Found a new SD Gundam show on CN.

Well, that's actually not related to Gundams. Tenkai Knights is produced in part by Spinmaster to sell their new brand of brick building sets.

I saw an ad for the product based on this show on Cartoon Network recently. My dad was watching with me and thought that LEGO would sue the maker behind these toys. I reminded him that the LEGO brick patent expired, and that it was now legal for other companies to design their own LEGO-like construction products.

By the way, the bricks in these toys are compatible with LEGO, according to the official Tenkai Knights Web site (5th question from the top).

Has anyone bought Tenkai Knights? Is the quality anywhere near that of LEGO?

You can see that the plastic just screams quality: :sick:

Definitely not near Lego.

Ah yes, a crappy photo says it all. Save the vomit bag till you actually see it for yourself. Just because a building block toy isn't LEGO doesn't automatically make it crap.

[Junpei]

The quality of the photo doesn't matter, you can just see the quality of the plastic...

[Toa_Of_Justice]

I think I can see where the quality of the molding and printing falls a little short. But what about the strength of the plastic? Do the limbs and joints have any strength to them, or are they very fragile?

You people just think anything that is'nt LEGO is bad. That's sad. I love the Toys and Show.

Jangbricks has done a review of a set from this line on his YouTube channel. He seems to like it.

Jhang bricks did a review of a set, and I believe The Brick Show did one or two. The sets struck me as sort of gimmicky with the "transforming bricks".

I own the Bravenwolf titan set, and its plastic is great quality. Don't let the glossy look fool you, so far it has proven its durability. P.S. I love the show, its the only thing I wake up early for on Saturdays.

I saw these Jangbricks reviews:

Based on what I've seen, I think the concept is innovative, but I think Spinmaster will need to work on these figures for a while (especially on articulation and part quality) before I'd consider buying them.

In the meantime, I'll stick to the bricks I know I enjoy... Leg Godt!

P.S. I bet these pieces could be used to create better versions of Tenkai-style figures.
