- 0:13Now let's get to this week's show.
- 0:23My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
- 0:25I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
- 0:35It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
- 0:38fake hammer. Oh.
- 0:40A fake Whoa. As I say, Dick.
- 0:51Welcome to episode 81 of the Urine Agents podcasts.
- 0:56Nine is sqrt 81. That's what I got this week and
- 0:59in nine weeks time we'll be publishing our last episode
- 1:02before we get on the plane to New Jersey the following week.
- 1:07Whoop, whoop and yeah. So there we go.
- 1:11We're getting there. He all excited.
- 1:14Nine weeks to go. It's in the single figures.
- 1:16Well, it's 10 weeks really. But you know, nine weeks till
- 1:19our last episode. Yeah, very, very.
- 1:22Yeah, I'm, I'm veering wildly from really excited to to really
- 1:26scared. I'll forget to take something.
- 1:28You know me, I've got several spreadsheets with this, that and
- 1:30the other. What do I take?
- 1:32What am I going to sell? What do I want to buy at?
- 1:35Least you'll bring the spreadsheet.
- 1:37Yeah, yeah. Exactly how quickly is it to
- 1:40take it to turn around AT shirt? I want to get you want to get a
- 1:42couple of T-shirt designs done for myself.
- 1:45Oh, see you love those crazy like the crazy, Sir Richard one
- 1:49you had last year. Yes.
- 1:50I'm not sure I'll ever top that because that was vanity taking
- 1:52the next level, but we'll see. True.
- 1:57And we actually still have that episode pretty much planned or
- 2:00at least we have our guest lined up and things ready for that
- 2:05one. So that's an easy one.
- 2:07And the these are the ones it's been a quiet week for legions,
- 2:12but we're going to talk a little bit about figures that you could
- 2:14possibly make from mythic legions or cosmic legions or
- 2:17whatever legions you want, even figure obscure parts.
- 2:22But I guess a lot of those are from the the legions lines.
- 2:27And so that's what we're going to do.
- 2:29But first we're going to look at a few different things that we
- 2:33have. But Rich, tell us about this
- 2:37crazy cat house coincidence that you were telling us about this
- 2:42week and the fact that you're getting cats, even though I've
- 2:45heard you say in this podcast previously that you don't like
- 2:49cats. So.
- 2:50Yes, I've called them evil and all sorts of stuff before now,
- 2:52but apparently my wife and daughter outrule me.
- 2:56So we're getting cats. My daughter's onto them for
- 3:01ages. My wife grow cats as she's gone.
- 3:03You know what, yes, I do as well.
- 3:05So obviously being the alpha man of the house, I caved straight
- 3:08away and we're getting cats yes, we thought we'd adopt, adopt A
- 3:12cat initially, you know, rather than a kitten let's, you know,
- 3:15rehome one that's, you know, no longer wanted sort of thing.
- 3:20So we saw these these two lovely cats, brother and sister pair,
- 3:23four years old on adoption website.
- 3:25So we put an application in for those, they accepted the
- 3:30applications. We went to see the cats.
- 3:31The cats are in a foster home at the moment.
- 3:33So we went to the foster home to see the cats at the weekend just
- 3:37gone. Really lovely cats, Brilliant.
- 3:39We'll take them. So you know, we're now getting
- 3:42the hat house ready for cats. So a couple of days later we had
- 3:46a bank holiday here in the UK on Monday.
- 3:48So we went up to see my, my brother, brother and
- 3:50sister-in-law, my nephews for the day.
- 3:53And they're moving house soon. So they live in a town about 40
- 3:55minutes away from we are, we're in Bristol, big city of Bristol.
- 3:58They're in a little town called Stroud, about 40 minutes away.
- 4:03I say little, it's about 60,000 people, but you know, so we go
- 4:07to see them, we chat about the house, they've got a new house,
- 4:10they're really excited. It's like like a minute's walk
- 4:12away from there on where they are now.
- 4:14We're bigger so that it's great. You know, we're looking for
- 4:16ages, the house come on the market, all this sort of stuff.
- 4:18Brilliant. So we go through that and then
- 4:19we go, oh, by the way, we're getting a couple of cats.
- 4:23We've decided to adopt again a couple of cats.
- 4:25Here's a picture of the cats. So show them the picture.
- 4:28And we're like, yeah, yeah, you know, they've got a couple of
- 4:31dietary issues, but I think serious.
- 4:33And then my sister-in-law goes, she's like, it can't be said,
- 4:36but those look exactly like the two cats from the house that
- 4:39we're buying. And the people are splitting up.
- 4:42So they had to get rid of the cats.
- 4:44And they said they really struggled to to get them into a
- 4:47foster place. So they had to go along a lot
- 4:49further away and they had dietary requirements and we're
- 4:52like, OK, so I can't be, it's 40 minutes away.
- 4:55It's, it's too weird a coincidence now.
- 4:58So then they messaged the, the, the, the guy from the house,
- 5:00they're, they're, they're buying sort of thing.
- 5:02And he confirmed that, yes, in fact, that is the same cats that
- 5:07they couldn't keep. So through that, people having a
- 5:10very messy divorce or messy split up.
- 5:13My brother and sister-in-law have now got a new house or
- 5:15we'll have in a couple of weeks, which is amazing.
- 5:17And we've got pets. Wow.
- 5:20But the chances is just insane. We were all sat there.
- 5:24Four adults were sat in the house on Monday.
- 5:25Just like, yeah, open my jaws on the floor.
- 5:28So then going, no, I can't be right.
- 5:29No, it's no, it's just too much of A coincidence.
- 5:31Yeah, I I told Cindy when, you know, after your text and she
- 5:35nearly fell off the chair. We're sitting in the garden and
- 5:38she's like, what? What?
- 5:40No, no. Yeah, it was bonkers.
- 5:43My sister was going well, you do realize that means that we've
- 5:45met and stroked your cats before.
- 5:46You did. And it's like, yes, I get that.
- 5:48They were just weird. When they did the first viewing
- 5:51the cats were still there and then when the 2nd viewing the
- 5:54cats had gone. So they've met the cats before
- 5:56we did. It's really weird.
- 5:59That's crazy. But yes, one couple's horrible
- 6:02misfortune is a bonus. Like brother and sister-in-law.
- 6:05I'm Ferris. If you think life's full of
- 6:08coincidences, there's another two.
- 6:10Yeah, I'd say. Yeah.
- 6:11Absolutely crazy, so you can even bring the cats back to
- 6:14their old home for a visit. I think we're probably going to
- 6:19avoid doing that, but yeah. Yeah, I do. 14 minutes. 14
- 6:22minutes with two cats in the cat boxes wouldn't be that much.
- 6:25Fun. No.
- 6:26No. But in theory we could.
- 6:27Yes. All the all my brother will turn
- 6:29up and the cats be like, why do you recognize your smell?
- 6:32It's like our old house. Yeah, exactly.
- 6:37Or you can FaceTime them at the old house, just just the cats
- 6:40can be watching the FaceTime. But no, it was a weird
- 6:44coincidence, but we're very excited as a family to be
- 6:47getting the two cats. So yeah, they were picking up on
- 6:49Sunday. It's Wednesday now as we're
- 6:52recording this, so not too long to go.
- 6:54Cool. So next week's episode, Rich's
- 6:56cats will be climbing around the background, making all sorts.
- 6:59Of noise scratching me and just showing what I would resistant
- 7:01to cats. Because they're cats and not
- 7:03gerbils. I'll be fine with it, just have
- 7:06to live with that. Listeners.
- 7:07Oh God, I. Was going to go in the different
- 7:09room wasn't I tonight because he made so much noise last week.
- 7:11Sorry. We have to roll the dice again.
- 7:13We have to roll the dice again. But I didn't get any complaints.
- 7:16But, you know, the only one that would become land is me, So
- 7:20let's be honest. In fairness, there's a decent.
- 7:22Chance with two cats coming in the house, the he'll die of a
- 7:25heart attack before too long. The dress the two cats.
- 7:28So that'll solve the problem for you.
- 7:30Oh, if cats fit, you've been wishing in bed for a while now.
- 7:33As, as as an owner of four cats, that would be very
- 7:37serendipitous, you know, for the cat, your cats to solve my
- 7:41problem. Yeah.
- 7:43But we wish no ill will on Waffles.
- 7:46And we hope that he doesn't have a heart attack.
- 7:50He just stays quiet for one to two hours every week.
- 7:54It's not it's not a big ask. And now brutal, brutal realm,
- 8:01the Kickstarter, you're very excited about.
- 8:03Bunch of Barbarians. Rich can log off now when we
- 8:06talk about. Yeah.
- 8:08And that that suddenly went from kind of, you know, maybe, you
- 8:14know, in the, in the 50% range on the Kickstarter or whatever.
- 8:18I think they added in their big bad eh orders into the
- 8:21Kickstarter or yes or something like.
- 8:23That I think it must have been a combination of things.
- 8:26I think a combination of the adding the big bad orders and
- 8:33umm, boog a CBA and it seemed to take off after that.
- 8:36So maybe that expose them to a few more people.
- 8:41Umm, well, but yeah. And then I think it's that
- 8:44situation of, you know, as more as unlocked, more people have
- 8:47gone. Oh, I'm interested now.
- 8:49Yeah. And of course, people putting
- 8:52money into the new pledges, the new YEAH levels.
- 8:58Yeah. So I think as it'll be finished
- 9:00by the time this episode goes out, but I think as we talk,
- 9:03there's a day left or so 32 hours ago it says yeah, and
- 9:09there's $330,000, which means everything is unlocked.
- 9:13Yeah, everything is now well and truly in luck.
- 9:17General Grill Grim Skull has piqued my interest I'd say.
- 9:22Well, there's some pictures of him mock, you know, they've
- 9:26obviously printed off the resin copy of him and put him together
- 9:30on Instagram if you want to look at that.
- 9:33Oh nice. Tempt you any further?
- 9:36Yeah, maybe a big bad order would be better though, just for
- 9:41cash flow reasons. But he also has these cool and
- 9:46they're almost like army builder characters.
- 9:49Yeah, the shadar. Shadar, there you go.
- 9:53They look like little robot skeletors or something.
- 9:58And they also unlock the Lionel or are kind of nod to Lionel.
- 10:03What's he called in there? I don't think they've given him
- 10:06a name, I think he's just like Savage Ruler or something like
- 10:09that, isn't it? OK, I got it here.
- 10:11Sorry. So it's Lion Lord.
- 10:15There you go. Oh Lion Lord.
- 10:17Yeah, and he also had they have a bunch of they have like a
- 10:21werewolf and a Panther and a monkey primal that are all
- 10:28there. They wouldn't tempt rich.
- 10:31No, the monkey, the the werewolf.
- 10:37I'm not convinced, I'll be honest.
- 10:38No, I'll have another look now you've mentioned those, but.
- 10:41Yeah, they're at the very bottom of the campaign.
- 10:43So you can, you can. Well, and they're going to be at
- 10:46Legions Con, so you can get a closer look.
- 10:49I suspect they'll probably try and have maybe all the different
- 10:53physical figures there, won't they say that'll be that'll be
- 10:55exciting. Yeah, exactly.
- 10:57Well, I think, yeah, I think Rich this is something you could
- 10:59maybe wait and pick up if they do come out looking good and you
- 11:03fancy one rather than you don't need to guarantee your place.
- 11:08So Mal, how's your how's your order looking?
- 11:10I went with the 1st 12 pledge and added the and that included,
- 11:19oh, and then what is it first 12 versus Grimm School or something
- 11:23like that. And you get, you get all the
- 11:26like up to Grimm School Inc and Grimm School and Athena.
- 11:33And then I've added to that the accessories, the owl pack and
- 11:41the lion Lord and then on on Big Bad because to try and keep my
- 11:48immediate outgoings down a bit on Big Bad of pledged for of
- 11:54pre-ordered. I forgot what his name.
- 11:58Killian the red. Oh yeah, he looked good.
- 12:01Excuse. Me.
- 12:04Yeah, Mal is Mal has got a dose of COVID this week, so so if you
- 12:08if you notice he's sounding a little bit more Barry White than
- 12:12usual than usual. Umm.
- 12:14Yeah, Killian, the red and the three blanks for the the beast
- 12:20men thing. Oh, cool, yeah.
- 12:22Yeah, that's. Nice, well well done to those
- 12:26guys and looking forward to seeing them at Legions Can and
- 12:30watching Mal take a close look at the figures.
- 12:35That'll be fun, Rich. Absolutely, yes.
- 12:39I just hope I don't like him too much because you know.
- 12:42Yeah, you don't need to spend enough and.
- 12:44Cosmics or anything without cleaning another line, I'm just
- 12:46a quick look at the werewolves in there, the monkeys and
- 12:50everything else and, you know, yeah, and.
- 12:52Especially as they're kind of barbarian based, you don't
- 12:57really want to be caught up in that barbarian stuff.
- 13:01That's why I've been ignoring the main I don't care what the
- 13:03figures look like, they're Barbarians is like whatever.
- 13:06I've seen the usual people sort of say, oh, it'll go with this
- 13:09and go with that and go with the other, but they're about 6.75
- 13:14inches, I think they're described as.
- 13:16So to me they're like, well, not really, but they're their own
- 13:19thing and they're very cool in themselves, so.
- 13:22Yeah. I mean size wise.
- 13:23I mean if they're mentally big beefy Barbarians that might go
- 13:26with mythics because they'll just be little bits.
- 13:27All of mythics? Aren't they Mythics?
- 13:29About 6 1/2 the most of them. How are they?
- 13:32Oh, I thought they're about seven.
- 13:33OK. Yeah, yeah.
- 13:35Yeah, I think it really well, Yeah, I think you'd nice to see
- 13:39them side by side and then you can really tell I think right.
- 13:44And then we also had some people that I'd sent the heads out to
- 13:49post some pictures. So these are our heads for
- 13:54Legions Con, but I did send a couple of both of the heads to
- 14:00some people in the community that I thought would be cool if
- 14:06they painted them and give us a little bit of marketing and
- 14:10stuff like that. So the first we had here was
- 14:12Blaze Bear. So he did the classic approach
- 14:15on the leprechaun and a very cool version of the cosmic head.
- 14:21So these are very cool boys and like everything Blaze does.
- 14:28Yeah, and he did. He'd showed the blue one sort of
- 14:30thing, not it was just before or just after Jeremy and Joe did
- 14:34that cosmic swap stuff. Something like, oh, Thor, not
- 14:39body that would like. I rather not thought all I got
- 14:44blue body. Yeah, all color scheme would go
- 14:47really well with it and look like a balance alien hunter.
- 14:50Sure does. Yeah.
- 14:53And if you're ever unsure about what to put a cosmic head on,
- 14:55you just stick it on a Sentry. Or are one of the the Tusk
- 14:59bodies that's going to go? Yeah.
- 15:04Or Kai Patcher, according to Jeremy's post today.
- 15:07Yeah. Everything, everything goes
- 15:09patcher. He's trying to make Kai patcher
- 15:11the yeah, the new the new century, Roddy.
- 15:14It is so good end of the. Morning.
- 15:16Yeah. Well, I think I think the new
- 15:18century body will be is it the shadow circle that coming in
- 15:22October, Fisher Rice and his crew, they.
- 15:26Oh yeah, very. Yeah, yeah, especially as it's a
- 15:30dark color scheme, so any head that has a bit of color and it
- 15:34is going to kind of pop. Exactly.
- 15:37Yep. Oh wow.
- 15:38So that's Blaze. Very good.
- 15:42Very happy that he did them and post them.
- 15:45Then Curtis went to completely crazy.
- 15:48He's he's pumping out customs like a madman at the moment.
- 15:52I don't know if he's just if he saved up a lot of customs for
- 15:57for posting, but I don't think so because he didn't get these
- 16:00heads that long ago and he has two amazing customs.
- 16:04The cosmic only posted first. It's like a parademon attribute,
- 16:09is it? That's from DC, isn't it?
- 16:11Yeah, I think I remember them in the Kingdom Come comic at least,
- 16:16and I'm sure they're in a whole lot of others.
- 16:20Yeah. And he did an incredible thing
- 16:21here with the Shields as wings and he's.
- 16:26So. Inventive he's gone next level
- 16:28with the with the kind of using the bit of sculpting, you know,
- 16:32potty or whatever and using legions parts to to make these
- 16:38unique customs, which is with just a head sculpt being the
- 16:42difference. It's a truly fabulous custom,
- 16:45that one. That one's been saved into my
- 16:46end of year awards. Full custom.
- 16:49Good shaft, yeah. Oh man, I keep forgetting to do
- 16:53that. I'm going to be scrambling.
- 16:55I've been doing all the years so far.
- 16:57Well, Rich is going to have he's yeah, Rich and Mal are going to
- 17:00do it properly. I'm just going to try and
- 17:02present. Me.
- 17:03The amount of the top 20 full customs?
- 17:05Yeah, the year. And I'll do you know what I
- 17:09might run around and I say this, but I want to might run around
- 17:12allegiance can and take a few pictures.
- 17:14And and he did, of course, an awesome dirigar with the
- 17:19leprechaun, kind of a fighting dirigar to do with the fighting
- 17:23Irish thing thing. I suppose that you would see.
- 17:26So really awesome as well. Use the Tarnog, I think wrist
- 17:31traps on on on this figure to give him the kind of slightly
- 17:36bigger arms. And yeah, just awesome.
- 17:40Very nice clean there and skirt and all that.
- 17:43Absolutely love this. It's like a proper, just like,
- 17:45you know, you, just you. You can see he's just a trouble.
- 17:48There's just no other word for me.
- 17:49Just trouble. It's just like, come on, come
- 17:51on. Exactly so go to obviously go to
- 17:54blazes Instagram. You see it there bare dot blaze
- 17:57on Instagram and this is art, but art under score by under
- 18:03score Ackerman on Instagram as well.
- 18:07So go and check them out. And we also have Doctor Grimlock
- 18:13is King on Instagram. That's Eugene Eunuch and he's
- 18:17posted the cosmic head scope. He's done so far and he says
- 18:20he's doing a full custom, but he was so excited about just doing
- 18:24the head already that he wanted to post it.
- 18:27So this is he posted a number of angles on the Instagram.
- 18:30So go over there. But this is a really cool used a
- 18:34lot of kind of shimmering paints on it to give that kind of an
- 18:37effect. It looks really good and if you
- 18:40kind of look up close you really see a lot of the detail so.
- 18:44Yeah, there's different colour eyes.
- 18:46Have me intrigued. Something about a figure with
- 18:48two different colour eyes or different lenses.
- 18:50Or it's like, oh, hello. Very good and the teeth on this
- 18:54sculpt Mal are pretty crazy they look fun to paint and they also
- 19:00really give it a kind of creepy look yes it's great I'm so.
- 19:05Pleased with how it's come out. Yes, I did.
- 19:08It's fantastic. Yeah, so.
- 19:11And it's fair to say it's a hit with people, you know.
- 19:13Yeah, all three of those, both painted pieces put up people are
- 19:15just good. Just to say I have had some, I
- 19:18have had some very awesome people contact me and to ask if
- 19:23they could get it or you know, early and you know, maybe
- 19:25Anthony's going to be as Anthony's printed them or
- 19:28printing them is going to be a retro con.
- 19:31Could he maybe. And I said, look, really sorry,
- 19:33we sent out a few as promotional.
- 19:35And I mean, we could have picked loads of people to do the
- 19:38promotional stuff. We tried to pick a few people
- 19:41from the Patreon, obviously, and that are would paint them as
- 19:44well. And there are some painters and
- 19:46a few other painters that we just wanted to.
- 19:49So there will be a couple of other people that might post
- 19:52them in the next while. And they're all people from that
- 19:54group. And I've had to say no to
- 19:56people. And yeah, it's it's crap saying
- 19:59no because of course I'm really excited.
- 20:02They want to have them, but. I guess we're in the same boat
- 20:06with stuff that we want to pick up at Legends Can we'll be
- 20:09there, you know, we. Should probably tell.
- 20:10Yeah, we should probably tell people.
- 20:11Rich and I don't have any of these sculpts.
- 20:14John you don't have a cosmic 1 do.
- 20:15You at this point, no. Do you?
- 20:17No, I don't have a cosmic 1. Yeah, so we're in the same boat.
- 20:22Yeah, I know in my memory I'll probably forget to buy one.
- 20:28You'd be a post we post on the Cabal like a day after legions
- 20:31convene as. Anyone vegan?
- 20:33Vegan Anthony? Well, we can get them reprinted
- 20:36for you or obviously, but maybe I'll just say no, they're
- 20:40totally exclusive. So the plan is exclusive for
- 20:43Legions Con, but we might, we might have Anthony do another
- 20:47batch and sell them through his toy forge.
- 20:52Let's see. Should be very exciting to get
- 20:55those into people's hands at Legions Con and I hope that the
- 20:58level of interest turns into people actually picking them up.
- 21:02And so yeah, I'll have a couple of painted ones, obviously
- 21:06opposed to the painted leprechauns and a couple of
- 21:08other people Mitre. I mean those ones, I don't know
- 21:11if people are going to keep them or sell them, make or sell the
- 21:13customs, keep the customs, but you can see with them directly
- 21:17because they're free to do with it what they like, right?
- 21:22And. Don't forget everyone, we're
- 21:23talking about Legions Con as well.
- 21:24Don't forget we've got the awesome new shirt Yeah up this
- 21:28year as well, pre-orders. So if you want it, get in
- 21:31contact with us. Yeah.
- 21:32Well, I can tell you that the the pre-order has gone in.
- 21:37I have put a couple of it's gone in and paid for thanks to our
- 21:41awesome patrons. And I have put the order in with
- 21:47a few extra of each size that I got orders for, which was all
- 21:51the sizes pretty much. So there has there will be a
- 21:55couple of spares, but not that many.
- 21:58But anyone that sent me a message giving me a size, I have
- 22:02the list. And when I get the shirts at
- 22:05Legions Con, I'm going to basically put names in all the
- 22:08different ones like, you know, whatever little sticky note on
- 22:12each one. So who they're who they're
- 22:13foreign wants to buy them. And obviously if those people
- 22:16don't buy them, then those shirts will be available too,
- 22:18but there will just be a small overflow.
- 22:22We're talking five or six extra, not much more than that.
- 22:25So you and one last thing before we get into the main topic for
- 22:33today is the four Horsemen posted some cosmic test shots
- 22:39are kind of, you know, in the process test shots, not like the
- 22:43ones they sell, but you know the ones that they debug and stuff
- 22:47like that. These are from the Ox crew waves
- 22:51so that the two ox crew waves actually very exciting to see
- 22:57these suits kind of in figure form, not just prototype.
- 23:02They look cool. Orvar's head is enormous.
- 23:07It looks so good though. Yeah, really got me really
- 23:11excited for over. I'm really excited for Over as
- 23:14well. Hilarious there as well.
- 23:16She her head is much smaller than over.
- 23:21Yeah, she she looks like she's wearing a big spacesuit.
- 23:23Yeah, all bar looks like he's wearing a skin tight, like
- 23:26leotard or something. Yeah.
- 23:28Because she's standing in between and over and the the
- 23:33other animal guy who have never forgotten from wave 2 the the
- 23:36gorilla guy. Cog.
- 23:38A cog, yes, I would. I forget it.
- 23:40She looks like her head's too small.
- 23:42But it's not as you say, it's just a human woman.
- 23:45Or you know, a human type woman. She's not human but she's she
- 23:49looks more human than the others and in a space suit as you say.
- 23:54You know, I'm sure if she she was a out of her space suit
- 23:57she'd be a two point O built and Rich wouldn't buy her then.
- 24:04He'd buy us, buy a secretly, and then tell us it's his favorite a
- 24:07year later. Correct.
- 24:11When we get to the words of the most most underrated figure,
- 24:15nobody else underrated it Rich. I certainly wouldn't buy her.
- 24:19She's a human. Keep cosmetium human free.
- 24:23And maybe down the T-shirts. At the comp.
- 24:27Yeah. And then down in the table there
- 24:30we have OK, I think. Is it OK or is it the new one?
- 24:39I can't tell. I think it's, I think.
- 24:41It's the original one with a strap.
- 24:43Yeah, because he's got. Like a little mechanically
- 24:45looking shoulder pad to say. Yeah, well, one of them anyway.
- 24:49One of those two. So there we go.
- 24:53So now we're going to get into what we're going to do with
- 24:58Legions figures if we could or couldn't, right?
- 25:10So we, we basically picked a bunch of public domain
- 25:13characters and the format is that we just kind of say how we
- 25:18might build them with legions. And we've limited ourselves to
- 25:22maybe two or three new sculpted parts per figure.
- 25:26And so you could see these like, yeah, in general, man, maybe you
- 25:33have a figure that has no new parts, and then maybe you could
- 25:35carry those two, you know that I guess that's how they do it in
- 25:38the real thing. You know, it's like here's 2
- 25:40repaints and here's one fully new figure from from scratch
- 25:46and. More life's that really the
- 25:47rules. Yeah, well, well, you can, you
- 25:50know, then you're then you know what you are rich, then you're a
- 25:53good boy and you'll get, you'll get chocolate milk and Oreos
- 26:00before bedtime. There you go.
- 26:03And so, yeah, we. And then it's not necessarily
- 26:08thinking like we've taken public domain characters for the most
- 26:11part, I think, and it's not necessarily to slot them into
- 26:14anyone line. But you know, we we might say,
- 26:17oh, like this would be a cool figure, obscure maybe, or this
- 26:20would be fit into mythos somehow as a character, as a nod to that
- 26:25particular character. And then Rich might go even
- 26:28further and have a bio, I don't know.
- 26:30Rich has Rich is assigned all five of his two factions, and
- 26:34they have BIOS. So that's why it was quiet at
- 26:37work, is it? Yeah, I learned it's fair.
- 26:41Say he knew I was in a lunch break.
- 26:43Right. So who wants to go first?
- 26:46Or shall I just put one up here on the screen and then you have
- 26:50to go? First, because my first one's a
- 26:52bit of a cheat and a bit of an easy.
- 26:54One which is your first one? D'artagnan.
- 26:57OK, here he is. It could have been any one of
- 27:00the Musketeers really, but I went with d'artagnan because he
- 27:03perhaps is a little less musketeery than the Musketeers.
- 27:10So so. Mal, of course, sorry to
- 27:13interrupt. Before you go any further, can I
- 27:14just say based on last week's episode, this should this should
- 27:18have been Dog Tannion and the Musketeer.
- 27:21That actually really could have been it.
- 27:24Could have been a dog sculpt underneath this, that'd have
- 27:26been great. I didn't think about that.
- 27:27That would have been really good.
- 27:29You could. So there you go.
- 27:30Second head is a dog's head, so needs a new head.
- 27:38There isn't anything that we could use from Legions that
- 27:42really matches that French look from I'm not sure what period it
- 27:48would be exactly. A Renaissance.
- 27:51No, it's not renaissance, is it? I don't know, but yeah.
- 27:56So I'd, but I wouldn't necessarily have it looking like
- 27:59the one and we've got an image there.
- 28:01I'd tend to go for a younger head.
- 28:03Long hair, no no beard, no mustache.
- 28:07Keeping a bit different to the other three Musketeers who all
- 28:10have facial hair. Generally when you see images of
- 28:13them. Obviously got to have the floppy
- 28:18Musketeer style hat. I think you've got to have it
- 28:21sculpted on to get the proper flop and so it sits on his head
- 28:24in the way you want it to. Maybe do one with the hat, one
- 28:29head sculpt with the hat, one without.
- 28:31And this, then is why it's a bit of a cheat, because quite
- 28:35honestly, it's mostly the build that we see with Jacob Marley.
- 28:40Yeah, why not? Yeah, minus his coat and with
- 28:45leather gloved hands rather than bare hands.
- 28:50You know, human hands, not bare hands.
- 28:52That would be something else, and I think the you'd need a new
- 29:01piece in that. I think you'd need to either
- 29:03sculpt a new coat, which I think would look better perhaps than
- 29:08the cloth coat in this case. In the image we've got here is
- 29:13where it looks like he's wearing a cloak, but there's quite a lot
- 29:16of images of them where they're wearing more of a yeah, it's not
- 29:19really a trench coat, but a trench coat kind of coat.
- 29:24The one bit of soft goods I would give him is a cloth sash
- 29:28for his waist to just, you know, make that middle section look a
- 29:34bit more complete. And maybe leather, you know, not
- 29:39real leather, but the the belt. Yeah.
- 29:42Yeah. For his sword and the weapons,
- 29:46you'd have to have a new one made because he's got to be a
- 29:49rapier, hasn't it? Otherwise it's not a Musketeer.
- 29:52So and a flintlock pistol, which would be amazing if we got a
- 29:56flintlock pistol. Yeah, it would be cool, but you
- 30:00could definitely, I think the rapier could definitely be
- 30:02reused. Yes.
- 30:03Oh yeah. So Matex and stuff, so very
- 30:07good. So I've just put generic, I've
- 30:12chosen generic images of the different characters just to
- 30:15represent them. So we have something on the
- 30:18screen here for YouTube and so should I go next then with Robin
- 30:26Hood? And my favorite Robin Hood
- 30:30mentioned before is Robin of Sherwood.
- 30:32And so I want him to have. So I want a new head sculpt for
- 30:38Robin Hood. And I wanted to be a mullet head
- 30:41sculpt and with a then he has a soft goods cloak with a hood on
- 30:48it. So that's the kind of main Robin
- 30:51Hood, Robin Hoodiness of it. And and then it's going to be
- 30:55basically a Bardric build with the kind of weathered, more
- 31:00weathered paint job, maybe worn more worn.
- 31:04Obviously the cloth in her arms and upper legs can be that kind
- 31:09of off white kind of weathered like shirt or whatever.
- 31:15And then I'd go with the Northeast, the boots that came
- 31:18on Neve and the upper part of that, which is which is actually
- 31:24like bare flesh on Nevae. You could just paint that in the
- 31:27same color as the cloth legs and should match it up pretty OK, I
- 31:32think. And then obviously short bow and
- 31:36a long bow painted in wood, like wood, like it's wood.
- 31:41I think they could do that with those scopes that they have and
- 31:45a dagger, just a little dagger, a boot knife would be perfect.
- 31:49But you know, anywhere that you can get the dagger in there as
- 31:53one of the leather belts, you know, whichever.
- 31:56They have a lot of cool leather belts.
- 31:57Now they have a belts pack coming, so, you know, pick your
- 32:00boys in there. That'll be good.
- 32:03And obviously the quiver with the arrows, and maybe they could
- 32:07do a new one with arrows that you could put in and out.
- 32:09That would be really cool, wouldn't it?
- 32:13Yeah. But yeah, I definitely think
- 32:15Robin Hood with the mullet. I'd love the whole like, like
- 32:20Nazir here, the guy in Robin and Sherwood, this kind of second
- 32:24from the left on that picture that I have up here.
- 32:27He's an awesome character in that he'd be an awesome figure.
- 32:31He almost has the Bardrick chest there.
- 32:33He does, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 32:36And obviously have little John could be brute scale for our
- 32:40talk the tricky 1. Is that is the actor?
- 32:44Is it Clive? I mean, the actor played Little
- 32:45John in this. Yes, I think so.
- 32:47Yeah, he was. I've just not the clay borne now
- 32:50from from the the famous one from the 2000s, no.
- 32:55From Sin City, etcetera. Or Clive?
- 32:57No Clive. Clive Mantle.
- 32:59Yeah, Clive Mantle, I think you're yeah.
- 33:02He's actually watching Game of Thrones, and he's one of John,
- 33:05one of Rob Stark's general. Yeah, I.
- 33:09Don't. Know why that maybe I didn't
- 33:11want to come back, but he was great in that.
- 33:13Yeah, I think he was. I think one of them was in Game
- 33:15of Thrones. I remember reading that.
- 33:17So yeah. So Robin Hood anyway, but I'd
- 33:21like, yeah, a grizzy or a grizzy kind of worn one.
- 33:24Not, not this kind of polished Hollywood Robin Hood, you know?
- 33:29So that's my Robin Hood, Rich. You want to go?
- 33:32Who do you want to go first? Anyone.
- 33:35I've got notes on the wall. So here is it is this is.
- 33:42Abraham. Abraham.
- 33:44Helsing And I think that art is based on the guy that the guy
- 33:50from Star Wars. It's Peter Cushion, Peter.
- 33:55Cushion, exactly. Yeah, Yeah.
- 33:59So tell us. OK, Hunter.
- 34:02Yes, mine's a bit different to how this one looks.
- 34:05I'm going to read the BIOS because, you know, people need
- 34:08to hear me read back. It's not so my Abraham.
- 34:13Abraham Van Helsing is a part of Zyloner's flock.
- 34:18Abraham Van Helsing is the latest in a long line of
- 34:21whispering vampire hunters. This Alvin family breed big sons
- 34:24and daughters and don't rely on speed as much as other elves do.
- 34:28Their innate strength and endurable endurance initially
- 34:30led to the family traveling around the forests of Zylonia
- 34:33with a touring circus, showing off feats of strength and
- 34:35stamina. Their profession changed their
- 34:37one disastrous awesome day when the village they were performing
- 34:40in was attacked by vampires. The vampires thought they had
- 34:43easy targets, but were surprised when one of the circus folks
- 34:46almost tore a vampire in half with his bare hands.
- 34:49The family's knife thrower then joined in, killing three more
- 34:52vampires by throwing stakes made of wood.
- 34:54The vampires fled, and the Van Helsing family decided that
- 34:57maybe they had a different path, and one that helped others.
- 35:00A century later, Abraham Van Helsing is the leader of the
- 35:03family's vampire hunters and is as adept with throwing stakes as
- 35:06he is with his crossbow and silver bolts.
- 35:10That's cool. Fantastic, fantastic.
- 35:13I feel, I feel like I I failed on my prep.
- 35:16Now I want to hear that. Yeah, so I'd have a 1.0 build.
- 35:24I quite like the whisperings as 1.0 and obviously you know, big
- 35:26strong rather than the live elves.
- 35:29I'd need a new head sculpt. Obviously green skin, pointy
- 35:34ears. I'd want some sort of scars
- 35:36seal. It from Black Series.
- 35:41Peter Cushing. I'd want it like scars down the
- 35:46face, almost like a vampire, like raked his face in an
- 35:49attack. So there's like your old scars
- 35:51sort of thing across the face sculpt.
- 35:54I'd want a soft goods hat, so like with a wire rim in it, but
- 35:59we're like a slightly floppy tops or quite a wide rimmed hat,
- 36:03but like a little floppy top to it.
- 36:05And maybe even with the ELF is sticking out of of the fat do
- 36:09little flaps, but that could be big.
- 36:11So sculpted or play our soft goods.
- 36:13Soft goods for hat I think because he allowed people to do
- 36:16different things with it and tilt in that sort of stuff.
- 36:20I'd use a Valak style torso and skirt piece.
- 36:24I think that'd work well with it, but I'd it'd be bright
- 36:26orange in color with silver studs.
- 36:30I'd want lots of, you know, articulation, as it were.
- 36:36So I'd have the valley at night, arms and legs so armored.
- 36:40Stop that. Any bites getting through If the
- 36:42vampires managed to get hold of him, they can't, you know, can't
- 36:44get the teeth through the armor. It gives great articulation.
- 36:47And I'd want them a sort of like silver horn sentry, sort of like
- 36:50ready brown sort of color to those pieces.
- 36:55I've just realized I've got four new bits and this one happened.
- 36:57Like damn. Sorry Mal, I'm doing good.
- 37:00Liar, liar. I know one of the two main
- 37:03things for this for me would be a new soft goods coat, sort of
- 37:08like a long coat that he can wear, but on the inside.
- 37:12So if you open the coat out, there'd be there'd be a row of
- 37:14like little, little things that can put stakes in.
- 37:18So you can just open his coat or pull a stake out and just stab
- 37:21the vampire with it. So yeah, lots of straps inside.
- 37:25Yeah. I.
- 37:27Think we we don't need to call soft goods like newly sculpted
- 37:31piece or you know you know, soft goods is category.
- 37:34I think you can. I'm still not as it's probably
- 37:39not as expensive to manufacture, you know, or to tools, soft
- 37:43goods, it's. I will say I've got visions of
- 37:47him having stakes, as in the the things to stab vampires and then
- 37:51underneath stakes to distract the werewolves.
- 37:54That'd be brilliant. That would be a good, fun little
- 38:02thing, yeah. And then the other new sculpted
- 38:07piece would be actual wooden stakes.
- 38:09So we need, we need some of them to actually arm in with them.
- 38:12Yeah, he'd have a crossbow as well.
- 38:15Obviously the arrows would be silver, and I really quite like
- 38:19the dagger that comes. I'm not sure what's coming with
- 38:21anywhere else, but it comes with a Scapular version 2.
- 38:23So it's the dagger, but it's got a bit of a curved blade on it.
- 38:26So that blade made of like solid silver for he's stabbing the
- 38:29vampires as well. Yeah, that'd be cool.
- 38:31Brilliant, love that. Right, Mal, Who do you want to
- 38:35do next? Whoever comes up.
- 38:39OK, Red Riding Hood. This is actually one of my fave,
- 38:44well, possibly my favorite one I've done.
- 38:48And I kind of, you know, we're going with kind of what this
- 38:53image is sort of pointing to, you know, bit more of a badass
- 38:57Red Riding Hood, a little bit inspired by what fresh monkey
- 39:03fiction look like they're going to do for Monster force.
- 39:07So I actually, yeah, could do a new head, maybe a female head
- 39:12with the sculpted hood. I'm not sure.
- 39:15I actually like the idea of having hair though, in a cloth
- 39:19hood. And you could use the head
- 39:22front. Yeah.
- 39:24And you could use the head from the All Star Five pack, I think.
- 39:27I think that'd be quite a cool Red Riding Hood head as it is,
- 39:32you know, you wouldn't need to do anything with it.
- 39:35Upper arm down to the gauntlet would be the bare 2.0 arms.
- 39:43Body would be the leather leather piece that Thrace
- 39:48Raythaler and Artemus Silver Cord have.
- 39:51Probably in brown or well, no, I'd probably go Reds and purples
- 39:54and maybe some blacks in there. But keep it very consistent in
- 40:00lots of Reds and variety. You know it.
- 40:03To hammer it home, it's Red Riding Hood, you know.
- 40:09Waist piece though, I'd go a little different.
- 40:11I'd actually use the cosmic belt that you get with these, the
- 40:17female characters, but without the armor on them.
- 40:21So it is just a belt I'd go right.
- 40:27I was a bit torn between. I didn't want to look too much
- 40:31like a femme fatale so I stayed away from the bare legs as if
- 40:37she's wearing skin tight trousers and went with the 2.0
- 40:41cloth legs so they're a bit back here.
- 40:44Oh yeah, these Pitar they come with.
- 40:46Yeah, that's exactly it. Yeah, the ones that are going to
- 40:48come with these Pitar and then give her the 2.0 leather pirate
- 40:54looking boots. I can't think who they come in
- 40:58with them. Are they on Manisha Silverhorn.
- 41:01Cinderhorn possibly, yes, yes, and also, well, I said I'd give
- 41:08her the gloves that Manisha said and Horny is going to have as
- 41:11well. By looking at this image, I
- 41:13think it actually actually looked quite good with a
- 41:17gauntlet of some kind to protect a bow firing arm.
- 41:20However, weapons wise, I'll go back to cloth goods.
- 41:25Weapons wise, I've given her a crossbow rather than a proper
- 41:28bow because I just feel like, you know, pull that out, shoot
- 41:32away and the axe from the upcoming dwarf builder pack
- 41:36because it looks a little bit more like a woodsman's axe than
- 41:41some of the other axes. Then obviously cloth goods, red
- 41:45Cape with a hood, but I'd also add to the cloth skirt piece and
- 41:52loin piece a bit like the Monkey King has, just to finish her off
- 41:56a bit and give her a bit more, you know, stuff going on.
- 42:03But that's that's pretty much what I think I'd do with that.
- 42:06Awesome. Yeah, nice.
- 42:08When when I figured out we could of course use as the parts from
- 42:13the the rising Sun's wave and Necronominus.
- 42:16That settled me down nicely. I was able to kind of figure out
- 42:20my characters after I I figured that out.
- 42:24And especially for the Robin Hood there with the boots and
- 42:27stuff. And OK, so it's me next, I
- 42:32think, and I'm going to go with Long John Silver.
- 42:37So pirate and like you said earlier, for your first one
- 42:42there, Mal, the Marley build, you know, but this time with the
- 42:47jacket, I think we can do the jacket.
- 42:48You can see the cuffs there. You know, they're going to be
- 42:52the same as what's on Jacob Marley, pretty much a new head
- 42:59sculpt. So I think a new head sculpt and
- 43:02you can just have the head with the with the with the the hat,
- 43:07the pirate hat or whatever pirate style hat and a peg leg.
- 43:14I think I'd go with a peg leg, even if he doesn't have one in
- 43:18this picture that I picked here from the Internet, but and
- 43:22obviously little Paris. So maybe we'd go with the Valak
- 43:26style system where you hang it on the arm.
- 43:29But I think a parent on the shoulder would be cool too.
- 43:33Maybe a parrot that plugs into the the pauldron ports because
- 43:37you probably yeah. And and then a stick like Crotos
- 43:45has, I think instead of like here, he has a like a crutches
- 43:52as a stick, but I think the stick like Crotos has would be
- 43:56cool. Or maybe with the different, I
- 43:57don't know if he can make a different Topper for that or
- 43:59something. Or and yeah, that type of style
- 44:02gun. So I think you had mentioned
- 44:05that as well, that type of flintlock gun, man flintlock.
- 44:08Yeah. And so that would be cool.
- 44:11Obviously maybe no guns in Mittos.
- 44:12So he might fit into the more just unique character.
- 44:18So figure Obscura more than that.
- 44:21But yeah, that would be a cool way to get a type of a pirate
- 44:24type build in. And then for lower legs, I don't
- 44:29know what we could do here. Maybe, you know, use the cloth
- 44:36legs and then maybe bare, bare legs painted to match the cloth.
- 44:42Or if we'll ever get cloth lower legs, I don't know.
- 44:45Or something. That would be cool.
- 44:48Yeah. So that's long John Silver.
- 44:50You could probably do a lot more with him, but I'm thinking of
- 44:53the most cost of three. You know, they may be the
- 44:55easiest way. So you got the new, new head
- 44:57sculpt, the parrot and maybe the gun.
- 45:01And obviously, again, you know, use whatever belt you you feel
- 45:05ties this thing together. That would work.
- 45:10Right. Rich, you ready?
- 45:13Always. So we got Alan Quartermain.
- 45:20So you have we have actually 2 pictures here.
- 45:22We do so this this is the famous Victorian hunter and big game
- 45:28hunter and treasure hunter from the 1800s that that was written
- 45:32about in various books. I love the character films.
- 45:38Films are cheesy with Richard Chamberlain, but they're very
- 45:42good fun. So as soon as I saw this guy, I
- 45:44was like, yeah, let's let's get him in there.
- 45:47So Maya, Alan Quartermaine is a member of the Sons of the Red
- 45:50Star and his bio is as follows. Alan Quartermaine is one of
- 45:56Mythos's greatest hunters. He is hired by nobility from
- 45:59across the continent to help them with their trophy hunts.
- 46:02He is also hired to hunt beasts and monsters that terrorize the
- 46:05countryside. Able to bring down almost any
- 46:07size creature from 200 yards or more with his Longbow, His
- 46:10quarry often don't even see, hear or smell him.
- 46:13He is renowned for often talking to the beasts he kills to soothe
- 46:17them just before delivering the final death blow with his Mace.
- 46:20Painless. Nice, Like it?
- 46:26Yeah. Do you want to?
- 46:27Will I show the build that you do?
- 46:29Show the build. I did the actual full build for
- 46:31this one. So this is if Rich had another
- 46:35two working days, he would have. Yeah, exactly.
- 46:41So we start off on at the very top with a, a new piece.
- 46:45This would be a, a kettle helmet.
- 46:48I wanted something that would fit into mythics more than a
- 46:51floppy hat sort of thing. So it's the the steel kettle
- 46:54helmet there. So that'd be a new piece.
- 46:57And you have to go with the Magnus head.
- 46:58You know, Quartermaine's this bearded hunter Magnus has the
- 47:02best beard in mythos. So therefore a Magnus head.
- 47:06It's not in the picture, but I'd also want, you know, the white
- 47:10soft goods coming over the shoulders that broad Broder has.
- 47:14I'd want those but with like a leopard pelts or some sort of
- 47:17big cat pelt. So you could you could see he's
- 47:19a hunter without making too much grave.
- 47:21And like the torso would be Broder's leather torso.
- 47:27I'm kind of amusing so many house the noble bear parts here,
- 47:30but there we go. It's because no.
- 47:35And then the leather pauldrons, the black.
- 47:38Isn't a Viking, not even like, you know, a barbarian?
- 47:42Come on this. Is true, this is true.
- 47:44OK that's not as bad then. I'd use fabric style upper arms
- 47:49but with the lower arms uncovered but with leather wrist
- 47:52straps around them so you know you could have it with or
- 47:55without the leather straps if you want to.
- 47:57And just the bare hands. You can better feel for the bow
- 48:00and that sort of stuff. Bro does leather skirt again,
- 48:05lacks the Viking, the multi loop belt.
- 48:09So the belts on the left hand side as we're looking at the
- 48:12picture it's got, it's got like a couple of straps and a couple
- 48:15of loops and that sort of thing. So you can hold all these
- 48:17different hunting goods in there.
- 48:20I'd want a new soft goods loincloth, but a really short
- 48:24one. I don't want something flapping
- 48:26between his legs as it were. I just want something that's
- 48:29going to I just want something that's going to cover that,
- 48:31cover the little gap, but not be too big or cumbersome or get in
- 48:36the way that's. What?
- 48:37She said. Just to notice.
- 48:42This woman, I need to meet her quick.
- 48:49You could just attach his dagger there.
- 48:53Wow, I go for the fabric style thighs and the leather boots.
- 48:58And I've just nicked Kai patches.
- 48:59Picture for the bottom here I'd go slightly the lighter brown
- 49:03than Kai Patcher, more of like a form sort of colour to it.
- 49:08And the same with the arms. Again, that same sort of light
- 49:11brown sort of colouring to them in terms of accessories.
- 49:16You can see here. So we've got the bottom, we've
- 49:18got the little dagger that comes with the sheath.
- 49:21So that'd be his his knife for skinning the pelts off the
- 49:24things he kills. You got his Mace painless above
- 49:28that. That's the one that comes with
- 49:30Sir Elijah, and it's got a spiked end and a blunt end, so
- 49:34you know whichever way he feels like.
- 49:36Taking out the animal. OK, OK, OK, OK.
- 49:40There's the, there's. Unless it's waffles.
- 49:47There's the long, long bone quiver again.
- 49:50You like you don't think I'd rather a new quiver if could.
- 49:52Certainly less ornamental than the ones we've got at the
- 49:54moment. And a spear, a good old spear,
- 49:56just to hurl that and take something down as well.
- 49:59And then lastly, and I forgot to put them in the picture, I'm
- 50:01annoyed myself because I cropped them and everything.
- 50:04Some hunting, so a little bag of hunting trophies and I'd use the
- 50:07skulls from the heads pack. So gorilla one, the big cat one.
- 50:10That would be cool. So you'd have to use.
- 50:13This like hunting trophy. Santa's bag no.
- 50:16Yes, we could indeed use Santa's sack.
- 50:18Ain't it different colour? Yeah, yeah.
- 50:21So that's that's my. Full size 1.0 here is just Maybe
- 50:25it's a cropping that's just the. Cropping's awful, quite frankly.
- 50:28Yeah, but I only have so much time on my lunch break, so this
- 50:31is no problem. What program do you use for
- 50:34that? Is it's word or something?
- 50:36Isn't it stupid? It's just word and oh God,
- 50:41what's it called? The function that's called.
- 50:44Yeah, OK. But it's it's, yeah.
- 50:45Snipping Tool, Word and Snipping Tool.
- 50:47I'm I'm not still bad. I'm not advanced enough to do
- 50:49Photoshop or anything like that, so it's just.
- 50:51Basic. It's kind of amazing, though.
- 50:57Very good. Sort of.
- 51:03Carry on my mouth, my mind's gone.
- 51:07You'll be fine next week, don't worry.
- 51:09Just got to get through this, man.
- 51:10Got to get through this and yeah, I really like him.
- 51:13I that's one I definitely, without knowing that much about
- 51:17the character, would just buy because it looks cool.
- 51:20So. Yeah, I really like the pieces
- 51:22together. I think that's one for me.
- 51:25Mal, have we've got. Are you up for another one?
- 51:28Yeah, yeah, go for it. Right, John Carter.
- 51:32John Carter from Mars. So I obviously had to go for one
- 51:36that could be a little bit cosmic.
- 51:41There's lots of I was trying to find a real good description of
- 51:44him and, and looking at various pictures and there's all sorts
- 51:49of different looks for him quite a lot similar to this one, which
- 51:55is a bit barbarian like with add-ons.
- 52:01So, but as I say, I've perhaps veered a bit more towards cosmic
- 52:05than he actually looks in a lot of these images as well.
- 52:10So again, new head sculpt youngish with long hair, but I
- 52:15did notice a lot of the pictures of him had short hair.
- 52:19So if you're going to do that, I'd actually go with the Attila
- 52:27head as as as that option. Cool.
- 52:32Yeah, Bear torso, probably the barbarian one, new barbarian one
- 52:39from Attila Atlas use a new the arms that come with a new base
- 52:46because I want those bracelets around the top.
- 52:50Has he got them? Yes, yes, I just said it and
- 52:52then I couldn't. And the Anubis hands and upper
- 52:58legs as well. It need a new piece that was
- 53:04essentially straps, leather straps or you know, faux leather
- 53:09straps. But as I say, a lot of them seem
- 53:11to have this chest harness that he wears with the circle and
- 53:15some symbols in the middle, which I don't know if that's
- 53:18something in the story. I can't remember.
- 53:20I've never read the story. I've only watched the slightly
- 53:23dodgy film and I can't remember what that with that's got any
- 53:27particular reason to make. This is where I'd then go a bit
- 53:33cosmic. Make him a bit different.
- 53:35I'd give him one cosmic wrist guard on maybe his left side
- 53:39because he always looks like he's right-handed.
- 53:41And on his right side the more armored wrist gauntlet, the
- 53:45leather one with the armor plate on the back so you know,
- 53:48protection for when he's using his sword.
- 53:53Again, cosmic belt just to keep giving it that cosmic feel.
- 53:57Again, one without the armor plates on the hips, the boots.
- 54:03I do a bit of the mishmash that I did with a figure of not sort
- 54:08of showing off yet, which is a mixed the top of the pirate boot
- 54:14with Novian leans boot. And that's to give him a sort
- 54:18of, yeah, that give him a bit of a mix of cosmic and mythic,
- 54:22again, you know, a more mythic style boot, but with the metal
- 54:25plates gives it that cosmic, a little bit steampunk vibe, I
- 54:29guess. Yeah, cloth goods, Cape.
- 54:33And again, I'd give him the because I really love it the way
- 54:36it looks, the Monkey King style skirt piece and loincloth bit
- 54:40because he always seems to be wearing this like nappy
- 54:43construction. And I can't think of anything
- 54:45that looks similar to that. And I actually think my idea
- 54:49would look better in Figure 4. We need a nappy.
- 55:00Yeah. And then he's often he's got
- 55:02like, I'm guessing because isn't he like from the military and
- 55:05wherever he comes from, he's got a game.
- 55:08He's in the Civil War in America.
- 55:09Yeah, so to keep him a bit more cosmic, I'd give him a cosmic
- 55:14pistol, one of the pistols. And again, he's got a sword that
- 55:18we don't really have yet. But I like what they're doing
- 55:22with the Legions Contu pack and the sword they're using in that.
- 55:26And it comes Kai Pasha comes with that sword as well and it
- 55:29looks really cool and a little bit like it could be a cosmic
- 55:32sword. So I'd put that in there with it
- 55:35as well. And.
- 55:37Very cool. Yeah, very cool.
- 55:40Another one sounds great. Would buy.
- 55:42Would buy for sure. Often the reference of
- 55:46Barbarians at the beginning now. Apart from all the Atlas party
- 55:50views right? The wicked witch?
- 55:58So from Wizard of Oz. This is quite an easy one I
- 56:03think to do if you use the soft goods.
- 56:05Especially the way I had did it was basically a trace build, but
- 56:17maybe with female cloth arms and legs from DSP.
- 56:21So do them just in black soft goods cloak.
- 56:25So the black kind of cloak that maybe goes front and back and
- 56:32and then you want a wand broom. Maybe you could make a broom out
- 56:37of the sticks from Krampus. Maybe get a get a handle part
- 56:42into that. Or you just sculpt a new broom.
- 56:45We don't have a broom in the library or anything like that.
- 56:48No, not that I remember, no. And then for the head, I'd go
- 56:54with the blue lit head, but the one with the nose and do that in
- 56:59green to give her just a slightly different look, but
- 57:04quite cool. And for the the skirt piece,
- 57:08again, soft goods, you could do a soft goods kind of lower lung
- 57:12to make it look like a big black dress that she's on.
- 57:16And then just whatever parts under and it would be a 2.0
- 57:19figure. So, and I think that would be a
- 57:22cool 1A soft goods hat. Is that or would you do?
- 57:26Yeah, I think with the blue lit head, you'd have to do the soft
- 57:29goods hats, obviously, yeah. Would you, would your instinct
- 57:33have been to do the soft goods hat or or do a new totally new
- 57:37head with the? In this case you could, because
- 57:41it'd have to probably have some sort of lining to keep it quite
- 57:46rigid anyway, wouldn't it? Yeah.
- 57:50Yeah, I think for something like a witch, I think always soft
- 57:53goods hat would probably work better anyway.
- 57:55Yeah, yeah, I definitely got soft goods with this.
- 57:57Yeah, so there you go. That's the the Wicked Witch.
- 58:02Then we have the Wicked rich. Very good.
- 58:07Well, wicked and cool. With the Creature from Black
- 58:12Lagoon, the. Creature from the Black Lagoon
- 58:14So this this is my easiest combination.
- 58:17There's a lot of reuse in this one so I'm interested.
- 58:23My creature from the black lagoon is in circle epoxy, of
- 58:28course. The creature from the black
- 58:31lagoon is regarded by most as a bedtime story designed to scare
- 58:34children from the dangers of playing in lakes and rivers.
- 58:36Is anything but a story, though. This poor unfortunate creature
- 58:39was once a proud knight of the Order of Ethor during the First
- 58:42Great War. The night fought valiantly, but
- 58:44was cast down by Warlock from Poxus's ranks and turned into a
- 58:48monstrous beast. This thing had scaly skin, rows
- 58:52of razor sharp teeth and webbed appendages.
- 58:55Forced to live underwater because of his gills, the
- 58:57creature retreated to a large lake near the battle site.
- 59:00Over the centuries he has periodically risen from the
- 59:03depths to feast on passers by before returning and vanishing
- 59:05for decades Now though, with Poxus.
- 59:09Poxus's return to mythos the creature feels an inexorable
- 59:13pull towards this dark power and has left the lake to feast and.
- 59:17Kill. Wow, that's pretty cool.
- 59:23Fits right in. Yeah, exactly.
- 59:25Perfect for mythos. Who so?
- 59:28Who's the warlocks in poxes? Is it?
- 59:30Is it? Do we have one now?
- 59:33Well. We've got Harry Zach who's
- 59:35clusters wizard vibe attempt. It's called Warlock.
- 59:37Yeah, he's got a war. Lucky look hasn't.
- 59:40He he has so need a new head sculpt with this.
- 59:44We don't got anything I don't think that would work
- 59:45particularly well for it. Yeah, I'd want something that's
- 59:49pretty menacing with lots of sharp teeth.
- 59:51So he looks like any minute he's about to just rip your arm off
- 59:54as soon as look at you, but with gills on the side.
- 59:57So you can, you know, gives the homage to the creature of the
- 59:59wagon and you can see he's an underwater creature.
- 1:00:03Then I'd use mainly Thraxian pieces, so the Thraxian torso,
- 1:00:07arms and legs, all unarmored, painted green, greeny blue, that
- 1:00:13sort of color palette. I'd give him new web hands and
- 1:00:17feet. You know, my love of web hands
- 1:00:19and feet from last episode with the claws on here.
- 1:00:23So they'd look very similar to this.
- 1:00:26But I think again, that would work very well with the Thraxian
- 1:00:28sort of lizard type or texture and feel to those.
- 1:00:32I'd have to give him a skirt and loincloth just so that he's not
- 1:00:35flashing everybody. I'd go for the original 1, the
- 1:00:40original night one, so from the very first Kickstarter.
- 1:00:42So it's it's a homage to somebody that was alive
- 1:00:45centuries ago before he got to like an old thing, but painted
- 1:00:49them to sort of give it like a rusty feel to them.
- 1:00:51So not like, you know, rusting away or anything, but certainly,
- 1:00:53you know, they spend a lot of time underwater so that rusty
- 1:00:55sort of looks at them and then probably wouldn't have a weapon.
- 1:00:59But if I did, then the Trident, because it comes with Clavius,
- 1:01:04would be an excellent, you know, underwater weapon as it were to
- 1:01:07use. Right, isn't there, I think it
- 1:01:14maybe it is from blue lit. There is a kind of a ripped and
- 1:01:17tatty loincloth. I think it's I think she has it
- 1:01:22or no she. Is that a soft good one?
- 1:01:24No, she has soft goods. There was one I saw today.
- 1:01:27Yeah, I very much wanted like an armoured 1 so that it looked
- 1:01:29like, yeah, that's the last bitch, last vestiges of of when
- 1:01:33he was a knight sort of thing. Exactly.
- 1:01:36The black deaths got a ripped, tatty loincloth.
- 1:01:40That's the that's the line you've been thinking of.
- 1:01:43Summoned for the OH. Never.
- 1:01:45I saw it on as well. She has it in blue.
- 1:01:47That's where I saw it today. OK, but that's cool.
- 1:01:52Yeah. So you got the Creature Black
- 1:01:53Lagoon with how many new parts and new head and hands?
- 1:01:57You had hands and feet, so three, yeah.
- 1:02:00That's fair. Very good.
- 1:02:05Is it mile next? Yep, right now.
- 1:02:09How's that voice holding up? It sort of gets worse as I go
- 1:02:13along, doesn't it? But we'll go for it.
- 1:02:16We'll go. It's OK.
- 1:02:17Right, so the Hercules. This was a tricky 1 because of
- 1:02:21course, again, he's essentially a barbarian, isn't he really?
- 1:02:26So don't you mention the B word? Don't you mention the B word?
- 1:02:29But of course you want to a little bit more.
- 1:02:33You want to. He's a bit more.
- 1:02:35He's Greek, isn't it? Or is it?
- 1:02:38It is. Yeah.
- 1:02:39He's Greek. Yeah.
- 1:02:40Yeah, yeah. So you kind of need to keep that
- 1:02:43vibe about him. So head needs to be a new piece.
- 1:02:48There was a little bit of Migos. You could reuse the Atlas head
- 1:02:50for one of them. But I want that lion head helmet
- 1:02:55thing that he wears on the sculpt because it's so cool and
- 1:02:59so dramatic. So I think you need a new head
- 1:03:02sculpt for that because also also the one on Attila's two
- 1:03:09metal, it needs to be look like a real lion.
- 1:03:15The barbarian arms that come with broder bandages.
- 1:03:21I know in most pictures he's wearing like metallic bits of
- 1:03:24armor, but I like the bandage look.
- 1:03:26I think it just looks a little bit I.
- 1:03:29Mean the pictures only a guide you you can.
- 1:03:31Oh yeah. Well, I did a lot of searching,
- 1:03:33lots of image searches and things, a lot of them.
- 1:03:35He's wearing metal, you know, metal bits of metal armor and
- 1:03:39bits of leather armor. And so a lot of images.
- 1:03:45I think you need a completely new chest piece because you need
- 1:03:48that form fitting either metal or leather plate on the front,
- 1:03:56but then with visible flesh sort of or very thin cloth on the
- 1:04:03sides. And I think it must go.
- 1:04:07It sort of goes over the shoulder, under the arm and
- 1:04:11around the back and you know it probably does up at the back.
- 1:04:14You do that with kind of soft plastic over the normal.
- 1:04:17You could do yeah, I reckon that had work it it's an option,
- 1:04:22isn't it? So and it would mean you can you
- 1:04:25it's you're using the barbarian torso.
- 1:04:28They're not. Yeah.
- 1:04:28So that's probably a good option.
- 1:04:33I did say or you could maybe use the Oh no, it wouldn't work.
- 1:04:37No, ignore that. So yeah, so you'd need a new
- 1:04:40one. I'd in a couple of pictures.
- 1:04:44He had like a bit of armor, shoulder armor.
- 1:04:47So I'd go with one side that to give you that what you call it.
- 1:04:55Asymmetrical. Look, which looks kind of cool
- 1:04:58again on his whichever arm you're going to have him
- 1:05:00wielding his weapon and I'd give him the broder shoulder armor
- 1:05:04because that just looks cool and it's got that sort of leather
- 1:05:08effect. Looks like that kind of leather
- 1:05:11armor with sex segmented armor so they can move their arm.
- 1:05:15Give him the strap over his chest so that looks like it's
- 1:05:20strapped us onto him on something rather than floating.
- 1:05:23I did say for his skirt piece, I would possibly just give him the
- 1:05:28new Atlas skirt piece because and it's got fur as well.
- 1:05:34So you could use that whole thing with the fur piece and the
- 1:05:38and it just quite rustic and leather look in and just gives
- 1:05:42him something going on there. There's all sorts of different
- 1:05:44things. You see some you see with more
- 1:05:45of us of a skirt, but I like it. Looking at it again, a bit more
- 1:05:50barbarian esque. Sorry, rich barbarian legs,
- 1:05:56Atlas 2.0 top, upper legs, lower legs and feet.
- 1:06:01You need a new part. You need bare legs with sandal,
- 1:06:07sort of, you know what you call it, wraps around the leg?
- 1:06:14Yeah. And then sandal feet.
- 1:06:16So yes, I like the sort of Romans wear rather than armor
- 1:06:20because he isn't really very armored cloth goods.
- 1:06:26It's got to be a Cape that is made to look really thick and
- 1:06:30like lion skin to match the helmet that well, it's not a
- 1:06:34helmet, but he's a helmet and you'd have to have a new weapon
- 1:06:38made because he quite often depicted carrying a big club.
- 1:06:43So he needs that big club. It looks like basically a tree
- 1:06:46branch, so you need that, not Bran.
- 1:06:49Could you use the Lee Jay helmet on them?
- 1:06:52Lee Jay. Lee, Jay.
- 1:06:55The retailer Way of Guy. The helmet that goes over the
- 1:06:58orchid. No, no, no.
- 1:07:02His helmet is it's a it is just basically a big he's taken the
- 1:07:08head of a lion and wears off his head.
- 1:07:12Yeah, that's that's yeah, yeah, yeah, Attila then.
- 1:07:16Yeah. So that would be so that's yeah.
- 1:07:20So that's Hercules, my Hercules build.
- 1:07:23Excellent. Yeah.
- 1:07:25As long as he wasn't a Balearian Hercules be great.
- 1:07:28I've tried to keep strong because.
- 1:07:29Some of that Greek element to yeah, yeah, the.
- 1:07:32Strongest man from Greek mythology and he wears
- 1:07:35Birkenstocks. Because he's that strong, he
- 1:07:38doesn't. Matter, Yeah.
- 1:07:41Well, then it balances him out well, yeah, good base to do all
- 1:07:44the heavy lifting from with him. Yeah, he.
- 1:07:46Wears Birkenstocks. Does he put towels on sun
- 1:07:49loungers and package holidays? Definitely.
- 1:07:53Looks like he's not a good tan, yeah.
- 1:07:56Frankenstein's monster rich. All right then, so let me find
- 1:08:02it. So my Frankenstein's monster is
- 1:08:05a member of the Lithia's brood. The vampire Baron Frankenstein
- 1:08:09is feared and despised throughout mythos for his vile
- 1:08:12experiments with a living. He takes the captives from
- 1:08:14vampire raids to his laboratory in the White Spine and performs
- 1:08:18horrific experiments with his victims, including seeing just
- 1:08:21how much blood they can lose and stay alive, and how many parts
- 1:08:24they could have cut off them before they died.
- 1:08:26His latest abomination has been named Frankenstein's Monster by
- 1:08:29the other vampires. This foul mixture of numerous
- 1:08:32captives now fights for his vampire Lord.
- 1:08:35Although mindless, the creature is nonetheless very dangerous on
- 1:08:38the battlefield, as he seems to somehow remember various
- 1:08:41fighting styles from his various component parts.
- 1:08:44So not surprising that he's in the brood.
- 1:08:48No, no, I think that was a good fit for him, definitely.
- 1:08:52So he would be A 1.0 size, but I'd start off by shrinking down
- 1:08:57Canix Vols head for the head for this one.
- 1:09:03I know it's got some like cybernetic things on, but I
- 1:09:05think if you paint those cleverly you can make them look
- 1:09:07as if they're just bits of metal that had been shoved in as part
- 1:09:10of the experiment. I wonder what the would you even
- 1:09:13need to shrink down the head? No potentially a gas brute scale
- 1:09:17might work. Might give it more of an
- 1:09:19abomination sort of feel. Mind it like a really big head
- 1:09:22like Frankenstein. I'd use the Baron Volga version
- 1:09:271 torso and loincloth so it's clear he's a member of the
- 1:09:30vampire brood. Then just a mismatch of stuff
- 1:09:36from that point on. So the left arm would be like a
- 1:09:38fury orc upper arm and a green orc lower arm.
- 1:09:41So you've got the two different creatures there.
- 1:09:44The right arm would be Lord Dragools, a blue arm with a
- 1:09:48leather wrist strap. I'd use a skirt piece and voor
- 1:09:52fog. They're quite like that sort of
- 1:09:53aged look that some of that's got to like coppery sort of
- 1:09:56color. So I think that would work well
- 1:09:57with it. The left leg would be a Thraxian
- 1:10:00painted yellow or like a decaying color maybe rather than
- 1:10:03yellow, it's like an off yellow sort of thing.
- 1:10:07The upper part of the right leg would be a regular armoured
- 1:10:10knight piece. So you know, you don't know
- 1:10:12what's underneath there, but he's got the armor on that leg.
- 1:10:15And then the lower part would be again, Thraxian, but this time
- 1:10:18painted like a orange or orange, rotting into green sort of to
- 1:10:22give that really nasty look. It would also have, I'm sorry
- 1:10:27about this, John Balaam's tail coloured like Balaam so that
- 1:10:31he's killed a Jaguar alien and stuck that tail on the back.
- 1:10:34Oh. He's just stuck on the back of
- 1:10:37him. It's not even.
- 1:10:38Yeah, well. Inserted in his boom boom hole
- 1:10:40so he's got the the tail. That pin the tail on the
- 1:10:44monster. On the monster, yeah.
- 1:10:49It was a new weapon. I'd want an axe or a Mace head
- 1:10:51that fits into his wrist. It's almost like trap jaw sort
- 1:10:54of thing. It's something they haven't done
- 1:10:56yet with mythics, but I think that'd be really cool to have
- 1:10:58that go on to rather than handy down some weapon that's just
- 1:11:01been attached and then the bone not is it bone knife or bone
- 1:11:05sword is bone sword from the line is the other sort of weapon
- 1:11:08he gets again, really like just picked it up in a real feral
- 1:11:12sort of weapon to get stuck into people with.
- 1:11:16Excellent. Yeah, again an awesome one and
- 1:11:21definitely one. I think firstly as a custom
- 1:11:25would be awesome and secondly as a figure it would be amazing it.
- 1:11:31Would certainly stand out. Yeah, all those colors.
- 1:11:35Also scholars, yeah, a lot of paint taps, yeah, didn't limit
- 1:11:38the paint taps here need to make.
- 1:11:39We've discussed. Previously haven't we that you
- 1:11:41know, I don't think about sort of stuff, it's like just paint
- 1:11:44different colors. Yeah, I'll have to ring the
- 1:11:47factory and negotiate a discount on the paint job for this guy.
- 1:11:51Yeah. With the factory beers, is that
- 1:11:52that beeping lizard guy again? Frankenstein's what?
- 1:11:58But that doesn't look anything like him.
- 1:12:00Yeah, well, you know, we're trying to save some money here.
- 1:12:04Jack Frost is my next one. So this was a cool picture I
- 1:12:09found of a great thank you, Jack Frost.
- 1:12:13It's actually, if you look up Jack Frost and Wikipedia, this
- 1:12:16is the picture you see. So yeah, nearly tempted to add
- 1:12:21the horse in that he's on here The way I do Jack Frost I think
- 1:12:27would be basically a big frosty cloak.
- 1:12:31So do a cloak, but like do it that it looks all frosty and and
- 1:12:36I see cones kind of hanging from it and use the Santa head from
- 1:12:42Santa. One of those heads, maybe the
- 1:12:44head with the shorter beard and a big icy stick.
- 1:12:48So that probably need to be newly tooled and some ice
- 1:12:52effects. So might have to push the boat
- 1:12:55out and see. Can we get some more translucent
- 1:12:58parts for Mal to lose his his head over and use the reuse the
- 1:13:06Krampus sticks again. I think I've used them already,
- 1:13:08but this time kind of just totally frozen, maybe even
- 1:13:11translucent. Why not?
- 1:13:13And even the tree that came with Santa, you could have a frozen
- 1:13:17version of that. And then yeah, under the big,
- 1:13:22the whole thing would be the big frosty cloak.
- 1:13:24So the body underneath, I don't know, maybe 2.0 build as well
- 1:13:28like Santa. But I think even a even a 1.0,
- 1:13:33if you build the cloak big enough, you know that head still
- 1:13:36works from the Santa build. So that's kind of the most easy
- 1:13:43way he could do, but you could go completely bonkers on him,
- 1:13:49you know? What do you think?
- 1:13:51Yeah, sounds cool. Cool.
- 1:13:55You know the sick of translucent parts so.
- 1:13:57Yeah. So yeah, I really, despite not
- 1:14:01being a fan of translucent parts for Jack Frost, I think you'd
- 1:14:04have to, you'd have to kind of go for it, wouldn't you?
- 1:14:10Yeah. Oh, yeah, This is this.
- 1:14:12I'm in the process of, as I always have, my customs, but
- 1:14:16putting together my own direct Jack Ross.
- 1:14:18He looks very different to this one.
- 1:14:21Oh, right, is it? It was a lot of the animated
- 1:14:23kind of. It's mine's more of a demonic
- 1:14:26sort of character. Got you.
- 1:14:28So yeah, you. Yeah.
- 1:14:30When you see it, you'll know. So yeah, there's different
- 1:14:33legions come in the road to Christmas then.
- 1:14:34Yeah, my Christmas faction will be appearing.
- 1:14:37Cool, right? So let's move on to your last
- 1:14:40one, man, and then you can relax those vocal chords.
- 1:14:44Sinbad the Sailor, One version of him, but there was lots of
- 1:14:50different ones. There is, there is.
- 1:14:52It was. It's quite hard not to get to
- 1:14:54Umm and cliche is not the right word, but caricature of that of
- 1:15:02a time and ever, you know, a style.
- 1:15:05So I tried not to. Obviously new head needed very
- 1:15:11similar to what we see there. We need to, I'm not, I want to
- 1:15:15call it a turban, but I don't think it is actually a turban,
- 1:15:17is it? But it's, it's that style of
- 1:15:19head. Yeah.
- 1:15:21It looks like one, but it's not Mal.
- 1:15:22I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah, and beard and then
- 1:15:26mustache and that sort of thing. And with a knee, obviously
- 1:15:28you've always got the pirate earring sort of thing going on.
- 1:15:33I'd actually give him a bare torso again, barbarian torso.
- 1:15:36It's getting a lot of use in my. Yeah, we need to negotiate a
- 1:15:41discount on all the Barbarians. You.
- 1:15:44Know bare arms again, he gets the cloth wrap wrists because
- 1:15:48they just look cool and they sort of substitute for not
- 1:15:52having a lot or not having armor kind of wrists could go the bare
- 1:15:57completely bare ones perhaps actually, yeah, let's do that
- 1:16:00let's swap it up. He's going to have Anubis his
- 1:16:03arms then completely Anubis his arms and hands and could even
- 1:16:09stick with the little bracelets that that you've got on them
- 1:16:16round his waist. I'd have the cloth bit that came
- 1:16:20with the red death to act as that sort of sash again with the
- 1:16:24bit the loin piece as well looks a bit tattered but I think
- 1:16:28that's fine. It looks quite cool.
- 1:16:31Cloth upper legs, Anubis lower legs, and then I've given him
- 1:16:36the Monkey King boots, so he's sort of got bare lower leg and
- 1:16:41then the Monkey King boot as a shoe.
- 1:16:45Seeing that image there, maybe actually you could do the pirate
- 1:16:51upper, pirate boot, lower leg and the Monkey King shoe too.
- 1:16:57So you've got that slight point on the end.
- 1:17:00Yeah, either way. Oh.
- 1:17:01Yeah, the yeah, the Monkey King, Yeah.
- 1:17:03It's not quite right, but I think it'd work.
- 1:17:08And then some sort of, I'd actually have cloth goods that
- 1:17:11was actually some sort of loose shirt piece because that just
- 1:17:17felt the best way to give him that top.
- 1:17:19Because it's quite often either a a waist coat or a loose shirt
- 1:17:23or a you know, and you could have it slightly wrapped cross
- 1:17:27then as well and tucked in or whatever.
- 1:17:29However, and as ginormously huge and silly as it would look, he's
- 1:17:36got to have callousy scimitar, hasn't he?
- 1:17:40Yeah, Oh yeah. And maybe the little knife as
- 1:17:45well that comes with, it's probably going to be the same
- 1:17:48one that could, oh, and module. It could be any one of the older
- 1:17:50knives, couldn't it? That come with the figures that
- 1:17:52have got that slight curve to the blade.
- 1:17:55They don't work. They're very east and in there,
- 1:17:59sort of look Arabian even. Yeah.
- 1:18:03Absolutely. I love that.
- 1:18:05Yeah, he's awesome. What about the Italian?
- 1:18:07Goods top as well. My last just quintessential
- 1:18:11Sinbad. You got to have that.
- 1:18:12Yeah, it's got that loose look, hasn't it?
- 1:18:14It's yeah. John the gerbils out.
- 1:18:18I apologize if he starts drinking.
- 1:18:19I'll meet myself. OK, yeah, run, waffle.
- 1:18:22Run or don't. Well, Rich.
- 1:18:27You've got this one to get through.
- 1:18:29I love this. Picture.
- 1:18:32So he's like he's taking a piss now.
- 1:18:34There we go. OK.
- 1:18:36So and the and the blue ox. The Babes, the Blue Hawks.
- 1:18:41This is a character I'd never heard of until I went to
- 1:18:43California a few many years ago. And we went to a place called
- 1:18:47the Trees of Mystery, which is like a park full of giant
- 1:18:51redwoods and this sort of stuff up in Northern California, which
- 1:18:54sounds like, oh, and all you got all these signs going, there's
- 1:18:57this big growth on a tree. Who knows what it is?
- 1:18:59It's a mystery. And then you go to one of the
- 1:19:02national parks 2 minutes down the road.
- 1:19:03And again, this growth is a blah, blah, blah.
- 1:19:04And it's like, OK, it's a natural mystery.
- 1:19:07But they had they had a giant talking Paul Bunyan statue and
- 1:19:11Babe the Blue Ox outside the entrance to this place.
- 1:19:14So I've. Seen that picture as well in the
- 1:19:16Google search. Yeah, I just thought that was a
- 1:19:18bit too off the wall. Yeah.
- 1:19:20So that stuck with me. Hence.
- 1:19:22Hence when I saw he was a a right, you know, whatever you
- 1:19:25call it, no right character, then yeah, it's got to go for
- 1:19:28that. So.
- 1:19:30Tell us, tell us about him. Like what is?
- 1:19:33Yes, because he looks like he looks like a lumberjack here
- 1:19:35with the blue girl. I'm sorry John, he's in the
- 1:19:38order of ether on Paul. Bunyan and his Big Blue ox Babe
- 1:19:43are famed in ethos for their pleasant nature and astounding
- 1:19:46feats of strength. An unusual sight this far South.
- 1:19:49Paul is 1/2 giant. Having grown bored of the cold
- 1:19:52up north, he traveled S for warmer climes.
- 1:19:56On his way he met a blue ox who he adopted and called Babe.
- 1:19:59Together these two travel around helping farmers by single
- 1:20:02handedly carrying houses to higher ground in floods or
- 1:20:05building walls out of giant boulders when called upon.
- 1:20:08In times of great need though, Paul and Babe are a ferocious
- 1:20:11sights on the battlefield, mowing down hordes of enemies
- 1:20:14with Babe's horns and Paul's mighty tree felling ax.
- 1:20:21Excellent. So half giant.
- 1:20:23That's very interesting. Yes, yeah, I wanted him to be in
- 1:20:28the in the stories he's meant to be like enormous sort of thing.
- 1:20:31So I thought Half Giant would be a good one for this.
- 1:20:35We start off with Babe, it's a slight cheat but I'd use a horse
- 1:20:39buck and then just sculpt an ox head and put it on.
- 1:20:43I think just about get away with that.
- 1:20:44You might need to do something with a tail, obviously, but
- 1:20:46generally? You get away with that.
- 1:20:51They don't have massively thick legs and obviously painted blue,
- 1:20:54which would look weird, but you know, this is the color that he
- 1:20:57is in the story. I'd want a new head for Paul as
- 1:21:02well. And like we discussed through
- 1:21:04the day, John, I'd want him to come with a 5:00 shadow.
- 1:21:06I know he's got a beard in this picture, but I want to a
- 1:21:09lumberjack's 5:00 shadow. He's been busy chopping wood,
- 1:21:11doesn't have time for shame. He's got to go out and chop down
- 1:21:13to the tree. Oh dear, I've got four new
- 1:21:18parts. Damn it.
- 1:21:20The last one on the proper. Sorry.
- 1:21:23Yeah. Next new part is an ogre scaled
- 1:21:27Plaid shirt torso. So it's like made of leather,
- 1:21:31but it's got the sort of grooves in it that make it look like
- 1:21:33it's a played shirt sort of thing.
- 1:21:36Yeah, that'd be painted red and blue.
- 1:21:40It's red and black in this picture, but red and blue for
- 1:21:42the colors. I'd resize the cloth arms and
- 1:21:45legs to ogre scale so you can use them for this guy.
- 1:21:47The arms would be red and the legs would be blue.
- 1:21:51You'd have bare hands, so from the half giant builder and the
- 1:21:55spiky ogre scale boots again that the half giant builder has.
- 1:21:59And then the last new bit would be a new weapon.
- 1:22:01So I'd need a some sort of, not intricate necessarily, but
- 1:22:06brutal looking two sided axe head that you can put on top of
- 1:22:09the ogre, you know, weapon shaft they've got now.
- 1:22:11So you just slot it on top of that and there's just this giant
- 1:22:14axe that you can fell trees with or side, you know, slice your
- 1:22:18way through hordes of undead or Wizards or whatever sort of
- 1:22:22thing. So yeah.
- 1:22:24Very cool. Yeah, that is a definitely a
- 1:22:28weird one, but I don't think we'll ever get a figure of him
- 1:22:31somehow. No, no, I can't see this
- 1:22:33happening, but there you go. Yeah, very cool nonetheless.
- 1:22:36A blue cow or blue ox? Sorry.
- 1:22:39Called Babe as well, just like you know.
- 1:22:42Yeah, not just as blue. It's got their name as a pig.
- 1:22:44I thought it was a pig. Yeah right, my last one, a
- 1:22:48little bit of a cheat. So I'm going to do a King Arthur
- 1:22:52and Merlin the Wizard 2 back because why not?
- 1:22:56And so King Arthur is going to be fairly straightforward and
- 1:23:02but I'd like a new sword, maybe something a little bit more King
- 1:23:07Arthur looking. There is probably swords in the
- 1:23:12in the library that you could use.
- 1:23:13So you could save on that. But I think it would be special
- 1:23:16if you're to do King Arthur to have a very specific sword or
- 1:23:19even just sword handle a staff. So reuse one of the Staffs crown
- 1:23:28on the head. So definitely need a crown.
- 1:23:31We have a crown from King Brandon already.
- 1:23:34I don't know if that one would work or if we'd need to do a new
- 1:23:37one. I definitely need new head
- 1:23:40sculpt for him though. And then do you do unhelmeted
- 1:23:46one? Maybe a faceplate for the like
- 1:23:49the Sir Elijah type chainmail head like you see in this
- 1:23:53example picture as well. And then a third helmet, which
- 1:23:58maybe would be the the Knight helmet, the more kind of rounded
- 1:24:03one that I think it comes with the Silver Knight Legion
- 1:24:05builder, and it may be the alternate head that came with
- 1:24:10the Gold Knight too. Yeah, and it comes with the.
- 1:24:13Rounded. Yeah, Red SHIELD soldier as
- 1:24:15well. Yeah, I think that one would be
- 1:24:18probably the most the closest to Knight Africa in accuracy to to
- 1:24:24the type from the time and soft goods with heraldry on them.
- 1:24:28So that's what I'd be looking for here.
- 1:24:33So you see in this one, I think more just, you know, the torso
- 1:24:38like the the Sir Elijah or the Adleric.
- 1:24:43So maybe more fitted like that, but with the King Arthur
- 1:24:47heraldry and then a cloak, I suppose red, red cloak like this
- 1:24:52picture here and over the valley at night build.
- 1:24:55I think is is perfectly fine. You don't need to go invent new
- 1:24:59Knights parts or something like this.
- 1:25:02And then Merlin, the wizard in the two pack.
- 1:25:05So there's kind of a picture of a standard wizard.
- 1:25:09We have Wizards in the line already.
- 1:25:11What I'd the way I'd like to go with the Merlin is so real
- 1:25:18scraggly old man head sculpt. So a little bit more so I'd like
- 1:25:23hair and a beard and I'd like him to be, you know, the hair
- 1:25:27not to be kind of perfectly like if you see in this example
- 1:25:30picture that we have here, but more just kind of really like on
- 1:25:33Kempton on washed and maybe matted a bit a bit like.
- 1:25:36Brown That'd be cool. Yeah, that kind of, you know,
- 1:25:41really unhinged and really old kind of craggy, like almost like
- 1:25:45he's, he's a little bit almost towards the undead and on a
- 1:25:51goblin body with the and the main part of it then is soft
- 1:25:54goods. So you could go crazy with soft
- 1:25:56goods, but again, old and tattered and tattered and worn
- 1:26:00and, you know, paint on the bottom of the cloak that makes
- 1:26:03it look dirty and kind of tattered.
- 1:26:06So that'd be my Merlin. And then, yeah, give him a staff
- 1:26:10or whatever. Wooden staff, Yeah.
- 1:26:13So you could obviously add more parts, but I think that's the
- 1:26:19kind of style I'd like to go with him.
- 1:26:21Yeah, that'd be cool to you back.
- 1:26:23Yeah. King Arthur, Yeah.
- 1:26:26I mean, we, we can, you know, you, we have lots of Knights in
- 1:26:29the night. So you could of course make a
- 1:26:31King Arthur or whatever. But I think it would be very
- 1:26:33cool to get it in in its own box and, you know, actually called
- 1:26:39King Arthur that would be. Pretty, yeah.
- 1:26:40Imagine Nate Arch is going to town on the box art with
- 1:26:43something like that. And of course, maybe you'd get a
- 1:26:46what? A round table accessory.
- 1:26:49Oh yeah, that'd be so cool. Yeah, and then you could sit all
- 1:26:52your nights, you know. Then you just need what would
- 1:26:54you need? Little stools.
- 1:26:56So sure, get 3D printed little stools to go around the Round
- 1:27:01table. Happy days.
- 1:27:03Or maybe they give you 1 stool and then you need 10.
- 1:27:06Was it? And how many of the Knights of
- 1:27:07the Round Table were there? Oh.
- 1:27:11Oh, don't I? OK, that's, that's embarrassing
- 1:27:14for us. Umm, But yeah, then you'd need
- 1:27:16to buy the number of King Arthurs that were the number of
- 1:27:19Knights at the round table. I'm sure Rich is going to check
- 1:27:22it for us right there. I'm doing live how?
- 1:27:26You doing it? Right.
- 1:27:27Umm, but yeah, I think that's all the characters we have.
- 1:27:30So that was that was a fun way to get through a kind of a
- 1:27:34quieter allegiance week and but a little bit.
- 1:27:38I really enjoyed. Building yeah, fun little way of
- 1:27:41like. Imagination run wild within.
- 1:27:44Parameters and people love Rich's BIOS, so they got five of
- 1:27:49them there, so that was pretty awesome.
- 1:27:51Yeah, and that depending on the King Arthur story, there's
- 1:27:55between 12 and 150 Knights the round time.
- 1:27:58It's one big table. It's.
- 1:28:00A big table. It's a very big table. 100 and.
- 1:28:0250 That's a good business tactic, you know, right?
- 1:28:05The 150 Knights of their own table.
- 1:28:08Jeremy will do that. All right, boys, Well, we'll be
- 1:28:16back next week. Who knows what we'll be talking
- 1:28:17about, but we'll be back talking about something.
- 1:28:20Maybe there'll be some more news.
- 1:28:22We know there's cons and stuff coming up the following weekend
- 1:28:26to this one that we talked about in the last week's episode.
- 1:28:29So if you haven't, go back and listen.
- 1:28:31Start of that one very good and I'll get well soon.
- 1:28:36Yeah, definitely get well soon. And yeah, look after yourself.
- 1:28:43Stay safe out there everybody, don't get attacked by cats in
- 1:28:46your own home.
