Raven and Saturn Girl

New bootleg figures from Xinh. Raven's design appears to have been shipped from someone who posted it online. Saturn Girl is taken from the most recent Lego DC superheroes movies that had an appearance from the Legion of Super-Heroes. I don't pre-order any Xinh figures anymore as they have been doing horrible miss-mashes of using bad digital printing with supplemental pad print on the same figure. After I saw real photos posted of these, I decided to pull the trigger on AliExpress. As usual, I order 5+ of each just to make sure I can piece together a decent one after all the misprints, scratches and ratty capes. This time, I ordered 9 of each and let me tell you - I'm glad I did as there wasn't one perfect example and I had to 'Frankenstein' both these together from the best parts. In the end, these look pretty decent. Raven's cape has a velvety texture on the outside. The legs are printed on purple - same color of plastic as the hood. I would have preferred a slightly darker purple, but maybe when the Lego Dimensions figure comes out (expected to be a mighty micro, which I don't care for), I can see what pieces can make this better. Saturn Girl is pretty good. There are some lines that didn't make it into the print that should have been there and the Legion belt isn't gold metallic like TLG's Cosmic Boy and Lightning Lad, but it is a clean print. Interestingly, they used silver metallic print on the arms. I swapped in an authentic Lego blonde hairpiece here as the one that came with the figure had a greenish tint to it. I feel we'll get official version of each of these from Lego eventually, but until then, these make nice stand-ins.
