How to Make Your Own LEGO Minifigure Keychain

So I've been wanting a lego minifigure for quite some time now, but the problem is I can't find Lego minifigure keychains that I like. For example, I really want a Homer keychain but I can't find any in the market! So Presto I came up with the idea to make one on my own!!

here is a link to the video that I made showing you guys how you can make one!

You will need the following to make it!

-LEGO minifigure of your choice
-a keychain ring
-glue gun
-plastic glue
-solder*
-pointy metal
-patience

A look at LEGO bootlegs

Here are some photos of some bootlegs made by a company called Decool and SY
 You can see my cluttered base plate with various figures and sets!! some figures were made by decool and some come with the bela sets! they do a pretty good job in making these!

 You can see here donatello! this particular figure was made by SY. Their color scheme is worlds better than bela figures.
 This one is made by SY but the wing printing is kinda light...
 That's Lisa Simpson chilling in Donatello's laboratory!

This one is Shredder's Lair Rescue set! This set was a bootleg by bela.

I'll be posting reviews soon.. til then you can look at my youtube page at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC53QO6H26Worvp8eH-opI4g

I have detailed unboxings and reviews there! :)

Brickhead on a budget!

Now I wanna start this post off by saying that everyone should still purchase legit authentic merchandise whether buying toys, shoes, or what have you! 

Particularly a geeky hobby of interest in today's post are LEGOs!!!
If you've been collecting Legos for a while or planning on getting into them, you'd probably be surprised to find that the prices are way up there. Sets would probably cost you 10 dollars the cheapest and up to 500 dollars for the big ones!

If however you're in a budget there is still hope! There are replicas of these lego figures.
These sets would cost you more than 1/8th the price of the real thing! but the problem there is they're not really legal and they're basically stealing from lego and the licensed brands. 

whether it's morally acceptable or not to buy counterfeits is up to you to decide! these figures offer a good alternative in getting sets without the hurt in your pocket! 

good ripoff brands would include Decool, SY, and Bela for the sets...

more to come...
