To me: it depends. If there's minifigs of Anakin or Obi-wan, you'd better off looking at clone army custom. But some of the designs here are legit fantastic and i would not mind buying again. People may have problem with them not using official bricks, but that's the common theme for these custom figs anyway. Sure they're 30 dollars a piece but if they look good and genuinely feel good, I'd not mind paying some extra bucks
ALSO! they are starting to print on official parts now. (For certain desirable figs) I don't think they are too bad. I feel like alot of people have their place in the community, and calypso definitely has their own place. Nice figs, not the best, but definitely not the worst. They are actually pretty cool guys to talk to aswell.
Oh yeah, they definitely have their place. They have some designs that I want, like I said. I just wish the non-lego ones were more appropriately priced.
@@OntheBrickthey need to make it clear which ones are fake, I’m putting off buying for now as I don’t want to have knock offs, it’s honestly a bad situation 😢
You always do a great job of looking at situations from all aspects and I really respect that a lot! Very honest and legitimate I know I can always count on your videos to be based on facts and real observations! Great video!
I was debating between the CC NCR ranger or the BrickTactical one… but the pricing was the dealbreaker for me. I would rather pay $30 for a custom print on genuin lego than a (imo) better design, but on a non lego body. If I was printed on genuine lego… I think I would prefer CC’s NCR ranger. Still gonna replace the helmet tho
If i bought from any 3rd party, I wouldnt care too much about designs of figs that r already copies from the people who actually have the license. If they want to make spacewars figs then cool, but i wouldnt be upset that another person came along and made roughly the same thing for their line of starfights😄. And when it comes to minifigs, I want it on real lego. The cheap figs can be quite cheap
Yeah they do say non LEGO integrated with LEGO , but then it turns out the figures are like 99% non-LEGO. It is not at all straight forward on the website. And for the prices charged one would expect higher quality LEGO stuff with only the non LEGO elements being custom heads, blasters, etc.
They can charge whatever they want unless they market it as actual Lego pieces. Heck Lego can charge a large amount for the new Ms Marvel spaceship set when the piece to price ratio is way off. But its up to us not to buy from them. Simple.
Tbh I would never buy from either of these. If I wanted a knock off I'd just buy them for far cheaper on ebay. They actual feel and look is just totally off for me. Personally I just stick to cac and av for my custom Minifigures then another I hand make.
I'm glad you make videos like this because buying from individual sellers has always been really nerve wracking and before your channel video guides like this just didn't exist, at least in this quantity and quality.

Knockoff normal heads is a no go for me personally.
Honestly, I would buy a figure from them that has a unofficial head that I could then use as a replacement head on a official Lego Mini-Figure.

“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
I have a question! Is the body and legs also non lego pieces from these guys?
From my experience, yes
Who was the rude person? I want to know so I can avoid
Second company he's talking about is The Minifig Co.
Where can I get a decent Darth Nihilus mini?
Jonak toys
Have not bought any of them
como puedo ver el catalogo un saludo desde España
Do you think I should buy from calypso customs? I’m really wanting the Mario figures and they are the only one I can find that makes them.
Great video and commentary
Thanks!
I like some of his figures but the tactics are...salty...
Am I the only one thinks bigkidbrix is a little weird
Nope
I wonder if any these people are paying licencing fees to Lucasfilm.....
Exactly
Idk why people judge based off of who you buy from like mind your own business...

Thanks shiny! Also, unrelated to anything. I'm currently playing Pokémon.
@@OntheBrick Eyy thats cool. Which one are you playing and how are you enjoying it?
Fire red! It was actually the first Pokémon game I ever played, and it's fun. Om currently trying to catch Zapdos
@@OntheBrick that's great to hear. Obviously we can all agree Bulbasaur is the best gen 1 starter ;)
Is it safe to purchase a minifigure from calypso customs?
Yeah
can you review davyum?
Never heard of them before but sure
@@OntheBrick Thanks! They are pretty sketchy and I wanted to make sure nobody buys from them
If possible, can you send me a link or hoe to find them?
@@OntheBrick i sent it on discord to you
best to watch this in 1.5x speed
Could you do another review on swfanatics they have been scamming people left and right even though they had quite a good reputation
I do plan to do so, yes
I ordered from swfanatics almost a month ago and I still have not received my order.
I don’t particularly prefer their prints...
yeah, most their facial expressions are poorly designed.. but a lot of the body prints are good for the most part
Whatever.
this is soo werid
