Adventures of KUTO :: Ep 1 :: Kuto and The Poor Collection

Kuto, the Wange Monster, finally got his day-off, after being my blog mascot for some days. 😒😝 what a spoiled little f*ck.. I'll just let him enjoy the last day of each month, and dedicate a post for Kuto.

"Finallee!! izz Kuto'z Day!! #KutoRulezJune"

..And for his forst day-off, I let Kuto roam around my brick-building table and take photos with some members of The Poor Collection.

[REALISE] No.203-3 DIY SHIP (the worst fake brand ever?)

As I was cleaning one of my closest drawers, I found this box of cheap LEGO knock-off which I remember I bought years ago, even before I made this blog.. but never really get to open nor build.

BRAND: REALISE
SERIES: DIY SHIP (not really sure)
PRICE: 15PHP (US .28 cents)
Probably the cheapest item I have to date, just looking at the product's photograph on the box, you can totally say that the cheap price just fits the cheap materials used.

[Sheng Yuan] SY773G Heroes Assemble - Magneto with Magneto's Magnetic Pusher

A little upgrade from my mini-build reviews, for oday's bootleg reviews, I'll be doing a bigger one... that doesnt sound right haha.

BRAND: Sheng Yuan (SY)
SERIES: Heroes Assemble
PRICE: 180PHP (about US $3.40)
So this is one of my new item from my June haul, it's Magneto with his some kind of a Jet build. This one is part of a set series, where you get 2 of the right pairs and together they combine to form a bigger build. However, I only got this one for now.

[LELE + DECOOL] Ninja Mini-Figures + Throwback Figs!! (Ninjago Knock-offs)

I'm not only fascinated by the Chima themed knock offs and bootlegs now, cause ever since the release of The Lego Ninjago Movie, I've been wanting to collect different minifigures and set from the Ninja theme too!! I know I'm a little too late but, here to start my new collection..

I got 2 loose mini figures from different brands and sets!! I also got a bigger build from another brand but I'll get to that some other day. And since these guys are from 2 different brands, I'll make a separate review for them in one post! Starting with...

[WANGE] Wange Monsters 6201 - Eye Beast

When it comes to gimmicks, these bootleg companies who rips LEGO products are just as creative and will always comes up with the silliest way to sell their stuff. Take for example tgis Mixels rip-off from Wange..

BRAND: WANGE

SERIES: Wange Monsters

PRICE: 89.75PHP (about $1.50 US)

It does look like a creepy critter from Mixels, an official series from LEGO,where in you get to build cute creatures with exagerated sizes and numbers of body parts. One thing that Wange tops over everyone elses who rip-off Mixels, though theres not much brands who faked this series, is that they sealed the pieces and parts in an egg-like capsul, making it look like you will have to hatch your little monster.

[DUO LE PIN TOYS] DLP9068 Super Heroes - DC Justice League's Wonder Woman and Aquaman

Off to start my return to toy review and blogging are Wonder Woman and Aquaman from the 2017 DC film, Justice League. Both are part of the 8-in-1 set, and I got them loose, or sold as singles so I didnt manage to get the other 6 for the whole bunch.

BRAND: DUO LE PIN TOYS [DLP9068]

SERIES: Super Heroes - Justice League

PRICE: 80PHP (more than 1US $)

Each box comes with 1 minifigure, set of weapons, a mini build, and an instruction manual. The amount of pieces and parts are not stated wherever the box or the manual.

JUNE 2018 HAUL!! Super Heroes, Ninja, Star Fighter, and a Mixels rip-off?? [Variuous Brands]

BACK IN BIZ
I'm finally back to collecting and reviewing bootlegs and rip-offs of LEGO minifigures and sets.. well, I didnt actually stopped collecting, I just took a long rest from blogging. But thanks to some encouraging by my college friend, EJ, and from someone special who shows much support to my writing and blogging, but not much to toy collecting 😅😅 I'm all back.. hopefully. LOL

JUNE 2018 HAUL
I did had some bootlegs joining my collection while I'm away from blogging, and now that I decided to get back to doing reviews, I got some new (not really) items for my future posts!! Went to Ayala Fairview Terraces to get some minifigures and sets of different brands..

SONNY's TOY ART (finds)
One of my favorite hobby stores in Fairview Terraces, not only they sell cheap LEGO rip-offs, but their gallery of custom action figures and pop culture statues are to die for. In this store, I got...

Some loose Justice League and bootleg Ninjago minifigure boxes from LELE, DECOOL, and Duo Le Pin Toys. DLPT is my new fave brand. Also from DLPT are 2 sets of Super Heroes builds from Spider-Man Homecoming movie. Heroes Assemble's Magneto with Jet Fighter (I dont know wat its called, I dont read chinese) from Sheng Yuan (SY). And Ninja Thunder Swordsman also from SY.

I always wanted to get these Ninja boxes because of the simple build dragons included. I think here are 4 designs but I only got the white dragon, with white ninja, Cole. god, I hope it is him. because you'll never know with these fake brands, until you open the box, and all the letters on the box are in chinese. 😣

These ones, I was a little disappointed.. not because of the brand or the sets themselves.. but because their set builds can be combined with other builds from the same series, but I unfortunately just found out about it now, and I didnt picked the right partners.. 😢😢 more about it once I made the review entry for this blog!!

These are the minifigs. 2 different brands of Ninjago rip-offs, Wu and evil looking Nya. And I didnt gave a closer look before I bought them, but I just found out Wonder Woman and Aquaman comes with a mini-build karts!! 😂

And so does Master Wu!! So cool, he comes with a mini-build white dragon. wonder how it looks compared to Zane's.

METRO DEP. STORE (finds)

The toy section of this department store not only has real deal LEGO products and other authentic stuff in it, but they also sell low quality brands and bootlegs!! Talk about diversity, hahaha.

I however only bought 2 items from the toy section, because they are still pretty pricey compared to other stores, and I just know they are sold almost half the price by other sellers. I just didnt want to wsste my time visiting it so I got a Mixels replica stored in a plastic egg container, I think its called Wange Monsters, maybe, its brand is WANGE. And a Star Fighter mini build with an Astronaut minifigure from JUBILIX.

So excited to open them all!! I'll surely make a review for all of them, complete with unboxing photos. Infact.. I already started opening some. And first ones that will receive a review post...

😊😊😊 for the mean time.. enjoy my previous posts from 2 years ago!! Hehe

[Gifts] Lavertus from Legend of Chima & Miguel Rivera from Coco (Brand ???)

A college pal gave me these 2 awesome minifigures during our class reunion. EJ is an avid bootleg minifigures collector who even visits local events to score some good minifig finds, and he also customises some.

I received an already built Lavertus (Legends of Chima) minifig and a sealed and unbuilt Coco minifig from EJ. I remember he mentioned he has 3 of these Coco minifig and I think he may have got them from one of the events he attended?

LAVERTUS from Legend of Chima

According to my research, the red armour version of Lavertus from the Lion Tribe is from the Target exclusive set release of the original LEGO brand, and Im not sure which bootleg brand made this replica. Comes with a flaming sword and a chi, the stand was borrowed by Miguel.

MIGUEL RIVERA from Coco
Now, Im 100% sure that LEGO hasnt released any official minifigures or sets for the movie Coco to date. But Ive been seeing this minifigure for months now on some groups and fan pages that sells bootleg minifigures. Not sure about the brand but it looks legit. Nice guitar and face print.

So nice not to only reconnect with friends from college and talk about great memories you had together, but to also learn that they are also into stuff that you are which extends the bond that you can have with them. ☺☺
