  Now let's get to this week's show.
• 0:16
  Quick Editor's note here. This episode was recorded the
• 0:19
  day before they revealed the new Mythics Wave, which is coming on
• 0:24
  the 31st of May. We'll certainly talk about that
• 0:27
  in next week's episode and in the episode the week after where
• 0:31
  we talk about all the figures that they revealed.
• 0:33
  Cheers. My wallet is sobbing.
• 0:43
  I can hear it. I can hear it in the hall now.
• 0:45
  It is breaking down crying. It turns out that Attila the
• 0:55
  arrogant so and so he's got a fake hammer.
• 0:57
  Oh, A. Fake Whoa.
• 1:00
  As I say, Dick the. Egyptian pantheon was made-up of
• 1:11
  gods and goddesses who possessed incredible powers and used those
• 1:15
  powers for good or I'll depending on whether they were
• 1:18
  appeased or angered by the offerings made to them.
• 1:21
  Two of the most recognizable deities of Egypt and the
• 1:24
  subjects of the latest Figure Obscura release from 4 Horsemen
• 1:27
  Studios are the Jackal headed God of the embalmers known as
• 1:31
  Anubis and the cat headed fertility goddess named Bastet.
• 1:36
  So we were just a week out with our Figure Obscura prediction
• 1:40
  boys, but we got it in the ballpark.
• 1:43
  We certainly didn't guess this figure, though.
• 1:47
  Well, you're. Doing yourself down there
• 1:48
  because after we finished last week, you said, I forgot to say,
• 1:52
  I think that figure obscures. Driving.
• 1:54
  I did. Yeah, I did, yeah.
• 1:56
  And I could have. Maybe.
• 1:57
  I could have maybe edited it in. But no, it wasn't worth it just
• 2:03
  on the off chance. Although I was kicking myself,
• 2:05
  but who cares? We don't need to be right.
• 2:06
  As we said, we just need to make the guesses.
• 2:09
  And having seen these releases, I was very happy.
• 2:11
  All our guesses are wrong because these are just amazing.
• 2:14
  So I've been off all the rest of the guesses.
• 2:18
  Yeah, well, we kind of went for pop culture characters, but of
• 2:20
  course we forgot that there is, of course mythological and all
• 2:24
  that kind of stuff. So which is also some of our
• 2:28
  wheelhouses. Isn't that right, Rich?
• 2:29
  This. Yeah. 100% is in my wheelhouse.
• 2:33
  All I do feel the need to point out now if I ever become some
• 2:35
  sort of Egyptian deity through some sort of weird freak spider
• 2:38
  biting accident, but when I turn up allegiance con, if I'm going
• 2:43
  to get offerings, pizza and Donuts, if it's not pizza and
• 2:46
  papers, I'm going to be the evil Egyptian God.
• 2:49
  Just so we're absolutely clear on that everywhere.
• 2:52
  Seems fair enough. Yeah, just carbs.
• 2:54
  In other words, carbs. Yeah.
• 2:57
  Anyway, it will. Be Jelly.
• 3:00
  That's wrong with the American fans.
• 3:04
  Anyway, Mal, how are you? You happy with the Figure
• 3:07
  Obscure release weekend? I am.
• 3:09
  It's very cool. I I suspect, like a lot of us,
• 3:14
  you were. Yeah.
• 3:15
  Especially after. Well, this month.
• 3:18
  It's not crying. It's gone out of the back of
• 3:20
  Rackham's to sell itself. It's made its peace with its
• 3:25
  poverty, and it's trying to find a new way to make more money.
• 3:29
  My wallet, not me. It's him, everybody.
• 3:33
  It's. You if you could, but when were
• 3:36
  my by more legit means if possible, you know.
• 3:39
  Hey, if I had the body for it, I'd totally be on Only Fans I.
• 3:44
  But you have. Here I mean.
• 3:45
  You have a thing with Figura where you like to have one in
• 3:49
  box and one to open, so this is one of those occasions when that
• 3:53
  really is a tough task. Yeah.
• 3:56
  Yeah, it was. It was.
• 3:59
  Did it make it over the line? It did.
• 4:03
  I can't help myself. Yeah, I know all in as well.
• 4:07
  They've got me addicted to pin badges like they have.
• 4:09
  Huge. Yeah, they are great.
• 4:12
  I mean I also appreciate now that it's not, it's not a gone
• 4:17
  in 60 seconds thing with the all in anymore.
• 4:21
  They seem to have plenty of them and even in the second drop a
• 4:26
  couple hours after when we like usually because the second drop
• 4:30
  is in the middle of Saturday night for us.
• 4:32
  So we always try and get it on the first drop because that's
• 4:35
  the early evening for us here on Saturday, which is perfect.
• 4:38
  And it's yes. So you would never, unless you
• 4:42
  missed the all in, you wouldn't stay up for the second drop
• 4:45
  really. And then getting up the next
• 4:47
  morning, it was still I think the all in was still there,
• 4:49
  which. It was, yeah.
• 4:51
  Yeah, which was pretty sweet and yeah, when we talk about it, but
• 4:55
  the very nice stuff there in the all in and rich as a as a
• 4:59
  student of ancient history, it's got to be ticking the boxes for
• 5:05
  you. We've already got.
• 5:06
  So, so excited. I've talked before previously on
• 5:09
  the show, but I've got a sort of Egyptian styled action anyway my
• 5:13
  mythos, so to have this appear as well, it's just perfect for
• 5:18
  me. So they're going to slide into
• 5:20
  the Egyptian fact. They will, yes.
• 5:23
  I mean, I might because I've got, I've bought three sets, so
• 5:27
  I might possibly have a set with my figure Obscura and then use
• 5:31
  the rest in them in the mythics. We'll see how that goes.
• 5:36
  Right. Yeah, Yeah.
• 5:38
  No, that's that sounds good. That sounds good.
• 5:40
  Well, I've got a couple of painted heads already.
• 5:43
  One of them will now be going on the Anubis body.
• 5:47
  OK, so it's like it's, it's a it's a helmet type of thing.
• 5:51
  So it is. Yeah, it's kind of.
• 5:53
  It's so back, so crocodile, ah. Yes.
• 5:57
  No, Scrap that plan. Or why I?
• 6:00
  Had it. Well, I had it painted to look
• 6:02
  like an actual crocodile. I can make that work.
• 6:04
  I'll figure out. Yeah, I think so.
• 6:06
  Bit of, maybe a bit of a wash over the top.
• 6:10
  Or I'll just make it look good and say it's amazing because I
• 6:14
  don't paint. True, true, true that can work
• 6:19
  and new Mal is this is going on the figure obscure or chef then
• 6:23
  is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:25
  Well, that's getting full, but I need to look after the shelves.
• 6:30
  Well, I've got a plan to buy a separate case to go on top of
• 6:35
  the the detail that I'll put the two horsemen in and then
• 6:41
  there'll be more, a lot more room.
• 6:43
  So yeah. Excellent.
• 6:46
  So now we've got we've got our figure obscure as we taught
• 6:49
  around now and they're going to be shipping out and the rest of
• 6:53
  the outpost Axis is going to be shipping out early June.
• 6:57
  And we're thinking, didn't we say Ishkhan is going to be some
• 7:00
  sort of a pre-order, like a reveal?
• 7:02
  Pre Yeah, there'll be a call, a cosmic reveal.
• 7:04
  Ishkhan. So.
• 7:06
  Well, we don't know for sure. It's cosmic, but I think we.
• 7:09
  Yeah, put a. Strong.
• 7:10
  Excuse me? I'm 100% confident it's going to
• 7:13
  be a cosmic. So if we're if we're looking at
• 7:16
  that. On time stamp site in case it
• 7:18
  turns out not to be. I'm 100% confident what you're
• 7:22
  talking about. It's absolutely going to be.
• 7:23
  This is this is very early in the episode so good to find it.
• 7:26
  No problem. So that kind of if you work back
• 7:31
  from Ishkhan, which is like 3rd, 4th, 3rd of August, something
• 7:35
  that weekend, if you, if they're going to do another pre-order
• 7:39
  between now and then, they're probably going to give four
• 7:42
  weeks at least of a pre-order. So if you work back four weeks
• 7:46
  from then you're into end of June and then there's probably
• 7:51
  going to be a gap. So probably sometime in June I'd
• 7:55
  expect another drop if there's going to be another pre-order.
• 7:58
  Yeah, I'm not. Maybe a mini wave of some sort.
• 8:01
  I. Think it would have to be a mini
• 8:02
  wave, wouldn't it? There's so much stuff come out
• 8:04
  recently. I know they keep telling us it's
• 8:05
  a big year. It's a big year, but yeah, but
• 8:07
  lots. We haven't, I know we had the
• 8:10
  the blind boxes thing, but for me that was an in stock sale,
• 8:14
  you know, even if. This is true.
• 8:15
  You could and it didn't cost me a place of.
• 8:17
  Pre-order true. Yeah, me neither, although I did
• 8:20
  some trades for I got a couple of good trades locally recently,
• 8:25
  uh, got a shadow out for Mal and I got another Clavius for me,
• 8:29
  uh, because you can never have enough of that figure.
• 8:31
  And so that was nice. And but that is an in stock.
• 8:36
  So we're, we're missing if, if we even go with the normal, uh,
• 8:41
  head of steam of stuff, we're going to be missing it like the,
• 8:43
  the equivalent of the All Stars preorder, which makes me feel
• 8:47
  like we're going to get something between now and then
• 8:50
  because the preorder in August brings us into, you know,
• 8:55
  September and then they're hardly going to do another one
• 8:59
  before Legionscon. No, I think takes trouble to
• 9:03
  connect to put a put that's normally.
• 9:06
  Another slot for a figure. Obscure, isn't it?
• 9:08
  Yeah, Yeah. That's it.
• 9:09
  Yeah, yeah. So I could see that or something
• 9:12
  like the, you know, the rumored dragon or something to come
• 9:16
  around. I think you might be right with
• 9:17
  that one. John Yeah.
• 9:18
  So so that could be exciting times for us in the near future
• 9:24
  and but the wallets not so much. But with pre-orders again,
• 9:28
  that's a little bit easier. Yeah, things figure obscure is
• 9:33
  is a little bit more. You got to put your cards on the
• 9:36
  table, which I saw Jeremy did a he did a video on the four
• 9:43
  Horsemen official channel this week with where it was an
• 9:48
  unboxing of these figures. So the the two figures basically
• 9:54
  because some of them were quite, quite well packed in the plastic
• 9:57
  and he didn't want people breaking them when they were
• 9:59
  opening them. And lots of lovely comments and
• 10:04
  then one guy comment and go, why are you posting this?
• 10:06
  It's not on sale anymore. I'm going to have to pay 300.
• 10:10
  Quid. I mean, in fairness to that
• 10:12
  person, he only had 24 hours. And a bit more maybe.
• 10:19
  Yeah. I think, you know, sorry for
• 10:22
  you. Like if you're really worried
• 10:23
  about eBay, you need to be on the ball.
• 10:24
  Like, you know? Don't even have to be that on
• 10:27
  the ball. And also Jeremy's videos for
• 10:29
  everyone that's getting them shipped now, you know, it's
• 10:31
  about unboxing them. So there's lots of people.
• 10:35
  So but as you know, people will always have their agendas.
• 10:37
  But I just that can be a giggle, you know, that can be a giggle.
• 10:41
  Maybe tells you where I get my cakes and right.
• 10:48
  So any other crack boys before we crack into this?
• 10:52
  How was there any other deliveries this week?
• 10:55
  I got my alge figure from Aliexpress.
• 10:58
  That was exciting. It's great.
• 11:00
  I'm very impressed. I also got a like a Mezco King
• 11:04
  Kong for father, a really old one, I think from like 2019 or
• 11:09
  something. It's awful, but it's great for
• 11:12
  fodder. But it's awful if hands are
• 11:15
  falling off. Feet are, but it'll do.
• 11:20
  Yeah, God, I think really cheap. I think it might be easy for me
• 11:23
  to say what I haven't had come in this week.
• 11:26
  My wife described it as the the avalanche waiting to happen and
• 11:30
  boxes in a hall at the moment I had Two more arrived today and
• 11:34
  I've been so busy since I got home I've not even a chance to
• 11:36
  open them, so I don't know what they are.
• 11:37
  I think one's a GI Joe classified, but it's, no, it's
• 11:40
  just madness at the moment. Absolutely.
• 11:42
  Madness started off with a Savage Crucible on the four
• 11:45
  boxes, and then it's just continued from there.
• 11:48
  I hadn't had up any more Savage Crucible just.
• 11:50
  Not a chance, it's just been so busy it's just ridiculous now.
• 11:55
  I got some stuff from Aliexpress too so I got AT800 neca
• 12:00
  Terminator. I want to try and rip that apart
• 12:02
  and use it for some cosmic stuff hopefully.
• 12:05
  I got a it's a crat Kratos from. Got a warrior?
• 12:10
  It's it's the figure that's got the really cool gauntlets, like
• 12:14
  big fists. And I've seen other people use
• 12:17
  that. That's that's a really good
• 12:18
  deal. And again, like cheap, as cheap
• 12:20
  as chips off them off Aliexpress.
• 12:24
  I got myself another one of the NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja
• 12:27
  Turtles times Universal Monsters.
• 12:30
  I got Mikey as a mummy, which is quite appropriate now with the
• 12:35
  figure. Obscure release?
• 12:36
  Yeah, that works. And I got I got a neck another
• 12:42
  Necker one. It was alien versus Predator and
• 12:46
  it was one of those Wilani troopers.
• 12:49
  So it's just like this like, you know, thick Arctic sort of
• 12:54
  uniform that I think could could potentially work for a cosmic of
• 12:58
  some sort of a rip it apart. So.
• 13:01
  Sweet a new mild. Did you get to open your naked
• 13:04
  turtles Mexico? Turtle I did.
• 13:07
  They are awesome. Yeah, they are the the.
• 13:10
  Worth the stress? Oh yeah, yeah, they are the, for
• 13:14
  me, the best turtle figures that you know exist to.
• 13:18
  Be honest. Brilliant.
• 13:19
  So cool and really well, possible and all that kind of
• 13:24
  stuff. Yeah, yeah, really good, really
• 13:26
  good. It came with a little leaflet
• 13:28
  warning you about the joints and just heating it up a bit.
• 13:30
  So I just, you know, sat there and blasted them with the heat
• 13:33
  gun before I did anything with them.
• 13:35
  But they were, they were fine. They were.
• 13:37
  And not loose either. But yeah, really cool, really
• 13:41
  fun. Did you?
• 13:42
  Change. Did you double in the cartoon
• 13:44
  ones as well or did you resist? No, no, no, they.
• 13:47
  I thought they looked quite fun. It just shows what FOMO does to
• 13:51
  people though, doesn't it? Because all I saw was people
• 13:53
  slagging them off and then they're sold out within.
• 13:57
  Yeah, there's plenty of people that are like, yeah, these
• 14:00
  little sell on eBay and there's plenty that yeah, it's just
• 14:03
  FOMO. But also there's plenty that
• 14:06
  maybe like want them and they're not cool to, you know, when they
• 14:10
  see people moan about them, they're just going to say when
• 14:12
  I'm buying them anyway because I like them.
• 14:14
  So yeah. So Mali, you hoping that they do
• 14:17
  more characters or they don't do more characters for the wallet's
• 14:20
  sake? What?
• 14:22
  No, I I actually hope they do more because this will be, that
• 14:24
  will become my turtle line sort of thing.
• 14:27
  They'd already announced Casey Jones, Who, You know, I try.
• 14:31
  Oh, I missed that. OK, yeah, yeah, he looks like
• 14:35
  he'll be pretty cool. And he's one.
• 14:37
  Of my friends. Cole Schrader, come on.
• 14:41
  No, no, no. I mean, yeah, I suppose he would
• 14:44
  look really cool, but I I don't know, I'm not so fussed by the
• 14:47
  bad guys. It's the good guys alike, OK?
• 14:49
  Or the mutants. In April or the mutants, I say I
• 14:52
  wouldn't be that fussed by an April a splinter.
• 14:54
  Splinter would be cool. Splinter would be cool.
• 14:57
  Who can some of the. Other have to battle somebody.
• 14:59
  I mean they can't battle the. They could battle the figure
• 15:02
  obscurers maybe? No, this is true.
• 15:04
  I suppose you need some foot soldiers.
• 15:06
  They'll probably do like a little foot soldier.
• 15:08
  Then you need Treader. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:12
  I mean, I think we'd look amazing as a Mexico.
• 15:14
  Mexico style shredder would be fantastic.
• 15:17
  I'm sure, Yeah, sure would. Right, well, let's get on to
• 15:25
  Anubis and Busted. We can talk about what they what
• 15:33
  they came with all the stuff. I suppose the First things first
• 15:39
  is we got the all in, which was uh.
• 15:45
  If I go down here and show as awesome pictures there, but the
• 15:49
  all in came with these awesome pins and the mug proper mug
• 15:54
  again, Mel. I was very happy to see that.
• 15:56
  I have to say uh. While I like the art on the
• 16:00
  other mugs, I don't find them as useful as these mugs.
• 16:04
  These are like tea specials, not to sound sad, but and the pins
• 16:10
  are fantastic. Yeah.
• 16:12
  So the all in was was a 25 more than it was 120 and 1:45 that
• 16:21
  seems to get. Right.
• 16:22
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was 145 for the
• 16:24
  all in. Yeah.
• 16:26
  And then I paid 30 shipping. I think you did too.
• 16:29
  So that was the price of that. You can get also these shirts
• 16:34
  separately from retro rags. Not really a goer for us on this
• 16:38
  side of the pond because you got to pay shipping to retro rags
• 16:43
  for that and it's, yeah, expensive.
• 16:45
  You'd. Be looking for allegiance can't
• 16:46
  pick up when you for that source.
• 16:48
  Yeah, it's not their fault, but that's just the way it is.
• 16:51
  You know, to ship a shirt is going to be the price of a
• 16:55
  shirt. You know, 10 shirts probably
• 16:57
  still the price of a shirt. But yeah, if you just want one,
• 17:01
  not really a gore. So that was that.
• 17:03
  And so that's what I do. And if I'm going to buy it, I
• 17:07
  did take a look at these because I probably, we originally taught
• 17:11
  them it was going to be a mummy of some sort.
• 17:14
  And I probably wouldn't have bought that, let's be honest.
• 17:17
  I got me mythic skeletons and I probably wouldn't have bought
• 17:24
  just a mummy so. This Eric and Jeremy I would so
• 17:30
  please do make them. I will buy locks I mean.
• 17:33
  Unlocks I would have done, but I was happy to.
• 17:37
  Probably happier to see these two.
• 17:41
  I think that I just had spent a lot of money recently so I was
• 17:45
  looking for an excuse not to get them, if you know what I mean.
• 17:47
  Yeah, yeah, for sure. So the Mummy would have been an
• 17:50
  easy pass for me and the tell tell, tell our listeners Rich
• 18:00
  about the message that you got from from Jeremy.
• 18:05
  I think you can say say that that was.
• 18:07
  Yeah, he message. We don't get tip offs from
• 18:10
  Jeremy. We don't get but but sometimes
• 18:13
  you get a little funny message and this was a good one.
• 18:18
  He messaged me saying is your wallet sobbing yet?
• 18:20
  Or pre sobbing perhaps? Oh my God.
• 18:27
  And I responded with, Oh yes, yes, it really is because he
• 18:30
  knows I, I bought some custom Egyptian stuff from Jeremy a few
• 18:33
  years ago. So he, he knows how much I love
• 18:35
  this sort of stuff. So yeah.
• 18:36
  Yeah, and he is, he's he's been known to listen to our show as
• 18:40
  well. So yeah, yeah, he's pretty sure
• 18:45
  that he's got you there with that.
• 18:47
  And right. So here are the figures and
• 18:51
  we've got a One Point O Mail book which is the Anubis and we
• 18:57
  got a 2.0 female which is the best.
• 19:00
  There a bunch of new parts we're going to talk about then, but
• 19:05
  firstly just as figures themselves.
• 19:08
  Lots of new parts, lots of new sculpts and pretty cool.
• 19:12
  Fantastic soft goods again. Yeah, these, these are just so
• 19:16
  good. What's your favorite between the
• 19:19
  two Rich. Definitely Anubis because he's
• 19:24
  1.0. Simple as that, yeah.
• 19:28
  Simple as that. A new man.
• 19:34
  I think it is. I do really like Bastet, but I
• 19:37
  think it's Anubis and in no small part because of these new,
• 19:43
  as we know, going to be used in the noble bear characters, kind
• 19:50
  of more muscular limbs. And so, you know, and they're
• 19:56
  sculpt on them. It's fantastic.
• 19:58
  Yeah, it's a clean sweep for one point O here, then Anubis, but I
• 20:04
  really like Bassett as well. It's the kind of situation for
• 20:07
  me that I, I managed to avoid the FOMO all weekend of of not
• 20:12
  ordering more. It was like, you know, as I said
• 20:16
  to the boys at some stage, I have so many figures for parts
• 20:20
  and you can see them behind me if you're watching the video
• 20:22
  version of this. And often they don't get used.
• 20:26
  So ambition is always stronger than reality for me.
• 20:30
  So I thought if I do end up wanting these parts, I can
• 20:34
  probably get them down the line. Definitely think the timeline
• 20:40
  meet them is probably long enough to wait for any potential
• 20:43
  retailer wave of this. For example, you get the parts
• 20:46
  again or they get used on mythics figures I mean.
• 20:50
  So this is a one point O with what we say kind of wolf or
• 20:56
  feline feet, which is a new thing.
• 20:59
  They definitely can be going to be utilized at some stage in
• 21:03
  mythic legions. And we got the bare lower arms
• 21:07
  and legs, which we definitely will see at some stage in
• 21:15
  Barbarians in Legion. Smile, huh?
• 21:17
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.
• 21:20
  Oh, similar characters at least, you know.
• 21:23
  Yeah, no Barbarians, just a wind, Rich.
• 21:28
  Of it's basically an Egyptian. Barbarian, how do I cancel my
• 21:34
  order? How do I cancel my order?
• 21:37
  And it's the same with the female book as well here, it's
• 21:41
  the same stuff. And what I found amazing here
• 21:44
  was that especially on the Anubis, the torso is like a
• 21:48
  whole brand new torso, it seems. It's not like the torso plate
• 21:52
  thing. It's the front and back whole
• 21:53
  new torso. So they've really gone all out
• 21:56
  with the tooling here. Probably will get must get
• 21:59
  reused somewhere with that. But you see it on the back here.
• 22:03
  And they've also both got tails. That tail is That's not the
• 22:09
  Monkey King tail, is it? No, completely new.
• 22:12
  So it's the same type of system as Monkey King, I would say.
• 22:18
  And then obviously completely new in the female because we
• 22:20
  don't have that type of tail on a female bucket all.
• 22:23
  From watching the door Claire review, there's an additional
• 22:27
  joint there as well, just at the gold plug bit.
• 22:31
  It rotates there as well, so that's cool.
• 22:35
  That's pretty cool. And we see here all the
• 22:42
  accessories that we get, this little blue kind of piece down
• 22:47
  here on the bottom, the kind of semicircular.
• 22:51
  There's a name for that Rich. I don't know if you know it,
• 22:53
  that little semicircular blue thing there below, just above
• 22:57
  the kind of. Do you know?
• 23:00
  I don't know the case actually. OK.
• 23:02
  Anyway that that's tricky to take out of the package.
• 23:04
  So be careful with that because there's a little handle on the
• 23:08
  back of it and if you push the handle and you might, you might
• 23:11
  break it. So this kind of feline, this
• 23:15
  green feline near the paint on that is incredible.
• 23:19
  It's amazing, isn't it? Yeah.
• 23:21
  It looks exactly like if you walked into a museum and saw it.
• 23:25
  Yeah, that sort of aged feel and everything.
• 23:27
  Just brilliant. And there's a ton of heads here.
• 23:31
  4 different heads. I believe the heads are because
• 23:34
  of the different neck pieces. I think the heads are the same,
• 23:39
  but they have a different way of attaching to the head depending
• 23:44
  on the on the neck armor that you use.
• 23:49
  So I guess we'll get more into that when we get the figures
• 23:53
  themselves. A little basket here, which is
• 23:55
  sweet. These little what do you, what
• 23:58
  are they called again? That up in the top right there,
• 24:00
  Rich Canopic, Charles Canopic Charles, there you go.
• 24:04
  And and what is this thing that looks like a guitar but
• 24:07
  obviously is not a guitar? I mean, I haven't clue.
• 24:10
  Kind of what's called it does. She's renowned for carry in all
• 24:15
  the images and that sort of thing.
• 24:16
  OK, I can't remember. It's called bone me two seconds.
• 24:21
  Yeah, no problem. We can keep going there.
• 24:24
  Then obviously the headdress thing, the other parts we get on
• 24:29
  to what comes with the new in the Anubis box.
• 24:32
  So these are two, it's a 2 pack, but there's two separate boxes.
• 24:36
  So which gives potential for maybe these being sold at
• 24:39
  separately at some point either at shows maybe or although they
• 24:43
  did get sold at this shop, the curiosity at the weekend, which
• 24:46
  was cool. People were able to get them,
• 24:47
  not the all in, so, but you get your hands on the figure already
• 24:53
  that Saturday shortly after they went live the first time, which
• 24:57
  was awesome for those people that went to that show.
• 25:01
  Which is why we got to see some people actually had them unboxed
• 25:04
  very soon after the drop, which was using to some people that
• 25:07
  weren't paying attention. That confused the hell out of
• 25:09
  me. I was paying attention and it's
• 25:10
  still confused the hell out of me.
• 25:12
  I think Blaze Bear had them and I was just like, what the hell?
• 25:15
  How the hell has he got that I don't want?
• 25:19
  Yeah. And obviously Bill from
• 25:21
  Torclair, he's part of the kind of figure A-Team at this stage
• 25:24
  and that he gets the advanced copy for review and he was at
• 25:27
  that show as well. So he was picking up his
• 25:29
  multiples from. There.
• 25:32
  So the musical instrument for Bastet is called a systrum.
• 25:38
  Ah OK. A form of rattle used used most
• 25:43
  notably by the ancient Egyptians.
• 25:46
  OK, Well, if I, if I manage the time, I'll try and get a little
• 25:50
  bit of what do you call it against systrum.
• 25:52
  Systrum SISTRUM. There you go.
• 25:56
  I might try and get a little bit of sister music over over us
• 25:58
  here as we speak and. In that case, they need to
• 26:01
  release a Mongol warrior at some point, so we got a Mongol throat
• 26:03
  singing on the On podcast. To be fair, I mean if you ever
• 26:06
  wanted blast into a bit of mongol throat singing, I think
• 26:09
  nobody will complain except the listeners.
• 26:13
  No warning. Just like it's just like, what
• 26:17
  the hell? I did look when you mentioned it
• 26:22
  all those podcasts ago, because Rich has talked about Mongol
• 26:26
  short singing before in the podcast, unbelievably.
• 26:28
  And I did actually look it up on YouTube and it's incredible.
• 26:33
  It's amazing. It's not something that you play
• 26:38
  multiple times in your car, but you look it up on YouTube and
• 26:41
  you go, OK, this is amazing. And there's also like a
• 26:45
  modernized version of it. There's some like rock groups
• 26:48
  like Mongol or Mongolian rock groups that that have it as well
• 26:52
  sort of thing. So they'll be doing their like
• 26:54
  heavy metal singing and then all of a sudden they'll do like
• 26:57
  Mongolian throat singing come in sort of thing.
• 26:59
  It's it's more impressive. That's impressive.
• 27:02
  That is impressive. So the the accessories then that
• 27:05
  come with Anubis as you get this massive big tomb thing here with
• 27:11
  the with the dog on top of it. This I saw online at Tutankhamun
• 27:17
  exhibition in Paris and this thing is almost exactly what was
• 27:22
  sitting at the front. Yeah, they said they based it on
• 27:25
  that was found in his tomb, so yeah.
• 27:27
  There you go. So so that's spot on there and a
• 27:31
  bunch of heads as well. Different canine heads, open
• 27:34
  mouthed 1, some closed ones, the headdress as well, and a load of
• 27:41
  different tans they come from. I think they're already two
• 27:46
  hands that we're aware of but painted in this skin tone.
• 27:52
  There's also there What are these things here to the kind of
• 27:55
  left of the heads? There again, they're display
• 27:59
  pieces from the museums. Displayed, yeah, OK, yeah.
• 28:04
  So I mean again, bunches accessories, you see the value
• 28:07
  there, you know? Absolutely.
• 28:10
  And then I wanted to talk a little bit about, uh, some
• 28:13
  interesting new parts that we got firstly here, uh, these are
• 28:17
  the two point O parts. So we get bare feet, but bare
• 28:21
  feet without the, uh, the little armor piece around them.
• 28:26
  So that as far as I'm aware, that's new and obviously
• 28:32
  interesting potential for the use of them and the wolfy slash
• 28:37
  cat feet, uh, they're awesome as well.
• 28:41
  That leaves potential to different type of characters and
• 28:45
  obviously different type of customs for people where they
• 28:48
  can get and great now that when we get the extra feet, we get an
• 28:52
  extra foot peg. Yes, probably not cost at the
• 28:57
  factory, but so much money saved in like hand cream and whatever
• 29:03
  else. The other lotion to soothe your
• 29:05
  fingers and hair dryer electricity for boiling kettles
• 29:09
  and hair dryers to get those pegs out.
• 29:11
  The only thing I've used worse language on than any feet from
• 29:14
  mythic legions trying to get apart the the 2.0 legs.
• 29:20
  Razor sharp as well, but the feet are a close second so I'm
• 29:25
  very very happy that these come with the ankles inserted.
• 29:29
  Yeah, there's multiple amounts of cash that would have gone
• 29:31
  into the swear jar. Oh, otherwise, yeah.
• 29:36
  I sleep out down from my head to these these new feet that the
• 29:38
  sort of dog cat feet. I'm certainly thinking
• 29:42
  werewolves, yes, because they would work great for whales.
• 29:46
  Eric said he werewolves are mythos.
• 29:48
  He wants to do werewolves. Yeah, these feet would work.
• 29:50
  So yeah. But let me excited know that.
• 29:55
  Yeah, so we're, we're definitely talking werewolves.
• 29:58
  We're talking Little Red Riding Good and the big wide Bad Wolf
• 30:01
  as well. Maybe we're talking, yeah, there
• 30:04
  was an American Werewolf in London, this kind of stuff,
• 30:07
  maybe for Figura. Lots of potential there.
• 30:12
  Bare male feet again, same, you know, copy paste again, the same
• 30:18
  sort of comment, you know, barefoot barbarian, you know,
• 30:23
  really kind of caveman barbarian.
• 30:26
  Look, without any armor and you got the bare lower legs to go
• 30:30
  with these. So, you know, win, win, ma.
• 30:34
  Yeah, although it's the dog feet all the way on this, isn't it?
• 30:39
  He's going all out, Jackal man. That's.
• 30:42
  One thing with the bag, even feet, though, then the
• 30:45
  Barbarians will have an excuse why they can't fight, you know?
• 30:47
  Oh, I dropped something on my toe.
• 30:49
  I hurt my toe. I couldn't.
• 30:50
  That's why I lost the battle. No, you're just a wuss.
• 30:53
  Be gone, Barbarians. Be gone.
• 30:57
  Oh man, he has to get digging. So we've got three bears.
• 31:00
  I get the bare lower arms. I think we've mentioned these
• 31:03
  already. Also those upper arms seem to be
• 31:06
  tooled with this little bracelet around them, which is a very
• 31:09
  interesting, uh, that obviously we maybe missed to talk about
• 31:13
  that with Manisha Cinderhorn because it seems like she comes
• 31:17
  with it. So umm, yeah.
• 31:20
  I wonder if it's glued on or if it really is tooled separately
• 31:25
  and that's the the male uh. Yeah, I think Bill's Bill a door
• 31:31
  class, certainly his review, I think he said that it was, you
• 31:34
  know, attached, yeah, like firmly attached.
• 31:37
  So yeah, whereas the lower one comes off.
• 31:40
  Yeah, and the male has the same piece, you know.
• 31:43
  So yeah, some great new parts, probably some of the parts that
• 31:48
  we've maybe missed, but that's what stood out to me.
• 31:51
  Obviously the belt pieces and stuff like that that come with
• 31:53
  the figure, it's a given. Forgetting your Egyptian looks.
• 31:58
  And then Bill was saying again that they're really soft plastic
• 32:01
  as well. So it's also very, they're quite
• 32:04
  big, the loincloths and the bell pieces.
• 32:06
  So they're really flexible. So you can get actually get some
• 32:08
  really good poses with them. Oh nice, although the more
• 32:11
  flexible they are, the harder there to paint so.
• 32:14
  Yes, yes, painters is a bit of a pain but.
• 32:17
  But that's OK. I think when they appear first
• 32:20
  in these expensive enough figure obscura, it's only the certain
• 32:26
  few that'll be brave enough to use them for customs.
• 32:30
  You know, it's either people that can make a custom and sell
• 32:34
  it for a lot or people that have a lot of money.
• 32:38
  One or the other, Yeah. I'm I'm really excited to see
• 32:41
  what people do at Legions come with these.
• 32:43
  Yeah. And also what the 3D print
• 32:46
  community? Does people?
• 32:47
  Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of aging
• 32:48
  stuff out there already, but who knows what other stuffs are now
• 32:51
  going to appear. And also the pop and swaps,
• 32:56
  which is I think the, you know, probably the most common and
• 33:00
  sometimes the coolest customs. So there's going to be a bunch
• 33:03
  of them popping up as we go along, people using that those
• 33:07
  parts of their all is it's an exciting time.
• 33:10
  So it is. John, could you do me a favor?
• 33:12
  Could you go back to the picture that showed the accessories?
• 33:16
  Yeah, absolutely I can we. Start off with a new bit.
• 33:19
  Not that I've got some crib notes here to talk people
• 33:21
  through. There you go.
• 33:23
  But the little thing in the bottom left corner there, so
• 33:27
  like a cross, but with a loop at the top.
• 33:30
  For those that don't know, that's called an ank or a key of
• 33:33
  life. It's an ancient Egyptian
• 33:36
  hieroglyphic symbol used to represent the word for life and
• 33:39
  by extension as a symbol of life itself.
• 33:43
  And that's very cool to have that in this set.
• 33:46
  That's very cool, yeah. The the blue sceptre there
• 33:50
  sceptors in Egypt we use as symbols of power and domination
• 33:53
  and we're associated associated with the ancient Egyptian
• 33:56
  deities such as Set or Anubis. So again, good link there as
• 34:01
  well as a Pharaohs Pharaohs obviously famous for having them
• 34:05
  and then the canopic jars if you go back.
• 34:08
  Sorry John to. To Berstet, Yeah.
• 34:11
  Oh no. No, no, no, Anubis.
• 34:12
  Stan Anubis. Ignore me, Stan Anubis.
• 34:13
  Anubis has one as well. Yeah, he does.
• 34:15
  So if you are you able to zoom in on the Anubis one, no.
• 34:18
  Sorry. No, that's fine.
• 34:20
  So the Anubis one's got like a dog head on it basically.
• 34:24
  And then if we go to the Bastet set, there is a baboon, a human
• 34:31
  and a hawk on the three there, which I just thought was cool
• 34:35
  stuff. But then having looked at looked
• 34:37
  at it a bit more allowed me to enlighten you both.
• 34:41
  So Canopic jars are containers that were used by the ancient
• 34:43
  Egyptians during the mummification process to store
• 34:46
  and preserve the viscera of their owner in the afterlife.
• 34:51
  At the time of mummification, the lungs, liver, stomach and
• 34:54
  intestines were removed from the corpse to present them from
• 34:56
  eating prevent them from eating away at the rest of the body.
• 35:00
  Each organ was salted in natural, not quite sure with
• 35:03
  eyes and placed individually into one of the four canopic
• 35:06
  jars. There was no jar for the heart.
• 35:09
  Interestingly, the Egyptians believed it to be the seat of
• 35:12
  the soul and so it was left inside the body.
• 35:15
  This is where Eric's work gets really interesting.
• 35:19
  Each of Horace's four sons were responsible for protecting a
• 35:22
  particular organ. So happy or happy, the baboon
• 35:27
  headed God representing the north was protected by the
• 35:30
  goddess Nephi. Nephitis or Nephis, I can't
• 35:34
  pronounce that, and was assigned to the lungs.
• 35:37
  So your lungs always went in the baboon jar.
• 35:40
  So check your jars people. Yep, do a matef, the Jackal
• 35:44
  headed God representing the East was assigned to the stomach.
• 35:50
  Imcetti, the human headed God was assigned to the liver.
• 35:56
  Oh no, I've just seen the spelling for this last one.
• 35:59
  And Quebe Cenoef, or a version of that, The Falcon headed God
• 36:07
  was assigned to the intestines. So not only has Eric done the
• 36:12
  Canopic jars, which is really cool, he's actually got the four
• 36:14
  different heads that were associated with them in ancient
• 36:18
  times. It's such a good little detail
• 36:20
  sort of thing. It's just like, yeah, no, that
• 36:22
  only if we got that. Is one for the nerds I love.
• 36:24
  Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know, if you want, if you
• 36:27
  got a sarcophagus or something in your display, you know, you
• 36:30
  shove the canopic jars next to it and then you, it looks
• 36:33
  genuinely like they've just, you know, Yeah.
• 36:35
  And you get a. Little bit of people, you know,
• 36:38
  oh, there is people like, oh these really cool and say yeah,
• 36:40
  that is the intestines. What?
• 36:42
  I've got, yeah, I've got to say that when I saw them in the set,
• 36:45
  they I was like, oh, wow, they're really cool.
• 36:48
  I mean, I one thing I do remember, because I used to as a
• 36:53
  kid, I, I used to know so much stuff.
• 36:55
  I've read so much stuff about Egypt and ancient Egypt and all
• 36:59
  that. The, the hilarious thing being
• 37:01
  is I've forgotten most of it. But I do remember that they were
• 37:04
  for the organs. Wow.
• 37:08
  Yeah, and here in the Bris, the museum here in Bristol have got
• 37:12
  a really good Egyptian section, like a really good one.
• 37:15
  I mean, they've got some canopy jars in there and, you know, a
• 37:17
  sarcophagus and all this sort of stuff.
• 37:19
  So it was really cool to see those in miniature form.
• 37:23
  I love that that's the kind of detail that I've never have
• 37:26
  known without this podcast. So I'm very happy to to learn
• 37:31
  that Rich. There you go.
• 37:33
  Absolutely. I'm happy to inform people and
• 37:35
  look out for John playing a system at Legions Con as well.
• 37:38
  Everybody, now that we've figured out what it is, is the
• 37:40
  musical member of the podcast. He will be there playing.
• 37:43
  Yeah. So that's it.
• 37:44
  So I'm just going to dump out all the other luggage, all the
• 37:47
  recording gear, anything and bringing on the custom heads and
• 37:50
  I'm just going to stick in one of these things.
• 37:52
  Yeah, yeah, sounds good and right.
• 37:56
  Shall we then get on to a little bit of Egyptian God family tree?
• 38:05
  We're going to educate the masses, or at least riches.
• 38:10
  Let me give a bit of background for everybody first.
• 38:12
  Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So they've.
• 38:14
  Seen. They're rich.
• 38:15
  The ancient Egyptian religion there was about 1500 deities
• 38:21
  that we know about. So that's a lot of deities.
• 38:25
  They, they had one for pretty much everything.
• 38:29
  The Pharaohs acted as intermediaries.
• 38:31
  Intermediaries, I can't speak tonight, between their people
• 38:34
  and the gods. And we're obligated to stay in
• 38:36
  the gods through rituals and offerings so that they could
• 38:39
  maintain Matt, which is the order of the cosmos, and repel
• 38:43
  Isfet, which was chaos to basically treat the gods.
• 38:47
  Well, you repel chaos. The details of religious belief
• 38:51
  changed over time as the importance of particular gods
• 38:54
  arose and declined and the intricate relationship shifted
• 38:58
  at various times. Certain gods became pre eminent
• 39:00
  over the others including the sun God RA, the creator God Amun
• 39:05
  of the goddess Isis, and those any Stargate fans out there will
• 39:10
  obviously know that RA was the pre eminent system Lord in
• 39:15
  Stargate. Yeah, of which you were very
• 39:19
  deep in at the moment. I've just finished the 10 series
• 39:23
  and I've watched the first of the TV movies that finished it
• 39:26
  off. So wow.
• 39:28
  And that's about two months. I have absolutely plowed through
• 39:30
  it. I had a brilliant Facebook
• 39:33
  conversation with Len LaGuardia at the weekend where somebody
• 39:38
  posted up going, oh, Egyptians, maybe that's Stargate.
• 39:41
  And I put a comment up saying like, you know, that'd be
• 39:43
  incredible, absolutely amazing. And Len was like, oh, you're my
• 39:47
  favorite podcaster. There we go.
• 39:48
  You're a Stargate fan as well. And I was like, I'm literally
• 39:52
  watching series 10 episode 15 or something now.
• 39:55
  And then he sent me a picture of him watching Stargate in his
• 39:58
  house. So I had to send him picture of
• 40:00
  me watching in my house. And it's just like, yeah.
• 40:04
  Yeah, we're going full circle. Here, Yeah, we are Stargate
• 40:07
  fans. Right, so tell us about this
• 40:10
  then. Yeah.
• 40:12
  So this is the, this is the Egyptian family tree, as it
• 40:17
  were, of of God. I'm not saying this is exactly
• 40:21
  correct because there are a lot of these out there and some
• 40:25
  people, you know, scholars may have it slightly set
• 40:26
  differently. But yeah, this is the this is
• 40:29
  the the tree. So it starts off with nun or
• 40:33
  nun, the founder God. And then if we go down a little
• 40:39
  bit, John, I don't know the Apep, the snake.
• 40:41
  I've not heard of that one. Then we have RAR, who's probably
• 40:44
  the most famous of the gods, renowned as the father of of an
• 40:48
  awful lot of them. And you have Atom, Namun and
• 40:54
  Mutt. And that's the sort of not the
• 40:59
  Adam and Eve because that's not the right comparison.
• 41:01
  But it's almost like that because Celine and Hillion
• 41:04
  almost look like the creators sort of thing.
• 41:07
  Oh yeah, gods. And then down from then you have
• 41:10
  all the the other kids as well. So you've got a wide range here.
• 41:15
  You've got on the far left, you've got Hathor again,
• 41:18
  Stargate devotees. Well, no Hathor.
• 41:22
  She was a very cool villain. In Stargate we have Sekhmet,
• 41:25
  which is a lion God. We have Bastet looking more like
• 41:31
  a lion in this picture. And interestingly, Bastet
• 41:33
  started off as lion goddess and then at some point changed into
• 41:37
  a cat goddess. And I was doing a bit of reading
• 41:40
  on this and they they reckon that this was maybe in line with
• 41:44
  the domestication of cats. So with the domestication of
• 41:48
  them, then it made sense for her to actually be a cat rather than
• 41:51
  like cat rather than or they have, although they have found
• 41:55
  they so they have her cults, as it were, was particularly
• 42:03
  important in a city called Bubastis and also in Memphis,
• 42:07
  which was the ancient capital of Egypt in the late and Potomac
• 42:14
  for Ptolemaic periods, which I should know because I did study
• 42:16
  at that university. So that's when the Greeks
• 42:18
  basically ruled over Egypt, the Ptolemaic periods.
• 42:22
  There were large cemeteries of mummified cats all over the
• 42:25
  place. And I was watching a Netflix
• 42:28
  documentary, I believe it was not so long ago.
• 42:31
  They were digging at one of these, one of the biggest cat
• 42:33
  cemeteries in Egypt, and they found a lion.
• 42:37
  Mummified lion. Like a only a cub, not a full
• 42:40
  size lion. But still, it was the first time
• 42:42
  they'd found any anything like that.
• 42:44
  And it was mummified. Mummified.
• 42:46
  Yeah. So the mummified cats down there
• 42:48
  and then, yeah, there's a mummified lion cub, which they
• 42:53
  were extremely excited about, having found one of those
• 42:56
  before. Just like, whoa, whoa, yeah.
• 43:03
  So there's Bastet there. The rest of these I don't really
• 43:09
  know particularly well. We've got Mart Shu.
• 43:12
  I apologise for any Egyptians if they're listening to this and
• 43:17
  Konsu and Konsu the. First, sorry, the first four of
• 43:22
  them come from RA it looks like, and then the other ones come
• 43:27
  from. Yeah, I think they're from RA
• 43:31
  and Aten, who's an emoji bell looks a bit.
• 43:37
  It's the sun. Yeah, Yeah.
• 43:39
  With lots of arms, I suppose they're with the rays, I guess
• 43:43
  how they interpreted the rays. And then and then for the other
• 43:46
  ones. And I apologize again here, but
• 43:47
  it looks like Raw Atom and Amun may have had a threesome to
• 43:51
  produce Hugh and Tefnut. Yeah.
• 43:56
  So yeah, all sorts of jiggery pokery going on there.
• 43:58
  Oh. So it's a carrying.
• 43:59
  Then what is it? Konsu and Konsu, and he's from
• 44:07
  Ammon and Mutt. Yeah, it's a bit of a side, bit
• 44:13
  of side action there for them. Is that the same konsu as in is
• 44:17
  it konsu that's in moon night? It is moon night.
• 44:20
  Yeah, absolutely. It looks different, but yes,
• 44:22
  it's the same God. Wow, this is all full circle
• 44:27
  stuff. And Konsu in Moon Night, I mean,
• 44:29
  Moon Night's a brilliant series, but Konsu is such a good
• 44:31
  character in it. Yeah, he's really cool.
• 44:36
  Right. What about this next row of
• 44:38
  characters here? So we're on to tar Kadesh
• 44:44
  Rochette, my favorite tarat, which is the lovely hippo lady.
• 44:52
  Yeah. It's going to say hippo.
• 44:53
  Give us a hippo. And she escorts.
• 44:57
  Well, certainly from Moonlight. I presuming that was based on
• 45:00
  the the ancient tales as well. She escorts the dead across the
• 45:06
  the desert to the The Good Place.
• 45:10
  Let's. See, and she hangs out with
• 45:14
  bears from Happy Mondays. She does he's he's even dancing
• 45:18
  like bears from Happy birthdays. Look.
• 45:19
  At it well. Just with tambourine and he's
• 45:22
  away in a hack. He is.
• 45:23
  He is the deity of music, merriment, and childbirth.
• 45:27
  So amazing. He was.
• 45:31
  He looks like he's possibly the the dwarf fan's favorite.
• 45:35
  Doesn't. He There we go.
• 45:39
  Played by Peter Peter Dinklage in any movie that comes up.
• 45:43
  Yeah. In the Figure Obscura Tales
• 45:47
  movie here he's yeah. With that mouth, Imhotep,
• 45:51
  Imhotep, Imhotep I think. Was that the one from The Mummy?
• 45:58
  It was. It was the name of the priest,
• 46:00
  wasn't it? In The Mummy he was Imhotep.
• 46:03
  Possibly. Yeah, that he was the bad guy
• 46:05
  anyway. Yeah, he's definitely the bad
• 46:06
  guy. Yeah, it was, it was Imhotep.
• 46:08
  We have Nefertum, Gab, Newt and and Babi, the baboon baller
• 46:17
  that's on top of the canopic jars again.
• 46:21
  You know one of him in the future would be amazing.
• 46:23
  Yeah, that'd be cool. Just just saying Forsman.
• 46:26
  Just saying. Imhotep was also a buddy on
• 46:32
  Stargate. Yeah, I was.
• 46:36
  I know I'm pretty bad on Stargate.
• 46:39
  I've watched the odd episode, but might be something to go
• 46:43
  back and look at. But I did do a little bit of
• 46:46
  research just from my own knowledge and yeah, it kind of
• 46:50
  links in a lot of this stuff. It's interesting.
• 46:54
  Yeah, they've, they've in the show.
• 46:56
  I mean, obviously it's, you know, cheesy fun, but they did a
• 46:59
  good bit of research into the gods and how they lined up and
• 47:02
  that sort of stuff. We now have Min, then we have
• 47:06
  Isis and Osiris, who husband and wife.
• 47:11
  They were both in Stargate and interestingly there there go out
• 47:15
  old symbiotes. So the little wiggly worm things
• 47:18
  that Burrow into people's heads. Not fake of Egyptian mythology,
• 47:24
  not just like this is basically a star game.
• 47:26
  Yeah, but their but their their gold Symbians were both sealed
• 47:30
  in canopic jars and then they got out because some Egypt
• 47:34
  opened them. It's funny how that happens so
• 47:38
  much in these. Shows it is.
• 47:39
  Films, isn't it? Leave the jar shut Just.
• 47:44
  Don't do it. It's like, you know, there's
• 47:48
  danger. It's a horror movie.
• 47:49
  I'm just going to go for a walk outside in the dark by myself.
• 47:51
  No, no night. Then we have Nephesis.
• 47:59
  Thank you. And set again.
• 48:03
  We'll start. An awesome anteater.
• 48:05
  Yes, but the anteater version here is much, you know, I almost
• 48:09
  want to say to the Four Horsemen.
• 48:10
  It's like maybe like a a Figure Obscura headset.
• 48:13
  I've heads backed him up so he's an art of Arc.
• 48:17
  He's an Aardvark. OK, first letter, the first
• 48:24
  first word in the dictionary, isn't he?
• 48:28
  Possibly, I don't know. If you were calling an Egyptian
• 48:30
  God, he'd be the first one in the book.
• 48:34
  He's based on an aardvark. Interesting aardvark fact.
• 48:38
  If you see them at zoos you will only ever see them sleep because
• 48:41
  they're nocturnal. So in the night they're
• 48:44
  frolicking all over the place, in the daytime they are.
• 48:47
  Fast asleep, sounds like one of my cats.
• 48:53
  We then have take us down John. We then have Horus, another
• 48:58
  pretty famous God, interestingly one of the Gothitropolis
• 49:07
  Egyptian figures with him, the name, the range now, but they
• 49:11
  had a Horus in that as well. Yeah, I've got it in my display.
• 49:16
  Was it the 7th? Kingdom was the. 7th Kingdom.
• 49:19
  Thank you, Mal. Or 7th day with scarabus as well
• 49:23
  and stuff. Yeah, it was all that sort of
• 49:25
  period. I'm sorry this is terrible
• 49:26
  background, but yes. And they have Horus Heresy in in
• 49:30
  Warhammer as well. They do yes, but I know I've got
• 49:33
  the the 7th Kingdom Horus. It's the leader of my Egyptian
• 49:36
  Slal faction actually. We then have Yeoman Anubis.
• 49:42
  Yep. Here he is.
• 49:44
  Here he is, we then having as impressive as the figure
• 49:47
  Obscura. No, definitely not.
• 49:49
  We then have APIs. Who's a cow again?
• 49:54
  Head pack. Cow head pack?
• 49:55
  Yeah, yes, please. This is the next one.
• 49:58
  We need a figure obscura and and and they need to make it out
• 50:01
  like the moose body. That's what we need.
• 50:03
  But and like a skirt piece and that sort of thing.
• 50:09
  And if we could make it a 2 pack with an ex God Capri which is a
• 50:12
  human with a scarab beetle as a head then that would be
• 50:17
  absolutely awesome. This is the old man, old man
• 50:21
  Kyle nemesis figure. Yes, it is.
• 50:24
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:25
  As long as it's not Cicada, he's OK.
• 50:28
  He's got a bug phobia. I think he I think he wouldn't
• 50:30
  like this either, to be honest. Now right then we got.
• 50:35
  We then have a really cool row here, so we have Mr. Happy who's
• 50:37
  literally chortling. It's brilliant and he's got a
• 50:42
  very cool headdress. I like that headdress as well.
• 50:45
  We then have 4th who's an Ibis looking at the the character
• 50:50
  head. It's a bird with a big long beak
• 50:52
  for a wading bird taking stuff out.
• 50:55
  We then have Sashat Neath, Koonam and Sir Ted.
• 51:04
  So Neath is just a chick with bow and arrow?
• 51:07
  Yeah, but Koonam is some sort of a.
• 51:12
  It's almost like a deer, yeah, or maybe an antelope coming from
• 51:16
  Africa. So yeah, it's it's the Egyptian
• 51:19
  version of Zeil owner, basically.
• 51:21
  I was going to say it turns out Happy is a sadistic so and so
• 51:24
  because he is the God of the annual floods of the Nile.
• 51:29
  So yeah, he's all happy because he's flooding people and.
• 51:35
  That's But then he'd say that. He'd say the flooding led to
• 51:37
  good irrigation and crop growth, so he was actually doing a
• 51:40
  favour. He of this, yeah, that's it,
• 51:42
  fertility of the soil and that sort of things, yeah.
• 51:45
  And. I don't want to call ours, Yeah.
• 51:48
  And I don't want to call to Tat Tat out on this, but it does
• 51:51
  look suspicious. She's like she's wearing a
• 51:53
  Turkey on her head. Oh, could be a Turkey as well,
• 51:56
  yeah. That's an uncooked Turkey
• 51:58
  waiting to go in the oven that she's wearing on her head.
• 52:02
  And yeah, Happy is definitely in charge of the weather here at
• 52:05
  the moment, that's for sure. Absolutely horse and it down
• 52:08
  with rain. Yeah, we've got rain here now as
• 52:11
  well. Not fun.
• 52:13
  We've had like every second day is like just literally 24 hours
• 52:17
  rain. It's ridiculous anyway.
• 52:20
  And then Astro as well the. Very last row we have Wadgett.
• 52:24
  I have to check out these are actually pronounced later on
• 52:26
  Google or something and just laugh at myself.
• 52:30
  Who's a snake? A cobra, in fact, again, cobra,
• 52:33
  head pack, people cobra and a head pack.
• 52:36
  We have Nexbet, who is a vulture.
• 52:42
  We have Suquette, a human with a little hat.
• 52:46
  And then we got. Scorpion on the top, isn't it?
• 52:48
  Is it scorpion? Yeah.
• 52:49
  Scorpion looks like a jerk. OK, human with a scorpion head
• 52:52
  pack. And then we have Anuket who's
• 52:56
  got a very interesting headdresser.
• 52:57
  Headdress makes me think almost of like sort of Aztec and Inca
• 53:04
  type headdresses. Yeah, and like setach has no
• 53:10
  feet. Yes.
• 53:14
  So for all the ancient aliens conspiracy theorists out there,
• 53:16
  all those pyramids in the in Central America and there is an
• 53:19
  Egypt, then there you go. She's got the same headdress.
• 53:21
  So clearly they're interlinked. So there you go.
• 53:26
  So we got all those cool images from veritableholcomb.com.
• 53:31
  There you go. So that was a pretty cool
• 53:35
  depiction of the ancient Egyptian gods to give us some
• 53:40
  context for the figure obscura. So that headdress is a crown of
• 53:47
  reeds and ostrich feathers. That's a new cat, is it?
• 53:53
  For a new cat, yeah. Yeah, a new cat.
• 53:55
  Sorry. Yeah.
• 53:57
  However, it is interesting. I don't know either.
• 54:01
  This is good, Mal. You're using the power of Google
• 54:02
  to help us I. No, no, I just know it.
• 54:07
  And quite frankly, you're pronouncing it better than I
• 54:09
  was. So that's.
• 54:10
  All I'm not reading. In your studies, rich, how much
• 54:14
  did you do on ancient Egypt? No.
• 54:17
  We had one. What do Americans call it?
• 54:21
  A semester? One term?
• 54:22
  Yeah, basically of looking at Egyptian, but it's mainly about
• 54:26
  the Egyptian military and that sort of stuff.
• 54:28
  So with an extremely creepy professor.
• 54:33
  Yeah, he's the sort of professor that someone would come to light
• 54:34
  in the future and he'd be fired. But.
• 54:38
  But I allegedly, yes. But the interestingly on the
• 54:44
  Egyptian family tree, I would want to point out that one of my
• 54:47
  favorite Egyptian gods is not on there.
• 54:49
  So, Sobek. OK, so this is which is your
• 54:53
  subtitle here on the screen here exactly?
• 54:55
  Why not? Why not Sobek?
• 54:57
  Because he's a crocodilian God so.
• 55:01
  So I give a quick bio for him. Some ancient Egyptian sects
• 55:04
  believed that Sobek created order in the universe and the
• 55:07
  world when he arose from the dark water and that he was a
• 55:10
  curator of the the Nile River. He was often associated with
• 55:14
  fertility. Sobek was revered for his
• 55:16
  ferocity and quick movements. However, he was an unpredictable
• 55:20
  deity, as were his crocodile counterparts.
• 55:23
  He was sometimes associated with chaos.
• 55:25
  This is why I like this guy. The people of ancient The people
• 55:28
  of ancient Egypt worshiped Sobek in order to appease both him and
• 55:31
  crocodiles in general, and also to ensure the fertility of their
• 55:34
  people and Crocs. Many mummified crocodiles of all
• 55:37
  ages and sizes have been found in Egyptian tombs.
• 55:41
  Sobek was associated with both Seth, his father, and Horus,
• 55:44
  whom he helped birth. He was also considered to be the
• 55:47
  Army's patron because of his ferocity.
• 55:50
  He's an awesome dude. Yeah, so there's the kind of
• 55:54
  typical depiction of him. So yes, he's not far from
• 55:58
  Anubis. Figure we got here with just a
• 56:00
  crock head. Just the crock head, and
• 56:03
  interestingly there is a third party crock head out there that
• 56:05
  looks pretty much exactly like that, but better.
• 56:10
  Yeah, So we'll, we'll maybe give a shout out to Plantry dog toys
• 56:15
  who have a lot of parts that they did an Egyptian kit last
• 56:21
  year. And as we know what planetary
• 56:25
  dog will eventually retire a lot of these parts and they're going
• 56:28
  to close their shop and concentrate on other stuff.
• 56:32
  So this is the Sobek head they have, which is pretty cool.
• 56:38
  Rich, you've got one of these. I don't, and the only reason I
• 56:42
  don't is because I have a Sobek Ogre in my Egyptian ranks.
• 56:46
  Oh, you do OK. So from I want to say it's ATB
• 56:52
  league is the company they do 1-6 scale 12 inch tall figures.
• 56:57
  It's so basically, yeah. So I got I got the not the
• 57:00
  actual figure. I got the head and some a neck
• 57:03
  piece and this sort of stuff from that and I used it on a
• 57:06
  shadow Ecuador. We.
• 57:08
  We should. Probably describe the Sobek head
• 57:12
  here for rather for people who are listening.
• 57:14
  So it's it's got the hood similar to well slightly
• 57:18
  different style but the similar hood to Anubis figure.
• 57:23
  But then he's got a headdress which stands very tall with two
• 57:28
  cobras facing away from each other with what I'm guessing is
• 57:32
  meant to represent the sun or something like that between
• 57:38
  them. Yep.
• 57:43
  It's very cool. Go and look it up on Planetary
• 57:47
  Dog. So is this the so back you have
• 57:52
  rich? That is, yes.
• 57:55
  There you go, TV league. So over scale, although it's a
• 58:02
  16 scale figure. Yes.
• 58:04
  So the heads, the heads are pretty big, but in this sort of
• 58:07
  setting they work really well actually.
• 58:09
  Normally the heads are a bit too big for mythic Legions, Ogre
• 58:11
  scale stuff, but things like the armour, weapons, that sort of
• 58:14
  stuff really well. But the head works really well
• 58:16
  for this as well. And on the shadow Echidron body
• 58:19
  with the tattoos and that, yeah. Here's Sebas Anubis head.
• 58:25
  So again, if you wanted to do your own custom Anubis head and
• 58:30
  you like the sculpt, you get it from Seba Planetary.
• 58:34
  Dog, I feel like Sebas Saba's sculpts, their headdresses would
• 58:39
  work quite well for Stargate styled characters.
• 58:45
  They've got sort of plates that look like there could be those
• 58:48
  retractable. Yeah, plates.
• 58:50
  I was about to say the same thing model.
• 58:52
  I've just only realized I will be buying one of these head
• 58:54
  sculpts and creating a Stargate. Go old.
• 58:59
  There you go. Well, he's got a an awesome
• 59:05
  shield as well here. I love that.
• 59:08
  Yeah, Scarab beetle shield. Great.
• 59:10
  So that is very cool, yeah. And if people are interested in
• 59:15
  the Egyptian stuff, generally Planetary Dog toys have got a
• 59:18
  range of mummy heads, but they are being discontinued at the
• 59:22
  end of this month. So you've got 10 days people to
• 59:25
  get your mummy heads before they disappear.
• 59:28
  And oh, they a lot of them. So yeah.
• 59:31
  I was about so they also do the scales Anubis scales.
• 59:35
  Yeah, you got the you got the scales with a feather on one
• 59:39
  side and a heart on the other, which is what do we say the
• 59:42
  heart is the soul And you said they don't cut out the heart.
• 59:46
  Rich. So no.
• 59:47
  They leave it in the body because it's so important.
• 59:50
  Is it in the scales here? I think they probably take it
• 59:52
  out and then put it back. I mean that, you know, they
• 59:54
  were, they were quite happy to eviscerate people so that you
• 59:56
  know. So just measuring the, yeah.
• 1:00:00
  Measuring the OR Weighing the soul.
• 1:00:02
  But if the heart was heavy, if the heart was heavier than the
• 1:00:04
  feather, you'd LED a bad life and you went to the bad place.
• 1:00:08
  So I presume everybody went to the bad place, because unless
• 1:00:10
  you had a very fat feather, that's not going to balance out.
• 1:00:14
  And then again, there's the ank. Is this the little?
• 1:00:18
  Yeah, the ank. Thing.
• 1:00:19
  But it's got this one's got almost like a serpent coiling
• 1:00:22
  around it. Serpent is cool.
• 1:00:24
  Very like buying some accessories from Yeah Seba.
• 1:00:30
  There you go. Well, I'm probably going to do a
• 1:00:32
  sub order at some stage soon, So if we want to combine for
• 1:00:36
  shipping and then I can, yeah, show up next over to you.
• 1:00:40
  If people I should put shout out to if people want to see some
• 1:00:44
  coolgate, some cool, not coolgate, that's a toothpaste,
• 1:00:48
  some cool, some cool Stargate type stuff Rich associate with
• 1:00:53
  mythic legions. Have a look at Mark Callaway
• 1:00:56
  website and Facebook posts. He's not selling it because it's
• 1:00:59
  IP obviously stuff to Stargate, but he's he's done some stuff
• 1:01:03
  for his own collection. So he's got like for those
• 1:01:06
  Stargate aficionados, a dialing device.
• 1:01:09
  He's done a couple of the guards helmets previously as well when
• 1:01:13
  they were available for sale. I've got a couple.
• 1:01:17
  So yeah, check out his posts on Facebook and that for the sort
• 1:01:19
  of Stargate type look to these things.
• 1:01:22
  Oh, is he so that that dial that he showed recently that.
• 1:01:26
  Yes, so that's the that's the dial home device or the DHD
• 1:01:30
  where they press 7 symbols and then the Stargate opens and they
• 1:01:34
  go through it to go home or it goes to a different planet.
• 1:01:37
  Right, so trying to find them here on his page but.
• 1:01:42
  Oh, they're going to be at the very, very.
• 1:01:43
  It's one of the very first things he did.
• 1:01:45
  So you need to really go back to see the the got old stuff should
• 1:01:51
  have told you this is an advantage and you could have got
• 1:01:53
  it set up. Should have, yeah.
• 1:01:54
  I know, I know. Action would have been key.
• 1:01:56
  I know life's busy. I'm on holiday next recently.
• 1:02:00
  Hey, you see Richland's me, see great, great Instagram account.
• 1:02:05
  Yeah, OK, I give up. It's right.
• 1:02:07
  If you just keep, keep going a bit, keep going a bit further,
• 1:02:09
  John, you're almost there. It's.
• 1:02:11
  Too late was I. No, that's fine.
• 1:02:13
  You can do it in the background. No, but yes, he had he had like
• 1:02:17
  a neck piece similar to what Seb has done actually, and then the
• 1:02:21
  the head thing that opens up to see people's faces.
• 1:02:25
  He had heads couple of Tilk, one of the main characters, and then
• 1:02:28
  he had a weapon as well, like a staff weapon that they they used
• 1:02:31
  to use. It means nothing to you, John,
• 1:02:35
  but Len will be loving this content if he's listening.
• 1:02:41
  There you go, Len. Well, hook your hook yourself up
• 1:02:44
  with Mark and maybe you can do some sort of Stargate tribute
• 1:02:47
  without infringing on IP. There you go.
• 1:02:51
  That would be the the ideal scenario there.
• 1:02:54
  But yes, I I think it's fair to say I mean I was really hoping
• 1:02:57
  for a mummy with this. But when I saw the set I
• 1:03:01
  instantly took the mummy idea at my head.
• 1:03:02
  It was like these are amazing. Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God.
• 1:03:06
  To the point my I paused fall out which me and my wife are
• 1:03:09
  enjoying. And I was like no, no, I just
• 1:03:11
  need to order this. I need to order this.
• 1:03:13
  Yes, you. Yeah.
• 1:03:16
  So finally. So me and Mal and I have watched
• 1:03:19
  Fallout and you're finally getting around to it.
• 1:03:22
  Yeah, I've, I've watched the first four episodes.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah. And what's most awesome is that
• 1:03:28
  Mrs. Jones likes it as well. So.
• 1:03:30
  She does. She's not quite as enthusiastic.
• 1:03:32
  So at the same time she is. Yeah, at the same time she's,
• 1:03:35
  you know, the galls a bit much for her.
• 1:03:37
  When when they started making butt cheek, oh God, I forgot one
• 1:03:43
  was called jerky but but she jerky in the last one.
• 1:03:46
  She was like Oh my God, Oh my God.
• 1:03:49
  But yeah, very, very enjoyable series and she's enjoying it
• 1:03:52
  too, so that's good. OK.
• 1:03:54
  Whereas she wouldn't watch Stargate for some reason.
• 1:03:56
  I don't understand why. Did she watch?
• 1:03:59
  Did you watch The Last of Us? Not yet, no.
• 1:04:02
  She's she's vetoed that, so I need to watch that by myself.
• 1:04:05
  But now that I'm finally through Stargate, I can actually.
• 1:04:08
  Sorry, this is Stargate. And The Fallout and The Last of
• 1:04:10
  Us are two series that I think kind of crossed the bounds of
• 1:04:13
  nerddom into kind of regular people.
• 1:04:16
  OK yeah, like them as well. Absolutely.
• 1:04:18
  At least that's what I think. You know, my radar could be off,
• 1:04:22
  but I think there's lots of people I know that aren't into
• 1:04:25
  nerd stuff that liked both series.
• 1:04:28
  Yeah, no, I need to. I need to take a bit of a
• 1:04:30
  Stargate break and just watch some other shorter series rather
• 1:04:33
  than one that's going to take me two months watching it non-stop
• 1:04:36
  to get through. Well, I don't know, baby
• 1:04:38
  reindeer on Netflix, That's really good.
• 1:04:40
  Yes, I feel good things I want to.
• 1:04:42
  I watched the first couple of episodes ages go and I'll go
• 1:04:44
  back to it. A series called Hunters on
• 1:04:46
  Amazon about Nazi hunters. Before, Yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:49
  The 1st 10 minutes of the first episode, you like jaw on the
• 1:04:54
  floor sort of thing. It's just like, Oh my God, it's
• 1:04:59
  so dark and like, yeah, so I need, I need to watch the two
• 1:05:02
  series there. OK, I think we may, I think we
• 1:05:05
  maybe talked about that in the Patreon.
• 1:05:07
  I. Think we might have?
• 1:05:08
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very good.
• 1:05:11
  Well, we got our figure Obscura. We're probably going to get it
• 1:05:15
  in hand. Mine is on the way.
• 1:05:18
  Probably here in time for next. Week already chat son of a Yeah.
• 1:05:23
  Well, just went in bang all in. What?
• 1:05:26
  Yeah, actually that's although we did talk about obviously we
• 1:05:30
  all ordered it. Yeah, I ordered an all in.
• 1:05:32
  That was done. Mal ordered an all in plus one.
• 1:05:35
  Is that right? Plus 2 + 2 Yeah, on Sunday.
• 1:05:40
  On Sunday I had to order another one.
• 1:05:42
  As I said, I've got the all in the one to stay, the all in
• 1:05:44
  with. Well the way to word this one
• 1:05:46
  will stay in box, one will be displayed and then I needed one
• 1:05:49
  to play with the parts and got you do a bit of pop and swap.
• 1:05:53
  Leave Anubis parts alone, you pervert.
• 1:05:59
  Rich. I I ordered four sets, three of
• 1:06:05
  which are for me and one is for another UK collector, Dennis.
• 1:06:09
  He was aware on holiday, so he's like, can you order me?
• 1:06:11
  So I was like, yeah, no problem at all.
• 1:06:12
  I'll pick that up for you. I tried he.
• 1:06:15
  Obviously, Dennis does it's great.
• 1:06:18
  Great comments. Yeah, he doesn't regular customs
• 1:06:20
  too. Dennis.
• 1:06:22
  I tried to do three sets and an all in and the shipping jumped
• 1:06:26
  from $62.00 for four sets to $106.00 for three and an all in
• 1:06:34
  and at that point I was like no, I'm not spending 40. 4 heavy
• 1:06:36
  changes. There, Yeah.
• 1:06:38
  So, so I will do without the pins.
• 1:06:40
  I don't normally go for Orleans, but I was quite tempted like
• 1:06:42
  these. But I can survive without
• 1:06:43
  mugging pins. That's fine.
• 1:06:46
  Yeah, you probably the mug probably be difficult to get.
• 1:06:48
  I know that for example at last legions con there was a box full
• 1:06:53
  of the like monkey king pins and so.
• 1:06:57
  After that, I'll definitely pick them up.
• 1:06:59
  Oh yeah. Think they're.
• 1:07:00
  Yeah, they're very easy. They're like the, they're like
• 1:07:03
  the packets of sweets at the tail in the grocery store, you
• 1:07:06
  know? Yes, you know.
• 1:07:09
  Oh, pins. Yeah, well I'm already spending
• 1:07:11
  a grand on figures degrade on 2 pins.
• 1:07:14
  It seems fair. I I won't be doing that this
• 1:07:18
  year. I'm going to buy a limit buying
• 1:07:20
  limit on myself, no? To say Rich will not be spending
• 1:07:25
  a grand on say. Thank you, Mal.
• 1:07:27
  Thank you. That's the attitude apart.
• 1:07:29
  From apart from the exclusives, which I'll definitely get and
• 1:07:35
  probably keep the, you know, try and bring back a box set of
• 1:07:39
  each. And I definitely think any other
• 1:07:43
  figures I get will be just loose in the bag extras, which that's
• 1:07:50
  what I did with the good few this year.
• 1:07:52
  And and then the other box that Len kindly shipped for us.
• 1:07:55
  I did a lot of in package figures.
• 1:07:57
  But I don't know why I did that in the end because I mean the
• 1:08:01
  figures are fine, but I don't know why I didn't get them in
• 1:08:03
  package because actually I don't need them in package.
• 1:08:06
  So it was just a waste of I could have just fixed fitted all
• 1:08:10
  those figures into my luggage. So I think this year my rule
• 1:08:14
  would be if, if I can, if I need the figure to, you know, take
• 1:08:19
  out of the package and throw in the luggage, fine.
• 1:08:21
  But otherwise no. Yeah, buy some.
• 1:08:24
  You know, you cursed me last year for breaking your eardrums
• 1:08:28
  with all the plastic I'm packing.
• 1:08:29
  But it's the way to do it. Unpack them.
• 1:08:31
  Shim in a bag and you know so many suitcase.
• 1:08:34
  The, the, the hotel needs to really get like three or four
• 1:08:39
  more recycling trucks that Monday because we can get a lot
• 1:08:43
  of packaging to bring home or to bring to the recycling centre,
• 1:08:47
  that's for sure. See if any entrepreneuring
• 1:08:50
  children or Legions con set up an opening station.
• 1:08:54
  I'll open each of you figures for a dollar a go.
• 1:08:56
  Boom, boom, boom. There you go, 20 figures
• 1:08:58
  unwrapped for your $20 kid. There you go.
• 1:09:00
  Go and buy something good for yourself.
• 1:09:01
  Well. In in a country like America,
• 1:09:04
  that's definitely a possibility. That's an enterprising idea,
• 1:09:09
  that's for sure. That's for sure.
• 1:09:13
  Right. So I think we're good.
• 1:09:15
  What are we going to do now without football for the sad?
• 1:09:18
  Times I watched the watch the Liverpool game.
• 1:09:21
  Smile a bit more based. On Yeah, I was going to say.
• 1:09:26
  Were you crying about Clapo there?
• 1:09:28
  Rich I was unhappy obviously when they broke the news a few
• 1:09:32
  months ago. I was devastated there.
• 1:09:33
  I've had time to get used to it a bit more now.
• 1:09:35
  But they didn't mess around with the replacement though the
• 1:09:37
  replacement was in the next day. Yeah, Arna.
• 1:09:41
  Arna slot. But now he's he's had coach as
• 1:09:46
  opposed to yes. I mean Clop was heading a little
• 1:09:49
  bit towards that anyway sort of thing.
• 1:09:50
  So they put in I. Think by force of personality.
• 1:09:53
  I think Clop was always basically manager, you know, I.
• 1:09:56
  Think Liverpool have been keen for quite a number of years now
• 1:09:58
  to do like a transfer committee. So you know, you can't just be a
• 1:10:02
  manager going. I want that player.
• 1:10:03
  It's like, you know, there's a committee that decides.
• 1:10:05
  But Clop I think got his way quite often because of
• 1:10:08
  personality wise, whereas a new guy coming from the Dutch
• 1:10:11
  system, which is very much a director of football and a
• 1:10:13
  coach, he's used to that method. So he'll he'll be absolutely
• 1:10:16
  fine in that system. So a couple of things.
• 1:10:18
  So the EUR coming up at least. So that's going to be something
• 1:10:21
  to watch. Whales are in there as well.
• 1:10:23
  They're not. No.
• 1:10:24
  We got knocked down. Thanks, John.
• 1:10:27
  Remind me of that. Thank you.
• 1:10:28
  Yeah, we lost. To be some.
• 1:10:30
  We lost Poland the last qualifying thing.
• 1:10:33
  Sorry, but well, I mean, we're at the door ages ago.
• 1:10:36
  So, you know, I wasn't even considering.
• 1:10:40
  I I thought it was funny. So Noel Gallagher from Oasis,
• 1:10:46
  they asked him on the pitch afterwards on the game on
• 1:10:50
  Saturday, the Man City game or Sunday that you looking forward
• 1:10:53
  to watching Phil Foden at the EUR and he goes, no, I'm an
• 1:10:56
  Ireland fan. What are you talking about?
• 1:11:01
  So Oasis are now Irish, just in case you're wondering.
• 1:11:04
  There we go. Explains a lot, doesn't it?
• 1:11:10
  One more bit of footballing news.
• 1:11:12
  Chelsea sacked Potoschino. Yeah, they did a.
• 1:11:15
  Couple of hours ago. It's like what is wrong with
• 1:11:17
  them? It's just that.
• 1:11:19
  You never learn. And it's the best job in the
• 1:11:22
  world is a football manager of a Premier League club because even
• 1:11:25
  if you're rubbish, you're going to get fired and you're going to
• 1:11:27
  get your rest of your contract. Paid.
• 1:11:29
  Oh yeah, yeah. Does Everybody's lost.
• 1:11:30
  Left Brighton as well. Mal.
• 1:11:31
  Has he? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:34
  OK. Coincidence.
• 1:11:36
  We'll say. We'll say.
• 1:11:38
  Yeah, I heard. You heard to work with the.
• 1:11:40
  Really more interesting for me was company Vincent company's
• 1:11:46
  been linked with Bayern Munich. Oh my God.
• 1:11:49
  He's just literally got Burnley relegated after a dreadful
• 1:11:51
  season and he's looking to Bayern Munich.
• 1:11:53
  It's like, wow. Things go from good to worse to
• 1:11:57
  be bad to worse for hurricane. It's a Mickey Mouse league,
• 1:12:00
  isn't it? Let's be honest, the.
• 1:12:03
  Sorry, sorry, Ralph and Nico and everybody else listens to this.
• 1:12:06
  Apologies, but yeah. Yeah, so there you go.
• 1:12:12
  We're we're left with that sport to watch for a while.
• 1:12:14
  So we're going to have to concentrate much more on
• 1:12:16
  figures. A couple of Patreon episodes
• 1:12:20
  done boys as well. We will definitely do a couple.
• 1:12:22
  We need to the 80s action movies one, but definitely I'm good to
• 1:12:25
  go on that now so. And I found my I've been looking
• 1:12:29
  for for ages. I found our our honeymoon diary
• 1:12:33
  that we did in Australia. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:12:35
  Don't tell people about that. No, no, no, it's not.
• 1:12:40
  No matter what diary is, if you're you're not going to write
• 1:12:42
  down about that kind of stuff in the diary, this is like.
• 1:12:45
  For the patrons. I wanted to have a chat with my
• 1:12:52
  wife because I mean, I can easily do that here to do an
• 1:12:57
  episode, but I thought there was some fun stuff in that diary
• 1:13:01
  about shit that went out because I like on that.
• 1:13:04
  On that trip I got food poisoning.
• 1:13:07
  I ended up having us in like, uh, because we had a cup.
• 1:13:10
  We did a road trip and a lot of it was booked, but there was a
• 1:13:13
  couple of days where you had to kind of book the accommodation
• 1:13:16
  the day before. And I ended up at least twice,
• 1:13:21
  definitely once, maybe twice in a complete shithole hotel.
• 1:13:26
  And I knew there was some funny stuff in the diary because it's
• 1:13:29
  like, it's, it's 15 years ago now, nearly, uh, 2009.
• 1:13:34
  So umm, I knew there would be some fun stuff, so I planned to
• 1:13:38
  just kind of read out some some stuff and get her to come and
• 1:13:40
  done it. So that should be fun.
• 1:13:42
  Excellent, I mean you said it was a shit hotel but at least it
• 1:13:46
  was there. I went on a stag do to Hamburg
• 1:13:50
  and we turned up at hostel and hostel didn't exist.
• 1:13:54
  So there was about 2324 of us stood on the street in Hamburg
• 1:13:58
  with nowhere to stay. Yeah, that's worse.
• 1:14:02
  Yeah, luckily one of the guides guys had spent a few years in
• 1:14:04
  Germany because his dad was in the forces when he was younger,
• 1:14:07
  so had a, you know, an OK understanding in German.
• 1:14:10
  So we like trawled round all these different hotels and
• 1:14:13
  finally found somewhere. But yeah, that was fun.
• 1:14:17
  Now this one was a Paddy's bar was the name of the place in the
• 1:14:21
  head hotel attached to it and they had a full like heavy metal
• 1:14:26
  rock concert on the same day that I didn't know about.
• 1:14:29
  And the entire contents of the hotel was literally 19 to 20
• 1:14:34
  year old people going to the gig.
• 1:14:38
  Yeah, Oh my goodness. I.
• 1:14:39
  Met some guy in the corridor on the way down and he was like a
• 1:14:42
  promise I'd be so drunk later I won't make any noise.
• 1:14:48
  Amazing. Yeah, we were in.
• 1:14:52
  We got up like. First thing and just like that.
• 1:14:55
  We were in San Diego a few years ago, me and my wife, and we
• 1:14:59
  found this lovely little quaint boutique hotel and it was like
• 1:15:02
  every room was decorated in a different style, you know, like
• 1:15:05
  real quaint sort of thing. So we booked the night.
• 1:15:07
  We booked in there. Brilliant.
• 1:15:09
  You know, I think we were staying for two nights in that
• 1:15:11
  one. That's great.
• 1:15:12
  Working up at 5:00 AM on the Sunday morning by a band, Rock
• 1:15:16
  Band playing directly outside the hotel because we hadn't
• 1:15:20
  realized it was a it was a San Diego Marathon and every mile
• 1:15:24
  had a different live group playing. 5:00 AM.
• 1:15:28
  In the sound check. No, they were just playing.
• 1:15:30
  I don't know what time the marathon is like because it's
• 1:15:32
  pretty hot there. Maybe they started yeah, 5:00 AM
• 1:15:34
  and we just like what the hell is going on?
• 1:15:39
  Maybe they're on the UK time? Maybe.
• 1:15:42
  Yeah. It's like, Oh no, no, no.
• 1:15:46
  I love it. War stories.
• 1:15:47
  Yeah. All righty.
• 1:15:49
  Well, that's it for this week, I think, and I can't wait to get
• 1:15:55
  these figures. We'll definitely have a little
• 1:15:59
  chat next week about how they are in hand and I'm sure they
• 1:16:02
  will arrive. I'm gonna reach yourself for two
• 1:16:04
  months. Let's be honest.
• 1:16:05
  Rich is off to Wales so he probably won't get them anyway,
• 1:16:07
  although he is hoping to be able to talk to us next week as well
• 1:16:11
  because there might be Wi-Fi where he's going so.
• 1:16:15
  Yes, and like my normal Welsh destination that this one
• 1:16:17
  actually has, you know, modern amenities.
• 1:16:21
  Yeah, modern conveniences here. I'd like to make one final
• 1:16:26
  comment about both of the figures.
• 1:16:28
  I would say Bastet is perfect and Anubis is the dog's
• 1:16:36
  bollocks. I have no more words.
• 1:16:43
  Awesome man. Stay safe out there everybody.
• 1:16:48
  Watch out for angry crocodiles. You haven't had doughnuts?
• 1:17:19
  None.
