Review : Pack of Templar minifigs by Super Briques

We are now interested in a product that is indeed based on official LEGO elements but which is not a reference offered by the manufacturer. It's the sign Super Bricks who currently markets this "Templar Pack"which, as the title suggests, allows you to obtain three minifigs in the colors of the Order of the Temple and a few accessories. UV printing well known to anyone looking to print custom parts in small series.

I had already specified it to you, the result obtained via UV printing is quite acceptable on small surfaces, even if the process does not make it possible to obtain the visual uniformity guaranteed by pad printing, in particular on solid surfaces. . Production times are much shorter than with pad printing, the drying of the inks by polymerization under UV radiation being immediate.

This UV printing process which makes it possible not to "dig" the parts as is the case with the engraving already offered by several brands, is also used by LEGO for its Minifigure Factory installed in some LEGO Stores, a service that allows you to personalize and print very quickly on a souvenir minifig of your visit to the store. It is therefore not an exotic technique or a simple economical alternative, even the manufacturer has gotten into it.

I also note that the Super Briques brand has made a lot of progress on the quality of printing since its beginnings and the result here is visually very convincing. You really have to look very closely to tell the difference with an average quality pad printing and the possible integration of the torsos, armor and other shields delivered in this pack to your dioramas will probably not shock anyone.

The good idea of ​​the pack: the use of torsos with gray hands which will allow to replace the three different yellow heads but with a look a little too vintage for my taste by flesh-colored copies. The design of the torso seems successful to me, with a piece of chainmail that protrudes under the white garment stamped with the red cross. I am a little less convinced by the design of the leather belt, the edges of which seem a little thin to me compared to the usual official designs which often use slightly thicker outlines, but it is mainly a matter of taste. The three torsos are identical and are only printed on the front side, so the back of the minifigs is neutral.

As you will have understood, this is a niche product that occupies a niche that LEGO will never explore, the manufacturer contenting itself at best with evoking a largely idealized Middle Ages and without religious reference. There is undoubtedly a clientele for this type of minifigs, but it is above all the possibilities of personalization via UV printing that are highlighted here with a product that makes good use of them.

To obtain personalized elements based on your designs or ideas, you must make your request via the form located at this address adding the visuals you want to print and specifying the format and quantity. The sign will then provide you with an estimate, it is then up to you to see if the asking price is right for you.

In conclusion, I think this product has been thought out and executed well enough to be worthy of fans of this type of content. The sign does not encroach on the LEGO flowerbeds and fills a void. I would have added a horse in the pack, but the selling price would not have been the same.

If you have read this article so far, know that the brand is currently offering a promotional offer that allows readers of the site to obtain an additional templar minifig when purchasing a pack that already contains three with the coded HBTEMPLIER. So you get on arrival four minifigs on the same theme with their accessories for 24.99 €. The offer is valid until June 22, 2022 inclusive.
