  My wallet is sobbing. Welcome to episode 113 of the
• 0:37
  Allegiance Podcast. And this week we're going to
• 0:40
  have some fun. We're going to look at what we
• 0:43
  have instead of what we are always looking forward to
• 0:47
  predicting. You know, why not have a look at
• 0:50
  the figures that we actually have in our collection or that
• 0:52
  we could actually have, you know, might have, you know,
• 0:55
  we're not all completed here. So, you know, we might have all
• 0:58
  of the figures that we talk about where we're going to talk
• 1:01
  about favorite characters in midtos and we've kind of split
• 1:04
  them up into different categories.
• 1:07
  Simple enough as like barbarian, dwarf, night orc, this kind of
• 1:11
  things and female magic user. We have a wild card in there, an
• 1:16
  assassin in there. You see them, a bunch of them.
• 1:19
  If you're watching this on YouTube or if you see the the
• 1:21
  little thumbnail on the podcast player, you'd see all the
• 1:24
  different categories listed there on the thumbnails.
• 1:27
  So that's what we're going to talk about and it's going to be
• 1:30
  a bit of fun and nice to kind of remind ourselves of the figures
• 1:35
  that are in our collections or could be in our collections.
• 1:38
  We're not waiting for them to to ship from previous pre-orders.
• 1:43
  Most of them anyway. I don't know about you guys,
• 1:46
  man. Did you have you chose chosen a
• 1:47
  few that are are currently on the way to us, shall we say or?
• 1:52
  No, I've no, I don't want to spoil what I'll be saying later.
• 1:59
  So no, I've gone very much for what I've got in hand already.
• 2:04
  Cool. And you're rich.
• 2:06
  I tried to do that but there was 1 figure that we don't have in
• 2:09
  hand yet that's I had to put in because I love the figure.
• 2:11
  Yeah. So I tried to minimise it as
• 2:13
  well, but there was one or two that I maybe one that I that.
• 2:18
  Side of things because they do things get.
• 2:22
  Yeah, things get tricky. This, this, I'll be honest as
• 2:25
  well, this first category I won't have anything to say
• 2:27
  because it's barbarian, so just skip past me.
• 2:32
  No, but in all seriousness, I've got a little sheet of bullets on
• 2:35
  for each category. You know, it's one at the top
• 2:37
  there, Barbarian, only two bullets.
• 2:39
  Everybody else has got more bullets.
• 2:41
  Wow. Well, more than I've done.
• 2:43
  That's not an Excel sheet though.
• 2:44
  I'm not. It's not.
• 2:46
  It's a Word document. I thought I'd mix it up this
• 2:47
  week and go crazy. Wow.
• 2:49
  Did you see the thing I post in our discord?
• 2:52
  You did? Probably Excel times.
• 2:53
  Or whatever it was. Excel World Championship Top 12.
• 2:56
  I was, I don't know why you weren't there, you know?
• 2:58
  Now these guys seem to be like mega programmers though, you
• 3:02
  know they're not. Just I love Excel and I'm I
• 3:05
  yeah, you know, I'd say I'm pretty good at Excel, but not
• 3:08
  that sort of level. Many shows imagination so.
• 3:11
  Yeah, it's, you know, he could does various different levels
• 3:14
  probably eh, you can be very good at it for your particular
• 3:18
  job. But I think there is people that
• 3:19
  work in you know IT programming that use it for organizing data
• 3:25
  that in ways that we wouldn't be able to comprehend.
• 3:28
  I think to think that certainly, but you've.
• 3:31
  Got a couple of those in the offices, like somebody goes I
• 3:34
  need to speak to an exile expert.
• 3:35
  And you get like Ed just sits over there, go speak to head.
• 3:38
  He's your man. He can speak in rectangles,
• 3:45
  that's it. And and Mal just has to fix
• 3:48
  Excel crashing all the time. I don't deal with Microsoft
• 3:51
  programs, we deal with deal with our own internal applications.
• 3:55
  So what else deals with the Microsoft issues?
• 3:58
  I see, I see. I love it.
• 4:00
  I love it. Sort of.
• 4:03
  We do deal with some Microsoft issues because it's Microsoft
• 4:06
  and there's issues. And you and I have had to
• 4:10
  deliver a very quick delivery from the horseman.
• 4:12
  Look at that. Look at that beauty there,
• 4:16
  Ganesha. I've got mine a little fat dude.
• 4:19
  02 up look at that. That was that was seamless
• 4:21
  mouth. I'd never have known you did
• 4:23
  anything there. I was.
• 4:27
  There, screaming ball. We got.
• 4:32
  Yeah, we both have the the pie. There was a name for it last
• 4:35
  week. Hold on.
• 4:37
  I'll go. Back to individual suites,
• 4:40
  they're just piled up, so it's a bit like Ferrera Roche.
• 4:44
  Modaka, There you go. Modaka.
• 4:46
  That's the dessert in the bowl. So very cool.
• 4:49
  How is it in hand then? Now, what's your impression?
• 4:52
  It's really, really impressive. It feels like it's another one
• 4:57
  of those figures that is a little bit of a step up again,
• 5:01
  doesn't it? In terms of quality, soft goods,
• 5:06
  paint apps, just everything about it.
• 5:10
  I did have a few issues getting him to stand upright initially,
• 5:13
  but once I got him waited just right, he he's not a problem
• 5:17
  now. I'll say is it probably falls
• 5:18
  over during the show, but yeah. But yeah, we had that.
• 5:23
  Problem. But maybe it's a bit warmer in
• 5:25
  in the UK, it's actually. Cold part of what it is.
• 5:28
  It's actually cold in my room here in the basement because
• 5:32
  although it's warmer outside, we've switched off the heating.
• 5:36
  So the. Basement gets cooler.
• 5:38
  Right. But I also tend to find that
• 5:40
  it's useful to be able to manipulate the ankle joints a
• 5:44
  bit first so that they don't because I think sometimes they
• 5:47
  can get stuck forward a little bit and you know what I mean?
• 5:51
  So to be leaning forward a little bit and.
• 5:54
  Yeah, that. Seemed to be what helped a bit
• 5:57
  as well and got him yeah Lent just right and yeah, really.
• 6:02
  Yeah, the the ankles are as we saw from maybe the 1st 2.0
• 6:06
  figures we got, the ankles are very important to the whole
• 6:10
  figure itself. How we How?
• 6:13
  Do you think of him, John? What?
• 6:14
  Yeah, I think he's great. Yeah, very easy to handle stuff
• 6:17
  like, you know, changing the the trunk that was really easy.
• 6:20
  Doesn't, didn't need heat. The ears are fantastic.
• 6:25
  I did a little, not a not a just a little quick photograph with
• 6:30
  the the rat on the ear that actually stays there as well.
• 6:36
  I mean, OK, if you were to move it around too much, you'll fall
• 6:38
  off, but you could just put a tiny little bit of tack there
• 6:41
  and with balance on the ear, absolutely no problem.
• 6:45
  So I think I might eventually when he's on a shelf with the
• 6:49
  rest of them, I'll put him up like that.
• 6:53
  So with the little rat think that's the cooler because it's
• 6:56
  his rat companion. So it's not a it's not like he's
• 6:59
  scared of the of the little rat like and maybe an elephant is
• 7:04
  traditionally thought you. Want to see if you can get one
• 7:06
  of the back arms coming over and just picking the rat up?
• 7:09
  I mean, like, dangling, yeah. Oh yeah, that might test the
• 7:14
  articulation. But yeah, that's that's good.
• 7:16
  And yours, Rich, is a is a. While we're recording this
• 7:20
  likely, so it's FedEx, they give you a, they, they turn up like
• 7:26
  either 7:00 AM or midnight. It's just like, OK.
• 7:29
  See you. You ordered singles, didn't you?
• 7:32
  Yeah. 2 singles, yeah. Right.
• 7:34
  And Mal and I got the all in which seemed to be shipped first
• 7:38
  by the sounds of it. I got my 2 singles as well so
• 7:41
  I've got. And have you already got the?
• 7:42
  #2 singles, yeah. Did they, did they come today?
• 7:49
  So singles. Oh, they showed up yesterday.
• 7:53
  Oh, OK. Yeah, that was, I was playing
• 7:55
  with him last. Night come on FedEx look after
• 7:57
  Rich. Yeah.
• 7:59
  I'll be fine, don't worry. Yeah, just unfortunately the
• 8:04
  work. Work is annoyingly busy at the
• 8:05
  moment as well, so it's it's just like manic.
• 8:08
  So yeah. I'm, I'm very busy at the
• 8:11
  moment, so I haven't had much time to do anything hobby
• 8:15
  related really other than little bit of prep for this week's
• 8:18
  episode, which of course is very important.
• 8:22
  And we did have the announcement of the Legions Con tickets,
• 8:27
  early bird pricing. So that's worth saying to people
• 8:30
  if you're going to Legions Con. And so they're going to be
• 8:34
  $40.00 for the weekend. The two day ticket which would
• 8:37
  be $20 a day basically work out as before they go on regular
• 8:43
  price of I think 50 for the the weekend.
• 8:46
  So I think quickly. I think they went up for sale
• 8:50
  the same time as the hotel, but I wonder if they got
• 8:54
  overshadowed by the hotel a bit. So they're sort of, yeah, of
• 8:57
  course people know. But also just that they're
• 9:02
  announcing this is this early bird pricing?
• 9:04
  Get them now, get them cheaper than yeah.
• 9:08
  Exactly so. They have to use Blue Haggon as
• 9:10
  the background though. It's like, really?
• 9:13
  That's a really great art though, from that wave, from
• 9:15
  that, not the blue Haggon wave, but from the deluxe Asian
• 9:19
  builders waves. That's I think I actually have
• 9:21
  that picture. I got it from Nick Burch.
• 9:23
  So yeah. That's OK, I don't mind that.
• 9:28
  Are you sure? I'll say that in case Nate
• 9:31
  listens. Yeah, that's fine.
• 9:34
  I think the good thing about that art is it was for long
• 9:36
  before Blue Haggon was actually a thing in terms of being a real
• 9:39
  figure. So that was the first hint we
• 9:42
  got that that might be coming as an option.
• 9:45
  And then even then it still had to be voted.
• 9:47
  Wasn't it voted in Blue Wagner? No, it wasn't.
• 9:50
  No, it was a retailer wave in the end.
• 9:53
  I think it I think it was in a vote but didn't get through.
• 9:56
  Surprise, surprise before it. Wasn't before it was in the vote
• 10:01
  and it didn't get through so the year after they did it anyway.
• 10:04
  They did. It was.
• 10:04
  Supposedly it was so close. Yeah, that's it.
• 10:09
  And one other cool thing, uh, this weekend, uh, our buddy, uh,
• 10:13
  a friend of the show, Matt Drake, who we had lovely dinner
• 10:17
  with and on the Sunday we met him at Legions Con, obviously
• 10:22
  some multiple times over the weekend, but we had a dinner
• 10:25
  with him and a few of the people.
• 10:26
  Mark Calvo was with us and, uh, I think Trevor and, uh, a few
• 10:31
  other people joined for parts of that dinner on Sunday evening,
• 10:35
  the Sunday evening, it's kind of cool because everyone's kind of
• 10:37
  winding down and, you know, just trying to load up on carbs and
• 10:43
  few beers and kind of not go too crazy for the, for the big
• 10:48
  travel day the next day. So yeah, Matt was, he's over
• 10:52
  teaching in Germany. So I actually managed to meet up
• 10:55
  with him and I had a couple of hours.
• 10:58
  We went for lunch and a little walk around and it was beautiful
• 11:02
  sunny day, so it was great to catch up with Matt for a few
• 11:05
  hours. And when someone comes that far
• 11:08
  and it's possible to meet them, why not?
• 11:11
  Oh. Absolutely.
• 11:12
  Yeah, people would do the exact same for us if we were in their
• 11:17
  neck of the woods. And he did give us a little
• 11:21
  present each, so I'm just going to show pictures.
• 11:25
  So see this little disc here? This little like disc?
• 11:28
  Yeah, it's one of those that comes with I think a Star Wars
• 11:31
  Black series figure from the Acolyte.
• 11:34
  I think that you were talking about maybe before Mal on the
• 11:37
  show some stage. And he said that they those
• 11:41
  figures went on pretty much clearance at one of the stores.
• 11:45
  He was in very, very low price anyway and he picked up a bunch
• 11:49
  of them and he's given us one of those light discs each, so just
• 11:54
  a little picture so. Yeah, I already know what I'm
• 11:57
  going to do with that. Yeah, they'll be in the box that
• 12:00
  I sent to you Rich you you'll have you you have to honesty
• 12:03
  system give one to mouth next time you see him or because the
• 12:08
  next time you have to see him now to.
• 12:10
  Allegiance can't rely. Yeah, I forgot it.
• 12:14
  Well, Mal, Mal's bring it. Back to America to to give it to
• 12:17
  to you. You'll probably get taxed on it
• 12:19
  this time though. Yeah, no, Mal's ATL 25 had a
• 12:23
  little trip to the office with me on Monday, to Birmingham to
• 12:26
  meet up at Mal and then my meeting was cancelled.
• 12:28
  So you went to the office and then he came home with me and
• 12:31
  he's going back up with me on Friday with me and Mel go out
• 12:33
  for a few beers after that same meeting, which has now been
• 12:35
  rescheduled, so. OK, so you are going, but later
• 12:38
  this week, yeah, we have a bank holiday here on Thursday, so the
• 12:43
  1st of May, Labour Day, Monday, so.
• 12:47
  Yeah. Yeah, I think I said that
• 12:48
  before. Ours are always on the day that
• 12:50
  they, you know, the calendar day that they're fallen.
• 12:54
  So this is a May is bank holiday month, this 1st of May, 9th of
• 12:59
  May and also so the second last Thursday, which is some
• 13:05
  religious day ascension or something.
• 13:08
  So 9th of May is Europe Day. You could have had that one.
• 13:11
  I think we've talked about this before anyway, should we get on
• 13:19
  with the the topic at hand and so we're not going to do, I
• 13:23
  might add, I might add pictures in the edit and maybe per
• 13:28
  category. Let's see how we go and put
• 13:32
  first up we have Barbarians and let you go mild because you
• 13:38
  know. My favorite?
• 13:40
  Yeah, well, one of your favourites, so.
• 13:43
  This is a tough one. This was a tough one, but.
• 13:46
  Can I just check are you going to start off with 1 + 7
• 13:49
  honourable mentions? No, no.
• 13:51
  And then keep going. Like that, OK, just like he's.
• 13:53
  Going to play at some point tonight so I'm just checking.
• 13:55
  I can even I can just sorry, I can just transcribe the editor,
• 13:59
  the episode in my editor and every time he says, this is a
• 14:02
  tough one, I can just strike it out and then we can quick batch
• 14:06
  edit done. So realistically, there's only
• 14:10
  like two or three. It's tough in terms of picking
• 14:12
  which you know, this one or this one or this one.
• 14:16
  Not like this one, this one, this one, this one, this one,
• 14:18
  this one. And anyway, I ended up settling
• 14:21
  on the Legendary barbarian with a note.
• 14:29
  This will probably change to Atlas version 2 when we get the
• 14:34
  new version, because part of what I like about Legendary
• 14:38
  Barbarian is the new parts, the new torso and new legs and all
• 14:42
  that. I really like the sculpt on
• 14:45
  that. But Atlas is probably my
• 14:48
  favorite character barbarian, you know?
• 14:52
  So yeah. Right.
• 14:56
  Legendary barbarian was what? Legendary Barbarian.
• 14:58
  So that's your favorite barbarian now?
• 15:00
  We've fixed on that. Yes, Rich then.
• 15:07
  Mine was the barbarian builder. It's the original, OK, Just
• 15:11
  because there's so many parts to it, you know, so many extra
• 15:13
  pieces and that sort of stuff. And in my head, as much as I
• 15:18
  dislike Barbarians, that's what a barbarian should be, should
• 15:20
  have loads of different parts. You know, he's killed somebody,
• 15:22
  got a couple of helmet attachments from then killed
• 15:25
  somebody else, different ones, you know, So I like the idea of
• 15:28
  having all those different parts and be able to swap them over
• 15:30
  and that sort of thing. So it's the builder for me.
• 15:34
  Right, yeah, and I suppose it's easy enough to turn that into
• 15:36
  something that's not a barbarian.
• 15:38
  In it. Some of the best parts though in
• 15:43
  there. I love the still the tassels,
• 15:46
  the waist piece. I don't know why I have to do
• 15:48
  that. It's still one of my.
• 15:50
  Favorite. Not quite sure what you're doing
• 15:51
  there now, but yeah. It's tassels so.
• 15:57
  For me, this can be arrested. In the sign language we
• 15:59
  mentioned doing that. This is one of the, I think 2:00
• 16:03
  that I picked that we don't have in hand yet.
• 16:07
  And and this is brother of Bjorngar picked him because he's
• 16:12
  basically a Viking. So always wanted a Viking, but
• 16:16
  still counts as a barbarian and has a pretty cool bio.
• 16:21
  I mean, pity about the Brad thing, you know, sorry Brad.
• 16:28
  Sorry, Brad. And yeah, so he's a he's an
• 16:31
  elder in the barbarian clan. So I think that's pretty cool.
• 16:34
  So, you know, he's he's seen a lot, he's done a lot.
• 16:36
  He acts as and he's helping Atlas to build the ranks of the
• 16:44
  house, that kind of stuff. So yeah, I just think he's a
• 16:49
  cool character. It looks cool and bit of a
• 16:51
  different twist. I mean, I'm a little bit in
• 16:54
  miles campier. I do like this faction and these
• 16:57
  figures, so I could have picked a few.
• 17:01
  I think the new barbarian, legendary barbarian is a great
• 17:05
  pick as well. And of course, the original
• 17:07
  builder is, yeah, still a figure that I would give to someone
• 17:12
  who's interested in the line and say here, what do you think of
• 17:15
  this every? Time I see one of those original
• 17:17
  builders for sale, I fight the urge to buy it.
• 17:21
  I've got three of them, not the well I've got the you know, they
• 17:24
  were re released. I've got that one and got the
• 17:25
  very original 1. Right.
• 17:29
  And yeah, maybe to keep the structure then we'll just we'll,
• 17:32
  we'll keep going the same order. And this is one that could that
• 17:36
  could annoy our friends Anthony and GUI on especially the Dwarf.
• 17:41
  The Dwarf clan in among the Allegiance faction.
• 17:44
  And you will have strong opinions on this is better.
• 17:47
  Exactly. Yeah, I expect, I expect a
• 17:50
  little a little letter in the post after this episode at some
• 17:55
  point. So favorite dwarf.
• 17:57
  And again, the criteria here is whatever you want, you know, you
• 18:00
  know, you can choose anything that makes it your favorite.
• 18:03
  So well. Another tough one for me because
• 18:06
  I love all the dwarfs. I love that build just.
• 18:10
  And I like dwarfs. They're one of my favorite sort
• 18:12
  of races in along with Barbarians in any sort of
• 18:15
  fantasy. In future, I suspect it will be
• 18:22
  the male dwarf builder that we're getting.
• 18:24
  I forget what it is, King under the mountains or something like
• 18:26
  that. Yeah.
• 18:27
  Anton. Anton of the Forge.
• 18:29
  Yeah, Anton of the Forge I think will be my favorite in future.
• 18:33
  But at the moment with what we've got, I should say partly
• 18:37
  and because again, it's a like, Oh no, it's again, I said this
• 18:40
  to John beforehand. I kind of like characters with
• 18:43
  human heads, you know, with actual more like a character
• 18:46
  head. But there aren't many of them in
• 18:49
  the dwarves as it happens. And ironically, I've gone for
• 18:54
  one that doesn't get there eventually, but I've gone with
• 18:57
  him. I've gone with him because he, I
• 18:59
  think he's got the best bio for me.
• 19:01
  And that's on steel hide, right? Yeah, he's a little bit
• 19:05
  different for dwarf, for a dwarf, and I really like that
• 19:08
  bio. He's the happy dwarf, isn't he,
• 19:11
  Swinging in the trees and stuff. That's it.
• 19:13
  I like the the image of him leaping through the trees.
• 19:17
  Yeah, yeah, he's one I'd love to get in legacies of mythos with
• 19:22
  the with the non helmeted. Yeah.
• 19:24
  Head and that kind of stuff. And maybe, maybe even more
• 19:29
  appropriate armour for. A bit.
• 19:32
  Lightly, yeah, yeah. So that could be something after
• 19:37
  we get the dwarf pack. Straggle.
• 19:40
  Yeah, with some leaves in it in places.
• 19:43
  As if. It's tracking the brave fighters
• 19:45
  vibes may be coming off him. You know, it doesn't have to be
• 19:48
  flocked, but you know. That would be quite cool.
• 19:51
  Action Man flocked. Hair maybe when he takes his
• 19:56
  helmet off he's got pointy ears because his his race.
• 19:58
  Half elf, half dwarfs. Been a bit of into breeding
• 20:01
  going on there. That's true.
• 20:04
  I mean, he was one that came up on my shortlist now, but I don't
• 20:07
  have him. So that kind of knocked it off.
• 20:10
  But I have admired him in your cabinet when I was over a couple
• 20:15
  years ago and bridge, right? Mine is this I've this is one of
• 20:20
  my representation ones. So it's not my favorite dwarf,
• 20:24
  but it is my favorite representation.
• 20:25
  So it's how may golden tooth. OK, This to me is what a dwarf
• 20:30
  should be. It's like, you know, really
• 20:32
  heavily armoured, huge beard, like big old beard, fancy
• 20:39
  headgear. Obviously with the little the
• 20:40
  little wings. He that's that's even worse than
• 20:42
  Mal's arm thinks the wings he's got up there as well, which
• 20:45
  which worked really well. Yeah.
• 20:48
  So as a representation of what I think of a dwarf with big hammer
• 20:51
  and everything as well. It's absolutely helmet.
• 20:54
  Yeah, I at this point I was going to put something from his
• 20:57
  bio in as well to jazz it up a little bit, but wow, his bio is.
• 21:01
  To say it needs an upgrade would be an understatement.
• 21:03
  It's vanilla and lacking any sort of details.
• 21:06
  It's in the early days, it's fair to say, looking at.
• 21:08
  It I think that Colosseum wave as well is an in between wave.
• 21:12
  It's great wave of figures. But yeah, maybe time constraints
• 21:17
  on that one. Yeah, because it being mostly a
• 21:19
  repaint rave, they just put the the bare necessities into the
• 21:24
  bio so. And in another link to Anthony
• 21:28
  and Guillan, I sold my helmet Guillan a couple of years back,
• 21:31
  so. So you don't anymore.
• 21:33
  No, I was presuming they'd reissue it and they haven't.
• 21:35
  So Oh no, who put a luck on that one?
• 21:38
  But there you go, these things. He is a character though, isn't
• 21:40
  he is sort of quite an important character, so we might get him
• 21:43
  in. Yeah, we might get him.
• 21:44
  You never know. Yeah, or.
• 21:46
  Whatever it's going to get, Legacies.
• 21:48
  Was it. I can't legacies.
• 21:49
  Legacies. Yeah, Yeah.
• 21:51
  We don't need to say All Stars anymore.
• 21:52
  That's great and mine is Brompton.
• 21:57
  Orange went for him, and. Yeah.
• 22:01
  Great, great looking figure and he's got the classic kind of big
• 22:07
  beard, bald head, but then a cool crown as well that you can
• 22:10
  put on him because he's king. And then the bio is is really
• 22:16
  great to do with the, you know, he's basically doing a deal with
• 22:21
  Corgo Aether blade. He's working alongside King
• 22:24
  Noglin and it's pretty much on the knife edge how it could go
• 22:30
  for him, you know, so just just a cool kind of character.
• 22:35
  And you could imagine in any sort of media or story with
• 22:38
  Bromden that could be, you could write a really cool kind of
• 22:45
  thread for him in the story that could really take a lot of
• 22:49
  twists and turns in the plot. And yeah, great figure.
• 22:51
  I mean, black and gold, you know, the red beard and yeah, it
• 22:57
  just looks great. He's got that.
• 22:58
  He's got some soft goods that have that kind of fur.
• 23:01
  It's not fur. It's not the fur like Cassia or
• 23:04
  one of those. It's it's more that kind of
• 23:06
  longer hair kind of stuff, isn't it?
• 23:12
  That I think the Freya had that as well, maybe in her.
• 23:17
  So yeah, shout for Brandon. I think he can't.
• 23:21
  I think he can't go wrong with any of those three really.
• 23:24
  Can you? Yeah.
• 23:25
  Again, they're all good, the dwarfs, aren't they?
• 23:27
  They're all awesome, even like the dwarf builders are cool.
• 23:30
  So yeah. I mean.
• 23:32
  Let's forget Ragnar, but yeah, the rest of my good.
• 23:35
  I really like Ragnar. I feel it's all this hate when
• 23:40
  when the person who made him hates her.
• 23:43
  It's like oh. That's the thing, isn't it?
• 23:45
  Even Eric's like that's his favorite one I've done.
• 23:47
  OK, there we go. It's one of Jim's favourites
• 23:49
  though. Jim.
• 23:50
  Jim knows what he's talking about.
• 23:58
  If they do a a question and answer session at the end of G
• 24:00
  Con this year, I've put my hand up and go.
• 24:02
  Eric, why? Why is Ravenna the worst
• 24:04
  character you ever made? Tell me.
• 24:06
  Oh my goodness. He's probably say it's because
• 24:10
  it was designed by committee or whatever it was.
• 24:12
  Maybe, Yeah. But the fans and I like Ravenna
• 24:16
  though, so yeah. I quite like.
• 24:19
  She was in my short list for best female SO.
• 24:24
  Interesting. Just shows people can differ,
• 24:27
  you know? And right, let's move on to
• 24:30
  night so we can annoy Joe Russo. I might have cheated a bit here,
• 24:36
  but it is. It's my favorite night.
• 24:40
  No, no, no, not your Vargas Familias version 2.
• 24:44
  Because to me, yeah, I let it. I let it go.
• 24:46
  The Armoured. He was second to my list Miles.
• 24:49
  There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, he's, I mean, I was
• 24:51
  basically strictly. Speaking didn't even consider
• 24:53
  him, but I can see. I can see why you would, yeah.
• 24:56
  I wanted to go for someone else in the vampire category as well
• 24:59
  so and Vargas is one of my favorite characters so I had to
• 25:01
  get in there somewhere. It's just awesome.
• 25:03
  Even though we have a wild card section at the end for that.
• 25:06
  But yeah, sure, there's someone else who's.
• 25:09
  Another one of my favourites, but it could have been one
• 25:12
  version one or version 2 because I still, even though we've got
• 25:15
  version 2, I still really, really like that version 1 and
• 25:19
  the way that looks. I've gone to version. 2 because
• 25:24
  it is just a little bit of a step up in terms of the quality
• 25:27
  of the figure and the soft goods and and the additional bit of
• 25:30
  story does definitely, you know, adds to the character.
• 25:34
  So yeah. Definitely.
• 25:36
  Yeah. OK, Vargas, Too rich.
• 25:38
  Magnus. Right, good one.
• 25:41
  Is is my favorite. I just, I just like the idea of
• 25:46
  some of the Knights, like a lot of that you see the things
• 25:48
  they're fighting, the demons, the, you know, the the orcs,
• 25:53
  they're all big things. So I really like magnets just
• 25:56
  because he's that big hulking sort of knight build.
• 25:58
  It's like, you know, the armours badass.
• 26:01
  You know, that beard. You could just you know, who
• 26:03
  doesn't love that beard? But that's a that's a beard that
• 26:05
  demands, you know, people follow him into battle.
• 26:08
  Respect. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 26:11
  And then I love some of the bio stuff as well.
• 26:13
  So it's like, you know, a warrior so powerful the soldiers
• 26:15
  under his command often claim he possesses the strength of Leo
• 26:18
  Disus himself. Again, no nonsense, geezer.
• 26:22
  You want to follow this guy? Yeah.
• 26:25
  And then Magnus has a larger than life personality that
• 26:27
  matches his legendary strength. So again, he's down the Tavern
• 26:30
  with you. If he's not fighting, that's,
• 26:33
  you know, that's a good dude a lot of times like.
• 26:36
  He can go for a pint after day at work.
• 26:38
  I mean, that sounds ideally, yeah.
• 26:40
  You've killed 30 or 40 orcs? Go for a drink.
• 26:44
  Yeah, I think as a figure, I love the bulky torso and the
• 26:49
  gold on Magnus is the best gold that they've done.
• 26:52
  So yeah, I love that. And mine is Sir Gideon, too, a
• 27:01
  recent one. Incredible very good one.
• 27:05
  This is 80% because the figure is just so good and I did like
• 27:11
  the original Gideon as well. He also has a pretty cool head
• 27:18
  sculpts. You know he has the the head
• 27:23
  with the face guard that you can put up and down and he has the
• 27:26
  bucket helmet cool paint job. But Gideon too is just next
• 27:31
  level. Next level figure one of the
• 27:34
  best figures in the line at this point so that's why I had to
• 27:38
  pick him I was sure we might get a double up there but we didn't
• 27:41
  so that's pretty good and that's also good yeah move on to the
• 27:48
  next category, which I guess Gideon could also fall into here
• 27:51
  the pious category so the holy you know the holy order.
• 27:57
  So basically eat mostly ether on.
• 27:59
  I mean, you could, you could find in in some others, but.
• 28:03
  Ladies, yes, you could say what's the name is the carries
• 28:08
  the staff. Faustia.
• 28:10
  Faustia. She's a priest.
• 28:11
  Yeah, that's true. Right.
• 28:14
  Pious Mal, who's Who's your pious?
• 28:16
  So we get the double up. So Gideon version 2 for all the
• 28:22
  reasons. It's an incredible figure.
• 28:26
  I suspect if we had if I had ether on and almost certain when
• 28:33
  we get a re release V throne he would fill this gap but at the
• 28:37
  moment it's Sigidium version 2. Yeah, I mean his bio says stuff
• 28:44
  like so Gideon's face shall be tested, yet it shall not break,
• 28:48
  even as the dead rise from their graves and stand against him in
• 28:51
  the fields of battle. So yeah, he is a holy man.
• 28:58
  Yeah, we almost had 222 because he was mine for a while and then
• 29:01
  I changed my mind earlier so. And what did you change your
• 29:05
  mind to? The Templar Relic Guard.
• 29:08
  OK. Which again, I'm gone.
• 29:10
  It's not my favorite of the holy pious people, but it's the best
• 29:14
  representation, I think in my mind of what a pious knight
• 29:17
  would be. So really basic colour scheme,
• 29:20
  No fancy, you know, nothing fancy, no fancy armour, that
• 29:22
  sort of stuff. Not too ornate, you know,
• 29:25
  practical, you know, it shows the piousness of the peers from
• 29:28
  wearing it. So, you know, in that respect,
• 29:31
  that's that pious, holy sort of slide of things.
• 29:35
  And then the buyer for that is awesome, you know, an elite unit
• 29:37
  of 12 of the most capable and loyal Templars.
• 29:41
  So, you know, it's like mixed bandit, a team of Templars.
• 29:44
  That's pretty darn good. I didn't buy 12, sorry Jeremy,
• 29:48
  but I do have about 6 or 7, so yeah.
• 29:52
  Yeah, so he's the he's the Templar that came out in the
• 29:55
  lead the second run of those Legion builders.
• 29:58
  Yes, the reinforcements, yeah, reinforcements.
• 30:00
  Yeah. But I mean, also it's it says in
• 30:02
  their bio that they protect the secret known only to them.
• 30:05
  It's like, will we ever find that out?
• 30:07
  I really want that to be revealed at some point in the
• 30:08
  books or something like that. Yeah, I hope so.
• 30:12
  Yeah. And just the fact that, you
• 30:13
  know, the buyer also says, you know, until they return, you
• 30:15
  know, to the crown eagle who they faithfully.
• 30:17
  So again, that that all all that sort of stuff just screams pious
• 30:21
  to me. So that's how I infer.
• 30:23
  Love it, love it. I this is my second kind of
• 30:28
  cheat. I went for Sayer.
• 30:30
  Sir Andrew here. I think we we might all go
• 30:37
  towards intense Sir Sir Andrew when we get him in hand.
• 30:39
  It seems like a great figure. The bio is fantastic.
• 30:44
  He's a former Basilia member basically, or you know,
• 30:48
  potential Basilia member. So that also gives him a big
• 30:52
  thumbs up in my book. And he's a pyromancer.
• 30:55
  So fire starter, happy days and. Not for his family, but
• 31:01
  generally. For, for, you know, for doing
• 31:06
  well in battle and stuff like that.
• 31:08
  And there's a fantastic bio written by Joe Vaspola, who also
• 31:13
  designed the figure, so that's well worth checking out.
• 31:17
  You know, recognized for his convictions and devotion to the
• 31:21
  orders. And Andrew now leads the
• 31:22
  Repentant, a small band of criminals who volunteered to
• 31:26
  fight the undead and atone for past run doings.
• 31:30
  Sir Andrew's flames destroyed the undead army and his fallen
• 31:34
  allies alike, for what is ash cannot rise again.
• 31:39
  So, you know, if you're, if you want to get rid of those
• 31:42
  skeletons, Sir Andrew is definitely top of the list
• 31:45
  there. Yeah, I've already got three
• 31:48
  members of his Repent Repentant group sorted as well.
• 31:51
  Got 3 heads painted, all good to go.
• 31:54
  So thank you. I think you've shown me these
• 31:56
  before and I still can't. Possibly one of them is brand
• 32:00
  new, but. Sorry, thank you.
• 32:03
  I still can't. Help.
• 32:04
  But that can be Sir Andrew. Is going to get involved with
• 32:06
  Bay Affair somehow but. Possibly.
• 32:09
  Yeah, that would be cool. Maybe.
• 32:10
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:13
  But yeah, we can definitely revisit those customs, Rich,
• 32:15
  when we went to Andrew Lands, hopefully in the next couple of
• 32:18
  months at the latest, right. An exciting one and one that I
• 32:25
  mean, I was definitely this is the character type that drew me
• 32:30
  into the line as well. At the start, You know, I really
• 32:34
  wanted to get my hands on an orc.
• 32:37
  Once, you know, Advent of Decay, I kind of decided to go in on
• 32:42
  and there wasn't there was female orcs there, but I wanted
• 32:45
  to get a male orc. And there was a point in the
• 32:49
  line when these were very hard to track down a little bit
• 32:51
  easier these days. So orc male.
• 32:58
  I think he's just best one by far.
• 33:02
  You're not a huge fan of the orcs?
• 33:04
  No, no, they're all a bit. Sorry.
• 33:09
  They're all a bit. Say me I I think it's cool how
• 33:12
  we haven't got all just green orcs.
• 33:14
  Yeah, I think. I don't think I own any of the
• 33:17
  green orcs except that are not. But the reason he's cool.
• 33:22
  He thinks he's big and all the soft goods and he's a shame.
• 33:25
  And I think he's, you know, he's he's BIOS a bit different as
• 33:29
  well. You're not a bit different.
• 33:31
  He's cool and yeah, yeah, I think he just no pun intended,
• 33:37
  his head and shoulders above the other orcs.
• 33:41
  It wasn't pun intended. It was a my.
• 33:44
  Lie. Yeah.
• 33:47
  Well done. Well done.
• 33:48
  You got it. You got it right, Rich.
• 33:52
  Borthog for me. No, they're fantastic choice.
• 33:55
  Very close. I've got a.
• 33:57
  Green Orc. Yeah, he just edged out Herzog
• 34:03
  for me. I love the bearded look quite
• 34:06
  like the, you know, a lot of the orcs are like clean shaven and
• 34:08
  this sort of stuff. I really like the bearded sort
• 34:11
  of looks of the orc, you know, grizzled appearance and that
• 34:13
  sort of thing. It comes with about a million
• 34:15
  different parts, which is excellent.
• 34:18
  So, you know, you have a helmeted and helmeted heads,
• 34:20
  bare feet, armoured feet. I love that little wine cloth
• 34:24
  that he's got. Yeah.
• 34:26
  Little little chainmail one. That's a yeah, Yeah.
• 34:28
  That's that's an. Awesome one, it's.
• 34:30
  A relatively rare one, a bit more common now with the Knight
• 34:33
  Builders, but still. Yeah, I was trying to sell a
• 34:37
  Volfolk a while back. Could I find one of those?
• 34:40
  No, it took me forever. I eventually found it and it's
• 34:43
  like, right, OK, this can go now, but it just took me
• 34:45
  forever. I'd used it on custom and I
• 34:48
  just, yeah, it was like, you know, the last thing you find in
• 34:50
  your display room is like, yeah, yeah, that's the one that's got
• 34:52
  it on, right. I mean, the bio of this guy is
• 34:55
  pretty good as well. You know, he's he's such a bad
• 34:58
  ass trainer and warrior and, you know, strategist that his work
• 35:02
  got Ozok as high at the ranks as Ozok got.
• 35:06
  So, you know, that's, I really like that idea that, you know,
• 35:08
  Ozok's good, but Borthogs won the gossip there.
• 35:12
  But then they says his true allegiance is with Queen Erksa,
• 35:16
  which hints at problems with Herzog going forward.
• 35:18
  Because I think Herzog is very much a Gorgo man.
• 35:21
  He's a gorgo. So that's, that's something I'd
• 35:22
  like to see them visit so that that bit of bio as well crossed
• 35:25
  me towards him as a character. Love it.
• 35:30
  Mine is bride fighters, of course.
• 35:35
  Yes. I hadn't thought about Bryfight.
• 35:40
  He is an orc. I forgot he was an orc.
• 35:43
  Yeah. Yeah, so you know, must man is
• 35:46
  my all time favorite Masters of the Universe characters, so has
• 35:50
  to get a Bryfight is in there. I actually love this figure as
• 35:53
  well. I'm not it's not just a bit.
• 35:56
  I really like it. So not much more to say there.
• 36:00
  He has a cool little bio, again, the BIOS for the tribute figures
• 36:05
  or whatever, they don't really count as such in terms of the
• 36:11
  story, but still cool. So, and you see, you know, a bit
• 36:17
  like Theranog, he's a good orc, you know, the power to absorb
• 36:21
  and redirect plant life around him.
• 36:25
  He's serves as a shining example for bringing peace and order to
• 36:30
  the land. Sounds like we could need more
• 36:33
  of him around these days. Or it sounds like he's pushing
• 36:36
  the plant life into the battle and staying safe himself behind
• 36:40
  a tree, just pushing everything else out.
• 36:42
  Or maybe he's it's the type of plant life that it is a rolling
• 36:48
  pipes. Yeah, but I fight.
• 36:51
  It's trying to save said plant life.
• 36:55
  Right, that brings us on to the elf.
• 36:59
  Another tricky one. Maybe tricky because if you
• 37:02
  don't like elves, that's tricky. Or there isn't that many elves.
• 37:07
  There are. There is good and bad elves, so
• 37:10
  there's shadow elves as well. What do you got now?
• 37:14
  So yeah, hi, elves aren't one of my favourites had I just I don't
• 37:18
  actually own many elves. They are one that I tend to
• 37:21
  avoid. I, I don't, and I've said before
• 37:31
  it's that Tolkien style elf that people do, of the thin hair, you
• 37:36
  know, blonde haired or pale that I'm not very keen on.
• 37:42
  I do really. I, I didn't go with Lord
• 37:48
  Bardrick because I actually do really like him, but I've got a
• 37:51
  feeling someone else here might go with him.
• 37:54
  And I will say, moving forward, I think Neve will become my
• 37:57
  favorite elf. As it is, yeah.
• 38:00
  Yeah, as it is I've gone with shadow Elf Ranger because I
• 38:06
  didn't get him for the longest time, but the minute I got those
• 38:08
  shadow elves in hand, I love the colours and the fact they're
• 38:13
  like more of a dark elf, but they are a dark elf actually
• 38:16
  makes them a bit cooler than the the normal namby pamby girly
• 38:19
  elves, you know? Yeah, I mean, if you're into,
• 38:26
  you know, DND at all or you know, the the Dritz stories and
• 38:32
  that kind of stuff, he's a he's a dark elf.
• 38:35
  So the shadow elves definitely give more of that kind of vibe
• 38:39
  and I suppose hint towards that type of a character type as
• 38:44
  opposed to, you know, the goody goody elves that you're not so
• 38:48
  interested in. So yeah, that's a good show.
• 38:51
  Probably probably the best of the Dark Elves maybe, unless
• 38:55
  rich as a. No, we've doubled up for the
• 38:58
  first time. Mine is a Ranger as well, so for
• 39:01
  the exact same reasons Mal was talking about.
• 39:03
  I mean I love the dark elves in Warhammer.
• 39:05
  We're always my favorite, so evil elves are always going to
• 39:08
  draw me in. And the the shadow elf Ranger,
• 39:11
  just Malachi is probably my favorite elf.
• 39:14
  But the the Rangers, the Rangers of like the representation of
• 39:18
  one elf should be, you know, the long hair or the hood, you know,
• 39:22
  the bow, all that sort of stuff. So.
• 39:23
  And again, the Dark Elves are better so.
• 39:26
  Yeah, yeah. We also have Manisha syndrome
• 39:30
  coming soon as well. We do.
• 39:31
  Or not? She's very good.
• 39:32
  Yeah, Yeah. Yeah.
• 39:34
  This year still, yeah, I went for Lord Bardrick.
• 39:38
  Yeah, he's one of my favorite figures in the line since he was
• 39:42
  revealed. I think he still holds up and
• 39:47
  he's a 1.0 well, which, you know, maybe goes against the
• 39:52
  stereotype like Mal was saying of the kind of thing of.
• 39:55
  But yeah, I prefer they've definitely managed to nail the
• 40:01
  look for him and he looks great. Head sculpt is great.
• 40:05
  The figure design is great with the the.
• 40:09
  Was a new torso at that point in time in the line, the Lithia
• 40:12
  wave was that torso plug with the kind of leathery squares.
• 40:20
  So yeah, he's just a cool, cool character.
• 40:26
  He's also Lord of the fabled Harvest course, so he has his
• 40:30
  own kind of gig going on within the flock, and it's a Mystic
• 40:37
  mystical gathering of ancient warriors dedicating to protect
• 40:41
  the lands of Zeilona. So yeah.
• 40:45
  And he's good with an axe, so. Sounds like you'd make a good
• 40:50
  mini wave by itself it. Does actually, doesn't it?
• 40:52
  Yeah. Or part of a wave maybe.
• 40:55
  You know, if you were to kind of theme a wave again.
• 41:00
  All right, Mal, we've come up to Rich's favorite faction, or at
• 41:05
  least favorite character type this.
• 41:08
  Is where I do Mal, so my 12th favorite is my 11th favorite.
• 41:12
  I will. Let's see if we can.
• 41:14
  Get some off the list from here straight up.
• 41:17
  This, this one is quite a tough one because I do, I do like
• 41:20
  vampires and I think they've got a few cool characters in the,
• 41:25
  in, in the brood. But I went with Vogue because I
• 41:30
  like that little vicious. He doesn't have to be little.
• 41:33
  If he was big, it'd be cool as well.
• 41:35
  But that idea that he's a bit more animalistic and you know,
• 41:38
  and he's sort of, yeah, could RIP people apart.
• 41:44
  And he almost gives off the flying monkeys from Wizdevas
• 41:49
  vibes I think. He does, doesn't he?
• 41:50
  Yeah, yeah, I really like that. I really like that.
• 41:53
  Yeah, I always imagined Virg. Now kind of, you know, the arms
• 41:57
  out wide and the kind of legs kind of, you know, like an X you
• 42:01
  know, this like, that's about going to land on you.
• 42:03
  Yeah. I thought you can say he's got
• 42:07
  his own exercise video for a second there, John.
• 42:09
  Yeah, Mr. Motivator, Vardstyle. Cool, cool.
• 42:16
  Shall I? It's seen as this is your
• 42:17
  favorite, Rich. I'm going to go.
• 42:19
  Yep. And next for this one, I went
• 42:21
  for Valak because I love this character's design.
• 42:27
  I almost see him as the kind of evil Lord Bardrick in the design
• 42:33
  way. You know, he's got similar parts
• 42:35
  used, but it's all obviously in the black and purples of the fun
• 42:42
  perfection. He's got that great little scarf
• 42:44
  piece, plus the hood and amazing head sculpt.
• 42:50
  He's got the cinder, the bird on the arm.
• 42:54
  That was the first time we'd seen that as well.
• 42:56
  And he has a cool role in the, in the brood of being the kind
• 43:01
  of the scout that goes ahead and, you know, uses his bird
• 43:07
  Cinder to kind of spy and see what's going on up ahead.
• 43:13
  A bit like that guy in Game of Thrones, remember?
• 43:15
  Was it Mackenzie Crook played him?
• 43:19
  Oh yeah, the was it Wag? Was it called?
• 43:22
  Yeah, Wag. Yeah, exactly.
• 43:23
  Yeah. Or warg, whatever.
• 43:25
  Or. Something like that, Yeah, one
• 43:26
  of the rings I like mispronounced it, but yeah,
• 43:28
  yeah. So yeah, he did the whole eyes
• 43:31
  thing and these eyes go into the animal or whatever, and he had a
• 43:34
  bird. So I just love that whole kind
• 43:37
  of thing with with relax. So yeah, that's my vote.
• 43:41
  Both really cool choices, gents. Umm, as I've said many times on
• 43:44
  this, No, no, as I said many times on this show, my favorite
• 43:47
  vampire is the Vampire Night. But to avoid repeating all the
• 43:52
  same stuff about him, I've gone from my favorite vampire
• 43:54
  representation, and that is Baron Boligar too.
• 44:00
  Right. Cool.
• 44:01
  Love this guy. Like the ornate armour in my
• 44:04
  mind, like a vampire that's that old will have a matched really,
• 44:07
  really fancy armour. So the innate armour that he's
• 44:10
  got really fits in with that sort of, you know, that view and
• 44:14
  the cloak, you know, again, it's just like, you know, I've been
• 44:16
  around a long time. I look really imposed and really
• 44:19
  fancy when I come along. I'm intrigued by the scarred
• 44:23
  head. It's like he's a vampire.
• 44:25
  So who what the hell happened to him that the scar is still there
• 44:28
  and hasn't healed and that sort of stuff.
• 44:29
  So I mean, really intrigued by that combination of the two BIOS
• 44:34
  because obviously he's got both. But, you know, he was the first
• 44:37
  born vampire, which when I was reading that through again
• 44:41
  today, I was like, no, so Lithia just wasn't just interested in
• 44:44
  conquering then, she was interested in other stuff as
• 44:45
  well. Saw an outfit she liked, Boom,
• 44:49
  there we go. But I also like the fact he's
• 44:53
  got no interest in leading himself.
• 44:55
  It's just like, no, I'll train Lucretia up and then I'm out of
• 44:59
  it. That sings to me somehow.
• 45:01
  I don't know why. It's like, yeah, you know.
• 45:03
  Maybe it's to do with the scar? Yeah, maybe.
• 45:06
  Oh, harsh, funny, but hard. And he wants his mum back, so,
• 45:17
  you know, he's a bloodthirsty vampire.
• 45:19
  He's got a bit of a kind sweet spot.
• 45:21
  He wants his mummy back. So yeah, there we go.
• 45:25
  Or is this homelander from the Boys?
• 45:28
  Oh, no, no, no, no. All right.
• 45:33
  That's a great choice as well, though.
• 45:35
  Yeah, it's good. And some unique parts that
• 45:37
  haven't been used again. Baron Vulgar, too.
• 45:43
  It's got a unique torso. I think those pauldrons haven't
• 45:45
  been used again, certainly not in the figure we have in hand.
• 45:51
  So. But they haven't revisited The
• 45:52
  Vamps in a while, have they? I mean, maybe you should.
• 45:55
  Start listening for Horseman. Yeah, you should start a
• 45:58
  campaign, Rich. It might be time.
• 46:01
  I'll see I could get I could get AT shirt with my own face on it
• 46:03
  with me holding up a little black card going Where are The
• 46:05
  Vamps? So I get my own face on it, but
• 46:07
  I also try and get. As we're going back to, you
• 46:11
  know, what is it the kind of start of mythos again or
• 46:16
  whatever, Whatever way the story is going, there has to be some
• 46:19
  vampires somewhere knocking around.
• 46:22
  You know they don't die as such, right?
• 46:26
  Ogres and this was an interesting one.
• 46:31
  What did you go for, Mel? This was tougher than I
• 46:33
  expected, but I I went with. It's a bit of a cheese to 1 I
• 46:41
  suppose, but I went with the noble barge as in the set stuck
• 46:46
  on whatever, but I think that's. That's official figure, yeah.
• 46:51
  Half giant is effectively an ogre, isn't it?
• 46:53
  Sort of thing. Yeah, I just meant the fact that
• 46:56
  I've gone more with the the set rather than the actual figure.
• 46:59
  But I just think he looks so cool with all the, you know, all
• 47:02
  the gear on and the big shield and just definitely.
• 47:05
  The figure for the shield or for the for the figure for the
• 47:08
  accessory set. Sorry.
• 47:10
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I say I don't display the
• 47:13
  builder, just play him. So yeah.
• 47:18
  Yeah, I mean, that's a cool we had.
• 47:21
  We had the first ogre wave where we got the the other kind of
• 47:26
  human skinned over. What was he called again?
• 47:30
  Although the tower. Both.
• 47:32
  Both are the tower. That's what I would actually
• 47:34
  really. Like but I don't have him and he
• 47:36
  doesn't pop up very often so. No, I've, I've got him, but
• 47:41
  mine's got a broken leg, not like splintered.
• 47:44
  It's not an accident during, you know, in his character sort of
• 47:46
  thing. But the yeah, I bought 1 where
• 47:48
  the, the guy had broken the knee.
• 47:50
  So it's, it's fixed it. Well, but that knee is not
• 47:52
  bending. So yeah, even for my poses, he's
• 47:56
  very good. Like, yeah, he's station.
• 47:57
  Cramp. He's got German and Cramp.
• 47:59
  Yeah. OK, Rich, what have you got for
• 48:06
  Ogre? Argomedes for me.
• 48:09
  Right. He's a cyclops.
• 48:11
  I love the cyclops gives me real sort of Harry housing vibes as
• 48:15
  well. I think probably the colour
• 48:17
  scheme and everything that they went with that it really gives
• 48:20
  that really cool little helmet too that pops on that works well
• 48:24
  if you slice it up and use other things as well.
• 48:26
  I found. And then bio wise is like, you
• 48:29
  know, master Craftsman with a key knife for decent and
• 48:31
  precision. These giant tinkerers consider
• 48:34
  it the highest honor to fashion the weapons of war for the
• 48:36
  armies of mythos, which again, I like because it's not just the
• 48:38
  evil armies. They, you know, it's like, who's
• 48:41
  going to pay me the most? Yes.
• 48:43
  Independent weapons maker, Yeah. Yes yeah, and we support the
• 48:48
  independent weapons makers you know it's but then I also like
• 48:53
  the business buyer. But the true secret behind
• 48:55
  Algomedes mastery of the forge comes from the experience he has
• 48:58
  gained wielding his own creations in battle.
• 49:00
  So again, this is not a guy that just sits behind everything he
• 49:03
  gets stuck in and does The Dirty work as well so.
• 49:06
  No, he'd want to get his finger out and design a few more ogre
• 49:09
  weapons. He would yes, they are lacking
• 49:13
  somewhat. And he's my pick as well.
• 49:17
  I just think he's he's unique in the in the ogres and I think
• 49:22
  he's what I might imagine more when I think of an ogre.
• 49:27
  Or at least he fits the name Ogre better maybe than some of
• 49:32
  the other figures. I think Kurzog is close because
• 49:40
  he's kind of green, cool, but also got a lot of detail in the
• 49:45
  sculpt and the kind of unique design.
• 49:48
  But yeah, I think arguably this takes it for me.
• 49:52
  It's funny isn't it? Because I I took this as ogre
• 49:54
  scale rather than actual ogre, so I was expecting people to
• 49:59
  pick Araka Gore and. He could have picked.
• 50:04
  That's why I yeah, I could. Go with him or you know.
• 50:09
  Yeah, you could definitely pick on the scale.
• 50:12
  So yeah, I also like what's his. Name in the vampires?
• 50:18
  Oh yeah. He was.
• 50:22
  He was just. Get some special mentions in.
• 50:29
  Right, slightly smaller category here, Trolls, and we're not
• 50:32
  talking about the guys in the cabal.
• 50:37
  Unfortunately that's quite a big category at the moment.
• 50:41
  Feels like. Right, what we got now.
• 50:46
  Kind of another tough one, isn't it, Because it is kind of what
• 50:49
  colour is your favorite colour and what faces your favorite
• 50:53
  colour? Yeah.
• 50:55
  Although some of them with the heads packs you could really
• 50:58
  make any. Yeah.
• 51:00
  So I went with the forest troll to the first one I ever got and
• 51:04
  still my favorite the forest troll 2.0 and I love him with
• 51:07
  the bearded head because I feel like I imagine that.
• 51:11
  Yeah, he's a bit more like. He's he's stood with Bryophytus
• 51:14
  in my display, and that feels right.
• 51:17
  They feel similar, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 51:23
  Love it, rich. I went with Brontus version 2.
• 51:29
  I mean, it's basically the same thing, but I used the second
• 51:32
  head for something else in my display.
• 51:33
  So that's what I've gone for that one again, a cyclops.
• 51:37
  I love the colours. As mouth said, it does go a lot,
• 51:38
  come down a lot to colours. But I do love, do love that
• 51:41
  orange and the blue eye. And he's an intelligent troll.
• 51:46
  You know, he's a general in the army and and you know, it's a
• 51:49
  sad violin time sort of thing, but you know, he carries the
• 51:53
  skull of an ally of his as a part of his weapon to remind
• 51:56
  himself what it takes to survive in the savage and cruel world.
• 52:01
  It's a very dramatic line, but you know, it's.
• 52:04
  I'm not sure. The one, yeah, The ones that
• 52:06
  grow with intelligence, isn't he?
• 52:08
  Yeah, he is at the moment. Yeah, I go for the ice troll and
• 52:13
  again, the that's my favorite troll head, I think the one that
• 52:17
  came originally with the ice troll.
• 52:19
  And yeah, he can freeze a man with his icy breath.
• 52:22
  So, you know, they've done the fiery breath.
• 52:26
  Where's the icy breath? Interestingly, the the one that
• 52:32
  isn't associated with anyone, Yeah, whilst Rich picked the one
• 52:37
  associated with the noble bear interest.
• 52:43
  It's going to change my mind now.
• 52:46
  I forgot I. Forgot icy breath coming off a
• 52:49
  troll just look like halitosis though.
• 52:51
  Like a dragon. You expect that with a troll?
• 52:54
  You just like, whoa, no, no. And yeah, maybe it needs to be
• 52:58
  more. Yeah, it probably isn't going to
• 53:01
  be that directional like the fire.
• 53:02
  It's going to be just more of a foggy cloud coming out from the
• 53:07
  from the troll as he kind of. But a screaming head sculpts for
• 53:10
  the trolls would be cool. Oh yeah, sort of snarly.
• 53:14
  Wouldn't that that would really up the game.
• 53:17
  So a future heads pack and. No, yeah, I'm not.
• 53:21
  I'm not sure even. Sorry.
• 53:22
  I was just thinking of the third party sort of things.
• 53:24
  I'm not sure anyone's actually sculpted one with a screaming
• 53:26
  head. There's loads of troll heads out
• 53:28
  there. I don't recall one that's got a
• 53:30
  big old scream on it. No, they're all quite neutral,
• 53:33
  aren't they? Maybe that's to do with the way
• 53:35
  they're designed. Maybe you won't be able to angle
• 53:38
  the screaming head properly, like kind of back or whatever, I
• 53:41
  don't know, but I'm sure. He could be screaming, he could
• 53:43
  be screaming sorry, he could be screaming to.
• 53:46
  That he's screaming, Yeah. Screaming to the heavens.
• 53:49
  Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah.
• 53:52
  Or screaming to his toes. Oh, you could do that.
• 53:57
  You have him looking down, screaming at his toes and then
• 53:59
  just a little piece of Lego right next to him on the on the
• 54:02
  shelf. Or, or near me out here.
• 54:08
  Where's he gone? The rat.
• 54:11
  Yeah, scared of the rat, Yeah. Yeah, terrified of the rat.
• 54:17
  It's true. As someone I think speaking to
• 54:19
  Detour Customs on Instagram, on our Instagram the other day,
• 54:23
  Stefan and he's claiming that Splinter from TMNT is now in,
• 54:30
  He's now in the line somewhere. Why not?
• 54:35
  It's a bit of a stretch, but yeah, yeah, go for it.
• 54:40
  Radio. More difficult category to pick
• 54:44
  from here. Now Goblins.
• 54:46
  A lot of choice here. Lots.
• 54:47
  Of these Oh yeah. And a lot of them are very, very
• 54:50
  cool, but. Yeah, and they all have very
• 54:55
  unique kind of character traits. Or even BIOS and.
• 54:59
  Fun BIOS, yeah. I've settled on, though, the one
• 55:04
  who I think is my favorite and the Gone with Snag.
• 55:07
  And it's that face, isn't it? That and well, it's a mixture of
• 55:11
  that face and I've got him basic.
• 55:14
  I love this idea that he can't help but what, you know, steal
• 55:18
  something. And so he's all loaded up with
• 55:22
  all this stuff and he just can't help himself.
• 55:24
  And again, he gives a bit of a sense of humour to the
• 55:28
  character. Yeah, that was a that was a cool
• 55:31
  thing for me at the, you know, he was in the Advent order that
• 55:36
  I ordered first. Now I got them probably after I
• 55:40
  got other mythics, but it was still all the, you know, the
• 55:44
  little baggie of weapons that you got that where he's kind of
• 55:47
  bounty that like some of them are just unrelated to him.
• 55:50
  It's just me one or, you know, 1 the antler attachment and 1 you
• 55:57
  know, so such a fun. And that kind of is like, Oh
• 56:00
  yeah, this is kind of cool. There's a lot of thought gone
• 56:03
  into this. It's kind of, you know, some
• 56:05
  mismatched stuff, nothing symmetrical.
• 56:07
  It's really. Cool.
• 56:08
  I love him. I think he's great.
• 56:11
  He's great. Yeah, he's he's right up there
• 56:14
  for me. But I I guess someone might pick
• 56:17
  him. So I went a different direction.
• 56:19
  Rich. King nodling for me.
• 56:23
  This guy's my favorite goblin. I love him.
• 56:26
  It's to me, this is what an upstart gobbo should be sort of
• 56:30
  thing. So you know, he thinks he's
• 56:31
  better than he is. Doesn't matter if he's king.
• 56:33
  It's it's Gobblins at the end of the day, but he's got that
• 56:36
  proper evil little grin. It's, it's such a good little,
• 56:39
  you know, like. He sort of, yeah.
• 56:42
  Brilliant. You know, he's got the pompous
• 56:44
  gold armour, he's got the staff that's like 6 times his height
• 56:48
  and that sort of stuff. It's just that ridiculousness
• 56:50
  that I'd want with the goblin sort of thing.
• 56:53
  So I love him. Again, another bland bio.
• 56:56
  I'll be honest. It talks about the goblins and
• 56:58
  the dwarves and them living under the mountain but need an
• 57:00
  update there. But a brilliant figure.
• 57:03
  I absolutely love Noblin. I I absolutely love the the
• 57:09
  photo the photo on on his bio where he's pacing across in
• 57:13
  front of the other two goblins. I just have visions of him like
• 57:17
  pacing back and forwards, like muttering away to himself trying
• 57:21
  to work out what to do after some plans failed or something
• 57:25
  like that and I love it. Find that again.
• 57:31
  I went for slightly different direction for Bob Goblin.
• 57:38
  Good one, yeah. Goblin, not the Hellfire goblin.
• 57:41
  Interesting. Yeah, yeah, he was.
• 57:44
  Bob Goblin was another one of those that I was really keen to
• 57:47
  get when I originally got into the line.
• 57:51
  Very unique head sculpt. Now we did get it in the in the
• 57:54
  Hellfire Goblin as well, so, you know, it's a bit easier to get
• 58:00
  now. And we got in the heads back
• 58:02
  with the open mouth, which is cool.
• 58:05
  But the original Bob Goblin, it's just great kind of cool
• 58:10
  design on a dwarf body, which I guess when I saw it first I
• 58:13
  wouldn't have really paid too much attention to.
• 58:17
  But yeah, and that kind of glossy, slimy finish on the head
• 58:23
  is just perfect for this character and great, very
• 58:26
  detailed paint app on on the bug up and said.
• 58:29
  And even the armor is all rusty and stuff that kind of gives the
• 58:35
  impression that he's been around in the swamp.
• 58:39
  You know, it's a filthy breed that is willing, most willing to
• 58:43
  serve in the army of the dark forces, armed with the ability
• 58:48
  to vomit a hot and sticky black bile at their enemies.
• 58:53
  Bug goblins are feared even by the bravest warrior.
• 58:56
  And I think that with the Hellfire government, you got
• 58:58
  that they they spit some sort of fiery stuff or some sort of
• 59:03
  other liquid. So, yeah.
• 59:06
  And I like the bug goblin, I was very happy when he came up in
• 59:10
  All Stars too, shortly after I got into the line.
• 59:15
  So it's a good one, right? Very difficult category coming
• 59:20
  up the skeletons. So yeah, it was.
• 59:26
  Now we've got the new skeletons. This is a tough one.
• 59:29
  I think previously it might have been a bit easier for me, but
• 59:34
  I've gone with Tupeculi it. Good choice.
• 59:39
  Yeah, it's just fun, isn't there?
• 59:41
  I mean it's. I went for that as well.
• 59:45
  Yeah, cool bio, awesome figure. The fact you can do so many
• 59:48
  different setups with it and any of them could be right, you
• 59:52
  know, Really. Yeah, He's he's awesome.
• 59:58
  Yeah, I tell. You know, I didn't want to put
• 1:00:00
  in another future once I could have put in Thoracis, but I
• 1:00:04
  think. Turpicula is just the ultimate
• 1:00:07
  skeleton figure right now. It just has everything going,
• 1:00:13
  you know? If he's still available at a
• 1:00:14
  retailer, you'd be tempted to pick another one up, you know,
• 1:00:19
  Right, Rich? That's me and Mal Tubercula.
• 1:00:21
  What you got? So despite all the cool new
• 1:00:23
  ones, I've actually gone for one of the old ones.
• 1:00:25
  So I have gone for Mali, that's really Boric.
• 1:00:28
  I've gone for Morglis. Yeah, I love more.
• 1:00:35
  Who's? Due an update.
• 1:00:38
  Sorry, say again. She's due an update I think.
• 1:00:40
  She is absolutely yes. But to me, again, this is like a
• 1:00:44
  really good representation of a skeleton.
• 1:00:46
  So when I think of like skeletons as like, you know,
• 1:00:49
  long dead civilizations rising up again.
• 1:00:52
  So with that, that massive headdress she's got that, you
• 1:00:55
  know, looks like a priestess from a long dead civilization.
• 1:00:58
  So I'm you know, that really works for me in terms of that.
• 1:01:01
  I think she's on the first ones with bare feet as well.
• 1:01:03
  I know the other the 2, the skelly builder two had them as
• 1:01:07
  well. 2.0 had them, but I love the skeleton bare feet just adds
• 1:01:10
  a level of creepiness the way more so than the the 1.0 bare
• 1:01:16
  feet. They're like bare feet, whereas
• 1:01:17
  the little ones just like no creepy, creepy feet.
• 1:01:22
  You're. Learning something about rich
• 1:01:24
  listeners. The bio as well, and that's part
• 1:01:29
  of what I've enjoyed about doing this.
• 1:01:30
  Actually, she's going through some of these BIOS again, she
• 1:01:32
  rules with a resigned coldness, which I like to think is how I
• 1:01:35
  manage at work. That's a joke.
• 1:01:42
  I I I don't imagine that. Even if you don't, that's the
• 1:01:46
  yeah. And I love the fact that she's
• 1:01:50
  got the ability through the eyes of her soldiers as well, so she
• 1:01:53
  can almost like organise what's happening because she can see
• 1:01:55
  through their eyes. Which is both creepy but very
• 1:01:57
  cool. So what does someone with
• 1:02:00
  resigned cold and a stalk like? Is it kind of monotone?
• 1:02:04
  Is it? Yes, it'd be monitored.
• 1:02:05
  It'd be monotone. Monotone but vicious.
• 1:02:09
  Yeah. Yeah, OK.
• 1:02:12
  They'll be talking to you in a monotone way while they are
• 1:02:15
  breaking your phone in half in front of them.
• 1:02:17
  That sort of stuff, you know? Or while just leaving boxes of
• 1:02:22
  stuff, you know, for you to go through, you know, to kind of do
• 1:02:27
  whatever bullshit they want you to do.
• 1:02:29
  Yeah, you've done really well this year, but we do have to
• 1:02:31
  make cuts. Here's the box by that sort of
• 1:02:35
  thing, you know? Oh, OK, a skeleton that was.
• 1:02:41
  That was easy enough in the end. Demon.
• 1:02:44
  Here's a good one. What you got for Demon it?
• 1:02:49
  Might have been considered cheating, but I have gone with
• 1:02:52
  the idea that a gin is a demon, so I have gone with Callazir.
• 1:02:59
  OK, awesome figure Genies are just cool or gin are just very.
• 1:03:07
  A very cool idea, very cool sort of mythological creatures.
• 1:03:13
  Yeah, just. Big guy as.
• 1:03:17
  Well, big guy, Yeah, another brute scale one.
• 1:03:18
  And the brute scale really has brought something new and cool
• 1:03:23
  to the figures. I mean, we talked about Ganesha
• 1:03:26
  earlier. I think he's brute scaliness
• 1:03:28
  adds to how cool he is. And yeah.
• 1:03:31
  Yeah. I think down the line when we do
• 1:03:33
  this again at another point, there might be a brute scale
• 1:03:36
  category. There's more of those to choose
• 1:03:39
  from, yeah. I'm really looking forward to
• 1:03:41
  colours here as well because they said they were going to do.
• 1:03:44
  Is it Johannam, the other gin who's got the smoke trail?
• 1:03:48
  They said they said they're going to do that for calories
• 1:03:50
  over the different cars. I'm really looking forward to.
• 1:03:52
  Getting Yeah, that's right. You can get that as a maybe some
• 1:03:55
  sort of an accessory pack, right.
• 1:03:59
  Rich, what did you demon up? One of my all time favorite
• 1:04:03
  figures is Belfigal. Yeah, great choice.
• 1:04:07
  I love this guy. He's just this is what a demon
• 1:04:10
  is. This is if you know, if you ask
• 1:04:11
  most people to draw a demon, it would be parts of this that
• 1:04:14
  would be strongly in there is red.
• 1:04:17
  Red always looks really good for a nasty demon.
• 1:04:19
  He's got a giant melon of a head.
• 1:04:21
  He doesn't want a demon with a giant melon of a head.
• 1:04:24
  It's massive. The horns are massive.
• 1:04:25
  It's like, you know, it's what you want to say.
• 1:04:28
  He's a native. Now the the bio said native of
• 1:04:32
  the prison realm. Now I want to know is, is that a
• 1:04:34
  realm that's just a prison, or is it just the realm they were
• 1:04:38
  imprisoned with it? I'll have to ask Eric.
• 1:04:40
  Maybe that at some point Even so.
• 1:04:43
  Place. If it's the former, can we have
• 1:04:45
  the play set please? Yes, absolutely yes.
• 1:04:50
  And we're coming. Put the cabal trolls in a mocked
• 1:04:53
  up version at Legions concert. Just sit in the corner of the
• 1:04:56
  way. Little portal to put them into.
• 1:05:00
  Yeah, he can tear portals into in the fabric of reality.
• 1:05:03
  I mean, you'd want to say how come it's taken so long to get
• 1:05:05
  back? So we can do that.
• 1:05:06
  But that's a minor nitpick. If I was a, you know, a resigned
• 1:05:09
  coldness manager giving him an interview, you'd be like, dude,
• 1:05:13
  seriously, it took a bit long. And I also love the fact he's
• 1:05:17
  got a few de Corgo. So he's not just turned up.
• 1:05:19
  He's like, he's turned up and it's immediately the right beef.
• 1:05:22
  There's beef between us, dude. Here we go.
• 1:05:26
  Yeah, I can't see that ending well for anybody really.
• 1:05:28
  No, someone. Someone's going to die horribly.
• 1:05:30
  I'm not sure which one of them it'll be, but someone will die
• 1:05:32
  horribly on that. Yeah, actually, is Gorgo a
• 1:05:35
  demon? We don't know anyway.
• 1:05:38
  We don't know. Yeah, he's.
• 1:05:40
  Something though, and. He could have fit in the night
• 1:05:42
  category and obviously, yeah, I went with Aaron Tear.
• 1:05:48
  So a bit kind of obvious, but he's a demon.
• 1:05:53
  Good one. Love him.
• 1:05:55
  Great figure. Some unique parts.
• 1:05:58
  Maybe not as fancy fancy as some of the later Dark fours, but I
• 1:06:03
  think still quite a fancy figure.
• 1:06:07
  Quite a lot of unique parts with the armor and stuff and.
• 1:06:13
  The muscle doesn't he though of the Dark 4, which I think he's
• 1:06:17
  what he's meant to do, isn't he's meant to be the big beefy.
• 1:06:20
  I'll rip your head off. Yeah, if we ever got a reissue,
• 1:06:23
  I'd like it in brute scale, I think.
• 1:06:24
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 1:06:27
  Yeah. Or even just the brute scale
• 1:06:29
  torsos and you can have these weedy little legs.
• 1:06:35
  Make him just look. Just look.
• 1:06:38
  The guy that skipped leg day. It would make him look scarier,
• 1:06:50
  right? One of my favorite character
• 1:06:53
  categories here. Magic user.
• 1:06:56
  What? We got their mouth.
• 1:06:58
  So I had to stick with me old favorite.
• 1:07:02
  In some ways she's one of the worst figures, but she looks
• 1:07:05
  amazing. And that's Harry Serpent Spire
• 1:07:10
  again, another awesome bio. She's a badass.
• 1:07:16
  Basically she's, you know, super tied in with the origin of the
• 1:07:21
  the convocation of Basilia. Yeah.
• 1:07:26
  And as I say, whilst being one of the worst figures also to
• 1:07:30
  look at so. Explain that.
• 1:07:31
  Explain that. Because explain why she's so
• 1:07:34
  practicality. Yeah, she's got tiny little
• 1:07:37
  hands that don't hold her, her staff.
• 1:07:40
  So her staff spends a lot of time falling out of her hand.
• 1:07:43
  And the problem is because the staff is so thick, it's also now
• 1:07:46
  stretched her hand that it will never seem to go back.
• 1:07:49
  She's also a 2.0 who are they historically have and she's one
• 1:07:55
  of the old ones. They have the worst ankles
• 1:07:58
  because she's got this beautiful headdress that's really heavy.
• 1:08:02
  Her little ankles don't like to stand up as.
• 1:08:05
  Good as the headdress is, it's not something it's going to go
• 1:08:08
  with his ankles. So he's just like Bing, Bing,
• 1:08:11
  Yeah. Yeah, so she looks beautiful,
• 1:08:13
  but damn, she does not like to stand up on her shelf.
• 1:08:17
  Yeah, she might. Weapon, she might if she was
• 1:08:21
  released these days, a lot better.
• 1:08:23
  She might have had a few more revisions at the factory.
• 1:08:28
  Yeah, I have my hair in A4 horsemen stand.
• 1:08:31
  I think that's the only way to ease your pain on her in that
• 1:08:36
  Right Rich, what you got? Arizac, which surprised me
• 1:08:39
  slightly when was coming out. It's like another 2.0 Wizards.
• 1:08:43
  It's like now. Not bothered, but actually this
• 1:08:45
  guy is brilliant. He's got just that, the perfect
• 1:08:50
  evil wizard look, especially with the screaming head.
• 1:08:52
  I mean, the other head's good, but the screaming head just
• 1:08:55
  gives it so much personality. Sure does.
• 1:08:59
  Yeah. And the fact these two points
• 1:09:01
  are because he, because he's so old and we discussed last time
• 1:09:03
  that he might be very, very old for all we know.
• 1:09:07
  You know that work, that sort of size thing works there.
• 1:09:09
  And the awesome chess piece piece, it's just, it's just
• 1:09:13
  really good. Just ties it all in really well.
• 1:09:17
  And again, the bio you know is a cruel and devious sorcerer bent
• 1:09:20
  on prom, promulgating the world of word epoxys and constantly
• 1:09:27
  thirsting for more knowledge, more spells, and more power.
• 1:09:30
  I mean, that's what you want from an evil wizard, isn't it?
• 1:09:32
  It's never happy. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 1:09:34
  He's like a like a modern day billionaire basically.
• 1:09:38
  Yes. You know, constantly looking for
• 1:09:44
  more, more, more, more, even though they have plenty.
• 1:09:47
  And I went for Balaam. Classic.
• 1:09:52
  Yeah. Ancient magic coursing through
• 1:09:57
  his veins. And he can speak to animals and
• 1:10:01
  harness the powers of animals. I mean, what more do you want,
• 1:10:05
  you know? And he he has been instrumental
• 1:10:13
  in building the ever growing mystical force that emanates
• 1:10:16
  from a magical stronghold atop the Evergreen Mountains.
• 1:10:20
  So we ever heard of what that's about or?
• 1:10:24
  We haven't actually know. So that would be something fun
• 1:10:28
  to find out and a great figure love their armor and head sculpt
• 1:10:34
  is great. You know, could certainly be
• 1:10:40
  released in legacies or the updated version that would be
• 1:10:43
  even more cool because you could use soft goods and maybe some
• 1:10:47
  updated armor but. Different head sculpt.
• 1:10:50
  Yeah, maybe. Yeah.
• 1:10:53
  You know cat hands as opposed to gloved hands.
• 1:10:57
  You know cat feet as opposed to. Sorry, I'm laughing.
• 1:11:00
  I just immediately had jazz hands in my head.
• 1:11:02
  Then when you said that, I don't know why.
• 1:11:04
  Very jazz hands, everybody. Yeah, I suppose cats have cats
• 1:11:09
  have paws, don't they? On the top hat, so you could
• 1:11:13
  pull a rabbit out the top hat. I mean, he's not that sort of
• 1:11:16
  magician, but that would be cool as well.
• 1:11:18
  Sorry I've gone off track. I apologize.
• 1:11:19
  To do little so you'd have all sorts of animals.
• 1:11:22
  He would, wouldn't he? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:26
  Right. Favorite female.
• 1:11:30
  We're not talking about Kelly Brook here.
• 1:11:31
  Or anyone. I went with the beauty be I kind
• 1:11:37
  of beautiful. Beautiful.
• 1:11:40
  Yeah. I don't know why I haven't been.
• 1:11:41
  Able to say before this evening, so I'm happy I've also gone for
• 1:11:46
  her as well, yeah. Oh, you have.
• 1:11:47
  Wow. Amazing figure.
• 1:11:50
  Yeah. So tell us, tell us what?
• 1:11:53
  Why her above the others then? Oh, it's got lots of females in
• 1:11:57
  the minds. Oh, you got my you started.
• 1:12:01
  I think I love the head sculpt I've I've gone with the one
• 1:12:07
  without the nose just because it's a bit gruesome.
• 1:12:09
  A bit different because she's a bit pretty with the nose in a
• 1:12:13
  weird way. Comes all kitted out with
• 1:12:18
  different undead animals to the fact that she's a beastmaster,
• 1:12:22
  so got kind of that Valak call to her as well.
• 1:12:26
  Beastmasters are always a fun character type and trope, aren't
• 1:12:30
  they in the in? The fantasy, yeah.
• 1:12:33
  Absolutely, yeah. So I suppose in some respects
• 1:12:36
  it's actually partly due to the to the accessories.
• 1:12:40
  But again, that head sculpt is probably one of the he's he's,
• 1:12:44
  he's an awesome head sculpt. So yeah.
• 1:12:48
  New Ridge. Similar sort of things that head
• 1:12:50
  sculpt, particularly the one without the nose is just a a
• 1:12:54
  work of art. It's it's amazing and looks
• 1:12:56
  really good and I think it works really well with the blue skin
• 1:12:58
  tone as well. I think the combination of the
• 1:13:00
  two work really well together. But similar to Mal, I think the
• 1:13:03
  the addition of all the skeletal animals, I think definitely
• 1:13:06
  bumps her up in my in my ranking, you know, like the
• 1:13:10
  chimera is amazing, but the snake in the cage is amazing.
• 1:13:13
  The bird, you know, there's just so much cool stuff.
• 1:13:15
  The baby Unicorn skull, it's just like.
• 1:13:19
  That snake in the cage is a little bit of I don't think
• 1:13:22
  enough has been said about what a little bit of it awesome
• 1:13:24
  engineering has gone on there. It you know, the way it fits in
• 1:13:28
  the back, it balance perfectly. It doesn't.
• 1:13:32
  It doesn't pull her backwards either.
• 1:13:34
  The way it's been done, it's really, really good.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah, and her bio talks about her being in charge of other
• 1:13:42
  unnatural monsters that haven't been seen as well.
• 1:13:44
  So we've got the tuberculine, we've got the ones that come
• 1:13:47
  with her, who opens a door for all sorts of other stuff.
• 1:13:49
  That's it. Which is like an evil blam
• 1:13:51
  almost. Yes yeah, controlling the bad
• 1:13:56
  creatures. Any any other females that were
• 1:14:01
  close? Oh, there was, but who?
• 1:14:05
  I mean, Herod obviously comes into that for me for all the
• 1:14:09
  reasons I talked about, why I used as the magic wielder.
• 1:14:14
  Never. He'll be in there when she comes
• 1:14:15
  out. Yeah.
• 1:14:19
  For me, it was only really balloon if I was people like I
• 1:14:22
  mean fancy as a cool character, but she was very much in the the
• 1:14:25
  sort of pious side of things. I try not try.
• 1:14:27
  I was trying to keep everything separate on double counting
• 1:14:29
  everything so. Yeah, OK, I went with Hera.
• 1:14:34
  I think I can't add much more than Al said, but yeah, as a
• 1:14:37
  character design, fantastic. Wouldn't mind getting a revised
• 1:14:42
  version of Hera. I think we will.
• 1:14:45
  To, to just address those problems.
• 1:14:47
  And I think she could, you know, she could be a character that if
• 1:14:50
  you look at, you know, Ganesha with the soft goods and, and
• 1:14:54
  this kind of stuff like this kind of a scarf and you know,
• 1:14:58
  you're gonna say the. Belly for a second, John.
• 1:14:59
  It's like, that's harsh. She's been on the doughnuts
• 1:15:02
  since the first one. It's not wrong with the little
• 1:15:04
  pouch and. Oh, nothing wrong with that.
• 1:15:06
  No, no, I'm just saying it'd be quite a change in the original.
• 1:15:08
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there would have to be.
• 1:15:11
  I think that would have to be mentioned in the story.
• 1:15:13
  What, you know what developed there?
• 1:15:16
  But yeah, para would be cool for version 2, but is cool as is
• 1:15:21
  now. But put her in the stand.
• 1:15:23
  I think you'd be happier. And right, a very cool category
• 1:15:29
  here. Anthropomorphic.
• 1:15:32
  This one could go a number of directions.
• 1:15:36
  What we got now? This is another one that's
• 1:15:39
  really, really hard, possibly the hardest because I actually
• 1:15:44
  really love all the creatures and all the, you know, the.
• 1:15:47
  We we all love our animals. They're not.
• 1:15:49
  Pro morphic characters are some of the best, and I think there's
• 1:15:55
  probably a little bit of recency bias in my answer, but partly
• 1:15:59
  because we're getting more and more parts, so we're getting
• 1:16:02
  more and more animaly creatures. So my actual answer, if we were
• 1:16:07
  getting outside mythos would be the Monkey King.
• 1:16:11
  But if we're just doing mythos in the way that we are, it's the
• 1:16:14
  Ninian infantry. I think that will change to
• 1:16:20
  Mindua, Mindad, Minduajay the Cackler when he comes out, but
• 1:16:25
  at the moment it's the Ninian infantry.
• 1:16:30
  Yeah, I think we we've covered her Ninian a few times.
• 1:16:34
  But yeah, it's just such a cool looking figure and a cool bio,
• 1:16:42
  so. Exciting what they're going to
• 1:16:43
  do with all those Ninian characters.
• 1:16:45
  I think it's. Going to be Yeah.
• 1:16:47
  I mean, the bio talks about a race of diverse reptilians, so
• 1:16:51
  that again, there's already, you know, you do all sorts of
• 1:16:54
  different reptile heads. Yeah.
• 1:16:55
  And we? Get the one in the in the
• 1:16:57
  retailer wave as well that's coming.
• 1:16:59
  So can't wait to get that one really.
• 1:17:01
  Cool, he looks amazing. Right, Rich, what you got?
• 1:17:07
  It was an infantry for me as well.
• 1:17:08
  Minion, yeah. There's like Mal, I could pick
• 1:17:12
  every single one in this category.
• 1:17:13
  They're all, they're all awesome.
• 1:17:16
  But I just love, you know, I've been banging on the snake men
• 1:17:18
  and lizard men for so long that I couldn't pick anything else.
• 1:17:22
  And the way they did this, the colour scheme just absolutely
• 1:17:26
  nailed the colour scheme. You know, the Aztecs or vibes to
• 1:17:29
  it as well. The fact it's got a little tail
• 1:17:32
  that is by P Yeah. It's just everything which is
• 1:17:34
  perfect. I Can't Sing the praises enough.
• 1:17:38
  Yeah, it's, it's a great figure. Yeah, I'm so happy I got a few
• 1:17:43
  of him. And yeah, the more the merrier,
• 1:17:46
  I think when it comes to the union.
• 1:17:48
  I went with Thistlethorn, cool looking figure and I love the
• 1:17:57
  colour of his armor. I love the stuff you get with
• 1:18:02
  him, like the green sword Horseman is amazing.
• 1:18:06
  And I think the size of his goblin scale, so that really
• 1:18:10
  suits the character type. And also the bio is just
• 1:18:17
  fantastic. So he's a he's a relic master,
• 1:18:21
  so basically like a collector like us almost, you know, which
• 1:18:26
  is just a really cool and not fascinated with ancient effort
• 1:18:32
  at weapons and artifacts from an early age.
• 1:18:34
  He has always had a predilection for spotting and acquiring the
• 1:18:39
  most precious objects. So fantastic.
• 1:18:46
  I wonder if Snag is hired to help him acquire some of those
• 1:18:48
  pressure. Snag is sent into the the more
• 1:18:52
  dangerous areas of ethos yeah yeah.
• 1:18:55
  Played like a bounty hunter in Star Wars it.
• 1:18:59
  Feels like it could be time to to get some more fuzz mugs.
• 1:19:04
  Really, doesn't it? Different.
• 1:19:05
  Yeah, maybe with a couple of new sculpts and stuff like that.
• 1:19:09
  So that would be awesome, right? We're on to mount.
• 1:19:16
  So what we got there? This.
• 1:19:20
  Is another one that's going to change when we have something
• 1:19:22
  else in hand. Which Bodvar will become my
• 1:19:24
  favorite, I've got no doubt. But at the moment it's cannabis
• 1:19:30
  that I never saw that skeleton horse coming, as you guys know,
• 1:19:33
  And I get reminded by Jeremy every so often.
• 1:19:40
  But it's. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely
• 1:19:43
  fantastic. Yeah.
• 1:19:46
  Yeah, I mean, we reviewed them recently on our an acronymous
• 1:19:49
  episode and yeah, it's just such a cool, cool figure.
• 1:19:55
  Yeah. And you can have, I mean, you
• 1:19:57
  ever heard of them, Rich? I don't got five, Yeah.
• 1:20:03
  No. No, I have a plan about how I'm
• 1:20:07
  going to display them, but yeah, yeah, let's take even 5 for
• 1:20:12
  those to get less room than baby.
• 1:20:13
  He's big. He's a chunky boy, as my
• 1:20:16
  daughter would say. Right.
• 1:20:21
  What's yours, Rich, then? So I went with my best
• 1:20:25
  representation from out and that is Bishop for me.
• 1:20:30
  So, you know, it's the it's the traditional White Horse sort of
• 1:20:34
  things with that timeless sort of feel to it.
• 1:20:36
  It's got a dead horse head as well, which very much adds to
• 1:20:40
  it. We know all know, we thought
• 1:20:41
  before about the horses. Horses are great.
• 1:20:43
  The soft goods are really cool as well.
• 1:20:45
  It adds so much to that horse. And a nice little back story.
• 1:20:50
  Although having read it again today, I am wondering whether
• 1:20:52
  Bishop was in fact faking the lameness to trying to try and
• 1:20:57
  get out of going to war. And then you heard the stable
• 1:20:59
  master say, well, we're going to kill him in the morning if he's
• 1:21:01
  still lame. He's like, no, I'm fine, I'm
• 1:21:03
  fine. Dancing across the state.
• 1:21:07
  Yeah, exactly. Blind dancing in the next
• 1:21:10
  morning. Yeah, I'm fine.
• 1:21:11
  Don't worry about me. And well, you doubled up with me
• 1:21:17
  because I had Bishop as well for all those reasons.
• 1:21:21
  I just think it's the best that cannabis is amazing as well.
• 1:21:24
  I'm so glad you you picked him now and because it was
• 1:21:28
  definitely close between those two for me.
• 1:21:30
  But yeah, Bishop with the soft goods and everything and just a
• 1:21:35
  few mentions for just a few little nitpicks I might have had
• 1:21:38
  with the horses, like the little foot calipers sometimes falling
• 1:21:42
  out the saddle and the the few things with the how the harness
• 1:21:48
  attached and and stuff all sorted in Bishop.
• 1:21:52
  So I think that's why he's the best horse, the best man so far
• 1:21:58
  for me. No, you could categorize it
• 1:22:03
  differently and go, you know, what's the coolest looking or
• 1:22:06
  whatever, and then you could get different.
• 1:22:08
  But I think I had had to go Bishop and right assassin.
• 1:22:15
  And so we're in the realm of the Sons of the Red Star here for
• 1:22:20
  for the most part. What did you go with now?
• 1:22:23
  I think it's still, I mean, I couldn't really think who else
• 1:22:26
  were assassins, although I suppose any one of them really,
• 1:22:29
  aren't they the way they operate?
• 1:22:31
  But I think it's I think I'm now really thinking, but I've gone
• 1:22:36
  with I've gone with Grisha the slitherer again, cool sort of
• 1:22:43
  bio looks great looks for a long time has looked very different
• 1:22:49
  to what else was about with that helmet and with the colours.
• 1:22:55
  Cool bio that's sort of still very mysterious.
• 1:22:57
  We don't actually know what's under the under the mask and all
• 1:23:01
  that and under the clothes. Yeah.
• 1:23:05
  He he, he would strike fear into you if he suddenly showed up, I
• 1:23:10
  think. Absolutely.
• 1:23:14
  What was your? What were you close to changing
• 1:23:18
  it to or? Thinking about it now, I'm
• 1:23:21
  guessing. I've forgotten his name.
• 1:23:27
  The the the main character. Oh, Scapular.
• 1:23:30
  A scapular, especially the new version, would be an assassin
• 1:23:34
  with his blowpipe, wouldn't he say?
• 1:23:36
  He's probably going to be, you know, Yeah.
• 1:23:39
  Help there. Rich.
• 1:23:42
  This is my one breaking the in hand thing so it's disbitar.
• 1:23:46
  Yes, I was close. I was close.
• 1:23:48
  I'm. So excited about this guy, not
• 1:23:50
  just because we helped introduce him, he he's just so cool.
• 1:23:54
  I actually was, look, I was looking at the picture again
• 1:23:57
  today on the website and I was like, Oh my God, this finger is
• 1:24:00
  amazing. It's just incredible.
• 1:24:02
  It's got like his forearms, a scorpion tail.
• 1:24:05
  He looks insectoid. He's got two different heads
• 1:24:07
  with four different looks. It's just like, you know, you
• 1:24:10
  need 4 as a minimum just because of all that sort of stuff.
• 1:24:13
  He's, he's really good, but the bio, you know, he's from a nest
• 1:24:17
  of assassins. He's very reckless with his
• 1:24:20
  assassinations. Again, could be me if I was an
• 1:24:23
  assassin, I wouldn't have the patience to wait for ages.
• 1:24:26
  But ah, sorry. And he's made it known he wants
• 1:24:33
  to plant Grisha. And Grisha has always been my
• 1:24:37
  favorite up to this point. So I really like the idea of the
• 1:24:39
  two of them getting to a smackdown.
• 1:24:43
  I went with Lord for Terrace because of the bio element.
• 1:24:48
  He's he's this rich assassin, so he doesn't really need to do it.
• 1:24:54
  He's doing it more for the, you know, for the buzz of it, for
• 1:24:57
  the kind of and obviously for it's earning him even more money
• 1:25:04
  and he's a loose affiliate of the sons of the Red Star.
• 1:25:08
  So you know, he's definitely more of an assassin for hire or
• 1:25:13
  hoping to overthrow Scapular. So you know that that could that
• 1:25:19
  could be a story element that. He sounds a bit like the
• 1:25:23
  billionaires of nowadays. I don't need anything else
• 1:25:26
  growing and keep going and I'm going to stick my nose in where
• 1:25:29
  it's not needed. And yeah, there we go.
• 1:25:32
  But yeah, sounds like a character that could be on
• 1:25:34
  succession or something like that.
• 1:25:36
  Yeah, yeah, definitely. So, yeah.
• 1:25:39
  So I'm sure it doesn't fully represent Joe Federi in, you
• 1:25:45
  know, it's more of a tribute, you know, in the nicest possible
• 1:25:49
  way, right. We're down to our final
• 1:25:51
  category. And this is the big one.
• 1:25:53
  You can choose from the entire pool of characters.
• 1:25:57
  So now in #20 on wildcards, counting down to the moment.
• 1:26:03
  I, I, it seems we mentioned this one.
• 1:26:05
  I was like, right, he's going to go here and it's Ray go in some
• 1:26:10
  ways he's he's actually the age of the character shows in the
• 1:26:15
  figure good with his parts and that, but he just looks so cool
• 1:26:19
  with those colours and obviously he feels like he was a little
• 1:26:23
  bit of a nod towards you, even though he's quite different, but
• 1:26:28
  certain colours are similar. He's bio.
• 1:26:34
  I think he's actually a really cool bio.
• 1:26:37
  And and and now he's been moved into that association with which
• 1:26:43
  one is it? What's his name?
• 1:26:47
  Everyone. Here we go again.
• 1:26:48
  Erzius. Erzius here.
• 1:26:51
  Yeah. He's he's getting cooler.
• 1:26:57
  He's Yeah, I really like him. Wasn't he House of the Noble
• 1:27:01
  Bear recently? He was as well already.
• 1:27:03
  That's part of what? A lot.
• 1:27:04
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is why I've had him and
• 1:27:08
  then got rid of him three times. It's like he's cool.
• 1:27:10
  He's a nice little boy. You're so cool, you're so good,
• 1:27:13
  trader. Currently stood in front of my
• 1:27:16
  Ninians. Which?
• 1:27:18
  Isn't right at all. That's cool, yeah.
• 1:27:21
  Colour wise there. Yeah, Yeah, right, Rich.
• 1:27:25
  It's foreigners for me. Oh cool.
• 1:27:28
  An older figure, definitely. And you know, parts wise it's
• 1:27:31
  not maybe not, you know, most glamorous, but that head sculpt.
• 1:27:35
  I want them to do a lot more of that sort of thing.
• 1:27:38
  It's not a tree man, but it's got that sort of vibe to it.
• 1:27:42
  And they could do all sorts of cool things with feet and hands
• 1:27:44
  and that sort of stuff. And you know, just ties in so
• 1:27:48
  well with a flock and you know, being an elemental character and
• 1:27:51
  that sort of stuff. I should really like him.
• 1:27:53
  He I think he was when I got my 12 advent of decay in stock sale
• 1:27:58
  figures through which is my first ever big order.
• 1:28:01
  I believe he was the first one I opened.
• 1:28:02
  So he's got a very fond place in my heart.
• 1:28:07
  Yeah. And just that you know again
• 1:28:08
  that he's got the ability to manipulate the tree borne
• 1:28:11
  structure of the castle Silverhorn.
• 1:28:13
  That's extremely cool and he's ancient and I love ancient
• 1:28:18
  characters. It's hence the the thing he
• 1:28:22
  caught you mentioned earlier sorting.
• 1:28:24
  I love the idea of people have been, you know, these characters
• 1:28:26
  have been around for a long. Time.
• 1:28:28
  Yes, a long time. And what, what's their back
• 1:28:31
  story? What do they bring, that sort of
• 1:28:32
  thing. So it is Mr. 4, yes.
• 1:28:35
  Great pick, great pick. And so for me, this is where I
• 1:28:40
  get the Ninian infantry in. Still one of my favourite
• 1:28:44
  figures in the line. Well, not still.
• 1:28:45
  I mean, it's only since November, but yeah, nothing has
• 1:28:50
  turned my head that much since. Yeah, just a great character.
• 1:28:56
  Another Convocation of Basilia member, which is always a plus.
• 1:29:00
  So the Ninians, I think you you kind of covered it when you guys
• 1:29:05
  were talking about it in that in that other category.
• 1:29:09
  But yeah, just a great figure and a great little surprise that
• 1:29:14
  we had last year. So, yeah.
• 1:29:17
  And I'm sure we'll become one of those characters that's hard to
• 1:29:21
  get expensive and secondary market.
• 1:29:23
  And yeah, oh, Rich's eyes are starting to light up there.
• 1:29:30
  No, my unions are staying. They're not going anywhere.
• 1:29:33
  OK, we hold you to that. It's that that's making me wary
• 1:29:38
  of doing anything with my my last Oh, I've got the three
• 1:29:42
  different setups, but then I've got one.
• 1:29:44
  I'm like, oh, I could do. And I'm like, oh, I would.
• 1:29:47
  I already feel guilty about turning.
• 1:29:51
  Or you might get a 2. .0 into a metal skeleton that should have
• 1:29:54
  saved it for. We might get a more builder type
• 1:29:58
  snake dude at some point. I wouldn't be you could also
• 1:30:02
  pick it up from the retailer. So that retailer want to do
• 1:30:06
  custom right. Well, guys that was that was a
• 1:30:09
  lot of fun and we got through them.
• 1:30:12
  I wasn't sure would we, would we have enough time?
• 1:30:15
  But we yeah, we're, we're getting good at this gig
• 1:30:18
  finally, after 113 episodes. We don't.
• 1:30:24
  We don't talk in circles too much, at least.
• 1:30:28
  So I'm still hitting the microphone every now and again.
• 1:30:32
  Now at least you know it's, at least you know now it's, it's a
• 1:30:35
  problem, yeah. You know, I mean the different
• 1:30:37
  seat as well. I'm blaming the seat.
• 1:30:38
  Nothing to do with my innate. Well, look, we have to look
• 1:30:40
  after your back. You know, your comfort and your
• 1:30:42
  back is the same thing, or is the most important thing.
• 1:30:45
  Yeah. How's the fish tank?
• 1:30:47
  What's the update there for for the fish?
• 1:30:49
  Tank going very well yes the the noise volume might had a little
• 1:30:52
  fiddle with it and that's dropped a little bit so that's.
• 1:30:54
  Good. Wow.
• 1:30:55
  So the little tap and I'm banging on the top of the TV
• 1:30:58
  thing worked. Basically, not quite, no.
• 1:31:00
  I turned it all off for about 10 minutes, which, you know, not
• 1:31:05
  advised that much necessarily if you're keeping fish and all the
• 1:31:07
  bacteria needs to be kept alive, etcetera.
• 1:31:08
  But it's like, Nope, let it let all the water just get through
• 1:31:11
  everything again and turned it back on.
• 1:31:12
  And it's, although it's, excuse me, still noisy, it's much
• 1:31:15
  quieter than it was so. Right.
• 1:31:17
  Might be a bit of an air bubble or.
• 1:31:19
  Something so I'll soup to how that's going and the new fish a
• 1:31:22
  delight. But frankly, I've got 10 of them
• 1:31:24
  and they're zipping around the tank all over the place.
• 1:31:26
  They feed like piranhas. I'm half expecting to come out
• 1:31:29
  of my hand. I did.
• 1:31:30
  I got home with 10 new fish in a bag, walked into the living room
• 1:31:34
  where the tank is, and there was a fish upside down, literally
• 1:31:37
  upside down on the bottom of the tank.
• 1:31:39
  I was like, oh, I knew it was all my favourites.
• 1:31:42
  I was like, well, I've got the new fish, there's nothing I can
• 1:31:45
  do here. And they all look fine.
• 1:31:47
  They match one of those things. So yeah, hike the body out, pop
• 1:31:52
  the new ones in. So yeah, but I thoroughly enjoy
• 1:31:55
  the tank. It's so big compared to the like
• 1:31:58
  Americans would think it was a tiny tank still because it's
• 1:32:00
  like 50 gallons, which for them is quite small.
• 1:32:03
  But for me that's a decent sized tank.
• 1:32:05
  It's. A bit of work to to keep it
• 1:32:08
  maintained and all that. And do you sometimes just sit
• 1:32:12
  there and chill and look at the tank?
• 1:32:14
  Yes, I will do more so again now that the sounds dropped a little
• 1:32:18
  bit, but I'm still sitting there glaring and it's so noisy.
• 1:32:21
  But yeah, it's, it's, that's part of the joy of fish keeping
• 1:32:24
  for me is that it's just relaxing my two things that
• 1:32:27
  really chill me out in life at the cinema and staring at fish
• 1:32:31
  tanks. They're the proper 2 relaxing
• 1:32:34
  things for me. Like I went to, I went to cinema
• 1:32:36
  last night and watched 2 films, neither brilliant, but it was
• 1:32:42
  still great. It was dark, just chilled,
• 1:32:44
  relaxed. What do you want to see?
• 1:32:48
  I went and see the accountant too.
• 1:32:51
  OK, I want to see that. I'd never seen the original so I
• 1:32:53
  had to Google what happened in the first one to get a grip.
• 1:32:56
  Oh. It was a continuation.
• 1:32:58
  It wasn't a separate. It wasn't a.
• 1:32:59
  Continuation. But it was it was the same.
• 1:33:00
  We're virtually all the same characters.
• 1:33:02
  So I had to have a rough idea about what happened in the first
• 1:33:04
  one, which helped. But the film itself was two out
• 1:33:08
  of five. It was just mere.
• 1:33:10
  Who's the late character there? Ben Affleck.
• 1:33:13
  Ben Affleck. So John Bernthal, who plays the
• 1:33:16
  Punisher is, plays his brother and he's there.
• 1:33:18
  And he was, he was brilliant. I don't normally rate him
• 1:33:21
  particularly as an actor, but he he displayed some proper acting
• 1:33:24
  jobs. I really.
• 1:33:26
  Like the first one. So that's a bit of a shame.
• 1:33:29
  You might like this one more than I did then, Ma.
• 1:33:32
  Yeah. And then I watched Warfare,
• 1:33:35
  which is the new one It's set in.
• 1:33:38
  It's based on a true story. So it's like real time.
• 1:33:41
  So it's like an hour and a half. And it's this Navy SEAL team in
• 1:33:45
  Iraq, Yeah, in Iraq in 2006. And they're like, they're like a
• 1:33:53
  sniper overview for these Marines sort of thing.
• 1:33:56
  And then they come under attack themselves.
• 1:33:58
  So it's all done in real time. They've done it.
• 1:34:01
  You know, they've got all the Navy Seals, like 3 of the ones
• 1:34:03
  involved in the incident they're advising and that sort of thing.
• 1:34:07
  So if you're watching it as like, it's almost like a
• 1:34:09
  documentary basically. You know, the line.
• 1:34:12
  It's not, you know, you don't watch it going, OK, that's a
• 1:34:15
  clever line. And that's because it's oh,
• 1:34:17
  there's a cat love it because it's, it's not that.
• 1:34:20
  It's just them using the words they would use in it.
• 1:34:23
  So it's very well done. It almost deafened me.
• 1:34:25
  It was so loud. Oh, wow.
• 1:34:27
  Which makes me seem very old. But honestly, God, I was in the
• 1:34:30
  cinema going this is a bit oh, that radio chatter is a bit
• 1:34:33
  loud. My old man is they're struggling
• 1:34:35
  a bit with it. Yeah, now there's been, I've
• 1:34:37
  been in a couple of movies that I've thought this, this can't,
• 1:34:40
  but they've got to have this turned up to.
• 1:34:42
  Yeah, they must have had it too loud.
• 1:34:44
  Oh, there's an IED went off at one point.
• 1:34:45
  It was like my Adroms have just gone OK.
• 1:34:48
  There you go. It's you're talking behind your
• 1:34:50
  seat. Yeah.
• 1:34:52
  So, yeah, I mean, I jumped, you know, you weren't expecting it,
• 1:34:55
  and I properly jumped. But no, if it was a documentary
• 1:35:00
  about how the Navy Seal's operate, you'd probably
• 1:35:02
  thoroughly enjoy it. But as a film, it was incredibly
• 1:35:05
  well. It's one of those films,
• 1:35:06
  incredibly well done. We come out and we just go,
• 1:35:08
  yeah. Have you seen sinners?
• 1:35:10
  Yet I have not. That was one of the options,
• 1:35:15
  yeah, because I wanted to watch 2 back-to-back and those two
• 1:35:18
  worked out best timing wise, but it's in as good.
• 1:35:20
  I think you'll like sin if yeah. Excellent.
• 1:35:22
  He's got Delroy Lindo in as well, isn't he?
• 1:35:24
  And I love him. He's a really excellent actor.
• 1:35:26
  Well, it gives off vibes of in terms of tone more like dusk
• 1:35:34
  till dawn and 30 days of night in terms of the style.
• 1:35:39
  But obviously with I say style, that's not the right word I'm
• 1:35:42
  looking for. But in terms of the way
• 1:35:45
  characters are represented and all that.
• 1:35:47
  But then of course, Ryan Coogler of doing what he does and
• 1:35:51
  obviously reference to a lot of black history and all that.
• 1:35:55
  And it is a really, really good really.
• 1:35:58
  Oh excellent, I might be going again next week with the mate to
• 1:36:00
  cinema so I will recommend that. Cool.
• 1:36:05
  Well, in the meantime, you know, put the your Allegiance podcast
• 1:36:09
  in your headphones and sit there and look at your fish tank and
• 1:36:15
  listen to the dodge, the tones of Mal, the interruptions of
• 1:36:20
  John and Rich going off in various wonderful tangents.
• 1:36:30
  Remember everybody, stay safe out there.
• 1:36:32
  Wonderful tangents are brilliant, unless you're driving
• 1:36:34
  and you lose focus in the crack. So stay safe.
