Why aren't Xesray as widely discussed here as you'd think? They're pretty affordable for what you're getting and compared to other brands. Huge amounts of paint as well. Is it because the promo images are sometimes off from the final product?
>>11822883I'd say it's got more to do with how few figures they release. Their release schedule even less frequently than 4H, and it's usually only 2 or 3 figures at a time. The first bunch of female warriors got posted a fair bit when they first released, and same with the minotaurs. A couple of anons have been posting their recent releases, and one was the OP image last thread.I don't own any, but I've been meaning to see if I can hunt down one of the minotaurs for a decent price, and I've got their big Killer Croc-esque reptile dude on preorder.
>>11822883It's as the other anon stated, Xesray just doesn't put out enough figures for there to be constant discussion about them. They also don't really hype them up the way other companies like Savage Crucible or Boss Fight do, though it's harder for them to hit the con circuit in the US being a chinese company. But their very slow trickle of releases makes it hard for them to be a brand that's constantly discussed, despite them putting out some fantastic figures.>>11821101I got the white one myself, now I need to go back and get that Albino Lizardman to go with him.
>>11822545The bones...
>>11822883I don't have any SC/Four Horsemen stuff, but I love more realistic stuff like XesRay. They're also affordable. I also prefer masked characters and they do that too.
Lads, I'm hurting bad. I only managed to procure twelve Elrics for re-selling.
>>11823973I hate reddit.
>>11823973Is this supposed to be funny?
>>11823973Why are scalpers able to get past the order limits? Do they not enforce that by IP address but just cookies or something?
>>11824323If it's like p bandai I just have 3 accounts.
>>11824323I would assume anyone serious about scalping has multiple accounts and addresses they can have stuff sent.
>>11824351doesn't seem like scalping would be worth owning multiple properties
>>11824371It was nice when I had 3. Downsized to just the one.
>>11823973>>11824347>>11824373fuck off
>>11823725Honestly, the 4H have put out some figures that are very much straight historical. Their Valiant Knight build is essentially an accurate recreation of a set of armor and their Viking character Halvard is one of the best looking representations of that era I've seen in figure form to date. Xesray's Roman stuff is certainly realistic, but they seem to be pushing more fantastical with their upcoming barbarians. >>11824323Or it's a pic taken from when the figures originally went up for open Pre-Order and a troll is just being a troll. >And remember, Don't Feed the Troll.C'mon people, it's in the OP!
>>11824382Hey I didn't scalp elric. Just Goku.
So 4H just announced one of their two upcoming SDCC Exclusive Premiere figures. the Cosmic Legions character Saint Demmyan of the Crusader Command. Looks like they're going kind of Space Knight with this guy, and I gotta admit, if all of Cosmic was like this I would've been a much bigger fan of the line. Almost feels Warhammer-esque in the build and gear and it's mix of Fantasy and Sci-fi aesthetics. And that hot rod red is just gorgeous. Still gonna pass on it myself since I'm pretty much done with Cosmic, but still a nice looking figure. I'm sure they'll do a Mythic Version of him or something as their other SDCC reveal, but I doubt that would come out as interesting. Would love to see a Mythic Knight in that candy red though, the Armory Knights had a dull colored red armor so one with shiny red like this would really pop.
>>11824394New cosmic are coming, I wouldn't be surprised to see some more of these "Crusaders". He does match the TU5CC Pilot, who is also a fantastically colored figure.
I love my fantasy figgies, anons, I am unreasonably excited for my Cyan Lion to arrive, please be free from issues. I'm also quite hyped to see the Savage Crucible reveal, really curious what it'll be.
Listen, I'm happy for everyone enjoying their Elric, but seeing him before i have received the Pirahnoids from the Kickstarter 3 years ago is grinding my gears.>look at the shipping timeline on our homepageIt says shipping Q2 2026. Q2 is nearly over. Where the fuck are my Deep Ones? I want my goddamned Fishmen.
>>11824541Yea, that's kinda crazy how it turned out. The whole reason SC split up their "Kickstarter" stuff into various waves was to help get their figures out faster and yet I feel the wait for the wave "3" figures has been my longest wait for a Kickstarter figure to date. I'm not worried since I know they're actually pumping out figures, and I can even understand repaint and reuse stuff like that barbarian dude or the various Lizard man drops. But a full on, brand new, entirely uniquely mold character figure dropping so fast and before the Wave 3 stuff is kind of crazy. I remember people were getting pissed at the 4H for having too many figures in the "pipeline", but they always seem to release their figures in order at least.
Why did Elric catch everyone's attention and get them to want to buy him? He seems like just another random knight character. When people first started going nuts about missing the preorder for it because it sold out in 1.2 seconds I thought they were talking about an Edward Elric figma or something. Is he really important in Savage Crucible's lore or something?
>>11824617random DARK knight character that is.
>>11824493Love the figure but I hate how long it took to come out. I need that crab but it's taking years!
>>11824617It's the first figure of a classic literary fantasy character who dates back to the 1960s from a seminal dark fantasy writer. This guy was a "u knoe" before most people parents were even alive. Savage Crucible already announced they'll be making more variations of him, as well as other characters from the writer and his universe of stories. It's cool any modern toy company is willing to look into such a niche corner of fiction to find popular characters to bring to toy form. He's also a really badass figure.
>>11824560>yet I feel the wait for the wave "3" figures has been my longest wait for a Kickstarter figure to dateIt will be at least 3 and a half years by the time we get them in our hands. People give 4H shit because it's two years between preorder and shipping for most big newly tooled waves these days, but the wait for these feels especially ridiculous. Those San Zero Deep Ones went from a sketch that was shown long after the SC Kickstarter (I think it was early-mid 2024) to actual release a little over 12 months later.>But a full on, brand new, entirely uniquely mold character figure dropping so fast and before the Wave 3 stuff is kind of crazy.That is the only thing that frustrates me. Like you said, the repaints and variations with a new head that was likely tooled with that wave are fine. I'm not mad about Varnoks Unchained or the new wolfman. But an entirely new build of figure with completely new molds before the figures I paid for 3+ years ago feels egregious.>I remember people were getting pissed at the 4H for having too many figures in the "pipeline", but they always seem to release their figures in order at least.They have shuffled the order of things forward once or twice, but it's always been because the new tooling is being fine tuned and the figures that were bumped forward were being made with existing tooling.I just want my Deep Ones. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
>>11824617>Why did Elric catch everyone's attention and get them to want to buy him?Most people didn't have figures if they didn't want lizards when the PO was going on. How were you to know Elric would turn out this good? People invested heavy into the KS and probably didn't want to risk more money. No doubt a lot more people know what SC is now then when he was up originally for PO. They did more shows ths year and used up a lot of the stock originally going to be sold online which has backfired massively PR-wise. SC did this to themselves.Add also Elric uses a new joint system which was being advertised shortly after PO shipments so there was renewed interest in the figure suddenly with new joints and looks straight up Dark Souls/Elden Ring/<Insert other Souls titles from FROM Soft>This fuck up of a release wasn't good for them. A lot of new people came in during the Wave 2 restock months ago and now had experience trying the figures. When the demand starts to rise fast with people asking and the figure selling out quick at cons, you place another fucking order with the factory rather than be coy with the release. PO or not, SC wasn't shit until the barbarians got in people's hands in a larger, non-KS setting like that restock sale earlier this year.
>>11824617It's the FOMO hype shit. Outside of the type of people who post here, I bet 90% of the people who rushed out to hunt Elrics have literally no idea who he is. Sometimes specific figures just get this bizarre aura about them, like those Xcocann third party street fighter ones, the Quinn Lee and Sexy Ice stuff. When something nobody was interested in gets released and it is executed well, people see others overjoyed and want to be a part of it, so it triggers that like "joy jealousy" or whatever and the FOMO hits. You can already see it waning with Sexy Ice as people are realising they don't actually like or want random generic all gunmetal insects and jobbers. I am sure the next Savage Crucible figure will be sought after, but after that it'll be back to the normal collectors. Also people like to own the "rare" thing, so once Elric became coveted, people were inevitably going to get it just to have it, probably half of them remaining boxed up in a pile.
>>11824665>as people are realising they don't actually like or want random generic all gunmetal insectsFunnily enough, I only buy their bugmen for Berserk needs. I have no interest in their rainbow Kerberos repaints and crash test dummy droids.
>>11824677I wasn't saying they were bad or undeserving of hype etc. You just knew however, all these dudes who basically only collect Superhero and film characters all rushing out and gushing about Metal Gear esque cyber soldiers and literal psycho mantises, were going to have a come down once the fervour faded. It's the same with Elric, the amount of people on YouTube and around that bought that figure, yet have almost no interest in fantasy stuff beyond Arnold Conan and Lord of The Rings is pretty funny, you just know Elrics will start flooding Ebay in a year or two.
>>11824693Gotta say, I've never read any of his books, but Elric does look good and I have been having a bit of FOMO just because he is a nice looking armored figure. I nearly prerordered him a while back at BBTS, but they had him and Death Dealer listed for release in the same month, so I went with DD since I have more of a connection with Frazetta.And as you posted that, the SexyIce robot doggo came into my private warehouse, making me look like a big fat liar in my last post claiming I had no interest in SexyIce's non-bugman stuff. But to be fair, it does look a little bit like the Beast of Darkness from Berserk, which was why I bought it. I have the temptation to custom it, but I think it really is beyond my skill level.
>>11824383It's actually more the proportions and heads. Nothing against them though.FWIW I also like the golden axe figures too and if anyone is wondering the XesRay helmets do fit them.
>>11824806You'll be able to do a sleigh for christmas
>>11824665The most valid answer to any sudden toys demand
>>11824716I feel bad, I wasn't actually really criticising anything even if my tone might have sounded like that. Intrinsically, I was kind of omitting anyone who posts on this board, because I think the nature of people who come here is different from your "gotta get em all" type of collector, but even then, those guys can do whatever they want. Like I said, in my opinion, all of these figures have to be excellent to trigger the whole thing, it's when a company successfully caters to someone's needs, like Sexy Ice making a cool as fuck cyber dog, nobody else has done anything even close to that until now and they have done it well. And I think the cyberdog is evidence for me, it didn't really take the hobby by storm like the Unkvals did, people were pretty indifferent to it, aside from people like you who actually like stuff like this.
>>11824841Nah, I didn't take it as criticism. Maybe I came off as defensive, but I know what you are talking about. The bandwagoners that are jumping on Elric only because he is the hottest thing on social media right now. Like you said, don't be surprised if there are a flood of them on eBay in a year.I was content with my decision to skip him in favor of Death Dealer until some of the pics last thread. If I don't end up getting one, it's not gonna be the end of the world.
>>11824859Oh that's another, big point, these guys on social media like Mr. Lee and whoever 5K employed who does those posing videos, they can make you want to buy almost any figure. Dangerous following any of these posing dudes heh.
Hey, is the anon with the KeepGoing skeletons that wanted the flaming horned head still around?
>>11824841The problem for the dog is the price, kinda expensive for such a little toy
>>11824371No need for any of that, just buy from multiple sources multiple times.
>>11824371who said anything about owning multiple properties? even neet losers have neighbors and grandmas
>>11825293its frightening you'd task your neighbors and grandmas to harbor your toys for you
Berenice arrived today.I wanted to take a pic with all armor pieces on, but I kept thinking "how will she look without this?" and "I should check for possible stains under this" and here we are just now.The torso armor doesn't restict her movement much. It's articulated at the waist (disconnected, actually, like a top and a belt-skirt), so you can adjust a decent transition between the figure articulated at the diaphragm and the armor articulated at the waist.
>>11825372I can't believe how derpy Cassia looks, what the fuck were they thinking.
>>11825381I think I might qualify for a replacement, I've seen both better and worse. I think she doesn't look that bad in person, so I haven't bothered asking for one.
>>11825372great lineup
