>>11591586Doesn't surprise me that everyone would use the same bricks, at least they're generally good quality across the board that way. What differentiates the brands are style and minifigure design, with many brands moving to their own designs after TLG got in bed with the Chicom overlords to crack down on the biggest imitators like Enlighten. Of the brands I can identify in the chart:
>SemboHave adopted a minifig variant that converts shoulder joints to a balljoint for greater range of movement, about the only change from the original; style-wise I've only had a few of their sets across several years and mostly military, though they had an interesting "Black Gold" line years ago that was basically hi-tech mercenaries; the last couple sets I can remember were quite sticker-heavy
>SlubanThey've been consistent with their proprietary minifig design from the beginning that I know of, with the distinctive head on "neck&spine" that goes through the torso and joins with the hips and legs; they've gone back and forth with stickers and decals but next to no printed pieces, across many themes both civilian and otherwise (have collected a great many of their military sets, modern and WW2); they tend to do both high accuracy or somewhat simplified versions of real-life vehicles - their current military waves have sets of both trends
>KaziThink they're still using the Lego minifig design or a close variant of it, have mostly had military sets from them as well and they've been reasonably accurate reproductions but at smaller scales than some of the more hyper-detailed stuff out there
>QmanFormerly Enlighten, they've done some fun lines like Thunder Mission (desert warfare), a jungle-themed law enforcement versus poacher mercenaries line and that one sci-fi series an anon years ago had collected all the sets from and a Dunkirk-themed WW2 wave; their minifig design is radically different from the TLG original, having adopted a chibi-esque oversized head (pic related)
