- 0:13Now let's get to this week's show.
- 0:25My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
- 0:28I can hear it in the hall. Now it is breaking down crying.
- 0:37It turns out that Attila the arrogant.
- 0:39So and so he's got a fake hammer.
- 0:41Oh, A. Fake Whoa.
- 0:44As I say, Dick. Welcome to the Euro Legions
- 0:53podcast episode #61, and this week we have a mystery to solve.
- 0:59We're being trolled by the Four Horsemen and most likely Jeremy
- 1:03Gerard is behind it. Umm, but yeah, let's, uh let's
- 1:10first introduce our hosts. It's uh with his beer.
- 1:13It's uh, Malcolm Kennedy. How are you?
- 1:16I am good. It is a beer evening is it?
- 1:20Doesn't happen often these days. Well, yeah, not doing this
- 1:23anyway. We have.
- 1:24I've got my figure obscure a mug who knows what's inside.
- 1:29I leave that a mystery. Absent.
- 1:33Pure and rich. How are you?
- 1:36I'm angry. I did loads and loads of good
- 1:39research and rap and thinking for this episode and then the
- 1:44Four Horsemen just screwed me over royally with their post
- 1:47earlier on today with the with the lovely hashtag of not All
- 1:52Stars. Is that well F you then that
- 1:54just scraps everything I've done previously.
- 1:56I went from fully prepared for this podcast.
- 1:59Oh my God, I don't know what's happening, so I'm angry.
- 2:03So I hope you enjoyed this week's episode.
- 2:05We'll talk to you next week. Episode.
- 2:12Yeah, it's it's a crazy one. Umm probably would have been in
- 2:17some ways for O for our recording would have been
- 2:19probably better if we recorded yesterday uh or didn't look at
- 2:23the Internet today. On the other hand, we can maybe
- 2:26pivot on the fly a bit. Umm.
- 2:28What we are going to do this week though is we are going to
- 2:30look at that little uh pixelated image from the Mythicallys
- 2:35tactics game. Uh, fill in all the pixels with
- 2:38uh characters. Uh corresponding to the factions
- 2:42corresponding to the colors. I will say straight up UH to
- 2:46give uh my honorable Co host Mr. Jones some much deserved credit.
- 2:52He guessed all the correct factions with uh, the colors,
- 2:56and he had that in our message chat within an hour of him
- 3:01saying, right, I have time now I'm going to have a look at it.
- 3:03And so that was good. And then he had a.
- 3:06Bone John. Yeah.
- 3:07Don't get me started on the colors. 4 Horsemen trolled me
- 3:10again. I went out this morning going,
- 3:12yeah, there's only two Noble bear and five.
- 3:15Yeah. Complication.
- 3:16Amazing. Yeah, it was.
- 3:17And then like an hour later going, Oh no, sorry, you've
- 3:19gotten the wrong way around. Yeah, I was out and about today.
- 3:23You know I had, I had it was a two nights ago based on what
- 3:25Richard done, I did a little PowerPoint so we could have it
- 3:29on the screen. And if you want to see that, you
- 3:31can actually look at us on our YouTube channel and trying to
- 3:34post, uh, all the episodes on the YouTube channel now as well
- 3:38with the exact same audio you hear on the podcast.
- 3:40So just gives you another option.
- 3:42Uh, And it also gets it into YouTube Music that way as well.
- 3:46Uh, if you listen to your podcast and stuff that way,
- 3:50that's another handy way to get the podcast.
- 3:53But umm, yeah. So I had that out.
- 3:55And then, uh, Mal sent the picture that Jeremy, uh, put up
- 3:58first today, where the colors were reversed, the Blues were so
- 4:02there was now five. Was it Basilia?
- 4:04Which was great for me as well. Rich because my favorite
- 4:07faction, uh, And obviously great for you because it was, uh,
- 4:11three less noble bears. And you were like, right, I'm on
- 4:15it. I'm going to throw out a couple
- 4:17of characters and put in a few more, which was easy for Basilia
- 4:20because you just put them all in the other ones, yeah.
- 4:24Every one of them. And then I was like, OK, I'll.
- 4:26Will I get home in time to change her?
- 4:28Yeah, I'll manage it. And then half an hour later it
- 4:31was like, Oh no, no, it's the other way around.
- 4:34So you did have it right and all our stuff was right.
- 4:38But somehow Rich was even mad because because of that again.
- 4:44I was even angrier that, to be honest.
- 4:45That would just hit me over the edge, because I've been very
- 4:47smug and like there's hardly any metal bears.
- 4:51And then I got lots of people going rich, rich, rich when they
- 4:54changed it. OK, we go.
- 4:57We on team take particular satisfaction in pointing out
- 4:59that it was now. Yeah, I saw your comment on that
- 5:03post had where you said, oh, something about, damn, I thought
- 5:08it was less than less bears, you know turn it back, turn back.
- 5:12Yeah. And you had more likes on that
- 5:14comment than most of my posts. So.
- 5:19That's an achievement in itself. Well, it's not really, to be
- 5:23honest. I got an angry face from Stephen
- 5:24Buscotti on that comment as well, so that made me happy.
- 5:27Oh, that's on for me as well. I didn't see that much well.
- 5:33It was probably the same time, same time as Steve.
- 5:36So he just, you know I don't know if it.
- 5:37Always sticks. There's been times I've liked
- 5:39something on my phone, gone on to laptop and it's not there
- 5:43anymore. It's like, all right, fine.
- 5:45Face. Don't talk to her face.
- 5:46But you know, somebody, if we post something on our page or
- 5:49something like this or uh, I post something, uh.
- 5:52And yeah, if somebody comments and I always like to reply to
- 5:57the comments, especially on our podcast page, and somebody
- 6:00comment. And if three or four people
- 6:02comment around the same time and uh, you know, you just get one
- 6:04notification. That's why you see one comment.
- 6:07And then I miss a lot of comments, You know, unless you
- 6:11actually go in and check the whole post and you know, ah,
- 6:15it's it. It's a bit nonsensical.
- 6:17I don't know. Uh, I guess there's a reason
- 6:20behind it that we don't know. We're just not smart enough.
- 6:25Umm, yeah. So uh, I guess we're still going
- 6:28to go ahead and fill in those squares because that's fun.
- 6:31Uh, Then we will speculate a little bit on what we think it
- 6:34is. If it's not All Stars, I think
- 6:37personally I think it could be not All Stars, but something
- 6:40like All Stars. The same process where you do
- 6:43voting and you know, that kind of stuff.
- 6:46What do you think? Not?
- 6:47All Stars one. Yeah.
- 6:51We will use this slideshow. We will, Damn it, We will.
- 6:55And next week we'll come back to you with the the proper answer,
- 6:58because they've said that more will be revealed next week, but
- 7:00maybe it's just more bread crumbs.
- 7:02And then we'll be running around circles.
- 7:03But to be fair, we're not going to podcast out of this.
- 7:06So you know, I can't complain. Oh yeah, we'll get at least two
- 7:10or three or four out of this same.
- 7:11Like, you know, carry on, guys better than us having to sit
- 7:15here and talk about Savage Crucible.
- 7:16You know, hold on, I'll just Savage.
- 7:22John. I'll just, I'll just tune into
- 7:25their live stream there. Oh, sorry, sorry, no, the audio
- 7:31wasn't quite quite listenable. So uh, maybe next time guys, but
- 7:36maybe they'll post. Yeah, they think they'll post a
- 7:38written post, so maybe I'll. I'll get the update that way.
- 7:41Not that I care, but Rich, you do care because you were in on
- 7:45the the Kickstarter, aren't you? Yes, it was good news that their
- 7:48figures will be arriving finally.
- 7:50Umm, because I have quite a few winging my way.
- 7:52Umm, you know my little lizard men.
- 7:53So yeah. Very good.
- 7:55Yeah. So I'll be excited for you and
- 7:57we'll definitely talk about how the figures are and give an
- 8:00honest appraisal and maybe won't be quite as, uh, effusive as
- 8:07people posting in their group about how they're, uh, proud of
- 8:10them for cancelling a con appearance.
- 8:15You know, you can turn a silk purse or a sauzir into a silk
- 8:19purse, or you can Polish through it all the all that you like.
- 8:23Yeah, basically what somebody should have just said with that
- 8:25post is well done for not effing it up like a wok.
- 8:35Oh my. We're, we're we're on it
- 8:37tonight, huh? I'm angry.
- 8:40Just, I just said I'm angry. I am angry.
- 8:42An angry rich is content rich Rich just a.
- 8:48Little balance of that, I think the I think Primal Series 2 is
- 8:53looking absolutely spectacular phrase.
- 9:00It's series 4, but I know what you mean.
- 9:06Just needs a wash and a dry brush and figures in highlights.
- 9:10Yeah, it. Depends if you bind it.
- 9:13But yeah, if you want to make it mythic adjacent, then yeah,
- 9:17maybe so excellent. I have seen a couple of people
- 9:21do really good, really good paint on jobs on them.
- 9:23To make them look mythically has to be said, no.
- 9:25I mean in heads anyway. I mean not the whole figures.
- 9:27And that's not a criticism on the paint of the figures because
- 9:29they are. They are the paint of the
- 9:31figures is good in for what they're trying for.
- 9:34I'm just, I'm just kind of joking about how, you know, if
- 9:38we wasn't added into anything. As annoyed as I am with they
- 9:43walk, and everybody who listens to this knows how annoyed I am
- 9:45because I mentioned it once or twice.
- 9:47Those figures will still go quite well as Thundercat
- 9:50buddies. It's that sort of aesthetic.
- 9:52So Super 7 Thundercats and then they'll mix pretty well.
- 9:55Is the Super 7 Thundercats still going or these days or?
- 9:58Yeah, yeah, it slowed right down, but it is still going.
- 10:02They finally announced all the excuse me, all the main
- 10:04Thundercats now too. So worst case scenario, they
- 10:07stop. At this point, at least, you'll
- 10:08get everybody. Awesome.
- 10:13OK, well, let's get on to some some maybe better news.
- 10:16So the first thing point of order, and actually I haven't.
- 10:19I I know I mentioned this to you guys uh a while ago, but I am
- 10:23now in the process of ordering UH exclusive pins for our
- 10:28patrons. Uh, I've decided that every
- 10:31single patron will get one UH and all the tier levels UH sent
- 10:35out. Or if they're willing to wait
- 10:37till legions gone, uh that might save me some PO postage, but
- 10:41we're going to do an exclusive colorway of the original pin
- 10:46design. I think that works out the best.
- 10:48And and what I'm thinking of is a black background with silver
- 10:53and gold lettering. The two different words you know
- 10:57it's red and blue on the on the you see it there in the logo in
- 11:00the corner of of the screen. So the the red will be a silver
- 11:05and the blue will be gold on the black background.
- 11:08Sound good to you guys? The yellow.
- 11:10Oh, we'll, we'll leave the yellow or see if the lady comes
- 11:13back. But the yellow?
- 11:14Yeah, yeah. But yeah, yeah, sounds good.
- 11:17I like the idea of that. There'll be a collection item
- 11:20there for our Patriot. Exactly.
- 11:21Yeah. So that will be, yeah, the only
- 11:23way to get that will be as Patreon or maybe if one of your
- 11:27patriot of our patrons gives you one or sells you one.
- 11:30But yeah, you know, do what you like, your PIN you can do what
- 11:32you like. And so that's number one.
- 11:36Uh, that's our self indulgent news and #2 is we should talk
- 11:41about the live stream that we should be doing soon for the
- 11:44giveaway of the sword rich. The sword absolutely just
- 11:47confirm it is a sword, nothing else.
- 11:49Attached to an amazing custom by Andy Spinks.
- 11:52And it's just been availability that has stopped us from doing
- 11:56this. But uh, hopefully we'll get a
- 11:58little bit more availability and we wanted to do it on a weekend
- 12:00so that, umm, more people could maybe join on to the live
- 12:04stream. Uh, given that that even if we
- 12:07do it late in the evening, it's still probably working hours for
- 12:10a lot of, say, people in America.
- 12:11So on a weekend, more chance that people, uh, would be able
- 12:15to join in. Umm, and so we'll do wheel for
- 12:18that. Uh, maybe this weekend.
- 12:20Uh, we have to talk about after the recording, but I think this
- 12:23Saturday could possibly be a runner.
- 12:26Umm, but let's talk about that later.
- 12:29And don't worry everybody, as per the last live thing we do,
- 12:32there will be rich does mythics drawings.
- 12:35Oh yeah, we'll definitely have some fun, some fun stuff,
- 12:38including the of course. I think I've.
- 12:40Had with one in particular. I think I've actually, I've done
- 12:42myself. Oh my goodness.
- 12:44It's both a work of art and truly dreadful at the same time.
- 12:47And the best thing about these guys is Rich doesn't share them
- 12:49with us in advance like we're we're we're live reacting as
- 12:53well on the show to them. So yeah, and another thing is to
- 12:59our patrons especially, uh, if you ever want to send us a
- 13:03question right in the show, uh, if you're in our discord, send
- 13:07it as a voice note and I can play it out on the show and we
- 13:10can answer it straight there. Then you kind of get on the
- 13:12show, which is kind of cool. Umm.
- 13:15Or if you're not on the if you're not on the discord, you
- 13:19can still say DM us on UH Messenger or Facebook.
- 13:23Something like this, Uh, And send us a voice note there and
- 13:26that that's a very cool way to get a comment in for the show.
- 13:29So uh, that's something to uh, to think about.
- 13:32And if you have a funny story or just want to, uh, swear rich for
- 13:38his hatred of the noble bear, uh, you should do that, right?
- 13:42Uh, So there's a little bit more housekeeping, uh, out of the
- 13:46way. Uh.
- 13:47Now let's get on to the good stuff.
- 13:49So couple of things that are going on in the community.
- 13:52First one I wanted to shout out is from our friend and wonderful
- 13:56patron as well, Chris James. So last year uh, at Legions Con
- 14:00Chris had a fodder swap. Umm he kind of arranged an
- 14:04informal kind of he brought his big box of fodder.
- 14:07I think a couple of other people, umm, brought theirs as
- 14:11well and they kind of arranged it a bit in advance and it was
- 14:15basically a a free for all with swapping and trading bits
- 14:17fodder. I definitely got a few little
- 14:20bits there from people. I didn't really have much father
- 14:22myself, but I managed to. I think I paid a few dollars or
- 14:26whatever for for fodder if you don't have something to trade.
- 14:29So I thought. You can admit to stealing a
- 14:32load. Then no, no, absolutely.
- 14:33I had no fodder, but I did pocket quite a few things and it
- 14:36was. Great.
- 14:37No, that's it was amazing. You know this stuff like
- 14:39especially if you're like you Rich and I guess me and Mel to
- 14:44an extent as well, big into our customs and be more from the
- 14:49painting side of it. You especially rich from
- 14:52building customs. You know what parts are rare or
- 14:55hard to get or if you're missing them.
- 14:57It's a pain in the bum to kind of track down.
- 15:00Uh and you can see stuff like that there and it's you know,
- 15:04it's it's the easiest way to get to get it.
- 15:06You know if you're there. Uh so bring a little box fodder.
- 15:09If the stuff you don't, uh, you know just throw it into the
- 15:12bottom of your luggage. Bring it along.
- 15:14If you're uh traveling not by plane to Allegiance con.
- 15:19Just you have put your father box in the boot of your car and
- 15:23uh Chris, Will, Chris is this is an official thing now as well So
- 15:27Jeremy has uh made it an official part of the con of the
- 15:31con Sorry. And uh it's uh it's going to be
- 15:36in as a special after hours event.
- 15:40Umm the Wolf king himself. Lynn LaGuardia uh will be, uh
- 15:46combined in combined into it uh with his pop and swap event.
- 15:49So if you went to Len's event uh previously at Leighton Scan, you
- 15:53know that that's a very cool thing.
- 15:55Umm. So you'll learn how to pop and
- 15:57swap to do the kind of different stuff with the figures.
- 16:00Uh you know, even 3D parts. What goes with figures?
- 16:03Uh, How it works. Uh And you'll be truly on your
- 16:08way to becoming a Lazy Boy customizer, which uh we all want
- 16:12to be as well as uh Some of us want to to be the non lazy
- 16:17customizers but still be lazy. Uh so it's a tricky balance.
- 16:21But uh yeah, he's uh Chris is very excited about it.
- 16:25There'll be more near to the event, but uh, definitely
- 16:28something to think about. And uh, I think something that
- 16:31all three of us will be, uh, sticking our noses into.
- 16:35I'm sure you can fit some farther into that, uh, suitcase
- 16:37Rich or the 2nd 10. Sure can bring a little bit with
- 16:40me, no problem. Yeah.
- 16:41I'm I'm. I'm thinking I'd bring mythic
- 16:43stuff to replace with cosmic stuff.
- 16:45That's. Yeah, that's an excellent way of
- 16:47doing it. Yeah.
- 16:48If you want to you know, say you had a couple of mythics torsos
- 16:51that you that you had lying around because you'd use the the
- 16:55body parts for, you know, custom.
- 16:58You know, maybe if you wanted to make a cosmic character with
- 17:02bare arms, and then you had the torso knocking around, and then
- 17:06you wanted to get a Mythics torso to make another custom,
- 17:09there you go. That's how to get it without
- 17:11having to buy another figure. Umm, So yeah, awesome.
- 17:15And of course, maybe you buy a couple of figures at Legions Con
- 17:18for customs and you don't want, uh, a couple of the accessories,
- 17:23or you don't particularly need them, or you want some other
- 17:25accessories instead of them. So uh, yeah, awesome.
- 17:29Chris. Uh, we'll be keeping in touch
- 17:31and uh obviously hyping it up closer to Legions Con, but
- 17:35that's something that's been announced uh this week.
- 17:38So expected to be, uh, popping up later uh with more
- 17:42information, uh, kind of maybe about how it's going to be set
- 17:46up and maybe I guess they might have some some guidelines around
- 17:51it. Uh, you know, just to keep it
- 17:53organized. So that's cool, umm.
- 17:57And the next thing that we have in the community is the Pop and
- 18:02Swap Stars contest from the boys at Legions Lounge we had done a
- 18:08couple of weeks ago and Trevor and Nate and Bill from door
- 18:16clear. So uh, this one is pretty cool.
- 18:21You're going to partake this year, guys.
- 18:26I'm all I do I I'm, I'm in an RN at the minute whether I've got,
- 18:31but I think it's great. I love seeing what everyone
- 18:33does, but uh, I'll see if I can get the to actually do it.
- 18:39I will try to this year. I missed.
- 18:41I missed. I didn't get around to last
- 18:42year. But this year, I think there's
- 18:45nothing preventing us. It's just a matter of time and
- 18:47maybe a bit of perfectionism. I hear mild there.
- 18:50Maybe you know you want it to be really good and then you see
- 18:55that sort of. Concern of basically doing
- 18:57something that someone else has done as well, you know, and
- 19:00we'll. Get it done quickly then.
- 19:02Yeah, that's true. That's true.
- 19:03Actually, one of the problems is, is that already now after a
- 19:07couple of days of it being live, there's already some amazing
- 19:11ones. So no, nothing that I can say
- 19:15I've thought about because maybe I didn't think about it yet, but
- 19:18but ones that I certainly went Whoa, how is that only?
- 19:22Well, sorry, honestly, I actually don't think my Pop and
- 19:25swap game is very good at all, whereas there's some people are
- 19:29so creative, so, so creative. It's amazing.
- 19:33I think the best approach would be to to just think about 3
- 19:35figures obviously that you can pop swap together.
- 19:38So obviously 3 on a uh you know the same system be it a one
- 19:43point O or a two point O umm there can be some cross I guess
- 19:48possibilities between the two uh and just just start mixing them
- 19:52up until you get something you think of.
- 19:55The other approach is obviously you know I want to make this
- 19:57type of character and then going with it, you know?
- 20:02But uh yeah, should be cool. Umm, the rules.
- 20:08Very briefly. Now there is a kilometer long uh
- 20:12post in the cabal from Trevor uh with the rules, which is
- 20:16important to a competition like this.
- 20:17The basic rules, umm are used three different figures.
- 20:22Uh. There's no restrictions on UH
- 20:26using a legion builder this year.
- 20:28They had a legion builder requirement in it last year so
- 20:30that makes it much easier to kind of logistically put it
- 20:34together. And and you can use weapons
- 20:37packs, hands packs, UH accessory packs, stuff like that.
- 20:41As well as the three figures. That's the basic rules.
- 20:45Umm, they also have a couple of categories, black and red.
- 20:48UH category. UH, a tribute figure category
- 20:52and a best purple figure category, which I guess you can
- 20:56guess which uh lovely gentlemen are kind of behind sponsoring
- 21:02that category and they also have.
- 21:05Legions lay guys, obviously. Yeah, and they will also have a
- 21:09fan favorite figure where they'll take the top five most
- 21:12liked entries and run a pole on the cabal to determine the fan
- 21:16favorite. So that covers all entries and
- 21:20they'll obviously have a best overall.
- 21:22Uh, first to third. Umm and you're able to enter, I
- 21:26think uh one or other of the categories by putting the
- 21:30different hashtags which you can see in the post.
- 21:33So Trevor, uh, look up Trevor Williams post in the cabal to
- 21:36see it is a cabal competition. So uh if you want to be in you
- 21:39have to be in the cabal in the 1st place.
- 21:41So umm you know you'll be able to find it in there.
- 21:45More details, but yeah, so get your hot water, your hair dryer,
- 21:50whatever. You have to make the figures,
- 21:54pop a part and get popping and swapping.
- 21:58Got to be a cosmic one from you, Mel.
- 22:02I must admit that's sort of what I want to do.
- 22:04I'd like to kind of mix cosmic and mythic in a really cool way
- 22:08and see what we can get, but we'll see.
- 22:11We shall see, yeah. Umm, I'll be doing a mythic one,
- 22:16I think maybe with some cosmic parts that I can maybe get in.
- 22:19That would be interesting. I mean, the bug.
- 22:21The bug parts are obviously classic, but you have the bug
- 22:24parts and cause and with boxes now as well.
- 22:27So, but yeah, I think I'll think about it.
- 22:31But as you say, the longer it goes on, the more possibility it
- 22:36is that you look like you're cogging someone's homework.
- 22:40And if it gets towards the end, you just literally have to grab
- 22:42just pick parts and make no sense together and just stick
- 22:44them together and go, there you go, It's a Frankenstein,
- 22:46exactly. Oh, nobody has used these three
- 22:50figures yet. Just going to stick them
- 22:52together so it's more Gaelic and uh the the barbarian, uh Ogre
- 23:00and the troll now make that that would be a competition winner.
- 23:07He could use those three together and actually make it
- 23:09look anyway cohesive. Oh, if you can make it work,
- 23:13then it's 100% you win. Does not, only else does.
- 23:17Very cool. All right.
- 23:19Uh, so that's, uh that anymore, uh, from you guys, what you've
- 23:23been doing. You did an awesome customer with
- 23:26the Magnus head. Tell us about that.
- 23:28Oh yeah, yeah. I I just, I I'm terrible for
- 23:30getting the weapons painted. He's actually sat on the table
- 23:37here, but yeah, there. We go look at that.
- 23:42That's awesome. The.
- 23:43Arms. The arms look the same color as
- 23:45the coat, but they're not because the coat obviously
- 23:48doesn't fit quite right. I've made it so that the.
- 23:50Oh, the inside is just kind of like a waistcoat kind of thing.
- 23:54Yeah. Yeah.
- 23:55Yeah. So it's a, it's a mashup of
- 23:57Cosmic. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 24:00The Novi and Lean boots, obviously mixed with the mixed
- 24:04with the Jacob Marley boots. And you had to do a little bit
- 24:08of gluing and modifying there, didn't you?
- 24:13Created a little peg to reverse the.
- 24:15Egg Yeah, we talked about this before.
- 24:19We're hoping that maybe the the peg on for example the it's.
- 24:26Pretty steady. It's not loose.
- 24:28Yeah, we're hoping that the peg on what's the cosmic figure,
- 24:36Kern ray. Yeah, we're hoping that the peg
- 24:39is maybe the way around on her because they had to make it that
- 24:41way around for the translucency. So yeah.
- 24:46So it fits more naturally. Very good.
- 24:49I I've been painting away. I did, I did a little paint
- 24:53match to Ayas on the Mercalvo head.
- 24:55Yeah, opposed to that today in the Cosmic Cabal.
- 24:57So that's fun. That wasn't too hard.
- 25:00There was a great pro grill of a bait great color called Let Me
- 25:05Get It There, It's called red Gray, and that was a great base
- 25:09coat for that. And umm so red and Gray
- 25:12obviously could could get you close.
- 25:14Umm if you have those colors and umm, then I was able to do use a
- 25:18little bit of blue for the face and uh, there is a little bit of
- 25:22a kind of a brownish dry brush on the on the head of is
- 25:26himself. So I tried to match that as
- 25:28well, and then I just did a darkish blue for the headset on
- 25:32Mark's figure to match the Umm the pauldrons.
- 25:35So All in all it worked out uh pretty well.
- 25:39So quite happy with that. Umm Yup.
- 25:43And uh. And also painting some other
- 25:45stuff like humans. I'm wondering whether, like
- 25:48humans are so painful to paint, have a good view.
- 25:52Umm well you can get them done, but if you want them really good
- 25:55it takes time. Uh and uh yeah, I'm wondering if
- 26:00I should. If I need more quantity, I
- 26:02should just do more uh, monsters and demons and aliens and stuff
- 26:07and leave the humans to the guys that really love painting them,
- 26:12you know? Anyway, so I think it's sorry
- 26:15Emma. Do whatever you find fun, I
- 26:18think isn't it? Yeah, you do.
- 26:20I love the result. I want to be interested.
- 26:22I love the result of doing the human heads.
- 26:25But yeah, sometimes the it's because always there's a phase
- 26:29where you look at it and go, I'm going to have to strip the paint
- 26:32off this. And then you do a couple more
- 26:34coats and you're like, oh, actually, no, it's really good.
- 26:36Or you leave it for the night and then it's like, Oh yeah,
- 26:39it's actually not too bad. Yeah.
- 26:42Uh, yeah. Or just be happy that it's
- 26:44average. Maybe that's.
- 26:48Anyway, let's get in to the big chess board.
- 26:59There it is. Look at that.
- 27:00Squares really put us there. Oh, like this.
- 27:05Oh no, that's no good, is it? Nobody needs a giant Mao.
- 27:10Nobody needs. Not even Mao.
- 27:12Absolutely not. Now there we go.
- 27:15Perfect. So yeah, so this was posted
- 27:19earlier in the week and this was just a big square 6 by 6 with
- 27:27lots of different colors in it. And so we kind of fairly quickly
- 27:34thought that might be factions, I think.
- 27:36Is that fair to say? Yeah, yeah, definitely it makes
- 27:42the most sense. Same number of colors as same as
- 27:45factions. And then Rich came up with this,
- 27:48and the Horseman posted it again like this today.
- 27:51So umm, we're able to, uh, get the graphics in there as well.
- 27:58Umm. And then Rich came up with a
- 28:01load of figures to match the different thing we initially
- 28:06thought All Stars. Obviously that's now not the
- 28:08case, but maybe explain your logic a little bit behind it,
- 28:12Rich. Yeah, so my logic when I thought
- 28:16it was All Stars is like, right, this might be the last time they
- 28:18do All Stars. What are they going to do?
- 28:21So I was thinking like, well, they're not going to have any
- 28:23Legion builders. They're not going to include
- 28:26anything inside the version 2 announced, no exclusives, no
- 28:31motive homages. So it's like, right, OK, in that
- 28:35case, it's going to be all the stuff.
- 28:36So it was Soul Spiller and back was my plan.
- 28:39So there's nothing that's, you know, nothing that's been in All
- 28:41Stars already except for a couple of alumni, Soul Spiller
- 28:45back. So arathea onwards, no, they're
- 28:47seeing you still. And then it was just matching
- 28:49the, you know, the characters I thought most likely to be picked
- 28:53to each of the the factions and how many things there were
- 28:55there. OK, so let's go through what
- 28:59characters we thought and these characters could still have a
- 29:02relation to to this. So I think it's worth talking
- 29:05about. And then we have a couple of
- 29:07more things to talk about afterwards as well.
- 29:09And obviously we'd see where where this discussion brings us.
- 29:13So the first square, Sorry, Malia.
- 29:15This is a bit of this is what we thought, but we know it's not
- 29:18this. So what is it?
- 29:21But still we have faction and we need to talk about maybe
- 29:24character related to the faction.
- 29:25Unless it's a double blush and horseman and this turns out to
- 29:28be exactly right. Yeah, well, you see, as it's
- 29:32not. Not All Stars.
- 29:36Here's my other theory then. It's not All Stars, but maybe
- 29:39this is going to be a vote on characters that could be getting
- 29:43a version two, and maybe they want to ask people to vote for
- 29:46your characters that should get a version two.
- 29:49And then a couple of weeks later they say, OK, here's the version
- 29:522's UH for you in an announcement.
- 29:57Would be a lot of work for them, but.
- 30:00It's not the IT sounds complicated because yeah, you'd
- 30:03assume Eric does quite a bit of design work on the new on the
- 30:06version too. But what you're saying makes
- 30:09sense with there only really being one.
- 30:11Yeah, armies of the Odysseus character.
- 30:13Which is those though, isn't it so?
- 30:17But it's not going to be auto, I think for us here.
- 30:19So anyway, top left corner we have congregation of
- 30:22Necronominus and the first little guy in there is Brother
- 30:28Mandibulus. So tell us, Rich.
- 30:32He's just a heavy metal skeleton.
- 30:35I think he's one of everybody's favorites, if not the favorite
- 30:38from the faction. He's never won an All Stars
- 30:41vote, obviously, hence he's on the list.
- 30:43It's just a gulp. That's amazing.
- 30:46So he he's got to be in. If they were going to do, you
- 30:48know, would you like these figures remade, then he has to
- 30:51be one of them. And do you think that, do you
- 30:57think that he wasn't in the vote before, was he?
- 31:01He's been in one, I think. I'm sure I remember seeing him
- 31:04in one of them, but he didn't get through.
- 31:06Yeah, So there's Brother Man. He's.
- 31:11One of those, those new Necronominus coming this year,
- 31:14more people could want him. And again, I think since he's
- 31:18been in the vote, there'll be a lot more new people into the
- 31:21line as well. I think the last few years has
- 31:24just been a steady increase in of newcomers, hasn't there so.
- 31:29There has indeed, Yeah. Well.
- 31:31One of my other ideas, which we'll cover later, may well have
- 31:35a type of this in any. Way.
- 31:38OK, cool. The next one, then we have is
- 31:42House of the Noble Bear, So Rich that is.
- 31:46I don't often wax lyrical about House of the Noble Bear
- 31:48characters. In fact, they never do.
- 31:51But if I had to pick one I genuinely like is this fella
- 31:53Helmer Golden Zoo. He's the best dwarf in the line
- 31:57that we've got in hand. I think the new 2 pack from the
- 32:01The Rising Sun's Wave would challenge you definitely, but
- 32:04it's just a it's just a great figure.
- 32:07Good colors Grace head sculpt. He's never been an All Star, so
- 32:13one of the few really old ones that hasn't been So his time has
- 32:16come. His time has come out there.
- 32:20Yeah, I'd take him as an All Star awesome dwarf.
- 32:24I'd take him as a candidate for the second version.
- 32:30Mal, you got this guy. No, don't own him.
- 32:35I'd yeah, I'd love to have him. I actually think he's one we
- 32:40will get two point a version two of though at some point.
- 32:44I don't think we will. You see, I think I think this is
- 32:46a pretty decent figure as it is and I don't think it's a big
- 32:50enough characters to get aversion to.
- 32:51So I think the only way we're going to get him is through a re
- 32:54release. Wow.
- 32:56Good with either, so right? Another Noble Bear K Door
- 33:03Barbarian with the helmet. Probably the most underrated
- 33:07noble bear character. Nobody ever, ever talks about
- 33:11him. You never see him for sale.
- 33:12Nobody talks about him. But it's a really nice figure
- 33:15I've got. I think I said before my K door
- 33:17is most of it is genuine Kador bits.
- 33:20And then I didn't was missing ahead so I had to get Drew
- 33:23Grubbs to paint that helmet, you know, or one of that helmet from
- 33:26a different figure to match him sort of thing.
- 33:29But it's a it's a great, really imposing barbarian.
- 33:33Right. OK.
- 33:35Mal Kador I've Barbarian, I'd. Have to get it.
- 33:40I'd have to get him again because he was one of those that
- 33:42came in that loft they got that all ended up being cigarette
- 33:46stained and smelling. So yeah, although funnily enough
- 33:50he's one of them that came out not so bad.
- 33:53I think he's a bit darker than he should be, but.
- 33:56Yeah, I'd have to get a refresh of him, this cigarette colorway.
- 34:04Morghalid. Yeah.
- 34:06Really important character. Obviously.
- 34:09You know, she was the leader of the congregation until
- 34:14Necronominus and Thoracis came back.
- 34:18Very underrated character again. And the head sculpt is just out
- 34:20of this world. It's one of the best ones, the
- 34:22force when they've done. It's so unique.
- 34:24I think a lot of people would want her just to add her to
- 34:27their congregation ranks to go with the rest of the children.
- 34:32Yeah, I've said this before. I know it's unfair, but it is
- 34:35literally based on the quality of the paint they do.
- 34:41Now it's there isn't enough paint detail on her head.
- 34:48It's true it's 1 silver color with maybe a wash, but I don't
- 34:52even think there is. Well, the Scott is incredible.
- 34:58I came into the line after she'd been released, but aren't there
- 35:01pictures of her with a much more painted head?
- 35:05Some painted. I think that was like a kind of
- 35:10a the original version they were going to do, they never publicly
- 35:14announced that and I think behind the scenes they'd
- 35:17obviously done a couple of of test runs and but when during
- 35:24the Kickstarter this was the only one for sure that that was
- 35:27right. And somebody ages kind of can't
- 35:31remember who it was but they did a human version of oh so they
- 35:35put one of the human female 4 horsemen heads in to that and
- 35:40flesh arms and that sort of thing and that looked incredible
- 35:43too. That's pretty cool.
- 35:44That's pretty cool. And this won't be a very popular
- 35:48one. I would say the next one.
- 35:51No. And this break, and this breaks
- 35:53my soul. Spiller and before rules, it's
- 35:56the only one that does. But there was literally no
- 35:58characters in the Amelia Odysseus that fitted into the
- 36:01rules I had, so I picked Faustia, who was the next member
- 36:04of the Amelia Odysseus after that cut off.
- 36:09She's a great figure. I hate her because she keeps
- 36:10falling off my shelf and will not stay up there on a stand on
- 36:13anything, but in principle she's a lovely figure, lovely colours.
- 36:18The hood's really cool. But yeah, she's a proper she's a
- 36:21very definition of a shelf diver.
- 36:23Yeah, she relies heavily on leaning on the staff.
- 36:26For me, even that doesn't work for me.
- 36:28I've, I've, I've even had a sitting down and she's fallen
- 36:30off the shelf somehow. It's like it's like she's
- 36:32possessed. Maybe she's on her way over to
- 36:37the neck. Necronominus.
- 36:39Maybe Toy Story is true. She's just, she's the one that
- 36:42never gets back in the right place.
- 36:46So she does have an incredible paint app and she is a nice
- 36:50figure to have. And you get the alternative army
- 36:53builder head. So you can do her with a couple
- 36:57of guards or you can just turn them all into kind of guards
- 37:02within your army of Lee Odysseus.
- 37:04So I do like that sometimes about the army leaders, there's
- 37:07a lot of the figures you can make into just army builders
- 37:11because they're. Yeah. 100% if you go to army
- 37:14build, that's probably the best faction for it, Yeah, because
- 37:17you can just, you have more, you know, 10 guards to behind the
- 37:20same thing. They do the same with Magnus.
- 37:23I think Adriana is the same. Obviously of the red shield
- 37:27soldier you could if you had an although and if he was re
- 37:31released you could definitely stick a a silver head knight
- 37:35helmet on him or something and he's a legion better as well.
- 37:40I mean, does although it doesn't come with the alternate head,
- 37:43does it? No, you just had the one head.
- 37:45Yeah, OK, Maybe that's why he was under ordered initially.
- 37:51Funny. Umm right.
- 37:53Pox's figure. Uh Zaria.
- 37:57Yeah, she's only one of the sort of demons that we've not had re
- 38:01released. Obviously we had Azar, who
- 38:03nobody really liked, but he still won through somehow.
- 38:07Zazar a bit more popular. And then Zaria, she's a nice
- 38:09figure. I had her, I sold her during one
- 38:12of my purges. But she's a lovely figure.
- 38:14And again, now we've got more the poxes figures than that.
- 38:17Just would allow people to flesh out the ranks a little bit.
- 38:21Yeah, Azar definitely got through because people wanted to
- 38:24do the blue and the yellow with the Azar.
- 38:27Azar. So yeah, she's a great figure
- 38:31actually. And even with the fact that she
- 38:33has hooves, she doesn't tend to fall over that much for me
- 38:36anyway. No, same with me, actually.
- 38:38She actually, maybe that's the key.
- 38:39With 2.0, it's getting more hooves.
- 38:42Gwendolyn hooves, Delfina hooves, Faustia hooves.
- 38:46It's like, yeah. Would you have used area now?
- 38:53I haven't got. Heard.
- 38:54Really. But she's one of them I would
- 38:56really, really like. Yeah, She's just never.
- 38:59Had the chance, I'm. Very glad I I I did pass on her,
- 39:03uh, in the Kickstarter, but I got her in that big bad Toy
- 39:06Story stock that time. Uh the.
- 39:10Halcyon days. The Halcyon days.
- 39:12The worst vampire Carpathias. You know my feelings of this
- 39:18guy. I don't like him, but he is an
- 39:19older character for some reason. He does sell for a decent amount
- 39:22on eBay. Etcetera.
- 39:25He was a great character back in wave one, but now that you've
- 39:28got what you've got subsequently, it's like Bah, you
- 39:31know he's one. Of those, as soon as I'm.
- 39:34Sorry, I was. Just going to say, as soon as
- 39:36the vampire night came out in Advent of Decay, this guy was
- 39:38just like me. I mean, I've got one.
- 39:40He's on my, you know, he's part of my my brood, but it's just a
- 39:44map. But he's in all the characters
- 39:45now. He's in there because of that.
- 39:46He'd be one of the alumni, Yeah, options.
- 39:49But I think people listen to this that, you know, a lot of
- 39:52them will have holes in their collection that involve a lot of
- 39:55these figures. So uh, and also people may be
- 39:58new to the line. It's interesting to to maybe see
- 40:01what figures potentially could be hard to get down the line,
- 40:04including this fella who is literally impossible to get.
- 40:10It's not even that he costs an arm and a leg.
- 40:12It's just that he's not available.
- 40:13Pretty much, yeah. So Galleron, and I think people
- 40:19have said numerous times, all the pictures don't dim justice.
- 40:22They don't show the real paint color yet.
- 40:24No one's taken a more updated picture to show the real paint
- 40:27color. So I think that's part of what
- 40:29doesn't drive the buzz, is that no one.
- 40:31It's like they're almost trying to keep him in a cupboard.
- 40:33He's like the, you know, the the cousin that nobody wants to
- 40:35admit is part of the family. So he's just like, yeah, it's a
- 40:37terrible picture. We're not going to take any more
- 40:39though. No, that's fine.
- 40:40You just made do with that, you know.
- 40:42He even missed out on a previous All Star vote, which is crazy
- 40:44something. Everyone thought he'd get in
- 40:45easily, but for some reason it didn't make it.
- 40:47Funny, yeah. And Trevor has taken the updated
- 40:50pictures. I don't know if he's taken this
- 40:52guy yet, but you know, put it on the website.
- 40:56People need to appreciate these with these nice blue hue.
- 41:04So Asterion. He was close last year in the
- 41:09alumni vote. He was this guy's, this guy's
- 41:13awesome. I I bought him because it was
- 41:15comparatively cheap. I think I got him for like 80 or
- 41:1890 LB, which in the scheme of things is not the end of the
- 41:20world, thinking like, well, I'll get him because he's not a bad
- 41:24deal. And then the second I put my
- 41:25shop was like, yeah, this guy's one of the mainstays of the
- 41:27flock. Now he's just got such a
- 41:29presence. I know we've had other minor
- 41:31source since, but it's the whole human sort of skin tone and then
- 41:34the the black minus or head just just works perfectly.
- 41:38You have one. Well, don't you?
- 41:42No. I really want him.
- 41:44He's another one I really want. Sorry, you must have confused
- 41:46him with someone else. I'd Love, Actually.
- 41:49A taunting male episode, John. Yeah.
- 41:51Male. You listen on, you know, OK, You
- 41:53got this. No.
- 41:53OK. I don't have him either, so I'd
- 41:59buy a load of this guy number one to have the character #2.
- 42:02Then I would try and paint a couple of human or or barbarian
- 42:06heads to match this skin tone. That would be and a nice bit of
- 42:10variety in the Li in the line. Umm and Speaking of variety in
- 42:14the lancadriel. Uh a beautiful figure Umm
- 42:20amazing paint uh to go with your Sir Ignatius.
- 42:23That's coming up soon uh in the All Stars 6.
- 42:30Soon to be released hopefully and by the end of the year
- 42:33anyway. Umm yeah, be no brainer to re
- 42:36release her wouldn't it? Yeah, she's really underrated.
- 42:40Yeah. I'm sorry if I'm looking
- 42:40nervous. For anyone who watches YouTube
- 42:42with this, it's because both my gerbils are out having a drink
- 42:45and John gets quite funny about my gerbils having a drink while
- 42:47I'm podcasting and the noise coming through the microphone.
- 42:49So. Just hover over that mute.
- 42:50Actually just. Just, yeah.
- 42:53Just hover over that. Waffles.
- 42:54Pancake. Be quiet, dude.
- 42:58Child names would not make just for clear on that.
- 43:01They won't be. Don't be drinking for the next
- 43:03hour. Hopefully, yeah.
- 43:04She's a completely underestimated figure.
- 43:07The the as you said John the the armour is incredible.
- 43:10You know you get gold wings with how cool is that.
- 43:13The only reason I sold mine was because I just.
- 43:16I hate that head sculpt. Like, really, really genuinely
- 43:20dislike. You get a you get a generic head
- 43:23sculpt as well. You do, but I wasn't a huge fan
- 43:24of that either. If there'd been a better
- 43:26unhelmeted head under kept her, but because there wasn't, then
- 43:30she had to bite the dust. I said I would love to see her
- 43:32get re released here. Is it because the hair is maybe
- 43:35more modern? Possibly.
- 43:37It could well be that. Actually, yeah, it's it's a it's
- 43:40a very modern looking head compared to most of the other
- 43:42ones you get in in legions. Except the Delphina that looks
- 43:49like she's had the Rachel from Friends haircut.
- 43:51You know, a no brainer here. King Bramden.
- 43:59Yeah. In terms of accessories and
- 44:01parts not he's the best dwarf in the line at the moment that's
- 44:04been released. So yeah just total no brainer.
- 44:08And he he really is one that if they do every shoot him again
- 44:13get multiple so you can have him and two more at least as guards
- 44:17because they the helmet that goes that goes with that as like
- 44:20a guards helmet is so good. And then you've got this cool
- 44:24crown to use another figures. Or, you know, using as an
- 44:28accessory or whatever, You can turn it upside down and use it
- 44:32as something else. So pretty cool, Mal.
- 44:36You'd take another Brandon, wouldn't you?
- 44:39Yeah, I do. Depends on how much money I've
- 44:41got at the time. We're assuming we're assuming no
- 44:45money problems here. Yeah, I mean, you'd be good for
- 44:49fodder because it's black armor again, isn't it?
- 44:51But in dwarf scale, so always good.
- 44:55If he gets re released Mal, it'll just be a little cost.
- 45:05Yeah, depends how short on money I am.
- 45:10Right. And and maybe it'll just use
- 45:14them in Cosmic Well. That's it.
- 45:17You could you could use the parts for but yeah, I need to
- 45:21save money for others may have may have ordered a few more for
- 45:26Fisher rice, all from Big Bat. Oh my goodness.
- 45:33When Mal says a few more, he means 12, at least 12.
- 45:36Not quite that many years. Lucretia, Now that is a good
- 45:41vampire. It's a great vampire.
- 45:43I love Lucretia. She's a faction leader, so
- 45:47people do need a very underrated, again, really good
- 45:50looking head sculpt, great figure.
- 45:53We've not actually ever seen that neck piece again, have we?
- 45:56No, I don't. Think we have No.
- 46:00No. Nope.
- 46:00The only time I've ever seen it used again was people.
- 46:02When they're making mind flayers, they seem to love using
- 46:04that piece. It's very cool.
- 46:06It's great, yeah. I've seen it on a few customs
- 46:08but again it's it's quite a difficult piece to track down
- 46:11Now for a custom and and I'm sure one of those ones that
- 46:16because it's flexible plastic you need to be careful with
- 46:19priming it and stuff before you paint it.
- 46:22So just a a gut check here on We Have 12 Revealed.
- 46:29Do we think most of these could get a version too?
- 46:32Under my theory, maybe. Eh, Brother Mandibulus.
- 46:36Definitely. He's a Morgalith.
- 46:38Good Morgalith. Hallmere we'd say.
- 46:41Possibly Zaria Karpatius is an important character.
- 46:48Lucretia can definitely get one. Galleron seems to be an
- 46:51important character too. Asterion we start no, because he
- 46:55was in the alumni, and by that theory it means that he wasn't
- 46:59important enough to get a version 2.
- 47:02So, Yep, Gadrielle not too sure about her.
- 47:10I think they could. I mean if they if they really
- 47:12want to sort of get her closer to Ignatius, then they could
- 47:16obviously paint the armor a little bit more like his.
- 47:19And at the moment, she's the only Angel, isn't she?
- 47:22Really? So from that perspective, she's
- 47:25quite important in the line. Drew.
- 47:28Uh, Bramden is a version two. I think at this point, uh, he he
- 47:33couldn't really be cast up any better.
- 47:35Yeah, he couldn't. Uh and Lucretia could be, but I
- 47:39don't know what parts they have available or other than maybe
- 47:43soft goods and stuff, right? Or in Steelhide.
- 47:51Brilliant. I think people would lose their
- 47:52mind if this guy was offered up again.
- 47:54I think he's one of these ones that would definitely sail
- 47:56through, yeah, looking at the armor color, you know, all that
- 48:00sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah, love him.
- 48:05Dwarf from the Flock, I think The only dwarf from the Flock is
- 48:07he, Yeah. Yeah, he is, Yeah.
- 48:11He'd been alumni because he's been in an All Stars already.
- 48:13Yeah, but he's a great figure. Although just bring me traumatic
- 48:17memories because I sold mine a while back to somebody who will
- 48:21remain nameless. It was a complete a hole about
- 48:23the whole thing. Oh, try to swizzle some money
- 48:26out of me, yeah, all sorts of stuff.
- 48:28So yeah. Oh, right next we get.
- 48:36Angry. Very cool, yeah.
- 48:41The rarity would get him voted for, I think.
- 48:44Personally, I don't like him. The Silvers are too bright for
- 48:47an Ork. It's it's too shiny and he's
- 48:49like a boy band Ork. It's like look at my, look at my
- 48:52glowy skin, look at my shiny silver armor.
- 48:55It's like, no, but he's in all the characters that people would
- 48:57want to. Yeah, he's one for me that if it
- 49:01was, if he was like the only one from an All In that wasn't
- 49:06fussed about, I'd just get the all in and have him.
- 49:10But he is. He's the most orkish Ork Ork
- 49:13that you can ever see. And I'm not that big a fan of
- 49:15the Orkish Ork Ork. Yeah, I'd take him.
- 49:20Is that the name of the band Mal?
- 49:26Pixa smell You're a fan. Need big time I'm this close to
- 49:34spending an absolute fortune on to get him.
- 49:37Wait, another couple of weeks. Let's see.
- 49:39Even if they say, Oh yeah, you know, after this stuff happening
- 49:43here, this stuff happening here, and.
- 49:46But now if you're if you're a fan of Mercurians and cool armor
- 49:49colors and this guy's the no, I know he's not Mercurian now, but
- 49:53it's just a no brainer. For me, he's purely the Pixel
- 49:56Dan Link I wonder. I'd keep.
- 49:58I'd keep the bio, keep the card fully intact.
- 50:02And if I ever got a chance to meet Pixel Dan, get him to sign
- 50:04that and that, that'd be. I keep forgetting his Pixel Dan
- 50:09homage because Pixel Dan doesn't really do anything with legions
- 50:11anymore, does he So? It's just the occasional bit,
- 50:15but not like you used. To the Moto beat is pretty busy,
- 50:18you know. Yeah, it is Malachi Cinderhorn.
- 50:26One one of my favorites, although it's 2.0 I would say
- 50:29this tonight, but he's a 2.01 of my favorite characters.
- 50:33I love evil elves, this guy. The face sculpt is just pure
- 50:38smirking evil. I love it.
- 50:43Yeah, let's get him again. And now that Paxos has a refresh
- 50:47we could do with people might be missing them him from their
- 50:51collection, so he'd be a good one.
- 50:53And and we've also got his daughter now.
- 50:57We do Manisha, yeah. And a Goblin Knob.
- 51:02Nick. Underrated goblin.
- 51:06I think anyone that's got him knows how good he is.
- 51:08Again, really sort of evil face sculpt.
- 51:12I think this is to be a bill from door.
- 51:15Claire's one of his favorites. It is.
- 51:17Yeah, he's a cool one. He's a he's a great figure.
- 51:22Yeah, I probably. I have all the goblins, but I'd
- 51:25probably buy him again. Yeah, initially I wasn't fuss
- 51:29about the goblins, but he was the one.
- 51:30I think it was him and King Noglin.
- 51:32The two of them just sort of drew me in and then once I had
- 51:35them, it's like I need the goblins.
- 51:37Explain this one hagnon. What do you?
- 51:39What do you Are we on? It was the only fit there wasn't
- 51:43it? Was that everything else
- 51:45basically been in already other than the skeleton Soldier 2.0 I
- 51:48think? It's like you've done the Sudoku
- 51:51and you were like, Oh yeah, there must be a nine in there.
- 51:53Yeah, basically, yeah. Otherwise, there's no way I'd
- 51:55put this visible piece of you know what in.
- 52:02Now do you want to say on this or?
- 52:05I mean, I don't see him being done again, but I, you know, I
- 52:09like him, but I don't see why they.
- 52:11We have a blue one which is the same, yeah, currently at the
- 52:15retailers. And really cool.
- 52:17I really like the blue one. I think it's possibly better
- 52:21than the clear one. I need to go through and look at
- 52:23the retailers actually in the next couple of weeks and see how
- 52:27many of those sold out at retailers.
- 52:30That would be interesting to see.
- 52:33I'm going to say no. The blue hagon, possibly for
- 52:37blue. Hagon but Lee Ji think there's a
- 52:40chance he's in. Virtually.
- 52:44Shadow Elf Ranger. Another Paxus.
- 52:46He's a ex, yeah. Fabulous figure.
- 52:49I think although we got minisha coming up with the the Sun's
- 52:53Wave, it's been so long since the The Shadow Walks were
- 52:58available. I think a lot of people would
- 52:59want those to get in there and get them, so it's between him
- 53:02and the the Shadow Elf warrior. But this one's a cooler figure,
- 53:06so that's why I picked this one. You got him, man.
- 53:11No, I haven't got any of the Shadow Elves.
- 53:13I'm not a big, I'm not a big elf fan.
- 53:16Mal, if you turn you back to the screen, John's going to plunge
- 53:19that knife in over. And over again he might.
- 53:20He mightn't want him, but the sounds of it, he doesn't even
- 53:23want him. Well, I would say of the elves,
- 53:26the Shadow Elves, the most interesting, and I do think the
- 53:29Shadow Elf Ranger is pretty cool.
- 53:32It's one of those if you know when there was a bit more of an
- 53:35abundance of around that time, Big Bad had them all that that
- 53:40that sacred time that we all remember.
- 53:43If I'd gotten through the ones I wanted most, I'd have gone
- 53:47picking up things like the Shadow Elf Ranger, you know?
- 53:51Fair enough. I'm looking at this now and I'm
- 53:54thinking, is there a significance to the way the
- 53:58squares are laid out? Because now we have 2 basilia
- 54:01figures one after the other. I mean it's really just randomly
- 54:06generate, just random. Wow.
- 54:08Yeah, I was. I was thinking the same thing
- 54:10when I was trying to figure out because I was trying to think,
- 54:12oh, there must be an alumni, but.
- 54:13That's only. But then I couldn't think of 6
- 54:15alumni figures that could possibly in there anyway, and
- 54:18there's no obvious patterns. I think might just randomly
- 54:21generate it. To get the two, the only two,
- 54:24Basilia, one after the other, just anyway, they're going to be
- 54:27great. Here's the first one.
- 54:29Balam you. Got to remember though John,
- 54:30they put put a post out this morning with Basilia and Noble
- 54:33Bear the wrong way around, so I wouldn't be shocked if they just
- 54:36coincidentally popped next to each.
- 54:37Other Now there's a good point. Yeah.
- 54:41Balam, your favorite figure in the line.
- 54:43John, one of my favorite figures.
- 54:44That armor color is outstanding. The paint job on the heads?
- 54:48Incredible. It comes with a bucket helmet as
- 54:51well. So you can have Knights of it.
- 54:53You just, yeah, it's a no brainer.
- 54:55It needs to be. Absolutely excellent.
- 54:57Excellent figure. He's very cool.
- 55:01I've got him. I don't it's it's another one of
- 55:08those that if it was, I'm in no rush to get another one but it
- 55:16is a cool figure and if they did, if it was the one that of
- 55:20like you know, again, blah blah, yeah, gotcha.
- 55:25OK then moving on we have Sir Joran, Rune Shaper.
- 55:32Sorry, sorry. Yes.
- 55:33So this would be another alumni one because he's been an All
- 55:35Star before. The dwarves are the in thing at
- 55:39the moment. Everyone's loving the dwarves.
- 55:41This is a dwarf mage who doesn't like that amazing color armour.
- 55:46So yeah. And another one with a bucket
- 55:48helmet as well and the plume. Oh, he does.
- 55:51I forgot about that, yes. Green plume as well.
- 55:53If you want to have a little bunch of green plumes along with
- 55:56some of your different other figures, that would be cool.
- 56:00And yeah, I'd take another Durant.
- 56:04And he was one of the ones I, one of the only ones that I went
- 56:07back to pick up at slightly over retail, so.
- 56:13Yeah, I was debating As for this spot, but I think because he's
- 56:17just that bit older and the dwarves are so popular at the
- 56:19moment, that's why he went through for me.
- 56:22Mal, what's your thoughts on him?
- 56:24I'd love this guy. I would absolutely love to have
- 56:26him. I'd quite like as the spirit
- 56:28Bender as well, but they hate this guy more than her any day.
- 56:32I love the colorfulness of him. Yeah, again, he's a dwarf.
- 56:35Yeah, exactly. And that head is, even though we
- 56:37got it in the that's the head we got in the heads back, isn't it?
- 56:42Yes, it is yet. Yeah, it's excellent.
- 56:45Paris here has. Green Wings, yeah.
- 56:48They're they're really and there's a little bit of a kind
- 56:51of gradient on them, so really nice and arithear barrier.
- 56:58This is the figure in hand, I think surprised me more than any
- 57:01other figure I've had in a line. It was just like, well, it's,
- 57:04you know, it's a pig. That's quite cool.
- 57:05Yeah. And then you open it up and
- 57:07this, you know, the details are great.
- 57:09The little tail comes withering. Really cool weapons.
- 57:13Yeah, the weathering is great. It's mismatched armor as well,
- 57:17sort of things. You've got the dark bronzes and
- 57:19the silvers and the Reds and it's just just really, really
- 57:23surprisingly great. Figure Yeah, I love them as
- 57:28well. I wish I'd got multiples.
- 57:29I just have one. So I'd love an army of these or
- 57:35small army. Obviously not a, was it?
- 57:39Was it Pat Boyle? I think he was painting them in
- 57:41the the colors of the American NFL teams.
- 57:44The heads. So yeah, not the whole body,
- 57:46just the heads. I think, yeah, he's got like a
- 57:49eight at least. I think oh, you might have
- 57:52changed them into dwarves or something maybe and just had the
- 57:55heads left maybe. Umm yeah, I the only thing.
- 58:02And it absolutely doesn't matter because they unbox them, but he
- 58:06looks stupid in the package. Oh, he looks ridiculous in the
- 58:09package because that face, that head is so long that you had to
- 58:13just tilt it. Up longer than the package, so
- 58:16they have to tilt it to the side.
- 58:18So yeah, I mean, he must have some Crick in his neck after
- 58:21getting out of the package. If you look at the box, it looks
- 58:24like someone's killed him in the box and he's just, like, slumped
- 58:27with his head to one side. Yeah, he's dead.
- 58:30Yeah, and the Jesse Arnold tribute.
- 58:33Thistle Torn. Thistle Thorn I was going to say
- 58:37one of my suggestions for this. The whole 36 would be the 24
- 58:41that Jeremy Gerard bought off Big Bad Toy Store that time,
- 58:45plus another 12 and all all painters.
- 58:47The different factions, the different factions, Petal
- 58:50painters, the different factions.
- 58:51It's like there you go, 36 different Thistle Thorns.
- 58:56He's great. The the painter on him is
- 58:58amazing and he cut it comes with the green version of the sword
- 59:01horseman so. Yeah, Excellent.
- 59:05Yeah, he's a. Bad piece of.
- 59:08I could see him in whatever this actually ends up being, him
- 59:12being part of it because I'm hearing quite a few people
- 59:15pushing for him lately. He's a cool figure.
- 59:20I think so. Furyork is an excellent figure.
- 59:25It's a good figure Red and blacks in, well, it's always in
- 59:28because they're great combination.
- 59:30But you know, I think people would go crazy over this.
- 59:32One of our subscribers, our patrons rather Ryan would go
- 59:35absolutely mental over this, so. With the Fury, I wonder if he
- 59:41might ended up being busted down, so to speak, to a Legion
- 59:46builder. Possibly.
- 59:48Because you think, you think about what they're doing with
- 59:50the legion builders now? He was a. 28 Yeah, he was a
- 59:54$28.00 figure back in the day, so they could maybe take an
- 1:00:00accessory off him and. Yeah, well, they could Chuck him
- 1:00:04in as a reinforcement like they did in Silverhorn Century.
- 1:00:06Maybe it's a he's generic, therefore we can Chuck him in as
- 1:00:09a slightly more expensive reinforcement.
- 1:00:11Yeah. And.
- 1:00:12I keep thinking they're going to do that with him.
- 1:00:14If this if there's some sort of vote around whatever this is, I
- 1:00:18feel he's going to be, you know, if the six getting in, he'll be
- 1:00:21seventh, you know, is that type of character or if there's five
- 1:00:25getting in, he'll be sixth, you know, Yeah, just he's cool and
- 1:00:31people will. The irony is he'll sell more
- 1:00:34than probably the first figure because people will buy three of
- 1:00:39him, whereas they'll buy one Otto, you know, for example.
- 1:00:44So it's a funny 1 Juno, definitely.
- 1:00:49I could see a version two of Juno in the future.
- 1:00:51I could see a rerelease of Juno in the future.
- 1:00:54I don't know that she's that important story wise though, is
- 1:00:57she? But she's simply not an awesome
- 1:01:00figure, you know? Yeah, and I'd love A2 pointer.
- 1:01:03I think I can. I think the way I could see a
- 1:01:05version two is if they used the 1.0 body like never.
- 1:01:09Yeah. And just made it that that that
- 1:01:11much bigger. That could be.
- 1:01:13And again, maybe if they decide, wouldn't it be great to release
- 1:01:18Juno in a, you know, version two?
- 1:01:21They could make her more important than the story.
- 1:01:24Yeah, she could have an evolution within the story.
- 1:01:28I mean, she's still seeking revenge on, yeah, Atlas.
- 1:01:31So what if? She's going to kill Atlas, yes.
- 1:01:34You know, Yes. Suddenly downfall.
- 1:01:37Suddenly it's richest favorite figure.
- 1:01:43Version 2 with her wearing his his mullet as a cap.
- 1:01:49Or just comes with the accessory of Atlas's decomposed coat
- 1:01:54ahead. The Horsemen wouldn't do that,
- 1:01:58so don't worry about it, they. Wouldn't know they did snow.
- 1:02:01Another beautiful lady. Gwendolyn Heavens Brand.
- 1:02:05Beautiful figure, beautifully painted.
- 1:02:07Will not stand for shit. So I sold mine because she just,
- 1:02:11again, she just kept falling over.
- 1:02:13Not not quite fausty levels, but she just kept falling over.
- 1:02:15So it's like you're gone. But as far as the figure goes,
- 1:02:19beautiful. The paint job's fabulous.
- 1:02:22I love the fact the riser moves up and down.
- 1:02:23That's really beautiful. Lovely.
- 1:02:25It's a purple plume, I think. Yeah, really nice.
- 1:02:31I love her. I ever I bought a bunch of her
- 1:02:35in an in stock sale and sold her to different people.
- 1:02:39Umm, because she's a great figure and there was loads of
- 1:02:42her left and I knew people would want them eventually.
- 1:02:45I didn't. I sold her for like 65.
- 1:02:48It wasn't crazy, but I just knew that I'd be able to sell her
- 1:02:51easy. Umm, Freya.
- 1:02:55It's all about the Vikings at the moment, isn't it?
- 1:02:57So she's as Viking as you get with the living character.
- 1:03:01Yeah. So yeah, she's she'd have to be
- 1:03:03on there. Yeah, Freya's a great figure.
- 1:03:05Freya's top notch. If you can get a Freya, uh.
- 1:03:09It's like if you compare, say, Freya to Dorina, there's no
- 1:03:15comparison. Freya.
- 1:03:18Even if you're into he man, which I understand the tribute
- 1:03:21aspect, Freya is miles better. Yeah, and a bio is so good as
- 1:03:26well. You know, killer, she
- 1:03:27resurrects. Killer, she resurrects.
- 1:03:29It's just like, that's just cool.
- 1:03:32She got 9 loaves. Let me cat.
- 1:03:34She is one though I do wonder if we will get a version two offer
- 1:03:39though as well possibly and then whatever this is and if it is a
- 1:03:44vote type thing and she appears could.
- 1:03:45Be more like a Valkyrie guard type, you know?
- 1:03:51Or unbeknownsters. We've had the version 2 already
- 1:03:53and that's the the Viking fell skeleton in the retailer wave
- 1:03:56because she didn't regenerate once.
- 1:04:03Now this phone is from the flock.
- 1:04:06This is a figure that will win All Stars.
- 1:04:08Voter get very close. Yeah, one of my favorite figures
- 1:04:11in the line. I think the I think the very
- 1:04:13first right now, I think the very first one I opened when I
- 1:04:15got my first 12 through from the advent of decay in stock sale is
- 1:04:20like that's that's just like a that's a tree man.
- 1:04:22I want to open that. I want to open that.
- 1:04:24Yeah, tree head unique, never been used again.
- 1:04:27You know, they could easily, not easily, but they could even use
- 1:04:32this head again in the more with a different paint job and make
- 1:04:36it look different to Faunus I think.
- 1:04:42Another one, though potentially version two.
- 1:04:45He's commander of the armies, the Silverhorn centuries.
- 1:04:48He's definitely important enough for a version two and hit that.
- 1:04:53That actually reminds me, now that I have a couple of
- 1:04:55Silverhorn centuries from the reinforcements, I can now do
- 1:05:01them. I need to do redo my flock shelf
- 1:05:03so I can do Faunus leading the century.
- 1:05:07Well, I got to so they could flank him.
- 1:05:10No space to do it, but. See if the Four Horsemen go
- 1:05:13crazy and start doing the Mattel idea of on the Hasbro idea of
- 1:05:16just making everything seasonal themed.
- 1:05:19You can have a Christmas faunus. We'd like Christmas tree
- 1:05:22baubles, hanging off the antlers and all this sort of stuff.
- 1:05:25You can paint his face to be more reindeer esque.
- 1:05:27I would. It's quite.
- 1:05:28Chilly by that. Of course you would, yeah.
- 1:05:31You bought turtles a grey skull? This would be a step up.
- 1:05:41Yeah. Doesn't Krampus come with those?
- 1:05:42Kind of little bells. And then coming up, Sons of the
- 1:05:46Red Star and who we got here? We need to move it on for
- 1:05:51ourselves. Oh Lord.
- 1:05:53Viteris. Yeah, I.
- 1:05:55Mean everyone's favorite porn star mercenary with that
- 1:05:59moustache. So it's I mean my 1 gripe with
- 1:06:03Viteris is the the the the an armored arms.
- 1:06:06I think that's a real pain but the armour colour is beautiful.
- 1:06:11It's different to everything else.
- 1:06:13You got a couple of head options.
- 1:06:15It's got this purple's going through where you know me and
- 1:06:17purple so. Lovely thing when I got this
- 1:06:20figure first, the bare arms completely took me by surprise
- 1:06:24in a good way. Thought that made it look so
- 1:06:27much better. Just just kind of something
- 1:06:32unique for him. This is the one that makes me
- 1:06:38question that made me go, well this will be funny for All Stars
- 1:06:41because I can't see them redoing Lord for tears.
- 1:06:46Yeah, but I also can't see what other member of the Flock of the
- 1:06:51Red Stars they would redo. Yeah.
- 1:06:53Because most of them are tributes.
- 1:06:55Or Grisha would be the other one, no?
- 1:06:59Grisha's the one that comes to mind, yeah.
- 1:07:02We get to that. We have.
- 1:07:03We have that later. Yeah.
- 1:07:04I left Grisha out of this one, though, because Grisha's been in
- 1:07:08at least the last two, I think votes.
- 1:07:09Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's why Grisha was left
- 1:07:12out of this one, Yeah? This one I was confused by,
- 1:07:17toward from the noble bear. I would have thought he would
- 1:07:23have gone for version two of him.
- 1:07:26I don't think they'll do a version two of him.
- 1:07:28I think because they've re released, both are as he was and
- 1:07:33they're like mortal enemies. I think they'll just really
- 1:07:35release this guy as he is. I don't think they'll do a
- 1:07:37version to him because he looked too weird against both are.
- 1:07:41But is he not more important than both are?
- 1:07:45I think they're intertwined. I know what you mean about him
- 1:07:47being important, but I think their storyline is quite
- 1:07:50intertwined and I because of that, I don't think they'd do a
- 1:07:53version two. Yeah, but I'd love it if they
- 1:07:54did, like. You know, Thorage is probably
- 1:07:58way more successful in his career as you know what he's
- 1:08:03doing in the noble bear and he's kind of more important in that
- 1:08:07faction. And yes, so some other guy from,
- 1:08:10you know, both are from Arthur's faction is hates him, but he's a
- 1:08:15nothing in that faction, you know.
- 1:08:17So I don't know what a good discussion though.
- 1:08:23Yeah, maybe it's just me hoping they don't do version to use a
- 1:08:25too many noble bad characters, you know?
- 1:08:27Subconscious, Subconscious. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:08:30Yeah. Unconscious bias.
- 1:08:32It's just like no, no. Thord is a very high value
- 1:08:36figure these days. Very good.
- 1:08:38I don't have him. Do you have him now?
- 1:08:40No. If he ever went into an All Star
- 1:08:43vote, he'd sail through. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 1:08:46Yeah. Etheron, Delfina.
- 1:08:50Yeah. Again, the word.
- 1:08:51An awful lot of order of Etheron.
- 1:08:54Nice to put in, but I do love this one.
- 1:08:57It's nice to have a a different body shape for the Templars,
- 1:09:00although that's changed slightly now with the relic guards and
- 1:09:03the dark templars and everything.
- 1:09:04Although it's the same body, the different colours and that give
- 1:09:06it enough of a a break up on the shelf as it were.
- 1:09:09But again, she comes with two heads, the Jennifer from Friends
- 1:09:13one and the As you said, John and the helmet had won a whole
- 1:09:16plethora of accessories, got the crossbow and everything.
- 1:09:19She's a very nice figure and not cheap.
- 1:09:21No, no. Good figure.
- 1:09:23And for what? She is a female Templar, so
- 1:09:25that's obviously unique and if you want an army of them you'd
- 1:09:32be having a very expensive time. At the moment you don't collect
- 1:09:36the Templars mild, do you? No, I'm not fussed by the
- 1:09:41Templars at all. I'll get like one of them I I
- 1:09:45get the slightly different Templar body shape as well.
- 1:09:48But yeah, you know it. Doesn't bother King.
- 1:09:52Bothered by King Nuglin Legion, Nevada.
- 1:09:56I love this little sound. So as I said, he's the one that
- 1:09:59pretty much turned me on to the goblins, so it's pure evil is
- 1:10:02gold. Look at that crown.
- 1:10:04Wooden crowns. Wooden crown.
- 1:10:06Incredible. Yeah, I love that.
- 1:10:07And he's got a cool bit of soft goods with him as well, and he's
- 1:10:10been dated now with some of the other stuff, but it's still a
- 1:10:11cool set of soft goods. Yeah, because it's a couple of
- 1:10:14layers. It's and a red kind of tattered
- 1:10:19and I nearly split my finger in half trying to get these
- 1:10:22pauldron in though with those on it and a long time ago now, so
- 1:10:30my finger has recovered and do you collect the goblin smile?
- 1:10:37Yeah, I love the goblins. Yeah, I love all the little
- 1:10:39guys. I hate to ask you, have you got
- 1:10:42this guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got a
- 1:10:44few. I've got all the goblins.
- 1:10:47I've got all the goblins. Very good.
- 1:10:48So you got the next one then as well Snag.
- 1:10:51Yes, although I needed a different snag because the nose
- 1:10:53on my snag's not very somewhat. I think whoever I bought it
- 1:10:57offered painted rubbed and they tried to fix it and it just
- 1:11:00looks a bit odd, but I love him all the same, yeah.
- 1:11:05If there's one goblin that's going to have a weird nose,
- 1:11:06though, it's going to be him. Like trapped in a door or window
- 1:11:09frame trying to escape with just looted goods.
- 1:11:13You know, Snag he's. He's searching Archetypal
- 1:11:17goblin. He's new, with that long nose
- 1:11:18and the little hat and everything.
- 1:11:20Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd definitely get one and
- 1:11:22repaint the hat if I got it. You know, if it came out again
- 1:11:26or whatever. I'd definitely get another one.
- 1:11:29Of him or another style of that goblin be very cool.
- 1:11:34I also think that some of the heads are glued together, so for
- 1:11:41example maybe the lower jaw is separate even if it doesn't look
- 1:11:46separate Because I know that people have taken heads out of
- 1:11:49helmets and hats and they've realized actually this is 2
- 1:11:52parts. So I wonder if they could ever
- 1:11:54tool a piece. Like maybe for example, I don't
- 1:11:58know now, but snags lower jaw and maybe make it an open mouth,
- 1:12:02you know? No, maybe.
- 1:12:04Yeah, Give you without much new tooling, you know, you keep
- 1:12:07that. You keep the hat, you keep the
- 1:12:09eyes and the nose and then the lower jaws.
- 1:12:12Just new. So something like that might be
- 1:12:16possible for some figures. I'm not saying which ones now,
- 1:12:19but I know that there's some that are two pieces that you
- 1:12:23wouldn't realize. Lord Aiden, Then from the flock,
- 1:12:28Yeah. A nice figure, Nothing special,
- 1:12:30but a relatively important character as he raised Artemis,
- 1:12:36an older figure. Again, not massively expensive,
- 1:12:39but you don't often see him either.
- 1:12:40For sale. Having said that, so I think
- 1:12:41he'd be popular. The definition of resting bitch
- 1:12:45face. Oh yes, Oh yes.
- 1:12:51You look at him and you don't know if he's miserable or
- 1:12:52whether he's just very angry and will chop your arm off the next
- 1:12:55second. He's got that sort of face.
- 1:12:57And he's an example of the advent of decay.
- 1:13:01The two point O figures, the armor painting and the leather
- 1:13:06and all that is absolutely sensational.
- 1:13:09Really. Next level, Umm, do you have
- 1:13:12this guy? Mal got no interest.
- 1:13:15No interest. A bit too Elfie Elf for me.
- 1:13:17Oh yeah, he's the Elfie Elf. Alf.
- 1:13:20Alf. And this is one that I think
- 1:13:23we've discussed previously could be a version 2 Queen Irksa.
- 1:13:28Yes, I think we talked about maybe almost like a brute scale,
- 1:13:31didn't we as well or certainly a 1.0 scale to be for up a bit?
- 1:13:34Yeah, I I think that's the best thing they can do with her.
- 1:13:38For my my personal opinion, yeah, I think she's great.
- 1:13:41I don't have a I'd like her, but I'd like her to be a bit, you
- 1:13:45know? Yeah.
- 1:13:46Stronger, Let's put it that way. But then they'd have to do the
- 1:13:49head again as well as. So they basically be a whole new
- 1:13:52figure, you know? Yeah, well, maybe we're there.
- 1:13:5610 years of legions. We were there.
- 1:13:58And last but not least, on the chess board is a slightly
- 1:14:04smaller chess board. So see Chess boards 8 by 8
- 1:14:07Calabius. A very underrated figure, I
- 1:14:12think. Calabius.
- 1:14:14I think everyone just associates Clavius with that head and that
- 1:14:18helmet, which is very good, but it's a really lovely painted
- 1:14:21figure. The Golds of Gold is the
- 1:14:23weathered well, You know, it's a skin tone that we don't have
- 1:14:27that much of, so that gives you far more possibilities in terms
- 1:14:29of characters and that sort of thing as well.
- 1:14:33Got all of that Trident? It's a pretty cool weapon.
- 1:14:37Yeah, yeah, I love him. Yeah, I definitely get a bunch
- 1:14:41more. I have two and I definitely get
- 1:14:43another one. If he was to come out and if
- 1:14:47there's a version two, I'd get a load more, but unlikely to be a
- 1:14:52version 2 for him I. Guess no.
- 1:14:53I can't see a version two of him, no, but he's a he's a cool
- 1:14:56figure. He is.
- 1:14:57He is really cool. Uh, all righty.
- 1:15:02That's our list. Umm, then we had this I I put
- 1:15:09this together. Version 2 candidates.
- 1:15:14Uh, we're going to have a version 2.
- 1:15:16So, Hera Serpent Spire. She's right for version two.
- 1:15:22No very important character, yeah.
- 1:15:26Yeah, I think. I think she's such an important
- 1:15:28character as the leader of the convocation that we'd have to
- 1:15:31get a version two. However, the version one is
- 1:15:33incredible. It is, yeah.
- 1:15:37Yeah. But I think they could do more
- 1:15:39soft goods with her without. Yeah.
- 1:15:43And. And maybe they.
- 1:15:44Could do more with the hair as well.
- 1:15:45Can they know? Yeah, true.
- 1:15:48And that is a plug in here piece.
- 1:15:49So they could even do maybe 2-2 different types, something like
- 1:15:53that. And Thord, we have discussed UH
- 1:15:57and then we have Erzak. I think it's clear we're going
- 1:16:01to get a different version of him.
- 1:16:03Yeah, I I think we ha. Sorry, John, you carry on.
- 1:16:07No, but just because he hasn't been, uh, kind of in a vote for
- 1:16:11a long time in an All Stars, So yeah.
- 1:16:16Yeah, that's basically my thinking as well.
- 1:16:17I wouldn't be surprised if they did a if they do an armored
- 1:16:20brutes scale figure, he would be a good fit for that.
- 1:16:24Yeah, just really imposing. And he's going to get the Arthur
- 1:16:28pop out shield and hopefully, uh, Guillon did the repaint that
- 1:16:35I suggested on that this week. I saw him posting.
- 1:16:39He's amazing. Dwarf, kind of Gorgo dwarf,
- 1:16:44whatever kind of minion of Gorgo Dwarf is awesome.
- 1:16:49The fire, uh effect he did on that shield was perfect.
- 1:16:54Don't need to do it myself now and and then obviously, although
- 1:17:00uh, will come out. Yeah, they've said a few times
- 1:17:04something they're going to do a version two of him.
- 1:17:05It's just a case of when we get him.
- 1:17:08I like the idea of versus 2 packs.
- 1:17:13Umm, I suggested this for Legions Khan.
- 1:17:16Uh, obviously we got the the Chris and George.
- 1:17:18But uh, I would have preferred Otho versus Orzoc to back.
- 1:17:25That would be good. Amazing.
- 1:17:26That would be good. That's the way to get them re
- 1:17:29released. Any more version 2 candidates
- 1:17:32that you think of guys, I mean obviously you could have all the
- 1:17:37ones we just talked about. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:17:41But these are the ones that really stood out for me.
- 1:17:46Yeah, I'm in a flocked alarm, but I'm not sure that I'll do a
- 1:17:50flocked figure again. I think Zylona could definitely
- 1:17:53come as a version 2. All they have to do, A bit
- 1:17:57better version of Zylona. Yeah, well, that first one's OK.
- 1:18:00It's not great. Yeah.
- 1:18:02And I guess Malleus, we talked about before, he's he's quite
- 1:18:09playing for, he's. So boring.
- 1:18:12Compared to compared to his brothers and sisters.
- 1:18:16Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:18:18Umm, right. And then we got the rich.
- 1:18:21What were you thinking? Section?
- 1:18:28Umm, So explain a couple of these.
- 1:18:31Let's start up in the corner here with Sir Godfrey.
- 1:18:35Uh, I think I can agree with this.
- 1:18:37It's just a Templar. It's a Templar with the plume.
- 1:18:40Yes, and a couple of dots. More gold depending on what
- 1:18:44version of the Templar you got. Yeah, but that's the thing.
- 1:18:46Once they once they did the big bad toy store and All Star one
- 1:18:49with gold anyway, then basically made this one pointless.
- 1:18:51Yeah, that was a bit of an oopsie though, I think, on their
- 1:18:54part. It was, yeah.
- 1:18:57Yeah, Gonks, I mean. I'm not fan of Gonks.
- 1:19:01I know the arm is really cleverly weathered, but I think
- 1:19:04if you're going to go for goblins you want more of the
- 1:19:06slimmer goblin build and I think the Goblin Deluxe goblin
- 1:19:10builded, from what I've seen, wasn't that people weren't that
- 1:19:13impressed with that. So again, I think the bigger
- 1:19:15Goblin build just doesn't do it for people.
- 1:19:18Deltigar You think he was just because he's a tribute or?
- 1:19:23I think because he's a tribute, I think.
- 1:19:25I think they struggle because of that to to release him again.
- 1:19:28I think he's a one and done. As a Spirit Venter, we talked
- 1:19:32about the Elf Ranger. Because I went to the Shadow Elf
- 1:19:36Ranger. Otherwise the Elf Ranger would
- 1:19:37have been in there. Is a great figure, but I don't
- 1:19:39want two different ranges because they're so similar.
- 1:19:42I'd prefer the Shadow Elf Ranger if that becomes an option.
- 1:19:45You know any of this? So we know you, we know you hate
- 1:19:49Ravenna, so I suppose to be expected.
- 1:19:53The worst figure in the line. I don't think so, and I I think
- 1:19:58she should be really released somehow.
- 1:19:59She's a great figure, but. Oh, I did enjoy getting that
- 1:20:02selfie with the lady dressed as Ravenna.
- 1:20:05Yeah, Allegiance gone. She had a very good cosplay.
- 1:20:07Outfield. Yeah, she was awesome.
- 1:20:10Then Taylor and Frost Bow, What have you got against the ladies?
- 1:20:16She, I don't know what it is with her.
- 1:20:19She just no, we had There's enough two point zeros in that
- 1:20:24that wave anyway, a little better than silo in the
- 1:20:26characters. OK, Grisha, did we talk a little
- 1:20:32bit about? It yeah.
- 1:20:33Grisha never gets picked. You can put Grisha.
- 1:20:36Grisha, the one that gets like 4th and 5th.
- 1:20:39I suppose only the horseman will know.
- 1:20:40Possibly. I mean, I love Grisha.
- 1:20:41I think Grisha is an amazing, I mean, you know, the helmet, the
- 1:20:44the, the leather, all my colors and everything.
- 1:20:47It's an incredible figure, but it just never gets picked.
- 1:20:49So point pointless shoving in again.
- 1:20:51And then the rest of these here. So Argamedes, Thump, Torgan,
- 1:20:57Twig, Cassia and Kurzog. I think it's just because you
- 1:21:01only considered up to Soul Spiller basically.
- 1:21:04Yes. I mean, I wouldn't pick Cassie
- 1:21:06because I hate that figure. I think it's a terrible.
- 1:21:10Figure like I really like. Yeah, I have.
- 1:21:13I have a slight issue with the titty barbarian look, and that's
- 1:21:16that's unnecessarily titty barbarian in my opinion.
- 1:21:20About Juno Judo's as Titty Barbarian, there's an.
- 1:21:23Exception to every rule model and she's got blue face paint,
- 1:21:26shaved side of the head and everything that goes but.
- 1:21:29She's more of a titty Viking, no?
- 1:21:31Yeah. It's an important distinction
- 1:21:36there. Thick was very, very close.
- 1:21:40If I'd needed another gobbly and I'd have gone for quick, I
- 1:21:43think. And again.
- 1:21:44Between quick and pump, you're definitely quick.
- 1:21:48Is the better figure for me, Yeah.
- 1:21:50Definitely. And Argamedes.
- 1:21:52I just don't think we need the blue ogre again.
- 1:21:56Curzog, I would have thought they have the big curzog for,
- 1:22:00you know, the for legions gone, that big life-size Curzog.
- 1:22:03So I could see him coming back at some point.
- 1:22:07Because quite possibly, yeah. Anyway, right.
- 1:22:12And then lastly here we have just the Arthur wave.
- 1:22:16So these are the rare one or not the rare ones, I mean obviously
- 1:22:19Arthur and Nathan you could say, but let's disregard them.
- 1:22:23But these are figures from the Arthur Wave that could they're
- 1:22:27getting up on, you know, needing to be reconsidered again for re
- 1:22:32release or update or. Yeah, they were just a bit a bit
- 1:22:37too new for my thinking. But at the same time some of
- 1:22:40these are very desirable and Magnus still goes for a pretty
- 1:22:42decent price. Yeah, Red Shield Soldier still
- 1:22:45does. Bell forgot always seems
- 1:22:47popular. Hydriana is one of the best
- 1:22:48female figures in the line, so there's there's some really good
- 1:22:50figures in this. I don't think you could improve
- 1:22:53on these in terms of version 2, so I think to say just a
- 1:22:57straight release. Yeah.
- 1:22:58Of those, again would be perfect.
- 1:23:01Unless you had a topless, topless Magnus doing some sort
- 1:23:04of bodybuilding competition, I think you'd struggle to improve
- 1:23:07on that one. Let's leave that one for the
- 1:23:09customizers, right? So that's a kind of run through,
- 1:23:15I suppose more of what figures are kind of due to be revisited,
- 1:23:21possibly in this year of uh, the 10th anniversary of Mythic
- 1:23:25legions and. It's it's a what could have been
- 1:23:29Wave, isn't it? After, after the, uh, the
- 1:23:31Hashtag Gate. But I hope you still enjoyed the
- 1:23:34run through and we can all dream and we'll see what this brings.
- 1:23:39But Mal, I believe you've been looking through the group and
- 1:23:44the different posts and you've maybe seen some some other ideas
- 1:23:48that might be out there for what what this could be.
- 1:23:51Yeah, Not going to make any judgment of the ideas.
- 1:23:54So I think in no particular order, Jason Gay Tanis thought
- 1:24:09he said it could be, well, he didn't use these words.
- 1:24:13I've paraphrased, yeah, we've paraphrased, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:24:18that's one. Yeah.
- 1:24:18We're not basically a massive in stock sale.
- 1:24:24I don't think they could manage that.
- 1:24:25That would be a lot of figures. They'd have to be running
- 1:24:27through the fact. Yeah, I think more, I could
- 1:24:30think more like Exodus, if if anyone remembers the Exodus sale
- 1:24:35is just basically stuff they found at the back of the
- 1:24:37warehouse. Yeah, but it was literally one
- 1:24:41or two or three of some older figures.
- 1:24:43So it was a blood batch. To be fair, might explain why
- 1:24:46there's only one armies of Leodiceus, a single figure they
- 1:24:50found at the back of the Warehouse.
- 1:24:54They can't be letting people crash their server for one or
- 1:24:58two of those. They wouldn't go to this effort
- 1:25:01for that, Justin Anderson said. What about reissue?
- 1:25:08Yeah, he said. What about a reissue?
- 1:25:11Well, he pointed out that the original Kickstarter was 34
- 1:25:15figures. Yeah.
- 1:25:17Can't remember if he then specified what he thought the
- 1:25:19other two would be, but he said, what if it's a reissue of the
- 1:25:22original 36 figures? I think that's more likely, but.
- 1:25:30The the factions match up. Unless the factions complete Red
- 1:25:33herring, that's that's not exactly.
- 1:25:35Well and then some of them are definitely going to be but but
- 1:25:38we've had version twos of some which but and again it's kind of
- 1:25:44what you've just done there is a similar.
- 1:25:46Could be, yeah. It could be a re release of all
- 1:25:51the ones that haven't been released before, which are up to
- 1:25:54a certain point you know. Which might make it kind of what
- 1:25:57Rich went through there, isn't it?
- 1:25:59Yeah, yeah, true. Patrick Boyle when I mean
- 1:26:04Patrick Boyle's made a couple of suggestions but his main well,
- 1:26:07one of his main ones was something to do with the book or
- 1:26:12or I think he also suggested Oh no, no, take that back.
- 1:26:17That's Kevin. Aaron Greenbaum suggested it and
- 1:26:22I quite like this idea. I'm not sure how the the
- 1:26:25checkerboard fits this, but perhaps it's a graphic novel?
- 1:26:30Nice. I suppose it could be.
- 1:26:32The characters in the story, which I did see someone suggest,
- 1:26:36which I think is part of what Patrick's suggestion was what?
- 1:26:39Yeah, in fact, I mean, that would be cool, but I don't
- 1:26:42that's quite the tenuous link to like a checkerboard pattern and
- 1:26:45that sort of thing. Well, it might be doesn't, you
- 1:26:47know, for a toy line to kind of throw two or three weeks worth
- 1:26:51of teasers and then it's like a book or a comic might be a
- 1:26:54little bit like what, you know, especially for people getting
- 1:26:58hyped up and excited about, uh, getting maybe some older figures
- 1:27:03or some cool new figures, obviously.
- 1:27:08I think quite a popular idea, which one Kevin Boots, Kevin M
- 1:27:13Boots came up with, which was perhaps it's relate.
- 1:27:16We saw we were showing that picture of them.
- 1:27:21Excuse me, a few of the guys from the studio playing what
- 1:27:24looked like Dungeons and Dragons or some sort of tabletop game
- 1:27:30could it? And we know that there were
- 1:27:32minis started to be produced for for legions.
- 1:27:36So could these, Could it be, Could this finally be it?
- 1:27:40Could we be getting the the tabletop game, the minis?
- 1:27:43Which again, that feels quite possible, doesn't it?
- 1:27:45That feels like that. That would fit if you're looking
- 1:27:48at. If you're looking at 36
- 1:27:49characters, obviously the price of a Mini compared to the price
- 1:27:52of full figure, you know it's much, much more palatable, isn't
- 1:27:56it? Yeah, again, it just comes back.
- 1:27:59Why is there only one armies of the Odysseus?
- 1:28:01That's the big thing I keep, yeah.
- 1:28:03For me, I was trying, I was trying to find a picture earlier
- 1:28:07of of the Minis. I remember Kurzog was one of
- 1:28:09them. But I couldn't find a picture of
- 1:28:11the rest. I think they showed like five or
- 1:28:12six different ones painted up. Yeah, they they had a troll in
- 1:28:16there. I remember Troll they.
- 1:28:17Had a troll as well. Did that, OK.
- 1:28:18Yeah. And and Will White sort of said
- 1:28:21he'd sort of, yeah, wondered about take some kind of tabletop
- 1:28:24rule book, which is fixed with the Dungeons and Dragons thing.
- 1:28:30Oh yeah, just going back to Patrick Boyle, he'd sort of put
- 1:28:33post stuff about highlighting sort of.
- 1:28:34He was trying to think of the different mysteries.
- 1:28:39I can't remember the different mysteries he mentioned, but the
- 1:28:41one that came to mind for me again, because it's got that one
- 1:28:45member of the army of Leo Dyceus, is something to do with
- 1:28:49Tiller and his hammer going missing?
- 1:28:51If it's something to do with mysteries, could that be
- 1:28:55combined with the game? It'd be like a detective
- 1:28:59detective drama with interviewing all these different
- 1:29:03people from different things. Did you steal my hammer?
- 1:29:05Did you steal my hammer? Where were you when it went
- 1:29:07missing? Perhaps it's like Cluedo, no?
- 1:29:10Yeah, not Cluedo, because that's murder mystery, but something
- 1:29:12like, I suppose, something like that.
- 1:29:13With a hammer. Various people.
- 1:29:17Oh oh right, yeah, so sorry, I said Justin Anderson earlier.
- 1:29:21He must have been the first person I'd seen do.
- 1:29:23But there were a few other people who who mentioned about
- 1:29:27something to do with the reissue of the kick for original
- 1:29:30Kickstarter wave chap called Daniel Bay.
- 1:29:35Joe Bad. Joe suggested it was another
- 1:29:37book. So book something to do with the
- 1:29:39book is a popular one. I find one.
- 1:29:42I saw that, sort of. I quite like this one, although
- 1:29:46I don't think it will be Randy Christian, a mythic Legions
- 1:29:50quilt. That'd be amazing.
- 1:29:54Yeah, yeah, I really. Like that one, I'm not.
- 1:29:56Yeah. So they would buy that in a
- 1:29:57heartbeat. Totally, yeah.
- 1:29:59Just hang it on your walls or something, wouldn't you?
- 1:30:03But yeah, so they were the main ideas I saw that, you know that
- 1:30:08sort of mentioned maybe a couple of times or prominently from
- 1:30:12other people. But if we got any, I've got an
- 1:30:16idea of you guys got any thoughts If it's not All Stars
- 1:30:19what it might be I. Have some other fun ones that
- 1:30:21came, Len LaGuardia said. This is how many factions must
- 1:30:25make sacrifice to give rise to a dragon.
- 1:30:30Maybe it's fun. Maybe it's actually just true.
- 1:30:34In that case, I had more Noble Backyard is in Quick Maverick, I
- 1:30:38think, and let it go. Sorry.
- 1:30:40Maverick thinks there's something to do with the Brady
- 1:30:42Bunch. Lots of people are saying it's
- 1:30:47going to rock their wallet. So I think that's We even got
- 1:30:52into some conversations about sobbing wallets.
- 1:30:54I wonder where that came from And.
- 1:31:00T-shirts still available, folks. T-shirts still available.
- 1:31:03It is, it is. There'll probably be some more
- 1:31:06at Legions Con this year. And then I also saw one board
- 1:31:09game maybe, but I think a tabletop game would be more,
- 1:31:13right guys hit hit us up for what you think eventually this
- 1:31:18could be rich. My first one is a slightly crazy
- 1:31:23one and it was a 36 head pack. Oh, so I mean you can have lots
- 1:31:30of repainted heads. I'm not suggesting 36 new
- 1:31:32sculpt, but with a fair few new sculpts chucked in there as
- 1:31:35well. And they've aimed at the
- 1:31:36particular factions. So hence, you know, you've got
- 1:31:39the factions labeled, that sort of thing.
- 1:31:41So there might be a demon head where you can use that with
- 1:31:43Arafin normally and that sort of stuff.
- 1:31:45I mean, I think it'd probably be too Demon Wang wise, but that's
- 1:31:52the Late night show edition John though.
- 1:31:54The 36 Wang pack, yeah. Very good Peep that was too, I
- 1:32:03wonder. Half a bit too late now, so.
- 1:32:04You want to just transcribe this right, Antonaz?
- 1:32:11I have but let Mal go next e-mail.
- 1:32:13You said a couple, didn't you? I've.
- 1:32:15I've only really got one idea and I was like, what if?
- 1:32:19Single track mind. Yeah, what if the squares aren't
- 1:32:24characters, but the chances of getting a character in that
- 1:32:28faction? So your chance of getting
- 1:32:33someone from Legions of Arathea, not Legions of Arathea, Armies
- 1:32:36of Laodiceus is one in 36 and so on.
- 1:32:41And I don't know how they utilize that, but in some May
- 1:32:45Mysteries of Mythos made me think of maybe some sort of
- 1:32:48mystery box. OK, whether that's actual
- 1:32:52figures or minis, Again, we go back to the minis, maybe mini
- 1:32:57mystery boxes because they're very popular at the moment.
- 1:33:01Something like that maybe? Yeah, mystery boxes.
- 1:33:05Could be, could be fun. Could be a whole new thing for
- 1:33:09them though. So yeah, I'm not so sure about
- 1:33:14that. But but again, it's a yeah, it's
- 1:33:17a possibility. Rich, I had.
- 1:33:20To go quiet there because my family came in and put the
- 1:33:23microwave on, which is always helpful when you're in the
- 1:33:25middle. So you've got the, you've got
- 1:33:28the, the, the gerbils. The gerbils, yeah.
- 1:33:32And the microwave and. The microwave going, Yeah, I
- 1:33:35see. A solution to the to the water
- 1:33:37drinking problem. So no, no.
- 1:33:42Animals were hurt during this. No wholehearted disagree Putting
- 1:33:46animals in the microwave? Absolutely.
- 1:33:48Me too. There's only only looking for.
- 1:33:50Cheap labs. I mean, I shouldn't have to say
- 1:33:51that out loud, but just to clarify, hold.
- 1:33:53On no, no, no. See, this is the problem with
- 1:33:55the world. We have to explain everything in
- 1:33:56case somebody gets offended, and still somebody will get
- 1:33:59offended. So anyway.
- 1:34:01So yes, animals, no. So my fault and I had this just
- 1:34:05before the podcast, which is why I was like 3 or 4 minutes late
- 1:34:08dialing in because I was still writing down the characters.
- 1:34:10You could do that while. Looking at us, it's difficult.
- 1:34:14You two are so attractive, but I don't.
- 1:34:15I can't concentrate on two things at once.
- 1:34:17So it's like, you know, mystery prizes, mystery prizes.
- 1:34:26So there'd be a a different mythic legions figure behind
- 1:34:31each panel, OK And you know, you can pay to entry if they want to
- 1:34:35give the money to charity. Or they just do it as a giveaway
- 1:34:37sort of thing, pay shipping or whatever it is.
- 1:34:41And they've got loads of really rare figures.
- 1:34:43So the one Army Ludicus would be an Otho inbox Otho that they've
- 1:34:46got. You could have the Saval Guard
- 1:34:50as one of the Beethoron characters, that sort of stuff.
- 1:34:53And they've literally got one each of these that they've dug
- 1:34:55out of their own collections, whatever sort of thing.
- 1:34:57And to celebrate 10 years, they're going to start giving
- 1:34:58them away. To raise money for charity,
- 1:35:03Could you? Raise money for charity or just
- 1:35:04get people to just to pay the shipping costs or whatever the
- 1:35:07original price was or something like that.
- 1:35:11I mean you can, you know, in an ideal world you could like
- 1:35:13really go, you know, it could be an Herzog and Urku like a snag
- 1:35:20available, a gold skeleton for congregation and ether on maybe
- 1:35:25to go with a Saval Guard for Ether on Joran.
- 1:35:30You could have a side loner for the fly.
- 1:35:31You know, all these like a Ford helmet all of even a Regal all
- 1:35:36really sort of you're not going to get them again or not in the
- 1:35:40same format or it can cost you hundreds of dollars.
- 1:35:42So that's what I was thinking, maybe because it's just because
- 1:35:45it's that checker pattern. And again, there's only the one
- 1:35:47army of Laodiceus and you know, we've had all those figures
- 1:35:50relative recently or or redone, with the exception of Otho.
- 1:35:54Very good and Nels. No, that was it for me.
- 1:35:58Very good. I haven't a clue.
- 1:36:02I did the presentation. There you go.
- 1:36:04That's my prep. Very good.
- 1:36:07Well, next week all will be revealed.
- 1:36:09So you anything else for this week, boys?
- 1:36:13That's it for me, yeah. No thing, I say for me other
- 1:36:16than I'm getting a I'm getting a slow drip feed of of GI Joe
- 1:36:20classifieds committee. Oh yeah.
- 1:36:23So maybe this Saturday look out for socials.
- 1:36:26Maybe we'll have a live stream. We're about to discuss it now.
- 1:36:29Yep. All right, take it easy.
- 1:36:33Stay safe, everyone. Don't stress about what the
- 1:36:35things behind the boxes could be too much.
- 1:36:38We'll be back next week with the answer.
- 1:36:41Or maybe not.
