DOLL D120 Star Wars The Force Awakens LEGO minifigures

This is my 3rd set of LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens minifigures. Let's see if this set is better than OK1047 or Dargo #867.

There's only 6 minifigures in this set and a box like this accommodate 2 complete sets. 





Name of the minifigures are written on the box:

D120-1 Lego Captain Phasma
D120-2 Lego First Order Stormtrooper
D120-3 Lego First Order Flametrooper
D120-4 Lego General Hux
D120-5 Lego Kylo Ren
D120-6 Lego First Order Tie Fighter Pilot






I was surprised to open the first box and found out there is white figure in the bag when I expect a black figure (General Hux). I assume this is just a common error..they must have wrongly packed that poor guy with General Hux.



Hey, turned out all bags come with extra figure! Silly me. I did not pay attention to the box. (^_^)'. You will get extra First Order Crew Member OR First Order Flametrooper with each figure!



Front and rear view of the minifigures: (Main minifigures on right side and the extra figure on left side.)








Hmm, I hereby confirmed that the quality of the minifigures (in terms of the plastic and print on the torso) is much better than OK or Dargo. 



I could not believe they were very generous to give these extra figures at the same price for 6 figures.



If you are planning to build an army of FO stormtrooper and FO flametrooper, this set is the one. I can't believe i get these at price of 6!

    2. @Batsy Bats. thanks for pointing that out :).

      The first thing that I see when looking at the difference between the minifigures is quality of the print. that's why i come out with that conclusion ahaha. In this pic for example..

    2. Hi,
      There's one pack of TFA minifigures including two Resistance soldiers. Look for this.

  3. the helmet print for the stormtrooper and captain phasma seems a bit off. Is it just me? or is it the angle of the photograph that tricked my eyes....

    1. hi @Anonymous :). ah..about that, im sure my photography skill is to be blamed ahah. anyway, allow me to have them side by side with original LEGO (from bricklink) of course:

      from what i can see here, even the helmet size is different. LEGO version is wider IMO. but one thing for sure the the mouth print (W shape) is wider on LEGO.

  4. That Phasma is smilling to me.

    Can you compare the print quality of all three Kylo Ren you've bought?

    1. Out of the three, I'd say that the Doll one is the best. I just opened up all three reviews and looked at the pictures of Kylo.

      Doll has the least smudgy printed one, they have also printed the belt buckle with a shiny silver that makes it stand out from the gray lines supposed to be folds in the cloth.

      Open these links in different tabs and switch between them and you'll see:

      OK brand: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OY7xVs5OlrI/VqZFWXESmlI/AAAAAAAAJj8/ulzAkCwjJD0/s1600/DSC_0184%2Bcopy.jpg

    2. Hi @Anonymous. thank you for helping me answer the question by @Yuri Gonçalves :).

      @Yuri Gonçalves; as pointed out by @anonymous, DOLL's is the best so far. unfortunately i'm 200km away from home now but i could help you photoshopped them side by side:

      OK's the worst because of distorted print on the torso and totally wrong helmet shape (^_^)"

  7. Hey great review btw. I'm actually looking to get a bootleg version of star wars figures. Do you think it's worthwhile to get Doll?

    Based on the pictures alone, it does seem that Doll closely resembles with the original lego version. Just curious, am I right to say that when you are comparing this figures with other brands, they are taken under different lighting? If the pictures are taken under different lighting, the comparison may be a little biased.

    1. @ bev
      Lego version pic is from bricklink. So it was shooted by a different person in different conditions.
      http://www.bricklink.com/ML/sw663.jpg

      Anyway. Considering the bootleg minifig prices the quality is really decent.

      Delete
    2. Hi @Batsy Bats; thanks for the explanation :). I strongly agree with you about their price vs quality.

      [img]http://i.imgur.com/q6pbrsz.jpg[/img]
      some people might have money to buy the original but for some that don't (put aside morale and other code) these imitation is one of the solution. Collectors and true fan willing to spend but for some who just wanna play, these stuff are just plastic.. with prints. lol.

      @Bev; Few years back, I used to compare them (original vs imitation) side by side but after some time, (due to budget constraints of course) i didnt get the chance to get all the latest LEGO figure to compare hence i photoshop those images from bricklink to my photos.

      Delete
    3. Thanks for the update. Can you tell me where you got these and how much was it?

    4. Hi @Bevano L; i got these stuff at local shop near my house. This set of 6 priced around RM17.. that's about USD4 after conversion.

      found the same set being sold on aliexpress around $5.59.

  9. Hi. Thanks for the review all this 3 brands. I want to make the FO army then... (but damn, the original lego brands still the best) maybe i just point out some from lego such as cap. plasma, kylo ren then comebine it with doll army (><)y

    1. Hi @Anonymous. i'll do the same if i want to create a diorama. It is a satisfaction if you are able to get the original LEGO for the main characters (Kylo Ren, Capt Phasma) but if you are on budget, these stuff will save you a lot for the troopers. After all they are all needed in large quantities therefore not much of a difference can be seen if we look at it through the whole diorama.

  10. Hi there mate!

    You write about flametrooper army builder... :-)

    I was just thinking... when it comes to the "second (additional) figs" does the flametroopers come with full flametrooper equipment (i.e. tanks on the back+flame thrower...) like when the flametrooper is "the first fig"?

    Or is it just the mini figure + a blaster/rifle... that could potentially be equipped as a flametrooper with some additional bricks...

    Hope you catch what I mean :-)

    1. Additional minifigs have no platforms and have only blasters/riffles as accessories.

      again, my review lack of info about the accessories that come with the minifigures. sorry @Gnrl Clstr. as explained by @Batsy Bats, the additional figs have no baseplate and only come with simple blaster/rifle.

      Delete
    3. Actually... what do you call a flame trooper lacking his flame trooper gear? I think LEGO never encountered this problem... Hm... I do not think it is fair to call it a storm trooper (refereing to your thoughts on army building of FO stormtroopers)...

      So are you sure that the quality of the Doll FO storm trooper is better than the DARGO version when it comes to brick and print? I figure you got both at hand... I still only have the DARGO figurine :-) One quality with DARGO is that these guys is very easy to buy in bulk/single mini figure @ AliEx...

      Delete
    4. The one that actually is flametrooper has his gear. Gear often is not shown at reviews, but it is in the set. Unfortunately only one minifig has the flametrooper gear. I think it is possible to fing singly sold minifigs at Ali and buy several flametroopers. Pic:

      Btw Lego is Lego. These minifigs are several times cheaper than original Lego and they are very very fine for 50 cent minifigs.

      About quality. It was stated in review that the DOLL is the best from others. You can see a picture comparing Kylo Ren minifig by lego and bootlegers above in comments. Doll is the closest to Lego and has the most accurate print. Dargo is the second best though.

    5. Thx again Batsy! Yes I saw the Kylo R comparations above :-) I won't need any more of that character I guess :-) By now I'm quite satisfied with my stock of everything but the FO storm troopers... BUT I've got a lot of ordinary versions and also the Rebel version of storm troopers so maybe I should just walk away from these FO ones... However, I'm still kinda curios :-)

      I wish I could upload pics myself... Most of the time the attach image option is not available by some reason... And when available the code image does not work/display properly... Using Chrome in combination with Win 7. Anyone else having probelms with images?

      Delete
    6. It's blooger service. Not very convenient tbh.
      Upload option isn't available at all I guess.
      I use BBCode img tag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode scroll to the img description to see the example.
      I'm on Win7+Chrome as well.

  11. Super thanx Batsy!
    I thought so :-) Good to know!

    I'm buying some extra figs to my LEPIN sets :-)
    These seems better than the ones I got so far from LEPIN, XINH and DARGO!

    Best
