[Kire]

Is there any reverse printing on the basketball players?

Yes there are

Bootlegs don't appear to be having much of an impact: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/sep/02/lego-profits-sky-rocket-toys-space

[Robianco]

So the most rapid growth for a company that is already the number one in the world comes from the region that is responsible for the bootleg figures everyone seems to have an issue with. Might be in their best interest to do nothing and let the profits roll in.

[wilson3a10]

That profit making may still continue in 2016 as both star wars, dc and marvel have new movies.

Also Thing has the FF emblem on his belt. Most of the old sets didn't have that.

Good spot! I have two sets of these - just checked and it's one of each type. I wonder how many other figures have had different versions in the same sets? Obviously SY's switch from tapered feet. Also the SY Batman set switched from capes to plastic wings. So what other changes have people noticed?

I give up, whats the arm issue?

I'm guessing you are referring to the SY Big Fig?, cause my Decool Thing (which I got ages ago has the "4" logo on the belt)....

[agoodfella77]

I hope that one of the makers do a proper SUPER SKRULL fig:

Are those new FF arms an update from the old ones or just a personal upgrade with real lego?

The new Antman set looks impressive but I definitely wannt to see photos before I buy. Shame Wasp doesn't seem to have wings

Yeah would be great if it came with the wings. Check out the dedicated Customization of Bootlegs thread for a post on my MOC wings.

For my fellow Jurassic World fans...

Here's hoping we might see the Rexys from Dino and the Triceratops down the line. I'd love a green Rex. There's also still Raptor designs to burn through.

Btw, the JLB fairies is a decent place to get some wings. It takes a bit of LEGO engineering (you need a trans neck bracket the one that Hawkman uses and then 2 trans round pins that come with the new Friends sets) and voila:

Thanks for the tip! I'll make a note of it.

No probs -- throw up some pics if you get around to it :)

Someone here suggested buying the head for symbiote suit Spider-Man, I did and I gotta say it looks pretty awesome so whoever you are, thanks! :D

Creating Constantine can be pretty easy though... even if it's not perfect.

Sorry to jump off topic, but I'd love to cobble together myself a Constantine like that, where'd the jacket come from?

If that's the head from Firestar Toys then it was probably me that mentioned it... and you're welcome! ;)

The overcoat was from a seller on eBay called Easton:

Their capes and overcoats are great. The one I used was 'tan' although it's closer to dark tan as you can see from the minifig's arms. Torso is an Indiana Jones torso... and as someone else mentioned, Star Lord's head works better than Indy's. I've now made that change.
