custom-minifigs-lego-eclipsegrafx

I received the three minifigs offered by eclipseGRAFX and sold on minifigures.co.uk : Cyclops, Storm and Rogue. These three minifigs are also marketed under different names (Lazer Beam, Tempest and Emerald) to cope with copyright issues ...

In short, overall, the quality is there. The printing technique is the same as that used by Christo: The pad-printing or Pad printing.

We therefore find the same qualities as on the Christo minifigs: 360 ° printing, finesse of the line, perfect setting of the different layers and alignment of the edges. Cyclops and Snape are successful. Storm is a little less so for my taste. The lightning around the eyes is too much, although I understand the intention. Note that these are interpretations of the versions comic characters, not the movies.

I paid a total of £ 72 (€ 84) including postage for the three minifigs. It is very expensive in absolute terms for unofficial minifigs, but it is almost correct considering the level of finish of these minifigs.

These three minifigs are the first in a new series launched by eclipseGRAFX. The technical know-how is there, it remains to be seen what direction this manufacturer of custom minifigs will take in terms of design.

You can buy these minifigs at minifigures.co.uk (UK) or on lapetitbrique.com (FR).
