Batman CMFs series 2: Lego and Pogo comparison, part 2


Part 2 is coming, part 1 can be found here
Next 5 minifigures.
Like in the previous post Lego minifigures will be always on the left, while Pogo - on the right

71020-2: Friends are Family Alfred vs PG1191(404)

First, clearly visible mistake is flesh colored hands instead of gloves. Also Pogo has a little
issue with hair painting and a little more dim guitar print. But I like how Pogo suit contours are dark and more visible. Also my Lego minifig has weird gap where left leg connects the joint.

Not that much difference if we look from the side.

Well, Lego cloth is certainly done better. Looks like Pogo has misaligned print here. But honestly, if you display them, you usually display front and sides, not rear.

Pogo did good job with this minifigure. Hair printing is decent and sides too. But there are issue with hand colors and cloth printing.

71020-10: Vacation Alfred vs PG1198(411)

Pogo face print is blurry, stripes are thicker and less accurate and there is issue with alignment of leg print.

Pretty similar from sides, but again Pogo has more thick and less accurate lines. Cherry is ok, Pogo has a little more milky glass than Lego (that's general Pogo trouble with transparent parts). The abscence of dual molded arms is not visible here.

But the absence of dual molded legs is very obvious here on Pogo minifigure. Though both of minifigures lack stripes on legs rear and torso sides.

Again, if looking from front and sides, they are pretty identical, though with closer inspection blurry face and inaccurate lines are visible on Pogo.

71020-11: Soccer Mom Batgirl vs PG1199(412)

Pogo preview version had utility belt, but turned out real did not. I thought maybe it was a mistake and seller forgot to put it, as belt from Batbunny or Joker's fur collar were put separately from the bag. So I looked for real pics on AliExpress and nope, no signs of belt there as well.

Alternative face here. In general Pogo's yellow color is pretty dim.

Though they did side prints and cowl mold is pretty accurate.

Lego version had "Batman" cape, while Pogo has just usual cape.

Accessories. Again Pogo print is more dim.

So this minifigure has visible differences. Intensity of yellow color is noticeably lower on Pogo, cape is incorrect and utility belt is absent. Though mold of cowl is correct, I guess it's one of the worst replicas by far to my opinion.

71020-13: Wonder Twin (Jayna) vs PG1201(414)

Pogo's face is printed higher, besides it really looks if they draw templates be themselves, based on Lego, but not totally duplicatiing it.

Issues with yellow color again.

Absense of dual molded arms on Pogo minifigs isn't that noticeable if one of colors is dark. And ears. To to be fair both Lego and Pogo ear colors do not match their head colors. Lego has darker tone, while Pogo has lighter tone.

Cloth quality is okay, no dual molded legs here. It's not visible well here, but Pogo has incorrect back print here.

As you can see, Pogo colors are not that bright, also vinyl record has misaligned print and white color instead of gray.

71020-14: Wonder Twin (Zan) vs PG1200(413)

Zan looks similar to Jayna, though his torso print is a little different. Again yellow color issue.

Not very good ears coloring (both Lego and Pogo), no dual molds on Pogo.

Zan has correct back print. So Pogo used same back print for both Zan and Jayna.

And accessorie bucket with face (as Zan can transform in any water object). Milky version of Pogo and slightly different face.

Like the last time, most of the minifigures (except Batmom maybe) are of pretty good quality, especially when there are no originals nearby to compare. Pogo does a lot of work to duplicate Lego figs and they are progressing.
