to Decool initial DC vs. Marvel Super Heroes selection, Cap A, Wolvie, Spidey, Batman, IronMan, Mini Hulk, Thor and Superman. I remember the first time when I saw this minifigs from Decool I really like them, but find them a bit expensive.
Although the Heroes are the same, but this time most of them have helmets, except Supe, Hulk and Spidey. I did not get all of them, as most of them I already have. I only get Thor, Hulk, Supe and Batman ( I have a lot of batman, but do not have one with open wings). To my surprise this set from SY has double side face printing just like Decool. Is SY going to stay this way or this is just one time deal. If SY is going in this dual face direction, I believe more will prefer SY as some Decool printing quality is deteriorating. But some face are kinda weird to fit those full face mask, so, although the double face is a plus, but it's also a minus, which is why I did not get the full set.
Batman looks a bit cuckoo (BIG grin), and he is blind as a bat *(yes, the color inside the eye is black)
The other face of Batman and Modern Armor Thor-without the beard
The mini Hulk has AOU pants with bushy eyebrow - angrier face

Ausini Armor Heroes and Sluban Sub

Got two small Ausini Armored Heroes, the Red guy (my little boy likes red) and the Black guy. For RM3+, there are quite a number of pieces to assemble (min 60 pcs). Ausini fitting is quite loose, so, some of the assembly easily fall off - especially the arms. But, I find the finished figures look quite good.

Got the Sluban brand Nuclear Sub. This model has a scale of 1:350, seems like it is modeled from a real sub. Maybe it is a Chinese sub. Fitting is good. Nice for display as it also provide us a display stand made from bricks. Some sellers are selling this set as part of a 4 in 1 set consisting of a Carrier, Cruiser, Destroyer and Sub. The carrier measures 890mm in length, really plan to get it if it comes to my area. The only thing not good with this set is the stickers, the quality is "too good". Well, the sticker plastic is real thick, hence when we stick on a curve surface, it will not stay stick.
Cap A for size reference

Decool Ninja 0077 - 0085 Jungle Robes

Decool - This 9 box set base on Ninja minifigures is cool.  Very seldom I can get Decool sets over my place. Ninjago character are the same except for their robes (Jungle robes) , but the bad guys are different, and I like them bad-ass snakes. For me. its a good set.

Father and daughter - Master Chen and Skylor is in this set
Like those Anacondrai - tails included
The other face of Nindroid Titanium Zane and Skylor (looks like Iron Fist)

SY209 Sheng Yuen Heroes with Vehicles (red skull tank)

This set came in 4 boxes. I did not get SY209B as it is the same Riddler's green car from Batman - The Riddler chase set. (maybe smaller??  but look similar)

SY209A
Purple Hawkeye and a cool purple bike. Hawkeye can't sit on the bike, so have to make him "Rempit", wooooo!!
WROOOOM!!
SY209C
Red skull and his cute mini tank. The tank look like a Microfighter. Great Red Skull minifig

For the last time - This is NOT a TOY!
SY209D
Director Fury and his mini Helicarrier. This one is really in the category of SY's Marvel Super Heroes Microfighter series. The helicarrier is quite a build at 117 pcs. Fury has a lighter skin tone in this set, The fitting of the back rotors is quite loose.to the body.
Pym - did you shrunk my Helicarrier?

I did get the Riddler Green car a few months later. The car is shorter compare to the Batman - The Riddler chase set.
One reader request me for the red skull tank instruction. Found in the net.
