When the news of Kobe Bryant minifigures commemorative book was first reported, the reaction among the China clone brick fans were in two extreme. Some viewed it as a tribute to the NBA Lakers legend, while another camp deem it shameless money grabbing exercise by China clone makers. There were three makers, Sembo, XS and PRCK. Today we are taking a look at offerings from PRCK, who is a sub brand of LELE. The photos are courtesy of CK.

OPEN Box of PRCK 69957

The box came in black, with logo of Black Mamba and photos of Kobe. The artwork is fit for the Lakers legend.

Details of the contents moved to the back of the box, with brick count of 2229 pieces and details of the brick book. You may order the book from Aliexpress.

We like the way PRCK printed Black Mamba logo across two inner boxes.

Summary of Kobe Bryant Book

The quality of minifigure is good but not great. Don’t expect great level of quality from LELE. The book target audiences are fans of Kobe Bryant who wanted the legend in LEGO minifigure form in various jersey. If you feel the book is a rip off then don’t get it.
