• 0:02
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:04
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:08
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
• 0:12
  fake hammer. Oh.
• 0:13
  A fake? Yeah.
• 0:14
  Whoa. As I say, Dick.
• 0:18
  Welcome to episode 150 of the Religions Podcast.
• 0:22
  Nice little round Number for you there.
• 0:25
  And this evening we're going to take a look at a little bit of
• 0:29
  latest news and we're going to look at the Rising Suns.
• 0:33
  The figures give ourselves a little recap of what they were
• 0:35
  because they are arriving very soon.
• 0:39
  So rather than review them because we don't have them
• 0:42
  already, we thought we'd look back at what we're going to get
• 0:45
  because it's been a while, it's been 2 years and a bit.
• 0:48
  So it's to ramp up the excitement and hopefully as
• 0:52
  you're getting your figures in hand, you can join us in that.
• 0:56
  That right man. That's right, yes, and.
• 0:59
  What are you? What are you waiting for?
• 1:02
  An all in is it. Yes, but I've got.
• 1:04
  Yeah, I actually bought. Did I buy?
• 1:06
  2 all in's of I think about two all in's of rice, one from the
• 1:10
  horsemen, one from Memoriam of Cool, yeah.
• 1:13
  OK, one from the return it. Was, well, it was it was a very
• 1:16
  exciting wave. I remember when it was revealed
• 1:19
  to legions. Con G Con.
• 1:22
  Yeah. It was most exciting because we
• 1:25
  were called up on stage obviously, which made it
• 1:27
  exciting for everybody else. There was that as well, for
• 1:29
  sure. I like that.
• 1:32
  Exciting for everyone else. Yeah, sure.
• 1:38
  And even though there's some Barbarians in this rate wave,
• 1:41
  Rich, you're still excited because there's plenty to float
• 1:45
  your boat as well. Well, you see by my little my
• 1:48
  little Monica, this week a rising tide lifts all boats.
• 1:50
  I'm trying to persuade myself even the rubbish figures will
• 1:52
  get carried along by the the really cool.
• 1:54
  There are no rubbish figures in this wave though.
• 1:56
  Come on. No, no, they're obvious.
• 1:58
  But even the Barbarians will get risen raised a little bit by the
• 2:01
  episodes. Do you have any Barbarians
• 2:04
  coming from this wave to your? I went all.
• 2:07
  In the boat? Oh, you went all in.
• 2:09
  All in the even rich UK retailer.
• 2:14
  Very good. Well we get to all that.
• 2:16
  We get to all that rich. I believe the police are chasing
• 2:21
  your own Bristol these days. He's not about this, Yes.
• 2:28
  So what day is it? Tuesday, coming home from work.
• 2:33
  My wife messages me. She's like, can you, can you
• 2:35
  stop at the locker, Amazon locker, and pick up a couple of
• 2:38
  parcels? And he's like, yeah, yeah, no
• 2:39
  problem at all. Stop the locker.
• 2:42
  It was 3 inches deep in water, so I had to wade through the
• 2:45
  water to get to this locker, which is a bad start anyway.
• 2:48
  So for Christ's sake, get the parcels out.
• 2:51
  I'm back in the car, pull out the car park, waiting to pull
• 2:55
  out onto the road. There's a gap, I pull out.
• 2:57
  I left the car in second gear and just stalled the car Rd.
• 3:01
  So I roll really, really slowly across the centre of the road.
• 3:05
  And luckily the traffic was relatively slow coming towards
• 3:07
  me. So I'm apologising to everybody
• 3:08
  and I'm sorry I'm an idiot. Some reason get the car started
• 3:13
  again a few 100 metres down the road.
• 3:16
  Traffic lights. Brilliant.
• 3:17
  OK, no problem. They looked in my Ruby mirror
• 3:19
  and there was a police car behind me and I was like, and
• 3:23
  then I was like, ah, because the car park where the locker is
• 3:26
  that I pulled out of is a pub car park.
• 3:29
  Oh, so they think now that you're drunk.
• 3:32
  So they're thinking this guy's been drinking, he's come out of
• 3:34
  pub car park and his car's barely getting across the road
• 3:37
  and barely moving. And that sort of thing to
• 3:38
  explain this is this is a stick shift because this is normal
• 3:42
  over this part of the world most.
• 3:44
  It is, yes. Gears So that's why he stole the
• 3:47
  car. Just It can happen.
• 3:48
  It's not common, but it can happen.
• 3:50
  Yeah, so I was like, I bet they follow me now.
• 3:53
  So I certainly laughed at the lights.
• 3:54
  The police, the nearest police thing is like straight on and a
• 3:57
  way away sort of thing. So actually turn, they're
• 4:00
  following me. So I indicated turn left.
• 4:02
  You're enough. Please.
• 4:03
  God follows me for fuck's sake. So I then drove like a 400 year
• 4:09
  old person on their driving test.
• 4:11
  I can't remember last time I drove that slowly indicated
• 4:13
  everywhere. It's just ridiculous.
• 4:16
  Made at home and luckily they carried on and just left me be
• 4:19
  there but it's just like. So they were just escorting you
• 4:22
  home basically? They were.
• 4:23
  I didn't. Slam into anything or anything
• 4:26
  like that, yeah. I knew you're a celebrity.
• 4:28
  So they were, they were, you know, police escort back to your
• 4:31
  house. Maybe that's what it was.
• 4:33
  He said he's forging and Tonic says he's stuffed for his Amazon
• 4:36
  locker. You know it's.
• 4:37
  Just so funny though. The movie mirrors like police
• 4:39
  car. They're going to follow me,
• 4:40
  aren't they sharing? Oh, I hate that.
• 4:42
  I hate even. It was like if I get
• 4:44
  breathalysed I've not had a drink for like 5 or 6 days.
• 4:46
  So this is awesome. I just like.
• 4:48
  Yeah, all good. Yeah, and you don't even have to
• 4:51
  use aftershave because you don't shave.
• 4:53
  So, you know, it's not even a chance of cross contamination
• 4:56
  there. Yeah, I hate even when, you
• 4:59
  know, just in traffic because police car, you know, just maybe
• 5:03
  in the traffic, not even, not even with their lights on.
• 5:05
  That's always just annoying because you're just scared
• 5:08
  that's the one time you'll do something dumb.
• 5:11
  Yeah. Even if you consider yourself a
• 5:15
  good driver, it's, it's, it's difficult, right?
• 5:20
  So latest news from the Horsemen, that was latest news
• 5:23
  from Rich. And he's always got the dramas.
• 5:26
  You know this our group chat is maybe even more fun than this
• 5:30
  podcast sometimes. It's it's yeah, it's mainly my
• 5:33
  dramas, isn't this? We got a couple of hints again
• 5:39
  towards the RPG First off and we got a this picture which is of
• 5:46
  the two revealed figures so far. So the red knight paladin as
• 5:51
  type figure and the elf. And then we got 2 silhouettes
• 5:56
  and on the left male we have, it's a female is it?
• 6:00
  Yeah, it looks like it's probably going to be female mix
• 6:04
  of some of the newer parts and probably some of the older
• 6:07
  parts. It's not super easy to tell what
• 6:10
  those parts are. I think you can get a good idea
• 6:14
  of some of them. She's obviously wearing a skirt
• 6:16
  piece though, which kind of hides the legs a little bit.
• 6:21
  So yeah. Victorian lady then, basically.
• 6:25
  Yeah, skirt that fit. And apparently, my legs.
• 6:30
  I've seen I've seen people describe it as a major or
• 6:33
  something like that, but. Oh, possibly, yeah.
• 6:35
  Yeah. You'd have to think it's it's
• 6:37
  going to fit in with one of the major classes.
• 6:41
  Yeah. That they would have probably 2,
• 6:44
  probably 2, because that's what they're kind of doing with these
• 6:49
  figures that I think at least with the the red guy here.
• 6:53
  And we assume that the other guy, when they character packets
• 6:57
  revealed, he'll have another look as well.
• 7:00
  And apparently that might be getting revealed on Legions
• 7:03
  Ladies by Jeremy this week. So.
• 7:06
  Is today as we're recording, apparently.
• 7:08
  So when our episode drops tomorrow, it should be out there
• 7:11
  and revealed. And I assumed then reached this
• 7:15
  other one on the right is not a vampire because otherwise they'd
• 7:18
  have been on to you to reveal it.
• 7:19
  Exactly, and it's it's a tad short so I'm going for a small
• 7:23
  shark. I think it's fair to say it's a
• 7:29
  dwarf, which is awesome. And we also had this box out
• 7:36
  revealed and. Not seen this.
• 7:39
  Have you not seen that? Oh man, you've been busy at
• 7:41
  work. So this is art from Max Dunbar.
• 7:48
  So you remember that artist that did the Joe Manganello art for
• 7:52
  his characters? He obviously they got on well,
• 7:56
  him and the Horsemen when they were doing a bit of work
• 8:00
  together for that project. And he's doing some box art for
• 8:05
  the role-playing game. And we can see on the right here
• 8:08
  in the kind of on the fold, so the right kind of side of the
• 8:12
  box, there is an actual dwarf there.
• 8:14
  So we assume that's probably similar to what might be
• 8:18
  revealed with that dwarf figure. You get the skeleton in the
• 8:22
  middle and then a couple of works, and I think there's a
• 8:26
  knight on there as well. So very cool.
• 8:30
  This is a beginner box, and so you get like the rules and you
• 8:35
  get standees in this box. So not even miniatures, but
• 8:40
  standees and some other stuff. I think I have it here,
• 8:44
  actually. I know, I know that's somewhere
• 8:47
  else. Yeah.
• 8:48
  So check out the forests and socials for all the details of
• 8:52
  what you get there. But yeah, more cool stuff.
• 8:56
  It seems like this project is very, you know, ready to go
• 9:00
  almost for the Kickstarter. Everything's going to be there
• 9:04
  and ready to be looked at and. I'm presuming as there's we're
• 9:09
  looking at what's on the front bit, two walks or Walker and
• 9:12
  ogre and skeleton that we're going to have some bad guy
• 9:14
  figures be revealed as well. Come on, it was a shame,
• 9:18
  wouldn't you? Yeah.
• 9:22
  Yeah, I think Jeremy did. Jeremy not mentioned this week
• 9:24
  on his show that there will be some bad guys as part of the.
• 9:27
  I've only watched about the 1st 25 minutes of his show so if he
• 9:30
  has I don't got to that but yeah no chance.
• 9:32
  To listen. I saw a bit with his cat, so I
• 9:36
  can confirm that he has a. He has a ginger cat called.
• 9:38
  Beautiful ginger cat. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:42
  But yeah, I really like this art style.
• 9:45
  Max Dunbar. He does awesome work and I'm
• 9:48
  glad he's collaborating with Dorisman.
• 9:49
  And I assume this won't be the last of his work.
• 9:52
  We'll see in relation to all this stuff.
• 9:57
  It's got a real, to me anyway, it's got a real sort of
• 9:59
  role-playing game style to this. Yeah.
• 10:02
  You know, it seems a bit different maybe it's a lot of
• 10:04
  the stuff that the horsemen do. So I could it makes sense to
• 10:06
  bring in someone that's done that sort of thing before.
• 10:10
  Totally. Yeah, right.
• 10:13
  And then we have the retailer figures which are dropping on
• 10:19
  the 18th of February is the street date for the retailer.
• 10:22
  So assuming your retailer is able to meet that, they'll have
• 10:27
  the figures on the way to you if you've ordered them or you'll be
• 10:31
  able to order them then as an in stock thing.
• 10:33
  So let's say you get your Ruby post.
• 10:36
  I only took the they had them on the Forge clock show and this
• 10:41
  middle picture, they're the nice picture of the snake dude for
• 10:45
  Nasus is from Trevor Williams. He posted so sorry for robbing
• 10:53
  your picture, Trevor, but you're credited here.
• 10:55
  It's not not your professional level, but it's a beautiful desk
• 10:59
  picture. It's clear and the boxes are
• 11:01
  from a stream. So yeah, difficulty, but you can
• 11:05
  see there's a cool red box coming with this cosmic the
• 11:10
  trooper, the phantom trooper. So that works really well.
• 11:15
  And Jeremy said that the in inside cover art is actually
• 11:19
  some art he rejected previously, the Outposts Axis Wave and
• 11:23
  they've been redone it for here. So yeah, but looks good.
• 11:29
  And yeah, Vernasa is coming in a standard looking mythics box,
• 11:33
  but nicely presented. There you see the 2 heads.
• 11:36
  The green is so. Green is so vibrant, isn't it?
• 11:40
  It's. Great isn't it the 2 shades as
• 11:41
  well as really cool. Yeah, really excellent.
• 11:46
  So very excited to get them. I didn't, yeah, I didn't take
• 11:52
  pictures of the other. I didn't say screen grabs of the
• 11:56
  figuras because it's just the outside of the box there.
• 11:59
  You can't see the figures or anything in them.
• 12:01
  And then Chris Gorge was in China and he is basically
• 12:07
  confirming that all the boxes for Ox Crew and Ashes of Eck
• 12:11
  Bendor are basically being loaded into ships and possibly
• 12:16
  on the water now at this stage. So they're going to be coming
• 12:20
  pretty soon. So I mean, it's a.
• 12:22
  Chinese New Year. So if they're not on the ships,
• 12:23
  they're going to be waiting a little bit, yeah.
• 12:27
  Totally, Yeah. And there's a Oh yeah, I
• 12:30
  actually got this picture as well.
• 12:32
  There's a slightly better this from Jeremy Stream.
• 12:35
  This is a slightly better picture of the trooper.
• 12:37
  Looks great, doesn't. It.
• 12:39
  Yeah, really. Really like that I haven't
• 12:41
  ordered any of this guy. Oh Rich.
• 12:45
  Yeah, problems with this type of figure is 1 is never enough.
• 12:52
  Yeah, it's, well it's the sort of figure I would buy multiples
• 12:56
  because the armour is so difficult to you know, to get it
• 13:00
  looking as good as the fact me always is hard to get it looking
• 13:04
  as good as the factory anyway. But that particular colour and
• 13:08
  the lighter, lighter pale colours.
• 13:12
  So I'd buy multiples and then the others sit there whilst they
• 13:16
  decide what to do with them. I mean I have ordered multiples
• 13:20
  but not too many of this one. Also, I do with Mythic.
• 13:25
  I'll order, you know, I'll order a few and then just sit there
• 13:28
  and go, right? What bits kind of use where and
• 13:31
  they get used. It just takes a while.
• 13:33
  Yeah, yeah, totally. So that's that.
• 13:40
  We also had this little bit of reveal.
• 13:42
  So on the Toy con New Jersey Instagram Highlands Warrior, you
• 13:47
  can look at the figure there in the box.
• 13:50
  So it's more of a style of like a remember Sir Gerard came in a
• 13:58
  box like this. That's sort of a box, I guess
• 14:02
  like the cosmic boxes are a bit like this.
• 14:05
  So if you can imagine, you know the cardboard kind of box with
• 14:09
  the window at the front. Yeah, they seem to be the
• 14:11
  convention. Exclusives don't.
• 14:13
  Sorry, Ma. I mean, it just stole your life.
• 14:15
  Yeah, that's in these sort of boxes.
• 14:17
  Yeah, yeah. Didn't the revenant and?
• 14:21
  They did, yeah. The other the chain, even
• 14:24
  scaffolding of Algard, the ones who exclusive bits came in these
• 14:27
  boxes as well. And ATL 25, the exclusive one,
• 14:34
  came in a box. Yeah, it's that style.
• 14:37
  Yeah, so a nice green backing card on the inside of it.
• 14:41
  And then Trevor's wonderful photography on the back and a
• 14:45
  little bit of landscape kind of art from Legions.
• 14:50
  A bit like the picture on the back of the Valiant Night box,
• 14:53
  maybe that sort of art. Yeah, really bright kind of
• 14:58
  mythos in the spring, maybe. And then our friend Kevin Boots
• 15:05
  I saw posted up. He just got his first little
• 15:09
  order from the Rising Suns wave and this cool.
• 15:16
  Good on you Kevin. And so I nicked this from his
• 15:21
  Facebook post. I'm sure he won't mind.
• 15:23
  And so this is the backing card for that wave.
• 15:26
  So you get Scapular on Umbra the horse.
• 15:29
  So how cool is that? A little bit of cross sell of a
• 15:33
  few of the figures got Riggarian, Atlas, Broder or Neve
• 15:39
  and these, that's these there is it.
• 15:41
  And then Scapular and Minisha. So really cool.
• 15:47
  And he also posted a picture of the figures in the boxes.
• 15:53
  So there they are. They are real.
• 15:54
  Look at them. And that's his first.
• 15:57
  So he got yeah, these Pitar, Minisha and Scapular.
• 16:01
  The first three he got. I know he likes he likes the the
• 16:06
  female figures. So that's Minisha there.
• 16:10
  And yeah, these but ours just awesome.
• 16:13
  Yeah. And Skeptar, of course.
• 16:16
  Everyone's going to need Scapular version 2.
• 16:22
  And the second one to be the the Amir.
• 16:26
  Yeah. Yes as well.
• 16:27
  That's true. I haven't ordered.
• 16:28
  Actually I do need to get a second one.
• 16:31
  Yeah, right. So I think that's all the news I
• 16:34
  have. Any more news of Rich you you
• 16:39
  developed FOMO from listen to Jeremy.
• 16:41
  He was laying on the FOMO thick though I have to say, well done
• 16:44
  Jeremy. Yeah, I was.
• 16:46
  I couldn't get asleep last night.
• 16:47
  So, so I was, I was watching basic mythic conversations and I
• 16:52
  thought, yeah, how much? Too much?
• 16:53
  Because it's like half midnight. It starts here, I'll watch a
• 16:55
  little bit. And he started talking about,
• 16:56
  you know, how certain figures sold out previously and the
• 16:59
  three least ordered in this way by people were miniature Deese
• 17:05
  and your shine, your shine I yeah, yeah, I just, if I'm out
• 17:13
  here. So I immediately went on to the
• 17:14
  retailer and bought three more Yushanis because I want a few of
• 17:18
  him so. They sold out of any of the
• 17:21
  figures. Yeah.
• 17:22
  I think they were, yes. Not the shiny thankfully, and I
• 17:25
  might go back for some more a couple more dices as well.
• 17:28
  And then Atlas, Scapular and Neve are the most popular.
• 17:33
  That's not. Surprising though, is it never
• 17:35
  was a big hit when she was revealed.
• 17:38
  But then he was also following saying, well, you know, that
• 17:42
  means that they're popular. So the people that haven't
• 17:45
  ordered will be ordering them. And so they might go the way of
• 17:51
  because apparently Sir Enoch was the most popular from All Star 6
• 17:55
  and he's sold out pretty quickly so.
• 18:00
  Yeah, I could still can't believe that from Legions
• 18:01
  Connors I'd like get I was going to get 6 or 7 and got one when
• 18:05
  they put a handful more when the the retailers went around or
• 18:08
  things like that, not retailers vendors.
• 18:12
  Yeah, so, but we'll get into them now in a second.
• 18:16
  We'll take a closer look at them, as we said, main part of
• 18:19
  the show and other thing, he said.
• 18:23
  That was interesting. Cosmic Comic is on hold and it
• 18:27
  seems like they maybe are going to do something different.
• 18:31
  So he didn't really give details, but he seemed to be
• 18:34
  very firm on the fact that it was on hold and they were going
• 18:37
  to, they had making alternative plans or arrangements.
• 18:40
  So whatever that says to you. But I know we were excited about
• 18:47
  that and maybe thinking that might boost the Cosmic line a
• 18:51
  bit. So let's see what they have in
• 18:54
  store instead. But he did say that they're he's
• 18:58
  busy writing new stories for the next cosmic wave.
• 19:01
  And Eric is busy sculpting. So, you know, new scopes.
• 19:05
  Always good. Yeah.
• 19:07
  So. And they're very excited about
• 19:09
  the next cosmic wave. So let's take them with their
• 19:12
  word and see what they hit us with in the next couple of
• 19:14
  months. Any thoughts on the cosmic comic
• 19:20
  being cancelled? Just same as you, really.
• 19:23
  He was extremely firm in that statement in the show.
• 19:26
  It wasn't like maybe it was just like, you know, it stopped for
• 19:29
  now. Because I like my comic books,
• 19:33
  so I was quite looking forward to that.
• 19:35
  And so, yeah, yeah, that's a shame, but.
• 19:38
  And there's a lot of, there's a lot of community people working
• 19:41
  on it. So yeah, are due to be working
• 19:44
  on it. I don't know if they did any
• 19:45
  work on it apart from that little kind of book that they
• 19:50
  had at that Legions con the the last but one right.
• 19:55
  Yeah. And then non legions news.
• 19:57
  Mattel has got the term TMNT master licence.
• 20:00
  How exciting is that for terrorist fans?
• 20:04
  So we we have probably the two biggest 80s toy properties maybe
• 20:09
  in the one house now. Yeah.
• 20:11
  With T man, masters universe and TMNT so.
• 20:16
  I'm really hoping that means we might get origin style turtles
• 20:21
  figures, which would be terrible for my wallet but would be
• 20:25
  amazing. But they've done a crossover so
• 20:27
  far, haven't they? They did, yeah, yeah, which?
• 20:30
  And I know there was some like, funky designs there, but the
• 20:33
  figures themselves were good because I know you picked up a
• 20:35
  few. Yeah.
• 20:37
  I mean, I guess their origins. So if you like the origins,
• 20:39
  assets, the quality, yeah. I think they'd lure me in to be
• 20:43
  honest. Not interested in the origin
• 20:45
  team and stuff but the origin circle stuff I could well if
• 20:48
  they do that be interested in. Yeah.
• 20:52
  More about Playmates giving up the licence too.
• 20:54
  I mean, that's quite. I know they've had it about 30
• 20:57
  years and now it's like. Well, again I.
• 21:00
  Wonder if they give it up though.
• 21:01
  It was just like, you're not getting it.
• 21:05
  Well, I mean, I don't know about that one, but Pixel Dan was
• 21:08
  making the point that they helped create some of those
• 21:13
  designs and figures. The, you know, they they were
• 21:16
  instrumental in the original toys design.
• 21:20
  So it's interesting, isn't it? All right, but they might have
• 21:24
  signed the rights over so it might still all belong to was
• 21:29
  paramount. I think I saw was the IT did
• 21:32
  feel like the main way solder. There, Yeah, it's Paramount's
• 21:36
  bought, yeah, But it does did feel like Playmates were wasting
• 21:42
  the licence a bit. They weren't doing much with it
• 21:44
  really were. They no, not a re issue, just re
• 21:46
  issues with mostly what they were doing.
• 21:48
  Yeah, and some of them were a bit hit and miss.
• 21:51
  Which is really weird because they went after super 7
• 21:53
  obviously hard to stop them from.
• 21:55
  Doing that obviously wasn't, so that was probably the the
• 22:01
  licence holder rather than. The rights.
• 22:05
  Yeah, let's see. And maybe another movie coming
• 22:08
  for that as well. So exciting times in the toy
• 22:13
  industry, right? Shall we get on to a little look
• 22:18
  back at Rising Suns? What we're going to get, what
• 22:22
  we're going to be arriving, What's a lot of you are looking
• 22:26
  for in your mailboxes, post boxes?
• 22:28
  You're like Rich getting chased by the police home from your
• 22:32
  backup station with your box of legions, hoping your day is not
• 22:35
  going to be ruined. Right.
• 22:39
  I guess this was the the big news that the Rising Suns has
• 22:44
  arrived, shipments starting now. The bad news for me, Newman was
• 22:49
  the all in is not on the 1st trail of shipment or whatever
• 22:53
  they got in that is at the port in America, but customs
• 22:58
  inspection, random customs inspection.
• 23:00
  So yeah, depends how long that takes and they probably have to
• 23:06
  open a few of them. Whatever you know.
• 23:10
  That's just a. That's now a paperwork thing,
• 23:12
  yeah. I do love the fact that they've.
• 23:15
  Stopped one container to do an inspection on it, but let
• 23:19
  another container with the same stuff in pretty much just loose
• 23:22
  go through. What would you do if you find?
• 23:25
  Something in the first one, obviously they're not going to,
• 23:26
  it's just just toys, but it's just like that surely doesn't
• 23:29
  make sense, but. Yeah, but I suppose that's how
• 23:35
  they work, you know, it's just random.
• 23:37
  So like if you were doing anything illegal, you probably
• 23:41
  would just hide in one of the in one of the containers, so.
• 23:48
  They're just doing a random. Thing.
• 23:52
  OK, Atlas Two, thought we'd start off on a positive note for
• 23:56
  you, Rich. I had forgotten about.
• 24:01
  This helmet on the right here. This gladiator helmet.
• 24:06
  Yeah, I don't. I didn't particularly remember
• 24:08
  it, but he's never going to get displayed like that for me
• 24:11
  anyway. I know, but you have.
• 24:14
  You have gladiators from from last legions gone and maybe
• 24:18
  gladiators from coming in stock. That could be fun to mix and
• 24:25
  match with this helmet. And he's awesome.
• 24:29
  I mean, look at all the stuff you get.
• 24:31
  Asymmetrical figure. So you see, if you're not
• 24:34
  familiar with the original Atlas, he has one normal fur
• 24:38
  boot and one armoured boot and the same on the arm as one bare
• 24:44
  arm and one armoured arm with the pauldron and a load of
• 24:50
  belts. So many belts.
• 24:54
  Yeah. So as a figure, Rich, it's cool.
• 24:57
  No, I mean, he's almost not naked in this.
• 25:00
  Yeah, there's a. Lot of flesh covered up there.
• 25:03
  It's better than the original 1. I think I've said on the show
• 25:05
  before that I really, really disliked the original Atlas
• 25:08
  bigger, so this is definitely an improvement.
• 25:11
  And you've got to have, I mean, he's a faction leader, so I've
• 25:13
  got to have him on display, yeah.
• 25:16
  So that's as positive as like. I'm glad.
• 25:18
  Yeah, he's cool. Yeah, we get a little close.
• 25:21
  Up there in the head and you can see there's just that there
• 25:24
  seems to be just more sculpting detail in the head and obviously
• 25:28
  the paint job is updated as well.
• 25:30
  So very excited to compare that to past Atlas.
• 25:35
  What do you think now? Yeah, yeah.
• 25:37
  He's. One of my favourite The original
• 25:39
  Atlas is one of my favourite figures in the whole line and
• 25:42
  this is the perfect update. So you're going to.
• 25:45
  Display them both. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:48
  They'll get both get displayed. You know the extra touches on
• 25:53
  this one like the sort of the the lion on his boot reference
• 25:57
  is where he comes from and the bear little on these shoulder.
• 26:02
  You can see there that that's very cool sort of referencing.
• 26:08
  Absolutely. Who he is now, yeah.
• 26:12
  And of course, Trevor. I don't know if I took all these
• 26:17
  pictures for this slideshow, but took a few of the of the
• 26:21
  highlights for sure. And this was one with Atlas in
• 26:24
  the snow. Scapular too.
• 26:30
  So these are the 2 looks that you were referring to, Rich.
• 26:32
  Yeah. No, this is a cool thing.
• 26:37
  This is a great thing. So this is the.
• 26:43
  Torso piece that this RPG. Alpha is coming.
• 26:49
  With Yeah, and you got the belt with the the kind of two small
• 26:55
  knives. You got the.
• 26:58
  Sons of the Red Star, I guess. Faction shield now.
• 27:05
  Yeah, it's kind of. It's like 1/2, I suppose.
• 27:09
  It's a half circle or a half sphere.
• 27:12
  Sorry. Almost like a 3D.
• 27:16
  Shield, but not quite, but this is their this is definitely
• 27:20
  their version of it. It's it's a very cool way
• 27:22
  they've done it. And on the right here is the
• 27:25
  Emir Caspar. So if you read or listened to us
• 27:30
  do this, read the story the the the Red Star of Kibira, then
• 27:37
  this is the Emir from that story.
• 27:41
  And Casper, named after Michael Casper, who's a massive fan of
• 27:46
  the scapular figure. So yeah.
• 27:51
  Which way does he? Get displayed both ways.
• 27:54
  Yeah, I've only got 1. Ordered so far, but I'll
• 27:56
  definitely get another one and have both on display.
• 28:00
  I'm not normally necessarily. A big fan of of covering them
• 28:03
  like all with the soft goods, yeah, but actually in this setup
• 28:07
  without mask and everything, it works really well.
• 28:09
  Does doesn't it? Yeah.
• 28:12
  Do you know? Yeah, yeah, he's going.
• 28:14
  To have to get displayed both ways because he looks like such
• 28:17
  2, you know, 2 distinctive figures.
• 28:20
  Almost doesn't, even though he's got the touches like the knives
• 28:24
  and the blow part. You could.
• 28:26
  You could maybe if you had a Legion.
• 28:27
  Boat builder body lying around You could.
• 28:31
  Swap it in. There and then use the cool
• 28:34
  scapular parts for for customers.
• 28:38
  That's a good idea. You could.
• 28:40
  You absolutely could, yeah. And then comes with a.
• 28:43
  Bunch of stuff like loads of armoured hands.
• 28:48
  Also comes with the leather glove tans.
• 28:49
  I think they're meant for the Emir's you see here.
• 28:53
  A bunch of knives and little scroll and little kind of wallet
• 28:59
  or something like that. The blow down gun.
• 29:01
  It's just the blood out gun, yeah.
• 29:03
  It's just like, you know, a skeleton.
• 29:05
  With no breath and he's got a blow down gun.
• 29:06
  It's just there. It's awesome.
• 29:08
  No lips. Yeah, no lips.
• 29:14
  So funny though. So good.
• 29:17
  And I think that like. That weapon might never appear
• 29:19
  again because it's very character specific.
• 29:22
  So you know, might maybe in a figure obscure or something,
• 29:26
  maybe they depending, but you know who might use a weapon
• 29:29
  like. That funky folk.
• 29:34
  They use forever. Forever blowing bubbles.
• 29:36
  Yeah, yeah. There's a close up.
• 29:41
  Of the faces. So that's the the skeleton and
• 29:45
  the mask. And yeah, that mask.
• 29:50
  Is very cool. It's that extra level of detail.
• 29:52
  It'd been very easy to just make it a silver mask.
• 29:56
  Yeah, but now it's called the sort of patterning on it and
• 29:58
  everything as well. It makes it look more sinister.
• 30:01
  Doesn't it when you have the pattern?
• 30:03
  Yeah, absolutely. I'd be.
• 30:05
  I mean, I would be scared either way, but it would be.
• 30:07
  I'm more scared now, you know? Yes, the skull as.
• 30:12
  Well, it's got a lot more cracking going on in it than we
• 30:15
  normally see, which has perhaps showing off his age maybe or
• 30:19
  battle hardened. Yeah, definitely.
• 30:25
  And then the beautiful Trevor photo here.
• 30:29
  Yeah, I'm sure Trevor is also super excited to get these in
• 30:33
  hand to take more dynamic. This is quite a dynamic order,
• 30:36
  but you know, these are prototypes.
• 30:38
  So getting the production figure in hand for for Trevor is always
• 30:43
  exciting because he's been working with the prototypes
• 30:48
  weapons. Trevor actually, whether with.
• 30:50
  These photographs, whether you know there's only so many things
• 30:52
  he can do. So again, this is a good pose of
• 30:55
  the prototype, but whether it keeps a little list right, I
• 30:57
  would have liked it on that post.
• 30:59
  And then even if he never shown any, just takes a picture in
• 31:02
  that pose of the with the production figure after that
• 31:06
  with. Most likely, yeah.
• 31:09
  Well, let us know, Trevor. And weapons packs, so just like
• 31:14
  pop them in here. So obviously on the right,
• 31:18
  there's the Dwarf weapons. So lots of different colorways
• 31:21
  of the weapons that you get in the Dwarfs pack.
• 31:25
  And then on. The left here is a lot of the
• 31:27
  new weapons you get with some of the other figures recolored.
• 31:30
  So cool. Axes.
• 31:34
  Swords. Yeah, cool little shorts.
• 31:38
  Or with the scabbard here is really cool and that wooden
• 31:40
  shield is new as well, so. I really like the blue.
• 31:44
  Flaming the torch in the. Yeah, that's a good colour.
• 31:49
  Yeah, because. You get the normal fire colour
• 31:51
  in the with the dwarfs, so you got one for maybe outside or for
• 31:57
  a magic user or something. Yeah, that's good.
• 32:01
  I can't remember whether the. Emporium all in had these
• 32:04
  included or not. Sometimes they I think normally
• 32:08
  they don't. So I might pick these up
• 32:10
  separately, I'm not sure. You didn't or do any.
• 32:13
  Direct order for this wave. No, I didn't.
• 32:15
  No, no, this was. In my very much buying from the
• 32:18
  local reseller base. Whereas now, as we discussed,
• 32:21
  I'm back on the 4 Horsemen bandwagon.
• 32:25
  Yeah, look at that. Dollar exchange rate, yeah,
• 32:27
  exactly. Ragarian, I think definitely an
• 32:33
  under the radar figure. Surprised he wasn't in the in
• 32:37
  the three least orders, but people like the Rogers obviously
• 32:41
  and. So this.
• 32:43
  Is the ogre that was on the box art from going back to the
• 32:48
  original ogre figures? And yeah, you get some
• 32:52
  recoloured. Pauldrons.
• 32:55
  And the weapon from the noble Birch set.
• 32:59
  So cool to get that this the one that the.
• 33:03
  Painted up version they had at the studio for intern looks much
• 33:09
  better sorry than this photograph.
• 33:14
  The colours of the fur are much more much more defined in real
• 33:19
  life. So that's that's increased my
• 33:21
  excitement about getting this guy cool.
• 33:25
  Yeah, and you get the different colours on the body here as
• 33:28
  well. You get the fur and you also get
• 33:29
  this white kind of skin, I guess.
• 33:34
  Excited for him now he's probably.
• 33:38
  The one in the wave that I'm least bothered about, to be
• 33:41
  honest. Booty you, Sir.
• 33:43
  Booty you. It just.
• 33:46
  Yeah, it just. Doesn't do much for me.
• 33:48
  Obviously he's going to get displayed though, because so I
• 33:54
  do true true. True.
• 33:56
  Anyway, I'm sure once a. Game in hand as well.
• 33:58
  They'll be feel a lot and look a lot better.
• 34:00
  You know, it's they're always cool once you get them in hand,
• 34:05
  don't they say? Yeah, they totally are.
• 34:08
  Yeah, Yeah. So brother of Bjorngar Viking
• 34:15
  and two different looks here out-of-the-box.
• 34:18
  So two different heads basically you get brother's own head,
• 34:22
  which is a new new helmeted head with a beard.
• 34:26
  And you also get. Repainted version.
• 34:29
  Of like the Barbarian Legion builder that came in the deluxe
• 34:35
  religion builders and has maybe come within one or two figures
• 34:39
  since. Can't remember the.
• 34:43
  Cool colour of that. Shield.
• 34:45
  That wooden shield with paint on it, kind of swirling blue and
• 34:48
  black. And a bunch of.
• 34:50
  Hands and pauldrons that we now had from Koi.
• 34:56
  Come with him. Oh yes, and furry boots.
• 35:01
  Yeah, I love those furry. Boots, yeah.
• 35:07
  You liked the sky, Richard? Remember this is my.
• 35:09
  Yeah, this is probably my favourite of the the noble bear
• 35:13
  characters in this way, just because you might as well it's
• 35:16
  it's a Viking rather than a barbarian.
• 35:18
  So I'm, yeah, I'm on board of those.
• 35:22
  Yeah, and we get a bit of soft. Goods going over the pauldrons
• 35:24
  as well, this kind of white thing.
• 35:26
  Interested to see how that looks in hand from the factory.
• 35:31
  Yeah. Not, not entirely necessary that
• 35:34
  you can get out. You don't need it, but might be
• 35:37
  a nice look to to have. Yeah, I wasn't.
• 35:39
  I didn't. Remember, I wasn't convinced
• 35:41
  when I saw it in person at Econ, But yeah, we'll see what it's
• 35:45
  like when I'd like it to be weathered.
• 35:47
  To match the fur and boots it would.
• 35:50
  Maybe look? Better, but maybe that's maybe
• 35:53
  they did that in the end. Let's see.
• 35:55
  Or maybe the boots fur is more white.
• 35:58
  Although I think the. Boots fur should be weathered
• 36:00
  because he's a Viking. He's doing Viking stuff.
• 36:03
  He's going to trump in through. Mud and also so it's going to
• 36:06
  splash out but. Yeah, I I can only imagine this
• 36:09
  figure is super popular and you know, he's a real archetype type
• 36:13
  figure and you can make two different dudes out of him
• 36:17
  straight out-of-the-box and a million different guys out of
• 36:20
  them with different head swaps, popping swaps, armours.
• 36:24
  Well, like he's he works with every kind of configuration
• 36:28
  really. There he is in the snow from
• 36:34
  Trevor now the the fur looks better here because it kind of
• 36:38
  goes with the snow. It looks like he's it's carrying
• 36:42
  a dead snowman or something. What my display shelves?
• 36:45
  Are white and the beer with white soak?
• 36:48
  That might bring it out better. Yeah, if he ever makes it to.
• 36:51
  A shelf he will. Slow but he will eventually in
• 36:55
  like 2034 or something. I'm sure you'll get there.
• 37:00
  It'll be your retirement. Present yourself.
• 37:04
  No, I keep, I keep saying it, but I am doing a reshuffle of
• 37:06
  everything at the moment, so. Right, Umbra.
• 37:12
  So horsey, it's a Unicorn in his main configuration.
• 37:20
  That's what Scapular rides. That's what was on the box art
• 37:25
  we showed you earlier. Seen their Unicorn
• 37:28
  configuration. And you can also make a regular
• 37:33
  horse out of him because you've got the.
• 37:37
  The regular. Stuff to to make him into a
• 37:39
  normal horse. So I don't know if that's I
• 37:42
  can't remember if that's a different head or if it's a that
• 37:46
  you can take out the horn and stuff.
• 37:47
  I think it's a different head now.
• 37:49
  You see in my. My memory, I feel as if it was
• 37:53
  something was talked about where, you know, the front of
• 37:55
  the hairpiece. Yeah, I think, yeah.
• 37:58
  It maybe. You could swap.
• 37:59
  That out, but I think it is I think.
• 38:01
  The yeah I think the main and then the front hair bit are just
• 38:04
  swappable so that it can hold where the horn is.
• 38:08
  Is called you this fellow? Yeah.
• 38:11
  Will you display? Him with Scapular then.
• 38:15
  Yes, but whether? Scapular, I'll just be like
• 38:17
  holding the reins rather than sitting on him.
• 38:19
  I don't know. OK, so.
• 38:22
  Like the scapulas, so many. Yeah, Scapulas got so much cool
• 38:25
  stuff on him. I don't sure I want to.
• 38:26
  When you put when you put a figure on a horse, you miss out
• 38:29
  on a lot of the bigger. Yeah.
• 38:31
  Right. You you have all.
• 38:36
  Your dark 4 display just standing beside the horse, don't
• 38:39
  you? Me.
• 38:41
  Yeah. No, my horses.
• 38:45
  Aren't used for any of the dark 4.
• 38:46
  All my horses have been used for different.
• 38:48
  Characters OK and smile. That has them beside them, yes.
• 38:53
  Yeah. I really want to display them
• 38:56
  because he's so cool. But you might have to go and
• 38:59
  stay in his box for like most of the horses I've got for a while
• 39:04
  until I can figure out a bit more, you know, what to do with
• 39:07
  them. Yeah, I didn't.
• 39:10
  The one horse I haven't unboxed yet is Flow Gears because I
• 39:15
  started a big rearranging just around the time that wave come
• 39:17
  and I never got him out and displayed because I didn't have
• 39:21
  the space on that chaff, so I just left it but.
• 39:26
  Now I do, I just need. To get everything back up.
• 39:30
  So yeah, if I do. It'll be he will I think
• 39:32
  Scapular beyond him. I love the figures and the
• 39:34
  horses look cool so. I I.
• 39:38
  Will be done for that but yeah, I love all the tack here, the
• 39:41
  tassels, everything is is awesome and the gold kind of
• 39:45
  headdress just looks extra extra cool, doesn't it like a.
• 39:51
  Different head there, doesn't it?
• 39:52
  But could that be because of it would be in the prototype maybe?
• 39:56
  Yeah, it just doesn't. I don't know how you'd fill in
• 39:59
  that hole from the from the horn.
• 40:03
  We shall see. We shall see.
• 40:04
  I'm sure people will get them soon and we'll know then and.
• 40:10
  Yeah, another. Beautiful picture from Trevor.
• 40:16
  All right, now we're. Talking Exiles under the
• 40:19
  mountain. There's a bunch of looks here,
• 40:22
  so put the the two on the left here, the male and the female.
• 40:25
  They're the two main looks really out-of-the-box.
• 40:32
  Just so many new parts. For dwarfs, this is just opening
• 40:35
  up a whole new world. I think Anthony Hasil is getting
• 40:41
  his 2 packs today, his first delivery.
• 40:44
  So we are we're going to be bombarded with Anthony tomorrow
• 40:49
  and I can't wait. Yeah, it'll.
• 40:51
  Be it? Yeah.
• 40:54
  So yeah, just so exciting here and the Cape here as well, like
• 40:59
  this was just the thing that they popped up at the end.
• 41:02
  It's like, Oh yeah. By the way, they come with a
• 41:03
  Cape as well, or it comes with a Cape.
• 41:06
  So you can do this cool look and that really works the soft goods
• 41:09
  because the the head is bald. You can just pop the the hood up
• 41:14
  on it and you know, doesn't have any hair that's making it kind
• 41:17
  of sit up. It's.
• 41:19
  Just going to sit. Beautifully on the on the figure
• 41:21
  and make it look I'd say it looks like a different guy
• 41:25
  almost with the hood well. You, of course.
• 41:28
  Now we've also if you people bought extras of the Rat King
• 41:34
  they can make they use the legs from that and you can make a
• 41:38
  slightly different configuration for your character as well.
• 41:43
  Yeah, yeah. And especially as those the
• 41:46
  cloth material that kind of it's almost like bit weathered beige
• 41:51
  works perfectly with this colour scheme.
• 41:54
  So yeah, amazing. Here's a couple of other looks
• 41:59
  you can do. So the helmeted head kind of
• 42:05
  fully helmeted and then you got the helmeted with the female
• 42:08
  face inside a bit. Assuming now that's a face.
• 42:13
  Insert but I don't know I. Guess.
• 42:17
  That. Was probably their.
• 42:18
  Intention, but it depends how things worked out with the
• 42:21
  factory. But yeah, you see the.
• 42:24
  Torture as well. Yeah, yeah, super.
• 42:27
  And the torch here is the, as you said, the normal flames.
• 42:34
  Yeah, and just all the. The new dwarf weapons are
• 42:36
  amazing, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's a very.
• 42:40
  Fresh and an update for the dwarves that was way overdue
• 42:44
  really, wasn't it? Everything's been heavily
• 42:47
  armoured up to now with certain types of weapons and this, this
• 42:51
  is awesome. This is, you know, I think we
• 42:54
  can, you can see from the silhouette of the RPG Dwarf that
• 42:58
  they've utilised a bunch of the parts.
• 43:00
  So there you go. If you buy, say, if you're a
• 43:02
  dwarf and by yourself the RPG Dwarf, and you'll have even more
• 43:06
  configurations of parts you can use.
• 43:08
  Yeah, no, expect it's great timing, isn't it, actually,
• 43:11
  Yeah. Yeah, I went all.
• 43:12
  The dwarfs after after this pack, and I think that's one of
• 43:17
  my favourite female scopes they've ever done, yeah.
• 43:21
  It's just, yeah. The head, the braids, the yeah,
• 43:26
  just the expression is is really nice.
• 43:30
  It's. Not angry, but it's not like
• 43:33
  smiling either. And even the the.
• 43:36
  Expression here in the helmet, it's like curious.
• 43:39
  It's at least what it looks like to me.
• 43:43
  Yeah. And then and the shield shield,
• 43:45
  that's much more of a dwarf type shield, isn't it?
• 43:47
  Yes, you know, and I quite like the fact it's small.
• 43:49
  As well sometimes, yeah, the Shields you see on dwarves are
• 43:52
  just enormous and it's, yeah, they're only little people
• 43:55
  anyway, so it's nice to have a smaller Shields going, yeah, I
• 44:00
  mean. It is fantasy, so of course
• 44:02
  these things don't have to be grounded in the in the rules of
• 44:07
  gravity or the real world, but it's still I think more likely a
• 44:11
  dwarf will be carrying a slightly smaller shield just so
• 44:14
  they can run around a bit better.
• 44:20
  And then they're. There in the snow, even that
• 44:23
  shield on the back. Oh, no.
• 44:25
  That he's holding it. Is it?
• 44:27
  He's holding it. I thought that was strapped to
• 44:29
  her back. Yeah.
• 44:31
  Just cool. So cool.
• 44:33
  There's going to be so many, don't you?
• 44:36
  Don't you worry, listeners, there's going to be so many
• 44:40
  pictures of these now in the community over the next two.
• 44:43
  Yeah. And it's going to be all, all
• 44:46
  good. Yeah.
• 44:48
  We might have to look forward. Yeah, Yeah, we might have to.
• 44:52
  If there's if there's so many, we might have to start
• 44:55
  highlighting them. Maybe do do it on a couple of
• 44:58
  shows where we just throw up our favourite photos we've seen that
• 45:03
  week for this wave as they're shipping, just to keep the hype
• 45:08
  going. Manisha Cinderhorn So shadow elf
• 45:13
  people have been looking for shadow elf here, 3 heads here.
• 45:16
  I think that's. That's a surprise, that.
• 45:20
  She was low on the order, considering you can make three
• 45:25
  different figures with her. Yeah, and people have been
• 45:28
  crying. Out for Shadow Elves for a long
• 45:30
  while too, so really surprised that she was solo that but.
• 45:35
  I suppose. Crying out and buying stuff for
• 45:37
  Chihuahua is not always equivalent.
• 45:39
  Yeah, yeah. You excited for her Ridge?
• 45:43
  I am very excited. I love the shadow elves.
• 45:46
  Yeah I'd like a couple on 1.0 bills if I'm honest.
• 45:51
  But that's that's just me. But yes, the RPG might be.
• 45:55
  Might be bringing us a dark elf. I would.
• 45:58
  Imagine this is true. Actually, they said a different.
• 46:00
  Race, didn't they? So that could be a shadow elf.
• 46:03
  That'd be good, no? I'm looking forward to this one
• 46:07
  actually. Yeah, she looks, you know, the
• 46:09
  armour colours and the the face mask and everything like that.
• 46:12
  It's a it's a very good figure. And I got a soft spot for a
• 46:15
  crossbow as well, I have to admit.
• 46:18
  Yeah. Updated design of the crossbow.
• 46:22
  And. Now the.
• 46:24
  Leather boots here for 2.0. Yeah, this.
• 46:27
  I'm she. She's not my favourite but I
• 46:30
  like her for the new parts. We're getting the full, not just
• 46:34
  for 2.0, but for female figures as well.
• 46:39
  You know, I quite like that, that new chest piece, torso
• 46:42
  piece, let's say, because it's a whole.
• 46:44
  And. Yeah, like you say, the leather.
• 46:47
  Soft, the sort of leather. Boots and leather gloves as
• 46:50
  well. I think she's the first one
• 46:51
  that's got those or was the first one with the leather.
• 46:55
  Full leather gauntlet part to the glove.
• 46:57
  Oh yeah. John to interrupt.
• 47:02
  For a second, can you just in big and me for a moment?
• 47:04
  Yeah, if that's a word or ship as a word, but people tend to
• 47:07
  use it, yeah. Mr House Seal.
• 47:13
  He's got and he's posting. Pictures of them on his on his
• 47:16
  knee. Probably the latest excitement.
• 47:19
  I would imagine and let's. Not forget that Anthony is also
• 47:23
  referred to in the bio of the figure so you know, extra, extra
• 47:28
  exciting. Yeah.
• 47:29
  So you imagine the two year way and then imagine you know one of
• 47:32
  them is actually your tribute figures.
• 47:35
  That's amazing. I need.
• 47:37
  A lot of work just to sit there staring at it all day.
• 47:40
  It's like a month. Of work, yeah, yeah, I'll
• 47:47
  definitely display her with the other Shadow elves.
• 47:49
  I like that faction of characters.
• 47:53
  I mean not mythic legions faction, I mean like the faction
• 47:56
  as well. But yeah, the shadow of you'll
• 47:59
  display her with them. Interesting.
• 48:02
  Oh, you won't. No, she'll be in the.
• 48:04
  Sons of the Red Star, OK? I'm quite a stickler for that.
• 48:08
  My custom ones I'll move all over the place, but the actual
• 48:11
  figures I do I do stick with the factions.
• 48:15
  Right. Yeah, I'm not.
• 48:16
  Sure what I'll. Do now you've.
• 48:17
  Yeah, yeah. We'll see.
• 48:24
  Yeah, well, I yeah, I don't know, I do display by faction,
• 48:29
  but I feel like she should be together with the other shadow
• 48:33
  ofs in boxes. I completely.
• 48:34
  Get that? Yeah, yeah.
• 48:35
  Didn't you ever falling out with them?
• 48:37
  Yeah, she did. Yeah.
• 48:38
  It's part it's explained in the bio.
• 48:40
  It's not random for sure. So they could they could be on
• 48:43
  the. Shelf like just making up then
• 48:44
  John. You give a little hug.
• 48:47
  Fatherly daughter, you know, like I'm sorry, Dad.
• 48:50
  Don't worry, love. It's OK, Yeah.
• 48:52
  What I. Can do is just record my own
• 48:55
  personal Canon story and throw that in podcast feed and then
• 48:59
  it's official and then and then we're good yeah sounds good I'm
• 49:04
  going to feel a little. Guilty dremeling out his gloves
• 49:08
  though for something I've got fun for.
• 49:10
  My God. Well, I'm looking.
• 49:14
  Forward to that, right? I'm just going to interrupt like
• 49:17
  Rich did, but I have a slightly better quality photo.
• 49:19
  So this is the photo from and that Anthony I said to put up.
• 49:24
  So just just to show the presentation as well because
• 49:28
  wow. Yeah.
• 49:29
  Oh. I'm so happy.
• 49:31
  I ordered a bunch of these. Yeah, you.
• 49:33
  I only ordered. Yeah, I.
• 49:34
  Didn't order extras, which in hindsight was a big mistake.
• 49:37
  Now I still need to. Pay for some of them.
• 49:39
  So that's tomorrow's. Problem.
• 49:43
  But this is definitely making it easier.
• 49:47
  Wow. Well, Anthony, February, you're
• 49:50
  having a moment and we're all here at your allegiance.
• 49:54
  Very happy for you and very happy for ourselves that we will
• 49:58
  get to experience that in the next couple of weeks.
• 50:02
  There's Manisha. Trevor.
• 50:06
  'S photo of her quite a dynamic one.
• 50:08
  Cool the capes. See Jason again.
• 50:11
  Beautiful. Yeah.
• 50:15
  Right one of Rich. 'S favourites here Yoshini.
• 50:22
  Yeah, he's so cool. He's like that that Mongol
• 50:26
  helmet or the Mongol inspired helmet is is really good.
• 50:30
  I love that. I think initially I was a bit
• 50:32
  like, oh, the armour could be, you know, a bit more vibrant
• 50:36
  maybe, but then I can paint that.
• 50:39
  I think in hand it's. Going to look even better though
• 50:42
  I have a feeling there'll be subtleties on it that that you
• 50:46
  know you don't get from the prototype pictures.
• 50:50
  Maybe it's also a tricky one for.
• 50:51
  Me because I love both the heads.
• 50:54
  So when they first. Showed that helmeted head is
• 50:56
  like, well, yeah, you know, obviously I'm going to display
• 50:58
  like that. And then it showed the other one
• 50:59
  is like, oh, that looks really good as well.
• 51:02
  So I must find a way of distinguishing between the
• 51:04
  trying to make one of them a second character, maybe the
• 51:06
  second character, and find a way to do that.
• 51:11
  Absolutely. I think maybe what?
• 51:14
  Might explain with him is if you don't like the green guys you.
• 51:19
  Know you're kind of stuck. Here with the green hands, green
• 51:21
  feet in the face I. So if you had armoured feet and
• 51:25
  hands and maybe a fully helmeted helmet, I.
• 51:29
  Would also a little bit of that he's he's he's more of a stretch
• 51:35
  in terms of. I don't know because it.
• 51:39
  That wouldn't be reflected across some of the newer waves
• 51:42
  as well, but he feels. You know he doesn't.
• 51:47
  Fit anything that is like an existing thing in more in in
• 51:52
  fantasy. Do you know what to mean?
• 51:53
  Is their own thing or let's. Think about it.
• 51:56
  We all have our budgets and, you know, some people even maybe
• 51:58
  have. Yeah.
• 52:00
  We either have our. Budgets if, you know, we're
• 52:02
  crazy going All in all the time, but maybe we get extras and we
• 52:06
  might not get this guy's an extra if the other extras are
• 52:10
  like the dwarf Tupac and Atlas and Nebay and all these more
• 52:15
  kind of popular type of characters.
• 52:18
  So people might just go right, I got one of him, but I mightn't
• 52:21
  get double S or if I can only get 4 figures, he's probably not
• 52:25
  making the cut. Yeah.
• 52:27
  That might be. Where it's it's more a case of,
• 52:31
  you know, at the time. People's budgets.
• 52:35
  You have to kind of get what you really like, and maybe if you're
• 52:38
  going to leave one behind, it might be.
• 52:41
  These type of. Figures.
• 52:42
  Which means that, you know, when he disappears, he might become
• 52:45
  popular, you know? Yeah, well, I've.
• 52:48
  Got. I've got. 4 of him now on order.
• 52:50
  I'm thinking I might need a couple again, because originally
• 52:52
  I was going to have other other demons in his sort of group sort
• 52:57
  of thing, but now I'm thinking that armour's going to go really
• 53:00
  well with my Simian Federation, yeah as well.
• 53:02
  So if if you're going. To do a bunch of customs with
• 53:05
  that style of armour and you can always swap in, you know, keep
• 53:09
  the keep the general vibe of the armour, which you can swap in
• 53:12
  pauldrons or you could swap in, you know, a different bell piece
• 53:15
  or something like that. And then you're just hands ahead
• 53:20
  and the feet to change it up into an entirely different
• 53:23
  character, you know? Sorry, Rich.
• 53:29
  That's alright. That's alright.
• 53:30
  It was always going to happen. It's a funny one for me because
• 53:35
  again, he's you could sort of said he's probably not in my top
• 53:39
  bloke. It is a wave for me where the
• 53:42
  good guys apart from Scapula kind of dominate what I like the
• 53:46
  most. But I love that second head.
• 53:50
  But I also think he looks so cool with that, like you say,
• 53:55
  the Mongol type head that that it's going to be really hard to
• 54:00
  decide how to display and for sure, yeah.
• 54:04
  Interesting to see, I'm sure. Somebody will do it very quickly
• 54:06
  is to take the face or the helmet off the head.
• 54:10
  You know, normally it's bit of heat and it pops off, doesn't
• 54:12
  it? Yeah.
• 54:13
  Put something else in there instead.
• 54:16
  Oh yeah, we have. We definitely have people that
• 54:18
  will do that. I mean, maybe Noah would be
• 54:22
  someone that is good at that. He does it for the hooded head
• 54:24
  head. So maybe he's going to try and
• 54:27
  get something in in this guy even yeah, you could just put a
• 54:32
  human head in there. Maybe make it a bit of re
• 54:36
  sculpting on it make it slightly more Asian looking.
• 54:40
  That's. Really didn't.
• 54:42
  You. Job Adel Rick is Adel Rick is is
• 54:46
  a little bit Asian looking, isn't he?
• 54:48
  It's like Asian features, maybe. He's definitely meant to be
• 54:51
  Asian. Yeah, yeah.
• 54:55
  Excellent. I'm under my other thought with.
• 54:57
  This guy and it it could go me the way it really is.
• 55:00
  He looks like an orc to the end of rain die.
• 55:02
  It's an orc wearing that sort of armour.
• 55:05
  So maybe that put people off. I mean, a lot of people like
• 55:07
  orcs that might generate more sales, but I think a lot of
• 55:10
  people aren't that fussed about orcs either.
• 55:13
  So that might maybe have impacted on the the pre-orders
• 55:17
  there is a little. Bit of orc fatigue recently I
• 55:22
  noticed. I don't know if it's gone back
• 55:23
  to when this guy was on pre-order, but green orc fatigue
• 55:26
  at least. It's like of all.
• 55:30
  The many, many, many cabal groups out of there, I think the
• 55:34
  one that maybe has the least traffic is the awkward, yeah.
• 55:37
  And I just noticed from, you know, going around on Sunday at
• 55:41
  Legions Con and my on our own table, green orc heads, they
• 55:44
  were still all there. Yeah.
• 55:46
  But that's my very unscientific research on this, John.
• 55:54
  This year, I expect. You to go around an hour before
• 55:56
  closing with a little clipboard, make a note of everything and
• 55:59
  then expect PowerPoint presentation, charts,
• 56:02
  everything. What was left?
• 56:07
  Oh yeah. Will do.
• 56:09
  Will you do the spreadsheet for me?
• 56:11
  Of course. And.
• 56:14
  The. Figure that we.
• 56:15
  Revealed with the horsemen on that day is this Pitar?
• 56:21
  And here he is. I love.
• 56:25
  This. He's so good, yeah.
• 56:27
  Lots of unique stuff on him, the feet, the hands, the helmet,
• 56:35
  Baldrons. Haven't seen them on anyone else
• 56:38
  either. He's.
• 56:43
  Got a torch with cool green flames coming out of it.
• 56:47
  You can make 4 different looks just from his helmet which is
• 56:52
  problematic to your wallet. Ridge very problematic.
• 56:55
  Because I've already reordered an unpainted third party head as
• 56:59
  well, but I want to paint get painted to go on him as well.
• 57:02
  So yeah, I could like 5 without buying an eyelid.
• 57:05
  Here it's a it's a walnut Rainer.
• 57:08
  It is. Yeah.
• 57:10
  Definitely. But he's so good.
• 57:12
  It's a scorpion, it's a snake person.
• 57:14
  It's the combination thereof. It's.
• 57:18
  Yeah, I didn't get a good. Picture here for off the tail,
• 57:20
  but he has a tail as well at the back so and.
• 57:23
  That's for me. That's the only piece that could
• 57:25
  go wrong in the in the production of the figure,
• 57:27
  essentially, yeah, which is we'll be looking forward to
• 57:31
  seeing how that works. I'm hopeful that it'll be fine.
• 57:34
  Yeah, of course, benefit the doubt.
• 57:36
  It will be so, yeah. I was on a little play.
• 57:40
  So last night or the night before with our friend AI trying
• 57:43
  to get a scorpion by anthropomorphic scorpion head
• 57:46
  that I could use on this as well.
• 57:48
  And I couldn't couldn't get it nailed down.
• 57:50
  So I'm interested to see people in in community if people come
• 57:54
  up with a oh, so you were trying?
• 57:56
  To to kind of get your ideas down into a draft form, maybe
• 58:01
  work with somebody on Yeah, gotcha.
• 58:04
  But then I've already. Got 6 spoiler alert 6 sculpts in
• 58:09
  with John Luca this year already and about another 8 lined up.
• 58:13
  So yeah, I've probably got step back from the sculpting, right
• 58:22
  and. There's a menacing look at these
• 58:27
  Pitar. Very, very fantastic.
• 58:32
  Photos. Yes, it's.
• 58:34
  Such a good thing. And I really like the the arms.
• 58:37
  I was looking at the picture again earlier, the the scorpion
• 58:40
  tail on the back of him is like a scorpion.
• 58:43
  So it's got the body, scorpion body.
• 58:44
  And then the scorpion legs are the ones that are coming round
• 58:47
  and holding those two swords in the back.
• 58:49
  Yeah. So it's almost like a parasitic
• 58:51
  sort of creature attached to him as well.
• 58:53
  It's you could do all sorts of things with.
• 58:56
  Yeah. And again, I like a figure that
• 58:59
  can hold all his weapons, you know?
• 59:01
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 59:06
  Bad var. Will bear.
• 59:10
  So I mean, not too much to say other than it's a bear.
• 59:14
  I mean amazing. We finally have a bear in the
• 59:17
  line. I think Atlas probably has to be
• 59:21
  on top of them. It's iconic now from that photo.
• 59:25
  This photo from trolley does look extremely good.
• 59:29
  Standing up as well. Yes.
• 59:34
  And you got the cool saddle. Saddle is removable, so that's.
• 59:39
  That's very. Good, because you can then just
• 59:42
  have a bear without a saddle. So it works for all sorts of
• 59:47
  scenarios. Yeah, can't wait to get this
• 59:50
  guy. You know, they're, they know how
• 59:53
  to do the figures, the big figures these days.
• 59:55
  So it'll be fantastic. Yeah, really, I'm looking.
• 59:59
  Forward and I'm giggling here like a child because it just
• 1:00:01
  popped into my head. The first person that does him
• 1:00:03
  without the saddle stood up, rubbing his back against a tree
• 1:00:08
  like the bears do in real life. I'm looking forward to the first
• 1:00:11
  first photograph that someone pulls off of that.
• 1:00:13
  Yeah. Love it, love it.
• 1:00:20
  OK Navy. See, this is people who probably
• 1:00:28
  heard us talk last week about the Joe Manganello figure, was
• 1:00:33
  it Aksana? And they think of why does why
• 1:00:38
  does he suddenly like this one then didn't like that one.
• 1:00:42
  I can't explain why, but it's just way cooler looking.
• 1:00:49
  I like the style much better. And I suppose just being a
• 1:00:52
  warrior, I don't know, it's awesome.
• 1:00:56
  And look at that head. It's one of the best head
• 1:00:59
  scopes. We were talking about the.
• 1:01:02
  Dwarf, female, dwarf. Look at this.
• 1:01:09
  You fan of Neva? Rich.
• 1:01:11
  What she is, I think she's. Excellent.
• 1:01:14
  Again, you know, my normal issue with Barbarians and the
• 1:01:17
  ridiculousness of the, you know, battle bra and that sort of
• 1:01:20
  stuff. It does make no sense.
• 1:01:23
  More clothes would make more sense.
• 1:01:25
  But for what she is, she's really exceptional and I face
• 1:01:31
  sort of paint as well. It's it's really good.
• 1:01:34
  So I'm looking forward to having her in my collection.
• 1:01:39
  And mouth. Yeah, I thought.
• 1:01:41
  I think she's really, really cool, really like her.
• 1:01:44
  I like the fact that we're getting slightly larger female
• 1:01:48
  figure as well, you know, but this is the the 1.0 female body,
• 1:01:52
  isn't it? And it's, I mean, I like bad ass
• 1:01:56
  barbarian women. You know, I'm hoping we get the.
• 1:02:04
  Female version of. The legendary barbarian on this
• 1:02:07
  sort of body as well, and preferably with red hair to make
• 1:02:12
  a red Sonya out of a mouse. Views do.
• 1:02:15
  Not necessarily represent the views of the Euro Legions
• 1:02:17
  podcast. You can also.
• 1:02:22
  You know, use these arms if you want to like a armoured torso
• 1:02:26
  from another figure. Make a kind of figure with
• 1:02:31
  slightly less muscular arms, male or female.
• 1:02:36
  I think it must be my. Mind.
• 1:02:37
  In my mind I'm thinking she was a bit more like saline colour
• 1:02:40
  wise, no? She was.
• 1:02:43
  It's clearly more. More human flesh tone here,
• 1:02:46
  isn't it? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:47
  Yeah, so she was a frosted, but it's yeah, definitely more
• 1:02:50
  human. Yeah, yeah, she was.
• 1:02:52
  She was, she was human sort of flesh tone, but very, very pale.
• 1:02:56
  Sort of, yeah. Not very.
• 1:03:01
  I can't wait to do my shield with all the arrows in it.
• 1:03:04
  I love that feature, you know, and you can, if you don't want
• 1:03:11
  to give that shield to never give it to another character,
• 1:03:13
  you know, whatever. If you get multiple never is
• 1:03:16
  because you love the figure and you want to make you know
• 1:03:18
  different configurations of females, you can just use the
• 1:03:23
  Shields on your other Vikings or whatever.
• 1:03:26
  We could have a shield walk. And you should have three or
• 1:03:28
  four of them stood there with the Shields in front of them and
• 1:03:29
  the arrows. Yeah, you know that thing.
• 1:03:31
  In those shows where they're where they're kind of slowly
• 1:03:34
  marching forward with all the Shields up, yeah.
• 1:03:38
  Yeah, like the last Kingdom, there's loads of the last
• 1:03:40
  Kingdom, wasn't that? Yeah, Yeah, now.
• 1:03:42
  Often the Shields are more kind of rectangular.
• 1:03:46
  Yeah, shape, but still we're not shield this here.
• 1:03:50
  You could do it around Shields amount is affected, but you can
• 1:03:52
  do it around Shields totally totally.
• 1:03:55
  The all in bonus head, I think this is going to be Unicorn.
• 1:03:58
  So this head only came with the all in.
• 1:04:02
  I went back through the horseman's socials all the way
• 1:04:06
  back to even before this wave, and there was no like.
• 1:04:12
  Really nice picture of it. You know, with the.
• 1:04:15
  Black background. And you know that picture
• 1:04:17
  exists, but it was only shown on the stream, so only had a kind
• 1:04:22
  of a lower quality screen grab from a stream.
• 1:04:24
  So this is from their pop and swaps that Joe and Jeremy did.
• 1:04:29
  So you get a good look at it there.
• 1:04:31
  It's the just on head. So the figure for Justin
• 1:04:36
  Johnson, big fan of the line and dwarfs especially, who
• 1:04:41
  unfortunately passed away and they did a figure in tribute to
• 1:04:46
  him, a one off figure and sold it, you know, like a fundraiser
• 1:04:53
  fundraiser for for his family. And then the person that won in
• 1:04:57
  the fundraiser actually gave a gifted it back to the family.
• 1:05:00
  So he's a fabulous. Gesture.
• 1:05:03
  Yeah, absolutely. No, this is is this.
• 1:05:05
  Rare because it's in the all In, but it's also this colour is
• 1:05:08
  only available direct from the horseman, isn't it?
• 1:05:10
  Yeah, no. That's.
• 1:05:14
  Did the head from. The retailer was actually sold.
• 1:05:20
  You can buy it from a. Retailer the head, Yeah, that's
• 1:05:22
  what. The uniqueness of this.
• 1:05:24
  Is the colorway for sure yeah, the brown, the brown hair and
• 1:05:27
  beard and everything like that. And then this one with the
• 1:05:30
  blonde hair and beard. This is available to retailers.
• 1:05:33
  Do you really like it with the? Blonde hair that I've got to
• 1:05:35
  say, but I'm happy to have the other one as well.
• 1:05:38
  And. Again, a lot.
• 1:05:41
  Of customizers will be able to do the brown if you really want
• 1:05:44
  to do that. So no biggie.
• 1:05:47
  And I think it's it was a tenor new tenors.
• 1:05:50
  And it's another reason to buy. Another one of the dwarf packs.
• 1:05:53
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:05:54
  Because it's actually on one of those figures here, isn't it?
• 1:05:56
  So you can see it. It's.
• 1:05:58
  Yeah. Absolutely.
• 1:06:02
  And then I took some pictures from these.
• 1:06:07
  These next pictures are from the Pop and Swap.
• 1:06:10
  So the Horsemen posted all these after Jeremy and Joe did the Pop
• 1:06:13
  and Swap show. So this is just an idea for some
• 1:06:17
  of the poppin swaps. So you got a dis pitar on
• 1:06:21
  Sligor, You got a dis pitar on OK actors.
• 1:06:26
  So the web store tribute even dis.
• 1:06:30
  Pitar can't help but OK. I just like it but.
• 1:06:36
  Isn't it where I'm, I'm like with the dwarf.
• 1:06:40
  The female dwarf I really like OK?
• 1:06:42
  I think he's really fun. I think it works on him.
• 1:06:47
  As well and you get the feet as well, so.
• 1:06:52
  You could repaint the feet to match.
• 1:06:53
  It's not the most unusual blue he's painted in, is it?
• 1:06:56
  So no. Bunch here.
• 1:07:00
  Monkey King with the Shani armour.
• 1:07:05
  Very cool. Yeah, great.
• 1:07:09
  Kurt Kurzog. Kurzog with the Riggerian
• 1:07:12
  armour, Yeah, looks good. Then you've got.
• 1:07:17
  Scapulars and masked face and scarf on like looks like a Lord
• 1:07:23
  Bashati body. So one of those.
• 1:07:28
  I get the feeling. That mask and you know that that
• 1:07:33
  the the combination at the top on that one, yeah, could be one
• 1:07:38
  that works on a lot of figures, actually, yeah.
• 1:07:43
  I think so too. Yeah, a couple of dwarf switch
• 1:07:47
  UPS here. So using the barbarian head, I
• 1:07:51
  think that head is the one from Brodeur on a dwarf here and
• 1:07:58
  obviously dwarf bear arm build with the exclusive head from the
• 1:08:04
  all in. Pretty simple, but.
• 1:08:07
  Effective here, Yeah, looks. Much better on a dwarf for me
• 1:08:10
  than on a full-sized human. Well, that's your dwarf.
• 1:08:15
  Barbarian dwarf. Oh God.
• 1:08:20
  Blacksmith there. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:23
  Yeah, yeah, totally. And.
• 1:08:28
  Then a couple more here. Red Death on Scapular on on Amir
• 1:08:32
  Kaspar. It works.
• 1:08:36
  I'm not sure about that. I think it's all right.
• 1:08:40
  Nebay. Swapped up with.
• 1:08:41
  A bunch of parts from the dwarf pack, she looks.
• 1:08:44
  Actually going to a club, it's like complaining.
• 1:08:49
  About her not having enough clothes, now she has more
• 1:08:51
  clothes. I think it's just like.
• 1:08:52
  Combination. It's like we've got, you know,
• 1:08:53
  Nebay Battlefield and we've got Nebay Nightclub options.
• 1:08:58
  Stickers. Cue music, one of the.
• 1:09:01
  Pint mugs from the horror vines from Mile pack in there.
• 1:09:08
  And then? A kind of mash up.
• 1:09:11
  Of the dwarf parts and. Some of the other.
• 1:09:15
  Figures to make a full-sized. With the with the.
• 1:09:20
  Broader Helms at head, Yeah, full size, full size 1.0
• 1:09:27
  looking. Character I guess if you want to
• 1:09:30
  do that. Then you know, shiny on an orc.
• 1:09:34
  Obviously the Greens are different, but.
• 1:09:38
  Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, Wouldn't be,
• 1:09:43
  wouldn't be my. Favourite and then ELF.
• 1:09:46
  So an elf. Head.
• 1:09:47
  I think this elf head is from the mythic legions tactics of.
• 1:09:52
  On D sport our. Build with some boots instead of
• 1:09:56
  the feet. Works, doesn't it?
• 1:09:58
  That works really well. Well, I.
• 1:10:02
  Hope we have. The the formal.
• 1:10:08
  As, as what I was just about to refer to the formal has been
• 1:10:11
  well and truly unleashed here tonight.
• 1:10:14
  So that's your rundown of the Rising Suns as we're all about
• 1:10:18
  to receive it. And I think it's a good
• 1:10:19
  refresher. Rather than going back and
• 1:10:22
  seeing what we thought then we we say what we thought now and
• 1:10:25
  what we're excited for at this point when we're actually
• 1:10:27
  getting the figures. So yeah.
• 1:10:30
  Because been a lot of water. Under the bridge since then, you
• 1:10:32
  know, a lot of new parts, a lot of new figures.
• 1:10:35
  We definitely had a different perspective when this wave was
• 1:10:40
  announced to now. That's always what happens.
• 1:10:42
  Normal. But yeah, we're still excited
• 1:10:44
  for it. That's the main thing.
• 1:10:46
  Definitely it it. Well, it's one of those, isn't
• 1:10:49
  it? Could be with the time it takes,
• 1:10:51
  you sort of you leave it, it gets left in the past and then
• 1:10:56
  it comes into hand again and the excitement's there again and
• 1:10:59
  it's so good, so good. Very good.
• 1:11:04
  Well, as we're. Recording on Thursday night.
• 1:11:06
  Should we? Should we leave it at that?
• 1:11:09
  Sounds good to me. Let me.
• 1:11:10
  You're interesting, John. Yeah, not much to do.
• 1:11:15
  It's pretty, pretty clean one. And all I have to say is if
• 1:11:19
  you've listened this far, share it with one person, at least one
• 1:11:22
  person. Share it somewhere, share
• 1:11:24
  whatever version you like. Try and get us out there to more
• 1:11:29
  people. Why not?
• 1:11:32
  We think we're fun. No it doesn't.
• 1:11:37
  We're all right. I know we're fun, so yeah.
• 1:11:42
  Yeah, I always have fun doing it, so I hope other people have
• 1:11:45
  fun listening. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:11:47
  We're we're hopefully not crap at this stage.
• 1:11:53
  And stay safe out there, everybody.
• 1:11:55
  If you see any half naked men or women coming towards you in
• 1:11:58
  snow, runaway is the lunatics well.
