I recommend knock offs for the accessories, so much awesome custom parts

This is actually amazing man you put a lot of work into this one and it’s great.

For how cheap they are, they’re certainly super high quality. Definitely one of the most underrated / underground collection-type hobbies out there so that’s probably why.

Although WM blocks kinda struggles between marvel, dc, and star wars products, i think the main factor they shine on is custom lego anime and minifigure accecories. This video is very informative and deserves more appreciation

Koruit is definetly the best, only to mention that they add armour not bulky (talking about clone wars minifigs) so printing in the torso is minimal, however amazing printing on legs and arms. Commenting on brickpanda, yes it is easiest one to buy from but it comes with higher prices

[bradcha]

Ali expressed doesn't reveal the whole image because lego's legal team got involved, so aliexpress can't sell full minifigures, so the work around loop hole is to make it look like you're only selling parts on the advertising, and then just send the whole figure

I Designed many of these, I don't get payed to do it, I love to do it, I'm not the only one who desines these for Companies in China, sometimes they Print them Wrong or in the wrong colors, I have No Input on what gets done in the final product some times it's close but sometimes they rune the desine, but that's china for You, I also desine Custom STLs for custom Parts when needed. I get 0 Credit & don't often talk about it, But if You have a Comic or Video Game Character It's likely You have many of my desines. I started back in 2016 when most companies were still very Low Quality. But these Days it's amazing what they can do!

There is Flash minigifure. They sold unofficial custom of Gustin’s flash, Ezra’s flash, Affleck’s batman, Supergirl, and Keaton’s Batman. The helmet design is compleatly phenomenal. They only reuse Ezras flash helmet/cowl for Gustin’s flash figure. The detailing is phenomenal.

The brand logo is a letter G.

Does anyone know which brand makes the GHO/GOO minifigs? They were the ones that made the jedi temple guard and tales of the jedi dooku figs which were pretty good quality.

[PyroHood]

I love how you give guides to this it really helps thanks

[geekover]

In the premium customs community, we consider a knock-off/bootleg as being any fig that is printed on non-lego parts. Anything else is considered a custom fig. For a long time, bootleg brands were copying custom brand designs (Leyilebrick, Lab9, Dragonbrick, etc.) Then they started going into their own original work which was great, but sadly there has been a resurgence of bootleg brands copying premium custom designers such as Abnormal, LCM, Feelings, Jaka, etc. - BTW phonetically you can pronounce XINH as 'SEEN' ;) Keep up the great work!

[NobleManager]

Man, thanks a lot for this video, you can tell a lot of effort went into making it, cheers!

[EmetonVanDamme]

Congratulations Ryan, I've seen videos of guys showing knock offs claiming that they "upgraded" the design of lego figurines and say they would never buy a chinese, you are different, you speak with the truth, thumbs up for you bro 👍👍👍

[ginnayhandjeferro]

Please make a video on how to get a lego comic wanda🙏🙏🙏

[donovandelaney]

American Plastic Bricks are the OG. I love them and Lego should buy them and bring them back into production.

[Natescreations-we]

This guy's my favorite YouTube imo

[MasterShlemonOffical]

I think it's best to buy one figure and if it arrives and is good then you know you can buy more
