Some request me to write more (really?) instead of just posting pictures, but I explained to them that this not a review site, hence the few words. Well, since it is nearly the end of 2018, I will do some personal comments on various Bootlego minifigures which I believe some already know what to expect after all these years.
LB+
I have not bought any LB before. But after I got one, I realize LB is actually LEBQ, and although LEBQ make their logo very similar to ori LG, their actual fig is NG (Not good). I gonna advise avoid if can, but I think I will go straight to the point, Avoid at all cost.
LOHO
Did not even know this brand exist until I saw it on the shelf. I got one of their translucent minifig, hence it came with a LED illuminated display stand. Not bad actually, but do anyone know which Ninja is this? This is one of the few presentable ones, some characters are really unknown.
JLB
Okay, I bought this brand some years back (way back) as they came out with some different characters. Been quite some time, and it seems like JLB has improved (just like LeLe) and is actually quite okay and more justified to buy. Still I should say get them for the different characters not released by other brands, like this Howard the duck in business suit. The bikes comes together. The set actually has the Duckpool minifig with bike, but already sold out.
DS (Disen)
My first time getting DISEN minifig. Got their AOU Vision release and Electro. Their minifig came with a so called "Super Scaling" display stand which is shown on the Electro minifig (maybe just fior this release). Base on the stand, you will know how good (or bad) their bricks are. But, the minifigs are ok with decent prints.
YE
YE, famous for their dino releases.I did get a YE before, but its more of a bootkreo than a bootlego. Their minifigs have articulation similar to KreO's minifig but with just basic front print. I got the SUREP X-MEN release and Professor X really looks like he's gonna puke.
OBM
Again another basic presentable minifig brand. OBM came out with quite a number of Ninja releases and other themes, and I think they are not bad. I only have one of them, hence can't really judge.
SL Toy
Give this brand an A and B (Awful and Bad). Everything is out, even the colors. I remember their horrible take on the minions minifig. Their later take on the minions did improve, but still Sucks.

Enlighten
Most of the time they come out with big sets. Their minifig series are their own original design, so ENLI can't really be called bootlego, and hence is quite a respectable brand. Somehow, most of the time they mainly do front print. I do not see any new minifigs sets from them recently, they may have improved, or they just concentrate back on their big sets. Get them for their unique Asian characters.
Dargo (DG)
Dargo, who dar-go to uncharted territory. DG mainly do bootlego, hence they are actually competing with some better bootlego brand which have better prints and fittings. Somehow I feel they are not really there, but still can can get them if really want to get the different characters. The thing is DG's hand are not compatible with the other bootlego hands, like to use alternative parts and they are not generous with additional minibuilds either.
TIGER
Seldom comes to my area. Not bad, but still not up to par.
