The same argument also works for regular minifigs. So someone may say that they prefer to give my money to the original creator, but why pay $20 for a set with one minifig when I can buy a perfectly acceptable fake for $1.
If fakes are perfectly acceptable for $500 figures, then with the same logic they should also be perfectly acceptable for $10 ones. The quality is just the same between the fake $500 fig and the fake $10 fig.
I'm also glad that the topics have been moved to community rather than in the main themes and interests categories. After all, eurobricks is a lego site, not a fake lego site.
At $10 a figure, I can afford to buy it from the original source. Since I'm a LEGO collector, official figures are preferable to fake figures. At $500 a figure, it's out of the question for me to buy the original, so I buy the next best thing. The knockoff.

Great indeed. What legs did you use? Mines got a TLG cape too, it just got really dirty somehow, so far I've only used cape madness to get more yellow capes and a dark blue one, the TLG yellow ones are tough to get man.
I'm using these legs, although I think I prefer the ones you used.

I'm not really a fan of DC Comics nor this type of movies, but this set is really sharp looking!!
-
Moon Knight
Great customs!
Also, your Moon Knight is the exact same as mine, except mine has different legs and a TLG cape. Great minds?

It doesn't matter to me how good they are. They are not Lego. They are infringing patents. And I'd not have felt satisfied as a LEGO collector to have those figures in my collections because they simply are not LEGO.
You can actually get a chinese ripoff Ferrari, but no way I'm gonna push that p.o.s to +250km/h
I guess you're okay with anyone ripping you off your work then?
This is not EB material, imho that is
And I'm positive that is not doing anything good for the EB/TLG love affair either
There is a lot of mindless hate going on in this thread. Have you guys considered that not everyone can afford the $300+ SDCC exclusives?

Just use the Starlord outfit from the 20 dollar set.
In the photos I posted, it looks more purple than red. I just watched the movie for a second time, though, and in the film it looks the same red as Star-Lord's.

man, I saw GoTG today, what a great movie, being as I havent been a fan of the MCU in general this is a real pleasant surprise. That being said, great idea KingPixels, and a great start, would you add a round 1x1 tile in pearl grey to his head? Any of the ravagers could be made using Star Lords official torso, throw all kinds of alien heads on there. Using plain yellow torsos and legs you could do the guardians in jail. I cant really think of anything else.
I loved the movie as well. It had a great sense of humour and it looked amazing. I think a 1x1 tile would look. Not a lot of options there.
What would be a good torso for him?
An idea for a Collector that isn't $170:
Old HP Snape torso and legs
Old stern head (not specific)
Doc Brown hair
Arctic Batman cape
Bam, cheap Collector.
That would work nicely, I agree.

How about we get brainstorming for some Guardians of the Galaxy characters?
To start, us off, I've been looking for a good blue head for Yondu. How's this one?
-
One thing to note: Groot never gets really big in the movie, so the LEGO version of him is just way out of scale.
Also, I found this pretty cool picture.
-
I really hope that they eventually make this set a reality. I had the official toy van back in the day. Very nice cartoony design. Brings back memories. :)
Apparently a Turtle Van is in the works for Season 3. Except a LEGO set of it.

Well you have to admit that Super Heroes in general are known for hourglass torsos and over sized breasts so in Christo's case he's just going for accuracy. So it's not totally Christos fault.
But the hips usually continue to the far side of the torso at least. The amount of negative space Christo uses is weird looking.
-
Found this interesting...
...anyone along the European Coast happen to scrap up some of these old pieces??
You'd think a publication like that would know better than to say 'Legos'.
-
It would fit.
Thanks for the pic! That hairpiece would be perfect.
I was reading stuff in Groovebricks when they apparently reported that a man stole 50 the collector exclusives from sdcc, he goes by the name of McBalderus (username) on 4chan
Sad for the ones that are going or want to get it
4chan doesn't really have usernames. A tripcode is different.

Nice head for Venom!
-
Looks good. But why do they have noses?
-
Emma's hair from the LEGO Friends line could work?
-Sci
good idea. I still think qui gon's nails the pony tail and shape best though. It would be good for lego. They'd be reusing an existing piece in a different colour rather than molding anything new which they would like. Then again we might just get the standard Thor hairpiece we have been getting.
You guys are both missing the fact that it has to fit over a cape.
-
Anyone else hope they update Thor in the new Avengers sets? I think he would look a lot more accurate using Bard's hairpiece in dark tan rather than the bright yellow Aragorn one.
I'd say that hairpiece in tan.

Scroll down on the first page................

Sorry, don't know how I missed that.

Where is the Marvel thread?

To everyone pining for that stubble head, just wait until we get the new cowls, then use a Wolverine Cowl head.

As a fan, I don't want it to flop. Fox is going to retain the rights either way, so I'd prefer a great, high-quality, successful movie. Marvel Studios vs Fox is as stupid and pointless as Marvel vs DC. I don't care who makes it as long as it's good, and I don't care about shared universes since the FF wouldn't work very well in the MCU anyway.
