Four Horsemen/Mythic LegionsLegionscon Weekend has officially started!>Thursday is Intern for a Day >Friday is the Gcon reveals 10am-3pm with preorder for next wave launching at 5pm>Sat/Sunday is the show itself, featuring Coliseum Armory Experience, Crossroads Figures and Legacy of Mythos wave 2. >There will also be live demos of new Mythic Legions TTRPG>Jersey Devil Orders have all shipped out>Cosmic Head/Character packs all shipped out>Rising Sons, Oxkrewe book 2 and 2025 Retailer wave all expected to ship out by end of yearSavage Crucible>Wave 4 Pre-orders up at official site, early bird pricing until 12/6Bossfight>Pre-Orders for 6" Conan and Belit: Queen of the Black Coast up for Pre-Order now. So the biggest Four Horsemen event of the year happens this weekend, with things technically already happening today. Tomorrow is the event most people should be excited about as they'll reveal the next wave of figures in Mythic Legions, and from the posts on Instagram, it looks like we'll be leaving the land of Mythos and heading to the high seas. We'll also be getting more information about the upcoming TTRPG as they'll have playable demos and even some live streamed previews of the game at the event itself. If you can't attend and want to get your hands on some of the figures released at the convention, they always have a stock specifically planned that goes up for sale early after the holidays (minus some specific exclusive parts), there will also be a selection of "Pre-Built" armory figures sold on their store. It should be an excited weekend and I'll try to update the thread with pics of the new wave when they're revealed (though seriously, that's stupid early to be showing off new stuff). And remember, Don't Feed the Troll.Previous Thread >>11603522
>>11617521Too bad he took down the meta thread
>>11617524Too bad you don't know when to shut up.
>>11617596Try not to ban evade this time. You clearly need a long break.
>>11617602There's absolutely something wrong with you. Is this a bot? Nobody talks like this.
>>11617524>there are subjectdefenders here
>>11617521>If you can't attend and want to get your hands on some of the figures released at the convention, they always have a stock specifically planned that goes up for sale early after the holidays (minus some specific exclusive parts)They previously put the con exclusive versions up on Legionshop but that place has been decommissioned now. Last year's two pack with the bonus parts ended up on BBTS for a slightly premium. Not sure if it will happen this year, but I really do want a con exclusive version of at least Scaphoid and the male Crossroads figure, so hopefully they end up somewhere that is easy for us filthy foreigners to get it.Here are pics of The Crossroads figures with the exclusive parts circled.
>>11617671And here are the next two Legacies of Mythoss figures that will be released at the con with the con exclusive parts highlighted.
>>11617521>it looks like we'll be leaving the land of Mythos and heading to the high seasAnd honestly, if this rumor pans out (which seems likely) I'm probably not going to be going too deep for this wave. I'm sure I'll be tempted, but I'm going to try to keep it to figures that fit well with what I've already got.Now watch them announce a Captain Barbosa-like skeleton pirate and crew which makes me decide to go balls deep on the whole wave.
>>11617671>>11617672>Nearly every cool part is exclusiveWhat the fuck?
>>11617680Yeah, I'm not impressed. I want to make Scaphoid's followers, and two of the heads are locked to two of the exclusives. We finally get a rerelease of the Queen Urkzaa head and it's an exclusive. The Valgard exclusive parts are especially egregious because they are to make his own legion of knights, so expect people to army build it.I would prefer if they just gave the exclusives a fancy box for the con, but gave everyone a chance to get all of the parts. It's like a giant fuck you to anyone that can't get to New Jersey at this time of the year.
>>11617671I'm pretty sure Storehorsemen also had the exclusive sets, but they were always sold as two packs and went for the same price BBTS listed them as. BBTS still has the previous year's two pack for sale, but it's $130. which is about $50 more then just buying the two non-exclusive versions individually. >>11617675I don't know if they'll do an entire skeleton crew, but I can absolutely see them using the Jacob Marley parts to make a skeleton pirate captain. >>11617680The figures do work well without said parts, but I guess they felt they had to make the exclusive pieces actually desirable so people actually *want* to buy them. >>11617686If the one of the two green heads from the Crossroad figures wasn't exclusive, I would've been able to excuse that trick. But seeing as that angry zombie head *is* an exclusive, it kind of makes it harder for those who want to build an army for Scaphoid. Valgard is the one that really bothers me though, as he's 75% of the way to being a two pack with all those extras....and I already own the other 25% of the parts needed to finish off that second gold knight. It is stupid that he's his own army builder though, especially since it's *only* the exclusive version that can serve as that army builder. On one hand, I get why they do things this way, as they do want as many people as possible to get the base figure and all the "exclusives" are just extra. But at the same time...a lot of those extras are nicer and more unique then the base figure and it sucks it's so much harder to track them down unless you're at the show. It's a very damned if you do, damned if you don't situation they make for themselves.
>>11617701>I don't know if they'll do an entire skeleton crewI meant more like one or two crewmember figures that have optional parts to make several unique crewmembers. I'm not expecting half the wave to be ghost pirates, or pirate ghosts.https://youtu.be/pgipfCtNAGw>It is stupid that he's his own army builder though, especially since it's *only* the exclusive version that can serve as that army builder.That's the part that really rustles my jimmies. Locking an army builder to an exclusive made in lower quantities. If they gave him a semi unique head like a repainted Sir Enoch and a fancy cloak to make Valgard's 2IC and made those parts exclusive, I'd almost forgive them. I can almost forgive them for keeping the green Turpiculi parts exclusive since you can still make Scaphoid's regular skeletal followers from the normal green skull. Almost, but not quite, because I really want those parts.And now that I think about it, I wish the zombie heads were swapped between the two Crossroads packs and the one missing a tooth was the less common exclusive head since it is more unique. I hated having so many skeletons missing the same tooth prior to the Necro wave.
welcome to another mythics thread I'm your host Jeremy
>>11617671I like the dark and gritty design and I'd like to buy like three of the guy, but they are so loaded with accessories, optional parts and exclusivity price markups that they'll be prohibitive, especially for non-Americans.I wish they eventually make other figures with similar vibes to this mini-wave that are more convenient to buy.
>>11617786My plan is to buy one each of the Legionscon version of Scaphoid and both Crossroads figures for the exclusive heads hopefully from BBTS, and then I will buy a couple more when the non-exclusive version appears on Store Horsemen after the new year. I only need one of the each of the exclusive heads not counting the zombie which I would gladly get a few of if it wasnt going to be prohibitively expensive. Don't know how many I will get in total, but I would like around 4-5 of the male knight and Scaphoid. I will probably only get one extra of the female, and if I can't army build Valiant Guards, there is absolutely no point in wasting my time on the exclusive version of Valgard.I can't remember how much international shipping was last time I bought from Store Horsemen, but it wasn't as obnoxiously unaffordable as it used to be unless you are buying larger figures like deluxe, ogres or horses. Sometimes they cause the shipping calculator to go fucking spastic.
>>11617701>which is about $50 more then just buying the two non-exclusive versions individually.depressingly even with shipping it's cheaper than going to the con. I get their is more than the figures their but it's frustrating how these fun sets are set up where it's either pay hundreds and wait in a line for them or hope some 3rd party gets them and it can still be cheaper than the con itself.
Anyone know what time the reveal stream is happening?
>>1161784810am est, so on about 2 hours and 40ish minutes.
>>11617848Forgot the link.https://www.youtube.com/live/Il7kSrzAxac
>>11617870>>11617874Thank you!
Where can I buy the most generic nameless silver and gold-trimmed plate armor knight figure for a cheaper price?
>>11617848For added reference on the duration of the show>The show begins at 10am EST and runs until 3pm EST.Last year it started with the wave reveal, then included a bunch of talk about the book and other random info, the collaboration sub-line, the character remake sub-line, then the large dragon.

>>11618148>>11618093>>11618306These are all quite fun. The Walrus and Ray as well but they're not speaking to me quite as much.
>>11617917Your best bet is either Otho or Sir Elijah with their soft goods removed, really depends on how dark you want your silver. Though if you wait until the new year, the 4H's TTRPG Kickstarter will feature some new figures that will generally be cheaper then current fully stocked figures that may work for you.>>11617996I'm sure there's like...a handful of people in that room who care.
>>11618003....and here I thought I was done with Templars. Honestly, I mostly just want her for the red axe as I have a figure I'm building I'd love to use that on, but overall I'm glad they're doing a new 2.0 female knight build. Hopefully a v2 of Gwendolynne isn't too far off. >>11618029>>11618014This guy really needs more gear if he's going to be his own army builder. Also, I hate the 4H's animal companions. Articulate em or don't include em. >>11618075The new parts are nice, but as the sole *actual* pirate in the wave, he's kind of disappointing. >>11618090...I'm a sucker for Siren and Lamia types. And extra legs are always nice to have! >>11618101Damn, they done made Brad Pitt from that one movie. I kind of dislike two "slots" in this wave are taken up by Legacy characters...but at the same time I kinda want to buy both of em. >>11618116I guess this guy officially replaces Turmagar as the coolest Walrus based action figure to exist. >>11618129You know something has jumped the shark when they bust out the giant crabs. He honestly does look awesome....but I don't know if I literally have the space for a giant crab in my collection. Him and that Mondo Clawful will just have to snip it out to earn a spot on my shelf. First crab out of the bucket wins!>>11618306This is a way better use of the "Infinite Legions" concept then the Glyos figure. I don't even care about celebrity D&D, but I am always down for cool giant dragon folk. Considering I have three of the in house 4H giant dragonman, this guy will be a nice change of pace, even if he does end up being smaller then them. Also, not shown but worth a mention, the retail red version of the TTRG Paladin figure actually looks real nice, and I think I would rather grab a few of them over one of the SDCC Black and gold ones.
>>11618066Yo, they're up now.https://www.sourcehorsemen.com/mythic-legions/dawns-of-discovery
>>11618306I want to suck his dick
>>11618304>>11618306I had to look up what this is from. So 4H are technically doing DnD shit now? That's impressive.
>>11618304so who is joe manganiello?
>>11618356>I kind of dislike two "slots" in this wave are taken up by Legacy charactersI was worried when Vitus got revealed because I thought a V2 Grysha might also be in the wave to go with the Arabian Knight. I'm fine with 1-2 per wave if it means we get them for $42 instead of the $55 they charged for the first 2 Legacies figures.>Him and that Mondo Clawful will just have to snip it out to earn a spot on my shelf.I nearly went in on Clawful, but with all of the additional costs on top of his price bringing him close to $200, I couldn't justify it. My brain kept screaming at me "you think you are going to give Fukno $200? FUKNO!"
>>11618496The actor that played the werewolf in True Blood and Deathstroke in the DCEU, among other things.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_ManganielloThis is the character he voiced in the web series Critical Role.
Not very excited for this wave.I don't want to go deep (heh) into a very specific biome buying representative figures of various seafolk and a pirate; I already ordered some Savage Crucible fish guys and that's enough for a random skirmish against surface dwellers. I'm interested in the giant crab as a stage boss, but the final local price may discourage me once I check it.I'm likely getting Delphina, but that's partially because I'm a templar-fag and a waifu-fag. I like the soft goods and some of the additional details compared to the first, but I'm not a fan of the oversized ornaments.
>>11618113>>11618116Neat.
>>11618531I don't see savage crucible making anything cool
>>11618712He's talking about the Savage Crucible fish guys from the Kickstarter that are up for preorder on BBTS.

>>11618157This guy looks like he’d be a good bruiser to fight Doc Noc from Mezco. He loos like he’d be an enforcer for their crab guy.
Surprise
>>11619003Based Thoth chad
>>11619003I hope that's not the next FO figure they were making a big deal over. I mean, it's a cool looking figure and nice addition to the previous Egyptian gods, but it's certainly not something we "aren't ready for". >>11619007Neat, it sucks he's some sort of limited run exclusive seeing as he's a major character in the story arc and probably one of the better figures for the wave.
>>11619021I don’t think it would technically be the next one, I mean shouldn’t the next one be the Christmas one?
>>11619025The whole point of Figura Obscura was to be an "Unknown Figure" line, so the 4H are kind of getting burnt out now that everybody is making predictions and have expectations of what should be made. At the Gcon panel, they kind of made a big deal of people "expecting" the next figure to be Christmas figure and to paraphrase their words "You won't be ready for it" implying it was something entirely off the wall. Though it turns out the "won't be ready" comments just meant timing because this guys is available at the Con itself right now.

>>11619052https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjveT6ejB3sDorklair review, apparently he got it early and just sat on releasing the video until after people got it in hand. People can buy it from the 4H booth now with an online release in the near future.
>>11619007Is this the Fishman equivalent of the same they released at the con last year?
>>11619226>same*snake
>>11619226>>11619228yes and the boney guy before that. It'll be up next year likely with the armory guys too.
4horsemen don't have the balls to make a Dogu alien
>>11619242Oh yeah, I forgot the Skellie LB2 was released like that too. I just wish they would have more stock allocated for the store for these kinds of releases instead of only having it be limited and then saving the rest for their con appearances. I missed the Ninian Infantry because my card fucked up. I know another anon missed the skellie. Now watch as this fish guy is easy to get when I don't really want to army build him but would still buy 4 sneks.
>>11619263I'm really hoping this fish guy isn't in short supply because honestly, the wave feels incomplete without him. He literally makes the whole "Fishman Crew" feel complete, as without him it's missing something. With the Skeleton and the Snake, they were generic troop builders and easily skipped, but this guy is the literal PoV character from their big introduction to the whole wave and a major character in the narrative, as well as being the "normal" guy on the team. He better be one of them perpetually in stock figures because this wave kind of needs him. ..............also, now we need to find 1:12 ships for these guys.
>>11619472>With the Skeleton and the Snake, they were generic troop buildersEven more reason for them to have more stock available. They need to put the Legions back in Mythic Legions.>also, now we need to find 1:12 ships for these guys.When it became apparent that the wave was going to be pirate themed, I was sure a giant fuck off pirate ship crowdfund was going to be announced to happen in the future.
>>11619496>They need to put the Legions back in Mythic Legions.Oh this I can not agree with enough. When the line started, they made it seem like cheap Legion Builder figures would be the backbone of the franchise. But now, we're lucky to even see a single wave of em a year, if at all. There is absolutely no reason each and every wave released shouldn't have at least one Legion Builder, and no full priced figures who are their own army builders do not count. Ibn Prosperaius is a perfect example of a figure who doesn't really need to be in this wave and should have been a cheaper army builder. The only "new" parts about him are the sword and the soft goods, but the figure undneath is all reuse. If it was just that base figure with the sword and maybe a spear, it would've been a *perfect* army builder for the evil Pirate crew and help flesh out their side of the conflict while going against the good guy fishmen. That said, the RPG figures are looking to be cheaper per purchase and more generic in build, so perhaps they're intended to be the new "army builder" figure. They're expected to be priced slightly higher then I'd prefer, but much cheaper then the standard figure. But that's no replacement for a full, solid wave of budget army builders, especially with the massive catalogue of new parts they've built up in the past few years.
>>11618077>>11618075This guy has a butterfly joint right? Are they also double jointed elbows? Is this the first time they've done that?
>>11619570Am I missing something, this is a butterfly right? Is it only on one side? I am confused.
>>11619570>>11619574They started putting butterfly joints, double elbows and knees and mid torso joints in certain figures going back to the wave they revealed at last year's Legionscon. It's generally referred to as their 3.0 bodies. IIRC, Not every new figure has these added joints, so far it's mostly the bare torsoed figures that have butterfly shoulders, including their Gnole and their giant wolfman, but many new figs have the double jointed arms and knees. It's really a case by case basis as to who gets one joints as there's no real "standard" for articulation anymore. Some parts just work better with more articulation then others so they cram it in where they can.
>>11619570>>11619574>>11619598>OHPLEASE SWEET BABY JESUS DOES HE HAVE FULLY ARTICULATED JOINTS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BABY JESUS ANSWER ME IMMEDIATELY OH GOD PLEAAAASE
>>11619648Yes, the pirate has butterfly shoulders and double elbows.I can't tell if he has double knees though, but looking at the right photo in >>11618075 it does seem that way.
>>11619648You added the sense of impatience, I was just asking for clarity.
>>11619472considering he is a unique character I don't think you will see the same appetite the last two had and everyone wants as many as they can get their hands on. >>11619496>They need to put the Legions back in Mythic LegionsI really hope both gender snake and siren bodies show up next year in new Reinforcements waves where it's just the basic body with minimal paints and gear. Perhaps the same with the zombie but I get that's much harder to go minimum on paint apps and still look good.
>>11619740>Perhaps the same with the zombie but I get that's much harder to go minimum on paint apps and still look good.I've always said a zombie Legion Builder would be shit because it needs decent paint apps, but considering the Graveyard Zombie with all the softgoods clothes was normal figure price, I would take one with absolutely nothing but the figure for LB price. No clothes. No accessories. Just a bare bones naked ass zombie in a loin cloth. Make it the same colour as the Necro zombie so we can use those heads and the AS6 head pack on it, and release a hands pack to go with it to help keep the figure cost down to LB prices.
>>11619007This guy looks great, definitely picking him up.>>11619003>Bird feetI wonder if we'll finally see a Mythic Legions version of the Gothitropolis birds using these
>>11619669I do not think he has double knees, the uppwe calf piece looks to be the same half cloth leg piece they're using on other figures with the cuffed boots. But the pants look like there's more then enough room for a really deep bend. Personally, I prefer a good single hinge over a double joint, it just looks cleaner and feels more natural while still maintaining a standard break down of parts. But it's still nice they're improving things where they can. >>11619740While I won't disagree with your point, I feel being such an important character to the crew would help counteract his lack of army building importance. Like, before he was revealed I had no interest in most of the fish people, but with him it feels like a fully solid team and the All-In is that much more tempting. Though I do wish the crab had *some* sort of clothing or gear to imply he's a crew member and not a lumbering monster. But I guess I can make a few giant belts myself. And yes, Snake People and Zombie need army builders. But more importantly, the Gnole needs an army builder. I hate when they add a "whole new race" and it ends up being a single figure in the line. >>11619754It's not that Legion Builders got no paint, it's that they had *limited* paint. All Legion Builders have some paint on em, it's just limited to one or two colors, and a good wash is all you need for that Zombie to pop. Just look at the Ashen one, who's solid grey with some highlights and a wash. If Shadow Orcs can get a two tone skin color, the zombie body can get the details needed to make it look excellent. >>11619774Eathyron 2.0 is coming so an avian buck is being planned. Whether that includes updated versions of the Ravens is the questionable part.
>>11619830>It's not that Legion Builders got no paint, it's that they had *limited* paintI never said they get no paint. My point was that the Graveyard Zombie was regular figure price with all those soft goods clothes, painted accessories, and extra heads. And the clothes packs were about $20?Cool, ditvh the clothes, drop the extra painted heads, and even forgo any accessories if you really need to get costs down, and give me pic related in the same skin tone as the Necro wave Undead Builder as a $25 Legion Builder so I can use all of my spare Undead heads. Maybe give us a different zombie head on him since we already have that one in the Undead Builder colorway.And Legion Builders have never gotten weathered armor, so I don't want these rotted guys in shiny armor like the Shadow Orcs are. Also I don't need all of my zombies to be kitted up as knights, and a horde of these would look far more terrifying.
>>11620373Oh I agree that bare skinned zombies would be the best way to go, but they could do a solid skin tone with a simple wash like they did with the Skeleton Legion Builder, who was sold at that lower price point. I was just pointing out how a bare skinned zombie with some basic gear could have a simple wash to make it's desiccated skin texture pop while still being in that Legion Builder price point. We want the same thing, I'm just explaining how it's not only possible, but has been done before.
>want to buy some armory knight parts>they were convention drops>no one is selling themGod fucking damn it.
>>11620453If you're after the Gladiator stuff, give it time the con just ended. But also they'll have six pre-builts, one for each race, up for sale on the store in the not too distant future.
>>11620453Armory Knights or Armory Gladiators?If Gladiators, what >>11620493 said.If you do mean the Knights, they were a year ago, so apart from the ones still on Store Horsemen, supply will be starting to dry up. Really, if you are after them, as much as I hate to recommend it, the Mythic Legions Cabal group on Facebook will probably be your best bet. Just keep in mind when you make a "wanted" post, you need to include a ballpark price you are willing to pay or your post will be deleted.And don't mention you are from 4chan. They don't like us.
>>11620501Fuck. Yeah I know about the Cabal but I didn't want to get invested in that shit. But, really, there is no other way I see of getting the armory knight head and armor parts that were con exclusive. Might have to just grin and bear it on this one.
>>11620501I think it's less how they feel with 4chan and something with either facebook or general concern because they are that way with reddit and even mentioning discords.
>>11620637Nothing. Their is no drama to be had outside of Facebook being Facebook.
>>11620637Anon is saying the fb group deletes mentions to any other groups such as reddit, discourse, etc, not just 4chan.
>>11620628>>11620637I've seen some members of that group shit talk 4chan specifically. It had something to do with Toybro, but I can't remember exactly what. We still have the reputation for being the Internet Hate Machine, so best to not mention it among the FB normies.Regardless, what >>11620669 says is true. They are very insular and don't even like you talking about any other Facebook groups unless it's one of the "accepted" groups that are a part of the clique.
why are we even making up all this weird shit? Unless your IP is suspicious as fuck they let anyone in, go talk to them right now.
>>11620699Eh, I've heard of plenty of people who applied and never got in. I myself made a brand new account specifically for the place, posted some personal Legions pics, answered all their questions and my application was outright ignored. I don't really want to talk crap about a place I haven't actually been to, but it's not as easy as just going to the group and just jumping right in.
So you guys think is Thoth taking the winter slot for figura obscura? I was really hoping to get this jolly bastard this year
>>11620821Nah, they specifically said they wanted to shake up the "expected" style FO fell into and Thoth was just an early surprise showing that this line isn't set to a specific schedule. Even the Jersey Devil didn't follow their previous "Halloween" release style as it was sold and shipped out in September. That said, I still feel confident they'll finish the Christmas Carol ghosts, but they might be asses about it and drop two of this year or something to help speed things along.
>>11620821no>>11620704You seem like an ill adjusted schizo. Are you the type that takes anonymity very seriously? The mythic community is full of retards sure, but it's not like they're cliquey or hard to get in their group...especially if you collect the line.
>>11620993....wow, super sensitive there chap, especially since I didn't even say anything bad about the Cabal itself. I made a new facebook account to join up there since I don't use facebook. It has nothing to do with anonymity, I just loathe the platform as a place of discussion. But I applied, and made multiple attempts, did not get in, and have been relaying that fact to people who inquire about getting into the cabal as a possible and not all too uncommon outcome. But since you're so open, why not share your facebook account here so we can see your "well adjusted" pics of Legions and such.
>>11621036>....wow, super sensitive there chapHe's probably from the facebook group and is making note of your posting style so he can further block you or anyone who posts like you.Another reason you might be let in is if you don't have enough of the newer figures. Shills gonna shill and purity tests are a thing.Given that they're even anal about who they let into the group, it's probably a shitty place anyway, hence various members from over there posting here nistead of there.
>>11620993He's an ill adjusted schizo because he waited for moderator approval to join and never got it?Fuck man, I've seen hundreds of posts there over the years where someone is complaining that their wife/relative/friend is trying to join the group but they've been in limbo waiting for mod approval forever. It's a fucking common occurrence.>>11621036I'm not 100% sure what the process is, but if you still want to join, maybe try sending a mod a message. Your account might have just been ignored for being a potential spam account if your FB account was new when you tried to join.
>>11621049>don't have enough of the newer figures.I don't have to worry about that, I don't think they've put out a wave where I didn't grab at least two figures. Still trying to narrow the current one down to four, but at this point it depends on how easy the Goldfish is to get. I've been singing this line's praises since I got that first figure back in 2015...within reason...so I have no problem fitting in with other "shills" who love the line. >>11621069I'm sure if I tried and sent someone a message or something I would've gotten in a long while back but the thing is...I don't really care. Again, I don't want to disparage the group as I've never experienced the place first hand, but the very fact that it's Facebook makes me want to avoid it like the plague. Not even based on the people who use it or the company that runs it, but on the very nature of the site itself.I've always loathed facebook, even before it was common knowledge that it's just a place to farm and sell your info to corps and governments, Facebook is just *not* a good place for long form discussions. Organizing events, catching up with friends, promoting yourself, your business or your community? Yea, sure, Facebook is good at that. Having a big group discussion about a specific aspect of a niche toyline that spans weeks if not months? Yea, that don't work that well there. To this day, I miss the old, crappy, barely moderated 4H forums.
>>11621238>don't have enough of the newer figuresDon't engage. You should be able to figure out who it is.>the thing is...I don't really careThat's fair, I was just giving you a heads up on a solution if you were still interested. The BST aspect is the main draw because prices aren't quite as assrapey as ebay. What you say about the lack of long form discussion is spot on.>but the very fact that it's Facebook makes me want to avoid it like the plagueI kind of regret signing up for FB at all. I only just recently made an insta account to follow someone that barely posts anywhere else anymore because I figured Meta already have my data, and I already hate it.
>>11621264Oh just to be clear, I appreciate the advice on how to get in, it's just not something I'm willing to put the effort into. I do have an Insta as well, but it's a burner email and I just use it to keep track of the 4H and a few other toy companies as that's the best place to get news. Speaking of news, Frazetta Girls Necron will be going up for Pre-Order at the end of the week. Not sure of the price, but I'm sure it'll be up there because I think he comes with a throne. But if you're looking for a good villain to harass the rest of your growing barbarian hordes, you can't get much better then Necron. Dude is about as classic 80s sword and sand evil as you can get.
>>11621274Beat me to it.
>>11621309Speaking of beating...
>>11621274>>11621309Neat. The only problem is if I buy this, then the fact that I skipped Teegra is going to give me a major case of the fomos. >>11621482>What's worn under an Ice Lord's kilt?>NOTHING'S WORN, IT'S ALL IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER!!!
The Savage Crucible Varnoks Unchained exclusive will be going up for an in stock sale on their website in early December.
>>11622094>early December*Correction: later in December.And the latest Elric of Melniboné factory sample. To those of you worried about the hair/fleshtone contrast, it looks like this will be it. At least you have the helmet option.They said there was a minor delay with the softgoods cape, but he should be shipping from the factory by the end of Q4 of this year. No word yet on if Death Dealer will be shipping from the factory then as well, or if he has been delayed slightly.
>>11622101It could be the lighting, but his hair looks much lighter in this pic.
>>11622101>>11622102I know some of you aren't thrilled with how he's looking, but I am envious of you guys who've getting himIn other news, this Vtoys Dark Souls looking guys is shaping up pretty nicely for you knight-bros. These Vtoys figures look pretty impressive, just none of them have really been a theme/style that has grabbed me. This guy is damn cool however, I'm tempted.
>>11622154Oh also seems like predorders are going up for him today or the next couple of days supposedly, looks like it will be around $68-$70ish.
>>11622194Well nvm then he's on 5k for $100. Weird, will see what other places list him for, because he is supposed to be 498 rmb. Oh well.
>>11622154>I know some of you aren't thrilled with how he's looking, but I am envious of you guys who've getting himAt least this way I can get rid of some excess white paint probably, so there's that.
Zhenmu's Whispering Room/House arrival.
>>11622610I don't think I'll arrange it until the weekend, but I just checked the seat. The seating height is 3,5cm. It should work with strict 1/12 figures (SW Black Series pictured).
>>11622612It can work as a larger chair in 1/18.
>>11622155>>11622154>Dark Souls looking guysI strongly suspect this guy is inspired by The Penetrator boss from the original Demon's Souls. Similar unicorn horn, sword guard and helmet tassle.>>11622157With some Artorias coming in with the pose.
Just dropping this for anyone interested in the Legendary Barbarian or Jersey Devil. I wouldn't be surprised if more figures sneak into the shop that day as well, though I wouldn't expect any of the Con exclusives just yet. Also I find it both absurd and infuriating that they haven't posted more about the RPG figure they teased last friday. He was probably one of the coolest reveals, not just as a figure but as a concept with how they plan to sell em. So it'd be real nice if they hyped up that little side project just a bit more so people will be more excited for it when the KS rolls around. Guess I gotta go trawl the stream and get some screen caps or something.
>>11622612>>11622615The table is too small for 1/12, though, with no real clearance for even a womanlet's legs unless you fake it. Table surface is at 5.7cm.Other pieces of furniture should work well with a variety of scales.
>>11622610>>11622612>>11622615>>11622993Thanks for the pics and write up, I have this sitting in my HLJ locker and I'm just waiting for some other items to come in stock before shipping it. Knowing the walls work with Legions is reassuring, but I fully expected the furniture to be woefully undersized for them. I'm sure this stuff will work great with most JP lines though, as they're always slightly smaller skewed 1:12 stuff.
>>11622610>>11622612>>11622993Thanks. It's about what I expected size wise. Just like the other anon, I still have this in my PW at HLJ. I'm not sure what I will display in it, but I've got plenty of Jap figures that will fit.>>11622991I was pretty keen on the Barb when it first released, but I'm feeling a bit ambivalent now. We've got two versions of Frazetta Girls Conan, Heroic Signatures Battle of Blackstone Conan, and Boss Fight Reaver of the Black Coast Conan. Not to mention all of the Super7 Arnie Conan figures, FG Darkwolf and Norseman, and at least 5 barbarians from Savage Crucible (Who-man, Krieger the Shunned, Frazetta's Warrior, Varnoks Unchained and Kubla Khan) in addition to the Legionscon Armory Gladiators,and Attlus from the Riding Sons wave. Do I really need a generic not-quite-Conan barbarian figure? If I bought all these, my shelf would look more like a Chippendales show. >Guess I gotta go trawl the stream and get some screen caps or something.Please do. I checked out of the stream after the wave reveals, so the only thing I know about it is what you've mentioned here.
>>11623062Not exactly the best quality pic, but it's the best I can do on short notice. It's basically the same concept as the SDCC release where it's a more "Basic" Paladin that can "Class Change" into a Cleric with added gear. Only with the new figure, they don't have soft goods and instead the torso, waist armor and loin cloth are newly molded pieces. The idea being that the figures can be sold at a lower price point with less accessories (Paladin only comes with a sword and two faceplates iirc) and the "Upgrade" sets are sold on their own so you can customize your base figure. The *idea* sounds great, but it really relies on them actually putting out a variety of base figures AND lots of optional sets. If each character only gets one "class" upgrade set, then it's just a really lame concept. The Base figure also has a little cardboard standee (iirc) that can be used on the TTRPG, while you can use the larger figure for more "focused" encounters while playing. But again, don't really care about the RPG aspects, I'm just happy to get cheaper figures and individual gear sets. I don't even want the SDCC version anymore, as those red Paladins would be perfect troops for the Leodyssian army.
>>11623345>Not exactly the best quality picGood enough. I can see what we are talking about.And the Paladin is supposed to be slightly cheaper than a basic figure? Sold. I still want to see how much they flesh out the idea with the Upgrade Packs, because like you said, they need to have a decent range for this to work well, but it's good just to have more cheap army builders again.>I don't even want the SDCC version anymore, as those red Paladins would be perfect troops for the Leodyssian army.Same, but I might still grab one of the SDCC version for a cleric. Green works for the cleric, but his paladin set up isn't even on my mind since it won't really fit any army I've got going.
>>11620821Christmas Past was a let down so I hope this one comes out better, if not at least I have the retail green santa to fill in that spot.
>con exclusives are up on bbts >they want $80 each This seems way to steep
They ever going to make more 2.0 points? We're getting a lot of cool unique characters now but somehow every female character ends up coming out the same
>>11625310*2.0 partssorry I'm dumb
>>11625310The new Delphina is a new buck. Was described as a female Valiant Knight under the soft clothes. Nothing else for now.
Up for pre-order now, he's expensive though as he comes with a throne like that Anon suspected. £85/$110 (I think), pretty steep.
Back of throne. Also if you are interested and want to get him off Frazetta Girls themselves, remember the 15% off code and I believe they ship theirs with little basic foot stands like G.I. Joe now.
>>11625258It's a $20 mark up for the exclusives, but if you can live without the extra parts, they'll be releasing cheaper versions on the 4H site at some point in the not too distant future (probably january). Valgard is probably the only one worth the mark up though because all you need is a spare torso and biceps and you can literally build a whole second figure from his set. >>11625310>>11625311>>11625321They have two new 2.0 built figures coming in the Rising Sons wave, which should ship out to people before the end of the year. We'll be getting a male bugman assassin and a female dark elf with whole new builds.Also all the female FOs have been mostly new 2.0 parts, and just about every wave since Rising Sons has gotten a new 2.0 built figure. >>11625341>>11625345If there wasn't so much other stuff hitting right now, I'd have been more willing to jump on this. But for the price and his accessories, I might have to skip it. If I were a bigger fan of Fire and Ice I probably would be more tempted, but I'm more just a general fantasy collector so I've unfortunately never actually seen it and I doubt it'd have the same impact on me today then if I watched it as a kid. Though like what happened with Darkwolf, I'll most likely regret missing him. But the freaking 4H are relentless on their assault on my toy collecting budget.
>>11625258It's just the Legacies exclusives, right? I haven't missed the Crossroads ones, have I? >>11625398>Valgard is probably the only one worth the mark up thoughIf you consider that the bone wings from the Necro wave are $20 by themselves, and if the regular versions are $55 like the other Legacies figures, Scaphoid is almost worth it.That's what I'm telling myself hit the Add to Cart button.
>>11625420Yea, I'll totally agree with that rationale to try and help you feel less guilty about biting the bullet on this guy. And even with the upcharge it's still cheaper then having gone to the con itself to get him!>no one tell him about Zenithon
>>11625420BBTS Crossroads sold out the first hour.
>>11625442Zenithon deserved to be cheaper because he is kinda crap looking.>>11625466Damn. I guess I will have to cross my fingers that someone cancels their Revenant preorder or that BBTS receive more than the presold.Valgard has also sold out now.
>>11625478Zenithon is the price of a standard figure, which is decent considering what he comes with. I will say I don't like those colors on him, but that's more an issue with the original MotU character's design more then the homage figure itself. That said, I've seen swaps with his pieces that do look fantastic and I'm always tempted to grab him just to do those swaps myself.
>>11619002>>11619007Where do you even get this guy?
>>11618164>>11618379I dont collect Mythic Legions but I want to start because I love fish men and pirates. Are these only sold on the Store Horsemen site or will it go to other sites eventually? I couldnt find anything on other sites I use.
>>11626469Big Bad Toy Stores sell them. I think I also saw them on Arizona. I'm doing the /toy/ Secret Santa this year and the person I got asked for, among a long list of stuff, Mythic Legions. I saw that some of the accessories were on sale, like heads, weapons, etc. (and actually, other accessories from other franchises and toy manufacturer's on his list). I expected the anon to put "Mythic Legions Evil Zombie Pirate" or some specific thing he wanted, but apparently this guy will be happy with anything from this company - which makes sense since there's so much you can do with this line. So I got him one of those sale accessories pack, in addition to an actual TOY toy from another one of his 'asks' - I know for the crap I collect, I would have loved if someone sent me a package with six spare heads, or a package of like 20 spare hands, or weapons. For example, last summer I ended up having to track down some knock off weapons for a line I collect, which sucked as between paying extra shipping and not knowing if I would be stiffed or not. It was great, since I had lost the gun on a Bucky Cap Marvel Legends and one of these looks alright with him. >>11625258I noticed some other con exclusives (yeah, old 2022 era) for a model kit my guy wanted were at BBTS but highly discounted, so it's like anything else - wait for a sale and hope it's not out of stock?
>>11626467He was a surprise drop at the 4H's annual Convention a few weeks back, but they plan to sell a limited amount of stock of him on their own store sometime in the near future (most likely January, but possibly sooner). He's unfortunately a very limited run figure and when he does eventually go up for sale he'll most likely sell out quick (within an hour depending on purchase limits). Best thing to do if you really want him is to sign up to their newsletter or follow their Insta for updates as they'll announce exactly when he's going up for sale at least a week before it happens. >>11626469So right now these figures are up for direct Pre-Order from the 4H themselves. These are the lowest prices you'll be able to get them, but you will have to pay upfront and you *will* be waiting at least two years before they ship out. But buying them direct from the 4H is not only the cheapest option, but the most guaranteed way you'll be able to get them as their is no order limit on quantities, just a time limit to buy which ends at the end of December. After the 4H Pre-order window ends, their Retail Partners will put up their own Pre-Orders, BBTS being their most well know partner. Those pre-orders work however each retailer works (i.e. BBTS won't charge until they ship) but those pre-orders can potentially sell out. They'll also be marked up at least $10, if not more, per figure. And even with the retail partners, you will still be waiting just as long because the figures haven't even entered production yet. If you want to at least test out the line, there's many figures for sale right now on the 4H's store. No Pirates or Fishpeople though, but most figures will have similar builds and feel so you'll have an idea of the quality of figures you'd get before investing large sums of cash for two years before seeing a return.
>>11626493Thanks. The fish guy is amazing but I can be arsed to deal with that.
Big green dragon
>>11626481>wait for a sale and hope it's not out of stock?Good luck. That only works for shit that doesn't sell, like last year's Legionscon exclusive 2 pack. All of this year's con exclusives have pre-sold out within a day.I'm fucking praying I get lucky and someone cancels their preorder for The Revenant. At least I got Scaphoid.
>>11626611I'm not going to collect these. Two different heads, some weapons, and some hands were on sale. I bought one thing, for like $30, which fits the rule for Secret Santa but since I assumed he wanted/hoped for toys, I also got him something else (actually, I'm doing well, so I got him two things).You're right about one thing. Waiting for a sale can suck since you might lose out, that's happened to me. But I've also since learned that you DON'T fucking NEED a toy. You loose it for good reasons - like it being over-prices, you get over it.
>>11626469Waves like this are initially put for preorder exclusively at the 4H store for 1-2 months. Then they become available at other sites in the US and around the world at a markup price (which may be worth especially for non-US customers). Then the figures are released around 2 years later.
>>11626700>Then they become available at other sitesthey become available for preorder as well, if I wasn't clear, I realize.
>>11626611If you don't really care about the green head and evil faceplate, the mass release version of the figure should be way easier to grab. They generally make *way* more of the non-exclusive versions of these figures to the point that the releases from the previous two Legionscons are still available. Qoi will probably be the hardest figure to get from Legionscon considering how previous surprise drops have gone. Which is an absolute shame because he should have been a main wave release seeing as he's a figure that brings the whole Fishman crew together. The current wave is neat and all, but if the next Wave does it's own thing, the two crews will feel incredibly unfinished if this is all we get for them. Especially the evil Pirates who have absolutely no cohesion at all.
>>11626824>If you don't really care about the green head and evil faceplateUnfortunately I do care about them. I still plan on getting a couple of the standard release of him, but I really wanted both of those parts. Mainly the green zombie head.If I don't get the con version, I've got the head pack with that head sculpt in it, and I've got a tube of green Liquitex paint that I am pretty sure is the exact same shade used on Scaphoid. I'll just need to figured out what yellow to use.
>>11627041Ah, well sorry to hear that then but I know the feeling. I really needed that white Urkzaa head from the Nymph set and had to jump through a few hoops to make sure I got it. I plan to grab the Warrior when he goes up for general sale as I didn't really care much for the Zombie head, but I will admit I'll miss that faceplate because "evil humans" is a surprisingly rare thing in this line. I will say that without the extras the Warrior does feel like the better buy though, the extra parts make a far more unique looking figure then what you get in the Nymph set. I wish the Nymph had at least an extra torso like the Warrior, as a different body would've done wonders to change her look. There's also a ton of different torsos they could've used for her, namely any of the armored bra torsos that just never get used.
>>11627192Yeah, the evil human faceplate was also a draw, and if I don't get my hands on the con version I'm not sure if I will be able to replicate that. My painting skills are a bit rusty, but I am confident I can achieve a decent looking green zombie head. I can definitely recreate the Gorgo helmet, but that is a low priority. I do have a spare Sir Andrew face, but painting a fleshy face decently has always been my Achilles Heel. All I would have to do is paint the eyes red, give him some eye shadow, and remove/paint over his beard stubble. Easy in theory, but I know I will be unhappy with my results.
I miss you guys.
>>11618700>>11618116I don't know why Walrus Pirates are a thing but I love them and will be buying it
>>11627278Walrus pirates/sea captains go way back. I had this guy as a kid. Shit, I think I just talked myself into buying the walrus.
>>11626611BBTS usually has it go back to in-stock after the preorders are covered, the two packs from last year sold out in the same window to go back into being in stock mid December
>>11627636Cool, I didn't realise that last year's set sold out on preorder. My plan was to wait until they came into stock and hope that someone cancelled their preorder anyway, so this is at least slightly more reassuring that I should be able to grab one then. I will hold off from monoxiding myself in my car until then at least.
>>11627640Yes you are
>>11627640>it's okay sweetie>show us on this doll exactly where the bad toy store touched you
>>11627623I actually bought him last year or the year before last year on bricklink for some reason which is why I want it too. My only issue is I wish the mythic legions went full in on the captain outfif aesthetic but I dont think that would fit the rest of their line probably. He just needs a silly hat. They're more like tropical pirates which is still pretty cool. (I have no idea what the real lore is.)
So 4H have finally dropped some official pics of the RPG figure they teased at Legionscon. No new info other then confirmation the Kickstarter for it will start late feb. I will say it kinda sucks that as their "new" budget line these guys will cost almost as much as their original "deluxe" painted figures >>11628262Basic lore for this wave is the fishmen (and woman) and the crab dude are sailors from foreign lands and the Roman Soldier and Templar are emissaries on a mission to visit those lands for the first time. Dude in fancy robes is rich guy funding fishmen exploration boats, and can be his own troop builder without the robes. Bald dude, imp and Walrus are pirates looking to attack said ship.I agree a more traditional pirate would be cool to see. They have the parts from the Jacob Marley figure to easily bust out some classic looking pirates, but I feel they may be holding off as to not compete with a friendly company who is also putting out pirates that they actually sculpted the figures for. The fishmen are cool and all, but I honestly would've loved to see a pirate crew made up of previously used races like Orcs and Goblins or a Skeleton. They would've not only have fit right into the pre-existing lore real easy, but would've also fit into people's collections without issue. As of now, I just got my hands on the fishman Qoi and I have absolutely no idea where he should go. He's just gonna hang out with my snakemen until the rest of his crew lands in about two years.
>>11628797>I will say it kinda sucks that as their "new" budget line these guys will cost almost as much as their original "deluxe" painted figuresOn one hand the price is a bit sucky compared to the original Legion Builder concept. On the other hand, these have a deco almost as detailed as a basic figure for (hopefully) $12 less. And $15 for the Cleric upgrade pack is about what I was expecting since the price rises this year. The only thing they need to do is have a few more upgrade packs including a hand pack. Like they should have included one of the plate gorgets with the figure and left the chainmail coif parts for an upgrade pack. I guess they could include an extra face with a chainmail upgraded pack that includes the coif head and some other mail parts like the faulds/groin mail along with a few weapons, and include a plate gorget with a different helm like maybe both great helms with a selection of helm adornments.And speaking of different helms, whatever happened to the 1.0 resized version of the sugarloaf helm that they mentioned they had planned back after the second Kickstarter? We did get the resized Sallet helm in the last couple of years, but I only remembered we are still waiting on the bigger sugarloaf helm when I was comparing Delphina V2 to the original.
>>11628797I love that staff. That is gorgeous. The reds and golds look awesome too. Thankfully, nothing I need, but those look cool.
>>11628797I like this a lot
>>11628797>but I feel they may be holding off as to not compete with a friendly company who is also putting out pirates that they actually sculpted the figures for.What company is that? He Plunderer Orc dudes?
>>11628797>As of now, I just got my hands on the fishman Qoi and I have absolutely no idea where he should go.Put him with your forest dwelling factions. I always associate Koi ponds with the woods and nature.
Is the Koi roughly the same as (not) Conan and the Valiant knight released before? Not-Conan and Valiant knight were con/influencer exclusive for almost a year, then they just had random drops that sold out within hours. Not-Conan and Valiant Knight are the only two 4H figures that were legitimately pain in the ass to get
>>11629131It sucks so hard. I'm just a casual fan and a review of Qoi made me want to collect it again. My problem with Mythic Legions was always just that I preferred more cartoony or colorful fantasy than realistic. And come on it's an orange koi man it's like he was made for me. For a nautical theme it was so much more unique than anything else in the regular line. Or just nautical themes in general. Oh well.
>>11629138Well, there will be at least one more drop of Qoi in 2026, keep your eye on Fantasy thread or just subscribe to 4H mailing list.

>>11629226Better than a fucking pajeet/SEA monkey who can barely type a comprehensible sentence.
>>11629201>isn't this because legion fan boys keep asking for pirates?Yes, but no. It's not like 4H did these figures for this company just because Legions fanboys have asked for pirates. It's just like how we asked for Lizardman, and Harvinger Studios saw the demand and decided to fill a gap in the market with Savage Crucible. Unlike that instance, these guys decided to hire 4H, most likely because they had the idea to fill the pirate market but not the ability to 3d sculpt.
>>11628916They did mention they plan to do different types of head, weapon and accessory packs, not just the specific "Job Upgrade" ones. Seems like they're going for a more "ala-cart" experience with the RPG figures as they come with less stuff, but look better and you can then gear them up based on whatever sets you prefer. As for a 1.0 Sugarloaf, they'll design things and sit on them for YEARS. The initially sculpted that jaw bone club way back for the first Intern for a Day event and it was only in COSMIC Legion's FIFTH wave where they actually used. Now I don't know if they did make a 1.0 Sugarloaf, but they could easily sit on it for a long time for no real reason. >>11629118Was gonna drop him with my Snake-men, but I guess the forest group could use a fIshman friend for a while.>>11629131The Barbarian figure is what they called their "Touring" exclusive, a unique figure they initially only sold at any of the conventions they traveled to for the year. It's a much different release style from the Preview figures like the Valiant Knight and Ninian Infantry. Those guys were surprise reveals at Legionscon to build hype for upcoming waves and then had limited online releases later. The Barbarian has been around the whole year, you just had to go to one of the many events they were at to get it. I do agree it sucks they had such a limited number of em for the online release and that they didn't limit him to 1 per customer. It's not the best figure in the world, but it's been hyped for a whole year and not everyone can or wants to attend conventions. >>11629138He's surprisingly nice, I figured they'd just reuse the same snakeman body, but it's actually the newer Thraxxian Scout, with added neck and upper chest articulation. Even the pauldrons and belt are new pieces from the Rising Sons wave that haven't been used yet. My only issue with him is the knees they used, as the random metal poleyns just don't work on him.
>>11622154>>11622155>>11622156>>11622157Man the knight is also tempting me a lot, how is Vtoys when it comes to quality? I want to purchase this wolf and this Dark Souls mf might go with him. >>11622194Yeahh he's on the expensive side, that's why it's taking me some time to see if I get him or not. I better make the decision fast cause he'll be out of preorder in two weeks iirc.
>>11629767>They did mention they plan to do different types of head, weapon and accessory packsThis concept has actually got me more excited than the latest wave, and I have no intention of playing the game.>Now I don't know if they did make a 1.0 Sugarloaf, but they could easily sit on it for a long time for no real reason.They sat on the sallet helm for years, because I'm almost positive both were requested at the same time and they *said* they had it planned, but really they probably already had it tooled during the KS. They did the same with a bunch of goblin heads in that KS that didn't appear for years afterwards, like Swigg and the Deluxe Goblin LB. But enough sitting. It's been 7 years since we got the female sugarloaf and 3 years since we got the resized sallet in the Father Christmas FO. Really though, if they give us a new Templar Legion Builder from those new RPG figure parts and throw the resized sugarloaf in that, I will definitely forgive them.>it's actually the newer Thraxxian ScoutThat's a big fish. I was surprised by how tall the Thraxxian was compared to a skeleton. He's almost a full head taller.
>>11629800>That's a big fish. I was surprised by how tall the Thraxxian was compared to a skeleton. He's almost a full head taller.I didn't even realize that until you mentioned it, but standing him next to a Valiant Knight and even the Ninian Infantry, the fish is noticeably taller. Even with his relatively short head and a bit of a hunch in his neck joint, he looks like way more of a bruiser then I originally expected him to be. The crazy thing is that he didn't even need to be bigger, the snake body would've worked well enough for both him and the Thraxxians. But 4H gotta go and retool an entire new build just because they can.I'm sure they'll drop more fishmen at some point, I can't see them not reusing the new hands, feet and back fins, and the faceplate is removable so they don't even have to tool up an entirely new head. Though knowing them, they'll do just that anyway.
>>11618516>>11618496He also co-starred in the Pee Wee movie you can still catch on Netflix. He big on DnD
>>11622101>>11622102>>11622154Looks great to me. I don't mind the colors. The armor is what I'm least enthused about, but it's still a fine choice. Would be neat to see another take on Elric from them in the future, but it's already pretty niche so I don't expect it.
Buying two was definitely worth it.Joined them with simple grey papercard painted with a grey marker on top for unevenness. I cut slabs of it and put them onto a single strip long for the floor.With more care/testing, it can easily be made to look much better, I guess.
>>11622101>>11622102the skin color looks quite a bit better than the original painted prototype that was shownI agree with the other anon though, it's not my favorite incarnation of Elric (it's also not my least favorite though!) but I'm happy to be able to put him on the shelf next to my books
>>11630369glorious
>>11630369Very cool Anon, Mythic thread bros reigning supreme still.>>11629793I don't have any of them, but I've watched a few reviews of previous figures and they seem excellent. SpicyPsyDuck the twitter guy has started uploading review vids on YouTube and he recently covered their latest figure, so you can get a taste. https://youtu.be/jDqqNGEwPPs?si=rftqsd8rK4uOljQg
>>11630369Damn. That looks great. I'm regretting not buying a second one.
>black dwarf
>>11631370This guy? Yea, I'm excited for him too. People love the 4H Dwarves but honestly, I've never been impressed by em. But the new build looks way better and both him and the female dwarf look really nice. I'm worried they'll make all the older ones look worse by comparison. Might have to spread some of the parts around a bit to spruce up the old ones to match better with the new ones.
>>11631456>I'm worried they'll make all the older ones look worse by comparisonThat is pretty much expected. Most of the newer stuff from Arethyr wave onwards makes the older stuff made from parts from the first two Kickstarters look worse by comparison.
Does the waist armor from the Legendary Barbarian come in other colors with someone else? Maybe a gold to match the wrist pieces?
>>11632280That's the same piece on Magnus and Vorthogg from the Arethyr wave.Magnus is gold with silver chainmail.https://sourcehorsemen.com/mythic-legions/entry/magnusVorthogg is dirty silver with bronze chainmail.https://sourcehorsemen.com/mythic-legions/entry/vorthoggI'm sure a couple of other figures use it, but I can't think of them right now
>>11630513I'm more tempted to get the Moon Knight from Vtoys, but the blank body being covered by soft goods and then armor ticks me off. I'm afraid I'm going to mess up the costume beneath the armor and then I'd be unable to fix it.
>>11632349Ty, that helps a lot
