98. Mythic Legions strong start to 2025 · The Euro Legions Podcast

0:35
Welcome to episode 98 of the allegiance podcast and we're
0:39
getting a little 11 more step closer to 100.
0:41
So in two weeks time we should be episode 100.
0:45
So let's see what happens between now and then at the year
0:49
has kicked off at an unbelievable pace, especially
0:52
for mythics. Uh, just every every day there
0:56
seems to be news, there seems to be something going on, there's a
0:59
sale, there's all sorts. But first of all, how are you
1:03
man? I am all good, thank you.
1:07
Back at work and already wishing I was on holiday again, so yeah.
1:12
So yeah. Breathing.
1:15
It's freezing cold everywhere. Yeah.
1:18
And you, Rich? I'm good, Yeah.
1:21
Well, I sound good. I'm not good.
1:22
My back is shots pieces, but other than that, I'm good.
1:25
But I had a deep tissue massage yesterday, which I think has
1:29
helped a little bit, but I'm feeling quite sore today.
1:32
Yeah, basically I was, I was beaten up by a man bigger than
1:34
me, basically. So he was like 65 and he was
1:38
like towering over me. And then, yeah, just pummeled
1:40
me. Yes.
1:41
The thing about getting older, it's, it's, it's more the
1:43
recovery time than, you know, we can all do, you know, something
1:47
that we could maybe do when we're younger, but the recovery
1:49
time afterwards, yeah. But it definitely helped.
1:52
I'm back again next week for a second session sort of thing.
1:55
So. Very good.
1:56
Well, yeah, yes, there's I'm, I'm under instructions to to get
1:59
this done as efficiently as possible so Rich doesn't have to
2:02
sit there suffering in in pain at his back.
2:06
So. So if you're left one more at
2:08
the end of this, then you can just blame Rich, you know?
2:11
Most people do for everything. That's absolutely.
2:14
I mean, if I'm to blame for a lot of it, but that's neither.
2:17
So that's a different story. That's neither exactly.
2:21
Yeah, so we had what did we have a lot going on?
2:24
So the first thing was reign of the beast pre-orders over and
2:27
what did you guys order? Did you go for the all in mail
2:32
at the? Horse, yeah, just an all in from
2:34
store Horseman with the intention of maybe getting
2:37
another All in from Emporium of Cool, but I haven't done that
2:41
just yet because money keeps going out quicker than it's
2:46
coming at this point. Yes, I, I, I feel your pain.
2:51
I think any, any legions fan. So basically anyone listening to
2:54
this is going to be feeling your pain right about now.
2:58
They're they're definitely, I guess they're trying to, to I'm,
3:01
I'm presuming they're trying to tee up the year and knowing that
3:05
we're going to get director anonymous coming in soon.
3:08
And you know, it's going to, it's going to be getting busy
3:11
with all that kind of stuff. And you, Rich, what did you go
3:14
for with the reign of the beast? I didn't order anything.
3:17
I will order it from Emporium a call at some point, so.
3:20
You're doing a retailer, Yeah. Order yeah now isn't at that
3:23
point though I'm so I only put my order in for actually as a
3:25
back vendor like wow so OK, so I'm I'm got the ox crew way for
3:32
to put in at some point and then reign to the beast so.
3:36
Wow. And what's your intention
3:38
though? Is it?
3:38
Was it? Would it be to get all the
3:39
figures from it or? Oh, 100% yeah, yeah, to
3:42
absolutely give me all in. I may get one or two more snake,
3:46
you know? You know me, I'm hit and miss
3:47
with snake men, but there might be a couple of extra snake men
3:49
possibly included as well. Well, The thing is when doing it
3:53
with that tactic, you actually, or maybe better informed because
3:56
you might know if there's going to be, I don't know, different
3:59
types of snakes already coming at that point.
4:01
And maybe you don't need to get an extra royal guard because you
4:04
like the whatever other. Or if there's lizard menu, you
4:08
just don't bother ordering and you go straight to the little
4:10
lizard men. Yeah.
4:12
Fingers crossed this isn't bring them.
4:15
There's a lot of people, I've, I've been in a few chats
4:18
recently where a lot of people seem to be definitely positive
4:21
on lizard men. So you know, you're not alone,
4:24
you're not banging the drum. No, it'd be a no brainer money
4:28
maker for the horsemen. I think they know that as well,
4:30
so we'll see about some. Definitely.
4:33
Yeah, and eh then and I went for an all in at the horseman just
4:39
like my pretty simple shipping was pretty decent and the size
4:44
of the all in is not that bad considering it's AG Conway.
4:48
So you know, would have probably had to lay down almost double
4:52
what we laid down this time. So now that's not to say that
4:56
there isn't other other asks on our wallets.
5:02
So and of course we have the the sceptre of this dragon looming
5:08
right above us in our wallets. It's just hanging there and
5:12
dangling there and actually been, as we talked about before,
5:16
been slightly delayed in terms of the pre-order and we are
5:20
starting to see why with the the news that's that's coming out.
5:25
So the first thing we had this Monday was the in stock sale.
5:29
So it was for the legions con stuff basically.
5:31
And then a bunch of other surprise stuff that wasn't
5:35
exactly a surprise because they had put up a banner picture and
5:39
picture on the website of a lot of the mystery box figures.
5:44
The the ones that they did. So if I just put up on for us on
5:49
the screen here and for watchers on YouTube, go over there and
5:53
subscribe. Even if you don't watch on
5:54
YouTube, go subscribe. You know, Purple gang gang got
5:57
to 1000. We're nowhere near that.
5:59
So you know, do you like them more than us?
6:03
That's my question for you. Also, if you're if you're
6:08
significant other doesn't care about us has YouTube on our
6:11
phone, just go on anyway and. Subscribe.
6:13
You know Microsoft? Yeah, if you have team.
6:18
I can't get my wife or daughter to subscribe side rich.
6:22
I'm trying but like no, we don't know.
6:23
Our algorithms messed up. It's like, brilliant.
6:25
We actually lost. We actually lost, I saw, I was
6:28
checking the the YouTube studio thing today and we actually lost
6:32
a subscriber this week. So oh, it's been going good.
6:35
Whatever we said on that live stream, it's your quiz.
6:39
It's your quiz, it's your fault. I think it was too offensive
6:41
doing that quiz, but yeah, well, not.
6:43
That's why I said, you know, I get blamed for everything quite
6:45
then it is my fault. Exactly.
6:47
But you know what, of the subscribers we have, most of
6:51
them watch it, which is I think a good ratio because usually
6:54
that's not the case. And so, eh, we see here there's
7:01
a lot of stuff the left there. And Rich, we were trying to talk
7:04
you off the Cliff from the Isle of Ferry yesterday after we put
7:07
in an order. You've, yeah, I was going to say
7:10
for now you've managed. I have not gone back and placed
7:12
another order after the first day of order.
7:15
Whether I'll be able to continue managing I don't know, but.
7:18
It's funny because I keep having moments from like, oh, maybe I
7:20
should get another, get another. Well, maybe we should set the
7:27
stall out first by what we actually ordered.
7:29
And about you, Mel, what did you go for?
7:32
Mine's the quickest, easiest and shortest one.
7:35
I went with the red evil armoury knight.
7:38
The what they call in it, the leather, red leather armour and
7:46
a red shield soldier because I've still never gotten a red
7:49
shield soldier. So those sort of stuff it, I'll
7:51
get that. That was a little surprising.
7:53
I didn't realize that was a mystery box, but now that I
7:56
think of it, it was. I went for so rich.
8:01
Your order is complicated, of course, because it's your order.
8:05
And so I I went for SO2 test heavy gunner.
8:10
I had forgotten to get them when I did the order for the sale
8:15
last year. No, I had got some, I had got
8:17
some heavy heavy Gunners, but then I ordered some eh figures,
8:23
eh, when they had, you know, stuff in stock and I've put to
8:27
get some heavy Gunners so. Obviously, eh Legions Con John,
8:30
you managed to pick some heavy Gunners, no?
8:32
I honestly forgot that's Yeah, I think I just mentally bought
8:36
them. So I forgot then I forgot to buy
8:38
them, you know, so I already put them in the cart before the
8:43
sale. So that because I thought that
8:44
stuff like the minion infantry would go very quickly
8:47
especially. And he did eventually sell, sell
8:51
out within the day. He was basically sold out just
8:55
after they lifted the limits 24 hours later and I got two more
9:00
dice, D20, because they're just cool.
9:02
And now I can have have a couple of those on top of the.
9:08
Was it one or two I got? At least it's got maybe 2.
9:12
I got 3,000,000 infantry. That was the limit.
9:15
I got a gun medal, Armory, knife knight.
9:18
That was the one I'd maybe spoken about before that I saw
9:21
in someone's backpack going out of the Armory and I was like
9:25
damn, I should have got one of them and still didn't.
9:28
And then when I went to get it on the at the Legions con, it
9:31
was gone. I got a gas bar mainly for the
9:34
wrist, wrist wraps and the ankle wraps.
9:40
I got 2 Tusk Experiment CC 24, so that's the Novian Lean Tusk.
9:45
He's just awesome, really awesome.
9:48
And I got 1 red evil Armour Knight because remember, I
9:52
didn't get the red knight torso, all my stuff.
9:56
I have all the red knight parts except the torso.
9:59
So I wanted one fully armoured at night.
10:04
So he's going to be it now, so I can maybe reuse the other parts
10:07
for different stuff that I have leftover.
10:09
I got to go rich then as well just for parts as well.
10:12
Not particularly. You don't need an extra of that
10:16
figure, but had good parts. So that's what I got.
10:20
So, Rich, what did? What did you get?
10:23
Yeah, what didn't like? No, for me, this is a relatively
10:26
calm order. It was only 15 figures, so.
10:32
So I got red evil armor on the night I got the red armour with
10:38
the red leather as well. From that they can be part of a
10:41
little 3 figure group that I'm having my display because I got
10:44
one that legions con as well. I got a purple evil knight.
10:50
I've got, I've got one of those already, different helmet, but
10:53
basically pretty much the same build.
10:54
They've got allegiance cons. I've got plans for those two now
10:57
in the order of Ethan and I got a green.
11:01
Evil in the order of Ethron. Not evil.
11:04
They they they're going to be like anti hero order of Ethron.
11:07
Sort of figures. Yeah, so they're they're still
11:10
doing good, but people aren't quite convinced about them.
11:14
And a green heroic knight who's going to be my like Green knight
11:18
character sort of thing. So treatment head on or
11:21
something like that. Yeah, that's a cool one.
11:24
I've got 22 garage because like you, John, they're just good for
11:27
parts. So no particular plans, but just
11:29
a couple of those. I got three of the Cosmic
11:33
Magnus, the A 21. I've got a plan for the other
11:37
two. I'm sure I'll find plans for
11:39
Bruce. I love the Logan lean setup.
11:42
So it's like that, but more military and darker.
11:44
So that that's good. Unfortunately, I came up with a
11:47
really brilliant idea about how I'd use the CC 24 figure.
11:51
So I ended up buying five of those.
11:54
That's one cosmic affiliation that's basically you filled out
11:56
and. You get extra feet with him.
11:58
So that's a that's a bull, yes. And he gets vaccine feet.
12:02
So, yeah, so the slug head that you painted for me, John, that
12:06
will be going on. Oh yeah.
12:08
That's a perfect one. Yeah, and then there's four
12:11
others I'm going to use for you. Do you remember, you guys
12:13
remember the cybernetic sea creatures I got from Borderland
12:17
Horde then? Yeah, they're, they're going to
12:20
go on the other ones. So and then I got a Tusk heavy
12:24
gunner. I had two of them upstairs,
12:26
which are not really using for anything at the moment.
12:28
And then I had an inspired idea about how I could use them, but
12:31
I needed three, so I bought another one.
12:34
Cool. And then I had the fun and games
12:36
of having done the checking about shipping and import tax
12:40
and that sort of stuff. It worked out cheaper for me to
12:43
order them in groups of three so I put 5 orders through which is
12:48
crazy but it's cheap away doing it.
12:50
Same same stuff. About £70.
12:55
Well worth it. Unfortunately, that much.
12:57
So I'm shocked that, you know, you didn't get it like a credit
13:00
card kind of flag for, for all these repeat orders at the same
13:04
shop. It, it does look dodgy.
13:07
You know, that's so if I was, I used to work in a bank and if I
13:12
saw transactions like that, I would be like, no, they're too
13:15
small generally to be flagged up, but still.
13:21
And yes, and for some reason when I was putting the order
13:24
through it kept defaulting to my mum's address.
13:27
I've not heard it 1 so so one of the sets of three is off to my
13:30
mum when it gets posted out so I need to let her know that.
13:33
She loves that. What was she getting?
13:35
She's getting three of the CC-20 fours she's getting.
13:40
Like why didn't they get three different ones?
13:42
Yeah, why where the multi coloured lights you're talking
13:44
about? What's going on?
13:47
I tell you that the the AA20 Tusk, I was going to get more of
13:52
him and then I realized I have a lot of Novian lean leans that I
13:56
got last year and I was only going to be painting them up
14:00
anyway so I can just use those. So it saved me the hassle.
14:06
But you know, it's a great figure and stuff and I got 2
14:09
Allegiance console. You know I'm going to use those
14:12
probably in my own collection, you know, right.
14:16
And did you see the only the only one that didn't sell out of
14:23
the? Shock horror.
14:26
Is hagnon of the. Mystery blocker Hagnon's
14:28
awesome. He's all he's he's awesome, and
14:31
he was awesome back in Advent of Decay.
14:33
But we didn't get the second one, or at least most of us
14:36
probably didn't need a second one.
14:38
And yeah, we didn't need him to be probably remade either.
14:43
For anyone listening to the views and John and Mal are not
14:46
the total views of the Euro Allegiance podcast.
14:49
I don't like him. I'm kind of.
14:53
Middle. I'm in the middle a bit.
14:54
And you were totally on the one end and Malice totally on the
14:58
other. So yeah, Yeah.
15:00
And the dice is also sold out. No So.
15:04
See, I didn't have a dice. I didn't.
15:05
I forgot to pick one up allegiance comp from the game
15:07
out free. And then because I'm a grumpy so
15:10
and so, I'm not paying money so I could have got free no so.
15:15
I was going to give you one now, but if you're that way, I'm
15:20
like, why should I pay for one and then give it to him?
15:23
Because these two princesses are cheap to buy.
15:28
Anyway, that was. Thanks Mal, that was the I like
15:30
John Principle thing better. Yeah, that was the in stock
15:35
sale. And just to say quickly on the
15:39
reign of the Beasts pre-order and the the the retailer pricing
15:44
is up as well. So Leah disease is now 100 which
15:47
is $100 or the euro equivalent or you just convert that dollars
15:53
into 100 British pounds. Whatever FX rate that is, it's
15:57
not the right one. Equivalent 127 dollars or
16:00
something at the. Moment so they do a little FX
16:02
it's like PayPal or they just eat all your your transaction in
16:08
foreign charges. So that's I suppose that's the
16:13
markup to expect really, but it's just you don't think about
16:17
it. You know the markup for the
16:20
standard figures. So you just think, OK, the 40,
16:23
the 40 is a $37 slash $40 figures are now 50 which and the
16:31
deluxe ones are 55. So that's basically in the Royal
16:35
Guard, an area who was another $5 more expensive on the
16:41
pre-order is 60 because she has the little mini dragon, I think.
16:45
So that's what made her a bit more expensive.
16:48
And the genome he would have been like the equivalent of ogre
16:52
pricing. And he's now $75 and the the so
16:57
that's you know where it's about 3 like it's €72.
17:02
The the $50 figures are €48. So yeah as to be expected and I
17:09
think the all in I saw was about 420 odd EUR and I think you're
17:16
420 something pounds. Was it from Emporium?
17:20
Yeah, so so it would have been a good saving.
17:23
I think probably on the if you order direct on the pre-order.
17:27
How much was the all in? Sorry.
17:31
The all in was 300 and sorry €428.00 and I think probably 420
17:38
lbs. Yeah.
17:40
Yeah, so and they all in direct from the Horseman was 325 plus
17:47
shipping which was still less than 400.
17:51
It's probably about the same then.
17:54
Yeah, I think I was. I work, I come and be off to my
17:57
head now, but I work, I try to work it out roughly what it
18:00
would be. And I thought it might be 415,
18:02
the all in in the UK, Yeah, which I think would have been
18:04
about £30 more in total once you factored in shipping and taxes
18:08
and everything else. So yeah, not much of a
18:11
difference. The big benefit for me now is
18:13
that it's paid for and yeah, that we get it a little bit
18:18
earlier than the retailers for the show purposes, which is
18:21
really useful for, you know, we don't want to be reviewing the
18:25
figures six months after they come out.
18:28
Now you, now you're telling me that.
18:30
You can give us your impression six months after they come out
18:32
there we go. So yeah, that's that's that.
18:37
And so we. I'll tell you what guys, we
18:41
could do a new episode so we can have you guys reviewing the
18:43
figures and then we can have a review version 2-3 months later
18:47
when I get them and then I can give my take on them.
18:49
Rich's reviews There's a there's a page on series.
18:52
Oh, Rich's reviews. There we go, he starts.
18:55
With Nigel, I could do all sorts of Richie.
18:57
Reviews something that came out six months ago.
19:02
It's a banana sellotape to a wall.
19:06
Be like here's a list of people that said they love this figure.
19:08
I've looked at it. It's OK, but no better.
19:10
So you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.
19:12
You're. Look at this post, look at look
19:16
at what Dorklare said about this thing.
19:22
Right, let's get on to, uh, some other stuff, some other news
19:27
that was revealed. So Forestman Studios, uh, is
19:31
excited to be returned to Georgia for the third year in a
19:34
row and introducing our this is to Toy Lanta.
19:39
And they're introducing their first ever show figure, ATL 25.
19:45
And they said they decided to develop a special release for
19:47
Toy Lanta. We knew we wanted it to be
19:50
something different from our current legions lines.
19:53
So this is not a cosmic legions, not a mythic legion.
19:56
It's in the same kind of category as the mistress and
20:02
Skull Man. Yeah, Skull Man.
20:07
So it's an artillery artillery team leader code named ATL 25 S
20:14
ATL is for Atlanta 25/20/25. It's not a homage to any
20:20
particular character, although I think we have definitely the
20:26
feeling that it looks like Roadblock from GI Joe.
20:30
It's a tad similar. See that?
20:31
Yeah. So the show version will make
20:34
its debut on the 28th of March to the 30th of March of Toy
20:39
Lanta. And the figure comes, we'll
20:43
we'll show. We'll show what the figure comes
20:45
with now in the next couple of slides.
20:48
And there's going to be an exclusive third head, a stone
20:52
baton and a riot shield. And these are exclusive to the
20:55
con. And these are the bits that Mal
20:58
really wants. They seem to, well, they seem to
21:03
know exactly what you want and always make it an exclusive.
21:05
The same with the translucent stuff.
21:07
Yeah. What you going to do?
21:12
What you going to do? I just could have to live with
21:15
the fact that I can't get it. Yeah, well, we know lots, we
21:20
know lots of nice members of the Cabal, don't we?
21:22
So I'm sure some. Extra stuff for them to do,
21:25
isn't it? That's true, yeah.
21:27
But I'm sure everyone that's not going is looking for it.
21:31
So it's. The shield more than anything,
21:32
the baton and the extra head, not so fussed about.
21:35
It's that shield. It looks so cool.
21:37
Yeah, but I think even with the mistrust, it wasn't that hard to
21:41
get the translucent head in the end.
21:44
So we'll see. So it'll be sold directly by the
21:49
Thailand team, not the Four Horsemen.
21:51
And they say they'll have lots of other legions for sale at
21:56
that show. So, you know, should still hit
21:58
them up, of course. And the standard version of this
22:01
guy will be available store horsemen later in the year.
22:05
So if you want more details on how to get, I think this is if
22:10
you get AVIP ticket for Thailand, you can already order
22:13
with the figure, but you can also get the figure at the table
22:18
there. Yeah, in the in toy Lanta, the
22:22
toy Lanta table at the toy Lanta.
22:24
So awesome shot here from Trevor, kind of an action shot
22:30
in a kind of jungle scene. Looks like a scene at a Predator
22:33
or something like this. First Predator obviously going
22:39
to. Say that looks nothing like LA
22:42
in the second one. First one in the jungle.
22:45
And so, yeah, he's he's awesome. What do you guys think of this
22:50
guy? Mal, you're on mute.
22:55
Sorry. I think I think he's awesome.
23:01
I absolutely love him. I think the camo Paint app is is
23:05
absolutely fantastic. Yeah.
23:09
The camel and I like the. Fact.
23:11
I mean, I know it's realistically the along with the
23:14
heavy gun, the bit that everyone goes, Oh, it's roadblock is the
23:17
beard and the darker skin tone and and I just think, I mean,
23:25
but that looks really it's it's cool that we've got, you know,
23:28
in cosmic, we've got to that skin tone character, you know,
23:34
for the characters. Not cosmic though.
23:36
No, he's not. He's actually, I mean, the way
23:38
it was talked about, he's actually kind of just meant to
23:40
be a military guy, but he works so well.
23:42
I mean, you give him the helmet though, and it starts to be a
23:44
bit more futuristic, doesn't it? And the gun?
23:46
Yeah, but somebody said that there's no way that guy would
23:50
wear sleeves. So it's a different character
23:53
when when it comes to the the cosmic guy, the cosmic looking
23:58
one with the hell. But yeah, I'll definitely buy in
24:00
a bunch of these standard ones anyway, so yeah, yeah.
24:06
Yeah, I'm, I mean, it's always this case, I guess with the
24:09
exclusive parts. I'm I'm fine with it because it
24:12
doesn't, it's not anything with the main part of the figure, you
24:15
know, you don't. I always hate when maybe if it
24:20
was like a certain colorway or something, you know, if the, the
24:24
something like that. So yeah, you know, accessories
24:28
or an extra head. That's pretty cool.
24:31
Rich, what do you think of it? I absolutely hate it with a
24:35
passion. And do you know why I hate it?
24:39
Because you want loads. Because I want to get lots of
24:41
them making colonial Marines and I've sworn that Cosmere would be
24:45
human free, but now I really want to have colonial marines.
24:50
So damn you 4 horsemen. Yeah.
24:54
So for that reason I hate it. But I have been already looking
24:57
at, you know, human cosmic head sculpts and that sort of thing.
25:00
And it's. To go on.
25:03
Yeah. So I have to figure out a way
25:05
that there's some sort of portal that throws them from 1
25:07
franchise to another. So they're not technically from
25:10
Cosmetium, but there is it. A stroke of a pen, you know, And
25:13
that can all be solved, yeah. But the figure itself in the
25:17
build is great. I love that the camo paint that
25:19
the noise is super. The camo paint makes me want to
25:22
do a custom now myself with the club parts where I do a
25:26
different camo pattern, you know, maybe with blue and brown
25:30
and yellow or something instead of a blue and black and yellow
25:33
or something. Just the planets going to have
25:37
different colour foliage and that's something potentially,
25:39
yeah, that's it. Yeah, and also if it's if, if my
25:43
version is rubbish, I never have to post pictures.
25:45
So don't forget that if you're customizing and you're like, oh,
25:52
why does that guy always have such great pictures?
25:54
This because he only posts the good ones like everybody else.
25:58
And he has a big pile of ones that he does he's not happy
26:01
with, just like you do. And right, this is the
26:05
accessories. I always loved the accessories
26:07
shot. So you get the backpack as well,
26:09
The Vorga backpack with more awesome, a different paint
26:15
scheme again. And the pauldrons.
26:17
Those pauldrons are extremely versatile.
26:20
I've painted them up recently for customs and you just, once
26:24
you paint them a different color, you don't seem to notice
26:27
the repetition. Whereas we say like the evil
26:30
pauldrons in mythics, once they're on a couple of figures,
26:34
they start to get repetitive. Whereas these I feel are.
26:37
So I don't know if it's just that they're kind of an
26:41
inoffensive kind of shape. They don't stand out.
26:44
So you're not noticing them be kind of repeated once the colour
26:49
is different or, you know, on a different style figure, it's
26:54
kind of cool and you get a, we get a big gun.
26:56
So I'm a. Camo painted gun is awesome as
27:00
well. Yeah.
27:01
Or is that? That's not an exclusive pie, is
27:02
it? No, no.
27:04
You have a painted guns. Yeah, this is the problem that
27:07
would have hurt, you know, good as the machine ammo fainting.
27:11
So this is like that. This is the exclusive.
27:17
So the head. No, sorry, the head.
27:21
The shield in that pictures the. Exclusive in this pictures the
27:23
shield and then on the right side of the pictures the stuff
27:27
so it's the button and the head so.
27:31
So does he come with? He comes with three both camo
27:36
arms and so in bear. Arms, yeah, and.
27:41
Yeah, yeah. OK.
27:42
That's cool. That's very.
27:43
Cool. So it's a bit like very good
27:45
value as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:47
Lee J But yeah. Is it Lee J?
27:49
Yeah. And armoured and a shadow circle
27:52
as well. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:54
Your man. Figure of the year for many
27:57
people. FIFA Vice.
27:58
Yeah, yeah. Which affiliations in MA?
28:03
Shadow Circle the adventure? No, I don't know.
28:07
I've already forgotten. The unaffiliated Citizens of
28:11
Cosmere, which affiliations the unaffiliated.
28:15
Yeah. Right, let's click forward here
28:20
to the book. So we got the the mythic
28:25
Legion's first ten years. So this is not the Lord book.
28:30
This is the toy guide book. So think of if you're a he man
28:33
fan, think of that pixel Dan book, one lovely clean page per
28:36
figure with all the product photos, the bio, a little bit of
28:42
trivia and lore behind the figures.
28:45
And that's what this is. And it goes all the way up to
28:48
the ashes of egg Bendor, I believe.
28:50
So that's that's what it covers. So they say they're excited to
28:55
announce the first ten years book would be available to
28:57
preorderstorehorseman.com on Monday the January the 13th and
29:03
it goes on to February 2nd. And book features 360 pages of
29:07
images and information covering the first decade of the Mythic
29:11
Legions line, with pages for every figure released during
29:14
that span, along with character information behind the scenes.
29:17
Details on these toys and the book will be offered at a
29:22
special price of 4999 until Sunday, February 2nd.
29:26
Which leads me to believe that when the book is out and may be
29:31
available, I chose it will not be 4999.
29:35
Yes, it sounds like it was in. Yeah.
29:37
Well, Jeremy did say it will also be available at retailers,
29:41
but yes, it will be more expensive at retailers.
29:43
OK. It'll be at retailers.
29:46
Interesting to see the shipping on it then how that might work.
29:50
That could be a clincher, OK, because it's pretty very
29:55
expensive to ship a book broad. So anyway.
29:59
Do they say? Do they say when the book's
30:00
coming out? Yeah, we get to their Nope,
30:03
sorry. That's OK.
30:05
But yeah, the book is coming, I think by the end of the summer,
30:09
he said. Yeah, it's just about ready to
30:11
go to the printer and it's says it here ship by the end of the
30:16
summer 2025. My eyes not gonna spot that.
30:19
Yeah, yeah, no problem. And they said join Jeremy and
30:24
Trevor Williams, who's Trevor was did a lot of the photography
30:28
or all of the photography work I guess on the book.
30:32
And he was talking to Jeremy this week on the Mythic
30:35
Conversations show on the YouTube channel Mythic Customs.
30:39
So you've probably all watched that if you're watching this
30:43
show because they get more, he gets a lot more views than us on
30:47
YouTube. I'm pretty sure we don't need to
30:52
cover exactly what they said about the book, but pretty cool.
30:57
And it also comes with this awesome guy, which is the Silver
31:05
Knight Legion builder. And this will be offered for
31:11
pre-order at the same time. So 13th of February store
31:15
horseman.com. The Silver Knight is the from
31:18
the very first mythic legions release was the last or the lone
31:21
remaining legion builder from that Kickstarter wave that we
31:26
had yet to reissue. And so they've done a updated
31:30
release and to go along with the book chronicling the 1st 10
31:36
years of the line. So it's a nice little bit of
31:38
symmetry there, I suppose. And so it's an update on the
31:41
initial release. It uses the newest pieces from
31:44
the parts library, including the Valiant night arms.
31:46
So you get the, you know, possibility to do the the two
31:49
handed sword, etcetera, etcetera.
31:51
And it's a lot easier to articulate.
31:55
And it comes with the one head, but two different visors and two
32:01
different plume options, which we'll have a look at in the 2nd.
32:04
And it comes with the skate shield with the Horseman skull
32:08
logo, which is why that would make me want as many as
32:13
possible. It'll be $30.00.
32:16
So that's a pretty good price for that because it's, even
32:19
though it's a Legion builder and now has a lot more paint apps
32:22
and a lot more stuff. And they'll also have a special
32:26
12 pack set for 325 S Rather than writing it in the bio this
32:31
time, you know that there are 12.
32:33
Jeremy just says here is a group of 12 and you can buy it so.
32:37
The bio at the bottom it says they they often hang about in a
32:40
box of 12, case of 12. Interesting enough now if you if
32:48
you get your your glasses on there, we do have a bio for this
32:52
figure. It's a short enough one, but
32:53
it's so I think. Maybe they I just thought maybe
32:57
they come in the box of 12. So it takes 12 Spears to hold a
33:00
skeleton down. And for each major, for each
33:08
major joint. What's what's it under his order
33:14
of ether on? Is it under there on the site
33:16
yet? Should be our special.
33:19
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So while the forces of Etheros
33:26
are mostly commonly known for the Order of the Templar
33:28
Knights, or the Holy Paladins and battle clerics who fight in
33:32
the name of the Crowned Eagle, it is the vast ranks of Silver
33:35
Knights who make up the front lines of the Order of Etheron's
33:38
army. Fearless soldiers who have taken
33:41
a sacred oath to protect the realm.
33:43
They're the first line of defence against the undead
33:45
horrors pouring forth from the House of Blessed Bone.
33:50
There you go. So yeah, they're and
33:53
appropriately with the Trevor's awesome photography, they're
33:57
basically first line of defence against the Skelly Wellies.
34:00
So. So they the equivalent of the
34:05
cannon follow them basically. Pretty much.
34:07
So you need to be. That way, yeah, 12 might not be
34:11
enough, unless you want skeletons to win, of course.
34:15
So, yeah, so here's a couple of shots, one of all the
34:20
accessories, CC, all the bits you get there and that's the Sir
34:24
Adleric helmet I believe and so. I think you're right, yes.
34:31
That face plate? Yeah, it is.
34:32
Yeah, definitely. That face plate, it would be
34:36
interchangeable I suppose. Ah, so you could turn one of
34:38
them into a skeleton then without.
34:41
Scan Yeah, and also, well, that's a good one.
34:45
Skeleton in disguise in the inside each surround.
34:48
Another one Rich. And I think Sir Andrew's the
34:54
same helmet as well. So his face plate as well would
34:59
also be inter swappable. So if you've got an extra Sir
35:04
Andrew and wanted to use a different head and like a custom
35:06
head, then you could maybe repaint that little face plate
35:10
or something like that, or even just use the face plate and have
35:12
an extra Silver Knight dude. But yeah, a lot of cool stuff.
35:17
Obviously a cool belt sword with the scabbard and you also get
35:22
the normal regular round attachment for the shield as
35:25
well. So if you want to have one super
35:27
charged up Horseman Knight and couple of ranking guys behind
35:34
them. Well, Jared, it's a really dare
35:37
to do that. Oh Jeremy made the point that
35:41
this armour color will match. Oh, the night builder from Is it
35:46
the Blue? Oh yeah, I actually it's Blue
35:48
Shield. The Blue Shield.
35:49
I asked him what silver is it closest to and he said the Blue
35:52
Shield. That was all the parts of the
35:55
Blue Shield Soldier with this one as well.
35:58
Which is good because I think he got a couple of the older
36:00
helmets with that one as well. So.
36:04
So that's nice to be able to, you know, make a throwback Blue
36:07
Shield Silver Knight. Yeah, so very good.
36:14
So that's that's him. They ship separately.
36:19
And so The thing is you'll get 2 shipping charges if you order
36:23
them together with the book. So that would be interesting to
36:27
see how that works out. But as it's a, as it's a
36:29
pre-order and not a kind of fastest finger in stock, we'll
36:35
be able to, you know, look and see if there's something really
36:39
funny. We could of course reach out to
36:41
them and say this is really the way it is.
36:43
But let's just assume it's going to be similar pricing to what we
36:47
normally expect. So the book is the obviously the
36:50
shipping pricing which would be interesting because.
36:52
Yeah, it's not heavy. Well, yeah, and that's also
36:56
just, we're not used to buying books from them, so we don't
37:01
know when they don't. I suppose they don't ship it so.
37:05
Size as well, isn't it? It's not just.
37:06
Yeah. Well, that's the thing.
37:07
If it's going to be if they currently ship a lot of stuff
37:11
with say FedEx and whatever other services they use in
37:15
America, maybe they have a dimensional deal instead of a by
37:18
weight deal. So maybe as long as the size of
37:22
the book is kind of like the size of four figures, then maybe
37:26
it's that's the shipping cost. It's going to be, I don't know,
37:29
something like that. So we see or we'll just have to
37:32
do a group order of books. Maybe if, if the shipping cross
37:35
cost for say three books is similar to one book, we could do
37:39
something with the book, you know, and then, you know, surely
37:44
I'll add to be over in UK or, you know, you guys can come
37:47
visit and I'm not shipping a book that will go over the two
37:54
kilos, whatever. It's The thing is.
37:57
So couple of other interesting things.
38:00
So I, I took a little I took a little sound clip from from the
38:07
show. So if we listen to this, just 30
38:09
seconds of Jeremy and he's talking to Trevor.
38:12
So you don't really hear Trevor saying anything, but you might
38:14
hear Trevor in the background just agreeing with them or
38:16
whatever. So we can just talk about this.
38:19
We have so much in the production queue when it comes
38:23
to you know, Necronominus is already on the way.
38:25
All Star 6 has begun. As soon as they're done All Star
38:29
Six, we're very much looking that they're going right into
38:32
cosmic regions. After that, a figure like this,
38:37
it just needs to find a place to get slotted in.
38:40
We have so much going on at the factory right now that that's
38:44
one of the challenges is just finding a place to slide in that
38:47
production. So he's talking about obviously
38:50
the Silver Knight and where they'll get it in.
38:53
But I think what I took from that is that basically just have
38:56
stuff going through the factory, a lot of stuff, and we're going
39:00
to get a lot of stuff this year. So if we already think we're
39:03
getting Necronomics and All Star 6, it seems guaranteed they're
39:07
the 1st 2 deliveries we're going to get this year of pre-ordered
39:11
stuff and then straight into Cosmic Ox Crew book 1.
39:17
That's going to come probably summertime then.
39:21
And then they said Ashes the back Bender would be kind of 12
39:25
months after the pre-order or so.
39:26
So they'd probably be trying to push that through as well at the
39:29
same time, so. We're going.
39:32
To be swimming our awards show next year is going to be an
39:35
absolute behemoth. We might have to do 2 parter.
39:37
Yeah, it's going to be good. Going to be.
39:42
What do you think, Rich? I'm very excited.
39:45
I'm very happy that I paid for all this already.
39:49
It's all new. I mean, I'm obviously going to
39:51
get multiples of some things I'll do that at, at retail or
39:55
Allegiance Con, presuming they don't sell out everything
39:58
beforehand sort of thing. So I'm very excited.
39:59
And obviously I've got, you know, my display room in my head
40:02
is turned into the TARDIS, so it looks tiny, but actually once
40:05
you go in, there's endless display space.
40:07
So I'll be fine to pull this stuff up.
40:11
Of course. Yeah, that's how it works, yeah.
40:13
Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, and you, Mel?
40:17
Yeah, very excited as well. Yeah, it's going to be display
40:20
space that's going to be difficult.
40:23
Maybe you need to also start thinking about what to what can
40:27
go and other lines as the few other people have done to maybe
40:32
don't need. But yeah, can't wait, can't wait
40:36
to get some of it's going. Some of it's, it's taken the the
40:41
line to the next level, some of it isn't it.
40:43
So we can't wait to get it in hand.
40:45
Yeah, those sort of like bigger space suits.
40:49
Cannot wait to get those. I saw I saw really interesting
40:52
posts from Dennis Derby and he's he's often Dennis is often eh, I
40:57
won't say trolling on the cabal, but he's often eh, you know,
41:02
poking people, you know, for always advertising their shows.
41:05
I suppose also as well, but you know, on this kind of thing or
41:08
posting, but you know, too much stuff.
41:10
Uh, he, he actually in a kind of a serious post said that he
41:14
actually snoozes the cabal and the time between when orders
41:18
start to deliver. So like when Necronomic starts
41:20
to arrive until he gets his and starts to customize with it
41:24
because he doesn't want to see what other people are doing in
41:28
their customs because he feels, I guess he feels like he'll get
41:34
influenced or he gets a he sees someone do a custom.
41:37
He's planned in the hill. I don't want to do that.
41:40
So he'd rather stick to his. You know, it's an interesting
41:44
concept. I don't think we can do it
41:46
because we redo a show. So I was.
41:49
Going to say I'd have to snooze a kebab for three months.
41:51
Yeah, it's not really going to work.
41:53
You're not going to be able to keep up to date with the kind of
41:55
stuff we want to to know about. And I'm not talking about
41:59
posting the kebab because I actually don't think there's any
42:01
point in posting the show in the kebab because nobody sees it and
42:04
or nobody clicks on it. So, and it's the same for most
42:09
people that that advertise their stuff.
42:11
So I think people are more interested in either somebody
42:15
posting something controversial or cool photos and customs,
42:20
which I understand, understand the latter anyway, for sure.
42:24
And to an extent, the former, because.
42:27
So this is fun. It's like watching the car
42:28
crash. Yeah.
42:30
Or the aftermath. It's, it's.
42:32
You don't want that. You don't want to really see it.
42:33
But you can't look away, you know?
42:35
Like the in stock just immediately people were like,
42:37
oh, but I. Wanted somewhere that was, that
42:40
was. But some of that was very
42:41
stupid. Yeah, yeah, it's very stupid.
42:43
The Armory Knights are too expensive.
42:45
No, it's not just ridiculous. We agreed to that.
42:49
We were sad they weren't 60 after seeing those.
42:52
Yeah, you know, we had to. We had to try and deal with Big
42:57
Greg telling us what to do. Exactly.
43:03
Only went in to buy 2. I came out with eight.
43:05
That's all big, Greg. And we'd already spent a grand
43:09
and a half just to get there. But anyway, right.
43:13
So to round this episode out and save Rich's back, we've got a
43:17
couple of Patreon questions. So we're we're good for those
43:20
guys. Yeah, yeah, right.
43:24
We had those. But yes, I can answer on the
43:26
fly, that's fine. Oh yeah, I did tell you to have
43:28
a look. I know you did.
43:29
Yeah. Yeah, we forgot.
43:30
So. Yeah, hard luck then.
43:33
And the first one you're going to have to answer.
43:35
And what is, so this is from Chris James, so he has a couple.
43:40
And what do each of you think we'll see this year?
43:45
So in terms of stuff, I think Mal has an answer for that.
43:49
We're going to do predictions episode at some point.
43:51
Yeah, Yeah. I sort of say to elaborate,
43:54
we'll probably get to elaborate on that bit more in the
43:56
prediction show. But I've said already I think
44:00
we'll get more Ninians. I think we might get version 2
44:06
Ersock at this reveal at the same time as the Otho reveal for
44:11
that Legends line. And I think we may also get like
44:18
the Silver Knight when the story, the law book, the story
44:24
book, the law book is real. I wonder if we'll get a figure
44:28
offered alongside that as well. That would be cool.
44:32
Yeah, definitely. And I suppose it depend maybe
44:36
they're going to see Oh well the Silver Knight thing works now so
44:40
or did Silver Knight. I also think, well, obviously I
44:45
think we're going to get Ox crew book three, because I think
44:48
that's been already and I do think that we will.
44:56
What's going to be so sorry, I didn't mad and then it just went
45:01
rich. Any anything lizard men.
45:04
I think we'll get lizard men. I've been saying that for the
45:07
last four years, but I think we will get lizard men.
45:10
Positive vibes are getting there.
45:11
I think we definitely. I think we might get robots with
45:14
COSMIC as well. Finally have a sneaky special.
45:18
Might actually get a robot. That would be cool, yeah.
45:22
And. That's part of my answer for one
45:24
of the other questions or guest or I guess.
45:29
Any plans for Patreon this year? And yes we do.
45:34
So one thing I wanted to say is I definitely want to do
45:37
something again like we did last year with the exclusive heads
45:40
and and stuff for Allegiance Con and maybe try and do it a bit
45:44
earlier so we can get some out to more patrons.
45:47
So stick with us there on that one.
45:50
Rich, what do you have planned? So we have a series of short
45:56
episodes. We still need to find out the
45:58
details of all this, John, but they're going to be called
46:01
Riches Randoms and it will involve getting.
46:05
Patron random people from the street.
46:07
Yes, just people have just. Yeah, No, they were more
46:10
dangerous. Bristol High Street.
46:13
Yeah, it would involve our patrons and it's going to be
46:15
called Riches Randoms. Yeah, that's going to be fun to
46:18
get sorted. Think.
46:19
Think a little bit like the interviews I did last year,
46:22
except it's going to be. The 10 minutes about a movie or
46:26
something and then you know, we can put that.
46:28
Up and now we we definitely need to look into more lore to do a
46:32
little bit more lore stuff and. Yeah, I think there's a plan
46:36
there, isn't there? Yeah, and I think the book, the
46:39
lower book we probably expected to maybe have it by now or or
46:43
sooner and not that that's a problem, but so I think we were
46:47
kind of thinking, OK, we leave some lower episodes for later
46:50
Toronto and that book came out and as we've gone along
46:53
obviously we didn't know about this ten years book.
46:57
So, you know, obviously that's cool, but that puts the lower
47:01
book a bit further out. So we'll, we'll have to try and
47:06
figure out what we need to do to to do a couple more of those
47:08
lower episodes because they're they're cool and also the the
47:13
lower readings or whatever. And of course, we can make up
47:18
some fan lore, which is definitely an option that could
47:24
be that could be definitely something to do just.
47:27
May know a guy. Yeah, for sure.
47:31
I, I definitely wanted to do something.
47:33
I, I, my, my idea was more to do with, I was going to write some
47:38
sort of a thing, but it's not going to be too wordy as in I'm
47:45
going to try and do a story, but it's more, there's going to be
47:48
more to do with like sounds and stuff like that.
47:50
You know, there's going to be a basic narration over it, but
47:53
then you get a lot of sounds to kind of bring you along with the
47:55
story and have it be kind of quite intense and scary and
48:01
whatever, but let the sound do that and with a little bit of
48:04
narration. So I already had an idea for
48:07
that, but it's I've never done anything like that before.
48:11
So it'd be learning curve for me.
48:13
So be fun though. It could be fun for that.
48:16
Yeah, because I mean, I got the idea a little bit from, you
48:21
know, that kind of the one I did on my own, the only lower one I
48:25
did on my own where it was the guy on the ship and sending the
48:28
communication back. And there was a lot of sound on
48:30
that as well as obviously he was doing the message.
48:33
So that kind of, but that had an atmosphere to it that was quite
48:35
cool. So, but I also had the first
48:39
thing that popped into my head was like someone being chased
48:41
through a forest by like a demon or a skeleton or something.
48:44
And trying to convey that in audio form would be it'll put
48:50
you to sleep at night. So be prepared.
48:58
Photos of John stood there with shoes on his hand as he stamps
49:01
on something. Give up the old Foley
49:04
soundtrack. But yeah, exactly.
49:06
Yeah. And because I also want to learn
49:08
more of that stuff and that would be a good way to do it.
49:11
And also, if anyone has a suggestion or a real wish for
49:18
what they would, what would be cool for us to do is say an
49:21
exclusive head for allegiance con or something, shoot it at us
49:24
now if you're especially if you're on the Patreon.
49:27
And then we'll definitely try incorporate something like that
49:30
into it because now is the time when we have a fresh slate for
49:34
that kind of stuff. So, you know, and we can put the
49:37
Patreon money to good use for that kind of stuff, you know?
49:40
So yeah, you know, and then you get something back out of that
49:42
as well. So, you know, not that I'm.
49:45
I'm sure you dig it. Most people like the heads this
49:47
year, which was cool, but that was really our own what we
49:51
wanted to do. So we're very and that's kind of
49:56
the way we had to do it because of the time constraints.
49:59
But now that people know what we did last year, they might say,
50:02
oh, it'd be cool if those guys did or you know, I don't want to
50:05
have myself commissioned, but I'd love if somebody did a head
50:08
like whatever. So anyway, we better get moving.
50:11
And and Chris says also, is it legions con time yet?
50:17
Unfortunately, no. Chris, I know you live in
50:20
Florida, so the weather's I mean, you don't always get good
50:23
weather, but you definitely don't get as cold weather as we
50:25
have now. So even just a bit warmer would
50:29
be good for a start. Get the hotel for allegiance.
50:33
Come book to that. That's when I'll feel it.
50:37
So Rich, if 4 horsemen were to ask you to come up with a new
50:41
character, even a new race, we have not seen it in the
50:46
Galatians. 4 would be I just I just know he's going to.
50:49
I laugh Chris because I know he's just going to say lizards.
50:52
Well, yes, if a new race it would be lizard men, but I've
50:57
been thinking in terms of a character, it wouldn't actually
50:59
be a lizard man. I would want to see a new member
51:02
of the Suns, the Red Stars, who is a werewolf.
51:06
So big hulking, big hulking werewolf who's our loners flock
51:11
have hired to take out two or three named vampire characters
51:16
in the Brood. And obviously, the whales.
51:17
Take out your affection. Yes, basically I've got an
51:20
entire group of vampire hunters in my plans.
51:23
So, you know, I like the vampires, but I'd kill him as
51:26
well. Yeah.
51:27
So this guy's got like a personal grudge sort of thing,
51:29
so he happily takes the job. He's got all sorts of cool
51:33
weapons and that sort of stuff. So that's what I'd like.
51:35
Secret. Is it no shark Man?
51:39
No, it's probably #2 is. It that's for the next one,
51:41
yeah. That's that's like, you know.
51:43
Yeah, Mal, what are you hoping to see come out in Cosmic
51:46
Legions this year? Anything specific tickled you're
51:51
fancy? As I say, you sort of said we'll
51:54
get, we'll definitely get our post book three.
51:57
I hope we get more another Thraxian maybe like a leader
52:01
sort of character. So you know that it feels like
52:05
the two we've got in a very much like.
52:06
Troops you could use the Kragner skin, body parts and Gazzardy
52:13
head. Yeah, yeah.
52:16
See what they get. I've kind of hopefully we get a
52:23
couple of characters that have got a few more robotic parts to
52:27
them. That'd be cool.
52:29
And I think we'll get a MOTU tribute again in the the next
52:35
cosmic wave, maybe not the next one, but you know, either one or
52:40
other of the cosmic waves, I think we'll get a we'll get this
52:43
year's MOTU tribute. Cool.
52:47
Yeah, I look forward to that. We're thinking maybe clawful.
52:51
Yeah. Roboto.
52:54
I would love one of my favorite. Characters.
52:58
Let's let's speculate more down the line.
53:01
Yeah. So and then he says, John, do
53:03
you prefer waffles over pancakes?
53:05
And I know what he's talking about there.
53:08
I'm going to say I prefer waffles, the food, and leave it
53:14
at that. What are your thoughts on the
53:16
song Ratlinburg? I suppose if you've lived and
53:19
grown up in Ireland, it's kind of a bit cliche, but you hear it
53:23
a lot in the in the pubs. But yeah, it's a tune.
53:28
And in all seriousness, do you have a Legion or even A4
53:32
Horsemen figures that you would love to either get back or have
53:36
never owned before? So get back.
53:40
No, because I didn't sell. I'm not, I'm not Rich.
53:46
I did get a record last year from Rich for doing painting for
53:49
him, for him. So that was definitely one
53:51
ticked off the list that I would would have gone back to get out
53:55
of, you know, not the crazy prices, but you know, over
53:59
retail and. Chris also got regular off me,
54:02
so, you know, dishing out the regular say.
54:06
Yeah, Sir, Valgard would be the one for me because he's so hard
54:11
to get and he's a dwarf and he's cool and just for what he is,
54:15
but also he's a dwarf. Followed me.
54:17
Never talk about Sir Valgard. Yeah.
54:21
At least they didn't have, yeah, the misfortune to do what you
54:25
did. And there's also towards Iron
54:28
Jaw. It's another good one.
54:30
There's dwarfs, the old, the old dwarfs, you know, So they would
54:34
be sweet, right? Ben Kostanovich then asked if we
54:41
ever finished the lower episodes.
54:43
I think we answered that one already.
54:44
So you, we, we'd love to do more lore and we will get around to
54:49
it. And I thought you still had work
54:55
to do and go back on those. So we do definitely.
54:57
And also Jeremy just announced the pre-order for the 10 year
55:00
book. You could Dick Bethany's talk
55:01
about that and the holes from the in stock sales.
55:04
So I think we've addressed Ben's question.
55:07
We have pretty. Thoroughly producer Ben,
55:09
producer Ben, there you go. So he he's like, he's like he
55:12
did the episode outline this week.
55:13
That was awesome. Kevin Boots then asked if he
55:17
could make a figure. What would said figure be so is
55:21
that similar to what the question that you were asked
55:24
Rich about? No, I would make a shark
55:26
warrior. Oh, you.
55:29
So with the fin. And all the bases.
55:31
Here, Kevin. Yeah, the fin that goes into the
55:34
the rectangular hole on his back, a huge big set of razor
55:38
teeth, modified fins into hands and feet all over that.
55:45
Awesome. I'd make a proper Robin Hood
55:48
with all the soft goods cloak, you know, full new parts, kind
55:53
of different, maybe chest plate with more kind of looking like
55:58
kind of cloth kind of tunic, but also then a big kind of Robin
56:03
Hood cloak and a really cool hooded and unloaded head, hooded
56:08
head with plastic hood, also with a Cape with the cloth hood
56:15
and a couple of different head portraits and specific Robin
56:21
Hood bow for him. Yeah.
56:24
So that's what I'd like to make, you know, bunch of you know, I
56:32
suppose most of the parts are there already, but I'd love a
56:35
love, a really, you know, revisited elf Ranger maybe in
56:39
1.0, but like as a Robin Hood. Yeah, now.
56:44
They say I'm going to go with a 2.0 figure or some description,
56:51
possibly female, go with more cloth and leather parts.
56:56
I know we're getting some of the cloth parts, but looking back
57:00
we're not. I know we are getting the full
57:02
leather boots, but I don't think we're getting full leather
57:04
gloves and all that. So, you know, just something
57:06
that incorporated some new 2.0 parts.
57:09
So partly also because I was looking at a goblin character I
57:14
wanted to make and you can't get all the to.
57:20
I suppose that would be male though, that I was going to
57:22
make. 2.0 torsos. There's none that are just
57:25
leather and not 2 point. Yeah, yeah. 2.0 torsos.
57:30
There's no leather ones. The one that is used a lot as
57:34
leather actually. It's armour isn't it?
57:36
If you look and all the straps and that, it's very armourish.
57:41
Something a bit more clothy would be quite cool.
57:44
Or that could pass as cloth would be cool.
57:47
Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, I don't know what the
57:50
character exactly would be. Maybe again, a bit like your
57:52
thing. And the thing that always comes
57:54
to mind that would be cool is something that could pass as
57:56
like a a battle, you know, a fighting version of Red Riding
58:03
Hood or something like that. One of those sorts of
58:05
characters, you know, with a crossbow or a bow and sword and
58:09
a bit swashed, probably. Two pack with my werewolf.
58:15
That'd be quite good, wouldn't it?
58:19
Right. And then we got Archer Hawk from
58:22
France and he says with the level up in the design of the
58:26
figures, what is according to each one of you the best
58:30
designed figure for for horsemen and his answer is Scapular too.
58:36
So what do you think? I'm going to go Kern Ray, I
58:44
think. Yeah, that is there.
58:48
We're starting to get those sort of steampunky parts, aren't we?
58:51
And the hell of me and the way that looks and very organic.
58:56
Yeah. Well, not organic is not the
58:58
right mechanical, but then with like the cloth parts.
59:00
Yeah. I just think she's very cool.
59:02
And then the coat as well. Rich, what do you what can you
59:07
think of there? I would go to Windaji, the
59:10
Kapler. Oh wow.
59:12
I think the introduction of the fur body parts that you know
59:17
that really forward facing head, the extra articulation along on
59:22
articulation, but by any stretch of imagination, but I'd say that
59:25
one. Yeah, I think.
59:28
That was fair. Awesome.
59:30
I mean, I could look at this from a almost nostalgia point of
59:35
view, as you say, the kind of it's got, you know, they're
59:38
obviously constantly improving. So just the look of the the orcs
59:44
originally got me and and the goblins for sure, but they are
59:49
probably not my favorites these days.
59:53
So it's I mean, for the orcs, you'd have to say Vorthog is, is
1:00:01
a is a kind of look at how the orc design has improved.
1:00:06
So if I was to stick with the orcs, I'd say him, but.
1:00:10
Probably the tuberculi just for what they've managed to do with
1:00:16
it and what we'll be talking about that in the next couple of
1:00:19
weeks. And I mean, this is leaving
1:00:21
behind all the dark 4. You know, you could, you know,
1:00:28
how can you how can you go past like poxes in this?
1:00:32
But yeah, you know, you have to make a choice.
1:00:35
The cosmic legions. I mean, you know, you know how
1:00:37
much we love, for example, Novi and Lean.
1:00:39
But now we've seen that build in a different figure.
1:00:42
So you kind of go past it, but you have to think about the
1:00:46
first time you saw something. I think Kern Ray is a really
1:00:48
good one. Slog should be in there as well.
1:00:51
In terms of design. The little potato just because
1:00:54
it's, yeah, such a fun design. True.
1:00:57
But I think if you're thinking for horsemen design, then yeah,
1:01:00
I think, you know, tuberculosis is a good one for me.
1:01:04
I'll stay with that. And then finally from Archer, we
1:01:10
have. Do you use a French word in your
1:01:13
everyday life? Fun fact, I now say and voila,
1:01:17
with the accent of D Amazing. And when I finish something
1:01:22
often enough, some of my friends says it in the same way now,
1:01:25
even though they have never even seen a single video from DNS.
1:01:32
So I often use French words in a sarcastic, piss taking way
1:01:40
because because I suppose this, there's a lot of French speaking
1:01:45
people here who don't speak Luxembourgish or English.
1:01:48
And then it's like annoying for me.
1:01:53
It doesn't speak French. But I, you know, you most people
1:01:56
are supposed to be able to understand French.
1:01:59
So I will just say kind of ironic things.
1:02:04
I also do the I love doing the just to wind my wife up.
1:02:07
She's fluent in French, but she doesn't like the language.
1:02:11
She doesn't like speaking it because she doesn't she
1:02:14
sometimes has to think of words and apparently for her, that's
1:02:17
like very annoying. I mean, when when, when they
1:02:22
learn so many languages growing up, you know, I suppose you get
1:02:25
like that. I'd be happy to be in that
1:02:26
situation with the language. And so I often do the Del Boy
1:02:30
and say Bam Venu for you're welcome, because Bam Venu is
1:02:34
welcome to somewhere and silver play is you're welcome.
1:02:37
So I'll just give her something to say.
1:02:38
Bam Venu. She just looks the first time.
1:02:41
She's like, what? You know, that's right.
1:02:43
I said, yeah, but you know, only fools and horses you go.
1:02:46
Oh Jesus, that. Yeah, I'm the new Rodney.
1:02:53
And then they have some, they have some.
1:02:55
When I worked in the bank, there's a lot of really nice
1:02:58
French people I worked with and they had some phrases that they
1:03:02
said all the time and it would just get seeped into your brain.
1:03:06
So for example, like they say Jenna Sepa, which is, you know,
1:03:11
I don't know, but they just say. Shipa, Shipa, Shipa.
1:03:15
This and they said it a lot just so that you wouldn't be annoying
1:03:20
them and that would kind of sneak into your vocabulary from
1:03:23
time to time. So I don't know, but you boys
1:03:26
over there, I guess other than French words that are in
1:03:30
English, you wouldn't have much 'cause to.
1:03:32
No, the main thing here is this Sava Oh.
1:03:36
You say that. Yeah, Holly does friendship
1:03:39
school so, or you know, whatever.
1:03:43
So yeah. Yeah, we're, we're at the really
1:03:47
painful point now with the kids in the learning of French
1:03:51
because they're they've changed how they teach in schools here.
1:03:54
And it's now become really difficult for the kids because
1:04:01
they don't kind of rather the vocabulary into them and kind
1:04:07
of, you know, they're supposed to do the vocabulary on their
1:04:09
own at home or, you know, and then at school they do more kind
1:04:12
of things that are like, supposed to be fun, like games
1:04:15
and stuff like that. But it ends that the kids then
1:04:18
can't make sentences and can't speak the language.
1:04:22
And it was never done that way here.
1:04:24
So my wife is like finds it really difficult because she
1:04:30
knows that they should be better at it.
1:04:33
But. They're not.
1:04:35
And she's gets really stressed because she's like, if they get
1:04:39
to secondary school, they have to be able to make sentences and
1:04:42
do little conversations. And yeah, I think it's not just
1:04:47
our kids. We've kind of realized
1:04:49
everyone's in a similar situation.
1:04:52
But then there is a lot of families where maybe the husband
1:04:54
or the wife is a French speaker. Like, I'm an English speaker,
1:04:57
you know, with my Luxembourgish wife.
1:04:58
There might be Luxembourgish guy with the French wife.
1:05:02
And those kids are grand. Then they're in school just like
1:05:04
feet up, you know, OK, they have to learn German, so that might
1:05:07
be hard for them. But the German is much more
1:05:09
intense because that's the language that gets taught in.
1:05:13
But then when they get to secondary school, it'll switch
1:05:16
to French. And I'm afraid that my kid will
1:05:21
lose a lot of the kind of maths that she's learned and stuff
1:05:25
that she's quite good at maths. But then if they switch it all
1:05:28
to French and she's like, yeah, I already do the maths and
1:05:31
English in my head and then translate it into German or
1:05:34
Luxembourgish, I'm like, OK, but I don't want to send them to an
1:05:38
English speaking school. Because if they want to live
1:05:40
here long term, then it's much better if they know all the
1:05:46
languages. I mean, I get away with it now
1:05:48
because I've moved here. But yeah, it's so it's tricky
1:05:53
one. But languages, you know, it's a,
1:05:56
it's a tough one. Even I thought like it was when
1:05:59
I when kids here for. So that's great.
1:06:01
They're going to be fluent in four languages.
1:06:03
Great. I didn't realize all the pain to
1:06:04
get there. You know, the English was the
1:06:07
easy one because they speak it all the time to me.
1:06:09
And they watch everything on the in the iPad or on TV in English
1:06:13
because they just prefer it. And of course because most
1:06:17
content is more available in English.
1:06:19
So. Yeah.
1:06:21
Yeah, I don't say sorry, Rich Carom.
1:06:24
No, I was going to say when I was up in, in North Wales for
1:06:27
Christmas, I was chatting to a friend of mine and his partner.
1:06:31
She works in the school I used to go to.
1:06:33
She's a teacher there. And she was saying that now in
1:06:36
that school, 75% of the lessons are in Welsh for all the kids.
1:06:41
Now. I don't, I've never spoken Welsh
1:06:43
enough to get through an entire lesson in it.
1:06:46
And she was saying she knows somebody whose kids have gone
1:06:48
there and they're like really struggling.
1:06:49
You know, they're like being taught history and Welsh and I,
1:06:53
but my Welsh isn't good enough to understand what's going on
1:06:55
half the time so. It's painful, but they'll get
1:06:59
there. But it's just a question of they
1:07:03
probably have to catch up then later down the line and stuff
1:07:05
that they didn't understand. Yeah, but there is tools and
1:07:10
stuff. There's just so many
1:07:11
distractions now as well, you know?
1:07:13
I understand, you know, my oldest is going to secondary
1:07:19
school next year and she'll be getting the phone.
1:07:22
You know that's going to be a tough one.
1:07:25
Yes, well it was painful giving mine a phone.
1:07:29
We gave it the last year of primary school and it was just
1:07:31
like. It's just because I don't, I
1:07:33
don't think I'm able to deal with it and I haven't had one on
1:07:37
my life. I think I'm on the phone too
1:07:39
much, so I can only imagine what they're going to be like, you
1:07:42
know? And already if they have a
1:07:44
tablet, it's too much. OK, this is becoming a parenting
1:07:48
podcasts. I was gonna, I was gonna add to.
1:07:51
Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't say anything, even
1:07:53
French. I actually say something in
1:07:55
German and it goes back, I can't remember what the film, it might
1:07:58
be Bourne, but well, it's not nice.
1:08:01
It's Shazer. That's a good one though.
1:08:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I can't remember.
1:08:08
I think it might be the first Matthew Bourne film or the but
1:08:11
the female Jason character is Jason Bourne.
1:08:13
Sorry. Sorry to be here, no.
1:08:15
No, you're right. You're right.
1:08:17
The female character is in one of these films and she's she's
1:08:21
being dragged around in just every, every scene. 1.
1:08:24
Chaser, Chaser. The one where they're in.
1:08:27
I know, I think it's his, his love interest, isn't it?
1:08:30
Yeah, yeah, that it will be he's.
1:08:32
Living in Paris, Yeah, Yeah. And she just swears in every,
1:08:37
every scene. So it just stuck and it was
1:08:39
amusing at the time. So I just from that point on
1:08:42
started in this sweat, you know, instead of saying crap, it was
1:08:45
Shazer. Awesome.
1:08:48
I've been known to met the corner.
1:08:53
Have you boys been watching Traitors?
1:08:57
No, it's not something to watch. No, we, we started to watch it.
1:09:02
So the third series is out now on BBC, but we found the first
1:09:07
series on something so over here.
1:09:09
So we started to watch the first one and the kids love it and my
1:09:13
wife is interested in it and it's, I find it quite good.
1:09:16
It's it's kind of a social experiment.
1:09:19
It's very interesting. And so, yeah, we watch it as a
1:09:21
family kind of every day. I don't know if we have time.
1:09:25
I think one of them this year pretending to be Welsh.
1:09:28
I heard that I haven't seen. She's putting on Welsh accent
1:09:30
even though she's not from London.
1:09:31
It's just like what that? Because, and it's because,
1:09:34
because there was a Welsh lady in the first one who who got
1:09:37
quite far and did really well. But how to keep it up?
1:09:42
Yeah, you're really creating a rod for your own back.
1:09:45
You really are, yeah. One more thing, Jeremy did say
1:09:51
that he's not he doesn't have an episode next week, but that he's
1:09:53
has a very special episode on the 22nd of January and it's
1:09:57
going to be out of this world. And he said it to Trevor in the
1:10:00
way that, you know, every one of those words was supposed to have
1:10:03
a meaning. So what would you for Rich?
1:10:06
What would you take from out of this world?
1:10:10
Gotta be cosmic something. But that's what Mal said first.
1:10:13
We were talking about beforehand, but I'm thinking
1:10:16
infinite legions because I'm thinking out of this world might
1:10:20
be out of. Oh yeah.
1:10:23
Yeah, that would make sense. So it could be that because I'm
1:10:27
not expecting something cosmic quite yet, but of course cosmic,
1:10:34
I'll take a love cosmic and most of my customs at the moment are
1:10:38
cosmic, so I'm loving it. I'm going to make no, they've
1:10:42
been illegal. That would make sense.
1:10:45
A couple of cosmic minions when they get them.
1:10:48
Could they bring outer space men into infinite legions?
1:10:51
Yeah, yeah, they could, I suppose, Yeah.
1:10:57
Or I think they're doing Glios though as well.
1:10:59
So that class figure, it'd be interesting to see how that, I
1:11:03
mean, Glios has definitely had an uptick in our circle of
1:11:08
friends. Anyway, I think Pete McCarthy is
1:11:11
doing his marketing manager job for.
1:11:15
If only Jeremy De Witt had told us about supply of stuff
1:11:18
previously. Shame that selfish.
1:11:20
Keeping it to. Himself yeah, it's ridiculous.
1:11:23
All right, that's your lot for this week and hope you enjoyed
1:11:28
that. We'll be back in next week with
1:11:30
more and let's see what comes and enjoy your in stock orders
1:11:36
as you get them. Be fun to see what people do.
1:11:40
Customs filling up their shelves, Army building.
1:11:45
To stay safe out there, everybody genuinely with all the
1:11:47
stuff that's going on there with wildfires and massive snowstorms
1:11:50
and they have a tiny bit of ice in the UK which
