Hey ho. I haven't posted anything for quite a while. Today I took 5 minifigs for comparison, which is 25% of the whole set.
Lego minifigures will be always on the left, while Pogo - on the right
First goes 71020-1: Friends are Family Harley Quinn. Let's get clear about bootlego, which is Pogo here. Pogo is able to make own molds based on minifigure pics of Lego future releases (they had Batbunny and Baturion long before TRU exclusive set was out. Besides Baturion Pogo made has white skin color, exactly like leaked catalog displayed it, while real baturion was flesh colored). So Pogo made friends are family Harly before cmfs were out - PG312. But later they've issued updated Harley based on CMF - PG402, but it was numbering failure, as PG402 was chromed Deadpool, so the real number should be PG1189, though nobody on AE sells her under that number.
So it's 71020-1 vs. PG1189(402):
From the first glance they are almost identical, though Lego dual molds hair, while Pogo colors them, and not without flaws. Also there is small issue with face print, Pogo colors are a little bit dim.
Pogo minifigure has some problem with holding itself together, skates fall easily and torso can be easily separated from legs because of skirt.
Arm side prints are on par.
Pretty similar here are well, but Pogo has some paint spots. This may vary from figure to figure. You may be lucky and get ideally painted fig as well as horrible one.
Second face here. Pogo version is little more dim as well.
In general they are very similar, but minor color differences and some painting issue are visible.
71020-7: Tropical Joker vs. PG(1195)408 (same story with numbering issue).
Pink color on glasses is more dark on Pogo version, as well as there's coloring issue on duck's beak and no moon painted on duck's head. Pogo's transparent stud on camera is pretty milky, but Pogo's popsicle looks better. Sandals' tone is different, so are hair.
Lego has dual molded arms and legs, Pogo just paints them, though it's done pretty accurately on this minifigure.
Pogo's back print is little off and a little dimer.
Second faces.
So, minor tone differences, but Pogo is pretty close to Lego. Also Pogo build is assembled tight and does not separate from 1 tough like Harley minifig.
71020-9: Vacation Batgirl vs PG1197(410)
Pogo has some issue with aligning face print. They print it too high and it doesn't look well with cowl. To make it looks better you'll have to rause the cowl a little bit
Pogo's yello is dimer the Lego's but Pogo's metallic is shinier.
No dual mold for Pogo here as well. Surf board is ok.
Also nicely one minifig.
71020-8: Vacation Robin vs. PG1193(407)
Some printing Pogo issues here. Looks at right arm, flasses and paint spot on shorts. Also Pogo shirt is dimer.
Lego has more gold on boombox,
but Pogo has more gold on ... icecream.
I would say Pogo is fine, especially if you'll be lucky enough to get perfectly printed version.
71020-6: Swimming Pool Batman vs. PG1196(409)
The cowl. Lefo has whole cowl, swimming glasses can't be separated. While Pogo has usual cowl + rubber glases.
Skin tone is different.
Lego dolphin is bigger,
But you can do it like that with pogo:
Also pretty well. Ruber swimming glasses from Pogo are a plus and a minus, they can be placed differently but can be torn easily as well.
So, if there's not much painting job and no dual mold Pogo can work very well. They are woth attention if Lego are expensive at your place.
