• 0:34
  Welcome to episode 95 of the Euro Legions podcast.
• 0:38
  And this week we're going to look at the figure obscura that
• 0:41
  came out over the weekend and we're going to take a little run
• 0:44
  through as the figures that were released at Legions Con.
• 0:48
  So that's the two packs and the minion infantry and we see where
• 0:53
  we go from there. So it's a Wednesday night here
• 0:56
  in in Europe and there's Wednesday Night Football on,
• 1:00
  which is a rather distracting and my two Co hosts here, but
• 1:03
  we'll try and get through it. You know, How are you, man?
• 1:06
  I'm a professional, can never be distracted.
• 1:09
  You'll never you won't even know what's going on.
• 1:11
  No, yeah. When he looks at no, no, he's of
• 1:16
  course 100% committed. I'm going to.
• 1:20
  Have more problems muting my mic every time the cats start
• 1:22
  fighting and just like come on. Yeah, it may be too much work.
• 1:28
  Cats. Come on.
• 1:29
  No, that's fine. Cats can stay in.
• 1:31
  Yeah, and Rich, you're in similar boats here.
• 1:34
  I am. Games already on.
• 1:35
  Liverpool are losing so I'm not quite as happy as Mile at the
• 1:39
  moment. Well, you know, as we also put
• 1:42
  this up on YouTube these days, it's it's harder to, you know,
• 1:47
  it's. Kind of a.
• 1:47
  Distraction. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:51
  In the early days, you would not have wanted to see some of those
• 1:54
  videos because. You'll know for watching this,
• 1:58
  couldn't we? Yeah.
• 1:59
  You'll know for watching football if I just go and then
• 2:04
  come back to you. So that's a sign of just be
• 2:06
  quiet, OK? Yeah.
• 2:08
  Come back. YouTube down.
• 2:10
  I'm watching TV. I'm watching TV.
• 2:15
  So we're, we're in the deepest, darkest winter and it's pretty
• 2:20
  sucky Now. It's, I mean, the evenings are
• 2:22
  just getting ridiculously short. Pretty much lights on all day
• 2:26
  now. You know, how are we supposed to
• 2:27
  save the environment when the weather is like this?
• 2:29
  I mean, come on. It is grim.
• 2:31
  I arrived at the office in darkness and I left the office
• 2:33
  in darkness and it's just like, that sucks.
• 2:35
  And you only worked 7 hours? Yeah, it's like a little.
• 2:39
  Bit more than that, but yeah. No, Yeah, I hate that.
• 2:44
  Yeah. And just people are not, you
• 2:46
  know, that's not on the driving moon, but, you know, people with
• 2:50
  their dimmer lights just not working out for me at the
• 2:52
  moment. I feel like my, you know, I'm,
• 2:54
  I'm in my mid 40s. You know, this is when your
• 2:57
  eyesight, if you don't have glasses already starts to go.
• 2:59
  And I think these other drivers are starting to contribute to my
• 3:04
  my vision going down the pipes. So not happy about it.
• 3:08
  Not happy about it. Well, I might like tested a
• 3:10
  couple of months ago and they were like, no, it's basically
• 3:12
  the same as what was two years ago.
• 3:13
  And I'm like really? Because I'm I'm just getting
• 3:16
  worse of a driver but OK. Yeah, I think I'm getting to the
• 3:22
  point where I probably should go and get an eye test because they
• 3:24
  they definitely, it's definitely noticeable when it's the light's
• 3:27
  not perfect that I'm like. Yeah, I know.
• 3:31
  Like I can. I can still read everything
• 3:33
  fine, but I noticed that I'm having to focus more or I need
• 3:36
  to turn the phone screen up brighter and all that.
• 3:39
  Kind of stuff. So that's it.
• 3:41
  Needed the. First time I had an eye test a
• 3:43
  couple years ago and he said I'm fine, but you know, come back in
• 3:45
  three years and you won't be fine.
• 3:47
  It's like, thanks for that. Builds me full of confidence.
• 3:50
  You know, you know, like if you went to a doctor's come back to
• 3:54
  me in three years, you're going to be ill some some horrible
• 3:58
  sickness. With the British doctors, you
• 4:01
  need to make an appointment now to see them in three years.
• 4:04
  Or was it that bad? Oh it's horrendous that my local
• 4:07
  surgery they've just basically said unless you're dying, in
• 4:11
  which case call 999 then don't worry about it, you're not
• 4:15
  seeing us. We have no doctors, no premises.
• 4:18
  Someone from, you know, the kind of say the, the Western world at
• 4:22
  the moment, it's not, you know, not to go down the politics.
• 4:24
  It's not very good because as of this evening, the French
• 4:27
  government collapsed. The Germans are having an
• 4:29
  election in January. We have a lame duck president in
• 4:33
  the White House because, you know, he's on the way out.
• 4:36
  I mean. There's an attempted coup pretty
• 4:39
  much last night in Korea. It's all going to hell.
• 4:43
  The old the old enemies must be licking their chops going on.
• 4:45
  These guys are an absolute mess. What the hell?
• 4:49
  But we should just continue and talk about our action figures
• 4:52
  and our hobbies. Absolutely.
• 4:54
  Now, if I could get around to start painting again, because I,
• 4:56
  I've just gone on, you know, cleaning buzz, trying to get
• 5:00
  everything in the right order so that I can actually kind of have
• 5:04
  a clean run at it for the next year.
• 5:06
  And not kind of, you know, constantly live in squalor in my
• 5:10
  in my collecting room and, you know, painting slash painting
• 5:13
  room. So as you can see maybe behind
• 5:15
  me there, if you're watching the video or so there's been a bit
• 5:18
  of a clean up there for piles of and the piles of figures that
• 5:21
  used to be there. They've all been kind of, you
• 5:23
  know, put away in storage or or put a Bunny Bay or wherever they
• 5:27
  need to go. So you know, things need to
• 5:29
  happen. My wallet is no longer sobbing.
• 5:31
  It's just dead. It's like got a life support
• 5:34
  machine on it. You know, the allegiance can
• 5:37
  credit card bill came in and thank goodness I didn't like to
• 5:42
  figure obscure that we're going to talk about.
• 5:46
  You know, I was almost automatically going to buy it
• 5:48
  and then I was like, you know what I don't even want this.
• 5:50
  It's not for me. So I just skipped it, first one
• 5:53
  ever, but just shows me that, you know, when I do like them, I
• 5:57
  have a bit of credibility. I'm not just, you know, one of
• 6:00
  these by blind people. You know, I feel more like you,
• 6:04
  Rich. I still can't believe when we
• 6:08
  looked at the retailer wave, Speaking of money gone and I
• 6:11
  might spend more than you 20 that.
• 6:13
  Came in as well. Yeah.
• 6:14
  Yeah, that bill came in as well. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:16
  And we did the had nothing. It was like me and Mal were kind
• 6:19
  of going crazy about it. And Rich is the one that spent
• 6:22
  the most money in the end in our group order.
• 6:24
  Yes, it turns out that my customizing brain ticked over
• 6:26
  enough for me to order 4 Fisher Ices, which bumped up the cost.
• 6:31
  No, man, that wasn't your only order of fish or rice, was it?
• 6:34
  Mine. No, no, this is the thing.
• 6:37
  I spread the cost of mine knowing I was going to get a lot
• 6:40
  of Fisher ices. Did cancel a couple.
• 6:45
  Yeah, if anyone in Europe is listening to this, then you're
• 6:47
  having to get them from America because Miles bought every spare
• 6:50
  one there was in Europe. He's gone all his websites,
• 6:53
  everything, and they're just gone.
• 6:55
  Maybe the UK, but not so unsure. That's good, you know, keep the
• 7:00
  retailers in business. That's what we want, isn't it,
• 7:04
  you know? Give them a reason to keep
• 7:06
  getting them. Yeah, give them one of them a
• 7:08
  reason to try and get that dragon in no problem for another
• 7:13
  day. The Fisher Rice, I was like, I
• 7:15
  want to get the parts because, you know, it's a good set of
• 7:17
  parts. I can do all sorts of stuff with
• 7:18
  them. And now all of a sudden, like,
• 7:19
  what blue heads have I got if I wanted to keep them all looking
• 7:22
  bluish? So like, OK, use that head.
• 7:24
  I can use that as like Christ, here we go.
• 7:27
  Now you need a. Clan of Blue headed you.
• 7:30
  Need another 4 Fisher rice or what?
• 7:32
  It's looking grim at the moment, yeah, I just haven't got any
• 7:38
  money for anything at the. Moment no, no, it's like you
• 7:40
  know that just has to wait and like we still have the we still
• 7:44
  have the G con wave to to pre-order if you're going to
• 7:47
  pre-order direct that probably needs to go in the next month
• 7:50
  and I think we. Have to wait till the start of
• 7:52
  January for that. Then we'll have the dragon
• 7:55
  possibly sandwiched in there. Is the in stock for, you know,
• 8:00
  maybe some of the armour? The armoury figures in stock,
• 8:04
  yeah. Maybe the legions gone single
• 8:05
  packs, I don't know. Yeah, I had my wife's birthday
• 8:08
  this week as well, so that's yeah, I owed me for my day.
• 8:11
  Last week, so you know that was a few quid, but definitely don't
• 8:16
  worry about that. No right, rich.
• 8:19
  That's why I spent money. Oh.
• 8:20
  Of course it is, Absolutely. He was genuinely impressed with
• 8:24
  the present I bought. So, you know, so I'd actually
• 8:26
  put a bit of thought into it for the forms.
• 8:29
  I mean, I'd wrapped it like a child.
• 8:31
  It had masking tape taping it together rather than Sellotape.
• 8:33
  Couldn't my name Sellotape? So it looked like, you know,
• 8:35
  it's a lovely wrapping paper and then like someone would just,
• 8:38
  you know, pick something out of the gutter and use it to seal
• 8:40
  it. So that wasn't great, but there
• 8:42
  we go. It's the thought I did.
• 8:45
  Slightly better, but like we don't need.
• 8:47
  To Hey, I wasn't, I wasn't wrapping it on the morning off,
• 8:49
  which is unusual for me. Right.
• 8:53
  Or or getting her to wrap it. Yeah, yeah, No, but did I tell
• 8:59
  you, boys, a couple of couple of years ago, we were going up to
• 9:01
  Angles more than a couple of years ago, maybe three years
• 9:03
  ago, go into Anglesey for Christmas and we got halfway up
• 9:05
  and I suddenly looked at Kerry and I went, I've left your
• 9:08
  presents at home. And she's like, yeah, yeah, of
• 9:10
  course you have. Of course you have.
• 9:11
  And I was like, no, no, I I, I have.
• 9:14
  So she got her presents in the new year when we got back.
• 9:17
  I'm terrible. That's not as bad as.
• 9:24
  It shouldn't, no. Maybe when the kids, so about
• 9:27
  6-6 years ago when the kids were quite small and my mother was
• 9:30
  over here for a couple of weeks in the summer and we booked like
• 9:33
  a center parks done in France. Center parks is kind of like an
• 9:36
  activity place where you can stay.
• 9:38
  I mean you guys know, but maybe the listeners you can stay a few
• 9:41
  days and it's all kind of set up for kids.
• 9:43
  So it was about a 2 1/2 hour drive down to France and I was
• 9:47
  in charge of packing up the car and I left the kids suitcase on
• 9:51
  the floor in the basement. We got there, open the boot and
• 9:55
  there's like just our, the adults suitcases and no suitcase
• 9:58
  for the kids. So I had to get in the car and
• 10:01
  drive the 2 1/2 hours back down the road and then 2 1/2 hours
• 10:05
  back again. So another, Yeah.
• 10:08
  And yeah, it was a little bit tense.
• 10:12
  And that was the time when the kids were, you know, you know,
• 10:15
  it was hard work. You know, they weren't bad, but
• 10:17
  like, it was, you know, much more.
• 10:20
  Yeah, no, we did that with my daughter's suitcase once we left
• 10:22
  at home, so we just had to go to the supermarket and just buy her
• 10:24
  new clothes. Oh, yeah.
• 10:26
  No, this was, this was everything.
• 10:28
  So no, this. Yeah.
• 10:30
  And because if it was the plane journey, of course you'd have
• 10:32
  been gone. You know, you would have just
• 10:33
  had to do that. But yeah.
• 10:35
  And then my mother there just to witness my shame was just, that
• 10:38
  was a little bit too much. But anyway.
• 10:45
  Friends of ours were due to fly out tomorrow to Germany to do
• 10:48
  the Christmas markets in Germany.
• 10:50
  Oh cool. So they were getting everything
• 10:52
  set up. Was it tomorrow or Friday?
• 10:54
  One of the days they're getting everything set up and packed and
• 10:56
  sorted And they, they looked at their tickets online, the flight
• 11:01
  tickets online and it said, you know, make sure you've got at
• 11:03
  least at least three months left on your passport.
• 11:08
  And they realised their kids didn't have three months left on
• 11:10
  their passports so they're not able to go.
• 11:12
  Oh, I can't get an emergency passport.
• 11:15
  Not that quick, it takes like 3 days for emergency 1 so yeah
• 11:19
  they've only got like a month left on the passport so.
• 11:22
  They didn't try anyway. What?
• 11:23
  Happens when they leave the European Union, no?
• 11:26
  Like when they when they check they wouldn't even let them on
• 11:28
  the flight so. Oh.
• 11:31
  No. Oh, that's rough.
• 11:32
  Yes, nightmare. And then we have Black Friday as
• 11:36
  well. Did you guys get sucked into
• 11:38
  Black Friday? No, no, I think it was.
• 11:40
  Very, very good I. Didn't actually I bought.
• 11:42
  I bought 1 figure because I didn't get anything at Comic Con
• 11:45
  when I went at the weekend. So I treat myself to one figure
• 11:47
  on Black Friday 0. Nice.
• 11:49
  Well, it was a Marvel Legends tombstone.
• 11:52
  It was basically Black Friday 3 weeks last month because it's
• 11:56
  been, it was long for ages. You know, it's kind of, it's
• 12:00
  good. As I said, it's good.
• 12:01
  If you needed some. We have Clees in tomorrow, which
• 12:05
  is Saint Nicholas. He's coming.
• 12:07
  That's when he comes. So Santa is coming tomorrow
• 12:10
  basically for the kids. Does Krampus come with him or is
• 12:13
  Krampus a second? Thing But he's called hose.
• 12:15
  Captain in Luxembourg. Yeah, he's called Hose.
• 12:17
  Right. He makes this kind of, all he
• 12:20
  does is go behind Santa. Yeah.
• 12:25
  And the gig is then you, you, you.
• 12:27
  So Santa, you, you have to, you have to arrange it, you know.
• 12:30
  And Santa comes, you know, So it's actually last year and this
• 12:36
  year it's actually their cousin from next door.
• 12:38
  He's 18 now. And he's been doing it because
• 12:42
  it's usually the youth club that used to traditionally do it.
• 12:44
  So he's actually doing it with a mate.
• 12:46
  So his mate is the hozicker slash grandpas and.
• 12:52
  And yeah, so he has to kind of really deepen his voice, you
• 12:54
  know, because otherwise the kids are low.
• 12:56
  He is. And now my daughter knows what's
• 12:59
  going on because she's 11 and this is probably Ben's last
• 13:02
  year. Plan is to kind of let him know,
• 13:04
  you know, you know. Seems like one of those things.
• 13:07
  I think he knows already. He's just, he's a good he knows
• 13:10
  where his bread is, bored and wants to get his stuff, you
• 13:12
  know? No, I don't blame him on that
• 13:14
  one. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:15
  So but it's a bit of crack and yeah.
• 13:18
  And then you just you just slip him, you slip him a list of
• 13:21
  that. You do a little list of what he
• 13:23
  is needs to say to the kids. You know what, what they did
• 13:25
  good and what they did bad. You know, you just give them a
• 13:28
  few few little things to embarrass them basically before
• 13:33
  they get their bag of goodies. So, yeah, so, so cyber whatever
• 13:37
  month has been good for picking up a few bits for that.
• 13:39
  But yeah, I got I got my daughter.
• 13:43
  My daughter wanted the keyboard. So I'd ordered her one.
• 13:45
  And of course the young had saw it being delivered from Amazon,
• 13:49
  not in packaging, but actually in packaging that shows it's a
• 13:52
  keyboard because I didn't see the button.
• 13:55
  I didn't see the button that said you could This is coming in
• 13:58
  the packaging from, you know, it shows that it is.
• 14:01
  So now she's getting that for Christmas explained to her and
• 14:05
  said yeah, if you're not getting that that much stuff tomorrow,
• 14:08
  it's because your keyboard to give an out because of your
• 14:12
  brother and she's she was cool with that.
• 14:14
  She but yeah, that was a bit unfortunate.
• 14:17
  Yeah, it's. A shame.
• 14:21
  Yeah, it's, I mean, at least a couple of years ago when the
• 14:24
  Barbie House came, they weren't here because that just came like
• 14:27
  literally in a in a massive box that said Barbie House showed
• 14:31
  the big picture of the Barbie House and the delivery sticker
• 14:35
  on it. And there was no way of getting
• 14:37
  that. There was no option on Amazon to
• 14:39
  get it delivered in a box. Like you couldn't.
• 14:41
  You should be like that. She dads don't don't mind.
• 14:45
  I needed some. I didn't want to.
• 14:46
  I didn't want a castle so I thought I'd get a house.
• 14:48
  I'm good, Yeah. I'm going to spray paint it
• 14:50
  black occasions in it. Then you'd have to sit there for
• 14:54
  the whole period in the Barbie house going yeah, it's
• 14:56
  definitely mine. Yeah, yours is the tiny 1.
• 15:01
  You know that fits half a Barbie, so that's going to be
• 15:05
  fun for them. It's fun for us because we get
• 15:07
  to sit there and watch it and drink wine and eat stuff so.
• 15:13
  Excellent play with play with your 3 Donatellos sewage layer
• 15:17
  things that you got from Mecca. I mean not ordered any.
• 15:21
  That was mad, was it? No, no, I ordered.
• 15:25
  Did you not see? Did you not?
• 15:26
  See the drama about that. Yeah, I did see the drama about
• 15:29
  that, yeah, but I wasn't involved in it.
• 15:31
  Now I ordered the first appearance turtles and despite
• 15:35
  the apology that was during legions con, still haven't sent
• 15:39
  them out yet. Yeah.
• 15:44
  Not getting irritated by it at all now.
• 15:47
  Clearly not. Seen other people getting
• 15:51
  irritated about Mezco putting up.
• 15:53
  Oh well. In stock, In stock figures that
• 15:56
  have like a 10/9 to 12 week lead time.
• 16:00
  Yeah, and putting them off. That's what else I ordered stuff
• 16:02
  paid for upfront and still don't have.
• 16:06
  Oh dear, one of the Mexico. What was it?
• 16:08
  I got the. Turtle or turtle, Yeah, yeah,
• 16:10
  because I really liked the more beefy look to him so.
• 16:14
  And who's this orange female character?
• 16:16
  The female, she's one of the. That's just the.
• 16:18
  One of their own Rumble. Rumble Society and I was
• 16:22
  tempted, but again, I can't. I've bought multiples of the
• 16:27
  spoiler, multiples of the Figure Obscura, got to pay for the
• 16:31
  retail well, paid for the retail wave.
• 16:33
  I couldn't. I can't buy anything else.
• 16:35
  Yeah, if I was, if I was in America, I probably would have
• 16:38
  got sucked into that rumble society because of the the way
• 16:42
  they do their shipping and their expensive.
• 16:45
  Obviously, yeah, really expensive.
• 16:46
  Increases the price of big time double S the price pretty much
• 16:50
  you're talking about 480 stuff it.
• 16:55
  I mean the neck of things has been such an an utter shit show
• 16:58
  with the shipping. I can only think AWOK people are
• 17:00
  running it for them now. The only time I've seen it that
• 17:04
  bad before I can only think they they've hired them.
• 17:08
  Well, you had I emailed. Them.
• 17:10
  I did, I emailed them to, I emailed them to say hi, you
• 17:14
  know, polite, very polite, oh blah blah blah.
• 17:16
  It's been 3 weeks and still heard nothing.
• 17:18
  Just want to check that I haven't been missed.
• 17:21
  Sorry for the delay, We've just recently updated our computer
• 17:24
  system like that was not the time.
• 17:29
  Did not be updating your computer for Christmas.
• 17:32
  Don't. Don't be well when you've got
• 17:34
  this shit going on. Especially as well with the.
• 17:36
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 17:39
  So as. Maybe that's why they had to
• 17:41
  update it, or maybe that's that's what happened when they
• 17:44
  were stated. Make sure all of those above,
• 17:49
  all of the above. Yeah, right.
• 17:52
  Shall we, shall we get on with this?
• 17:53
  So, Mal, you're going to be doing the heavy lifting here
• 17:55
  because I know not much about this figure because I took a
• 17:58
  look at it and said no, not for me, and kind of stepped away.
• 18:01
  So we have the Ghost of Christmas past.
• 18:05
  No, I will say it's a very cool figure.
• 18:08
  I just don't like it personally. From my collection.
• 18:12
  Whatever. Yeah.
• 18:14
  And given the state of the wallets and everything, that's
• 18:18
  what it needs to be and you're rich.
• 18:20
  You're the similar boat. Pretty much the same thing,
• 18:22
  basically. Yeah, I think the idea of
• 18:24
  forearms is extremely cool. And as a figure itself, it it
• 18:29
  looks good, but just not for me. And with the cost of that plus
• 18:33
  shipping plus everything, it's just like, no, I'm not.
• 18:36
  I'm not the completist with the figure obscure.
• 18:39
  Like I didn't get the red mask, although Brett's not us, very
• 18:43
  generously sent me one through the post.
• 18:44
  But I'm not a completist. So if it doesn't appeal to me,
• 18:47
  even if it's a ghost for the Jacob Marley thing, I'm there.
• 18:52
  Yeah. So there won't be any bought for
• 18:53
  me. What man made-up for us so I.
• 18:56
  Did yeah, I genuinely did. I I mean I, I did my usual boom,
• 19:03
  buy the oil in as soon as I possibly can, but as I looked at
• 19:07
  it, I was like, yeah, that's actually really, really cool.
• 19:11
  I and. I think the oil in was 80 was
• 19:13
  it? That's pretty reasonable.
• 19:14
  It was a really good price. Yeah, this time 20 dollars
• 19:18
  shipping as well. So it came in just on the 100?
• 19:22
  That's pretty good for all that stuff, isn't it?
• 19:24
  Yeah, yeah. That's that's part of why I was
• 19:26
  like, yeah. Just carry on the pins and the
• 19:28
  mug and the cards. I mean, it's back to being a
• 19:32
  proper mug, although I never used them.
• 19:34
  I need to find a way to display them all really.
• 19:38
  I've got loads of mugs more. Oh I drink tea out of my Krampus
• 19:41
  and Anubis mug all the time. My wife uses the are not
• 19:46
  Krampus. It was the Headless Horseman.
• 19:50
  Yes. I didn't get the Krampus one
• 19:51
  because that one the all in sold out like instantly.
• 19:55
  Yeah, I think they were. They're much rarer.
• 19:59
  Well, yeah, I just don't like to use them because I don't want
• 20:02
  any staining in them or anything like that.
• 20:06
  So I need to work out how to display them.
• 20:08
  I'll work it out at some point. Yeah.
• 20:10
  I saw kind of the things you've touched on about why I like
• 20:13
  Sarah. I saw the the forearms and I
• 20:16
  don't mean the bare forearms, I mean the forearms and the but
• 20:22
  also the bare forearms. And the way they've done the
• 20:27
  head I thought was really cool because they've done it again
• 20:29
  where the head that the hair lifts off.
• 20:31
  So you get multiple faces. They've done 3 heads,
• 20:35
  essentially three faces. The one that's the sort of more
• 20:39
  youthful childlike slash woman, then one that's halfway between
• 20:46
  that and becoming more sort of corrupted and, you know,
• 20:51
  disfigured and then a fully sort of corrupted and disfigured one.
• 20:56
  And then you've got the cool DIO piece.
• 20:59
  And then I was sort of, I was sort of tempted even more when I
• 21:03
  saw the pictures that Jeremy actually that Jeremy posted of
• 21:08
  the bear torso underneath because it's such a good base
• 21:13
  for it felt like to me such a good base for customizing.
• 21:18
  It's essentially a blank mythic Legions figure that female, of
• 21:22
  course, but she's also feels a bit more muscular than your
• 21:26
  standard 2.0. Yeah, blank.
• 21:32
  On to which version is so I just liked that about it.
• 21:37
  So I ended up buying the one that will stay in box, the one
• 21:40
  I'll open and displays her, and then two more for potentially
• 21:43
  customizing. Are you carrying the podcast?
• 21:47
  Well, Mal, well done. Thank you.
• 21:48
  Thank you. And then I'm, I'm super
• 21:52
  intrigued, but I'm so pleased they've said there's a free,
• 21:55
  there's a freebie in there, a sneaky little freebie.
• 21:57
  And I'm. Yeah.
• 21:58
  So that's going to. Yeah, but they said not to spoil
• 22:01
  that until I think 25th of December fingers.
• 22:05
  Crossed people. That's already been people
• 22:07
  whining now. Please spoil that in our in our
• 22:10
  little WhatsApp chat that we have, yeah.
• 22:12
  Yeah. Feel free to spoil that because
• 22:14
  neither of us are going to know. Yeah, go for it.
• 22:17
  Melanie Also, if it's something you really want, it might give
• 22:20
  you the incentive I suppose. But I do love how they've asked
• 22:22
  people to keep something quiet and people are moaning about
• 22:26
  being asked not to spoil something.
• 22:29
  It's the weirdest. Mentality.
• 22:30
  It's literally just like like of course nobody you can be
• 22:33
  prosecuted if you do spoil it, but like.
• 22:36
  Yeah. But they're just asking in the
• 22:38
  official group, not spoil it. Just think of other people's
• 22:42
  excitement. Like somebody, somebody will now
• 22:47
  spoil it as soon as they possibly can.
• 22:48
  I guarantee it. Because they're plain and simply
• 22:51
  an A hole. And unfortunately there are
• 22:55
  there are a few of those in the cabal.
• 22:58
  So, you know, they're the ones that did it last time with Jake
• 23:00
  and Marley. Now it took a couple of weeks,
• 23:03
  but you know, they they made the point of going, oh, look what it
• 23:05
  is. It's just like, and then
• 23:08
  ridiculed anyone that said, well, that's my surprise gone
• 23:10
  when it arrived. So they're going to do it.
• 23:13
  Thanks for that. Yeah.
• 23:15
  So we'll see. But yeah, I mean, let's get away
• 23:19
  from that. Anyway, back to what I think is
• 23:20
  a very, very cool figure. I've sort of, I went on the
• 23:24
  Trevor's little show, little show that's insulting Trevor's
• 23:27
  show that he does on the reveal day.
• 23:30
  And he sort of asked about my opinions of Christmas Carol and
• 23:34
  whether I'm a fan. And it's sort of like I think
• 23:37
  Christmas carols great. But actually what I'm really
• 23:39
  liking about these is that ghostly aspect that sort of, you
• 23:43
  know, after they did Marley, I was kind of like the horsemen of
• 23:47
  do a really nice job of making like Ghostbusters villains and
• 23:51
  characters and that sort of thing.
• 23:53
  So she's another one that fits that for me.
• 23:57
  So yeah, I think she's really good.
• 24:00
  And yet yet another exceptional diabetes I've already.
• 24:03
  Touched on yeah, I just feel like even it's a blank body for
• 24:07
  customs. I just don't do many female
• 24:10
  customs and I have so many blank other are other bodies that I
• 24:14
  need to do customs with and I'm struggling just to get those
• 24:17
  done so just decided that even that wasn't rude.
• 24:23
  I mean, it's, it's a cool figure, but as I said, I think
• 24:26
  possibly for me the soft goods carry it too much in terms of a
• 24:32
  figure. And for the females, I yeah, I
• 24:36
  just. I think that's always difficult.
• 24:38
  Females. I think it's always a difficult
• 24:41
  balancing act, isn't it? With the soft goods, because
• 24:43
  they look amazing, but they cover almost the entire figure.
• 24:46
  So it's like, well, that could be anything underneath.
• 24:48
  So it is. It's a very difficult balancing
• 24:51
  act. Yeah.
• 24:52
  And of course, of course you can, you know, the leg can poke
• 24:55
  out of the skirt and all that kind of stuff.
• 24:57
  So. But you could just throw any 2.0
• 24:59
  legs there and use those legs for custom if you just want to
• 25:02
  display it, kind of, I must admit, covering it.
• 25:05
  I must admit I was surprised we got what we got underneath based
• 25:09
  on what they did with Santa Claus.
• 25:12
  Something more blank, you know? Something more.
• 25:14
  Yeah, Generic. So, but I think they're they're
• 25:20
  moving away from that now. They're trying to give value
• 25:22
  wherever they can. Yeah, I love the diode piece,
• 25:25
  the lamp with the candle in it. Isn't that so good?
• 25:28
  Yeah, and those I did watch Dorkers review and those little,
• 25:34
  those little triangular things are actually things, you know,
• 25:39
  for putting out a candle. Yes, you know.
• 25:42
  Yeah. So it's also you can wear she
• 25:46
  can wear it on her head and it's like you've.
• 25:47
  The one that looks more a bit more like a trumpet is going on
• 25:52
  ahead. Yeah, pardon me.
• 25:55
  So. And, and yeah, the kind of
• 25:57
  zombified face is pretty cool as well.
• 26:00
  We got this art which I think has caused a lot of happy
• 26:04
  discussion in the groups. It's basically Jim as Fezzywick
• 26:10
  and then cast of characters from the studio.
• 26:13
  So we have that's apparently Jim's wife, the lady in the
• 26:19
  yellow. Yes, I actually recognized her.
• 26:22
  From them exactly. Yeah.
• 26:25
  And we got Cameron, of course, master of the coming miniature
• 26:30
  game, as well as painter of many of the cool action figures that
• 26:34
  we have in hand. And there's Vern there on the
• 26:38
  far left. So he's one of the guys that
• 26:41
  helps with the art that works in the warehouse with the cookie.
• 26:46
  A cookie is there as well, playing the violin.
• 26:50
  And then we have Walter and Jeremy.
• 26:54
  It is mean. Jeremy 1 is so good.
• 26:58
  I think those two on the end of it.
• 27:00
  I like Walter's sort of pirate expression and then Jeremy is
• 27:04
  just so funny that way. I mean, he's captured the
• 27:06
  likeness so well of these people that we know.
• 27:09
  So it's incredible to be that good of an artist.
• 27:13
  I mean, he'd probably just say, yeah, I can, I can, I can do it.
• 27:18
  Richest football team. The scores SO11. 1.
• 27:23
  This is all news everybody. The only Figure Obscura review
• 27:31
  slash podcast with the football scores.
• 27:34
  What an insult. And The thing is, after
• 27:37
  recording this now celebrating, we'll lose like 4-1 or
• 27:39
  something. I'll be like, no, just cut that
• 27:40
  bit out, John, just cut it out. I don't do that.
• 27:45
  I don't do that. Errors and technical problems,
• 27:50
  right. So that's the magnetic thing
• 27:54
  that goes around it, isn't it? Yeah, we saw it here at the
• 27:56
  start, the wrap around to the first picture you see.
• 27:59
  It's the wrap around there. They're so good.
• 28:01
  So. Yeah, so.
• 28:03
  I've been magnified. One of all the ones I've I've
• 28:05
  got one of all of them. Kept one of all of them and then
• 28:08
  I gave a few. You could just get a big, you
• 28:10
  could just get a big metal board and actually magnetize them all
• 28:13
  to it. Couldn't.
• 28:14
  You. Yeah, it's a really good idea.
• 28:16
  It's. A very good show there you.
• 28:17
  Go see not just a pretty face, not even that, some wonderful
• 28:23
  Trevor Williams photography. As usual, he goes to town on
• 28:26
  these figures. So at these figure obscures, he
• 28:32
  always does an amazing job. And this time, of course, he has
• 28:37
  as well see her. They're kind of floating above
• 28:41
  the lamp and everything. How he's done that now I know
• 28:45
  he's probably he has her suspended there and has managed
• 28:49
  to Photoshop out the thing that's been near, but even
• 28:51
  still, the pose is magnificent. It's great, isn't it Really
• 28:56
  good? And I think the advantage he has
• 28:59
  here, I mean, is that he does the photos with the production
• 29:02
  figure. So that of course helps the her
• 29:08
  little kind of hook with the lamp lamp thing or the belting
• 29:14
  on it holding by the the rear hand.
• 29:18
  So it's a real, it's a real mind messer here.
• 29:21
  You've got one of the rear hands right up in the front of the
• 29:24
  ferret frame and one of the other rear hands holding the
• 29:26
  thing right at the back. So yeah, very, very cool.
• 29:33
  And yeah, just pity two of us didn't buy her.
• 29:41
  She's a lovely figure, Justin. Yeah, just doesn't do it for me.
• 29:44
  Figure obscure arena. It's like if I love it, I'll buy
• 29:46
  it, if I don't, it leaves. It's one of those as.
• 29:48
  Well, as come at the time. Sorry, Matt.
• 29:50
  Yeah, that, that's, no, it's exactly what I was about to say
• 29:53
  is what you're about to say. It's a time where you may be
• 29:55
  like, I don't need to spend the money on that.
• 29:58
  So it's just how it goes. Yeah, exactly.
• 30:01
  Yeah, but very happy for everyone.
• 30:07
  So it looks like we're getting a series of Christmas Carol
• 30:11
  figures. What did we say?
• 30:12
  Now there's another 2 ghosts. Yeah, and it's conjecture
• 30:18
  because obviously the studio will will not possibly won't
• 30:21
  tell us until but people are suggesting they think might get
• 30:26
  Marley as well because they. Normally we've already got.
• 30:31
  Scrooge, because the the Christmas Carol itself is split
• 30:36
  up into five stanzas. This is stanza 2.
• 30:40
  And of course, if we only get the 3 ghosts of Mali, that's
• 30:43
  only four stanzas. So conjecture and guesses that
• 30:46
  we might get Scrooge at some point as well, which will be a
• 30:50
  good looking figure if we do, I imagine.
• 30:53
  I mean, they all will be, but it's interesting, it's going to
• 30:55
  be interesting to see what they do with the next two because
• 30:58
  they're much more. It's basically more often than
• 31:02
  not, Ghost to Christmas present is a giant Santa Ghost to
• 31:07
  Christmas future or yet to come, as he's also called his death
• 31:12
  essentially. So it'd be very interesting to
• 31:14
  see what they do with them. There's some more of my my
• 31:18
  collecting streets, so looking forward to them.
• 31:22
  Yeah, people are thinking that the Christmas present will be a
• 31:26
  more oversized figure, so scale or scale something would be
• 31:30
  awesome for a distance. But there again, you've already
• 31:33
  seen somebody post up earlier going, well, why do they need to
• 31:35
  bother doing those? Because you've got Father
• 31:37
  Christmas and we've got Max Ilyas, so you could do different
• 31:40
  things instead. It's like really, really.
• 31:43
  Come on, I. Mean knowing Eric to be, he will
• 31:50
  do something with A twist won't he?
• 31:52
  He has done so far and everything and.
• 31:56
  These these figures are also supposed to, you know, spread
• 31:58
  the net wider than just us legions fans, you know, so.
• 32:04
  Yeah. It might be something that looks
• 32:06
  like, you know, to us looks like Maxillius, but to the outside is
• 32:10
  like, oh, that's the ghost of Christmas yet to come from that
• 32:15
  thing that I like and I like the figure and they never have seen
• 32:20
  the Maxillius figure or something similar.
• 32:21
  So you know, it's just, it's just a way to kind of expand the
• 32:24
  audience, you know, and I'm sure they won't do it in a copy of of
• 32:29
  Legions figure. You know, the closest one to
• 32:31
  being a copy of Allegiance figure so far is probably
• 32:36
  Krampus, the very first one, because it's the only difference
• 32:39
  is the head scopes and the fur. Otherwise it's like a legions
• 32:44
  monitor build. Well, and I think it just
• 32:48
  suggests, doesn't it, that since then these have been that
• 32:51
  popular, they can afford to handle that tuning.
• 32:54
  Yeah, exactly that. Yeah, and I did see there's a
• 32:57
  new that that arms piece at the back.
• 33:00
  It's not the same piece they use for the bone arms.
• 33:03
  It's a newer, a new piece again. So cool.
• 33:06
  Another little piece in the library, you know, Maybe
• 33:10
  multiple snake arms, Rich or snake.
• 33:13
  Pieces I can only hope. I'm sure I maintain in in the
• 33:20
  ashes of AG Bendor wave, the what used to be the the All Star
• 33:24
  wave. I reckon we're getting another
• 33:26
  snake of some kind, another snake and of some kind.
• 33:28
  I'm going to maintain that until we we do or we don't.
• 33:32
  Absolutely. Yeah, Right.
• 33:37
  So that is the figure Obscura. Not not our finest review, I
• 33:42
  suppose, because we weren't all super enthusiastic about it, but
• 33:46
  we're. Always honest.
• 33:48
  With us, Yeah. I think you did all wrong.
• 33:50
  Yeah, you weren't. You weren't.
• 33:51
  Yeah. Unfair.
• 33:53
  And I'd like to apologise for anyone viewing who saw my over
• 33:56
  dramatic reaction when we missed an open goal.
• 33:58
  Yeah. You know sport, right?
• 34:01
  Let's let's get through this. So let's move on to the Legions
• 34:04
  configure and have a little intro from somebody.
• 34:08
  Hey, ladies and gents, this is Dewiz Adam Power on YouTube and
• 34:12
  you're listening to the Euro Legions podcast.
• 34:16
  Thank you is very kind of you. So the first one I brought up
• 34:21
  for obvious reasons, because we've already waxed lyrical
• 34:24
  about him a number of times is the Ninian infantry.
• 34:28
  So I thought we'd go through them again.
• 34:31
  Did we read the bio already? Mal, do you remember?
• 34:33
  I don't think we have, have we? No, no, I remember the thing,
• 34:37
  but that's from the G con. So maybe we should just read the
• 34:41
  bio, because this bio is great, Yeah.
• 34:43
  To get it you can. Bring it up.
• 34:44
  Yeah. So this figure was first teased
• 34:51
  in the background of one of the photos seen during the reveal of
• 34:54
  Reign of the Beasts. So we saw it in the background.
• 34:58
  Snuck it in, didn't he? Was a basilia.
• 35:02
  And then it appeared in the dial and then was on the table.
• 35:08
  Or, well, it was actually in a rack, Yeah.
• 35:10
  No, it was actually a table that was on the table for purchase,
• 35:15
  so yeah. Thank God, I'm just having a
• 35:18
  problem finding it on the side. I regret not going back early to
• 35:22
  get another couple. When I had, I went back to get
• 35:26
  one and they were gone, but I'd had still got 3.
• 35:29
  So that's more than a lot of people listening.
• 35:32
  So don't feel sad for me or anything, just when they hear
• 35:36
  people like 6 and I think Eric Miller.
• 35:39
  You know, man, I wish it. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:42
  And I gave 1 to my kid because he loves snake men.
• 35:45
  So, you know, you're a good dad. Yeah, but, you know, do you mind
• 35:50
  if I repaint that? If.
• 35:52
  We're talking about good parenting.
• 35:54
  I gave one of the little gold ducks to my daughter.
• 35:56
  So for the armoury build here, Rich, thanks.
• 36:00
  Thank you, Mal. I'm nearly there, guys.
• 36:04
  Give me a minute. I'm right up there, right?
• 36:06
  And did you see that Mark Calvo, did he tease these little net
• 36:10
  extension piece? Did I see?
• 36:12
  Yeah, Mark was. Mark was pinging me all the sort
• 36:16
  of in draft sculpts and all this sort of stuff.
• 36:18
  And what do you reckon? What do you think?
• 36:20
  You know, And it's like, oh dude, these are awesome.
• 36:23
  I need to just put a big order in with him, to be honest, I
• 36:26
  said to him at legions kind. I'm not going to buy too much
• 36:28
  from you here because I might as well.
• 36:29
  It's not, you know, it's not that expensive.
• 36:32
  Is it shipping for, from for? When he showed me the the long
• 36:36
  there. You go so.
• 36:37
  Yeah, when he showed me this and he was just like what else sort
• 36:40
  of stuff do you think? And I was like, well you know, 2
• 36:42
  headed snake could be good. And it's like, funny you should
• 36:44
  mention that. There's really want that one?
• 36:50
  There's what he posted. So he yeah, he did the neck
• 36:52
  extension really nice paint match on here in this photo.
• 36:56
  So really nicely done. He's he is yeah.
• 37:00
  And he's artist. I feel he's making me feel well,
• 37:04
  not him. Everyone is making me feel bad
• 37:06
  now because I I've all I've managed to do is prime some
• 37:08
  stuff since I got back from legions gone and I had so much
• 37:12
  energy the first couple of days and that petered out in the
• 37:15
  middle of trying to clear the room and and I just lost it And
• 37:19
  then I. Got.
• 37:20
  Busy with the podcast and everything in there.
• 37:23
  Yeah. And then other stuff.
• 37:25
  Yeah, exactly. You know, and then you have with
• 37:28
  the birthday, we had people over you just you have to be there.
• 37:32
  You have to be kind of involved. So anyway, that's, that's Mark's
• 37:36
  awesome neck piece. So pretty cool.
• 37:40
  Very cool. And you should watch out for
• 37:43
  them going up on sale on his website.
• 37:46
  I'm sure if you if you comment on the post that he's posted, he
• 37:51
  will. Oh, and I think he says there
• 37:56
  that it's already been added to his site.
• 37:59
  So just go to his site, call about customs.
• 38:01
  Oh quick need. To go on that.
• 38:03
  There you go. Might be on Christmas now
• 38:05
  though, yeah. Exactly, Mark.
• 38:07
  Sorry, Mark, we're all skint. So anyway, ninja infantry.
• 38:14
  In the First Age of Mythos, the forces of Basilia included
• 38:17
  numerous members of the Coatl, a divert diverse race of
• 38:21
  reptilians whose features mirrored that of Basilia
• 38:24
  herself. Whilst this race has long since
• 38:27
  vanished from the realm, records kept in the library of AG Bendor
• 38:30
  detail a society that was structured and disciplined.
• 38:34
  Borne by Pedal, young Coatl Coatlians often served as
• 38:39
  workers or soldiers, including the extensive ranks that were
• 38:43
  known as the Ninian Infantry. As Coatlians grew older or
• 38:47
  gained more knowledge, they shed their legs in favour of
• 38:50
  Serpentine lower bodies and rose to become Royal Guards, High
• 38:54
  Mages, or other honoured positions serving the winged
• 38:57
  serpent. So that was a cool little bit in
• 39:01
  the bio that I, I kind of missed up until now doing the research
• 39:07
  for this, that they said they have legs when they're younger
• 39:11
  and as they grow older, they shed the legs and have a tail.
• 39:15
  So that, that's a really smart way of explaining how these guys
• 39:20
  have legs like human like style legs, not human legs.
• 39:25
  Obviously they're reptilian legs, but not the single snake
• 39:31
  tail piece. I remember in the the Royal
• 39:36
  Guards, we talked about the high mages in there because that was
• 39:39
  what made me say and and along with the the mention of the
• 39:46
  records in the library of AG Bendor.
• 39:49
  So that's what makes me think we're going to get another one,
• 39:52
  possibly a high mage in in that wave.
• 39:55
  So, yeah, which because we all. Need more more of these.
• 40:00
  Hopefully when they do go for sale, one will have.
• 40:04
  Exposable cash and two, they aren't kind of gone in 60
• 40:08
  seconds because I think the hype has been pretty real for these
• 40:12
  guys, so you know. It has, although I think they
• 40:14
  learned a lesson with the valley at night, so I think they
• 40:16
  probably would have ordered a lot more of these.
• 40:19
  Yeah, but still, you know, they thought they'd ordered a lot of
• 40:23
  skeleton and they hadn't. Is the photo I've shown here on
• 40:26
  here before, but that's my little it's.
• 40:29
  A really cool photo you. Don't know.
• 40:30
  It's good. I love our customs.
• 40:32
  I love it as well. Yeah.
• 40:34
  Say, here is some of the website shots then of the figure, so you
• 40:40
  kind of see what you get. So I'm here.
• 40:43
  Look absolutely that. Weapon that makes the colour of
• 40:48
  the top of it. Yeah, it looks so much like it
• 40:51
  could be a gem of some kind. I love it.
• 40:58
  Yeah, let me see there. Yeah.
• 40:59
  Yeah. Got his tail sneaking around.
• 41:01
  You see that? All all mine look like that
• 41:04
  thanks to Ben. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 41:07
  Ben. My kid did that.
• 41:09
  That's a really cool thing that you can do.
• 41:11
  But yeah, well put together figure, isn't it?
• 41:17
  Yeah. And yeah, look at that pretty
• 41:21
  dynamic as well. Spear.
• 41:23
  So I think yeah, spear and the kind of a yeah bladed club,
• 41:29
  perfect for a snake guy. It's one of those, isn't it?
• 41:32
  Rich has gone on about lizard men and snake men for a long
• 41:35
  time, and I thought that'd be cool.
• 41:36
  I've always, you know, I've never not wanted them.
• 41:39
  But now we've got it. Actually, it's even better than
• 41:42
  I thought it might be, really. Yeah.
• 41:45
  And they went a little bit extra here with the back piece there.
• 41:48
  That's not exactly the same back piece as you get on Tiger.
• 41:55
  And of course, smart when they were designing this torso that
• 41:58
  they did it that way that you could plug in different types of
• 42:00
  pieces to make it slightly different.
• 42:04
  So very cool. And there's all the stuff that
• 42:08
  you get bunch of hands as well. So you get all the different
• 42:10
  type of snake. And so that means that they're
• 42:12
  already tooled, you know, already.
• 42:16
  Yeah. Well, and there's trigands in
• 42:19
  there, so you can use them as the, there's a cut.
• 42:21
  You can swap them out and make it cosmic like yeah.
• 42:24
  Yeah, trigger hands are important for the old Cosmics.
• 42:27
  So, so yeah, I think A10 and we will I suppose before year end
• 42:33
  we do maybe the maybe the episode after next be doing our
• 42:38
  top 10s of the year, top five top 10s.
• 42:41
  I still have the spreadsheet from last year.
• 42:43
  So it would be pretty easy to for us to just fill that out
• 42:46
  with the same format again. So if you remember the one from
• 42:50
  last year, we'll do the same. Now that we have Patreons, I
• 42:54
  think I'll even send it out to the Patreons and we can their
• 42:58
  choices and any anyone else that wants to, to just shout out
• 43:03
  their choices. Just comment on our posts or
• 43:05
  your allegiancepodcast@gmail.com.
• 43:07
  Of course, for all your correspondence, you know, hit us
• 43:10
  up, tell us what you think. Tell us if we're getting it all
• 43:12
  wrong, getting it all right, something in between.
• 43:17
  I may have missed it, but are the pauldrons new or are they?
• 43:21
  No, they're from the reworked, I think from Focus Familias.
• 43:28
  You see again different patent job and just don't recognize
• 43:31
  them. Yeah, and this little blue, the
• 43:33
  little blue bit on the pauldron at the front, you see it there?
• 43:37
  That just makes a big difference.
• 43:39
  No, not on the TV where the football is on the screen where
• 43:42
  we're talking. Just.
• 43:47
  We're losing 2 ones. I'm losing interest now.
• 43:50
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 43:50
  And if you just lose more interest and then and then you
• 43:54
  might win 3 or whatever. Apologies viewers, listeners and
• 43:59
  the like. Apologies Co host Sue.
• 44:04
  I love the paddling on the shield too.
• 44:05
  I like, I love the it's, it's a really simple colours with the
• 44:08
  yellow and the green, but I really like how that works.
• 44:12
  I think it's quite interesting because in some ways I feel like
• 44:15
  it's so different. It almost for me feels like it
• 44:21
  clashes with everything every all the other colours, but it
• 44:24
  does really, really work. Oh, it does.
• 44:26
  Yeah, absolutely. It does indeed.
• 44:28
  Yeah. So yeah, Love this figure.
• 44:31
  Can't wait to get more and can't wait to get even different types
• 44:34
  of the same figure. Just repaint the figure.
• 44:37
  Put a few different things with them.
• 44:39
  That's the thing, isn't it? It's longer.
• 44:41
  Crazy. Yeah, yeah, I think so anyway,
• 44:46
  you know, maybe, maybe a different head, you know, so you
• 44:48
  could definitely do this with the different paint scheme and
• 44:50
  one different head. I can see Motu Snake Man
• 44:53
  tributes already in the future. Yes, yeah, these well with,
• 44:58
  with. Mark Curtis did an amazing Cobra
• 45:01
  can. Do you remember?
• 45:02
  Did you see that? Yes, that look really.
• 45:04
  Good. Oh, that was really good.
• 45:05
  Yeah. That's like an unreleased head,
• 45:07
  isn't it? By Wolf King, Which when that
• 45:09
  comes out I'll be all over that. Yeah, exactly.
• 45:11
  Yeah. So Curtis had managed to.
• 45:14
  I think he does test painting and fitting and whatever he's
• 45:19
  involved with being. So yeah, he gets he gets first
• 45:24
  dip sometimes and he made a great job there of advertising
• 45:26
  it. There's already going to sell a
• 45:28
  bunch of them on day one when it gets released.
• 45:30
  So that's I guess that's the purpose.
• 45:32
  It's. Going to go well now and.
• 45:35
  Yep. But that's the thing.
• 45:37
  I mean, there's plenty, you know, there's that head scope
• 45:38
  come in. There's the Cobra one that Jason
• 45:40
  Rodriguez did. There's the snake or lizard with
• 45:44
  a headdress. Again, works with this.
• 45:46
  There's the snake with the tongue sticking out and no
• 45:49
  headdress. Again, you know, so if you're,
• 45:51
  if you're able to paint or you can get someone to paint for
• 45:53
  you, there's all sorts of combinations.
• 45:54
  You can do all this already. Yeah, I think dwarf Lord toy
• 45:57
  designs or whatever they're called.
• 46:00
  Or dirt. I forget which one it is.
• 46:02
  I've done. I think he's about.
• 46:04
  With them, I think they do their heads and he does the print.
• 46:06
  Oh, they've done some snake stuff recently, have they?
• 46:09
  I don't know if it was, it was lizard of some, yeah, but yeah,
• 46:11
  yeah. OK, one of the more recent ones.
• 46:13
  Oh, I'll find it for you afterwards.
• 46:16
  Cool, right, Let's get on to the two packs, why don't we?
• 46:20
  So first up, we have a couple of photos from that.
• 46:22
  So tell us, see, this is what you did with your two packs
• 46:25
  basically. Yeah, you got 2.
• 46:27
  Was it for yourself? Yeah, talked a little bit about
• 46:30
  this in the last show, but yeah, well, about 3 packs.
• 46:33
  One will stay in the box. Unfortunately, I didn't get it
• 46:37
  signed. I missed.
• 46:38
  I didn't catch a bell. I just missed to get it signed.
• 46:41
  I'll come on guys, whoever is in.
• 46:43
  But so Chris, Yeah. And George and Diego fly over to
• 46:50
  Miles and sign. But yeah, So what I did here was
• 46:58
  I've got the two set up as they are.
• 47:00
  I've got the little purple stuff for Nightmares, the the little
• 47:14
  purple toy that George was given out and then by the box that
• 47:18
  I've opened because I didn't feel like I needed loads of the
• 47:22
  exclusive parts either so I might pick up the non exclusive
• 47:27
  ones when they do them. I went with the dwarf.
• 47:29
  Had to, didn't I? Totally, Yeah.
• 47:33
  And then the Jaguar Lien, because Jaguar, I love the
• 47:36
  Jaguar Liens as well and I think might be my favorite one or all
• 47:41
  four of them is the Jaguar. OK.
• 47:47
  Yeah, unfortunately, yeah, it's really cool.
• 47:49
  Yeah, so. Yeah, they just.
• 47:53
  Got the This is the kind of standard build.
• 47:55
  Is it for them? Yeah, yeah, that's the, I didn't
• 47:58
  do much rather than stick the weapons on them and.
• 48:01
  Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah.
• 48:03
  And. Oh yeah, then there we.
• 48:05
  Go Yeah, so we got the dwarf. And get the tail on.
• 48:10
  You have to kind of remove the skirt, but actually I think it
• 48:12
  looks really cool without the skirt.
• 48:15
  I was going to say I prefer, that's one of the notes I made.
• 48:17
  It was. I prefer it without the skirt,
• 48:18
  actually, for it being a sword master.
• 48:21
  It's, you know, a movement. That's it.
• 48:23
  And otherwise he's exactly the same as the other one.
• 48:26
  Swords in the same place, straps around his shoulders.
• 48:30
  Yeah, but I think he looks really, really cool.
• 48:32
  And I look cool and I like that the the straps are matching in
• 48:36
  with the whole kind of outfit. Yeah, he looks really cool.
• 48:40
  They've done a really good job with it.
• 48:43
  And just the fact they use the belt clip or belt style with the
• 48:46
  two holes as well. So you can get both those swords
• 48:49
  and sheathed swords as well. It's not just, you know, a loose
• 48:52
  sword within that, it's sheathed swords.
• 48:54
  It looks like a samurai style fighter.
• 48:57
  And then you've got the other sword as a loose.
• 48:58
  It's yeah, really cleverly done parts wise.
• 49:01
  They have, they've done really good and I've got to say,
• 49:03
  considering when they first showed it off, the colours were
• 49:06
  a little bit like, oh, not sure about the colours.
• 49:08
  They look fantastic in person and all together.
• 49:13
  And so this is their the first kind of in hand we've seen of
• 49:17
  the reuse of some of the Monkey King parts.
• 49:19
  So the pauldrons here specifically, they do make the
• 49:23
  arms look longer, even if they're not.
• 49:26
  It's funny, isn't it? I don't know if it's just the
• 49:29
  style of them. What?
• 49:30
  What's your overall verdict on these Rich?
• 49:34
  The what the setup of the mouths done or the figures generally?
• 49:37
  The figures in generally. I was going to say my mouth is
• 49:40
  set. To be shit, but we don't.
• 49:47
  Know I really like them. I like them more than I thought
• 49:52
  I would to be honest. The colours on the garage, when
• 49:54
  they first showed it, I was like, I think we said in our
• 49:56
  chat I was like Nope, don't like that at all.
• 49:58
  But in hand it's much more muted and really, really works well.
• 50:03
  I, I, I love the collection of parts and that sort of stuff.
• 50:06
  I think, as I said, the, the paints, the, the mask look on
• 50:10
  the Jaguar alien head is just superb.
• 50:13
  I don't know why anyone would use any other head that's just
• 50:16
  so, so good. And the monk, I was really
• 50:20
  pleasantly surprised by the monk.
• 50:23
  It was like where it's a bit, it's a bit boring, whatever sort
• 50:26
  of thing. But the soft good combinations,
• 50:29
  I mean, the colours obviously work brilliantly together.
• 50:31
  I know we've had most of them before already, but it's, it's
• 50:34
  the way they work as one sort of thing.
• 50:36
  So I mean, I had a little play earlier trying different looks
• 50:39
  and different, you know, you know, it's me, I'm not getting
• 50:42
  carried away here. I'm not doing like 400 poses or
• 50:44
  anything like that. But it's like, you know, what if
• 50:46
  I did this with the soft goods or that with the soft goods and,
• 50:48
  and all this sort of stuff, and you can do so much stuff with
• 50:50
  with those. The dwarf parts are awesome.
• 50:55
  One thing I noticed, which I thought was a bit weird, I don't
• 50:57
  know if you guys noticed, Gaspar's calves are as wide as
• 51:02
  his thighs. So he's definitely been working
• 51:05
  out on a lower leg day. It's fair to say I.
• 51:08
  Was expecting it to be worse than it was because that was
• 51:11
  obviously something Jeremy and people talked about initially
• 51:14
  and when it was first revealed. Oh did they?
• 51:16
  Oh, I missed that completely. He's got big, thick calves.
• 51:21
  But yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 51:25
  I didn't think it was as bad as I thought I was written.
• 51:27
  Oh, no. I wonder how this is going to
• 51:29
  look. But I actually don't mind it.
• 51:31
  He just looks like he walks and works out a lot.
• 51:34
  Oh yeah, yeah. You can start, you can imagine
• 51:36
  him standing on one leg and therefore that's why the calf is
• 51:38
  so big and he stops the other one.
• 51:40
  And that builds that up here like a good old monk style.
• 51:43
  So did they Did they explain why they did it like that?
• 51:45
  Man because I I missed this. I think it was just a a design
• 51:50
  choice. Yeah, just OK, make him a bit
• 51:52
  different, I think for Jeremy. Let us know if we got that
• 51:56
  wrong. That's fine.
• 51:58
  We're not the we're the opinion, not the news, you know?
• 52:03
  I think we. I think we inform and
• 52:07
  opinionate. We do foreign people.
• 52:09
  We do. We definitely opinionate it
• 52:11
  foreign. People that are like a week or
• 52:13
  two behind the news. Oh yeah.
• 52:17
  That's true, but I mean, most people are, most people aren't
• 52:20
  as in as we are, so I think that's OK.
• 52:24
  Yeah, I, I was kind of, you know, trying to be a bit smart.
• 52:29
  My money and made a mess of the armoury figures and then only
• 52:33
  managed or only bothered to pick up one of these meant to go back
• 52:37
  later, not the one that never did.
• 52:40
  I did get to the Cosmic Pack because I already kind of
• 52:44
  decided that and I had forgotten all the awesome extras at this
• 52:48
  game with this well and the Jaguar in it.
• 52:51
  Well, you know, I'll get the, I think the singles.
• 52:55
  Oh yeah, they're good. Definitely.
• 52:56
  I mean, you guys know me. I've I've never bought the two
• 52:59
  pack and then kept it. But there were so many cool
• 53:01
  extras with this. I've opened one of each in the
• 53:03
  hotel room, made lots of noise and then brought the bits home
• 53:07
  because, you know, there are just some cool accessories.
• 53:10
  Now I think the dwarf legs are very cool packing, but I do have
• 53:16
  a bunch of like dwarf figures for customs so it's not a big
• 53:20
  deal for me. But it's great to instantly make
• 53:23
  a figure like this and the Bromden head is very cool to get
• 53:28
  extra for sure. That's the.
• 53:32
  I think one of the exciting bits about the dwarf legs is those
• 53:35
  boots are new. They're.
• 53:37
  Also new are they? We haven't seen that sculpt yet,
• 53:40
  yeah. Right.
• 53:41
  OK, so I'm messing up there too. Cool.
• 53:44
  So I did ask in our discord if anyone had any pictures as well.
• 53:47
  So Jeremy Govia sent in two pictures.
• 53:50
  This is the gorge with the Turkey.
• 53:53
  What did he say? Pull this out here.
• 53:56
  But yeah, he said that it's a it's a Turkey from somewhere.
• 54:01
  Speaking of Jeremy Govia, he inspired me with his post about
• 54:05
  using stainless steel strips and little magnets to get the
• 54:10
  figures to stay up. So on the on the way, on the way
• 54:15
  from China, I have is it 5 meters of stainless steel strip
• 54:19
  and 1000 little magnets? No SO.
• 54:23
  How? How does that I miss that?
• 54:25
  How does that work? So the, the, the, the strip, I
• 54:28
  mean, I'm not sure about the one he used, but the one I found,
• 54:30
  it's got like a sticky back to it sort of thing.
• 54:32
  So it's, it's really thin. It's nearly at .6 millimetre
• 54:34
  thick, sticky back. You stick it down and whatever
• 54:37
  you're going to display it on and then shove the little
• 54:39
  magnets up into the foothold. Yeah, the minute as you started
• 54:42
  to say I in my head, I was imagining for some reason when
• 54:44
  you said strip, I was imagining wire for some.
• 54:47
  Reason. No, no, no.
• 54:49
  So, yeah, yeah. So I've.
• 54:51
  Yeah. So I'll probably get, you know,
• 54:52
  weird letter from customs going. Why are you importing 1000 rare
• 54:56
  earth magnets? But, well, it's a funny story.
• 55:00
  I have toy figures and I like to put the figure.
• 55:04
  Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir. OK, right, yeah, it's a Costco
• 55:08
  chicken. So that's right.
• 55:11
  I mean, it's probably something to do people in the States.
• 55:15
  So I thought I'd get in there and he has the Gaspar bigger
• 55:19
  with the Gaspar shirt, the one that Mal was already got at the
• 55:22
  boat missing. So you know, George, just drop
• 55:26
  over with the shirt and bring a bring a Sharpie inside these
• 55:31
  box. Yeah, Malcolm put you up,
• 55:34
  George. It's no problem at all.
• 55:35
  He's gone. You can just.
• 55:36
  You can just for you can just forge Chris's signature so we
• 55:39
  don't have to listen, right? Moving on to the cosmics and as
• 55:48
  much as I like the mythics figures, these are my two
• 55:52
  favourites from this. Oh, considering cosmics
• 55:56
  probably. You know my thing, at this
• 55:58
  point, I haven't actually messed with these as much.
• 56:01
  I just, I don't know, I don't seem to have the time.
• 56:04
  But yeah, they're so, so good. I don't know what to say about
• 56:09
  them, really. They're just awesome.
• 56:13
  The magnet head is is really really well done.
• 56:16
  Perfect. Super vibrant.
• 56:19
  I like that Novian lean. Yeah, and then the fact they
• 56:23
  give you the thigh, gar neck, which I've used to try and make
• 56:26
  him look different. Yeah, that's cool.
• 56:30
  I think it's really cool. So this.
• 56:32
  Is with the with the. What's his name again?
• 56:36
  Canox roll. Yeah, Canox.
• 56:37
  Kind of works, doesn't it? Yeah.
• 56:39
  That looks. No, it does.
• 56:40
  I think it definitely works, yeah.
• 56:42
  So yeah, happy to have a lot of city canox.
• 56:45
  Yeah, yeah. I like that, yeah.
• 56:52
  I need to get another Canox roll for something I've got planned,
• 56:56
  yeah. I think with that Magnus head I
• 56:59
  agree with what you guys say, it is very well painted but I just
• 57:01
  can't see past Magnus so I'm not sure I'm going to use that.
• 57:04
  I think that'll be. Left to one side fair.
• 57:07
  Enough. No, I really like it getting
• 57:09
  this as I showed you guys didn't I know sort of like that I'd
• 57:13
  made like a bounty and to cosmic sort of bounty into using a
• 57:16
  Magnus head and getting the and pretty much a similar build but
• 57:20
  with the Marley coat and getting this has made me go I don't need
• 57:26
  that anymore. So recycle those parts because
• 57:30
  this does it. This does that job for me fills
• 57:33
  that little idea for me. Yeah.
• 57:36
  Does. Yeah, yeah.
• 57:39
  So well, maybe you can sell it at the table next year.
• 57:42
  They just gone. There you go.
• 57:43
  Or use the. I already got plans for the
• 57:46
  parts, reuse them and. That is it, Marley Jacket, you
• 57:50
  said. Yeah, that's why.
• 57:52
  Precious please yeah, we also got the mismatched baldrons as I
• 57:57
  said here with Magnus. That's pretty, pretty kind of
• 57:59
  cool look and but if we go here further, we can see all the bits
• 58:05
  we got with this guy and we can go back and see like look at all
• 58:09
  that stuff. So I actually.
• 58:10
  So much stuff. MY22 packs.
• 58:12
  The parts that I'm not using are just in this big.
• 58:18
  Look at that. That is a lot of spare bits.
• 58:21
  That's just from these two figures.
• 58:25
  No, I don't have them all displayed up with their weapons
• 58:28
  and stuff yet, but you know, you get extra boots and you get like
• 58:33
  how many heads? 1234 spare heads and so 6 heads
• 58:37
  total. Spare waist piece pauldrons.
• 58:43
  Got 2 sets of pauldrons obviously, and one for each
• 58:47
  figure. Spare wrist piece, very neck
• 58:50
  peg. Yeah, so a bunch of hands,
• 58:55
  couple of those blades for the for the wrist.
• 58:57
  Not going to say which figure they originally came on because
• 58:59
  they always get it wrong. It was by origin guy.
• 59:05
  Oh, was it? That's her.
• 59:06
  Is it OK? Yeah.
• 59:07
  Still haven't opened her because I'm afraid of the smell.
• 59:10
  Same hair, she's still sealed in my loft.
• 59:13
  I was like, I meant to do that in the middle of the summer and
• 59:18
  and you know, just leave her outside.
• 59:20
  Then I forgot and now it's kind of clearing up.
• 59:23
  I've seen her again and I'm like, well, I'm not going to
• 59:25
  open it in the winter, so I'll leave it again to the next
• 59:29
  summer or so and Barge and Bara going to stay in her package for
• 59:33
  a while. And I.
• 59:35
  Actually meant to use that red vampire head on Fisher Rice and
• 59:42
  I've completely forgotten that. Oh yeah.
• 59:46
  I I put at the moment mine's on the Red Knight armoury build
• 59:50
  which suddenly on the Cabal posted it looks really good.
• 59:53
  It might go more towards a a Fury vampire eventually, but
• 59:56
  yeah, it looks. Really good.
• 59:57
  Does it match the retailer red debt?
• 1:00:02
  Be interesting to say. That would be good on that body.
• 1:00:05
  Actually, yeah, I think it might.
• 1:00:06
  Part of me is hoping it doesn't otherwise I might have to buy a
• 1:00:08
  retailer. Red debt, but.
• 1:00:11
  Very cool nonetheless yeah and then here's what you can see all
• 1:00:17
  the stuff that you get with gorge so you get those extra
• 1:00:22
  dwarf legs the Brompton head. What else is exclusive Atlas
• 1:00:25
  head of course, and you saw that he's on now using that at this
• 1:00:30
  head on his really cool Armory build last week.
• 1:00:34
  So he still has it's still a table figures our.
• 1:00:37
  Desk stuff on my desk. At this point I need to work out
• 1:00:41
  to get room, make room. So.
• 1:00:45
  Got floor figures at the moment so.
• 1:00:48
  So I think, yeah, the verdict on the regions configures is home
• 1:00:53
  run, I'd say. Oh, absolutely.
• 1:00:55
  These may be featuring in in some figures, you know, best
• 1:00:59
  figures of the year in their various categories.
• 1:01:03
  I think they have a hot chance for sure.
• 1:01:06
  I think these are so good though, they even even without
• 1:01:09
  the additional extras and the exclusives and that and they're
• 1:01:11
  still fabulous figures. Yeah, you know, just really
• 1:01:14
  good, particularly the two cosmic ones.
• 1:01:15
  I think the cosmic as much I love the the mythic ones. 2
• 1:01:18
  cosmic ones really are great great builds.
• 1:01:21
  Yes. I don't argue with the cosmic
• 1:01:23
  ones. The extra parts are probably,
• 1:01:29
  you know, they're not the best bits here.
• 1:01:31
  You know they're cool, but they're not the best bits.
• 1:01:33
  I do like the vampire head. I will say that.
• 1:01:35
  But otherwise, it's just Tusk parts that you know, Yeah, we've
• 1:01:40
  had before. And I think one good thing about
• 1:01:45
  Necronominus not coming within this calendar year is that we
• 1:01:51
  don't have the boxes wave and the Necronominus wave in the
• 1:01:54
  figure of the year talk. Now next year is another problem
• 1:01:58
  if you know if things go to schedule but.
• 1:02:02
  Next year could be insane. We're guaranteed to have at
• 1:02:04
  least Necronominus All Stars 6 and Ox Crew book one, aren't we?
• 1:02:08
  As a minimum? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:10
  So that's that's a lot of good Fig.
• 1:02:12
  Really good figures. Absolutely right.
• 1:02:16
  You got Fisher Rice, then here. Now you want to.
• 1:02:19
  Talk. Yes, yes, I got my Fisher right.
• 1:02:21
  I got my 5 Fisher Rices today. He's so, so good.
• 1:02:27
  He's immediately sort of I always have to say joint
• 1:02:32
  favorite cosmic figure, because the Specsians will will.
• 1:02:36
  They're my favorite legions figure, full stop.
• 1:02:39
  They're the best thing. But he's out there.
• 1:02:42
  But he's you know, he's right up there with them and my favorite
• 1:02:45
  cosmic straight away. Love the colours, love the
• 1:02:49
  options he comes with. The weapons are so, so good.
• 1:02:53
  The painter, the weapons is Oh, it's incredible.
• 1:02:56
  People have said it, but it's they're not they're not wrong.
• 1:02:59
  He's just so fun as well. I love the story on the bio on
• 1:03:03
  the on the box. It's really cool one.
• 1:03:09
  Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
• 1:03:11
  And then I've just sent you some pictures where I've done a few
• 1:03:13
  head swaps because I thought that was quite fun.
• 1:03:16
  Yeah. Well, on the other build, I
• 1:03:18
  added the other limbs, the the other limbs he comes with.
• 1:03:21
  And then if you, because I think a lot of people, I assume a lot
• 1:03:24
  of people are going to basically stick third party heads and
• 1:03:28
  other heads on it to make up their.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah, it's the perfect thing for that sort of thing, isn't?
• 1:03:35
  It Yeah. Particularly when you've got
• 1:03:37
  spare limbs and you can do the slightly different build and
• 1:03:39
  that sort of stuff, then yeah, just enhances it again.
• 1:03:42
  It's another one where most heads you try work as well.
• 1:03:45
  Yeah, look at this. So you've got Oh.
• 1:03:47
  Those are good. Yeah, you can see I've sort of
• 1:03:50
  put the head that Eric Miller painted of our cosmic one on
• 1:03:54
  there and looks fantastic. I'm just going to keep going.
• 1:03:57
  Looks fantastic. And then that's, I mean, these
• 1:04:00
  these heads are ones I'm going to use from, I might tweak the
• 1:04:03
  bodies a bit and make some changes to make them a bit more
• 1:04:07
  individual. But yeah, then that's one I got
• 1:04:09
  from Eugene Eunuch. That was the door.
• 1:04:11
  Claire Von Box 1 of the door. Oh, nice.
• 1:04:14
  Exclusives. Yeah.
• 1:04:15
  Those both work really well. Yeah.
• 1:04:18
  And then these two I painted, yeah, which.
• 1:04:21
  That's one kind of a hound or a wolf or something.
• 1:04:25
  That's it. Yeah, they're sort of, this
• 1:04:26
  guy's a bit sort of crabby, fishy looking, which is why I
• 1:04:30
  painted him orange scaly one that Anthony Velez, Noble Bear
• 1:04:38
  customs had how he might have lost it when he lost his stuff,
• 1:04:43
  but I was lucky enough to get on before that happened.
• 1:04:46
  This was another Von Burke the where the forget what they call
• 1:04:52
  it, but it was like a werewolf one that he's done, he's still
• 1:04:55
  got. Warbock, I think.
• 1:04:57
  That's the one. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:05:00
  And I bought it painted. Everything about 3D hits.
• 1:05:04
  Not everything, but I I know a lot it's.
• 1:05:07
  Very. And I, the minute I saw it, I
• 1:05:10
  was always going to paint it up. And I painted up ages ago.
• 1:05:13
  And I've kind of been waiting for the right time.
• 1:05:15
  And this figure is this, you know, he feels like it should be
• 1:05:18
  a member of the chat. And then this was just a picture
• 1:05:22
  of the two builds together to sort of show what they look like
• 1:05:25
  together. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:05:28
  And that head, the Attila head painted like that, doesn't feel
• 1:05:32
  very, very different. Yeah, the more I see it in
• 1:05:36
  different in hand photos from people, the more that I, I
• 1:05:41
  doesn't seem like Attila to me or you know, that version that
• 1:05:44
  we got in the two pack. So yeah, I think I'll probably
• 1:05:48
  display him like that in his kind of normal form and then
• 1:05:53
  maybe have a custom one as well. Why not?
• 1:05:57
  Yeah, that even the two, the two chest pieces, they look so
• 1:06:01
  different. It's awesome.
• 1:06:02
  Yeah, it's, it's bonkers, isn't it?
• 1:06:05
  How much it changes that silhouette of the figure.
• 1:06:08
  Cool. Well the rest of the retail wave
• 1:06:11
  is on the way to me soon and then over to you guys.
• 1:06:14
  And so we'll have a kind of a full in hand chat about our
• 1:06:17
  impressions of them when Richard opens his next June.
• 1:06:20
  So. You can do a separate episode,
• 1:06:28
  yeah. Before that, no.
• 1:06:30
  I can't wait for the Monkey King, I've got to say.
• 1:06:32
  Yeah, yeah, it looks cool. I watched the the different
• 1:06:35
  reviews that Toy Bro did of the different figures, so that made
• 1:06:39
  me even more excited for them. Again, looks like a home run of
• 1:06:43
  a wave, so. Oh.
• 1:06:44
  Yeah, I'll say that even the the one that I was again, as ever,
• 1:06:49
  the one that I wasn't like to Yeah, the undead of Icon Fell
• 1:06:53
  actually looks really cool. And in fact, the the bit we did
• 1:06:57
  really like was the the the skull with the tattoos on it
• 1:07:00
  actually looks even better. And I mean, I already thought
• 1:07:03
  that looked excellent, so. Yeah, that was an amazing piece.
• 1:07:06
  Yeah, right. Well, that's that.
• 1:07:10
  I had one more thing I wanted to share before we go and and Rich
• 1:07:14
  can watch the last 10 minutes of the game. 32 now.
• 1:07:16
  Rich, I see. It's three all now,
• 1:07:19
  unfortunately. Newcastle have just equalised.
• 1:07:21
  This is like that classic 4 three back when I was a kid
• 1:07:24
  drinking 7UP here on the back of the pub at six calmons of age.
• 1:07:27
  Carmen Kelleher, who's been amazing for us the last few
• 1:07:30
  weeks, just totally balls. It's a Cuivine Kelleher.
• 1:07:33
  He's Irish. Oh, sorry, Cuivine.
• 1:07:36
  Yes. So up to that point he was
• 1:07:39
  great. And then, yeah.
• 1:07:40
  We need your attention slightly for this Rich SO.
• 1:07:43
  You got me. You got.
• 1:07:44
  Me, we made. We made some products, so we
• 1:07:48
  have a little red bubble store that we've only really kind of
• 1:07:51
  told our patrons about as if they wanted to get various stuff
• 1:07:55
  from us, T-shirts basically, and you know, and get one off there.
• 1:08:00
  It works the same as T public and these kind of different
• 1:08:03
  sites. So we've got the art of Richard
• 1:08:05
  Jones here, the richest famous art from our live stream
• 1:08:10
  available. I'm tearing up here, I'm tearing
• 1:08:13
  up my. Favorite 1 I had to put my
• 1:08:15
  favorite one ever in there. That's.
• 1:08:17
  Hang. I mean, it's rubbish what it's.
• 1:08:22
  Malleus And I think that's what's wrong with Methator.
• 1:08:26
  Isn't. It methator yeah, there was so
• 1:08:29
  many to choose from, but you know so yeah, they're basically
• 1:08:33
  available on various products so it's you can look up your
• 1:08:37
  legions on red bubble or you might post a link somewhere or
• 1:08:42
  that way inclined. But yeah, if you're you're
• 1:08:44
  looking for something for Christmas loved one if you're a
• 1:08:46
  fan of Rich's amazing art. I will say look at these two.
• 1:08:53
  Wonderful. If I didn't know what it was and
• 1:08:56
  my loved one gave it to me, I'd be like wow, wow.
• 1:09:03
  You tell your loved ones to go get it, you know that's how you
• 1:09:08
  do it. So look at that.
• 1:09:10
  Looks wonderful, you know. Yeah exactly.
• 1:09:13
  I sent the link to to a friend of mine earlier and he said a
• 1:09:16
  teenage boys already said I want a T-shirt for Christmas.
• 1:09:18
  There you go. So we may get a sale out of it.
• 1:09:22
  Well, somebody's already bought a sticker.
• 1:09:25
  Oh, there we go. There we go.
• 1:09:26
  So if I go back here, there's there's I mean, you can untick
• 1:09:32
  what products you want on it and I untick some of the ridiculous
• 1:09:35
  ones. But if my Internet will hold up
• 1:09:39
  here, there is some amazing ones.
• 1:09:41
  Duvet cover. Look at that shower curtain
• 1:09:47
  rostering by a cushion, a little cotton tote bag.
• 1:09:50
  So if you want to go and get your shot.
• 1:09:51
  There you go. Like a scarf or the you know,
• 1:09:56
  the cold person. See, Kerry likes scarves.
• 1:09:57
  Maybe she'd get her a scarf. She'd kill me, but it'd be worth
• 1:10:00
  it just to look on her. Face this piece you are
• 1:10:04
  commissioned for you now. This is what I could have done
• 1:10:06
  for you. Look at that.
• 1:10:12
  Beautiful. I'm really quite tempted about
• 1:10:14
  that mug. I'll be honest, it's a bit bit
• 1:10:16
  vain, but it looks amazing. It's.
• 1:10:19
  Amazing, yeah. Oh, I could buy a few mugs and
• 1:10:22
  put them in the office just as like general help yourself use
• 1:10:24
  mugs, sort of mugs. That's got to be worth the you
• 1:10:28
  know what? What are these mugs going for?
• 1:10:33
  Try and put the lowest possible mark out.
• 1:10:35
  It's the €1010.00. So it's 25% off at the moment as
• 1:10:39
  well on red bubble. We can't control how much off it
• 1:10:42
  is, you know, that's just that's their gig.
• 1:10:45
  But yeah, I ordered 2 shirts today from them for our
• 1:10:48
  different from our different stuff.
• 1:10:51
  So you. Didn't told the.
• 1:10:54
  Page has gone unresolved. I'm insulted, but there we go.
• 1:10:58
  I'm just going to take that down because the page has decided to
• 1:11:01
  crash. Yeah, so.
• 1:11:05
  So there you go. So look us up on Red Bubble I.
• 1:11:09
  Think, I think, do we also need to show off the pride of place
• 1:11:13
  that Rich has got along? Oh.
• 1:11:15
  Yes, great. Yes, we had this as well.
• 1:11:17
  Of course, last but not least for today, the Curtis post
• 1:11:22
  posted. My personal customizing studio
• 1:11:24
  is almost complete as he's making more progress than me.
• 1:11:28
  Happy to see these two great artists of our time have their
• 1:11:31
  work shown together in the Inspiration 1.
• 1:11:33
  So it's Nate Burch's amazing picture of a drawing of Hera
• 1:11:40
  Serpent's bar and Rich's drawing of Curtis.
• 1:11:43
  Rich. Yeah, well, well, Rich is
• 1:11:46
  amazing drawing of Curtis. Let's get terminology right
• 1:11:49
  here. And I.
• 1:11:51
  I clipped out the comments from the common thread here.
• 1:11:54
  It was Rich Jones saying at Nate Birch, if you ever need any tips
• 1:11:57
  just let me know. And Curtis replies at Richard
• 1:12:01
  Jones. Thanks for thank you for not
• 1:12:04
  gatekeeping your art, which is an underrated, hilarious
• 1:12:07
  comment. And Nate Burst says Richard
• 1:12:10
  Jones, if you love the work, it will show.
• 1:12:12
  I see that here. Oh, thank you, Nate.
• 1:12:15
  I have this comment. That's amazing.
• 1:12:19
  Absolutely. Amazing.
• 1:12:21
  I was so inspired when Curtis put this up that I did five of
• 1:12:24
  my Mythic Legion, Mythic slash Cosmic Legions drawings
• 1:12:27
  yesterday evening. So yeah, I was just all over it.
• 1:12:30
  The the the creative juices were flowing.
• 1:12:33
  I even did my first mount which I was very impressed with.
• 1:12:37
  Wow, we got to tell which horse it is.
• 1:12:43
  Well, this is This is the other thing.
• 1:12:44
  It's a tricky 1 to which? Mount it is.
• 1:12:50
  You say, man, that's just a figure, isn't it?
• 1:12:54
  Anyway, that's it for a month, so yeah.
• 1:12:59
  Oh, shall I tell you about quickly about how I almost
• 1:13:01
  killed Batman at Comic Con? Oh yeah, tell us a little.
• 1:13:03
  But you were a premium Comic Con.
• 1:13:05
  Tell us a bit. I was.
• 1:13:06
  So I was wandering around the con and there's some dress,
• 1:13:08
  there's a few people dressed as Batman in cosplay and one of
• 1:13:12
  them walked past me and I started walking behind him and I
• 1:13:14
  started on his Cape and almost took his head off.
• 1:13:17
  He like fell back into me. I was very apologetic.
• 1:13:19
  I'm sorry, Batman. Although perils are wearing a
• 1:13:24
  Cape, you know. Exactly.
• 1:13:26
  Do you know what I mean? Comic Con was really good.
• 1:13:29
  I didn't spend a single penny there.
• 1:13:33
  I think that shows how it's changed now it's it's probably
• 1:13:36
  75% anime and that sort of stuff now, which my daughter was
• 1:13:40
  perfect and she builder boots but nothing for me.
• 1:13:43
  Even my wife bought something that's they're like stalls
• 1:13:46
  selling 3D printed animals. So she bought a couple of those.
• 1:13:49
  I think. John, you're muted if you say
• 1:13:51
  anything, dude. I said.
• 1:13:54
  I saw they had Viking horns. They did.
• 1:13:57
  I sent a picture of that to, to. Oh, God.
• 1:14:00
  What do you call themselves now? Idem.
• 1:14:03
  Yawn. Ron Twining.
• 1:14:04
  Yeah, yeah. And he's like, oh, I've already
• 1:14:07
  got a couple of those. But as soon as soon as I saw the
• 1:14:09
  store, I was taking a photograph of it.
• 1:14:10
  My wife was like, what you doing is like, I've got a friend in
• 1:14:13
  America who's going to love this picture.
• 1:14:14
  He loves his Viking stuff. So straight away picture of that
• 1:14:17
  taken. I got to pose for a picture
• 1:14:20
  myself with Robin and Marion from the Disney Robin Hood film.
• 1:14:23
  Oh. That was, that was pretty good.
• 1:14:26
  The costumes were like, you know, absolutely spot on,
• 1:14:29
  professional level costumes. So that was really cool.
• 1:14:33
  Yeah. They had live sumo wrestling
• 1:14:34
  there. So it was a British sumo
• 1:14:38
  wrestling society and they just set a mat up in the middle and
• 1:14:42
  they had just members of the public coming on and wrestling
• 1:14:44
  with and I'm like, surely someone's going to get, I mean,
• 1:14:47
  the disclaimer people had to sign beforehand must have been
• 1:14:49
  like 8 pages long, you know? But they had different weight
• 1:14:52
  classes. They had a big fat guy in your
• 1:14:54
  typical sumo sort of thing. Then they had a middle sized guy
• 1:14:57
  and then a little guy, little thin guy for the, for the
• 1:15:00
  smaller contestants sort of things.
• 1:15:02
  So that was him. I did.
• 1:15:04
  If I'd known sooner, I'd just signed up for it.
• 1:15:05
  I mean, I put my back out instantly, but I decided, yeah.
• 1:15:09
  Like surely as an opportunity to injure yourself, surely you
• 1:15:12
  didn't. You took it no side down there.
• 1:15:19
  I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And I saw some celebrities too,
• 1:15:21
  so they had their normal like people signing stuff.
• 1:15:23
  So more for UK listeners and viewers than than Americans.
• 1:15:28
  But the UK Ghosts and Horrible Histories had a couple of guys
• 1:15:32
  from that there, which is really cool to see them in person.
• 1:15:36
  And also Christopher Judge from Stargate fame was there as well.
• 1:15:40
  And that was really cool to see him.
• 1:15:41
  He's not nearly as big in real life as as he looked on this on
• 1:15:45
  the screen, but yeah, so that was cool as well.
• 1:15:49
  Well worth the trip. Expensive.
• 1:15:50
  I mean, it was £25 a ticket, no reduction for kids.
• 1:15:54
  And then the car parking was 19 LB.
• 1:15:57
  No. Matter how long you were there,
• 1:15:59
  it was 19. Well, you might as well stay for
• 1:16:02
  the day then. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:05
  But the way it's going also fogies, we're going to have to
• 1:16:08
  stick with Legions Con because otherwise that's the only place
• 1:16:10
  there's no enemy so far so. Yeah, I did.
• 1:16:14
  I did wrap up podcast as well. When I was there I was wearing
• 1:16:16
  the Euro Legions T-shirt. Anyone's friend?
• 1:16:19
  Did anyone recognize you now? Somebody walked past and said
• 1:16:23
  something podcast, but I'm not sure if they're talking about me
• 1:16:25
  or just coincidentally as I was going past.
• 1:16:27
  So I was I was ready for autographs.
• 1:16:29
  I depend on me and everything. He's drawn some pictures just in
• 1:16:35
  case. I had art with me just in case.
• 1:16:37
  Yeah. No, no, a little sketchbook in
• 1:16:39
  case anybody wanted. Like, you know, stylized
• 1:16:41
  drawings themselves. No, nothing.
• 1:16:45
  Yeah, you just can't capture the magic of that kind of word, you
• 1:16:49
  know, mouse combination. You can't.
• 1:16:51
  No, no, I was, I was joking with Kerry the other day, actually,
• 1:16:55
  knowing the artists say, oh, watercolours on canvas or
• 1:16:58
  whatever sort of thing. And I was like, mine would be
• 1:17:01
  mouse pad on word or mouse tracker on Word wherever, or oh
• 1:17:16
  wow, wow, you saw how many high smiling happy faces were at
• 1:17:22
  least coming to my heart. They loved it.
• 1:17:25
  It's like when a kid brings the drawing and you just got a
• 1:17:28
  brilliant mate, yeah. Put it on the fridge.
• 1:17:35
  Fridge Magnus? Is Fridge Magnus an option John
• 1:17:37
  with the the stuff they could buy?
• 1:17:38
  Yes. Excellent, I think.
• 1:17:41
  I think a bit of hangman might be floating, but, you know,
• 1:17:44
  they'll figure that out in the in the factory.
• 1:17:49
  Not my problem. I just put them up there.
• 1:17:54
  Yeah. And so, yeah, if it's not your
• 1:17:57
  satisfaction, go back to Mr. Red Bubble.
• 1:17:59
  I'm sure he'll sort you out. No, of course we'll we'll look
• 1:18:03
  after you anyway. So thanks so much for the
• 1:18:08
  patrons. As usual.
• 1:18:09
  They are awesome sticking by said almost a year now, which is
• 1:18:13
  incredible. We have to that's.
• 1:18:14
  Amazing bonus episodes for use and stuff and stuff.
• 1:18:19
  Well, it's the new series of bonus episodes coming in the in
• 1:18:21
  the new year. There we go.
• 1:18:23
  Yeah. Details to follow.
• 1:18:26
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. Details to follow, details to be
• 1:18:29
  figured out. Yes, I've got a rough plan.
• 1:18:32
  I've got a name for the segment. So that's good.
• 1:18:35
  That's. Good.
• 1:18:35
  Yeah, and probably more drawn out than your than your actual
• 1:18:40
  pictures. Wow, stay safe out there
• 1:18:47
  everybody, particularly John after that comment.
