Transcript
- 0:02My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
- 0:04I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
- 0:08It turns out that Attila the arrogant soul.
- 0:11And so he's got a fake hammer. Oh.
- 0:13A. Fake.
- 0:14Yeah. Whoa.
- 0:15As I say, Dick. Welcome to episode 161 of the
- 0:20Religions Podcast. And this week we're going to
- 0:23chat about what we think is happening for the rest of the
- 0:27year. Not so much a predictions
- 0:29episode and because you know, that's almost impossible, but
- 0:33more of a little road map what we feel might be dropping and
- 0:38more of a maybe wish list and kind of based on.
- 0:43Column B. Based on past performance of the
- 0:46horsemen and of course some they're they usually change
- 0:49things up, but I think we have a few things that we know are are
- 0:52coming. So like for example, that
- 0:53reinforcements wave likely to be the major mythics wave.
- 0:58There's going to be a cosmic wave, there's going to be G con
- 1:00wave. So we can definitely talk about
- 1:02those things. But anyway, how's mouth doing
- 1:06Well. Yeah, good, good.
- 1:09Busy, busy, busy as ever it feels like since the turn of the
- 1:12year. But yeah, good, good, busy.
- 1:15Can't complain, you know. Yeah, you were telling me you've
- 1:17you've made the mistake recently.
- 1:19You've been on the early shift at work on the day on the
- 1:21recording days, which makes it a bit tricky out, stretches the
- 1:25day a bit. It's me.
- 1:26It works it all out. So it's just be, you know.
- 1:30You're just being nice to other people basically as.
- 1:32Usual. And it falls that those are the
- 1:35days I go in the office, but then I have to get there extra
- 1:37early because I'm on the early shift.
- 1:40Yeah, it's my own fault, but hey, hey.
- 1:44And Rich has things with you. I'm pissed off and fed up, but
- 1:48never. Anything in particular or?
- 1:53Work in the main. But OK, just certainly don't
- 1:56want to know about that. So we have to cheer you up
- 1:59tonight then, by talking about all the awesome stuff that
- 2:01you're working hard for, yeah. I was thinking too, it's like
- 2:05people want to know what's coming.
- 2:06All the other future waves just listen to my predictions because
- 2:10so. So that is this week's episode
- 2:13where there's just lots of shark men and lizard men talk and.
- 2:17They like. Only ones each are trying to get
- 2:20me into cosmic because I can't do that.
- 2:22OK, Right. Yeah.
- 2:25Fair enough. Well, it's my birthday this
- 2:27week, so I'm, you know, I'm feeling a little bit old.
- 2:31Yeah, 47. Can you believe it?
- 2:34I wish I was going to be 47 this week.
- 2:36OK, Yeah. I'll be I'll be 52 next month.
- 2:40Yeah, I know you. I know your birthday is in June
- 2:42because you you always celebrated on the show or what?
- 2:45I just happened to be very close to around the recording times of
- 2:49the show the last few years. So, well, this year's thank you
- 2:52had the big one, of course. Yeah, it's the day the masses
- 2:55the Universe movie opens. So I've got the day off work.
- 2:59I'm going to see the film hopefully won't let me down,
- 3:01spoil my birthday. Yeah, I'm super excited for
- 3:04that. And we got Mandalorian and
- 3:07Grogu. Whatever you think about modern
- 3:10Star Wars, I still think that's going to be a lot of fun.
- 3:13Going to try and bring my kids to that and to the He Man movie
- 3:16as well. The Masters of the Universe so
- 3:19should we find lots of master the universes toys going out I
- 3:22even saw today they announced Mal popped a dinner chat hot
- 3:26toys they teased he man and Skeletor.
- 3:29Man and Skeletor, yeah. Before, before I was collecting
- 3:36mythics, I was collecting masters and I would have been
- 3:39absolutely over the moon about that.
- 3:41So I can only imagine how the hardcore as the Universe fans
- 3:46are feeling and how it might differentiate from the mondo
- 3:49stuff that's going to be the most interesting.
- 3:52Yeah, I wonder if they all they've got maybe the movie
- 3:54licence. So it's going to be that rather
- 3:57than anything. Else it did look, it did look
- 3:59like the movie figures on the tease, which makes sense, I
- 4:02think. Yeah.
- 4:03I've got to say, I mean, again, despite the Origins collection
- 4:08behind me, that's as much about like the figures as the actual
- 4:12property itself. But although I'm very excited
- 4:16for the MOTU movie, I feel like they're doing a really good job.
- 4:21Others have to tell me what they think of giving the characters a
- 4:27movie version of the looks they have, you know, something that
- 4:31works on a live action. And so that's got me quite
- 4:35excited as well. You know, I think that's I
- 4:38think. Yeah, that's it just looks
- 4:43really well done. So I just hope that the movie is
- 4:47successful. And I mean, of course people
- 4:49that aren't into mode 2, they might find it a bit silly.
- 4:53But you know, there's people that find the Marvel movies
- 4:55silly. So, you know, not really too
- 4:58worried about that. But if it has a mass field, if
- 5:00kids like it, I think that would be one of the biggest things
- 5:04really. And yeah, it was it was it
- 5:09Anthony Arcel was messages recently about what would we
- 5:13think about an origins type mythics.
- 5:17That's it. Yeah.
- 5:18I don't know if we meant to say that out loud.
- 5:20I don't know. But that was his idea to kind of
- 5:22like something he might do in the future.
- 5:24But yes, he he was conjecture on what we thought of a Yeah,
- 5:31exactly that. Oranges style.
- 5:33Mythic orange characteristics characters in origin style.
- 5:37I think it would be cool, but it might only work for certain
- 5:40races and factions. Rich hates it.
- 5:44No, I don't like the idea at all, sorry.
- 5:46Basically House of the Noble there.
- 5:48Yeah. Do you know what I mean?
- 5:50And I think the origin style stuff, you need kids to buy lots
- 5:53of it also. And with no sort of property
- 5:56behind it, they're not going to buy.
- 5:58No. Origin versions of myth
- 6:00allegiance figures. I'm not sure I agree.
- 6:04I think origin, I think the fans of that that scale and and I
- 6:07think you get the Knights because of course the big thing
- 6:11with with most origins and MOTU and vintage master the universe
- 6:15is the reuse of parts, though, you know, they reconfigure them,
- 6:19reuse and repaint them, which is what legions does really.
- 6:23So I think I think you could do it.
- 6:26I think you know. I what I think would be cool is
- 6:30to, you know, get some base origins figures and maybe make
- 6:33mythic customs from that base, you know, mythic legions customs
- 6:37from that kind of basis. Then they're just one-of-a-kind
- 6:41cool things. But yeah, you know, I think they
- 6:44could work based on or depending on character selection, you
- 6:47know, Knights in that scale might be interesting.
- 6:51You might need a slimmer body. Say again, I think if you like
- 6:55your origins and you may treat, I think a night looking like
- 6:57that would be cool. You know, it's yeah, different
- 7:02strokes and all that. We're getting derailed here and
- 7:05we do have we do have more mythics on the way if there
- 7:10hasn't been enough lately. Crashing into your mailbox got
- 7:15our in stock orders this week. I think everyone got theirs
- 7:18today. I did.
- 7:22Ashes of AG Bendor is on the water, yes.
- 7:27Very cool. It doesn't seem that long ago we
- 7:30were doing the episode about this where I was through my toys
- 7:33out of the Prambutt Centre and not really, not really, but
- 7:39basically said I didn't like it, not a big deal.
- 7:41It was two years ago, I believe. Yeah, I just realised looking at
- 7:45as well. I just had I I haven't ordered
- 7:47any of the blue figures so I'm bluest.
- 7:50Whoa. But I ordered the other ones and
- 7:58in that way, instead of getting an all in, I've got some extras
- 8:02of the ones that I really liked. And so I probably won and done
- 8:07with all of these based on the order I put in.
- 8:09So don't need to go chasing any extras or anything like that.
- 8:13So that's great. Having bad mouth the as a two I
- 8:19went all in and saw my regional as a SO yeah no I have got the
- 8:23blue ones coming. I mean, it is a better version
- 8:26of as a Oh yeah, and I she's the one I'll probably pick up, you
- 8:34know, maybe at Legions con for example, it might still have
- 8:36her, but I can also live without her.
- 8:40So at this point in time. Yeah, I got, I got the all in.
- 8:45I think I might have gotten a few more goblins, but I don't
- 8:48think I got extras of anything else.
- 8:50So I think I intended to get high passion and then it's all
- 8:55sold out everywhere. Isn't it really?
- 8:57Yeah, it's a tricky one. Yeah, I think I got extra of the
- 9:01skeleton, gold skeleton, the goblins and Kai Pasha, so not
- 9:10too bad. And maybe we're too Sway, but
- 9:14maybe I don't need them now because of all the other stuff
- 9:16we've got in the meantime, you know?
- 9:19Yeah, I went all in and I think I I want to order another Frost
- 9:23Ogre, maybe a Blue Shield. I'm probably another Scally as
- 9:28well and the thing that probably done that at that point.
- 9:31I think the Blue Shield would be very popular.
- 9:35It's basically the Night Builder 2.0 isn't it?
- 9:39Absolutely, and might be easier to get because Jeruso won't be
- 9:43buying as many of those because he'd be buying himself instead.
- 9:52I hope they hope they ship them just a dozen of them, you know,
- 9:56Although that would be a tough precedent to set, you know,
- 9:58because then they have, is it four people they have mentioned
- 10:01on the 2 pack? Yeah.
- 10:03So we had a lot of free figures. But anyway, cool.
- 10:09We will talk about those in hand as they arrive.
- 10:12I think we all went directed. We.
- 10:15Yes. No, I don't think I did.
- 10:19Allow me to my spreadsheet. Bear with me.
- 10:21OK, well while you're checking your spreadsheet, we can also
- 10:24pop up another NEWS UPDATE, which was the bathe here.
- 10:28They gave an update and Bathe here.
- 10:30I did see the odd posts in the last couple of weeks.
- 10:32I know they're not, they're not talking about the OPG and all
- 10:35the other stuff. But you know, I paid my money
- 10:37for Bathe Here and I haven't heard much since.
- 10:40And I can imagine some people probably came in and just got
- 10:45this because it's a cool dragon and are not in the cycle of
- 10:48mythics as much. So they don't have our kind of
- 10:53inbuilt, I would say patience, but you know, expectations for
- 10:58how the way. Yeah, the way it works.
- 11:01And yeah, they did a cool beta update.
- 11:05So he's now in tooling. So engineering and yeah, which
- 11:10is basically part of the engineering is the tooling
- 11:13process. This is where all the money is
- 11:17going basically a lot, well, a lot of the money this and paint
- 11:21is your massive big production expenses for for this type of
- 11:25stuff. So they make yeah, big steel
- 11:29moulds for all the different bits.
- 11:31And if you see here in this picture, all those bits, we
- 11:36don't need to zoom in individually on them there.
- 11:39But there is a bunch. I'd say you know, dozens of
- 11:45parts. They're of different sizes.
- 11:47Wonder of care to saw that and thought he's going to need to
- 11:50get a bigger table. If he does, if he does that
- 11:55review of the exploded review of this guy, then I think he'll
- 12:00he'll deserve a few extra Subs for sure, and a few extra views.
- 12:06That will be a lot of work. But I would love love to see a
- 12:10video of them doing the steel moulds, not even necessarily for
- 12:15the dragon, but just for a figure sort of thing, because it
- 12:17must. Be you know.
- 12:18You've got to get like millimetre right?
- 12:20And that I'd love the geeky part.
- 12:22We would love to see a. Video of that, yeah.
- 12:25I'd say it would have to be like a little compilation of
- 12:27different videos done over days because I imagine it takes.
- 12:32Oh yeah, a bit of time. Yeah.
- 12:33But yeah, that would be very cool to see.
- 12:35And maybe they can do that when they employ that extra
- 12:41production person that they were looking for, someone who is
- 12:45going to help Chris coordinate the production and go to China
- 12:49regularly enough. So might be a little mission for
- 12:51them. That would be cool, wouldn't it?
- 12:54Yeah. And if it's a younger person,
- 12:58they'll have the social media skills you know, to, to do the
- 13:01videos and in terms of fulfilment.
- 13:06And my actions about Bendor was UK one still.
- 13:09OK, fair enough. I'll.
- 13:10Be waiting as normal. Yeah, yeah.
- 13:14Say on that. So it's basically coming end of
- 13:16June, they expect to to the Horseman's warehouse in New
- 13:21Jersey, then ship the direct orders shipped out and then the
- 13:25retailer day to follow, which going on the usual kind of flow
- 13:29of things, it'll probably be late July, early August would be
- 13:33my guess. Yeah.
- 13:36So we shall see then bait here in terms of fulfilment.
- 13:40So the the the mega interesting part on that end of this year,
- 13:47the first shipments. So because of the size of Bay
- 13:51theory is going to be coming in a few dozen containers from
- 13:54China. So it won't be like our waves of
- 13:57figures where they just come in, you know, maybe one or two
- 14:00containers and all boxed up and then they ship them out
- 14:05reasonably quickly. This is going to come in over a
- 14:09couple of months. So I don't know if anyone
- 14:12ordered some of the big stuff from Super Seven that happened a
- 14:14little bit this way as well. I didn't either, but I remember
- 14:19hearing about it following. So they would have got batches
- 14:23of stuff. And of course, someone will be
- 14:25first and someone won't be first.
- 14:28They'll be last. They'll be complaining.
- 14:31And it won't be personal, and it won't be based on the time you
- 14:34ordered. It'll just be probably random
- 14:38for this one, except for the people that have ordered it for
- 14:45collection, they will be given dates and apparently they said
- 14:51back then when they were offering that service that it
- 14:53will be towards the end of the delivery dates.
- 14:56So the collection people will have to wait a little bit.
- 15:00They'll be offered a couple of different dates by the Horsemen
- 15:02and they'll be able to come and collect their stuff.
- 15:05So that'll be a logistical nightmare, but you know, it'll
- 15:09work out in the end. You want your dragon, you'll go
- 15:12and get it, won't you? Yeah, for sure.
- 15:15We'd all love to be able to drive.
- 15:17Rent a rent a highest van and drive over to the Horseman's
- 15:22Warehouse. That'd.
- 15:24Be very dangerous, but yes, it would be good.
- 15:27While I'm here, here's the list. If I want, can you just load
- 15:31that up? I wonder how many chances are
- 15:36going to be there like, yeah, got any of those revenants?
- 15:43You know there'll be someone. Like the the back alley junkies
- 15:49has to crack addicts. And then here we have the
- 15:53measurements in of course, none of your inches or any of that
- 15:58crap feet, proper millimetres. There you go.
- 16:03The only accurate way to measure something.
- 16:06So there we go. He's going to be tails and nose
- 16:11basically 11.122 metres. So that is a lot, a lot.
- 16:19It's a big. Half a metre to display me.
- 16:22Half a metre tall. The wings are almost half a
- 16:27metre wide. He's a big boy.
- 16:30He's a big lad. Yeah, crazy.
- 16:34And the flame, the flaming breath bit is including the
- 16:39head. He won't be going to my
- 16:42fireplace or my unused fireplace that I had planned, because that
- 16:46won't fit. And there's no way of curling
- 16:49him up. I don't think it's.
- 16:53Going to be a very, very big display cabinet to itself, isn't
- 16:57it? It sure is.
- 17:00And remind me again, Rich didn't get a dragon.
- 17:04I didn't, no. I just don't have the display
- 17:07space. I almost went for the head, the
- 17:11sort of head in the fire right set.
- 17:13I'm going to set it up as like coming out of the wall or
- 17:15something like that. But I just, yeah, I couldn't
- 17:17figure out how to make that work.
- 17:19And Mal has one on the way, so Rich would be driving across to
- 17:23Birmingham. Too, I will be visiting Miles.
- 17:25Feed and purpose in person Yeah, every.
- 17:29Time I stretch out to touch him, I'll be just like whacking me
- 17:31with a rule or something like back.
- 17:33Glass Trust. Me.
- 17:38Oh, come on. You have to let him.
- 17:39You have to let him see it. A bit closer than that.
- 17:41All you've seen is the prototype behind glass, you know.
- 17:46Yeah. Going to be a fun piece to
- 17:49display. Yeah, definitely if we can find
- 17:52a place to to display it, right. So no more, no more pictures
- 17:56tonight. It's just going to be our ugly
- 17:58mugs. So we're going to get into
- 18:03legions for the rest of 2026. How about that?
- 18:06So. It might cheer me up because I
- 18:09just upset myself again when we talk about actually about
- 18:11Bendor. I've suddenly popped onto a
- 18:12website which had the ones the extras I wanted in stock and
- 18:16they sold out of the Blue Shield Soldier so.
- 18:19Oh, no, never mind. Calm down, calm down.
- 18:24Never mind. Yeah, Yeah, it's fine.
- 18:26It's fine. Right.
- 18:30And now do you want to kick us off with the what you think is
- 18:34coming next? Or, well, you can go by mythics.
- 18:37Just go with what we think next, which we think is probably going
- 18:41to be, I'm guessing the Legion builder or Legion reinforcements
- 18:46builders, whatever you want to call them. 3 was the number on
- 18:50there on the screen, the magic number?
- 18:55Do you want me to go through all of them, or should I just pick
- 18:57one of that and we'll do it like that round Robin sort of thing?
- 19:01No, But yeah, let's do it like like that until we run out.
- 19:05So well, I actually think we'll get based on other ones.
- 19:09We'll get 7 in all. The first one I've put is we're
- 19:13going to get a Templar again, maybe in different colours and
- 19:19called something else because you know, Templars are popular.
- 19:23Although I I mean this one rich might know better.
- 19:26I'm only aware of red white black white and white black as
- 19:29being actual Templar colours. But this is fantasy, so they
- 19:33could pretty much make it whatever colour they want and I.
- 19:36They could you mean the ironically the the Templar
- 19:38colour that you know. So the white and red obviously
- 19:40is the the real life or Templar thing, as was black and red.
- 19:43But obviously, Sir Gerard's nick that option, yeah.
- 19:46So yeah, they'd have to use a different a different.
- 19:49Made-up colour. Scheme, yeah, like the white and
- 19:52black one they've had for the relic guards, for instance.
- 19:54That's the colour scheme that the Teutonic Knights used in
- 19:56their life, so yeah. Well, I actually wonder if we'll
- 20:00get the fake cloth parts that the RPG Paladin Cleric has for
- 20:07it as well, because it was mentioned at some point that
- 20:11they'd been. Ready to go for a while?
- 20:15They're previously told here. Yeah, yeah.
- 20:17So I wonder if This is why they were previously told or they
- 20:23know they can use it for that. So that's my first guess for the
- 20:27Legion. But guess what?
- 20:29Yeah. I didn't say I had not a
- 20:32Templar, but I had the same thing about.
- 20:33So I was like, the Knights, always really popular, but
- 20:36they've done so many Knights, how can they do different ones?
- 20:38Like those soft goods, the faux soft goods, It's like that's how
- 20:42they can do. And as you said, well, they
- 20:43said, you know, they've had this stuff tool for ages.
- 20:45So there's no reason at all I can't get a knight with those.
- 20:51Yeah, I saw someone posted a picture the other day of a black
- 20:56Dark Templar, but with soft goods from one of the third
- 20:59party soft goods, maybe Max Byrd.
- 21:02It looks so good. I have to say I do hope we maybe
- 21:05get a soft goods version of that in a future wave, because he's
- 21:08saying maybe not a reinforcements wave, but yeah.
- 21:12Well, we should probably it's worth saying because we might
- 21:14have people who aren't so au fait with this is that the
- 21:19builders, the reinforcements, the builders tend to be more
- 21:22basic paint apps, quite a lot of reuse within the the wave, let's
- 21:29call it a wave and that sort of thing, don't they?
- 21:32Very basic. So yeah, although we did get
- 21:36some new parts in the last one. Yeah, usually it's new parts
- 21:42that they may have already tooled for example or something
- 21:45like that. Now it wasn't the last.
- 21:51Weren't the last ones, were they pre-orders?
- 21:53No, the last ones were all in stock drops.
- 21:56In stock, yeah. So maybe this won't be a
- 22:01pre-order. Sorry, Rich.
- 22:05I'm just going to say I'm presuming it's going to be in
- 22:07stock, but that was one of my questions is that will it be
- 22:08pre-order or in stock? But I'm guessing in stock.
- 22:11Usually I'll pay for the reinforcement.
- 22:13I think with the amount of stuff that's gone through production,
- 22:16I would be very surprised. I think it's probably a
- 22:18pre-order with the hope that it'll be out within the year,
- 22:22you know? But we know nothing, Johnson,
- 22:28you know? Yeah.
- 22:32And it also depends on the price they pitch them at.
- 22:34If they go for the 30 price point, could expect maybe a few
- 22:38more paint apps, things like that.
- 22:41If they try and keep them somewhere in the 20s, like
- 22:44probably won't because prices are going up on everything a
- 22:47little bit. So maybe 30 would be the same as
- 22:50what 26 used to be. So yeah, Yeah, I don't know.
- 22:55Yeah, another reason I was thinking why it might be in
- 22:57stock is obviously they did the RPG and that had builders in,
- 23:01didn't it? So do you want to do another
- 23:03pre-order for builders that close to having just done one
- 23:07sort of thing? Whereas if it's in hand, people
- 23:09get the FOMO and start diving on stuff going Oh yeah, yeah, I
- 23:11want it now because I can get it straight away.
- 23:14Yeah, it depends. Containers.
- 23:19Could be. I'll do my first one here then.
- 23:26It's not really a type of figure as such, but a figure with the
- 23:31new broader torso. So in a Legion builder, that
- 23:35kind of leather torso and plus all the cloth good parts with
- 23:41that and the leather boots, either the ones with the fur on
- 23:44the top or the classic leather boots that we get with the
- 23:47gladiators. So got a seat.
- 23:51Sorry. Yeah.
- 23:52So some sort of a character like that then you know, either
- 23:56generic head helmet with that call of the character type.
- 24:02I, I'd love it if we did. That would be my preference.
- 24:06But funnily enough, I've gone for I think as, and I mean I'll
- 24:11explain it more as I talk through mine, but I think this
- 24:14is going to be a wave where they get the evil, let's call it
- 24:18Herzog armour out a bit more and a bit early because we haven't
- 24:22got much of that yet. We haven't got much broader
- 24:27armour either, you know. No, it's true.
- 24:30As I say, I would absolutely love that.
- 24:33What do you think, Rich? Yeah, I, I, it's a tricky one.
- 24:37This is the most difficult sort of builders way prediction.
- 24:40I think I've done because we've had so much stuff recently.
- 24:43Yeah, yeah. I was like, Oh well, you know,
- 24:44they're probably going to do a 1.0 alpha.
- 24:46It's like, well hang on a minute, there was one in the RPG
- 24:48so it's not going to do that. And it's really tricky.
- 24:53I wouldn't be at all surprised to see an all cloth good, good
- 24:56figure. I think that would be a good
- 24:58move, right? Yeah, because it's always night
- 25:01heavy, always armour heavy, so it makes sense to do that.
- 25:04What colours would be interesting because again, we've
- 25:06had the full range of colours of stuff recently so.
- 25:11Yeah. Yeah, I I would say a fairly
- 25:15neutral colour, even the leathery colour.
- 25:18Would work, might get green. The glass one that you know was
- 25:22there was a lot of cool. Popular point.
- 25:24Yeah. Yeah, it's popular in the in the
- 25:26Armoury Knights. Yeah, but not the same as the
- 25:29Armoury Knight one. Ideally that was.
- 25:32No, there might be more muted, might be more muted, but again,
- 25:36I never know if that one was popular because it was rare or
- 25:39popular because people love the green.
- 25:41Yeah, it's. True.
- 25:43You know, I remember when they teased that we weren't overly
- 25:48excited about it because it had the really weird green helmet on
- 25:55it that didn't match the green of the of the torso.
- 25:59Yeah, So right. Rich, what's your first
- 26:03suggestion here then? I'm thinking a 2.0 goblin build
- 26:07of some sort. I know we've got the Ashes 1
- 26:10coming soon, but I also think the horsemen know that the Ashes
- 26:13wave was hugely under ordered. There was so much, you know,
- 26:18angst around that wave. Anyway, I think a lot of people
- 26:20wouldn't have ordered it. So I think we'll we'll get a
- 26:24Goblin 2.0 of some sort, right. I'd like to get into more
- 26:30details, but I don't know the parts as well as you guys and
- 26:32this was very much a rush job for me, no.
- 26:34No, no. You mean.
- 26:35You mean so not a, not a on a 2.0 body you mean.
- 26:39That's a yes. Sorry, yeah.
- 26:41OK, so 10 goblin. Yes.
- 26:44Have we got thin, thin arms? We have yeah.
- 26:46Yeah, with the his guitar on that.
- 26:48So they could do that sort of thing.
- 26:49That would be a. Funnily enough I I am Denard
- 26:52over putting that in but didn't in the end again because I've
- 26:55gone with more armoured characters.
- 26:57Yeah, if we could get another hooded head goblin like Snag but
- 27:03in a different colour and maybe redo of the head.
- 27:05Would be good when they obtain that.
- 27:07Yeah, or redo of the snag head be fine.
- 27:09Linked to it, One thing I put down here is whether we'd get a
- 27:12fuzz mug builder, because we've had a first month for ages.
- 27:17Obviously they've got the head, they could just paint it a
- 27:19different colour. Yeah.
- 27:20You could use the the sort of cloth style style stuff or the
- 27:23armour stuff for it, yeah. I'd be very.
- 27:27I think I'd prefer if they're not in the armour more, more
- 27:31organic. Yeah, because it's very much
- 27:34feels like a a flock figure, doesn't it?
- 27:37A character the the first monk. So good.
- 27:39Point man, we should get it flocked, Yeah.
- 27:43That would actually be really cool.
- 27:48I'd say that wouldn't be legion builder price.
- 27:50No. Although they had the silver
- 27:52horns entries last time, didn't they?
- 27:53And that was a bit more so maybe.
- 27:55Brian Fighters is going for Legion builder price on the
- 27:58secondary market these days so. He should be.
- 28:00He should be giving away free. Send them my way I'm.
- 28:05With you, John, I like Flock stuff.
- 28:08I love a gimmick, yeah. Translucent.
- 28:13Translucent. Parts.
- 28:15Yeah, yeah, ideal. Mal, do you want to say you've
- 28:22said about the Herzog armour but continue there for.
- 28:24Yeah, yeah. So, so I think we'll get a
- 28:26dwarf. I think it'll use the new dwarf
- 28:30boots and gloves. So yeah, so the new slightly
- 28:35more ornate looking, but then we'll be mixed with more
- 28:39traditional org stuff because there was kind of a suggestion
- 28:42that's what they would have liked to have done for who Did
- 28:48we get 2.0 off? No, Valgard.
- 28:53Valgard. Oh yeah.
- 28:54There was a, Jeremy did sort of suggest if they'd had those
- 28:57parts, they might have thought about doing that for him.
- 29:00So I wonder if they'll try and put something out that's a bit
- 29:02of a similar build to what they would have, you know, maybe done
- 29:05for him. And I think.
- 29:08Was that not the RPG dwarf though with the with the big
- 29:11torso and. Better cloth legs again didn't
- 29:17it? Whereas I'm talking about
- 29:18armour. Don't think they'll give him
- 29:19full armour but with the new bits.
- 29:22The new armour bits. Yeah, yeah, and your lovely.
- 29:26Without wanting to upset Mr House Seal, but have we not had
- 29:29a lot of dwarfs recently? There's never enough dwarfs
- 29:32because I had. The same thought I was thinking
- 29:33dwarf and it's like, but we've had a lot of dwarfs.
- 29:35We haven't really. We've had three.
- 29:38That's a lot I. Mean.
- 29:40To be fair, quite loud and boisterous.
- 29:42There's quite a lot of dwarfs. Yeah.
- 29:45But yeah, I suppose there are in the RPG.
- 29:47There's 2-3 potentially, isn't there?
- 29:49If you count Boria and Varg 2.0, yeah, yeah, maybe, yeah.
- 30:02Right. I mean, I'll just follow up with
- 30:05the dwarf. I said the dwarf as well, new
- 30:06parts, especially the torso. So because on the RPG we got the
- 30:12boots and stuff. Yeah.
- 30:13So I think especially the torso and those are the cuff pieces.
- 30:18Yeah, right. So you you are sort of getting
- 30:20more of the leather and cloth build Fair.
- 30:24Yeah, that's why I'd love that. That's going to cost me money if
- 30:27they do. Rich.
- 30:33I put down and then change your mind, but I haven't got rid of
- 30:37it from the list. A female might of some sort.
- 30:40OK. However, then it dawned on me
- 30:43that obviously they're tooling up the Delphina 2.
- 30:46It might be a bit too early for a female knight.
- 30:49Yeah, that was kind of why. Unless they unless they do a
- 30:51torso with breasts at 1.0 scale and have a female knight like
- 30:55that. Which you know, they don't
- 30:58normally do new bits for these waves, but we could do that.
- 31:03Yeah. Do we think they could have, you
- 31:09know, like cloth parts, like a bit like the RPG Knight in
- 31:13female? Maybe they're tuning them at the
- 31:15same time? Well, the other one is something
- 31:19likes what I was going to say Siri grain, which is not Siri
- 31:24grain, but we get in the grain grain, but we're getting her,
- 31:27we're getting that building the. Yeah.
- 31:30Only that's the problem with that one.
- 31:35I think I get a 1.0 female legion builder so you know the
- 31:43Navy builders but in a more well basic look.
- 31:47Maybe more armour? I don't know.
- 31:50I haven't checked because I haven't taken it apparent yet,
- 31:53but does the female legion builder or dwarf torso go on a
- 31:59bigger figure? It's the same, does it work?
- 32:02It's the same size. I'm sure Anthony no, he did it
- 32:04the other way around, didn't he? But well, I've said 1.0 female
- 32:08look mixing parts from Nevada and the Herzog.
- 32:13So, but so we'll have skin bits, but skin bits but green, you
- 32:23know, or greens. That's my, that was one of my
- 32:25little left field. I think they'll do this because
- 32:29I've also then said also a little left field will get a
- 32:32female dwarf again using the new dwarf parts and FA parts
- 32:38combined. So.
- 32:41Nice. Any any steer on that Ridge, do
- 32:47you think? I quite like the idea of a
- 32:49female orc, I have to admit, but I don't know how well they sell.
- 32:55So we're not here for that. This is true I think.
- 32:58I think maybe if they made it a fury female fury orc that might
- 33:01sell more. We haven't had one of them, have
- 33:04we? We haven't, no.
- 33:06OK, chalk that. One point a build because you're
- 33:08a bit more, you know, aggressive.
- 33:10Yeah, exactly. Yeah, And then you've got some
- 33:12red parts as well. I know we've got the stuff in
- 33:14the armoury, but you've got a few more of it legs.
- 33:17Yeah, I would have said in a new Fury York with the Erzic parts
- 33:22until we saw the Fury York coming in the armoury pre-order
- 33:27now. So that's gone off the table for
- 33:30me and I think a Vampire Knight 2.0 so version 2 with the
- 33:39desperter parts. OK, that that would be.
- 33:44If I suddenly pass out, just you know.
- 33:47Funnily enough I put a vampire in as well.
- 33:51I thought the Erza car mix of the Erza Carm and Valiant Night
- 33:54armour painted black. You know, given that shiny
- 33:57black. No, I think it should be.
- 33:59I think it should be. I think you're.
- 34:02Well, they did. They did, you know the second
- 34:04Silver Horn sentry, didn't they? Or, you know, just another
- 34:07version of that. So yeah.
- 34:09But the cloud goods in in black, and then the leather boots in a
- 34:13kind of glossy, glossy black leather.
- 34:16Yeah, yeah, that would be that. I really like the sound of that.
- 34:21Yeah, yeah, my water is ageing towards the door at the moment.
- 34:29So if you want to sell a case of them.
- 34:34I will say it might be very close to a female build I was
- 34:36going to do but that is to come. I'm so slow at anything.
- 34:43When I struggled with what I think we're going to get this
- 34:46character type is skeleton. So skeleton legion builder 3
- 34:50almost, you know, but we've also had the the skeleton fighter in
- 34:54the in the game. What can they do with a skeleton
- 34:58when you think it's going to make it lead in buildry and
- 35:00interesting? You see, I kind of think it's
- 35:02going to look a bit like the RPG because I've said mix of bone
- 35:05parts and I was like a hammer. I wonder if we'll get the
- 35:08skeleton Raid ahead again. Yeah.
- 35:13Like I love my skellies by sorry Brett, I hope we don't get
- 35:16another one this soon unless it is radically different to the
- 35:19ones we've had. That's the problem, isn't it?
- 35:21Yeah, like I can think of a number of different cool
- 35:24skeletons you could make with a combination of armour and
- 35:27another pieces and the skeleton parts.
- 35:30But I think we've had the ultimate, you know, kind of
- 35:33fully skeleton skeleton. Oh yeah, yeah, Between the
- 35:37legion builder too, and the skeleton Raider, you know, so
- 35:43maybe I'm an imaginative Brett. Let us know right in.
- 35:47Tell us what you think. Skeleton Legion builder, the
- 35:49next one should be. And maybe you're just happy with
- 35:54an updated, you know, skeleton legion builder with a few
- 35:59different armour parts to put on or maybe even a different bone
- 36:02colour. I don't know.
- 36:03Would that work? Don't suggest that they go red
- 36:07for more Calabian throwing things at the wall like oh come
- 36:12on. I would laugh.
- 36:15Yeah, well I know in the spirit of Legion builders, I mean they
- 36:18do, they definitely do more paint UPS than they used to.
- 36:21So won't be 1 flat paint, there could be a wash, but a real like
- 36:27a white Bony skeleton, but more decayed, you know, more, more
- 36:37maybe even with like kind of green bits on it, you know, with
- 36:42paint now enough luck. I mean, you know, but where the
- 36:46bones are going kind of bunch of different colours, but just
- 36:49there's still the white kind of bone weathered shows through.
- 36:54So. But again, I think that's
- 36:56probably beyond the Legion builder wave.
- 37:00Yeah, that's, that's a good plan.
- 37:01I think that'd look really good. But trying to keep that within
- 37:03the price bracket I guess could probably be tricky.
- 37:06Or maybe a deluxe, you know, leading.
- 37:09Yeah. Yeah, a lot of work.
- 37:10And the deluxe part would be the paint because I think they could
- 37:13do that. Nelson, your list, their mouth.
- 37:18An orc, a male orc. I think maybe we'll get we could
- 37:22get an updated version of our coup, basically.
- 37:25So because it's been a while since we've had a I know we've
- 37:29got a green body in the armoury, but it's and not the armoury,
- 37:33the gladiators. Yeah, gladiator armoury, but
- 37:35it's not really straight up orc, is it?
- 37:38So I wonder if we'll get an all green with again, bits of Herzog
- 37:44armour, but kind of styled like like who was so perhaps a quite
- 37:49a bright silver metallic look with, you know, almost barbarian
- 37:53orc, I guess. Again, with the RPG, not so
- 37:58sure. Possible.
- 38:00Yeah, that's a good point. And the thing isn't it I'm, I
- 38:03think This is why I find it quite difficult this time to do
- 38:05this. Is that because the RPGs come
- 38:07out? But obviously they've had to
- 38:09plan this. Yeah, even before the RPG almost
- 38:13sort of thing. So it's just, you know.
- 38:14If that's it, who knows when was this all planned out here,
- 38:19Right, Rich? I think we might get a Ninion
- 38:23builder. Right.
- 38:26A. Snake man.
- 38:27Yeah, they proved. So popular, yeah, yeah.
- 38:31And Ardent Scale sort of showed that you don't need to do the
- 38:35three different colours of scales, although it does look
- 38:38very cool, obviously. So if you want to eat the price
- 38:40down a bit, you could just just do the warm or, you know, 2
- 38:43maybe colours of that sort of thing you got.
- 38:45They got the heads, they got the cool armour pieces.
- 38:48You know, you can use different types of armour.
- 38:50You can use ears like the evil Ozark armour as a nasty snake
- 38:53dude sort of there. I had generic snake man down on
- 38:59my list. I did put a caveat they may wait
- 39:03like I'd love it so this is what I want but they may wait till
- 39:08they have the tail piece available.
- 39:12Yeah, well that's I guess that would push it to look straight
- 39:15away they wouldn't it with the tail piece.
- 39:19But they do do as they do do have they have had over in in in
- 39:30past by reinforcements waves. I'm just not sure they'll be,
- 39:37but maybe they will. What about werewolf legion
- 39:42builder please in the min Dodgy body If if it's a pre-order this
- 39:47could be possible. It's a pre-order that is
- 39:49absolutely, yeah. That'll be very cool.
- 39:52Well. That would mean a different
- 39:53head, that wouldn't it? You think about it, we've got
- 39:56some of those parts in the Mouse King and in them.
- 40:00Yeah. The Jersey Devil saying doesn't
- 40:03need a pre-order. Yeah, true.
- 40:07And maybe they, you know, once they're tooled and working, you
- 40:11know, didn't we get the valiant night with the with basically
- 40:14the underlying body of the Nick anomalous nights, wave nights
- 40:20long before we got them. So and.
- 40:21I guess we probably shouldn't rule out new headpieces either
- 40:25for the the builders, because obviously the RPG figures are
- 40:28$3030 and they most of them had new heads.
- 40:31Yeah. Again, part of the campaign.
- 40:34Maybe they're, I don't know, and that's their mouth.
- 40:42No, that's pretty much all I say. 7 figures for mine based on
- 40:46previous years. Anything else on your list for
- 40:50this? Was the couple so I had maybe
- 40:52like when I was struggling to think how they'd use the one
- 40:54point, you know, get a knight at 1.0 and light in there.
- 40:57I was thinking maybe like an elf or a shadow shadow elf.
- 41:01But again, we've had one in the RPG recently, but maybe a bit
- 41:04more armoured than that one to me, almost like a cross between
- 41:07the two of them potentially. Here's an option.
- 41:11And then the other one if we Speaking of ogre scale, an ogre
- 41:13scale minor sort. Now it need a new head
- 41:15obviously, but that would be or. Just a different paint job,
- 41:20maybe a different armour. I don't know right?
- 41:29My other wants or possible possibilities.
- 41:35Maybe a version two of the Silver Horn Century that'd.
- 41:40Be cool. I'm not so sure since we got.
- 41:44Yeah. Yeah.
- 41:47Yeah, or my last one, I was thinking of how could they?
- 41:52Well, no, second last one, how could they do like a valiant
- 41:58night type thing? Kind of, you know, this is a
- 42:01night that's kind of seen in different parts of the Kingdom.
- 42:05Maybe a night of the five pillars, like a dragon night
- 42:09dragon warrior. You know, it'd be cool.
- 42:13Yeah, yeah. So generic build for him maybe
- 42:18might need a new head or just use a helmet.
- 42:21And then in a future wave you do a more kind of general of this
- 42:26kind of thing where it's unhelmeted and has one of those
- 42:29kind of like dragon heads, smaller kind of dragon head.
- 42:36Be cool. And then they could do fun
- 42:38colour for him. I don't know what he'd be, but
- 42:41we could definitely do colour based on, you know, some of the
- 42:47dragon lore that we don't know yet, you know?
- 42:49Yeah, yeah. Pretty cool.
- 42:52And the last one for a friend. Jeremy, go VA Demon Legion
- 42:56builder. It's about time for that.
- 42:59That is possible, yeah. Yeah.
- 43:00You make a fairpoint there, yeah.
- 43:03Maybe a new head they have tooled, because otherwise you're
- 43:07going with the Azar. It's Azar's Azar head again,
- 43:11which unlikely after the armoury.
- 43:17Yeah, purple. There you go.
- 43:19Purple Demon Legion builder. There you go.
- 43:23Yeah, Might need a might need to tune a Wang from still the
- 43:30tribute right. I thought interesting at this
- 43:34point to to pop in kind of how it went last year from here on.
- 43:40We got in June, we got the infinite legions Glios drop in
- 43:48July. We got the iron smell pre-order
- 43:53Jersey Devil at the end of August and September's was the
- 43:56Legacies Ozone Auto Nurzak and then of CG Con in November.
- 44:03So right what we got next in MA? Oh, I haven't really put them in
- 44:11order. Should we do?
- 44:13Then you choose the order. Should we do, should we legacies
- 44:16next, then stick with mythics, but not go as far as G Con just
- 44:20yet? Yeah, yeah.
- 44:22So I keep flogging, flogging keep going on about this, hope
- 44:25we get it. And it's kind of, I've touched
- 44:28on it in Queen Irks 1.0 body, right?
- 44:34Desperate for a 1.0 female or because you can tell?
- 44:38You're not getting both the ideas, Malik.
- 44:40Oh, this is it. This is it I actually think.
- 44:42But this is once rich, not exact, not predictions.
- 44:45There should be, you know, although some of them have been
- 44:48kind of prediction. Hang on then, let me go back to
- 44:50the Legion builders. Sharp, this is my Legion
- 44:54builder. So yeah, I said Queen, do you
- 45:00want me to just get through the all of them, which we did, OK.
- 45:06I don't know if he's important enough, but I could see them
- 45:09wanting to revisit Carpathias. Just because it's do with an
- 45:15update anyway. Yeah, exactly.
- 45:16He's such a blame and figure even.
- 45:20Then he's we're at night build with basic enough paint and a
- 45:26vampire head stuck on him. He's.
- 45:27Basically a Legion builder, isn't he?
- 45:29Let's be honest at this point. And then I'd also like a Freya,
- 45:34although I don't think we'll get it because again, I don't think
- 45:36she's important enough. But a Freya and a 1.0 body I
- 45:39think would be awesome because that 1.0 body is made for a
- 45:43Valkyrie, isn't it? Let's be honest.
- 45:45So yeah, that's the three. I don't there's loads I could
- 45:49have said but those are the three probably top ones for now.
- 45:54Right, I think we get the two legacies again at some point
- 45:58like we got no they did also announce the legions gone
- 46:02exclusive legacies which was gaffed and Valgard last year.
- 46:07But I think we get a Balaam version 2 and a Morgulate
- 46:13version 2 important characters in the story.
- 46:17So that takes the box for legacies and Balaam is
- 46:23definitely do an update. They could use that RPG
- 46:26screaming head as well for him and a lot of clock goods because
- 46:32he's a Basilia guy, you know? So I mean the case allegiance
- 46:37gone, Johnny could have a flocked parts as the exclusive
- 46:40bits there. You won't see me at the table at
- 46:46the start of the amount. I'll go get the lamb.
- 46:51If anyone is interested in any of this crap I have here, just
- 46:53tell them to wait or sell it to them for half price.
- 46:57How much of your stuff we sold you only made this much money?
- 47:01There you go. Oh, I get another Balaam then.
- 47:06And I think Morgulitz for such an important character.
- 47:09She if you have her on the shelf with all the other children of
- 47:12Necronominus, yes, that's rich. Is fond of saying Malius could
- 47:16do with a redo. Couldn't.
- 47:20Those two, but. Especially Margaret, she's,
- 47:22she's lacking a bit I think a bit of paint on the armour,
- 47:26especially that headdress, so. Yeah, funnily enough, I did
- 47:30write her. Down and then.
- 47:32Removed just to add the other. One that I would put.
- 47:37I wondered if he's gone for every single figure.
- 47:41Now, Richard, No. Well, I did write.
- 47:43Down but then again removed because I did start off trying
- 47:46to do the verses thing but that's why I gave up.
- 47:50Gwendolyn Heavens brands probably do a a redo based on
- 47:54how good her dad looks these days.
- 47:57Brother. Dude a brother?
- 47:58Oh, is it a brother? She's I think.
- 48:00She's detailed enough to to still.
- 48:04Stayed there. I couldn't.
- 48:06I could never get mine to stand up, even with.
- 48:07The stands so I end up selling it out in fury I took.
- 48:12One too many other. Figures out and it's like you're
- 48:13gone. You're gone.
- 48:15I do think her armour is very nice.
- 48:17Which is again which is part of the reason I took her off.
- 48:19But again, the soft goods on the nights just brings them up a
- 48:23level. Again.
- 48:29People. She's hard to get these.
- 48:30Days but there was a stage where like a lot of the figures that
- 48:34are on the horseman website now she was on the website for weeks
- 48:38her Faustia and Thailand Frostbow so long in fact that I
- 48:43bought some that I thought I was going to make customs for and
- 48:46just sold them a couple of months later right Rich why like
- 48:55you I think we'll have. Two lots of two in terms of
- 48:57legacies, I think we'll. Finally get the version.
- 49:01Twos of ethron and zylona. I think we'll, you know, they,
- 49:06they dropped the. Hint about the great beasts the
- 49:08other week, didn't they? So I think we're definitely
- 49:09going to get those two be. Really interesting to see what
- 49:13they do with the bird. Build because the, the, you
- 49:16know, the original birds looked great, but you know, trying to
- 49:18get them to stand up is another matter entirely.
- 49:21And then obviously Zylona with her battle analyst just pulled
- 49:24back ready to to motor through. The enemy that will be that'll
- 49:31be such a day when when we get the battle Antlers Solona, That
- 49:34would be really amazing. If we get battle analysts, I
- 49:39may. Struggle to get through a door.
- 49:40My head will be so big. It'll just be like, yeah, isn't
- 49:44that? Usual anyway.
- 49:46Yeah, it is, to be honest. And then the.
- 49:51Other one I think. I think.
- 49:52They'll stick to the versus format.
- 49:55So like Mal, I think we'll get a cup Atheist.
- 49:59He's by far and away the. Poorest of the Vampire.
- 50:01Figures. So it definitely needs an
- 50:02update. So you need somebody from the
- 50:04flock. So I think we might get in a
- 50:06stereo, maybe a brute scale Hysterium.
- 50:08Yeah, he would be great, yeah. I love that.
- 50:15Yeah, yeah, definitely Hysterium.
- 50:18It's one of the. He's one of the best looking
- 50:20figures, older figures in the in the.
- 50:22He's great, yeah. Yeah.
- 50:26Right. Shall we quickly?
- 50:28Talk about G con then, and then we can get on to cosmic.
- 50:33G Con. I had thought maybe Zylon and
- 50:36Ethron would actually turn up in G Con.
- 50:39Yeah, they're with you on that one.
- 50:41Yeah. And the kind of overall theme.
- 50:46Of it I found it very they. Could go so many ways to
- 50:48continue with what they're doing now, but I'm going to go with
- 50:54Helios and Celine that that's what they're going to and that's
- 50:59what I'd like to see, to be honest.
- 51:01They're going to go with them then Salone and ether on.
- 51:04So a whole kind of old new, you know, because there's two ways
- 51:11of dunes alone and ether on. They could either do them as an
- 51:14in stock legacies a bit like or Zach Anoto to kind of time with
- 51:21the time of when leaders and Basilia are going to arrive.
- 51:26You know, then you have all four kind of probably available
- 51:30around the same time, or you do them in AG Conway and then
- 51:34people have to wait. But maybe then you know that's
- 51:39going to be a. Mega wave and then.
- 51:40Helios and Selena, I think we will.
- 51:43We will eventually get figures of them.
- 51:45So it's just a question of when and because I can't think of
- 51:49other than they could continue the story and then I don't know
- 51:51what we get, you know, So if I'm going to if I'm going to, I
- 51:56can't really make up Canon. So if I'm going to go with what
- 51:58I know, I think that. And then how do you fill that
- 52:01out? I don't know.
- 52:03Maybe more as the dragon is kind of come in and to build hope for
- 52:08that more dragon faction related characters, different types.
- 52:13You know, I can't, I wouldn't be sure exactly what type, but more
- 52:20in general there. But I'd love all that stuff, you
- 52:23know, Somal. You're with me with Salon and.
- 52:27Yeah, I am, but then it doesn't. Really fit with what I think
- 52:30we'll get for the rest of it. I'm not sure how you'd fit them
- 52:32in because I think we will get sort of progressing the story,
- 52:36but well, I kind of think we'll. Get a similar thing to.
- 52:40What we got last year of a mix, you know, still a couple from
- 52:45which is why I think I thought was a loner, but how they fit
- 52:47there I don't know. But then so I think I think
- 52:51they'll actually get a shark man next year.
- 52:54I think rich will be a little mushy pile on the floor and I
- 52:58think I think it'll actually be ogre scale shark man as well.
- 53:02So. Oh, that'd be cool.
- 53:03Yeah, I've just. Come up with a way of getting
- 53:08all. All the different ones in so you
- 53:10could do eras of mythos so way in the past.
- 53:14Helios and Celine. Salon and Ether on is the kind
- 53:17of next era, then maybe something around the Aratheer
- 53:23kind of time and then you got the ashes of egg Bendor timeline
- 53:29and then the dragon timeline. Yeah, maybe.
- 53:31And maybe even some of the domes of discovery time then maybe.
- 53:37And yeah, because the other thing I think is we'll get more
- 53:41lizard men, but I think they'll be, we'll get different head
- 53:44sculpts, you know, where they'll start to be something else
- 53:47perhaps besides what we've got so far.
- 53:51But yeah, that's pretty much all of it.
- 53:53Because then it's like, who knows, maybe more Asian but not
- 53:56Asian Eastern inspired characters.
- 53:59Again, I don't know. Yeah, sorry.
- 54:02John Malley is now my favourite Co host.
- 54:04He said Elizabeth and Jacqueman. It's just like, no problem my
- 54:08friend. I still like it.
- 54:12Even with all your IT problems. This is the new laptop as well.
- 54:18It's just like, Oh my. God, new laptop and This is why.
- 54:21Rich is sitting in a different location because we've been 25
- 54:25minutes trying to get this started.
- 54:28This is why I'm putting on my bed.
- 54:30So, yeah, right. Rich G Con for you.
- 54:36Lizard man, I think we've. Got all the parts for me, just
- 54:38need heads. So I think 1, ideally a couple
- 54:42of different types, certainly one type of lizard.
- 54:45Men. I'd love something like
- 54:46Warhammer esque. I'm not sure if they want to go
- 54:49quite that on the nose or not, but then it would tie in with
- 54:51the I mean the snake men are all yeah, it's very similar aren't
- 54:55they? Very close.
- 54:56Yeah, yeah. So you know.
- 54:59You could have, yeah, the lizard men.
- 55:00On the, you know, the other continent that they go to sort
- 55:03of thing, they get there. There are the lizard men,
- 55:06definitely shark man. I'm not sure we go ogre scale I
- 55:10think. Maybe a brute?
- 55:10Scale. So maybe like use the walrus
- 55:14dude's? Body.
- 55:15Yeah, he's got this name already.
- 55:17Obon Oben Mobile No. Maybe it was the ray.
- 55:21Yeah. Oh, is he?
- 55:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So maybe his scale just to be a
- 55:27big. I'm not sure if I if.
- 55:30I'm thinking that's likely. Or I'm thinking that head idea I
- 55:33had the other day that I showed you guys would work really well
- 55:35on a brute scale shark. So I think just get a feeling we
- 55:42are getting a shark. I think we will.
- 55:44Yeah, I think we will. Even if because you.
- 55:45Could do, you could do it as a seafarer or something, or you
- 55:48could do it as a bit of a, A twist and he's a good guy shark
- 55:51sort of thing that's helping the fisherman league or whatever.
- 55:54Yeah. I think we'll get some more
- 55:57seafarers. I think they.
- 55:58Will carry on from where they were so I you know I'd.
- 56:02Quite like to see maybe? Some evil races that we know in
- 56:04the Seafarers, so you can maybe have a vampire.
- 56:07How we'd manage on the open seas, I don't know, but they
- 56:09could work around that somehow or shadow wealth or something
- 56:12like that. That was one of the thing, isn't
- 56:14it, We? Still don't really know who
- 56:18these characters that have captured what's his name from
- 56:24the horror of Einsomal. Oh, we don't actually know who.
- 56:27Who? Carry a Lithia iconography.
- 56:30Or we don't know who they are, do we?
- 56:33Could be vampires. That would be awesome.
- 56:36I'd take that in half. Pirate vampires, yeah.
- 56:39Or you could even have like a skeletal.
- 56:41Seafarer. Yeah, you know, if you want
- 56:44proper evil. Sort of thing.
- 56:45You know nothing. Nothing like a skeletal pirate.
- 56:48Yeah, because there is so much. Story from both of those things,
- 56:52the horror of and smell and the dawns of discovery to continue.
- 56:57So yes, for me it'll be if they continue that we can be sure
- 57:02that those type character types have sold really well.
- 57:07But if we go back to kind of more traditionally what they've
- 57:10had in mythics, then maybe they might be going right.
- 57:14They didn't really sell as much as we thought.
- 57:16So maybe to this Yeah, you. Could see them.
- 57:19All bombs combining. They couldn't you so.
- 57:21They, as you said, John, the Dawn, like the Dawn Discovery
- 57:24ship will arrive at port and then there's this other huge
- 57:28black sail or red sail, wherever it was, ship that just comes,
- 57:31yeah, comes in into port at the same time, sort of thing.
- 57:35And, you know, they're seen unloading this giant werewolf
- 57:37and that and you, you cross it over there a bit sort of thing
- 57:40and link the two together. Yep.
- 57:43I want something. With tentacles now.
- 57:46I'm not going to say square. Abroad whatsoever.
- 57:48I just want to settle a pod of some sort almost.
- 57:52For the hands. And like arms and feet as much
- 57:54as anything else, I'll take it in cosmic, I'll be honest.
- 57:57And that is on my cosmic list wish list as well.
- 57:59But I just need tentacles. A wise old Fishman.
- 58:05Of some sort I think would be a cool character if they carried
- 58:08on that story. Something like an angle of fish.
- 58:10Or something like that little dangly thing.
- 58:12I think that'd be that'd be pretty cool.
- 58:15And then? Sadly, moving away from the
- 58:17fishy. Type ideas?
- 58:19I'd quite like to see some sort of like beast man type thing.
- 58:22So like almost like a Warhammer sort of style beast man.
- 58:25So they could be like populating the continent that they're going
- 58:28to sort of thing. I think there's lots of scope
- 58:31there to do some really cool head sculpts and head designs
- 58:34and that sort of thing. So, yeah, that's sort of stuff I
- 58:37would like to see AG Con Yeah, I think that would be a.
- 58:40Continuation and also cool, you know I'd definitely be down for
- 58:45that, right? Cosmic, then, is what I have
- 58:51left. Anyone event now so than cosmic
- 58:53we don't need figura guesses or oh.
- 58:55Yeah, I have a figure I guess as.
- 58:57Well, or want more than I guess. And should we do the figura
- 59:02first before cosmic then? Yeah, we said cosmic at the
- 59:04last. And.
- 59:07I went with the Red Riding Hood and the Wolf as as my guess for
- 59:14the like the Jersey Devil slot from this year, so the kind of
- 59:17autumn slot. I went for the same thing, John.
- 59:23I think you talked. About it so much.
- 59:24It's now got into my head as well, like a new one, but I
- 59:27think it'd be great. Yeah.
- 59:28I put red writing and Kevin Boots is is.
- 59:31Is the one I think to put it initially into my head so we're
- 59:36just gone in a circle here. But I think it would be such a
- 59:39great little 2 pack. And I think the wolf could be
- 59:43the the 3.0 body, the Windaji and comes with the soft goods
- 59:49cloak. So you can do the the hooded
- 59:52wolf kind of look. And obviously Red Riding Hood.
- 59:56I mean, you've got, you know, the druid from the RPG wave.
- 1:00:02You know, that type of a build with the red cloak obviously.
- 1:00:06And you know, various other parts would be awesome.
- 1:00:10I would insist that the wolf has some sort of granny.
- 1:00:12Wig, though, they can put on as well, like you get in the
- 1:00:14cartoon version. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:00:17Yeah, yeah. Right now I didn't put figure.
- 1:00:25About I more likely to get encrypted of some sort in that
- 1:00:29in that autumn slot again I think yeah based on the the wolf
- 1:00:34is OK he's. Not encrypted, but he's a
- 1:00:37creature. It's possible.
- 1:00:40It's possible. I mean, it is a horrory kind of
- 1:00:43vibe to it. So yeah, for sure it is.
- 1:00:45Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think we might get an earlier
- 1:00:50Pigura, I think when they might sneak one in at some point
- 1:00:53across the summer. So my want, I'm not sure how
- 1:00:56likely it would be a pigsie. So continue.
- 1:00:59Oh yeah, suddenly theme. And then Christmas will be
- 1:01:04Christmas will be the ghost of Christmas present because space,
- 1:01:07the health people think about will just implode if it isn't.
- 1:01:10So how wondered if we'd get The Nutcracker?
- 1:01:13This year, but just one of those same.
- 1:01:17People, I would love it, but. One of those two properties.
- 1:01:20Definitely. If they totally can't, go and
- 1:01:24get another. When they've set those two up, I
- 1:01:28do think that. You might be like, I wonder with
- 1:01:31the tough, you know, whether they wanted to get another Gods
- 1:01:34of Ancient Egypt out, but also had an idea for this slot that
- 1:01:38they would normally have one in and, you know, around this time,
- 1:01:41like, you know, sometimes it's been May, sometimes it's been
- 1:01:46mid early to mid June. So, but they also did say the
- 1:01:52last G con to expect the unexpected when it comes to
- 1:01:54figure obscure and they were referring to the figures, but
- 1:01:58also which I think we always expect the unexpected, but also
- 1:02:01the way that they drop. Now, whether they were just
- 1:02:05talking about the tough thing that we hadn't, that we didn't
- 1:02:07know about yet at that point, or whether this is going to be, you
- 1:02:11know, the way it goes in the future, I don't know.
- 1:02:15So. Could be anything.
- 1:02:19Right, cosmic legions. We're pretty sure, and they have
- 1:02:22heavily hinted that we're getting another wave this year.
- 1:02:26So Mal, as you are resident Cosmic Legions expert, well,
- 1:02:31maybe you can. Yeah, click reigns for the
- 1:02:34start. Well, I'm assuming it will be Ox
- 1:02:36crew book. Three, it'd be nice to finish
- 1:02:39that off, I interject Mal at this point.
- 1:02:42I think it will be too, but Jeremy did say on his show
- 1:02:44through the week that that the cosmic wave this year won't be
- 1:02:49what people are expecting. OK, so.
- 1:02:52I'm. I'm hoping that means.
- 1:02:53It's just going to be weird and wonderful creatures in the
- 1:02:56Oxbury book three thing. So and that's what I've gone
- 1:02:58forward. But he did say that, just like
- 1:03:02maybe I should. Maybe I blanked it.
- 1:03:04Out don't get me now one. Wave 3.
- 1:03:11OK well this might be out of the window then, but all my guess is
- 1:03:16the Ox crew one as well dude. So don't worry, I think it will.
- 1:03:19But I've said. We'll get the last two.
- 1:03:22Crew members. I think one of which will be
- 1:03:25another raw vast scale character because I think that was very
- 1:03:28popular, although of course they've probably designed them
- 1:03:31before that and another. Velux beer to use that.
- 1:03:35Armour again, hit that scale and that size are not armour.
- 1:03:39Pursuit, outfit, whatever. Said it before, but I stick with
- 1:03:44it. I get the feeling that Warlord
- 1:03:45is going to be slog and another slog because it just gives Jabba
- 1:03:51the Hutt vibes, doesn't it? The way it's talked about so.
- 1:03:55And that'd be awesome. And then I'm sure there was a.
- 1:03:59Mention of the. Tusk picking up the signal of
- 1:04:03Sarah wonder if we'll get some more Tusk character you know the
- 1:04:06sort of army builder kind of Tusk characters because they're
- 1:04:09so popular or they seem to be one of the more popular things
- 1:04:13in in cosmic so and that's all I've got really there's that's.
- 1:04:22Rich like Mal. I think they'll use a slog body
- 1:04:25for. The The Wasteland Warlord, It's
- 1:04:28it's it's a perfect fit for it. You know, they need to use their
- 1:04:30body again anyway. And it, you know, Chuck a new
- 1:04:32head on, maybe some new hands and feet.
- 1:04:35You got some weird abomination there.
- 1:04:37Yeah. I think we'll get the last two
- 1:04:39crew members. I think one of them's going to
- 1:04:42be like a really thin alien. So not, not a grey, but that
- 1:04:45sort of thin build. So initially I was thinking, oh,
- 1:04:48they'll do a thinner version of the big suits.
- 1:04:50And it's like, yeah, they're not going to probably not going to
- 1:04:53tool up another suit. So they maybe, maybe lose the
- 1:04:56Gloria. To as it's that little bit
- 1:04:59smaller. Sort of thing.
- 1:05:00But yeah, like a really properly thin headed alien maybe with
- 1:05:04spindly fingers or something like that.
- 1:05:06I think that'd be one of the characters I think, I think I
- 1:05:09put down it's a communications person and then I'm thinking
- 1:05:13multi head. So especially with Jeremy saying
- 1:05:15they're going to go away, people don't think, I think the other
- 1:05:18crew member will have a two, maybe 3 heads.
- 1:05:20So they can have some sort of neck piece that has the
- 1:05:22different heads coming out and that sort of thing.
- 1:05:24Just to really make it more alien because that the cosmic is
- 1:05:27a great line. But that's the one thing they
- 1:05:29need to do is they need to go more alien, which seems a weird
- 1:05:32thing to say, but I think the time's.
- 1:05:34Arrived for that. I'm expecting another skate.
- 1:05:38Back of some sort. Maybe a fierce.
- 1:05:41One again, but. Different, you know, not the
- 1:05:43same as the original skate back. Maybe, you know, a mouthful of
- 1:05:46big, big teeth or something like really an ominous sort of growl
- 1:05:50or something like that. If we are going like really
- 1:05:55outlandish. Like Jeremy said, you know,
- 1:05:57prepared to be, you know, surprised or whatever sort of
- 1:05:59thing. Then I was thinking maybe like
- 1:06:02either something with multiple limbs, so they've not really
- 1:06:04done that where they've got like 6 arms or something like that.
- 1:06:08It's like I see them doing that or like really flexible limbs.
- 1:06:11So, you know, with the tails where they've got the bendy what
- 1:06:14but that, but with the arms, so a bit more like, you know, the
- 1:06:17motu squeeze or every he's called a sort of long bendy
- 1:06:22limbs as something a bit different sort of thing.
- 1:06:27I've. Said before I want an alien
- 1:06:28just. With lots of sharp teeth, it can
- 1:06:30be any of those, or maybe a little alien.
- 1:06:32I'd really love a tiny alien with razor sharp teeth and
- 1:06:35really ferocious. And obviously we've got the imp
- 1:06:38scale stuff now, so they know how that works, even if it was
- 1:06:41new parts for Cosmic. And then presuming we don't get
- 1:06:44it in mythics, something with tentacles.
- 1:06:46We need tentacles. Call to arms.
- 1:06:53Tentacle arms. More than two arms.
- 1:06:58Yeah, so the the site, the second.
- 1:07:00Characters of the good that they have mentioned from the crew is
- 1:07:04the science officer. So the communications officer is
- 1:07:07the other one. He's the one.
- 1:07:08He or she is the one writing the logs.
- 1:07:11But the science officer is named as Tyra.
- 1:07:14Ty Ty R no trya, trya. Sorry.
- 1:07:19THRAYA be 3 heads. So oh, three girls thrown out
- 1:07:27there. Three arms.
- 1:07:29I I. Do think 3 arms sounds.
- 1:07:31Female name, doesn't it? Yeah, I do think that the
- 1:07:34community. It would be awesome for the
- 1:07:36communications officer to be a little alien dude, you know,
- 1:07:40like you see on those ships. The little alien guy is the one
- 1:07:44doing all the tech stuff, you know, and able to get into the
- 1:07:48tiny little spaces. So it would be cool for him and
- 1:07:53then two ways of doing. Them, obviously.
- 1:07:56Either you do them on a small build or you somehow have him in
- 1:08:01the suit, but like, his whole body is the head or something
- 1:08:04like this, you know, sitting in the driver's seat doesn't.
- 1:08:08Yeah. So almost like it's a mech, you
- 1:08:10know? That would be cool, you know, I
- 1:08:14mean, bit overkill, but if they did that with the slog buddy,
- 1:08:18the little aliens. Actually one. .0 slides 80
- 1:08:23inside. In the middle of the slog thing.
- 1:08:25Yeah, yeah. And indeed so in terms.
- 1:08:28Of that is the. Obvious thing, the Ox Crew 3.
- 1:08:31And I think if we get Ox Crew three, I just agree with all the
- 1:08:35stuff you're saying. It should be along those lines.
- 1:08:38And I hope we get weird stuff, you know, outside of what we get
- 1:08:43with the odd familiar thing as well.
- 1:08:45Of course, that makes sense. The other.
- 1:08:49The other. Type of cosmic.
- 1:08:50Wave that's done is an outpost wave.
- 1:08:54That is possible, but then if you know, is that what?
- 1:08:58People might be thinking. Maybe as well so don't know but
- 1:09:04an outpost wave then you could be any any type of characters.
- 1:09:06Exactly. That's the good.
- 1:09:08Thing, yeah, you can go crazy. Couldn't.
- 1:09:09You're the outpost way if I bring up here.
- 1:09:13These are the cosmic legions affiliations, so there is 4 that
- 1:09:18are haven't even been revealed yet.
- 1:09:21So that's something to think about.
- 1:09:25You got so the ox crew here is kind of what we have the good
- 1:09:31guys kind of from the current thread of the story.
- 1:09:35And they also appear in this XR 3 because they're that's they're
- 1:09:41part of that company that you know is doing this.
- 1:09:44And Callie and Shawn is the other person that's in there who
- 1:09:48is also looking for them. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:09:53Escape haven is the bad guys basically from this wave or you
- 1:09:58know is Bundy nature are they they didn't sound like bad guys
- 1:10:03did they they're. Obviously part of yeah, but
- 1:10:05they're the non team members. From this wave, yeah, exactly.
- 1:10:12But actually the escape back. Isn't.
- 1:10:17They're interesting, but I suppose.
- 1:10:18They're unaffiliated, Yeah, no. So OK.
- 1:10:22As unaffiliated. These are the more random
- 1:10:26characters. Traxians, OK, they're just wild.
- 1:10:31The mine worker, Specsian, he comes in the sexiest wave and
- 1:10:34the Phillies is a kind of a tribute, so they don't.
- 1:10:38And Fisher Rice is a tribute as well, so makes sense.
- 1:10:42The maze is the graze, right? Yeah, so another grey possible,
- 1:10:48but I think they're still available to buy these guys, at
- 1:10:53least one of them. So this is the one if if Jeremy.
- 1:10:59Say no. What they think.
- 1:11:00I wonder if they're going to explore the spot.
- 1:11:02Because you're going to get weird and wonderful.
- 1:11:04Mechanical. Mechanical part, not human part.
- 1:11:09So tucked far away in the deepest pockets.
- 1:11:11Of system that looks a colony of scavengers and outliers known as
- 1:11:15the Red spiral. So these can be all sorts of mad
- 1:11:19looking characters, basically characters.
- 1:11:24I think it's what about these guys?
- 1:11:25But yeah, you could. Easily have a group of these
- 1:11:27arriving at an outpost, couldn't you?
- 1:11:30Yeah, so you could have more official looking.
- 1:11:32Characters. And then these, as you say,
- 1:11:34weird and wonderful ones. Well, I'll be I love that.
- 1:11:37And what do people like in Star Wars?
- 1:11:39They like. The bounty halters, all these
- 1:11:40kind of, you know, cobbled together kind of gritty
- 1:11:44characters. The bleeders Guild that's so
- 1:11:49Novi lean. This is the more the best
- 1:11:51figures bounty hold hunters, the Embira, Jambira and Operative 83
- 1:11:57tribute. So we don't put too much in him
- 1:12:01in terms of the lore. But yeah, these are agents
- 1:12:05trained to extract in in. So these are the bounty hunters
- 1:12:07extract and trade information. So any addition to that fact
- 1:12:13affiliation is going to be cool. I think, you know, we can agree
- 1:12:17on that, yeah. Mortal.
- 1:12:21Thorn just. Serine Spire and no info really
- 1:12:27on the mortal thorn. Maybe could explore?
- 1:12:31That a bit more, yeah, there's plenty of scope for.
- 1:12:34That or they could go back to wave 1 and continue with the
- 1:12:38grave ring. So that's where all these
- 1:12:43characters, I mean Olek, who's kind of the main character in
- 1:12:47Cosmic or was definitely at the start, he's in the grave.
- 1:12:52Ring you have. The two versions of him, the
- 1:12:55kind of before and after, and you got Zarian and Vorga.
- 1:13:01Kragner. And Ieus who?
- 1:13:04So Zarian and Ieus appeared in other affiliations as well.
- 1:13:08So interesting that that's kind of where they who they are
- 1:13:13outside of the grave ring. And then the Tusk is like.
- 1:13:18Loads of the other characters, so all the suits.
- 1:13:23I mean, Scourge is a bit of an outlier here in terms of he's a
- 1:13:28dragon build again, a tribute. So yeah.
- 1:13:33But I do you think there's actually more Tusk?
- 1:13:36There isn't a huge amount really.
- 1:13:38They could definitely do more colours.
- 1:13:40Yeah, I think that's why that's the Tusk.
- 1:13:43Whatso allows them to do doesn't.
- 1:13:44It. Is true builders that have
- 1:13:47variety of colours, but I suppose they have used the Tusk
- 1:13:50armour. And a couple of other
- 1:13:51characters. Oh yeah.
- 1:13:53So places go there and then. Very rich, yeah.
- 1:13:57Oh, sorry, John, I was just saying in terms of the tusks.
- 1:13:58They'd be a good spot to put robots in sort of thing.
- 1:14:02But then we've had the Phantom Group task trooper things and we
- 1:14:05recently wish and they were talking about some of them being
- 1:14:07robots. So maybe, maybe a few new
- 1:14:09robotic. Parts isn't where they're.
- 1:14:11Going to go with that. Yeah, definitely.
- 1:14:14And obviously, the Tusk. Armour shows up with.
- 1:14:18The other characters as well, you know, like Kyler has it in
- 1:14:22for example, and you know, they use the torsos and stuff and
- 1:14:27some of the characters more as reuse, I suppose.
- 1:14:33But yeah, so that's cosmic. It could go in any direction.
- 1:14:36Then you see with the story, I do think the stranger, the more
- 1:14:41sci-fi the better, you know, but it would be a lot of investment
- 1:14:48in tooling for them. So it's a bit of a balance
- 1:14:50there. Yeah, now is the time, if they
- 1:14:52really. Really want to push it forward?
- 1:14:54Then now is the time to go. Weird, Weird and wonderful
- 1:14:57sci-fi. Yeah, definitely.
- 1:15:01OK. I think that's it all covered
- 1:15:04then. So that's your year, which isn't
- 1:15:11going to happen that way. But it was fun at.
- 1:15:12This point I think to take the time, a little bit of downtime
- 1:15:17and want to thank all our viewers, listeners, watchers for
- 1:15:22their support, especially the Patreons who keep us going to
- 1:15:25keep the lights on in various places.
- 1:15:28So thanks to them. We'll we'll definitely have more
- 1:15:32Patreon episodes coming up in the next while.
- 1:15:35Yeah, and there'll be some more rich randoms done when I get my
- 1:15:38butt in gear. And sorts out a date,
- 1:15:40definitely. Maybe some movie stuff.
- 1:15:42Around some of those movies that are coming out be definitely I'd
- 1:15:45love to do a chat about the Masters movie.
- 1:15:48It looks like Rich is going to go on day one.
