  My wallet So welcome to episode 83 of the
• 0:37
  Allegiance Podcast. We're into mid-september now, so
• 0:41
  less than two months to Allegiance Con.
• 0:44
  That's pretty exciting. This week we've got some
• 0:47
  listeners questions for you. I put the shout out for
• 0:49
  listeners questions I didn't mention on the show last week
• 0:53
  because we hadn't decided to do it yet.
• 0:54
  Probably should have because maybe people are sensible and
• 0:58
  they just listen to the show or watch the show on YouTube and
• 1:03
  didn't maybe see the questions I put on our different platforms.
• 1:07
  So apologies. So if you do have a listener
• 1:09
  question and you're just a listener and you don't waste
• 1:12
  your time with all those social media things, then fire it in
• 1:15
  and we get to it next week for sure.
• 1:17
  And so how are we doing guys? How's you?
• 1:20
  How are you rich? I'm doing well, thank you.
• 1:23
  Yes, it looks like like a bit of a pincushion.
• 1:26
  You see the blue? Oh yeah, my hand.
• 1:28
  Blue plaster on the arm, there was one there a minute ago.
• 1:33
  So yeah, I went through a blood test earlier so I got all sorts
• 1:38
  of stuff but yeah, apart from that all sorts of good, very
• 1:41
  good and nothing worry test. It's they're doing a, there's a
• 1:45
  private company in the UK working with the NHS and they've
• 1:49
  got almost 2,000,000 volunteers now and they're doing like, you
• 1:52
  know, just studies sort of things.
• 1:54
  So, you know, if your blood shows this, you're more
• 1:56
  acceptable to this in later years.
• 1:57
  And they can give you, like, advice saying, Oh yeah, you
• 1:59
  know, you, you might want to get yourself checked for XY or Z and
• 2:02
  all that sort of stuff. So, yeah.
• 2:03
  And. If your blood shows this, you're
• 2:05
  more susceptible to buying customs.
• 2:11
  Yeah, who's this man who's going to be looking crack in his
• 2:15
  blood? What?
• 2:16
  It's going to be just all these guys in white coats.
• 2:18
  Come here, Come here. Look at it.
• 2:19
  Look. Never seen it that high on that
• 2:21
  level. What's that level?
• 2:23
  Oh, toy collector. And how are the cats rich?
• 2:29
  They are settling in extremely well.
• 2:32
  I love to hear it. Both of them have the the Tilly
• 2:35
  the Boy because they've got the name wrong, but they recognize
• 2:38
  them now. Yeah, the wrong way around.
• 2:41
  Yeah, he's he's like a proper, he's a proper attention horse.
• 2:45
  So he's straight over and OK and him and Kerry are bonded
• 2:49
  completely to the point he's the last couple of nights he's just
• 2:52
  been lying on our bed before we put him away sort of thing for
• 2:55
  the night. And he's just the vet bed's
• 2:57
  virtually vibrating. He's purring so loudly, sort of
• 2:59
  thing. You have more time to look at
• 3:03
  customs then, because Kerry is, you know, doesn't need to be all
• 3:06
  in your hands. You can this is.
• 3:07
  The plan? Yeah, exactly.
• 3:08
  You can pet the cat and. And then the little so and so I
• 3:11
  sent you guys a picture earlier. Little so and so was on my side
• 3:13
  of the bed, tucked under the the duvet Bush.
• 3:15
  Oh yeah, the duvet. But you've given up on given up
• 3:19
  on that. You know, I just have to.
• 3:21
  I just have to be comfortable in the fact that I'm probably #1
• 3:25
  but sometimes there's only a cat that's needed.
• 3:31
  Selling in really well, yeah, the Milo, the girls not quite as
• 3:35
  cuddly etcetera, but even she's like purring around as she was
• 3:38
  purring by me earlier sort of thing.
• 3:39
  And we'll come up every now and again going a little bit of
• 3:41
  attention and then she goes. Yeah, she's, she's, she's kind
• 3:44
  of working her way into the family, I guess.
• 3:46
  Yes, I think so. They both seem to sell in really
• 3:49
  well. Yeah.
• 3:49
  So we're a very happy Cat House household now.
• 3:52
  I love to hear it, love to hear it, see and and man, how's the
• 3:56
  crack? Yeah, not too bad, not too bad
• 4:01
  as I was just moaning. It's gone very wintry very
• 4:04
  quickly, which. Oh.
• 4:06
  Man, older and older, I more and more I need to move to a warm,
• 4:10
  dry climate. It's I can't.
• 4:12
  I can't. Yeah, cold and.
• 4:13
  We just had the summer switched off here.
• 4:16
  You know, we, we put like my kids, the two kids wanted to
• 4:21
  have like pool party for their birthdays, even though their
• 4:24
  birthdays were in April. So we saved the birthdays for
• 4:26
  the summer holidays. And because his events friends
• 4:29
  were all away for a lot of the summer holidays, you know,
• 4:33
  various times overlapping with each other and eventually a few
• 4:37
  of them were available this week.
• 4:39
  So we managed to cram it in because then the day after, I
• 4:42
  think it was Saturday, the day after the temperatures just
• 4:45
  plummeted. We were 11° here today.
• 4:48
  That's 52 in American. Didn't get any harder than 11
• 4:52
  1/2. Yeah.
• 4:54
  Oh yeah. It was like jacket weather.
• 4:56
  What the heck? Well, there was, there was hail
• 5:00
  today. So, you know, chunks of ice
• 5:02
  falling out in the sky. It's like, what the heck.
• 5:06
  Yeah, we, we here just looking at the temperature here, yeah.
• 5:09
  So we were like 1718 Celsius all of last week, rained most of
• 5:13
  last week, but it wasn't too bad.
• 5:15
  And then yeah, it's like I think 13 today.
• 5:17
  It meant to be 12 or 13 tomorrow.
• 5:19
  So, you know, just we dropped here as well.
• 5:22
  If we've been shortchanged with the summer because we've got no
• 5:24
  lead in it, just went to like spring, summer, but like in
• 5:28
  July, way too late. And now it's got to September
• 5:31
  and it's like now winter, you know, forget your autumn.
• 5:35
  Yeah, well, I don't like autumn, even though that's when I was
• 5:38
  born, but I suppose it wasn't supposed to be winter really
• 5:41
  wasn't it? But yeah.
• 5:44
  I guess you're all back to school.
• 5:45
  We're back to school on Monday here and we had some friends
• 5:49
  that we're doing a, you know, a lot of people go on holidays the
• 5:53
  last week or two here because a lot of other countries are going
• 5:57
  back to school already. So the holidays might be a bit
• 5:59
  cheaper, more available, etcetera.
• 6:01
  And we had friends that went to Germany or Austria in the
• 6:05
  mountains and the weather is just, they've just found out
• 6:10
  their last day there is going to be snowing.
• 6:13
  Oh, now they're quite high up. But like, this time of the year,
• 6:16
  it's not supposed to, you know, ski season is another month or
• 6:18
  two at least if the early season.
• 6:21
  And. Yeah.
• 6:22
  And no winter tires. No.
• 6:25
  No clothes Appropriate. Yeah.
• 6:28
  So I would just leave as soon as I saw that forecast.
• 6:31
  I'd be like, right, sorry, kids, no cheating.
• 6:33
  You know, the last year holiday. But you don't want to.
• 6:35
  I'm telling you, you don't want it if you know what's coming.
• 6:39
  I mean I imagine it's nicer than when we get snow which is just
• 6:42
  slush and slot within. And Mal, you went to see
• 6:45
  Beetlejuice. I saw, Oh I did, yes, saying
• 6:48
  during the week that you went and you enjoyed it.
• 6:50
  I did. I'm seeing a few a few negative
• 6:53
  reviews, but everyone who have not true.
• 6:57
  I've seen a couple of people being like not sure it's as
• 6:59
  good. I watched the 1st.
• 7:02
  Is it a good film? After.
• 7:04
  But it's enjoyable. Yes.
• 7:05
  Yeah. For me, it hit all the notes you
• 7:08
  want it to hit, whether the story was good or whether the,
• 7:12
  you know, perhaps it wasn't as coherent.
• 7:15
  Maybe. I see.
• 7:16
  I disagree with that. But.
• 7:17
  But yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah.
• 7:20
  For me, it had what I wanted from a Beetlejuice movie, right.
• 7:24
  It was fun. It's good, wacky zany, you know,
• 7:28
  Michael Keaton being Michael Keaton and and Beetlejuice is
• 7:32
  just fantastic as ever, so. I think Michael was so good in
• 7:38
  in everything that, you know, if you get him to reprise the
• 7:41
  character from from when he did it, was it, I guess 90s was
• 7:45
  Beetlejuice, not 80s was it? Yeah, like 90s maybe.
• 7:49
  Was it? OK, let's not.
• 7:51
  Let's not embarrass ourselves here.
• 7:54
  I don't know why I just hung that around our necks, you know?
• 7:58
  My lady wife was like oh she watched Beetlejuice the original
• 8:02
  1 then because the new one's out and I can't repeat the language
• 8:06
  on our show what that she used towards the idea of watching
• 8:08
  Beetlejuice. Apparently she's not a fan of
• 8:11
  that one. Oh, OK.
• 8:14
  Yeah, I think. It's a great film, but yeah,
• 8:15
  she's known. Yeah, I suppose it would have
• 8:17
  been before we met her, her wives.
• 8:19
  So yeah, you you just find out if they're like the original or
• 8:24
  not. Oops.
• 8:25
  Yeah, yeah, she's weird. She's too late for.
• 8:28
  Devolved Marie Film. Just like, well, she's like Bill
• 8:30
  Murray films either. So like Groundhog Day.
• 8:32
  No Scrooged, no, it's ghost. It Ghostbusters should just
• 8:37
  about tolerate. It's like, seriously?
• 8:40
  Wow. OK, Yeah.
• 8:41
  Well, yeah, My, my, my Fizzler tastes as well.
• 8:44
  Yeah. And there's certain films that I
• 8:46
  watch that she hates. So yeah.
• 8:50
  But we just don't watch them together then.
• 8:52
  Yeah, just have to give up in that scenario.
• 8:56
  Yeah, I watched because she's doing a film module this year
• 8:58
  with. She took a like, an extra class
• 9:01
  where she's doing films because she likes, you know, all that
• 9:05
  stuff as well. And so we're watching films now
• 9:08
  that we've normally watched series.
• 9:10
  So we're trying to find stuff on Netflix so that the kids could
• 9:13
  watch at home. You know, for sure nearly
• 9:15
  everyone has Netflix. Or, you know, she'll find out
• 9:18
  when once the class starts next week.
• 9:20
  But for the moment, we're assuming most people have had
• 9:23
  Netflix. So A Pursuit of Happiness was on
• 9:26
  Netflix. The Will Smith one.
• 9:28
  Quite a good one. Miserable.
• 9:31
  Oh, yeah, it's a it's a it's a, it's a very good film and his
• 9:34
  performance is amazing. But yes, you will.
• 9:39
  I was, I was quite invested in in the fate of the lead
• 9:42
  character. But also, yeah, quite.
• 9:45
  I don't know. Yeah, it kind of made me sad.
• 9:49
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:50
  Anyway. Is that the one who's like
• 9:51
  homeless or something? But then it's a well paid job
• 9:55
  or. He's a salesman that basically
• 9:56
  invested a lot of money in these bone scanners and and ended up
• 10:02
  kind of struggling to sell them. And then his life starts to fall
• 10:05
  apart. And at the same time he's trying
• 10:08
  to get an internship to become a stockbroker.
• 10:10
  And it kind of all that's a true story, apparently based on true
• 10:13
  story. So which is why it's so
• 10:16
  emotionally heavy. Yeah, heavy.
• 10:18
  That's it's just so. And there's a little kid the
• 10:19
  whole time, which is actually his real kid, real life kid and
• 10:24
  Jayden. And that's right.
• 10:26
  And who's now an adult, of course.
• 10:27
  So that's weird. When you look up on IMDb who's
• 10:30
  the kid? And you're like, oh, he's an
• 10:31
  adult because it's the film is from 20 years ago.
• 10:34
  But yeah, it's the cute kid when all the bad things are happening
• 10:38
  to them, of course, it's just, you know, devastating.
• 10:41
  Absolutely. But yeah, good film if you're,
• 10:45
  you know, a good film in the kind of, you know, if you like
• 10:48
  watching kind of Oscar type films or, you know, these kind
• 10:51
  of critically named films. And it does have quite a high
• 10:57
  rating on IMDb. So I suppose that's kind of
• 11:03
  reflective of the type of film it is.
• 11:07
  Speaking of Oscar rated or Oscar type films, I got carried
• 11:10
  towards the Green Book. The other?
• 11:12
  Oh yeah. Which is a fabulous fabric,
• 11:15
  brilliant film, best film at the Oscars sort of thing.
• 11:17
  And you can see why it's. I've seen it before.
• 11:21
  But yeah, Kerry loved it too. It's really good film about
• 11:24
  true. Again, based on a true story
• 11:26
  about a black pianist who does a concert tour down to the South
• 11:30
  of America when everything's still segregated.
• 11:33
  And the Green Book is the list of hotels that the black people
• 11:36
  are allowed to stay in. Oh, where they can eat and all
• 11:39
  this sort of stuff. Yeah, but the.
• 11:41
  The guy that goes with him, he's like chauffeur sort of thing.
• 11:44
  Is this like white bouncer from New York sort of thing?
• 11:47
  And they bond. And yeah, excellent film.
• 11:51
  Very good. Well from films to something
• 11:55
  completely different, we have Mr. Trevor Williams and his
• 12:01
  Cosmic lunch box. So tell us first, Mal, cosmic
• 12:05
  legions aren't on anything. And when it's Trevor Williams
• 12:08
  photos, even better. Yeah, I, I actually, I think
• 12:16
  it's this photo I got from Legions Con last year.
• 12:19
  So. Oh.
• 12:20
  Yeah, yeah, I got that one as well, yeah.
• 12:21
  The minute they sort of got announced, I was like, Oh my
• 12:24
  God, Oh my God, Oh my God. And I've got my order in like
• 12:26
  within minutes of him going, of them going live.
• 12:29
  So I think it's going to be epic.
• 12:32
  And it's funny because I was actually, I don't know why, but,
• 12:35
  you know, you get one of these ideas in your head that I'd be
• 12:38
  cool to have, like a classic lunch box to just use for
• 12:41
  storage or something. So it was something I was
• 12:45
  looking for as well. But everything I've seen, I was
• 12:49
  like, it's cool, you know? But then the minute we get in
• 12:52
  cosmic art, hell yeah, I'm right in there.
• 12:55
  Yeah, very cool. Can I check do all those figures
• 12:58
  come with it? Because they're obviously in the
• 13:00
  pictures. Oh well, that's what I've paid
• 13:02
  for. I don't know.
• 13:03
  Yeah, yeah. Is this going to be another
• 13:07
  Swigs bottle? Again, sorry.
• 13:11
  And it does have the Cosmic Legions logo on it, which means
• 13:16
  that it's actually sanctioned, as I said, yeah, yeah, by the
• 13:20
  Horsemen. So that's also very cool.
• 13:23
  And it does a pre-order up and you can get it here at the 16
• 13:27
  under score shooter Instagram page or 16 shooter on Facebook.
• 13:33
  And you did post in the Cabal and there's a Google form that
• 13:36
  you fill out and you can PayPal $36 as a pre-order and you can
• 13:42
  pick it up at Legions Con. So that's a little discount for
• 13:46
  doing it that way. And you guarantee your, your
• 13:49
  lunch box. So yeah, I'll definitely be
• 13:51
  doing that. I I of course, meant to do it
• 13:53
  straight away and then got distracted to do something else
• 13:56
  and never got back to it until of course, preparing for the
• 13:59
  show. And then I realized, oops.
• 14:03
  But yeah, definitely, definitely must get for me.
• 14:05
  And the nice thing about buying something like this at Legions
• 14:08
  Con is when you put in your luggage, you can fill it with
• 14:10
  other stuff. It's exactly what I it doesn't
• 14:13
  technically take up space in the luggage.
• 14:15
  No, in fact, you know, might even be extra protection for
• 14:19
  resin parts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a little bit
• 14:21
  of bubble wrap. Yeah.
• 14:23
  And put your parts in so absolutely perfect.
• 14:27
  So me and I'll be getting 1 you rich.
• 14:31
  No lunch box, but not my thing. I don't feel the need to collect
• 14:34
  those. It's all absolutely awesome as
• 14:36
  this is, it's not for me. Cool.
• 14:40
  Very good. And well done to Trevor.
• 14:42
  That's a nice little unique item.
• 14:44
  Great. Yeah.
• 14:45
  Because it's, it's always difficult to when you you know,
• 14:50
  you're selling pictures and prints and stuff and it's always
• 14:53
  difficult to think of something else to kind of put it on that
• 14:57
  isn't just kind of a tacky like, you know, because of course you
• 15:00
  could get photo on everything. But what's going to sell and
• 15:03
  what's cool and what maybe is collector friendly and
• 15:07
  nostalgic. And I think a lot of collectors
• 15:10
  would remember kind of lunch boxes from the 80s.
• 15:14
  Yeah, stuff. And it's blue, so woohoo.
• 15:18
  Yeah. Yeah, I don't know why that's a
• 15:21
  woohoo, but yeah, this is. Trevor and it's blue.
• 15:24
  Oh, Oh dear, that. Was rich.
• 15:31
  Trevor Rich No. Right, We should get on to the
• 15:40
  main topic. This is going to come up in one
• 15:44
  of the questions. So don't we need to say too much
• 15:47
  about it, but we think possibly figure obscure this weekend,
• 15:52
  which interesting. And by the time, yeah.
• 15:57
  So we can talk about that on the actual question that it comes up
• 16:01
  on. And there's also the mythic, the
• 16:05
  Legions Armory experience at Legions Con is going to be
• 16:08
  revealed tonight as we record this.
• 16:10
  So you will already have heard it.
• 16:12
  And Jeremy's show, I'm sure lots of people are tuning in tonight,
• 16:15
  Wednesday. And so we're not even going to
• 16:19
  talk anything about it other than, you know, it looks like
• 16:23
  figures and stuff. You know what it is?
• 16:26
  We don't know what it is yet. So we're going to talk about it
• 16:29
  on next week's show and give our reaction and considered opinion
• 16:32
  that that's unfair. Sounds good to me.
• 16:35
  Awesome. Got to keep that coming.
• 16:38
  Got it. Yeah, I'm just, I'm just trying
• 16:40
  to resist as the temptation stay up tonight, but it's like, no,
• 16:43
  just catch it and replay tomorrow.
• 16:44
  Yeah, it's got a decent light skip.
• 16:46
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 16:47
  You'll see a post on the Kabal that'll explain it all and then
• 16:51
  you can go back and watch the stream when you have time.
• 16:55
  But yeah, so thanks. That's nice little.
• 16:58
  I like when we get stuff to talk about because we've we've
• 17:00
  generated a lot of our own stuff to talk about over the last few
• 17:03
  weeks, which is cool as well. But it's also nice to get some
• 17:07
  something on a plate, you know? Yeah.
• 17:08
  Yeah, definitely. Right, let's go into listener
• 17:12
  questions righty. Oh, so the first question comes
• 17:23
  from Chris James Pretty he was pretty quick on the draw, so
• 17:30
  that's why he's first in line here.
• 17:33
  He says this is for each of you. If the four Horsemen were to
• 17:37
  start another legions line, what would you like them to do next?
• 17:44
  So, mall, you're ready to go. Yeah, big time.
• 17:49
  I've kind of said it before, I would love 6 inch Wild West
• 17:54
  figures or what you know, Western, let's call it Wild West
• 17:58
  because you need it to be a bit more interesting than just like,
• 18:01
  you know, the blacksmith and whatever the barkeep and I was
• 18:08
  as I was a. Barking.
• 18:10
  Sorry mall, if there's a barkeep we have to get a Splatoon as
• 18:12
  well. That would be a legal
• 18:14
  requirement. You could come, you could get a
• 18:16
  bar set, couldn't you? But yeah, I'd, as I've sort of
• 18:20
  hinted out there, I do wonder how just a straight western line
• 18:23
  would, how interesting that would be in terms of characters.
• 18:27
  So maybe some sort of theming and I went sort of, it could be
• 18:30
  sci-fi, Wild West, but actually more fun, sort of some sort of
• 18:34
  horror theme. So you could have undead Cowboys
• 18:37
  and the demon Cowboys, werewolves could all come into
• 18:42
  or well, though perhaps you could, you know, some of the
• 18:45
  Native American legends. So you've got not werewolves,
• 18:48
  skinwalkers and things like that?
• 18:50
  Yeah, yeah. And then you could actually make
• 18:53
  it quite compatible with the existing Legions lines as well,
• 18:57
  and people could mix them up in however they wanted.
• 19:00
  I mean, they would anyway, but you know, you know, failing
• 19:03
  that, Pirates pirate theme would be great.
• 19:09
  But again, I think you need to introduce fantasy element to
• 19:12
  that to make it a bit more interesting.
• 19:14
  And I'm thinking sort of the thing that was kind of coming to
• 19:17
  mind was some of the stuff you see, like Pirates of the
• 19:20
  Caribbean. So you could have sea creatures
• 19:24
  or, you know, you've got the ghost pirates, but they've got,
• 19:26
  like, barnacles over them. Well, yeah.
• 19:28
  And you as Andy here, as I was saying it, Richard, like the sea
• 19:30
  creatures idea. But it would be really cool to
• 19:32
  get something like that and, you know, crap men and whatever
• 19:36
  else. So yeah, I think they're the two
• 19:39
  wild, Wild West. The Western theme would be my
• 19:42
  big one, but pirates would be cool as well.
• 19:46
  Yeah, I think it's, it's a similar vibe, you know, would
• 19:51
  you, would it be kind of steampunk by BB going for there
• 19:53
  with with them or would it be more classic?
• 19:56
  I think classic sort of thing I think steampunk starts to creep
• 19:59
  into which is why I say not maybe yeah, yeah, and I think
• 20:03
  it'd be cool to have something completely different something
• 20:05
  period, but then introduced. That's why I went horror and or
• 20:10
  fantasy more than you know, maybe a sci-fi.
• 20:15
  I guess I guess steampunk might work in a sort of horror style
• 20:17
  thing as well, but. Oh yeah, totally.
• 20:19
  The idea of zombie and demon Cowboys is amazing how you've
• 20:22
  sold me completely on that. Both your ideas, in fact, are
• 20:25
  better than the two I've got listed.
• 20:26
  So yeah, make miles. Make miles.
• 20:28
  So samurai, Egyptian legions or what?
• 20:34
  I don't know what yes the first one is Eastern Legions, which is
• 20:40
  Samurai strangely enough. People would be disappointed,
• 20:42
  you know, if you didn't come out with.
• 20:44
  Actually I'm not covered Egyptian stuff here so I've let
• 20:46
  myself down badly, but. That's OK, I haven't covered
• 20:49
  them either. As a samurai actually garu like
• 20:52
  the foot soldiers with big round hats.
• 20:54
  Obviously you can do all sorts of stuff for that.
• 20:55
  And again, you can have different races.
• 20:57
  You don't necessarily need to be human.
• 20:58
  Although I wasn't reminding ninjas like horse like Mongol
• 21:02
  horse Archers, Indian warriors on elephant, specific island
• 21:06
  warriors, all that sort of stuff.
• 21:08
  It'd be quite cool. You could bring like yokai into
• 21:10
  it, couldn't you? Again, have that fantastic
• 21:12
  element and have things like that?
• 21:14
  That'd be awesome. Yeah, and then one of mine
• 21:18
  touched. Oh, sorry, you can't remember.
• 21:20
  I was going to say every I just finished watching Blue Eyed
• 21:22
  Samurai and whilst that doesn't have, you know, doesn't have
• 21:26
  demons in it as such, although there is an episode that there's
• 21:31
  something I must admit when I was thinking of this because I'd
• 21:37
  just been watching Blue Eyed Samurai, Samurai in East and
• 21:41
  sort of that era came to my mind as well.
• 21:44
  Like some really cool looking characters you could have.
• 21:49
  Sorry, Rich Carry. On No no, my second one.
• 21:52
  I don't know how this would work to be honest, but I've gone
• 21:54
  America's Legions but it's all different time periods so it'd
• 21:57
  have to be some sort of time travel element to make this work
• 22:00
  a storyline. Yeah.
• 22:02
  You know, they've got Jeremy doing the stories or, you know,
• 22:07
  in this supposed fictitious line.
• 22:10
  So yeah. So yes, you could have like the
• 22:12
  native North American tribes with the horses and all that
• 22:15
  sort of stuff. You got the Aztecs, Mayans, you
• 22:18
  can put the conquistadors in, there's somebody arriving and
• 22:21
  obviously threatening them. You can even go down the Cowboys
• 22:24
  route, which is what I put in mine as well, sort of thing,
• 22:26
  particularly time hopping and that sort of stuff.
• 22:28
  Isn't this this is kind of reminding me it's not of course
• 22:33
  the same, but figure obscure a vibe where where you get
• 22:36
  different types of characters that kind of go together as one
• 22:40
  line because you wouldn't necessarily say Headless
• 22:43
  Horseman and Monkey King in the same.
• 22:47
  No, you wouldn't be right. But you could have like your
• 22:51
  main characters, you call characters that go through this
• 22:54
  the waves and having so you could get say, I don't know, say
• 23:01
  whatever your main character is if he's in one wave where you
• 23:05
  found. A Native American chief or
• 23:06
  something? That's it.
• 23:07
  Or or, or, or either a cowboy or, you know, a soldier of that
• 23:11
  time and in one and then he's jumped into the next time and
• 23:15
  he's whatever there and that. So that'd be quite cool because
• 23:18
  you could get different versions of a character.
• 23:22
  All right, that Ma. Trying to be yeah, so.
• 23:25
  In in one time period, yeah, more like he's like the boss and
• 23:28
  the other time period he's just like, you know, the local
• 23:30
  butchers. Quantum Leap.
• 23:32
  But it is basically quantum leap, Quantum leap legions, yes.
• 23:40
  I mean, there might be a rights issue, but I'm sure we can work
• 23:42
  around that. Yeah, Yeah.
• 23:43
  Well, well see this, this is, you know, completely
• 23:45
  hypothetical. There is no license to be to be
• 23:48
  got for that, you know. But yeah, I'd really love the
• 23:51
  idea of like, yeah, Native American chief and then, as you
• 23:53
  say, in the next one, all of a sudden he's a soldier in the
• 23:55
  Union Army or the Confederate Army or something.
• 23:57
  And yeah, just pinging around sort of thing.
• 23:59
  That would be amazing. Cool, I've gone for if they make
• 24:06
  up their own superhero line. So it's a superhero line?
• 24:10
  That'd be cool. But like, you know, not
• 24:12
  infringing on any IP, so not making the Superman or whatever,
• 24:16
  but then inventing their own story back story.
• 24:19
  So you know, like the boys obviously.
• 24:21
  Did you know that is a superhero line or it's a story, you know,
• 24:24
  it's not the toy line isn't really a thing.
• 24:27
  I mean, they have a few few figures, but you know, this
• 24:30
  would be literally a superhero story made-up of made-up
• 24:33
  superheroes with particular powers and the Horsemen figures
• 24:37
  so superb. You know, it of course would be
• 24:41
  very difficult sell for them in a way that because there's so
• 24:44
  many other established superhero lines, so possibly wouldn't make
• 24:48
  sense. But you know, in a fantasy
• 24:50
  hypothetical world, I'd love to see their take even on just a
• 24:54
  few kind of superhero figures. Immediately what came to mind
• 24:58
  with that was Can you imagine the awesome capes and soft goods
• 25:02
  that see Jason could do for them as well?
• 25:04
  They'd be more simple than some of what he does now, but look
• 25:08
  incredible. Totally, totally.
• 25:10
  Yeah, right. Shall we move on?
• 25:13
  And so this is still Chris. And so he has a couple of he has
• 25:17
  questions then for directed at each of us.
• 25:20
  So Mal with legions con on the horizon and the fodder swap and
• 25:25
  pop and swap event. OK, the hood, it's called shoes
• 25:33
  in mind. Are there specific cosmic pieces
• 25:35
  you'd be looking for? So.
• 25:38
  Not particularly specific ones because I don't actually have
• 25:42
  loads of cosmic fodder. I've got bits.
• 25:47
  But I was, as I was thinking about this again, specs, Ian
• 25:50
  parts. I really don't have any of them.
• 25:51
  That cool. Excuse me?
• 25:56
  I'd say the most the most valuable parts in that scenario
• 25:59
  are the ones that generally you can't make us because of the
• 26:02
  articulated parts would be very. Valuable, yeah.
• 26:05
  Yeah, well, I'd hands, I'd love some specs, Ian, hands to do
• 26:08
  things with. And then outside of that, as
• 26:12
  much, yeah, I seem to be lacking lower legs and feet for some
• 26:17
  reason. I must have used more of them on
• 26:19
  things to than anything else. And the things I think
• 26:25
  unfortunately or fortunately will be on the list for a lot of
• 26:28
  people is the cloth arms and legs and leather gauntlets and
• 26:33
  things like that. In fact, they might be pretty
• 26:35
  impossible to get because I imagine a lot of people want to
• 26:38
  keep them for themselves anyway, but they'd be cool.
• 26:42
  Kind of what you'd be surprised at this type of event because I,
• 26:45
  I didn't have fodder last year, but I bought a few pieces of
• 26:49
  money because it was kind of more informal thing.
• 26:51
  And there was parts that I was just going, holy crap, I need
• 26:55
  these. And other people were like,
• 26:56
  yeah, sure, I have loads of them, you know?
• 26:58
  Oh wow. OK.
• 26:59
  Yeah, I think you just need to find your match, you know?
• 27:02
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah.
• 27:04
  So that that's anything and everything really.
• 27:10
  I don't know in cosmic if there's if there's parts that
• 27:13
  are only on one figure would be few and far between now, but
• 27:18
  that would be. I think only a couple of them
• 27:23
  have belts that don't have the pads on the sides.
• 27:27
  Yeah, that might be the one that is.
• 27:29
  I can't think who it is who does have that, but yeah, someone.
• 27:32
  Does and maybe female parts as well are a little bit if you're
• 27:37
  going to make female customs in cosmic, there isn't as many
• 27:42
  options for figures because even one of the female cousin Cali,
• 27:46
  and she's basically a mythic build apart from yeah, yeah.
• 27:50
  So that's some pieces, yeah. Vulgar parts would be good,
• 27:53
  actually. Yeah, I don't.
• 27:55
  I don't have any. Fog has gone.
• 27:59
  That's what you need. I've actually got a spare one of
• 28:01
  them. I'm like David.
• 28:06
  Right Rich if and when 4 horsemen do lizard men, how
• 28:10
  would you like them to be portrayed and details photos are
• 28:15
  oh. I'm just going to make myself
• 28:16
  comfortable. To be honest, To be honest, I'm
• 28:20
  pretty cold on holism, man. Ideas.
• 28:24
  Fine, fine. OK.
• 28:26
  And my questions. I've talked about this like.
• 28:31
  Lizards, yes. They are good point.
• 28:36
  Nobody will be surprised by these.
• 28:37
  I love the I mean they obviously can't do the warm aesthetic
• 28:40
  because that's IP protected. But this is the sort of this is
• 28:44
  the sort of look of my lizard men sort of thing.
• 28:46
  It's it's very primal. Lots of like weapons with like
• 28:51
  bone ends and that sort of stuff.
• 28:54
  Lots of bright colors. I mean here you've got the
• 28:56
  greens, the Blues, the Reds, gold armour, bone armour, all
• 29:00
  that sort of thing. And then I said before different
• 29:03
  sizes. You have little skinks, for
• 29:04
  instance, like top right picture through to read, big meaty brute
• 29:09
  scale sorts of lizards. Yeah, and just a variety of like
• 29:15
  face things. So like the bottom left picture
• 29:17
  there for anyone that's watching on YouTube.
• 29:19
  The lizard's got a thrilled neck piece.
• 29:20
  So again, that's just something a bit different that you could
• 29:22
  just put in one of them just to differentiate them a little bit.
• 29:26
  So this is the sort of thing I would want.
• 29:30
  Yeah, it's the vibe. I mean, of course they won't
• 29:32
  infringe on Warhammer IP, but the vibe, you know, there's,
• 29:35
  there's no, you can't put IP over a, you know, a lizard
• 29:39
  build. But but there's probably just
• 29:42
  particular things you couldn't do.
• 29:44
  Say, and if I just I just Google searched lizard men and
• 29:49
  obviously war load of Warhammer stuff comes up and then a load
• 29:51
  of other things that but they are, you know, they're obviously
• 29:54
  that similar sort of feel. So I must admit I wrote answers
• 29:58
  for other people's questions as well.
• 29:59
  So I Oh yeah, you think that of? Course chime in if you have
• 30:02
  answers for. I think they've made a great
• 30:04
  start with the bodies they've produced for tiger and and you
• 30:09
  know the what they've done so Fraxian Fraxians and even the
• 30:13
  the then the oak Oaka troll, no Oaka scale lizards, a great
• 30:18
  body. I mean, they've made.
• 30:19
  Lizards. Oh yeah, yeah, Oracle or and.
• 30:23
  Kragnar body and all. I think I would want just really
• 30:28
  colourful, brightly coloured again.
• 30:31
  They've started quite well with oranges, bright greens, bright
• 30:34
  Blues. I'd love them to carry that on.
• 30:37
  Maybe even more patterns on them than we've got at the moment.
• 30:42
  And I even have like a rank system with the different
• 30:44
  colours mouth. So you could have, you know,
• 30:45
  like the the warriors are blue, the mages are bright yellows or
• 30:50
  something. Yeah, that sort of thing.
• 30:53
  Yeah, of some sort. That would be cool.
• 30:55
  And I've I've gone I've said I'd quite like them to take a leaf
• 30:58
  out of the motu book. So was some with long necks,
• 31:01
  some with long arms, you know, the different, like you said,
• 31:05
  the fand. I think that'd be cool.
• 31:07
  And here's a question for you, Rich.
• 31:09
  What would you want the armor to look like?
• 31:12
  Would you want it to be nightly? You know, or I mean in a lot of
• 31:18
  the. I think that would work, but I
• 31:20
  think for me, the lizard men, the idea is the more primal sort
• 31:23
  of things, a bone armor or you know, the Mayan type sort of
• 31:28
  look to it. I mean there's no reason why you
• 31:30
  can't have lizard Knights, but I I'd want more basic primal sort
• 31:34
  of thing or like the Thraxian type look but for lizard men.
• 31:38
  It's funny because that's kind of how I think.
• 31:40
  I mean, my couple of savage Crucible lizards, as you know,
• 31:43
  have sort of gone much more barbarian esque.
• 31:49
  You know, I've put him in the and.
• 31:52
  No, just to be clear, no barbarian esque.
• 31:56
  Well now I know you wouldn't, but it's again that more prime,
• 31:59
  that more primal armour, isn't it?
• 32:01
  Yes, absolutely, yeah. Cloth and Leathers rather than
• 32:04
  and skins rather than. Yeah, in my head, lizard men
• 32:09
  aren't going to be like, you know, not advance isn't the
• 32:13
  right word, but not the sort of society where they're going to
• 32:16
  wear fancy stuff and this sort of stuff.
• 32:17
  It really is more ease the word, but it's more primal stuff.
• 32:20
  It's like, you know, we just come out of the forests.
• 32:24
  This is what we've got. You know we're going to rage
• 32:27
  your village. Type thing, yeah.
• 32:31
  Cool, right, Let's get on to the next questions.
• 32:39
  That's for me, he says. Pancakes or waffles?
• 32:47
  And then he also says I can't wait to see you guys at Legions
• 32:49
  Con and have some pints. Cheers fellas.
• 32:52
  So that's definitely absolutely reciprocated.
• 32:56
  And what I'd like is a waffles pancake and then I'll feed it to
• 33:00
  the cat. Poor waffles.
• 33:08
  I know. Oh.
• 33:09
  I did. Oh, who's talking about the the
• 33:12
  German? Sorry.
• 33:15
  And as we used to have a gerbil called pancake as well, I can't
• 33:18
  pick one or the other. It's not fair.
• 33:20
  That's right. Maybe he, maybe he remembered
• 33:24
  that, you know, because Chris is probably more attentively
• 33:28
  listening to you than I am. Oh yeah, maybe that's what the
• 33:34
  little winky face is. Yeah, it's definitely for
• 33:37
  waffles, but yeah, yeah, and even anyway, let's move along or
• 33:42
  we'll be here all night. Eugene eunuch Doctor Graham on
• 33:47
  the instance and his table is doctor dreams customs allegiance
• 33:51
  con. So he says multi part questions
• 33:54
  for each of you. So first for me, he says, what
• 33:58
  are your favorite customizing tools slash companies?
• 34:02
  So for me, I took this as more of the stuff I use and rather
• 34:06
  than like the third party companies.
• 34:08
  And so mostly is pro creative paint and for yeah, for many of
• 34:15
  the, you know, for most of the paint jobs, but I use a lot of
• 34:18
  contrast paint as well for, you know, different effects and when
• 34:22
  you need to get gradients, contrast paint can be good and
• 34:26
  or you know, for washes and stuff like that, but you can use
• 34:30
  the program paints thin down for that as well.
• 34:33
  But you know, contrast paints can be more vibrant and just
• 34:37
  have the colors maybe that you wanted.
• 34:41
  But there's so many good paint lines out now, you know, any of
• 34:44
  the new kind of Vallejo. So they have they have redone
• 34:47
  all their paint in the different lines.
• 34:49
  They're all good. They're all pretty much of A
• 34:52
  level. You've heard guys like Eric
• 34:54
  Miller who love them. So I mean, you know, they're not
• 34:57
  bad if people like Erica like them.
• 34:59
  The two thin coats. That's the guy that used to be
• 35:03
  one of the brand managers kind of painters for Warhammer on
• 35:07
  their YouTube Duncan roads. So his paints are basically the
• 35:10
  Citadel paints, but a little bit in dropper bottles, more matte
• 35:17
  kind of finish and does them on triads and stuff like this.
• 35:21
  So you get the, you know, three similar shades and you can, you
• 35:24
  know, use them in that kind of layering method to create really
• 35:28
  cool paint jobs. So the new Army Painter paints,
• 35:32
  the fanatic line that's also of the same level for people rave
• 35:36
  about them. I haven't had them myself, but
• 35:38
  you know, and then there's an alternative to contrast paints
• 35:41
  as Army Painter speed paint, also good.
• 35:44
  I found them a little bit smell. Just got a few to try a little
• 35:48
  bit smelly and a little bit different to use to contrast
• 35:53
  paint. So I would just have to learn
• 35:54
  how to use them a bit. And so I didn't find them enough
• 36:00
  better than contrast paint because they are a bit cheaper
• 36:03
  to bother with that. So I just because I had enough
• 36:05
  contrast paints, I just decided to continue that road.
• 36:09
  But I think if you were starting off, get the speed paints
• 36:13
  because they're cheaper than the contrast paints and they're
• 36:15
  they're just as good. I think that for metals, very
• 36:20
  specifically Valeo metal color, they come in these 60 milliliter
• 36:23
  bottles, so bigger. They're the best metals.
• 36:26
  They're not great for dry brushing because they're thin,
• 36:29
  but for everything else, amazing, amazing.
• 36:34
  The metals for dry brushing, you know, the Citadel or broker
• 36:39
  metals are good or the Valeo metals are good for dry
• 36:41
  brushing. But these metal colors are
• 36:43
  amazing, one coat coverage from metal.
• 36:47
  The only problem is they don't have a very good gold.
• 36:50
  So that kind of sucks. But hey.
• 36:56
  So then for priming, I used to use rat cans, but it was really
• 37:01
  even with the Citadel ones, you know, would often get kind of
• 37:08
  kind of a little bit of texture on the surface and stuff or
• 37:11
  whatever. It was just a bit annoying.
• 37:13
  So I switched to the airbrush surface primer from Valeo.
• 37:16
  It works perfectly. And I also use the Valeo varnish
• 37:21
  or the AK Interactive varnish is really good and they have a
• 37:26
  gloss and a matte varnish that's really good through the airbrush
• 37:29
  as well. And the thing about those is
• 37:31
  they mostly don't do anything to the colors when you varnish
• 37:35
  them. I find sometimes if you use
• 37:37
  rattle can varnish, you can get a good or a bad surprise after
• 37:42
  furnishing them. So, so that's that.
• 37:46
  So that's mostly the tools. I have loads of other stuff.
• 37:48
  I mean, the airbrush uses a harder and steam BIC airbrush,
• 37:53
  you know, but you don't need to use airbrush.
• 37:56
  I just like using it at this stage and you can do things a
• 37:59
  bit quicker, a bit easier, but there's nothing with the
• 38:02
  airbrush you can't really do with the with the paintbrush
• 38:07
  unless you're really, really, really good with the airbrush,
• 38:11
  you know? I do think, and again it
• 38:15
  probably does come with getting better and better with it.
• 38:17
  I do think you can perhaps get smoother blends.
• 38:21
  You. Can.
• 38:22
  Brush, yeah, possibly a quick, quicker, smoother.
• 38:25
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And maybe some of the things I
• 38:28
  do with the fluorescent paints are a lot easier with the with
• 38:32
  the brush because I do them sometimes with the brush and it
• 38:36
  takes ages because their coverage on the fluorescence is
• 38:39
  terrible. But with the airbrush it's
• 38:42
  better because it, you can do thinner, quicker layers with the
• 38:46
  airbrush. And right.
• 38:49
  And then the next part of that question was artistic
• 38:54
  inspirations for customizing. So I do like realistic and more
• 38:59
  than kind of cartoon style and I always have probably I grew up
• 39:04
  in the town I come from in Ireland is like a medieval town.
• 39:07
  So we have an old castle, an old Abbey town.
• 39:11
  It's a walled town, still has a lot of the town walls.
• 39:13
  So all of that kind of stuff was in my childhood.
• 39:17
  You get a lot of that in the UK as well.
• 39:19
  I guess you guys would be familiar with that.
• 39:22
  So I think that's where I probably definitely got the love
• 39:26
  for the kind of, you know, Knights and all that kind of
• 39:28
  stuff. And, you know, back when I was
• 39:31
  growing up, it was all around me.
• 39:33
  So, you know, and then for cosmic, just love bright colors,
• 39:39
  80s sci-fi, you know, definitely that's where the likes of the
• 39:42
  running Man, you know, that's the kind of color palette I'm
• 39:45
  thinking of for. And then maybe more cartoonish
• 39:49
  with the cosmic then, you know. Any comments on that, boys?
• 39:55
  Or should I continue the rest? He asks a similar question of
• 40:00
  us. I think you later.
• 40:01
  OK. And then favorite piece you've
• 40:07
  created and purchased? So the favorite piece I did is
• 40:12
  probably this one, the Walrus, just because it kind of came
• 40:16
  together so nicely and kind of look, I think this is the custom
• 40:21
  I did that looks like it could be a figure that you might buy
• 40:26
  more than a custom. So that's why I really like it.
• 40:30
  And it just came together nicely.
• 40:33
  And it was the first time I painted those cloth parts.
• 40:36
  So that was kind of cool as well to kind of do that.
• 40:39
  And it has this really cool torso piece from Anthony as
• 40:43
  well, as well as the head from Plantry Dog with the Walrus
• 40:46
  works really well. And the blunderbuss from Wolf
• 40:49
  King, so named after Nate Strong, I think.
• 40:53
  And I think Eric LeBron has this piece.
• 40:55
  I traded him that for one of his customs.
• 41:00
  So that's my favorite custom that I did and purchased.
• 41:05
  And I haven't purchased a lot of custom stuff because they do
• 41:09
  customs, but I did get some customs and trades like that.
• 41:12
  Cosmic one of Eric, Dennis Derby just gifted me his Jade Knight.
• 41:18
  So I have a Jade Knight. It's really cool and I've got
• 41:22
  heads from Eugene Samurai head that I need to put on a custom
• 41:27
  Blaze bare. I've got a Svexian head from him
• 41:29
  and Curtis. I've got a green orc head that
• 41:32
  actually is on an orc on my shelf.
• 41:34
  So they're the kind of ones that I have at the tip of my tongue.
• 41:40
  So they're the ones I went for right now.
• 41:46
  Give my I'll give my voice are breaking out after this
• 41:49
  question. What type of customs are your
• 41:52
  favorite to see made? Do you want me to do it in
• 41:55
  parts? Yeah, yeah.
• 41:57
  Yeah, I'll split it into yeah, I'll split it into mythics.
• 42:02
  I love seeing the creatures that people make, whether they're the
• 42:05
  fuzzy little creatures or gory things, horror themed that not
• 42:09
  gory. I actually put, I like sort of
• 42:12
  the gruesome sinister ones, although I'm not too fussed
• 42:15
  about them. I mean, loads of gore on them.
• 42:18
  But some, there's some, I mean, Leland does some incredible
• 42:24
  weird creatures. I love a lot of the stuff he
• 42:27
  does. Lenny Kingpin does a load of
• 42:31
  really cool ones. There's all sorts out there and
• 42:34
  cosmic anything and everything. I just love seeing what people
• 42:37
  come up with. You're on a cosmic dwarf kick
• 42:41
  now, aren't you? Well, yeah, there's some amazing
• 42:43
  dwarf ones coming out from different people.
• 42:45
  Noah Pratt, like Mark Calvo are the first ones that come to
• 42:49
  mind, but there's been a few. I like what Jeremy just did
• 42:56
  recently where he took the legs off the spawn and stuck.
• 43:01
  Then when he started he showed the picture of him cutting bits
• 43:04
  of like high. That's yeah, real serious
• 43:06
  customers going on. One of my favorite cosmic
• 43:08
  customs is from actually a while ago now from pre last year's
• 43:13
  legions carnies. Curtis did Darth Maul kind of
• 43:18
  character using a yeah, some sort of robotic legs that all
• 43:25
  King teased and then I don't think ever released.
• 43:28
  So yeah. Yeah, I really hope they do
• 43:32
  release those legs at some point because they were awesome, but.
• 43:34
  Was that the one that was that he did really glossy then, is
• 43:39
  that that one or was that a different?
• 43:41
  I can't remember, can't remember.
• 43:43
  Oh, and of course, but we're a bit biased with this one.
• 43:45
  He's recent paradigm and. Oh yeah.
• 43:50
  Incredible. That was the next level.
• 43:52
  It's amazing. Yeah, yeah.
• 43:55
  So yeah, I think anything and everything cosmic cool or the
• 44:02
  cuter. Noah and Eugene, I think I've
• 44:05
  posted their some paint jobs on the custom pieces we sent them
• 44:10
  which we will get to maybe next week.
• 44:13
  Didn't have chance to fit it in this week.
• 44:14
  So they are. Don't worry about that boys, we
• 44:18
  have. We love what you've done and we
• 44:21
  will definitely showcase them as soon as we get slot in the show,
• 44:27
  Right. And then the next part of the
• 44:29
  question, if you could have any piece commissioned from a
• 44:32
  customizer and it can't be a specific, a Legion specific
• 44:37
  characters, so like a custom Legion Star Wars character or
• 44:41
  something. What would you like to see?
• 44:44
  I think I then based on my answer to the first one, I have
• 44:47
  to go with something cowboy by western related, don't I?
• 44:51
  So either parts to make a cowboy, a full cowboy out of, I
• 44:56
  don't know, maybe boots and whatever or or if a full custom,
• 45:02
  say maybe Wyatt Earp would be cool.
• 45:05
  That story one of my favorite films as well.
• 45:08
  So yeah. I wonder, is Wyatt Earp
• 45:10
  something? Oh oh, from.
• 45:14
  Again, from the same story. Yeah, usually he was Wyatt
• 45:17
  Earp's friend. So yeah, the the OK Corral and
• 45:20
  all that sort of thing. I wonder if they're ever going
• 45:24
  to be, or are they public domain?
• 45:26
  Probably not. I don't know.
• 45:29
  I mean, they were really. Cool.
• 45:30
  So it might be humans are real people, yeah.
• 45:32
  Yeah, yeah, it might have. Artists might not work like
• 45:35
  that. Yeah.
• 45:36
  There you go. Could put it on the obscure
• 45:38
  list. Yeah.
• 45:41
  And what are your artistic inspirations for your
• 45:44
  customizing? There you go.
• 45:45
  Sorry I didn't see. That yeah, that is cool.
• 45:48
  Anything and your favorite. Piece created and customized as
• 45:51
  well. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 45:53
  So inspiration is anything and everything I'll watch.
• 45:57
  I mean, a lot of Games Workshop stuff I watch sort of the minis
• 46:01
  they produce and as, but as well as watching people paint them
• 46:07
  will give me ideas. Watching the Beetlejuice.
• 46:14
  There's AI don't want to say in case it's a bit of a spoiler.
• 46:17
  It was a nice little cameo, but the, the makeup they give to
• 46:21
  some of the dead people, you start going all that'd be quite
• 46:24
  cool to try and replicate that on their head or something like
• 46:27
  that. I've watched a lot of sci-fi
• 46:32
  fantasy and horror in my time. So, you know, you, you, you call
• 46:36
  back some of that. You look watch some of that,
• 46:39
  Yeah. And then and something that I've
• 46:43
  stopped watching, I should probably watch more of.
• 46:45
  Again, he's anime and manga. I used to watch loads of that.
• 46:47
  So Akira is one of my all time favourites.
• 46:50
  But then I've never sort of moved away from that.
• 46:54
  And then on to favorite pieces created and customized.
• 46:57
  So again, I've split it to mythic and cosmic and he's not
• 47:00
  finished. So this guy would be my
• 47:02
  favorite. Come on.
• 47:04
  Yeah, he's, I know he's lacking. I need a an ultramarine blue
• 47:09
  skirt piece to give him to cover his bum and then he finished
• 47:14
  it's. Truly.
• 47:15
  Well, this is yeah, I need some. Oh.
• 47:16
  This is the famous shield, isn't it?
• 47:18
  Yeah, yeah, with the Golden knob shield, it's meant to be a
• 47:22
  Warhammer, but you know, with Rich and John, who needs
• 47:25
  enemies? But yeah.
• 47:32
  He he would and will probably once he's finished, be my
• 47:36
  favorite. But as things stand as a
• 47:38
  completed one, it was actually one of the first ones I did with
• 47:41
  like a kit. It was the Flayer set that
• 47:44
  Jeremy created and they sold on Legion shop and I kind of just.
• 47:50
  Awesome. It is awesome, yeah.
• 47:51
  Yeah, Jeremy's paint Apple, I say copied, did my version and
• 47:55
  added like inspired me. Yeah, I'm thinking he might get
• 47:59
  an upgrade, although might not work with the feet.
• 48:03
  You might get an upgrade when the Thraxians come out and then
• 48:05
  you can have more wooden parts. Absolutely, yeah.
• 48:09
  In Cosmino bride fighters. I like bride fighters in cosmic.
• 48:16
  I got this head from a meal. I always have one nearby Ridge.
• 48:23
  Amazing. No, it's all right.
• 48:26
  It's all right. I got I got this head from Emil
• 48:30
  at legions car. Oh, that's awesome, Head.
• 48:33
  Yeah. I'm a little salty dog.
• 48:35
  When you close to that, yeah. Just because it was an epic bit
• 48:39
  of repainting all the armour and of course, stupidly I picked
• 48:41
  yellow, but I think it came out really well.
• 48:44
  And then from a cutting bits up and you know, doing something a
• 48:49
  bit fun. My Geiger inspired customer, I
• 48:53
  really like, I really like the paint app.
• 48:56
  I mean, the one thing I'd like to go back and do is do
• 49:00
  something a bit different here with the pipes because they're
• 49:03
  not finished very well, give the secrets away, they're not
• 49:05
  finished very well where they go into the belt.
• 49:08
  So I'd like to perhaps go back and revisit him at some point.
• 49:11
  Well, as you're not telling them, well, no, that's that's
• 49:15
  fine. It's from my own personal enjoy.
• 49:18
  Need to worry about people knowing the flaws or are
• 49:24
  perceived flaws. I should say I'm sure they're
• 49:26
  they're not really flaws, you're just being so critical.
• 49:29
  I like, I like to make sure things, that's the one thing I
• 49:31
  like to try and do with my customs is make sure they're,
• 49:34
  they're finished and you could move them around as much as you
• 49:39
  could with a, you know, a normal figure.
• 49:42
  I try and finish them like that, yeah.
• 49:46
  Excellent, right, Rich, as someone that purchases a lot of
• 49:54
  custom pieces, don't tell Mrs. Jones what stands out to you as
• 49:59
  something that makes you want to go.
• 50:02
  I want it for. Me it's it's a race or even a
• 50:06
  character type that I love so and that we don't have official
• 50:10
  ones for generally. So lizard men head sculpts, for
• 50:13
  instance, werewolves, and that's sort of is.
• 50:17
  That these pictures you sent me, no.
• 50:19
  Not yet, no. No jumping ahead, John.
• 50:21
  Jumping ahead already. Or then also something that made
• 50:29
  me allow me to create a new faction.
• 50:31
  So we've had lots of shark heads for people recently.
• 50:34
  We've had lots of cybernetic cephalopod heads.
• 50:37
  Go, John, go pictures you go. No, that's.
• 50:45
  You go. No, that's all.
• 50:47
  I haven't this one, I think. Oh, there's one.
• 50:48
  There we go. Yeah.
• 50:50
  So this sort of thing, for instance, it's just a gaggle of
• 50:54
  cephalopod heads and like this Cybernetic 1.
• 50:58
  So I've already got a cybernetic cephalopod fact affiliation
• 51:02
  rather planned out in Cosmics. Looking to pick up some lovely
• 51:07
  painted versions of a lot of these.
• 51:08
  Hopefully the heads that legions con.
• 51:10
  Who does these particular ones? Or this is a mixture?
• 51:14
  It's a mixture, so it's. The GN art has done a few of
• 51:18
  them there. Yeah, he's so GNR is one that
• 51:21
  there's a lot of stuff for Wolf King, Wolf King and this sort of
• 51:25
  stuff. Yeah, and he's worked with.
• 51:30
  I know Josh, is it Josh Brown custom sell them and somebody
• 51:34
  else Rocket Fist customs. I think of the two people that
• 51:37
  sell these and they sort of worked with him over them sort
• 51:40
  of thing. So, you know, you've got got one
• 51:42
  there with like an eye thing and a breathe mask.
• 51:44
  And so it's that sort of thing that makes me go wow, you know,
• 51:47
  I think that's all one of these original brilliant.
• 51:49
  I can have a a cosmic cephalopod.
• 51:53
  And then it's like, what can another one?
• 51:54
  What can another one? OK.
• 51:55
  And then all of a sudden I got an entire faction plan back with
• 51:59
  enemies for them and all this sort of these are the bad guys
• 52:01
  and then, you know, some good guys them to fight and that sort
• 52:04
  of stuff. So yeah, something that
• 52:06
  something that makes you think, right, OK, I can make a little
• 52:08
  faction with that. Like I've got a cosmic faction
• 52:11
  with three spider people in, you know, just, I wouldn't have
• 52:15
  thought that, but the spider heads sort of shine.
• 52:17
  I was like, yeah, they're really cool, actually.
• 52:19
  And then what can I do with them?
• 52:22
  So that's that's advice to the to the custom makers or the
• 52:27
  custom piece makers is is, you know, do do a kind of a group of
• 52:32
  things that go together. In order to know my wallet can't
• 52:35
  take it. But yes, if you want to sell to
• 52:37
  me then. Yeah.
• 52:37
  In order to maximize your business from Rich, Yeah, yeah.
• 52:42
  And it's it's if I see something that I can, I've written here,
• 52:44
  like see the bio sort of thing. So as soon as I see it ahead,
• 52:47
  it's like, yeah, I know what I'm going to do with that.
• 52:50
  And it won't necessarily be, I know the exact body or whatever,
• 52:52
  but I just the way my brain works is that I'll instantly
• 52:56
  I'll see something and go, yeah, that's going to be that sort of
• 52:59
  character. I'm going to do that with him
• 53:03
  and then something and then lastly, something that will
• 53:05
  stand out in the collection. And if you're back to the first
• 53:08
  picture in this set, John, that one.
• 53:11
  So this is possibly my all time favorite 3D sculpt out there.
• 53:15
  It's a my action figure customs one.
• 53:18
  It's called the Warlord. I think I've got 3 or 4
• 53:21
  different painted versions of this.
• 53:22
  I've got one that matches that was Scaphoid got on this on a
• 53:26
  Gladiator, which is for sale on the Jones 1234 if anyone's
• 53:29
  interested. But it's just, it's just a
• 53:32
  different take. So it's a zombie.
• 53:34
  You can see the sort of flesh coming off the chin and that
• 53:36
  sort of stuff. But at the same time, it's like
• 53:38
  really dark look with just, you know, the visor with just the
• 53:41
  little eye holes and the horns and that sort of thing.
• 53:44
  And you know, as soon as I saw that was like, that's really
• 53:46
  going to stand out on my shelf. Whatever body I put it on,
• 53:49
  that's going to stand out. So that's again, that's
• 53:51
  something that I look for. It's something that gives you
• 53:53
  the like the wow factor and like, yeah, I'll be able to spot
• 53:55
  that at a distance. And the next part of the
• 53:59
  question is, are you, is there any pieces you have regretted
• 54:02
  not purchasing or just out on? There are two and they're the
• 54:07
  next two pictures, so no. No, I bought a lot.
• 54:11
  That was my point, yeah. So my actually make a customs
• 54:16
  just before I got into the customizing side of things, did
• 54:21
  these I think they were yeah, the sebadom sculpts and there's
• 54:26
  a range of temple heads and they re released one where he's got
• 54:29
  the beard, which I've got and he's a great head.
• 54:32
  But this is this is like arrogant smirk that this one's
• 54:35
  got. And yeah, they never.
• 54:36
  Released it, I kept. Asking whenever they did a pole
• 54:38
  going who wants to see what re released them?
• 54:41
  Me and Joe from the enablers the two of us get asking them to re
• 54:46
  release this one and they didn't.
• 54:47
  So this is one I kick myself for.
• 54:50
  And then if you go on to the next one, John?
• 54:53
  Yeah. Sure.
• 54:54
  So this one is a prop Masters head that they designed for mere
• 54:59
  player that people remember mere play.
• 55:01
  I was quite big in the scene for a while and then just vanished
• 55:05
  into thin air sort of thing. But he did.
• 55:06
  It and his match. Yes, he did it as a you can't
• 55:10
  sell it to anybody else. I just want you to design this
• 55:12
  for me sort of thing. And it's got like horns, like a
• 55:16
  peeled skin, face mask and this sort of stuff.
• 55:20
  And I desperately wanted to use it as a fallen Angel in my
• 55:24
  display, but I contact these emails, emails like, no, we
• 55:27
  can't sell it. You know, it's exclusive to Mer
• 55:30
  play sort of things. So yeah, those are the two, the
• 55:33
  only two really, that I keep stuff in the backside, but I
• 55:35
  didn't buy them sooner. OK, it's not too bad.
• 55:38
  It's not too bad. If you could only go to a few
• 55:42
  tables at Legions Con this year, who would you say are the must
• 55:46
  go to? For to you, for you personally.
• 55:50
  And we have more picks for these, don't we?
• 55:52
  We do. Can I just I'll say straight
• 55:53
  from the off that I'm trying to keep this relatively short and
• 55:57
  usually me. So there are an awful lot more
• 55:59
  tables that I won't mention that I will definitely go to know me.
• 56:03
  I'll almost certainly buy stuff from as well sort of thing.
• 56:06
  This is not a, you know, this is just a few things.
• 56:08
  So these are a couple of Future Past customs figures from last
• 56:12
  year. Like, I don't know, we're
• 56:16
  selling them and they may not well be selling on this year
• 56:17
  sort of thing, but they were in the far the backroom sort of
• 56:20
  thing last year. Just incredible paint jobs on
• 56:24
  that screaming undead zombie, the Egyptian style thing on the
• 56:30
  right and yeah, you know, on the left you've got the, I guess
• 56:33
  it's eventually skeletal, all that sort of thing because they
• 56:36
  had a lot of MOTU inspired stuff with the skulls coming out on
• 56:40
  the chain, you know, just jaw-dropping.
• 56:42
  On the chain are awesome. Yeah, just jaw-dropping figures.
• 56:47
  So yeah, I'm very much looking to see what they've got.
• 56:50
  Part of me is hoping they're not selling because I bought almost
• 56:53
  certainly end up buying something if they are because
• 56:55
  it's so good. But that's one of you gone to
• 56:59
  the next one, John. So on the left, this is dirt
• 57:04
  Nagle Dirk Designs. Dirk was just down the the aisle
• 57:07
  from us last year and he just had some bonkers pieces.
• 57:11
  So these 3 here are the three that I bought from him.
• 57:14
  The three painted ones I bought from him.
• 57:15
  So you've got this weird like alien sea creature one on the
• 57:20
  top left there and that's that fits very well on a cosmic body.
• 57:25
  I just decided on a color scheme for the thing to use on the
• 57:27
  century. So on the color scheme to go
• 57:29
  with that incredibly fragile. Bless him, he was he was like
• 57:33
  wrapping up in like, you know, different bits going to be
• 57:36
  careful with these and this. Sort of stuff.
• 57:37
  A lot of a lot of spiky bits and stuff.
• 57:40
  There is, yes. Getting that out a photograph
• 57:43
  earlier, it was just like, Oh my God, don't break it, don't break
• 57:45
  it, don't break it. Then bottom left, there's a tree
• 57:49
  man and I think, I think I've seen somebody else with this.
• 57:50
  I was not sure it's Dirk's own design, but again, it's just a
• 57:53
  really cool tree man sculpt. I didn't see anywhere else
• 57:56
  painted it really well. And then there's like an undead
• 57:59
  Bay of the Dead type, you know, Cinco de Mayo, whatever it is.
• 58:05
  Sorry if I've insulted anyone that with that pronunciation,
• 58:08
  but that sort of head as well. So he's just got some really
• 58:10
  unique stuff. So I'll definitely going to Dirk
• 58:13
  Six on the right hand, but. What I remember from Dirk last
• 58:16
  year, apart from his awesome stuff, was his his heads rack
• 58:19
  was about 3 feet tall. It was, yes.
• 58:23
  It was massive. And he had two didn't, he didn't
• 58:26
  have one painted one and one unpainted stuff.
• 58:28
  So, yeah, yeah. Got Blaze here on the right.
• 58:34
  And then Blaze on the right, yeah, you can stop in the
• 58:35
  background that their Blaze, he likes taking them against this
• 58:37
  sort of thing. So I will definitely be visiting
• 58:39
  Blaze to buy something from him. Just some awesome stuff.
• 58:43
  I mean that that top right sculpt is just bonkers brain.
• 58:46
  So I'll be getting one of those allegiance come be it from Blaze
• 58:50
  or somebody else. I will be buying a painted one
• 58:52
  of those if people have got them because it's just crazy.
• 58:55
  But yeah, so Blaze, the picture on the left hand side is Brian
• 58:59
  CI. Love Brian's stuff because it's
• 59:02
  just bonkers and bonkers works for me.
• 59:06
  The top left one here is a mantis shrimp.
• 59:09
  So if you ever see mantis shrimps, they're like really
• 59:11
  nasty predators, but they're really ornate thing.
• 59:13
  And he's gone as vaccine body and I've been eyeing that one up
• 59:16
  on his eBay so for about two years.
• 59:17
  And then we put it on the specs and it's like, I can finally buy
• 59:20
  one. I know how to use it.
• 59:21
  Yeah, he does some awesome. So the two top ones in the
• 59:24
  middle there are like this grunge sci-fi sort of things to
• 59:30
  the helmet, quite alien esque, I guess in terms of that.
• 59:34
  And there's like a robot head next to it.
• 59:38
  Then he did this awesome like I think it's likely to be
• 59:41
  Carpathian or that sort of area night helmet with the long
• 59:45
  chainmail underneath. That's really cool.
• 59:48
  And then below he's got the bonkers stuff right, really
• 59:50
  bonkers stuff. So you've got a skate head on
• 59:53
  the middle 1. So again, my my underwater
• 59:56
  faction. Then there's a catfish, the one
• 59:59
  on the right, which is just I think it's I might be Wells
• 1:00:02
  catfish. It's just amazing.
• 1:00:04
  And then just a really weird helmet on the left there.
• 1:00:06
  So Brian is definitely. Somebody's table, I'll be going
• 1:00:10
  to pictures on the right of Borderland Horde.
• 1:00:13
  We weren't too far from us at all, which is a good and bad.
• 1:00:18
  So there's like a in a pharaoh Egyptian style thing in space on
• 1:00:22
  the top left there like a Sphinx type head, but a cosmic version
• 1:00:26
  of that. That's going to be part of my
• 1:00:27
  Templars of Doom. Then they've got this really
• 1:00:31
  cool little salamander mage set. So there's the torso, the head,
• 1:00:36
  and the pauldrons. I'm hoping someone's got painted
• 1:00:38
  set on a figure there because that might break my don't buy
• 1:00:41
  any painted custom figures rule. Yeah.
• 1:00:45
  And then the three on the right hand side, far right, are all
• 1:00:48
  cybernetic sea creatures. They may be the enemies of the
• 1:00:52
  of the cephalopods, the hammerhead shark, a swordfish,
• 1:00:56
  and the shark. The Salamander dude actually
• 1:01:00
  fits really well with what we were looking at from the
• 1:01:04
  Warhammer stuff. It does.
• 1:01:05
  It fits really well within it, Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 1:01:09
  And it's designed for 2.0 body as well, So it's designed for
• 1:01:11
  the smaller sort of body. So yeah.
• 1:01:13
  I think that look at that would be really cool.
• 1:01:15
  Actually I like the. Shark.
• 1:01:17
  Yeah, Oh, I like the robot. Because he's my favorite there.
• 1:01:22
  Might have to try and get one of them.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah, definitely, definitely right.
• 1:01:27
  That's your. That was it for the pictures.
• 1:01:29
  And then very, very tailed. Yeah, very quickly.
• 1:01:32
  Here's all the other tables at least.
• 1:01:36
  That's why I said at the start there's people I won't mention
• 1:01:38
  that I'll buy stuff from. So Noah or I didn't get it from
• 1:01:40
  Noah last year. Haven't got a couple of things
• 1:01:41
  from the year before, but I really particularly love his
• 1:01:44
  like human flesh stones that he does.
• 1:01:46
  He's I want to try and get. Yeah, yes, I want to try and get
• 1:01:50
  one of one of his human flesh stone heads.
• 1:01:52
  Immortal Collections. Carl and Tristan both awesome.
• 1:01:56
  He's going to be bankrupt because we're with them, aren't
• 1:01:58
  we? Say yeah.
• 1:02:02
  But they've always always got a real cool collection of like
• 1:02:04
  quirky heads and some cool soft goods as well.
• 1:02:08
  Detour customs, Steph's buyers again, you know, going to watch
• 1:02:11
  out for flying goblins with his catapults, what he's got.
• 1:02:15
  And then lastly, art, who's on the far end of he can't be any
• 1:02:19
  further away from us. I don't think where he is this
• 1:02:20
  year in the legions combat again, just really dynamic
• 1:02:24
  displays, constantly changing up his display and some fabulous
• 1:02:26
  painted pieces. But as I said, the other people
• 1:02:29
  I will buy from. Yeah, and we're going to, you
• 1:02:34
  know, do a few episodes in the run up to legions con obviously
• 1:02:36
  with with people that we want to talk to.
• 1:02:38
  And of course we won't get to everyone either.
• 1:02:41
  We're definitely going to do a few people of the people around
• 1:02:44
  us because we have a kind of a thing going on with this first
• 1:02:48
  alliance. So if there's anyone in
• 1:02:52
  particular you'd like us to get on that you maybe don't think
• 1:02:55
  would be on another show, especially, shout it out to us.
• 1:03:00
  And of course, we're going to try and pick a few of the ones
• 1:03:03
  that we want to feature. No, no pressure on me then John
• 1:03:06
  as the Booker, someone asks me, is a random.
• 1:03:09
  Person, I mean, if they're not paying us to have them on, you
• 1:03:12
  know, if it doesn't, if they're not able to make it on or if the
• 1:03:16
  scheduling doesn't work, that's one thing or another.
• 1:03:18
  But you know, we, we might, you know, kind of in our ignorance,
• 1:03:22
  just Passover somebody and then somebody tells us, Oh, no, you
• 1:03:25
  should definitely speak to them. Well, you know, I'll just be
• 1:03:31
  having the trauma of like people speaking on their phones and
• 1:03:34
  with no microphones and that out from my own OCD, you know, I'm
• 1:03:39
  sure the listener doesn't. While while playing the guitar,
• 1:03:46
  I'm just like asking, but I can answer all the questions and
• 1:03:48
  there's like there's one man band things with the symbols go
• 1:03:51
  in and everything right? Are we on to Kevin Boots then
• 1:03:58
  we. Are.
• 1:04:00
  Right, we're ever we're going slower than I thought.
• 1:04:03
  So we've got to get a move on here without shortchanging the
• 1:04:07
  questions, of course, or else it'll be another listeners
• 1:04:10
  questions episode next week. And so Kevin M Boots, he says,
• 1:04:17
  what are you looking first is a couple of questions here.
• 1:04:19
  So the first one is what are you looking forward to when you make
• 1:04:22
  it to the states? So for me, friendly people for
• 1:04:28
  the most part friendly whether it's real or fake I don't care.
• 1:04:33
  Friendly is good and English people speaking English speaking
• 1:04:39
  English without any guilt. Now I know there's other places
• 1:04:42
  you can do that, but in my situation not.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah, not common. I have to do so much talking in
• 1:04:49
  languages that I'm not very good at or that break my brain trying
• 1:04:53
  to be good at that just relaxing my brain and speaking English to
• 1:04:58
  everything is very easy. Very much looking forward to
• 1:05:04
  that's my 2 main things. I hope you cover some some more
• 1:05:08
  substantive stuff than that boys.
• 1:05:10
  Well, I'm. Looking forward to going to the
• 1:05:12
  liquor store with you too and seeing if I can bake.
• 1:05:13
  Break my time last year, but it takes me to pick beer.
• 1:05:18
  We just have to go at like lunchtime or something.
• 1:05:24
  And I'm also looking forward to eating in the pub in the in the
• 1:05:26
  hotel again, which is really sad, but the food was really
• 1:05:28
  nice in there. I'm looking.
• 1:05:30
  Forward to that. It's funny because food is what
• 1:05:32
  I've said, I've sort of said problem with the location of the
• 1:05:36
  hotel is one of the things I look forward to about visiting
• 1:05:40
  the States is trying the food that I can't necessarily get
• 1:05:43
  over here. So, but of course, because the
• 1:05:47
  location makes it difficult, so outside and time makes it
• 1:05:53
  difficult to do some of these things you would do as, oh, I'm
• 1:05:57
  in the US, this isn't something we can do in the UK.
• 1:06:01
  So it's kind of, it's seeing the people again, as ever, isn't it?
• 1:06:05
  And the people, our friends that we've made through the
• 1:06:08
  community. But yeah, if I can convince
• 1:06:11
  someone to take me to Panda Express and Jersey Mike's again,
• 1:06:15
  that would be a win. Jersey Mike's is given Yeah,
• 1:06:19
  yeah, I didn't mention some of the obvious things, obviously.
• 1:06:21
  Obviously it's taken for granted.
• 1:06:23
  The main thing that, yes, hanging out with the people,
• 1:06:27
  yeah, America specifically, is what I was I.
• 1:06:30
  Think Yeah, Yeah. Well, that's that's what I sort
• 1:06:32
  of say about the food. But yeah.
• 1:06:35
  American hugs have been another one for me.
• 1:06:37
  Oh yeah, they. Don't seem to have any
• 1:06:38
  boundaries with regards to hugs, which is both a good and bad
• 1:06:41
  thing, but mainly good. So I'm looking forward to the
• 1:06:44
  hoax. I'm looking forward to the hoax,
• 1:06:45
  yeah. Well, don't go well, you should
• 1:06:46
  come over here because rich to be kissing and all sorts.
• 1:06:50
  No boundaries here. You know one of the first job
• 1:06:54
  like this, not criticism. One of the first jobs I worked
• 1:06:56
  over years years ago now nearly 20 years ago and there was a
• 1:07:00
  French guy He came in every morning and was put 20 people in
• 1:07:02
  the office. He went around to everyone's
• 1:07:03
  desk and shook their head before he said, you know, we probably
• 1:07:07
  lost I don't know how many hours a year of work.
• 1:07:12
  But my first week there, I felt the most welcome person ever
• 1:07:15
  because this guy who turned out to be like, just the kind of IT
• 1:07:18
  guy, I thought he was someone important.
• 1:07:21
  I was shaking my hand every morning.
• 1:07:24
  IT guys are important. I'll just to clarify that
• 1:07:26
  statement. From, you know, the deputy
• 1:07:28
  managing director or something, you know the way he was going
• 1:07:31
  on. Were important when something
• 1:07:33
  breaks, I'll tell you that. Otherwise, they're trying to get
• 1:07:36
  rid of you. I was an IT person as well, so
• 1:07:39
  you know at that point. So just so you know.
• 1:07:42
  Whereas I'm a total Luddite. So yeah.
• 1:07:45
  Yeah, if your IT breaks, don't ask me.
• 1:07:47
  But you're sitting on the podcast speaking into a
• 1:07:50
  microphone, looking at a screen, so you're not that bad and.
• 1:07:53
  I haven't hit the microphone yet this week.
• 1:07:56
  At one point whole thing came away from the table, but luckily
• 1:07:59
  I was on mute at that point so that was fine.
• 1:08:01
  I was able to set that. Before we started recording, but
• 1:08:04
  I, I, I'm not going. To do that extreme, John, don't.
• 1:08:09
  Touch them. Wow.
• 1:08:14
  No, I mean, of course, you know, just to set the, you know, like
• 1:08:18
  the kid, you know, don't misbehave now when?
• 1:08:21
  Your granny comes you. Know Granny will be here in 5
• 1:08:24
  minutes, You know, tuck in your shirt.
• 1:08:30
  Yeah, microphone whacking out of the way first.
• 1:08:33
  There we go. So we've covered what we're
• 1:08:36
  looking forward to in America, Yes.
• 1:08:38
  Keeps on track. And what I'm not looking forward
• 1:08:41
  to is that it's the day after the election I'm arriving
• 1:08:46
  without getting into the the whole thing, it doesn't.
• 1:08:48
  And in a way the the the result doesn't depend on what that's
• 1:08:52
  going to be like it I think either result is just going to
• 1:08:55
  be this, it's going to change a little bit the atmosphere, so.
• 1:09:00
  Yeah, I think unfortunately. Yeah.
• 1:09:03
  So anyway, and which unreleased figure are you looking forward
• 1:09:08
  to most? And so anyone got, what do you
• 1:09:13
  got for that now? Have you got anything in the
• 1:09:15
  cosmic? Yeah, I have.
• 1:09:17
  Of course I have Mythic Dwarf Builder and or Atlas 2.0 and.
• 1:09:23
  He's got he's got 2 of. Yeah, well, of course it's me.
• 1:09:27
  It has to donor. He's got a 2 pack and then
• 1:09:31
  another figure. And cosmic, it's Kern Ray all
• 1:09:38
  the way. Cannot wait together.
• 1:09:41
  Ray all the way. Rich, what you got?
• 1:09:45
  This Pitar in terms of mythics I'm I'm slightly biased as.
• 1:09:49
  He's been a little circle moment up.
• 1:09:51
  On the stage with them. But he's such a cool figure.
• 1:09:53
  I can't wait to get him. Yeah, and and the Cosmics is
• 1:09:57
  probably going to be is it Korg the Simeon in the space suit
• 1:10:01
  they revealed recently my favorite cosmic figure without a
• 1:10:05
  doubt. So I can't wait to get that.
• 1:10:07
  Brilliant. And so I did have the Dwarf 2
• 1:10:10
  pack as well. Oh, we we go warm, warm.
• 1:10:14
  But it, as Mal has already mentioned it, I could, I could
• 1:10:17
  maybe pick another one. And so let's go for the
• 1:10:21
  tuberculae because that's something different.
• 1:10:23
  Yeah, very. And something that's, you know,
• 1:10:27
  there's going to be other possibilities of the tuberculae.
• 1:10:30
  And for Cosmic, I went with Anta Phillies, which is the buzz off
• 1:10:35
  tribute. Yeah, there's lots of them
• 1:10:37
  there. That whole wave.
• 1:10:39
  I'm still buzzing off it. Hi Laura, I fun a little bit of
• 1:10:43
  an underrated 1. No pun intended with the buzzing
• 1:10:46
  of it. I.
• 1:10:51
  Missed it? My wallet is sobbing.
• 1:10:54
  I can hear it. I can hear it in the hall now.
• 1:10:56
  It is breaking down crying. I saw, I saw it was the wrong
• 1:11:00
  button and I still just said, oh, that's.
• 1:11:02
  A little work, little work. Little work.
• 1:11:05
  Yeah, exactly right. Besides lizard men.
• 1:11:11
  So you just knew that's what you'd say, Rich.
• 1:11:13
  So you have to put in a disclaimer.
• 1:11:15
  But when someone's saying besides Elizabeth, it means you
• 1:11:18
  need to shut up about them. What kind of race?
• 1:11:22
  I'm not going to like one of the T-shirt that I get made.
• 1:11:27
  I'm sure they will. So besides, it's their man.
• 1:11:29
  What kind of race would you introduce to the lines?
• 1:11:34
  So I'll go with a proper race of cat people with specific lore
• 1:11:40
  and everything and different because now I know we do have
• 1:11:43
  like Balaam and then obviously a few other reuses of that head
• 1:11:48
  and including Kai Patchett. But just a specific race of cat
• 1:11:52
  people. It's almost like a little
• 1:11:53
  Thundercats faction, but not Thundercats within legions, you
• 1:11:58
  know, so different, you know, like a man Coon type head, you
• 1:12:02
  know, and maybe a lion, maybe a tiger, maybe cheetah, that kind
• 1:12:06
  of stuff. Yeah.
• 1:12:07
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:12:11
  Rich, what you got? Mine would be a webby snake
• 1:12:14
  faction. No, not snake men, web beasts.
• 1:12:17
  So obviously, yeah, but like where tigers, you know, where
• 1:12:23
  all sorts of other stuff. You know any sort of animal that
• 1:12:25
  you can turn into a big Fang thing, then I'd, I'd love that.
• 1:12:30
  And would they be wearing armor? Hey.
• 1:12:34
  Some some wood and some would just be brutes and just naked as
• 1:12:38
  the day they were turned. Very good.
• 1:12:41
  Well, did we take your answer Mal or?
• 1:12:43
  No, I've gone back to my original first.
• 1:12:48
  Yeah, in if it was comedy, it'd be a callback crustacean people.
• 1:12:53
  So the fish is again, Yeah, one that I know Richard loves.
• 1:12:57
  But I think that would be a really cool faction.
• 1:13:00
  To see do you think? Fish people.
• 1:13:02
  I think specifically I'd like the kind of more shellfish type
• 1:13:06
  fish. I think yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:11
  Like of course. Give me Fishman, I'm down as
• 1:13:14
  well. You know, different types, like
• 1:13:16
  we saw the couple of the ones Brian see had there or the
• 1:13:18
  borderland hordeheads. But yeah, crustaceans are just
• 1:13:23
  awesome. You know the shell shell dudes.
• 1:13:27
  Cosmic it's. Robots.
• 1:13:29
  Again. I know, Rich.
• 1:13:29
  Oh, that more robots? Yeah.
• 1:13:32
  You really need more cyborgs. Yeah.
• 1:13:34
  Yeah, I didn't think of one for cosmic actually, I just I got
• 1:13:38
  focused, but you can put the cap people in space.
• 1:13:40
  That's yeah. Aquatic aliens.
• 1:13:43
  There we go. That's cosmic sorted.
• 1:13:46
  Or wearing. The best thing about Cosmic is
• 1:13:48
  you can just you can just put any type in a spacesuit.
• 1:13:51
  Exactly that, isn't it? Yeah, of course you can do the
• 1:13:54
  the figures well, but you could just put the, you know, like
• 1:13:57
  that cog guy you were talking about from the recent one.
• 1:14:00
  I mean, it's a simian, but it's the space suit with the pair of
• 1:14:04
  hands. Oh.
• 1:14:08
  Sorry, had a moment there. Just a, really.
• 1:14:14
  That sound as we he. Opened the wrong He opened the
• 1:14:18
  wrong tab on the computer. Didn't he went into the private
• 1:14:23
  Incognito tabs or whatever there?
• 1:14:26
  Wouldn't it be cool if the next, I mean it's a little way off, I
• 1:14:29
  imagine. Now the next MOTU tribute is
• 1:14:32
  Slush Head. Oh yes, there you go.
• 1:14:37
  There you go. Oh yeah, they have pretty much
• 1:14:40
  everything for that except maybe the head.
• 1:14:42
  But yeah, that can be by the time they maybe have released
• 1:14:47
  aquatic heads, we we get something that works.
• 1:14:52
  Oh fantastic, right? We're moving on to Jeremy Govier
• 1:14:57
  and so last episodes Red Hellions.
• 1:15:02
  So Jeremy's up to date with us being on Furious 4 Bodies got me
• 1:15:06
  thinking, what are some of your favorite figures for customs?
• 1:15:12
  If I'm throwing paint on, it's a Tusk Century or a DLX Goblin,
• 1:15:19
  and if I'm swapping and popping or popping and swapping, it's
• 1:15:22
  Novian Lean and Valak. So, well, Rich, you kind of
• 1:15:27
  answered it last week with your red hellions, but I'm sure you
• 1:15:30
  have more. Yes, the main one I've done
• 1:15:36
  randomly is is Templars. So I've got like 20 odd Templars
• 1:15:42
  despite I've sold quite a few. So that's that's very much a go
• 1:15:46
  to body for me. You know, I like the idea of
• 1:15:48
  different races and that sort of thing being Templars.
• 1:15:50
  It's the Legion builders though. It's the sort of cheaper way to
• 1:15:54
  do that. And then you can add some paint
• 1:15:56
  the sentry body for instance. And cosmic is a great one to go
• 1:15:59
  for. Another one just specifically
• 1:16:02
  for armor is scaphoid. So yeah, yes, you're going to
• 1:16:05
  struggle with the green bones, but the purple cloth stuff and
• 1:16:08
  the the sort of distressed gold armor is brilliant.
• 1:16:11
  You can do all sorts of things with that.
• 1:16:15
  Cool. Matt, what you got?
• 1:16:18
  I've mostly the cloth part Shock horror, I love them.
• 1:16:23
  They're my favorite part probably Actually one of the
• 1:16:27
  things I seem to be well, I've done it twice now and which
• 1:16:31
  makes it the most thing I've done.
• 1:16:33
  Most is using a mix of the is it the engineer, the female one and
• 1:16:38
  the goblin body. And it's actually really fun to,
• 1:16:41
  you know, work out at what to paint what well, you know, what
• 1:16:44
  you can tweak. It's a it's a fun little scale
• 1:16:48
  in cosmic. Yeah, that probably.
• 1:16:51
  Kind of that. It's kind of that OK scale I
• 1:16:54
  suppose. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:57
  And I reckon dwarves would probably be the same.
• 1:16:59
  I just need to get the bravery up to lose a load of hit bits so
• 1:17:04
  I can swap out the chainmail, yeah?
• 1:17:10
  Right. For me there's, I mean, there's
• 1:17:12
  been a few figures now on this build, but Bardrick, I think
• 1:17:16
  that's a great figure for using for customs, both pop and swap
• 1:17:20
  and using the parts for customs. So you've got the cloth arms and
• 1:17:26
  legs, so you can use them for a variety of different types of
• 1:17:29
  customs. And you've got the chest part
• 1:17:32
  that is the pop in chest. You've got also just the awesome
• 1:17:36
  chest part on Bardrick. You could paint that up a
• 1:17:39
  different way or you can pop it out and you can use maybe a
• 1:17:42
  third party plug in chest. So that's always useful.
• 1:17:47
  And and then the cavern dwarf for dwarf.
• 1:17:51
  It's the most recent kind of legion builder Dwarf we've got
• 1:17:55
  and it's got so many cool pieces.
• 1:17:57
  So that's the dwarf build I'd use for repaints, the Sentry and
• 1:18:03
  cosmic boring, but it really works, you know, or not boring,
• 1:18:08
  but you know, it's kind of just been said before and it works.
• 1:18:12
  And naked Tiger is just I've got four or five of them that I want
• 1:18:19
  to do customs with. I'm thinking of maybe just doing
• 1:18:22
  different colors on them, which would be just simple repaints.
• 1:18:26
  But why not? Because it hasn't been done yet
• 1:18:29
  in the line. I'm sure it will, maybe not the
• 1:18:31
  colors, I'll do them, but I'm sure they will recolor that body
• 1:18:34
  for different figures. So that might be fun to do now.
• 1:18:38
  Well, intrigued. About the naked thigh guard.
• 1:18:40
  Did you pick him up on legionshub.com?
• 1:18:44
  I don't know, maybe that was the tab Mallow.
• 1:18:46
  Yeah, what you say about Barbara, John, in the same way
• 1:18:55
  of Alec. So very obviously very, very
• 1:18:57
  similar parts. We got that black base, the cool
• 1:19:00
  sort of torso. And I think so.
• 1:19:04
  The time has gone past maybe for these figures now, but Vorthog
• 1:19:07
  was an absolute top top tier for using for customs or popping
• 1:19:11
  swaps. I've got a few best.
• 1:19:14
  And you got 2 sets of feet with him the the bare feet and the
• 1:19:18
  normal was the first real figure with the chest him and Magnus
• 1:19:22
  that barrel, the chest and really good weathering on the
• 1:19:26
  weapons. So you could just use them with
• 1:19:28
  the with with another figure and and kind of already instantly
• 1:19:33
  look cool and you got the fur. Isn't he have little fur bits as
• 1:19:37
  well for tug the little brown fur bits.
• 1:19:41
  So he's excellent. You could also Zylarian guard
• 1:19:44
  because you've got the soft goods waist piece and the
• 1:19:50
  plastic waist piece and it's just a cool build.
• 1:19:53
  The helmet, I think a couple of places like I know Mark Calvo
• 1:19:57
  did little inserts for that helmet.
• 1:20:01
  So you could do that back then, but they're all kind of starting
• 1:20:05
  to go out of read or like 4th is gone for sure.
• 1:20:09
  He's higher on secondary and so learning guard probably will be
• 1:20:12
  at some stage. So yeah, but also cool figures
• 1:20:17
  do ban, you could say as well is another great one.
• 1:20:21
  And he comes with a lot of hands do ban.
• 1:20:22
  I think I think with the Zylonian guard, the color of the
• 1:20:25
  leather boots and gloves is really cool on that as well.
• 1:20:30
  Yeah, for sure. I mean, back in the day the
• 1:20:34
  goblin Legion builder was was a good one for loads of stuff.
• 1:20:40
  But I don't know, I don't like painting it.
• 1:20:43
  It's too small and I'm not as much into goblins.
• 1:20:47
  I like the the figures we get from goblins.
• 1:20:52
  I think for the customs, I don't know whether it's me.
• 1:20:55
  I'm just out of ideas at the moment for goblin customs other
• 1:21:00
  than, you know, paint and give me a three third party goblin
• 1:21:03
  head. You know the with the cool
• 1:21:05
  sculpt that's awesome to paint. I wonder if with the Goblin
• 1:21:10
  builder pack, perhaps a few more options there might help a bit
• 1:21:13
  with. That I think it is very limited.
• 1:21:16
  Yeah, I think that's a good refresh for us.
• 1:21:19
  Right. We move on to Markel's.
• 1:21:21
  Todd. Hey lads, which are your top
• 1:21:26
  third parties for weapons? So Rich, seen as you're the
• 1:21:32
  you're the expert on all the third party shops.
• 1:21:35
  Guess what? When?
• 1:21:36
  Give us a few. But also leave or should or
• 1:21:38
  should we say first and then you you go first as.
• 1:21:40
  Weapons. Randomly weapons.
• 1:21:42
  The one thing I didn't tend to buy that many of OK third party,
• 1:21:45
  so I'm not an expert on this one.
• 1:21:48
  So I've got a few miles, so if you want to go first.
• 1:21:50
  Shall I go first because I've barely got anything because I
• 1:21:52
  actually sorry as I say this, but I one, I'm rubbish at
• 1:21:58
  thinking about weapons when I'm ordering stuff, but two, I don't
• 1:22:02
  feel like there are that many really cool weapons out there.
• 1:22:05
  The one that I actually really like and I bought a couple and
• 1:22:08
  I've recently painted them it Brian see because he does cosmic
• 1:22:11
  weapons and really cool cosmic weapons and I will be going by
• 1:22:16
  his booth to pick up any cosmic bits I'm.
• 1:22:18
  Sure, there'll be more and more as we come.
• 1:22:22
  So that's the main one that Wolf King does.
• 1:22:24
  A few quite cool ones, I think. Yeah.
• 1:22:27
  And that's about it for me. And so I had toy forge.
• 1:22:32
  Antony does great weapons, especially for dwarfs.
• 1:22:36
  Lots of different types of weapons that you might have
• 1:22:38
  gotten the line, especially, you know, before the builder, the
• 1:22:44
  two pack and different types of, you know, different size
• 1:22:47
  Shields, different size axes, stuff like that knives.
• 1:22:52
  He also has a lot of cool axes and he also has some cosmic
• 1:22:59
  weapons Anthony, that he's done in some of these customs.
• 1:23:05
  I think they've more come out this year.
• 1:23:08
  So maybe we have regions gone, we'll probably.
• 1:23:12
  Grab them. Pick them up.
• 1:23:14
  Yeah, and planetary dog toys always had good weapons, said
• 1:23:19
  Those. You know, he did a lot of
• 1:23:23
  bombastic big weapons. You know, that was my couple of
• 1:23:27
  cool smaller ones. That is my problem with that.
• 1:23:29
  They they look great, but they're not got them.
• 1:23:32
  And they were like, oh, they're a bit bigger than I want them to
• 1:23:34
  be, really. But I mean, yeah, obviously do
• 1:23:37
  that like that, but yeah. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:23:39
  And and obviously the planetary dog Shields, you know, the
• 1:23:43
  wooden Shields with the plates on them, the different logos and
• 1:23:47
  designs, they're amazing. And yeah, they got like. 20 odd
• 1:23:51
  I think and they have those different.
• 1:23:52
  And the ones with this, the ram skull head and the chains.
• 1:23:57
  Love the anchor one. He's incredible.
• 1:23:59
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But expensive for third parties.
• 1:24:05
  Like I know Eugene is doing a load of them again for agents
• 1:24:10
  come but that's he does it said that has a deal on if you buy
• 1:24:13
  loads. So if you buy 20 or 30, you get
• 1:24:16
  them for a good price, but if you're buying like 5 or 10, it's
• 1:24:20
  it's expensive to turn any sort of money on that.
• 1:24:23
  You wouldn't be able to sell them for what you buy them for.
• 1:24:25
  Paint it, you know, athletes can.
• 1:24:27
  So that's why I didn't get any more because I didn't want to do
• 1:24:31
  30 or 40, you know, and glad that Eugene is looking after
• 1:24:35
  that part of the market. If they're if it's there,
• 1:24:38
  hopefully. And the I did also say Wolf
• 1:24:41
  King, they do have a good variety and definitely we're
• 1:24:44
  checking out and you'll find something you're looking for
• 1:24:47
  there. And Uncle Jim's workshop was my
• 1:24:49
  last one. Forgot my Uncle Jim.
• 1:24:51
  Yeah, Uncle Jim's workshop is amazing.
• 1:24:53
  Brilliant stuff, loads of difference.
• 1:24:56
  Again, some of them might be a bit oversized for you man, but
• 1:25:00
  others aren't. And he has the ones with the
• 1:25:02
  flame effect as well. I have a bunch of them that I
• 1:25:05
  need to finish actually, because I did one for a friend and I
• 1:25:10
  bought a bunch because I didn't want to ship just one sword from
• 1:25:15
  China. So I bought a bunch of them and
• 1:25:18
  I did prime them all up, but I haven't actually finished any of
• 1:25:21
  the rest of them. So that's something on the pile.
• 1:25:23
  Religions gone. Yeah, and if anyone's listening
• 1:25:27
  who's not a painter, that Uncle Jim sells everything they have,
• 1:25:30
  they sell painted as well and they it's really good value.
• 1:25:34
  They'll like charge you like 8-9 dollars to do an amazing paint
• 1:25:37
  job on a really quite intricate sword or shield or whatever sort
• 1:25:41
  of thing. So welcome.
• 1:25:42
  To come see me at Legions Con 1st and then oh.
• 1:25:45
  Absolutely, John, only legions con You still want something, go
• 1:25:49
  to Uncle Jim. No, I mean you Uncle Jim is
• 1:25:52
  you're right. John is great one Plantry dog
• 1:25:54
  toys was the other one I'd mentioned and the best one.
• 1:25:56
  Unfortunately, you can't get them from anymore.
• 1:25:58
  That was my actually customs. They had so many weapons, so
• 1:26:02
  many, but obviously, you know, that's gone now.
• 1:26:06
  I wouldn't be surprised if a few more things come back that are
• 1:26:09
  probably legions compatible. Whilst not aimed at legions
• 1:26:12
  there, yeah. Yeah, righty ho.
• 1:26:18
  Next question. Two questions from Ken Poole
• 1:26:22
  collects, who always puts a hello there on our YouTube every
• 1:26:26
  week. And I always read it in the Ewan
• 1:26:31
  McGregor Obi Wan voice. They assume that's what I go
• 1:26:34
  for. Hello there.
• 1:26:36
  Yeah, there you go. I read it in your voicemail.
• 1:26:39
  Sorry. And so his first question is,
• 1:26:44
  hello there. How would you react to a new
• 1:26:47
  show on YouTube called Real American Legions?
• 1:26:51
  And yeah, you go. I've said I think Hulk Hogan
• 1:26:55
  probably isn't the best spokesman for Legions.
• 1:27:02
  Is this is this like the like the Real Housewives of like
• 1:27:05
  Hollywood or something like that?
• 1:27:06
  So there's like camera crew following around legions,
• 1:27:09
  collectors going like. Yes.
• 1:27:12
  Or it's maybe it's about the GI Joe.
• 1:27:14
  Yeah, Legions. Probably is, isn't it?
• 1:27:18
  I I went real American because that was Hulk Hogan's theme.
• 1:27:21
  Tune. But I think what he's meaning
• 1:27:23
  is, you know, we're euro legions.
• 1:27:25
  Yeah, yeah, but there's loads of real American legions shows
• 1:27:28
  that's my answer. There is loads of YouTube
• 1:27:31
  American allegiance shows with some wonderful American people.
• 1:27:36
  So yeah, we will take some real absolutely.
• 1:27:40
  Yeah. We're not chasing the likes on
• 1:27:44
  YouTube, although we're almost at 200, so subscribe to YouTube.
• 1:27:50
  Exactly. If you're watching this, like
• 1:27:51
  and subscribe everybody. Yeah.
• 1:27:53
  And comment, you know, like, comment and subscribe.
• 1:27:56
  Yeah, exactly. Smash that like.
• 1:28:03
  We, we, I regularly get these emails now in the Euronesians
• 1:28:07
  mailbox from these guys trying to sell the key to the algorithm
• 1:28:11
  on YouTube because their videos aren't optimized.
• 1:28:15
  And I got mad. I replied to the last guy and I
• 1:28:17
  go, look, we're not it's a niche topic.
• 1:28:22
  We can't, we can't play the algorithm game with this topic.
• 1:28:26
  You know, it's there because if people want to watch the video,
• 1:28:29
  that's a great platform to host it.
• 1:28:31
  And if some new people find it from there, brilliant.
• 1:28:34
  But we can't chase the algorithm on YouTube doesn't work for for
• 1:28:38
  such a niche subject. And and then he says, hello
• 1:28:44
  there. What would a Eurolegions 3 pack
• 1:28:46
  figure from the Four Horsemen look like?
• 1:28:50
  And I hate this question. I've said yeah, well, my answer
• 1:28:54
  is invisible translucent, a translucent.
• 1:28:58
  Dwarf. You know, we did AT shirt this
• 1:29:03
  year with kind of with with the OK from the horsemen because
• 1:29:08
  some of the characters look a bit like legions and not like an
• 1:29:12
  official OK like Gerber has his lunch box.
• 1:29:14
  But we don't mind if you do that.
• 1:29:16
  Yeah, so, you know, you get the general idea, but no, I
• 1:29:21
  wouldn't. I would say more than anything I
• 1:29:24
  would cringe and feel like I don't deserve it.
• 1:29:28
  So I'm probably happy to to truck along like this.
• 1:29:32
  It's worth making it just to see the look of anguish on your
• 1:29:34
  face, John. I would love them to do it just
• 1:29:38
  to see how big your head will get rich.
• 1:29:44
  It may struggle to get through the doors into legions.
• 1:29:48
  But more so, like at home, you know, as your wife and daughter
• 1:29:52
  just still think you're an idiot and you're going around going,
• 1:29:56
  I've got an election figure named after me or, you know,
• 1:29:58
  whatever. And have 53 different colour
• 1:30:01
  T-shirts all saying look here's a picture of the action figure
• 1:30:03
  made after me sort of thing. And you can tell us the tales of
• 1:30:06
  when you're in the office and to telling people and they just
• 1:30:10
  have different excuses to try and get away from you, right?
• 1:30:19
  That's our answer to that, I suppose.
• 1:30:21
  Ron Twining, which gave us the weirdest question.
• 1:30:26
  Why doesn't Ronald Twining have a custom Spider Man 2099 yet?
• 1:30:31
  I've put because he didn't ask for one, you know Santa or from
• 1:30:36
  us or. I've got the answer to every
• 1:30:38
  question is because he hangs around with reprobates.
• 1:30:49
  He's out, been in the Viking in the forest too much.
• 1:30:51
  I've got time to. Pick up.
• 1:30:52
  I mean it is a cool spider man suit for sure, but I can't see I
• 1:31:00
  I've never been inspired with legions to do a spider man
• 1:31:03
  custom. Because it's not.
• 1:31:04
  The aesthetic isn't really there in terms.
• 1:31:08
  Where we need the superhero line.
• 1:31:10
  Yeah, there you go. You know right is Ramirez.
• 1:31:18
  These are more for the first one or two maybe for for you rich.
• 1:31:22
  So pay attention here when we get to see the redemption arc
• 1:31:27
  for the Quetzalcoatl from the Helian faction, when will we get
• 1:31:33
  to see it? He definitely looks like a
• 1:31:35
  badass as a red hellion, but eventually this God of knowledge
• 1:31:39
  and light will trend towards the good or at least neutral
• 1:31:42
  territory where he is neither good or evil.
• 1:31:48
  Sorry is but so Coatl in my universe is a proper bad guy and
• 1:31:54
  we'll stay so so sorry dude. Yeah, and that's the that's the
• 1:31:58
  master of the red hellion law. So what can you do?
• 1:32:01
  We've just lost the list. Oh well.
• 1:32:07
  As long as you drive us to Jersey Mike's, we're good.
• 1:32:12
  Anyone. Or oh, no, no, he we walked with
• 1:32:15
  Jersey. He doesn't have a car there.
• 1:32:16
  No, we need. We went to, we walked to Jersey
• 1:32:19
  Mike's. We need, we need the we need
• 1:32:21
  Noah for the car and the truck. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:32:26
  He, he he mightn't bring us this year because you're pretty
• 1:32:29
  afraid you're going to steal it. Rich I.
• 1:32:32
  Mean there's a decent chance. I'm not going to lie, I was very
• 1:32:34
  taken with that truck. Being a rather tall person as
• 1:32:38
  well, it kind of it's perfect for you, you know, It's just too
• 1:32:41
  big. I looked.
• 1:32:42
  Like I said, to put a doll next to a car when I had a picture
• 1:32:45
  taken next to it. I think I think now he's with
• 1:32:48
  his new found title of enabler, it's only right that he enables
• 1:32:52
  us to get food from Jersey. Or I want Kentucky Fried Chicken
• 1:32:58
  from Kentucky. Let's go.
• 1:33:04
  Right. Anyway.
• 1:33:05
  If in the miracle that we sold out our table by day one of
• 1:33:08
  legions gone, just go right, Let's go Kentucky Fried Chicken
• 1:33:12
  and Kentucky. And then when are we going to
• 1:33:17
  see the Maze Tech faction? We can't wait for that one.
• 1:33:20
  Are you going to disappoint him again here?
• 1:33:23
  Possibly. I've written.
• 1:33:25
  I know, I know, I've been talking about it for a long,
• 1:33:27
  long while. I've got the various pieces, I
• 1:33:29
  just haven't put them together yet.
• 1:33:32
  OK, so the intention is there. The intention is absolutely
• 1:33:35
  there. I've got some amazing painted
• 1:33:37
  pieces from Nikki. I've got the bodies to go with
• 1:33:40
  them. I've got some of the BIOS
• 1:33:42
  written. It's just in case I get my
• 1:33:44
  backsliding gear and actually put.
• 1:33:45
  Them on thick hose. Could you briefly explain maze
• 1:33:49
  tech and what that's referring to?
• 1:33:51
  Yes. So it's it's my sort of again,
• 1:33:55
  apologies if I get this wrong terminology, but the
• 1:33:57
  Mesoamerican sort of faction. So it's it's combining the name
• 1:34:00
  is combination of the minds and the Aztecs.
• 1:34:02
  So maze texts and there's just some really cool third party
• 1:34:06
  prints out there, like quits of quotel of just like those
• 1:34:10
  traditional sorts of outfits sort of thing.
• 1:34:12
  So I've got like an undead 1 Jaguar warrior capitalism men.
• 1:34:18
  You'd be surprised to hear some some conquistador style bad guys
• 1:34:25
  to go with them. So all the components are there.
• 1:34:27
  I just need to put it together, take some blood crafts and get
• 1:34:30
  out. Excellent and then the last one
• 1:34:34
  with with AI am trying to be smart word.
• 1:34:38
  What are your favorite ungulates and why are they sheep?
• 1:34:42
  So I've put in here an ungulate is a hooved animal.
• 1:34:46
  So so that's that's why he's trying to catch us, take us out.
• 1:34:52
  It is. It is.
• 1:34:52
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:34:53
  For being Welch and they like. Being Welsh, yeah, they like to.
• 1:34:56
  We do like our sheep. Sheep.
• 1:34:57
  Not like that, but we do like our sheep.
• 1:35:00
  Richard Alpacas. I love alpacas.
• 1:35:04
  I think they're cute and they're cool Hacker and they're not as
• 1:35:07
  easy and they're not as they're not as big a nose as a llama.
• 1:35:12
  Llama is just a you know. There's like to bite you as 50
• 1:35:16
  years a lot Murrays as well, so. He's a nose.
• 1:35:18
  Yeah, so alpaca. Although they have a cute llama.
• 1:35:21
  The alpacas hog in the limelight now because you've got guanacos
• 1:35:23
  and minor kuna. Is it minor kuna?
• 1:35:26
  The kunas in the same family and you never see that so.
• 1:35:29
  OK, no, you're talking more ungulates stuff that I don't
• 1:35:32
  know what you got, what you got. Favorite hooved animals are rich
• 1:35:38
  as sheep now. No, mine's a tape it just to
• 1:35:41
  clarify that. Oh, that's a worm.
• 1:35:45
  It's not a worm, that's a tapeworm.
• 1:35:48
  Oh, sorry, tape is the. Big, big animals with the long
• 1:35:51
  noses. OK, my horse.
• 1:35:54
  No. Not really.
• 1:35:56
  Hoofed animals don't generally do it for me.
• 1:35:59
  I don't in any way. Didn't need to be said.
• 1:36:06
  Wow, yeah. Right, moving down the shotty
• 1:36:10
  furry. I always slag off Maverick
• 1:36:17
  salvaging for when they ask for questions and my wife's going to
• 1:36:20
  kill me. He gives 10.
• 1:36:22
  So he did on purposely use his restraint and asked us just
• 1:36:28
  three and I would have taken 10 because when it's for our show I
• 1:36:31
  don't care. You know, the more the merrier.
• 1:36:36
  So Maverick asks if he got to add slash, remove slash, modify
• 1:36:40
  something about Legion Scon. So he's trying to get us into
• 1:36:44
  trouble here. What would it be?
• 1:36:46
  No judgement. I've got one thing for this and
• 1:36:50
  it's not a, it's not a massive thing because actually it's the
• 1:36:53
  hotel. Again, it's that location of
• 1:36:55
  that hotel that's the big thing for me.
• 1:36:59
  I really like the hotel though. It's a really nice hotel.
• 1:37:03
  So I need that hotel, but somewhere that's nearer to stuff
• 1:37:06
  so we could walk up to stuff. Yeah.
• 1:37:08
  And that's it. That's all I can think of.
• 1:37:10
  I don't even mind the distance it is from stuff, it's just that
• 1:37:13
  it's really difficult to walk anywhere from it because you're
• 1:37:16
  pretty much out onto a Main Street.
• 1:37:18
  Yeah, I think we know enough people with cars for the weekend
• 1:37:23
  that we could get. But yeah, you're always.
• 1:37:26
  Been kind of at that point, yeah.
• 1:37:28
  Yeah. Or just, you know, you don't
• 1:37:29
  want to be annoying people, you know, that's for sure.
• 1:37:32
  I did have one, which it kind of goes into your point a bit
• 1:37:36
  earlier. And now I know this wouldn't be
• 1:37:38
  possible because of the hotel. Wouldn't want it for sure, but
• 1:37:41
  food trucks in the car park would be cool.
• 1:37:43
  Yeah, yes, that. You know, with different types
• 1:37:47
  of and like, oh, obviously kind of good ones.
• 1:37:49
  You know, if you're going to have AI don't know a burger food
• 1:37:52
  truck, then make it an awesome burger.
• 1:37:54
  If you're going to have, you know, Mexican food, food truck
• 1:37:56
  make it awesome. But the food in the as Rich
• 1:38:00
  said, the food in the bar is great, but this would just give
• 1:38:02
  it a bit more variety of stuff and and a bit more, you know,
• 1:38:07
  had grabbing the snack in the middle of the day, although they
• 1:38:09
  did have nice sandwiches and stuff.
• 1:38:10
  There's I'm not I'm not going hungry.
• 1:38:13
  Don't get me wrong. No, no, it's more just a kind
• 1:38:15
  of, you know, we like food. I completely we do.
• 1:38:18
  You can tell by looking at us all, can you, that I will say,
• 1:38:23
  yeah, the the food in that pub is really, really good.
• 1:38:26
  It's just a look at the menu. And of course, because it's
• 1:38:29
  Irish themed, you're looking at it going, they're trying to do
• 1:38:32
  versions of what I could get at home and and you're like, I kind
• 1:38:37
  of, I'm in another country, even if it's a very similar country,
• 1:38:41
  I'd like some of the stuff I can't have at home.
• 1:38:44
  Yeah. Rich.
• 1:38:49
  Yeah, so I had food trucks like you, John, but totally.
• 1:38:51
  Oh, he did. Wow, great minds.
• 1:38:54
  I'd had a third day. It's allegiance con if I'm being
• 1:38:56
  really greedy, yeah. We've got so much about a four
• 1:38:59
  day legions con this year and they.
• 1:39:01
  Actually the con itself rather than G con and.
• 1:39:04
  I just think it would. Intern that sort of the.
• 1:39:06
  Last day, then it would do something to the other days if
• 1:39:09
  there was a third maybe. It would give me more time to
• 1:39:11
  buy stuff though. Need any more?
• 1:39:15
  Do you? No, I don't really don't know
• 1:39:17
  how much. And then 5000 lbs.
• 1:39:20
  It was about 10 pence I think last time.
• 1:39:22
  I don't know. I definitely didn't have you to
• 1:39:26
  look planning an intervention every time I was like, what?
• 1:39:31
  And then the coming back with stocking like bubble wrap, you
• 1:39:34
  know, two hands full of bubble wrap every time you left the
• 1:39:37
  table coming back and say, oh, you're packing stuff.
• 1:39:39
  No, there's stuff in here. And bigger tables, and that's
• 1:39:45
  probably just because we share a table, but bigger tables the.
• 1:39:49
  Way we're set up this year might hopefully stop that right
• 1:39:57
  opinion on each faction having a unique mount.
• 1:40:01
  So I just said that I absolutely love that whole idea and that it
• 1:40:07
  would be unique. So we've got horses obviously in
• 1:40:09
  some of the factions. Mal, have you gone any further
• 1:40:13
  than that? No, literally has gone further.
• 1:40:16
  Yeah, yeah. We'll leave it to Rich, but I
• 1:40:18
  think it'd be a great idea. We've got a bear, obviously now.
• 1:40:21
  And I mean, there's. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:40:23
  Great idea, Rich. Outstanding idea.
• 1:40:28
  Math. I don't know if these are in the
• 1:40:30
  order you've. It's right any.
• 1:40:32
  Order. So for the Lithia, I'd want some
• 1:40:37
  really big heavy armoured lizard.
• 1:40:38
  Obviously because it's lizard, but something that's the skin so
• 1:40:41
  thick that vampires can't bite through them, but they've
• 1:40:44
  trained them to ride them. So there's a couple of Warhammer
• 1:40:47
  examples. For instance, on the left,
• 1:40:50
  claws, teeth, heavy armor, that'd be great.
• 1:40:53
  On the right hand side, the army of Elizabeth Lee, Odysseus with
• 1:40:56
  a manticore. So you got your lion with wings
• 1:41:00
  and a scorpion's tail. I mean, that would be just be a
• 1:41:02
  badass thing. Imagine load of red Shields
• 1:41:05
  flying down into battle on those.
• 1:41:06
  That would be that'd be great. Cool, right?
• 1:41:11
  Next we have. A Griffin for the order of
• 1:41:14
  Etheron. It's an obvious one, but again,
• 1:41:17
  I think that would be a really cool.
• 1:41:18
  I don't. Know I like a Griffin.
• 1:41:21
  I just said that because the ether on thing.
• 1:41:25
  Yeah, of. Course, on the right of the
• 1:41:26
  screen is a skeletal scorpion, and that would be for the
• 1:41:29
  congregation of Necronominus A. Score Giant would be awesome.
• 1:41:33
  Yeah, it's like these giant, you know, Jason, the Argonauts,
• 1:41:36
  like. Things.
• 1:41:37
  I mean, there could be a little bit of cost, but you know, yeah.
• 1:41:41
  So that would be absolutely awesome if you take us on John.
• 1:41:46
  Yep, we got. So a a giant centipede for the
• 1:41:51
  circle Epoxis with loads of like posh, posh jewels and that sort
• 1:41:55
  of thing coming off it. So it's like you almost look
• 1:41:57
  it's rotting, but with a cool saddle on it for them to ride
• 1:42:00
  into battle. I would very much like that.
• 1:42:04
  And then the one on the right and this this is an actual
• 1:42:06
  character from something. I remember what it is, but it's
• 1:42:09
  it's like a demon mount type thing for the Legion of Arathe.
• 1:42:15
  So again, sort of like, you know.
• 1:42:17
  Looks a bit like a displacer beast, but less Jack.
• 1:42:20
  Yeah, it's it's it's definitely linked to something, but it's
• 1:42:24
  got like, it's got almost like dreads, like the the hunter dog
• 1:42:28
  things from the Predators film. But then it's got like the 10
• 1:42:33
  rules coming out when they open bits like that and just huge
• 1:42:36
  horns and who, you know, that sort of thing, so.
• 1:42:40
  That. For the Legion of Aritha, the
• 1:42:43
  other ones are a bit more boring.
• 1:42:44
  So as I loner it would be a stag.
• 1:42:46
  I know we've got a moose, but a really cool stag would be would
• 1:42:48
  be awesome for that house the noble bear.
• 1:42:53
  We were woolly mammoth. If we're going to have something
• 1:42:55
  for the house, the noble bear. Happy.
• 1:42:57
  Can you imagine? I mean, that huge, Yeah.
• 1:42:59
  Or maybe woolly rhino. If you don't do if you don't do
• 1:43:01
  a mammoth because it's too big, maybe woolly rhino.
• 1:43:04
  That'd be cool. Might be a way to go.
• 1:43:05
  Yeah. Suns, the Red Star would be a
• 1:43:08
  large eagle to whisk them away after an assassination and hop
• 1:43:11
  on the back of that and off they go.
• 1:43:13
  How? About a giant vulture.
• 1:43:16
  Oh, yes, yeah, yeah, that's better mouth.
• 1:43:19
  That would be good. I think that's everything.
• 1:43:21
  Yeah, I think that's all of them.
• 1:43:23
  Oh, no. Basilia.
• 1:43:24
  Basilia would be a giant snake. Don't.
• 1:43:25
  Forget my faction. Of course it would, yeah.
• 1:43:27
  Yes, that'd be very cool. Right.
• 1:43:31
  Then Maverick says besides money, what is the biggest
• 1:43:35
  hurdle stopping someone doing a Euro allegiance con if there
• 1:43:38
  seems to be a good number of European centric mythic cosmic
• 1:43:41
  collectors? Is it limited spaces, distance
• 1:43:44
  between cities, countries, timeframe, etcetera?
• 1:43:48
  I think it's a, it's all of that lack of interest in attendees.
• 1:43:51
  I think one, because the draw would be the horseman like so if
• 1:43:56
  the likes of us were to organize one that would be like who were
• 1:43:59
  those guys? You know, even though they know
• 1:44:01
  who we are. But like, you know, if we were
• 1:44:03
  to be at a show, we should be just part of it, not the main
• 1:44:06
  event for sure. I think there is like countries,
• 1:44:11
  you know, although we're kind of geographically close compared to
• 1:44:15
  say some. States from country to country.
• 1:44:18
  Yeah, it's more difficult to get around here.
• 1:44:23
  Yeah, people are. I don't know if people are as
• 1:44:26
  into it when you think of it like, so you get a couple of
• 1:44:30
  100, however many you get allegiance gone.
• 1:44:33
  It's probably a very small amount of the whole community
• 1:44:39
  and the community is much smaller over here.
• 1:44:41
  So very small amount of the community starts to be like 5 to
• 1:44:45
  10 to 20 people. I think realistically that would
• 1:44:49
  go, yeah, that first year you'd have to have a very small event,
• 1:44:54
  yeah, with not a lot there. It's more of a meeting, a meet
• 1:44:58
  up and then how are you even going to get people interested,
• 1:45:03
  what to make, Because it would be quite a chunk of money.
• 1:45:06
  Even travelling within the UK or an evening or a day, you know,
• 1:45:12
  it's going to be a lot of time and money, but not as much as
• 1:45:17
  we're spending to go to legions com.
• 1:45:21
  But comparatively for what they would be going to.
• 1:45:25
  And I think that's the that's the bit.
• 1:45:26
  It's the getting it off the ground with a smaller event
• 1:45:31
  because it's it's hard. Yeah, I think.
• 1:45:34
  You'd have to grow them. You'd have to grow the market.
• 1:45:37
  I mean, you'd need like a street team event or something.
• 1:45:39
  One of the big UK comic cons where people who never who've
• 1:45:42
  never seen Legions figures was like, oh, what the hell are
• 1:45:45
  they? That's amazing.
• 1:45:45
  But again, that's not going to happen because of all the stock.
• 1:45:48
  You know, people, you still won't see the horseman, you
• 1:45:51
  still won't meet some of the big people in the community.
• 1:45:53
  You know, you just meet some of the more local people and you
• 1:45:57
  know, we you'd spend more going to legions Con, but you get to
• 1:46:02
  see everything and everybody and in the end it'll be more worth
• 1:46:05
  it. So I'd say it's probably more
• 1:46:08
  likely here to be the likes of like, say the three of us.
• 1:46:10
  We'd visit each other or something or you know, and if we
• 1:46:13
  happen to incorporate one or two more people into that, it would
• 1:46:16
  be more something like that. Yeah, that was the other thing.
• 1:46:20
  Even if you had like a small event.
• 1:46:26
  Yeah, What? What what are you going to draw
• 1:46:29
  people to that with? Because you know who's getting
• 1:46:32
  stock from the horseman to sell like they do with the street
• 1:46:36
  teams It's going to be, it's so hard to organize.
• 1:46:39
  No, you'd have to use a retailer I suppose.
• 1:46:42
  Yeah. And getting them interested in
• 1:46:45
  that maybe Mighty Underground or something like that might
• 1:46:47
  because they're more yeah in the community, but even it's quite a
• 1:46:51
  big thing for them. But a lot of them are online
• 1:46:54
  retailers, so they don't have, you know, that set up space even
• 1:46:58
  for a street team. So they mightn't even have the
• 1:47:01
  possibility to have a credit card machine, you know, which
• 1:47:06
  is, it seems like a simple thing, but yeah.
• 1:47:10
  But yeah. So we've tried to maybe put
• 1:47:13
  failures out, never arranged anything formally in the last
• 1:47:16
  years. But it's been like what?
• 1:47:19
  Like if you look at the groups over the UK group, it's mostly a
• 1:47:22
  buying and selling type of thing or people trying to figure out
• 1:47:28
  how to use Aliexpress, you know, and in the European one.
• 1:47:33
  Is it worth buying from the Horsemen's?
• 1:47:34
  The other question. Yeah, In the European one, it's,
• 1:47:40
  yeah, it's some people kind of sharing their photography.
• 1:47:44
  It's a bit of buying and selling and maybe sharing some other
• 1:47:49
  stuff from around the community, but it isn't, there isn't a huge
• 1:47:53
  amount of engagement. Some of that might be language
• 1:47:56
  barrier some, but might be just people not, you know, using
• 1:48:01
  Facebook as much over here. I don't know there could be an
• 1:48:04
  element to that. Yeah.
• 1:48:06
  For. Sure.
• 1:48:06
  The language barrier is absolutely something to be
• 1:48:08
  conscious of. Even if people want to meet up,
• 1:48:11
  You know, if someone's English is really bad and you know,
• 1:48:14
  everything other than English is bad for me, then that makes it
• 1:48:17
  really quite difficult to travel over to say, Germany or
• 1:48:19
  somewhere. And then, you know, you don't
• 1:48:21
  speak German. So they're like, how do you, you
• 1:48:24
  know, how do you engage? Where I live, for example, OK,
• 1:48:27
  it's a bit of a unique country, but like if I don't know the
• 1:48:29
  person, I don't know what language they speak.
• 1:48:32
  It's not, it's not obvious, like I know the people in my village,
• 1:48:35
  but if I go to the next village and see someone, if I start in
• 1:48:39
  the language, it might not be any of the languages they speak.
• 1:48:43
  That's just kind of what Europe is like a little bit, you know.
• 1:48:48
  Now, usually English can be OK, but then if they're not great at
• 1:48:51
  English, it's just, it's just a weird balance of the
• 1:48:54
  conversation, you know, it's not, yeah, it, it doesn't work,
• 1:49:01
  you know, So anyway, but yeah, it's, it's just the thing, you
• 1:49:06
  know, I think there are in, in general, I think you've said it
• 1:49:09
  before now there are less kind of Comic Con events here, you
• 1:49:14
  know, And if they are, they're just really big ones, you know,
• 1:49:17
  like UK come back on or Warhammer, I mean there.
• 1:49:20
  Are there are a lot of smaller ones in the UK, but you're not
• 1:49:24
  going to get any people spending easily 100 plus pounds to spend
• 1:49:30
  an evening or a day at one of them just to do a mythic thing
• 1:49:33
  at the end of it, you know? Yeah.
• 1:49:36
  Yeah, there's one, there's one big kind of comic convention
• 1:49:39
  here and it's in a, it's in a town, like they take over the
• 1:49:42
  whole town every July. But it's mostly comic.
• 1:49:45
  There is like lots of figures and stuff like that and, you
• 1:49:49
  know, arts and crafts and, but it's mostly a comic thing.
• 1:49:53
  And then most of the comics are in French, so you know, I've
• 1:49:58
  been to it once or twice, but it's not that interesting, let's
• 1:50:02
  say. And also the stuff is then the
• 1:50:04
  figures are a way overpriced. If you if you're in the know,
• 1:50:08
  you know. So yeah, perhaps the other issue
• 1:50:12
  is the cost of yeah, because over here compared to the US.
• 1:50:18
  In a way, yeah. Or at least the the selection,
• 1:50:21
  yeah. Yeah.
• 1:50:24
  Right. I was going to say, let's try
• 1:50:28
  and kind of pick it up a bit in the mood here, but what do you
• 1:50:33
  predict from Tom Holes? What do you predict will happen
• 1:50:36
  at the end of the Mythic Legions line?
• 1:50:39
  It'll never end. For example, will it continue in
• 1:50:43
  some form? Will the value of the figures
• 1:50:45
  increase or decrease? Will there be another line with
• 1:50:47
  compatible parts other than the other two figure beers here?
• 1:50:51
  Cosmic? What are we to do with the
• 1:50:55
  endless trace of little straps? Plastic boulders.
• 1:51:00
  Same thing. Problem from the people.
• 1:51:02
  On eBay from my kids, I've said I suspect it'll stop if the
• 1:51:10
  horsemen decide they don't want to do it or it just isn't
• 1:51:12
  financially stable anymore and it won't carry on.
• 1:51:16
  If that's the case, that'll be it.
• 1:51:18
  It'll just fritter away like a lot of lines do, but I hope it
• 1:51:23
  goes on for years and years and years and years.
• 1:51:25
  Yeah, I. Think we've got yeah, yeah,
• 1:51:29
  we've got years, at least five years left.
• 1:51:31
  Yeah. Oh yeah, at least.
• 1:51:34
  That yeah, I think that it will continue anyway in some form
• 1:51:40
  because the customizing community is now so big that
• 1:51:43
  like, you know, if the horseman just decided to to stop, someone
• 1:51:48
  would take on the the IP and the, you know, the build system,
• 1:51:54
  you know, make the connections just out of the community
• 1:51:57
  almost, you know. I must.
• 1:51:59
  I'm not even from that perspective, I actually think.
• 1:52:03
  But we'd have to ask them and they might not want to share
• 1:52:06
  this information. I don't know why, but it might
• 1:52:08
  be something they don't want to be too.
• 1:52:09
  I do feel like part of what they're trying to build at the
• 1:52:12
  studio is continuity. Yeah.
• 1:52:16
  And bringing younger people in. No offence to them that will be
• 1:52:20
  able to continue it as they go because if you notice they're
• 1:52:23
  bringing in interns and trying to get younger people into the
• 1:52:26
  studio and interested. Diego is a good example.
• 1:52:30
  I assume he's a bit fair bit younger than us but but they've
• 1:52:34
  had other interns that are a lot younger aren't they?
• 1:52:38
  Yeah, for sure. And even, you know, people don't
• 1:52:43
  retire in the States, as far as I can see in these type of
• 1:52:47
  interest industries. If you know, if they love their
• 1:52:50
  job, they don't tend to retire. Obviously, if you know, you're
• 1:52:55
  maybe a civil servant and you've done your X amount of years to
• 1:52:58
  get your pension and then you can go off and do something you
• 1:53:00
  want. But you know, if you, if you are
• 1:53:04
  in a job like this that you might wind down your hours or
• 1:53:07
  that, you know, but you like, I think, for example, Eric
• 1:53:09
  Treadway, I think he'd always be involved in it one way or
• 1:53:13
  another. And as long as Eric is involved
• 1:53:15
  in it, I think it will continue in one some shape or form.
• 1:53:20
  And of course, they own the company, so yeah, unless they
• 1:53:25
  sell it to someone else, right? On the home straight now to left
• 1:53:32
  Trevor Williams in maybe some sort of a hint question, maybe
• 1:53:35
  not. What are your thoughts?
• 1:53:38
  Slash predictions for upcoming figure obscure releases.
• 1:53:43
  There is a plural there and I think personally the next one
• 1:53:49
  will be the Jersey Devil. I just think it's the time to do
• 1:53:52
  it and I think that they might just do it this weekend, maybe
• 1:53:59
  kind of put me. I'm with you.
• 1:54:02
  I have a sneak and I think Kevin and Boots posted his sort of
• 1:54:05
  brain just going on that you thought we might hear something
• 1:54:09
  this weekend and I'm I'm I yeah, Feels like a good weekend for
• 1:54:12
  it. I've got no idea what they'll do
• 1:54:15
  though. Yeah, I know what I think
• 1:54:17
  they're. Heavy gunner until October, so.
• 1:54:20
  That's that's what's no one. Is it too early for a Halloween
• 1:54:25
  one? That's the question I guess,
• 1:54:26
  isn't it? Or unless the heavy gunner
• 1:54:29
  shipment was on a delayed shipment with the figure obscure
• 1:54:32
  figure that we might get and then then it might be both.
• 1:54:38
  So who knows? That could also be, but yeah, I
• 1:54:42
  think the Jersey Devil, we, we had a recent episode with a lot
• 1:54:45
  of other predictions that we thought, but I think that one, I
• 1:54:49
  think in terms of the Christmas that release, I think we get
• 1:54:54
  another Christmas Carol. Yes.
• 1:54:56
  Character and we might get another Monkey King character
• 1:55:01
  coming. Yeah, I think it'll.
• 1:55:05
  Be the next 1 then. Yeah, I'm like, my first guest
• 1:55:09
  was Pixie and the Monkey King, but then we are so close to
• 1:55:12
  Halloween now that I'm thinking maybe maybe they're going to
• 1:55:15
  Halloween one and maybe there might be some like the Mummy,
• 1:55:18
  because obviously they know they've got the Egyptian sublime
• 1:55:21
  going now as well. So that could be a good time to
• 1:55:23
  introduce that sort of horror character.
• 1:55:25
  That's yeah, good shaft. And then, of course, we've got
• 1:55:29
  the other Egyptian gods. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:55:32
  Yeah. But and and then the hint at
• 1:55:36
  maybe possibly that female character from the looked like
• 1:55:40
  maybe a Mary Poppins type character.
• 1:55:42
  I don't know if. That's funnily enough, that's
• 1:55:44
  what came to my mind when I saw her.
• 1:55:45
  It was Mary Poppins. But maybe we will get Mary
• 1:55:48
  Poppins. I don't know if she's she's
• 1:55:50
  probably owned by Disney. Isn't she?
• 1:55:52
  Say they can't. That'll say my, that'll say my
• 1:55:53
  wallet quite a bit of money so. Right to wind us out here then
• 1:56:00
  Kieran Edmund popped a question on our Discord today.
• 1:56:05
  Just in time, Kieran, so do you think that the mythics will
• 1:56:09
  continue the versus waves? So not not not like the previous
• 1:56:13
  version continue full stop, but continue the versus waves at G
• 1:56:17
  Con. And then for the reuse slash,
• 1:56:21
  you know the like the ashes of a Bender wave, we get a story
• 1:56:25
  driven ashes of a Bender wave. And then he says, personally, I
• 1:56:30
  like the fact that we can fill out the factions doing the
• 1:56:32
  versus waves and then get a variety of factions and races in
• 1:56:36
  the mid year drops would also mean that our tour would be
• 1:56:40
  soon. I think we've we did an episode
• 1:56:42
  on what we might like next from our here.
• 1:56:44
  So if you haven't listened to that, go back and have a listen
• 1:56:47
  if you're interested in our here.
• 1:56:49
  So what do you think, Ma? No, I think we're going to get
• 1:56:53
  something different from this point on.
• 1:56:55
  I think they've done the versus waves to fill out the various
• 1:56:59
  factions we've now got. Arathi is probably still the
• 1:57:03
  biggest faction, but we've got roughly similar figures, which
• 1:57:06
  is part of the reason I hope we don't get verses because I don't
• 1:57:09
  want more Arathi just yet. But I think we've got roughly
• 1:57:13
  similar amounts of figures for most of the factions.
• 1:57:17
  Maybe a couple are still a bit short, but that's why I don't
• 1:57:20
  think we'll get the verses. I think they'll try and fill out
• 1:57:22
  some of the spots that are a bit thin.
• 1:57:26
  I definitely think we're going to start to see more and I think
• 1:57:29
  that's what kind of Jeremy was trying to get at with the Ashes
• 1:57:33
  of AG Bendor and this idea that we're going to start getting
• 1:57:35
  stories. I think that's going to be the
• 1:57:40
  All Star slash reinforcements waves moving forward, not
• 1:57:43
  reinforcements. The All Stars waves moving
• 1:57:45
  forward are going to be that, I think.
• 1:57:50
  Yeah, I agree, Mal, I think I think mid year waves will be
• 1:57:53
  lots of reuse like this year, but it's a good way to fill out
• 1:57:56
  the current factions. You know, you can have a night
• 1:57:59
  with just a head that they've told for something else sort of
• 1:58:01
  thing. You can drop it in there.
• 1:58:03
  So basically what they did this time in terms of that, you can
• 1:58:05
  go through the second Great War, you can bring up, you know,
• 1:58:08
  chance of version twos, all that sort of stuff.
• 1:58:11
  But Gcon, no, I agree. I don't think they'll go down
• 1:58:14
  the versus waves. I certainly desperately hope
• 1:58:16
  they don't start Aritha and the Legion again.
• 1:58:21
  It's like, no, we've had five years that it's been amazing,
• 1:58:23
  but let's do something different.
• 1:58:25
  Now is the time to spread their wings and introduce lizard men
• 1:58:28
  where all that sort of thing. And I was thinking about
• 1:58:32
  probably. And it's like, maybe.
• 1:58:39
  And this is, yeah, craziness, that the second wall was so
• 1:58:42
  cataclysmic that it somehow shifted the continents and
• 1:58:45
  another continent that suddenly drifted a lot closer to mythos
• 1:58:47
  than it was. Oh.
• 1:58:48
  Nate, get your pencils out. You need to draw a new map.
• 1:58:51
  Which is where all these new races and species and types of
• 1:58:55
  characters come from, because all of us.
• 1:58:56
  And they're so close that they can get involved in in what's
• 1:58:59
  going on Mythos. And they might even then drive
• 1:59:01
  the remaining factions of Mythos to band together even some evil
• 1:59:04
  characters to then fight the new guys.
• 1:59:06
  So there's all one sort of storyline you can go down, yeah.
• 1:59:10
  Well my answer is I don't think they will as well as you boys
• 1:59:14
  and I think that they will introduce new factions at G Con
• 1:59:18
  and they'll be related to mythos after the Ashes of Ekbendor
• 1:59:23
  story. So the new.
• 1:59:25
  Legions rise of the lizard men, you hear?
• 1:59:28
  Well, my my back of my mind. Oh, he's doing the outro.
• 1:59:33
  I should say this quick back of my mind.
• 1:59:36
  I wonder if we're going to get not a dragon,
• 2:00:07
  Do I need to bleep the word shag or?
• 2:00:10
  It's not going to. Sound good?
• 2:00:11
  No, I don't think so. People think that's the safe
• 2:00:14
  word. You.
• 2:00:14
  Probably won't mean anything to the Americans anyway.
• 2:00:18
  No, I can't. No, I can't leave this in the as
• 2:00:21
  an outtake or dependency. What can I?
• 2:00:26
  Yeah, I'm sure they were, that it was.
• 2:00:30
  Nobody listens this long anyway. Is is a laugh and that's all it
• 2:00:34
  was if he listens.
