    I feel like knockoffs should be called customs because they are the smartest they made a mostly better Lego figure and sell them for a reasonable price. No customs should over 100 dollars. You are basically paying for one mini figure for the price of a great Lego set. And you people who encourage the whole idea that LEGO mini figures should be more expensive is what is making Lego sets more expensive. Like The LOTR sets.

    I agree you are paying more money than the set of the Lego one. Also, I think the only reason Tommy can afford these is because he makes a lot of money from KZread. I think anyone who just makes a regular salary would find this a ridiculous purchase. That would also explain how he was able to spend 1 grand on his Spider-Man no way home character showcase.

    While yea the custom LEGO fig is definitely a lot better. U can’t ignore the fact tht a lot of people don’t have the money to spend $100 on one minifig. The fact tht your able to get tht much detail on a fig tht costs the same as legos is insaine. Knock off figs are 100x better than how they used to be and in a lot of situations, WAY better then LEGO in generals designs. Just make sure u have a lead detector near. They like to cheap out with the paint a lot.

    Knockoffs seem to be really inconsistent with quality. Sometimes they’re decent, sometimes they’re disgustingly bad. Usually if something is printed on Lego parts, the person or company who made it cares much more about quality than the average Chinese knockoff company who doesn’t print on Lego parts

    Its hard to believe that the expensive one is from the same person who did the lizard but also £150 is a lot for a minfigure, the closet comparison is micromee based in the UK who sells this at £70 for that it includes the offical minifig and each of 8 pieces that are made from durable resin and paints the parts. A comparison between the ones I mentioned would be nice to see as I personally can't see where the extra £80 difference comes from, I understand that it is almost certainly PAD printed so that would add on between £20-£45 based on CAC prices (camo gregor has comparible level of detail and is £35)

    I'd advise caution with regards to the knock-off minifigures. I bought a few from Etsy and had a near-allergic reaction to the plastic. Like, scratchy throat, feeling like it might close up reaction. If you have any sort of reactions or allergies, better err on the side of caution. I mean, sure, I have odd reactions to things like the paper/ink they use on some UK comics (the Panini Marvel paperbacks, etc.), and Halfords has always made my hands swell up and itch (I said odd). Still, I'd say be careful. Plus, of course, you may not want to get the fake pieces mixed up with your genuine Lego if you like cycling sets and figures in and out of your collection. I'm happy enjoying my purist customs, though I really like the look of those custom Spidey heads over at Firestar Toys.

    I think both the Custom and KO are actually worse than the official one. The KO just looks bad. & the Custom looks un-Lego-like & just _too_ clunky. & the faceprint is _uh-gly_ . The official one's helmet actually looks good & isn't bad. If you really want the suit to be more clunky & accurate to the movie, then use the Praetorian Guard armor in silver or maybe the bigger Chima armor (the bulkier one, not the one with the swoopy shoulders), or maybe the big heavy armor (the same one the Hydro suit has in sand green) in silver, with a 1:1 round tile, aka smooth stud on the front. Choose the best armor out of these options & find some arms to snatch (maybe Din Djarin's) & you've got the best version of the Ironman MK-1 suit in minifig form.
