• 0:02
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:04
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:08
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
• 0:11
  fake hammer. Oh.
• 0:13
  A fake? Yeah.
• 0:14
  Whoa. As I say, Dick.
• 0:17
  Welcome to episode 143 of the Religious Podcast.
• 0:22
  John Caulfield here as usual with Rich Jones, Mal Kennedy
• 0:27
  Rich. Looking for even more fish?
• 0:30
  You can never have too many fishmen.
• 0:32
  Ever. I don't know uh, let's get into
• 0:35
  it, but we'll see it's this week we are discussing the big wave
• 0:38
  that's up for pre-order at the moment, the dawns of discovery.
• 0:41
  So the G Con wave and that's up on pre-order until the 28th of
• 0:47
  December, at which stage the direct period with the horsemen
• 0:50
  will close and then it'll go over to the retailers, which is
• 0:53
  also valid way to pre-order. And uh, I think to guarantee
• 0:58
  your pre-orders with the retailers, you probably need to
• 1:00
  get them in, in January at some stage and they could still be
• 1:03
  available after that, but it would be more.
• 1:06
  You think it's going to be popular?
• 1:10
  Yeah, as as somebody who missed out on the reign of the beasts
• 1:15
  all in his local retailer, then I can confirm.
• 1:17
  Don't mess around. Get in there.
• 1:19
  Yeah, get in there. And then, yeah, so, but
• 1:23
  obviously at slightly higher prices with the retailer and we
• 1:26
  won't go into the pricing and stuff tonight.
• 1:28
  We're just going to talk about the goodness of the figures.
• 1:33
  And then at the end, we're going to talk about the Allegiance Con
• 1:36
  exclusives, the various figures that were exclusive Allegiance
• 1:39
  Con and our little in hand impressions.
• 1:41
  Just a brief go through of those guys and some news that there's
• 1:46
  been as well. So all sounds good and.
• 1:50
  You realise, boys, the last few weeks I've been looking at
• 1:52
  myself in the camera thinking, God, my camera's not really look
• 1:55
  a bit pale and washed out. Not sure.
• 1:56
  I'm just got very white beard. It's just me.
• 2:00
  It's just making me look pale. It's just like, Oh my God.
• 2:04
  I watched Bad Santa the other day so maybe you're just that's
• 2:07
  what you're doing in your in your off time, is it?
• 2:10
  Maybe I've not seen Bad Santa, but I can highly recommend
• 2:13
  Violent Night. That's right, you.
• 2:14
  Haven't seen bad Santa. I've not.
• 2:16
  Oh. My God, it's a classic.
• 2:19
  I listen to the UMM. That's why I watched that.
• 2:24
  You can't. It's not available than to rent
• 2:26
  though on the UMM. Yeah, I found it.
• 2:28
  I found it. I won't say how.
• 2:30
  No, who not. Someone so I couldn't find the
• 2:35
  director's cut, which apparently is better, but.
• 2:37
  Yeah, I mean the. Normal 1 is I don't think I'm a
• 2:41
  big enough movie nerd to to really know the difference
• 2:45
  between these things, you know, because I think the director's
• 2:48
  cut is is not much longer. It's more just slightly
• 2:52
  rearranged, bedded or whatever. But anyway, yeah, so rich is bad
• 2:56
  Santa. Umm, yeah, go watch that film,
• 2:58
  Rich, and then you'll you'll definitely maybe not laugh as
• 3:01
  much about. Yeah, I I can, I can safely say
• 3:04
  if I was a Santa in a shop, I'd be terrible kids, be like
• 3:07
  literally little and grateful shit.
• 3:09
  Oh, that's there you go. You you fully.
• 3:10
  Qualified for Bad Santa then, because that's what he does
• 3:13
  pretty much. Would you have to be drunk and
• 3:17
  piss yourself and all that kind of stuff.
• 3:18
  So. I try to avoid that if.
• 3:20
  I can, yeah. Yeah.
• 3:21
  That's not really, no. It's not really the pissing
• 3:23
  yourself best, at least, yeah. Whereas we're in Violent Night,
• 3:27
  he is actually Santa, but he's also a drunk.
• 3:32
  He's disillusioned, drunk Santa. It's.
• 3:34
  Really good. I watched it last year on your
• 3:36
  recommendation and it is really good.
• 3:38
  Yeah, definitely. And yeah, so Dawns of Discovery,
• 3:45
  let me see if I can bring them up here.
• 3:50
  We're going to start with Vita's Prime and what you're all here
• 3:56
  for in the 1st place. Mal is going to read the BIOS.
• 4:00
  Shall I, Shall we start with that then?
• 4:02
  Yeah, absolutely. Having seen the Mercurian army
• 4:06
  fall in the early days of his career, Vitus refused to follow
• 4:10
  to allow the same thing to happen to Leander's forces
• 4:13
  during the Second Great War. Recognising the important role
• 4:17
  he played in defeating the legions of Dark, Vitus was
• 4:20
  granted the title of Strategist Prime, the highest military rank
• 4:25
  in Leander's army. The Mercurian accepted this on a
• 4:28
  somewhat reluctantly, believing that the his the days of
• 4:32
  fighting were behind him. Eventually stepping down from
• 4:36
  his formal post with Leander's army, Foetus roamed the realm
• 4:39
  for years looking for a new purpose.
• 4:42
  He found it with the arrival of the strangers to the shores of
• 4:46
  Mythos. Returning to the Fortress of the
• 4:48
  Gilded Lion, he asked to be sent on the voyage to explore new
• 4:52
  lands as an emissary from the Legions of Light.
• 4:55
  Vitus was granted his request and soon found himself aboard
• 4:59
  the Oceans Law as they headed for distant shores and unknown
• 5:03
  dangers. Very interesting, so updated bio
• 5:09
  for him. Obviously an updated head as
• 5:12
  well. We have the Mercurian head, but
• 5:16
  also an unhelmeted head. And as you can see in, I can't
• 5:25
  really see there, but it's actually a thing that goes over
• 5:28
  the head. It's not a full head.
• 5:29
  I think it's a helmet. Yeah, it's just a helmet.
• 5:33
  Yeah. So I think you take the hair off
• 5:34
  it goes. You take the hair off and you
• 5:35
  pop the helmet. On great great little feature
• 5:38
  there. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:39
  Or if you want to use it just as a full helmet, then the little
• 5:42
  black thing next to it in the picture is an insert that goes
• 5:44
  into the helmet. That's cool.
• 5:47
  I think I'm probably going to have you posed with it tucked
• 5:49
  under his arm because you can do that.
• 5:52
  What little black thing? No helmet, just little black
• 5:57
  thing. The suggestion of helmet.
• 6:02
  Is invisible. Helmet so this was a surprise to
• 6:08
  me this figure, yes, being in the wave, but wow, pretty cool
• 6:14
  upgrade and I wouldn't have seen him come in legacies as such,
• 6:21
  but why not? And especially when you can kind
• 6:26
  of put the story in this way. You give them the transformer
• 6:30
  name theatres Prime, so you know.
• 6:34
  You can transform them with the sandals so you know.
• 6:38
  This is this route gives them more to do, give them more
• 6:41
  options, doesn't it? Basically, yeah.
• 6:43
  You know, later on in life with scars and all this sort of
• 6:46
  stuff, rather than just a reimagining of the original.
• 6:48
  I really, I actually really like that.
• 6:50
  That's what they're doing with a bunch of them is it's not, you
• 6:53
  know, it's not the same. It's the same character but at a
• 6:57
  different stage of their life. And it gives a reason for
• 7:01
  redesign, doesn't it? A little bit.
• 7:03
  And I mean, this is fantastic, isn't it?
• 7:07
  Yeah. I mean it absolutely blows the
• 7:09
  original figure out the water. Yeah, it actually.
• 7:12
  Does. It's quite an old figure, so of
• 7:14
  course, but I mean. Yeah, but you've got you've got
• 7:18
  soft goods on them now. You've got a bunch of swords, a
• 7:23
  scabbard, one of the big scabbards, a bed roll, sleeping
• 7:28
  bag for us. What's?
• 7:29
  The best bit? And obviously the multitude of
• 7:32
  belts now that you get with with most of these type of figures,
• 7:37
  the new shield holder. Really can't wait to get a
• 7:41
  figure with that. I really like that idea.
• 7:45
  Yeah, it should give you additional ways to pose it and
• 7:51
  you know, because sometimes it can be a bit limiting if you
• 7:53
  just have the the handle, you know, and 3.0 body here.
• 8:00
  So with the all the all the new articulation, that doesn't take
• 8:05
  away anything for you, Rich. I'm not a huge fan of the I
• 8:09
  think. I think when we saw the 3.0 with
• 8:13
  Windaggi last year it was fine because it was furry, but I'm
• 8:17
  not convinced about it on humans I have to admit.
• 8:20
  I mean, yes, as this picture shows, you can cover up one of
• 8:22
  the arms of the shield. Yeah, but it's.
• 8:24
  Still that weird looking other thing.
• 8:28
  I have to say my, my, my personal take was I wasn't sure
• 8:33
  either, and it is a bit of I'll wait until we get it to know
• 8:35
  100%. But at intern I did have a
• 8:38
  little look at like the test print or whatever.
• 8:41
  You know, it's like one of the factory prints.
• 8:44
  They've been sent back in the white plastic or whatever.
• 8:46
  I don't know exactly, but how that's described and it looked
• 8:51
  all right, I've got to say it still, it still had that size
• 8:57
  and shape that made it feel like it was a mythic figure.
• 9:00
  And the arm, the joint didn't look too bad.
• 9:03
  It was of the the golden. Is it golden lions or whatever
• 9:06
  the. Golden pride of Leando.
• 9:08
  Yeah, yeah, it was that one. Yeah.
• 9:11
  Umm. And yeah, I mean, it looks like
• 9:14
  it could be all right. It could be good.
• 9:16
  But yeah. Yeah and eh, so a bit of soft
• 9:21
  good skirt piece on here as well.
• 9:23
  I mean underneath the kind of belt piece, I guess you need it.
• 9:28
  Umm, you wouldn't wouldn't really work without it.
• 9:31
  So I'm never 100% on those. I would say I do like the skirt
• 9:38
  pieces to be plastic, but it kind of you kind of.
• 9:45
  You're the opposite. Yeah, I'm liking the use of the
• 9:48
  the fabric, the extra bits of fabric in the cloth, then in
• 9:52
  capes and in in the skirt pieces.
• 9:55
  I think we like the dollar colour red with the soft goods.
• 9:59
  Yeah. It's a bit too bright for me.
• 10:01
  Maybe matching more or closer in tone to the armour maybe.
• 10:05
  Maybe, yeah. Yeah.
• 10:08
  I could say that, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 10:11
  And Richie sandals or boots. Sandals.
• 10:15
  Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
• 10:17
  When he's got that gladiatorial look to him, he needs to be
• 10:20
  wearing sandals. Yeah.
• 10:24
  Well, and looking at that picture as well, these boots
• 10:26
  look more like they are they, well, not really boots.
• 10:30
  They're a metal plate in the front.
• 10:31
  The looks of things, If you look at the picture on our right as
• 10:35
  we look at it now, you see that back leg.
• 10:40
  Yeah, Yeah. So yeah.
• 10:42
  Oh, yeah, yeah. Catchy.
• 10:44
  Yeah, it's it's kind of strapped around the yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 10:49
  yeah, yeah the sandals look they do look cool yeah and fits to
• 10:54
  look better than gives them more of a Roman value Yeah,
• 10:57
  definitely. OK, that's Vitas.
• 11:00
  So as we're. Talking about Vitas, can I take
• 11:04
  this opportunity once again? I explained this in person to
• 11:08
  him at Legions Combo. Once again, Eric, I know I said
• 11:11
  this was my least favourite figure, Harry Miller.
• 11:13
  Now you painted it, but you did a brilliant job painting it.
• 11:16
  It's just my least favourite out of the way, so I'll just
• 11:19
  emphasise that once more. When you say least favourite,
• 11:22
  it's not the Paint app is it? It's the.
• 11:24
  It's not character and the style.
• 11:27
  Yeah. Yeah, it's not Fishman.
• 11:31
  Yeah, I thought I'd broken Eric at one point at Legion's
• 11:33
  conference. So yeah, just once.
• 11:36
  Once again, fabulous paint job. It's the character.
• 11:41
  Yeah, Eric, Eric is just, he's, he's a sensitive chap, you know,
• 11:45
  he's an artist. He's an artist.
• 11:47
  Exactly. Umm, but I'm sure he knows it
• 11:51
  comes from the right place. Yeah.
• 11:54
  And there's some of Trevor's amazing pics here.
• 11:57
  That one in the calendar next year.
• 11:59
  Little bit of he man vibes from the head.
• 12:02
  Yeah, A. Little bit, yeah.
• 12:04
  Did you hear Trevor talking about the Dio on on the Legions
• 12:07
  Lounge? Oh no.
• 12:09
  He was saying, he was saying he had to Commission a boat to be
• 12:12
  made. And this guy turned it around
• 12:14
  really, really quick. I was like, all I've done more
• 12:17
  was staining and that driver was like, I just need the boat.
• 12:18
  I just need the boat. Give me the boat.
• 12:22
  That's a cool dio to have. It is great, isn't it?
• 12:25
  Yeah. Wow, excellent.
• 12:30
  What we need for an extra table? Maybe.
• 12:35
  Maybe a round table? Who knows?
• 12:37
  Oh. The guy cool.
• 12:40
  I'm not sure that clue is actually anything to do with the
• 12:44
  figures. I'm not so sure either.
• 12:47
  If it is, it's. Yeah, it's more.
• 12:50
  It's going back. Again, isn't it?
• 12:52
  Yeah, yeah. Maybe the horsemen are buying
• 12:54
  their own table for shooting the shelf.
• 12:56
  So that's what he's No one can take this table.
• 12:59
  We bought you one. Yeah, actually that, that that's
• 13:04
  something yet. So.
• 13:05
  And another action pick here with the helmet, you can see a
• 13:08
  little bit, eh, the helmet there, you can see the eyes
• 13:10
  poking out. So yeah, so cool.
• 13:14
  So a full new sculpt on that Mercurian helmet, even if it's
• 13:17
  the same, eh, basic design that they had, you know, not not
• 13:21
  basic as in simple, but you know, the same design basically
• 13:24
  as it. Yeah, it's got the the slash
• 13:27
  through it as well, hasn't it? Which is very cool.
• 13:30
  Yeah, battle damage. They're they don't always do
• 13:33
  battle damage, so no. So yeah.
• 13:36
  It's the character more. So on the more so on the evil
• 13:38
  armour, they don't do it that much.
• 13:40
  On the good armour, you know there is chips and dents in the
• 13:43
  in like the orc armour and the stuff like that.
• 13:45
  Definitely. You get a feeling most of the
• 13:47
  good guys, but I know I want some fancy armour again.
• 13:49
  I need to get it repaired and beat us is just like nap I'll
• 13:52
  they. Yeah, it seems.
• 13:53
  On my best role started. He seems, he seems a bit of a
• 13:57
  tortured soul, doesn't he, old Vita?
• 13:59
  So yeah, if it works for him. Makes him feel very human, you
• 14:04
  know? Yeah, yeah, in a way, right.
• 14:07
  We have a siren open Opal scale here, so.
• 14:12
  And very good. Trigger Snaky Mermaidy and let's
• 14:18
  have her bio so we can kind of put in context.
• 14:23
  The chief Engineer of the Ocean's Law, Siren Opal Scales
• 14:27
  job is to keep the ship in top condition at all times.
• 14:31
  As a member of the Merfolk species, she is uniquely
• 14:34
  equipped for this role, being able to transform her body to
• 14:37
  exist either below the waves or above them.
• 14:40
  This allows her to inspect every inch of the Ocean's Law to
• 14:44
  ensure it is ready for its next voyage.
• 14:47
  Unwaveringly loyal to the Fishers Guild, Siren Opal scale
• 14:51
  just her duty and welcomes the guests from new Mythos aboard.
• 14:55
  But she makes no secret of as a reservations on the matter of
• 14:58
  her feelings that the Guild is entering dangerous waters by
• 15:02
  aligning themselves with these strangers from a strange land.
• 15:08
  Pretty cool engineers. So you know she actually has a
• 15:14
  function on the ship? Interesting.
• 15:17
  Seems like you have to use the legs then rich.
• 15:19
  Unless you have her in the fish tank, you.
• 15:24
  Can do all sorts of wonderful things.
• 15:26
  You gel now, John, as you can put her on that.
• 15:29
  But it's fair to. I'll be getting a couple.
• 15:31
  So one's a more person and one there.
• 15:32
  Yeah, there's a female snake character there, definitely.
• 15:36
  Yeah, yeah, you're basically getting a full Traxi and Scout
• 15:40
  female build here as well. Yeah, maybe looking forward to
• 15:47
  wave Oxcrew 3. Maybe these could be used to.
• 15:53
  Not that we should hijack this chat cosmic, but yeah, why not
• 15:58
  look as where these parts might crop up again.
• 16:01
  I think with this character, I think when because she uses the
• 16:03
  same body as the the snakes, obviously from the last way with
• 16:06
  the snakes, you'll happily have them posed like that.
• 16:09
  I think you know with rearing. Yeah.
• 16:13
  You know, with the the snake body and posed up, whereas with
• 16:16
  this one, I think you'd have to get some sort of holder or stand
• 16:19
  so that you can have the body like a tail spread out sort of
• 16:22
  things. Get that?
• 16:23
  She's floating in the ward. Yeah, to get that sort of
• 16:26
  effect. Or even just, you know, if you
• 16:29
  make some sort of a craggy rock die or pick one up, you know,
• 16:34
  you could have her just kind of in craggy rock.
• 16:36
  That'd be quite cool sitting, sort of.
• 16:38
  You can see you're turning into Daryl Hannah from Splash, no.
• 16:44
  We could put Junior, the crushers upper body on her.
• 16:48
  There you go. So you get a good view here of
• 16:53
  those tail pieces. So it's really a lot of tooling
• 16:58
  here. Yeah, and the translucent.
• 17:03
  Yeah, and that right up my street.
• 17:07
  Yeah, we, we actually have a little sneak preview, like we
• 17:12
  have an actual in hand with Coy of how this may look, because
• 17:16
  Coy is, is kind of like that. So we can see this we we have an
• 17:22
  idea what it, you know, what it kind of feels like and how it
• 17:24
  works. Very nice.
• 17:29
  And there's a view of her in the with the with the legs.
• 17:36
  So you had, I mean that could you know, different head that
• 17:38
  could be a female direction almost.
• 17:41
  Yeah, well, even you do something with like that mask
• 17:45
  and put it on to another head or something so you get the vibe.
• 17:48
  But yeah, absolutely. So I mean this is so much new
• 17:52
  tooling. I know the the front piece of
• 17:55
  the skirt there is from the like IS and those those grey Bourns
• 18:02
  and maybe the shoulder pauldrons as well.
• 18:04
  At least, you know, I think he had a single one.
• 18:06
  So maybe this is the the double and the rest is I can't see much
• 18:12
  else. Maybe the you know the wrist
• 18:13
  straps, they're new as well for a female.
• 18:15
  Yeah, well, the tail is the same as the snake.
• 18:18
  Oh yeah. That's the the extra bits to
• 18:21
  turn it into a Murphy Kevin. Yeah.
• 18:24
  Yeah, yeah. That's this straight down piece
• 18:27
  here. Yeah, on the left.
• 18:31
  So yeah, yeah, of course they're not new in that yeah we.
• 18:35
  But they're still new to us because we haven't got them yet.
• 18:37
  So yeah, cool weapons and very organic weapons and.
• 18:44
  That one with the the middle bit and the two side bits is just
• 18:47
  brutal looking. A bit like a Trident, isn't it?
• 18:52
  But with with an extra spike? Extra spikes.
• 18:55
  It's just nastier. It's sort of thing once I get
• 18:58
  hold of you ain't going anywhere with that, yeah.
• 19:01
  Do you wonder if that has an actual function on the ship as
• 19:04
  well? Like near perspective.
• 19:09
  Clean the barnacles off the bottom.
• 19:11
  Maybe, Maybe. Yeah, it's underwater.
• 19:13
  There you go. And we got the cool Lantern that
• 19:17
  I think Santa comes with. That or Father Christmas.
• 19:22
  But if you would say Santa had given it for a second, it's like
• 19:25
  I'm pretty sure you'd that didn't happen, but OK.
• 19:30
  I'm not talking to my younger kids a few years ago.
• 19:36
  So she's a winner in your book, Rich.
• 19:39
  Oh, great figure. Yeah.
• 19:40
  I really like her. And the fact that you get the
• 19:42
  legs that you can, you know, do a female snake person, you know,
• 19:46
  an evolved snake person. I mean, just yeah, love her.
• 19:51
  And there's some beautiful Trevor photography here as well.
• 19:56
  The face. I mean really a lot of detail
• 19:58
  there when you see that that picture.
• 20:02
  Yeah, I think I've I've just decided I'm going to ask your
• 20:04
  top three at the end of this now so I can see him.
• 20:06
  I'm breaking miles brain now so. Yeah, our 401-A1B1 with this.
• 20:13
  We can we can do a top three for the show and then we can have a
• 20:16
  spin off episode with Mal. I realise now what I forgot to
• 20:21
  do at the very start was to to tease our next week's show which
• 20:24
  should be the top figures of the year and that people should send
• 20:30
  in or their figures of the year toast.
• 20:34
  But I guess I'll do post for that instead.
• 20:36
  And I mentioned at the end if people listen that far, right,
• 20:40
  let's move on. Ports of Mythos accessory set,
• 20:46
  so weapons pack basically. Yeah, with extras diode pack,
• 20:50
  yes, yeah. Treasure chest which we will get
• 20:54
  with another figure as well and with gold coins so doesn't show
• 20:59
  it here in the picture but you'll see later.
• 21:00
  There's a Love Coins harpoon which is 0.
• 21:09
  There you go. It's which is and then fishing
• 21:15
  Spears. So which is?
• 21:16
  Which is the harpoon? Which is the fishing spear I.
• 21:18
  Guess I think fishing Spears when we were just discussing a
• 21:20
  minute ago. Yeah, yeah, because one next to
• 21:24
  it's definitely looks more like a harpy.
• 21:26
  Isn't it? Yeah.
• 21:29
  Grappling hook would chain a large fish, a smaller fish, and
• 21:36
  a lobster and shark. Jaws.
• 21:39
  Bones. I love those, that's so good.
• 21:44
  I really like the little fish that we get with everything as
• 21:48
  well. It's like the rats, they have a
• 21:50
  cool little collection in themselves.
• 21:51
  Yeah, I mean the. Lobster is blue.
• 21:54
  It's just really cool. I don't know why, but that's
• 21:55
  just really cool as well, yeah. The chest, the fish and lobster,
• 22:01
  and the shark jaws could make me get a good few of these.
• 22:05
  Small fish is the one that's got Koi's head and that they.
• 22:12
  Had slightly bigger versions of in the display, isn't it?
• 22:16
  Yeah, that's cool. I wonder if it's the same sculpt
• 22:19
  shrunk, shrunk down. It's got to be.
• 22:21
  Yeah, it's got to be. Yeah, like you, John, I could
• 22:24
  see myself getting multiples of this and I haven't with any of
• 22:27
  the other IO sets, but this is this is so cool.
• 22:30
  I'm. Considering I love Cosby as much
• 22:33
  as I do the two DIO sets, I want multiples of the one for EIN
• 22:38
  Somalin and this one. Yeah.
• 22:41
  Nearly got the beer. Barrels and the.
• 22:43
  Yeah, that's it. Oh, you could bind the mouse.
• 22:47
  You could have them sit there with their treasure chests open,
• 22:50
  just getting hammered on the beer.
• 22:51
  Like what happens? Briefly celebration.
• 22:53
  Now you got the mermaid on the craggy rock with the treasure
• 22:56
  chest open. That's cool as well.
• 22:59
  Embarrassed, decided to drink in a beer.
• 23:04
  Perfect. And maybe one of those fish on
• 23:07
  the BBQ. That wouldn't be great, but we
• 23:10
  need a BBQ. As a fish keeper, Fisher
• 23:13
  friends, what's wrong with you people?
• 23:15
  Very tasty friends, yes? We need a BBQ or campfire in one
• 23:23
  of the next sets and we do have a campfire, don't we?
• 23:26
  It's coming. Yeah, yeah.
• 23:27
  We just need a little fox. Yeah, isn't it?
• 23:29
  Yeah. So there you go.
• 23:31
  Yeah, just get a little grill, put it on top of that and
• 23:36
  there's a in context in on on the boat that the aforementioned
• 23:42
  boat from Trevor. You can even have your in be OK
• 23:48
  I know it's high in Somalian but it could even be you know why
• 23:50
  not have that shark thing above the Bahari 9 Somalian It's so
• 23:54
  yeah getting little diet or some diet pieces.
• 23:58
  The reason why I can't have ice sharks?
• 24:01
  Exactly. Exactly.
• 24:02
  It's fantasy, isn't it? Exactly.
• 24:06
  Or maybe that was one of their enemies, a big shark guy.
• 24:12
  I'm looking forward to seeing the refreshed one at some point
• 24:14
  then. And then I remember some of our
• 24:18
  American friends of something about the blue lobster and being
• 24:22
  native to somewhere in America. What's the name?
• 24:25
  New Jersey? It was a probably New Jersey
• 24:27
  area or something like that. What's that?
• 24:29
  The blue lob? There was another blue crab,
• 24:32
  which is why blue crab the crab is painted to his.
• 24:36
  Gotcha. If I remember right.
• 24:38
  Didn't that cause an argument though?
• 24:39
  Something else is like, oh it's blue crab where I am as well.
• 24:41
  It's like, just breathe. But we're famous first, right?
• 24:48
  Odo Ben, A popular one. There is Murian harpoon named
• 24:54
  Odo. Ben is the muscle of the
• 24:56
  Undertow's crew, keeping any unruly crew members in line and
• 25:00
  also acting as the first attacker whenever the ship comes
• 25:04
  upon a vessel which Captain Iron School wishes to board.
• 25:07
  As the Undertow slinks out from its hiding spot in the Dead
• 25:10
  Lands to intercept the Ocean's Lure, Odo Ben hurls his harpoon
• 25:15
  at the unsuspecting vessel. Now attached to the Fishers
• 25:19
  Guild ship, The Undertow pulls in close as the Rosmurian Pew
• 25:24
  Brute leads the raiding party that pours onto the deck of the
• 25:28
  lure. Expecting to encounter a
• 25:32
  terrified crew eager to surrender, the Seafarers are
• 25:35
  surprised when they are instead greeted by Mercurian soldier and
• 25:39
  a Templar Knight, leading the Fishers forward to battle.
• 25:46
  There you go. So is he a good guy or a bad
• 25:53
  guy? He's a bad guy.
• 25:56
  Yeah. Which I'd forgotten and makes me
• 25:59
  like him even more. Yeah, he's such a cool looking
• 26:06
  figure. Yeah.
• 26:07
  Yeah, I suppose it makes sense for how he looks.
• 26:13
  You know, good guys don't have a chipped tooth like that.
• 26:16
  They. Well, you can.
• 26:19
  Depends, yeah. He's got raggedy things and
• 26:24
  he's, yeah, it's, it's funny because he's one of those where
• 26:28
  at the time I perhaps didn't appreciate him as well.
• 26:30
  You know, I know everyone's going, oh, he's amazing.
• 26:32
  I was like, he's cool, but he's alright.
• 26:34
  But the more this, you know, preparing for this and looking
• 26:37
  at him like actually he's freaking awesome.
• 26:39
  And I'm not really registered that he was a, he was one of the
• 26:42
  pirates essentially. And that fact just made me go,
• 26:46
  OK, he's a really realised guy now.
• 26:51
  And it's a classic example, I think this guy of all the
• 26:53
  separate little bits, the ornaments and the ropes out that
• 26:57
  work really well together. Sometimes you're like, well,
• 26:59
  they're amazingly sculpted, but you're not going to see him
• 27:01
  because they're on a belt tucked away.
• 27:03
  Whereas this guy is a classy example of how you can really
• 27:06
  use those extra things to make a figure pop.
• 27:10
  Yeah, kind of reminds me a bit like when we got Tarnog with,
• 27:15
  you know, kind of all the stuff on him and you know, he's big
• 27:19
  belt and kind of OK, it's slightly differently done with
• 27:24
  this guy, but it's that same sort of feeling where feel like
• 27:29
  there's been a jump in, in kind of what you get with the figures
• 27:33
  and the stuff. Absolutely.
• 27:36
  And you know, like Taranog, he has these mad looking pauldrons
• 27:41
  as well, probably slightly more practical and less likely to
• 27:46
  weigh him down, these ones, but they just look like little mini
• 27:51
  rafts, almost kind of curved over his shoulders.
• 27:57
  Love we get a love that we get in the Ganesha body again now as
• 28:03
  well. That that it's such a cool body.
• 28:06
  Yeah, he's going to look awesome.
• 28:08
  Yeah, it makes makes total sense to reuse it here.
• 28:11
  And eh, similar to the pauldrons the the wrist gauntlets as well
• 28:15
  are it's kind of wooden things. Do they slip over, I wonder, or?
• 28:20
  They do, yes. If you look at the first
• 28:22
  picture, he's not got them on. Got you.
• 28:25
  Oh yeah. Get a view there.
• 28:29
  I actually quite like him like that as well, because didn't
• 28:31
  they say they'd had to make the lower arms wider to take those
• 28:36
  hands or something like? Yeah, it took the ogre hands,
• 28:39
  the bitch. Means yes, given it a funny
• 28:41
  shape and it works perfectly for the character.
• 28:45
  Yeah, exactly Walrus. I mean don't have arms.
• 28:48
  So you can definitely be have an artistic licence and how they
• 28:53
  may look and if they work with with your your parts library,
• 28:59
  why not? And couple of different looks
• 29:03
  here. Also the fish I.
• 29:06
  Was going to mention the. Fishman.
• 29:08
  Well, yeah, 100%. If I when I display him it sort
• 29:10
  of thing, it's going to be the harpoon in one hand as a weapon
• 29:13
  and he is hitting somebody in the face with the fish.
• 29:15
  That's the other weapon. He's the sort of guy that used
• 29:18
  to pick up anything and use it. So he's got the fish and he's
• 29:20
  he's hammering people off the deck with the with the fish.
• 29:24
  Do you think the harpoon fits in the little hole at the back of
• 29:27
  the tail? Yeah, that's the purpose there.
• 29:30
  Yeah, I think they did mention something about that on one of
• 29:33
  the figures anyway, didn't they? And it will probably work on all
• 29:36
  of them. Makes sense with that sort of
• 29:39
  weapon anyway. A spike also has various
• 29:44
  different horns, so comes with a helmet.
• 29:50
  So that must kind of front of his face comes off and this
• 29:53
  clips on and you get this kind of spiky helmet you see here on
• 29:57
  the left with the longer with that they've put in the longer
• 30:04
  fangs there, but I believe they're interchangeable with all
• 30:07
  the different looks. So yeah.
• 30:09
  Yeah, so if you don't want one broken Tusk, he's got a normal
• 30:12
  length Tusk. Replace that.
• 30:15
  I mean, why anyone would have it without the broken Tusk, I don't
• 30:17
  know. Yeah, it's just like it's a
• 30:21
  pirate. He's got a broken Tusk.
• 30:25
  And this is actual, like, rope around him.
• 30:29
  So we've seen rope being used before and a few different
• 30:34
  things, some of the Christmas figures.
• 30:35
  So yeah, I think that'll work. And a big, bad, menacing picture
• 30:42
  here from Trevor. Brilliant.
• 30:44
  Yeah. This guy is so cool.
• 30:47
  Yeah, I'm getting the vibe that we all love him.
• 30:51
  And I'm really glad he's a he's so cool because Eric Miller
• 30:54
  painted this one too. And I love this one.
• 30:56
  So I was able to balance out the the Vitas comment with the
• 30:59
  comments around this one. So that helped, yeah.
• 31:03
  Something unfortunately we don't get to see in the pictures.
• 31:06
  It looks like he's got sort of tattoo markings on his head, the
• 31:09
  neck, doesn't it? And up neck look, if you look it
• 31:12
  looks blue and you don't really get to see them on any other
• 31:15
  pictures. OK, We can't see them there
• 31:19
  though. But you zoom in on my phone.
• 31:21
  Might be the lights. Yeah, Mobu, it's another another
• 31:27
  fish character. The Master Fisher, or Ryosh of
• 31:31
  the Ocean's Lure, the Mantalian named Mobu, has been sailing the
• 31:37
  seas of mythos longer than anyone can remember.
• 31:40
  His Fellowship mates whisper that he has an almost mystical
• 31:43
  connection to the water and the bounty that swims beneath its
• 31:47
  waves. Dockton Eagles Port After a very
• 31:50
  successful fishing trip in the waters of what is now known as
• 31:53
  New Mythos, Mobu is sent into port to make sure the honoured
• 31:57
  guests that they will take back with them as they return home.
• 32:02
  Oh, they return home are ready for their time at sea.
• 32:06
  Accompanied by the ship's navigator, the Amurian named
• 32:09
  Koi, who first discovered New Mythos, Mobu warmly welcomes his
• 32:14
  new friends and prepares them for the adventures ahead.
• 32:19
  Did you glitch them out like some sort of computer game?
• 32:23
  I saw a full stop where there wasn't one and then it utterly
• 32:25
  confused me as to that sentence just threw me completely.
• 32:30
  Well, I can fix it, but now I have no.
• 32:33
  We removed this as well. I've only made one mess up it's
• 32:36
  so don't worry about. Hiding.
• 32:38
  Yeah, yeah. Fair enough.
• 32:42
  So this fish is a good fish, yes, and very cute.
• 32:51
  Yeah. Look at all the stuff you get
• 32:54
  with him now. So you get that, you get a red
• 32:55
  lobster, you get 2 smaller koi looking fish.
• 33:01
  Also a kind of a long green fish hook kind of harpooni hook and
• 33:11
  basket one another one of those little kind of Wicker balls that
• 33:17
  you can hang off the the belt and plus an extra head.
• 33:22
  So they were an open mouth and a closed mouth head.
• 33:29
  So Rich, what's your opinion on? Yeah, I love.
• 33:31
  This piece, absolutely love it, but it came up it just like, Oh
• 33:36
  my God, they've done a ray. I never thought they'd do a ray.
• 33:39
  That's just like, that's so cool, particularly with the ray
• 33:42
  fins on the back as well. So it's not just a case of it's
• 33:45
  a body with a ray head. It's like, no, no, there's the
• 33:47
  fins on the back, the patterning on the back of the of the wings
• 33:51
  to sort of thing is I love him, absolutely love him.
• 33:54
  Yeah, that you'd miss that kind of from the original stream, but
• 33:59
  you can really when you go back and look at the stuff, as Mel
• 34:02
  was saying earlier, you notice extra stuff.
• 34:05
  And this back in the fins here is read, looks really organic
• 34:08
  and Oh yeah, well done. Yeah.
• 34:10
  A bit of a spoiler for when you ask us about our favourites, but
• 34:14
  it's funny because there are waves.
• 34:16
  This guy would be way out in front of everyone, but because
• 34:19
  of how good the wave is, he perhaps drops back a bit.
• 34:22
  But he's so so cool, so fun. Brilliant use of that body as
• 34:26
  well. As we can say, it's incredible.
• 34:28
  Use the body. Isn't it so clever?
• 34:29
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 34:33
  And yeah, the body in question here is from Oka in Cosmic
• 34:38
  originally. So yeah, kind of goblin ish
• 34:45
  scale definitely 2.0 with the parts so.
• 34:50
  This is a good 2.0. Just getting to their rich.
• 34:53
  Yeah, so and nice to say about him.
• 34:59
  I mean I was looking at the. Open mouth and the open mouth is
• 35:01
  really cool to use the gills. I like the blaring open as well
• 35:06
  sort of thing. It's it's a very cool design.
• 35:09
  Yeah, unlike the sea grass really.
• 35:12
  Gauntlets and shin. Guards, you can remove them and
• 35:17
  he's just got normal arms underneath and yeah, he's
• 35:20
  another one like that. And I don't know if you guys
• 35:25
  played around with a much, but it's just so fun putting them
• 35:28
  together and putting all the little accessories on.
• 35:31
  He's another one like that and it's it's great.
• 35:34
  Fun. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:37
  They, they mentioned in the in the reveal that it's basically
• 35:41
  his clothing is basically coming from the sea with all the stuff
• 35:46
  that he has on. So that kind of makes sense for
• 35:48
  him, really, yeah. Very good.
• 35:53
  He's even got a little tail like Manta Retail as well.
• 35:56
  It's just like. Ah, he could army build him,
• 36:01
  couldn't you? Oh, he's going to.
• 36:02
  He's going to definitely have an evil twin brother.
• 36:06
  We could win the other factions, I can guarantee that.
• 36:09
  It made me think it'd be cool to repaint the head in the to
• 36:13
  match, say not look, but you know, we get in the blue and
• 36:17
  white. But oh, the blue one.
• 36:19
  Yeah, yeah. I forget what he's called at the
• 36:21
  minute, but that'd be a cool colour.
• 36:23
  That would actually be, yeah, definitely.
• 36:27
  You just need those fins though as well to really make it.
• 36:30
  With us, yeah, that's what I mean, repaying the head and the
• 36:32
  fins and then yeah, yeah, that the man to bits.
• 36:37
  Yeah, and there you go. You see he's got his dinner in
• 36:42
  Trevor's wonderful photo. He's got his lobster.
• 36:47
  Yeah, he's already cooked there. Nice boiled lobster.
• 36:56
  The discovery of New Mythos has created unprecedented
• 36:59
  opportunities for the exchange of new cultures and ideas, as
• 37:03
  well as economic openings for trade and commerce.
• 37:06
  Ibn Prosperous saw the potential of these financial opportunities
• 37:11
  immediately as one of the investors in the ship that was
• 37:14
  first discovered New Mythos. Ibn Prosperous quickly set
• 37:18
  himself up for a position of power, overseeing the trade
• 37:22
  between New Mythos and the rest of the world.
• 37:26
  No goods or vessels travel in or out of New Mythos without even
• 37:30
  Prosperous having some interest in the transaction.
• 37:34
  This has made the Master of Coin and Commerce a powerful figure,
• 37:38
  but it has also earned him many enemies, both in New Mythos and
• 37:42
  back in his own lands. Yeah, so lit the little finger
• 37:48
  of new mythos. Indeed.
• 37:51
  Yeah, I love this guy. In terms of the character, the
• 37:59
  bio, it's great. In terms of the figure as well.
• 38:05
  I mean, you get, you get the 2, the two builds.
• 38:08
  I mean, look at the difference there, the soft goods and the
• 38:10
  nuts of goods. Yeah.
• 38:13
  So yeah, he's another one for me.
• 38:15
  And again, a bit more spoiler that again in another way, if
• 38:18
  he'd probably be my favourite or amongst my favourites in this
• 38:22
  way. If he's not, he's not up there
• 38:24
  for me. But he is fantastic.
• 38:26
  I mean, he's an incredible looking figure with all the
• 38:29
  layers of soft good rich. I said when we did our live
• 38:33
  show, I think, I said I love that some of these characters
• 38:36
  we're getting where the soft goods are layered.
• 38:38
  I think it looks really effective, really cool.
• 38:41
  Yeah, as you said, sign how good the wave is because spoiler
• 38:43
  alert, he's not in my top three and I love this figure so.
• 38:50
  Right. And I love we're getting a
• 38:52
  different bird again. It's another.
• 38:53
  One of those birds, yeah, with the with the perch.
• 38:56
  That perch is new. I don't remember it with any
• 38:58
  other figure. No, no, not even a figura and.
• 39:04
  They say something about the wings popping out or something.
• 39:09
  They didn't mention something like that.
• 39:10
  Yeah. And there's what retrofit in the
• 39:12
  older wings, weren't they too? Yeah, able to go into it and
• 39:15
  that sort of thing as well, which is.
• 39:17
  Really cool. They're doing that with our bird
• 39:19
  as well, because it, yeah, you can if you the head kind of pops
• 39:23
  off if you want it to as well. So yeah, really cool.
• 39:28
  And not as many weapons maybe as some of the other figures, but I
• 39:32
  think the soft goods make up for that.
• 39:34
  Yeah. And so we got one cool kind of
• 39:39
  sword with cheat and then that. It'll what is that little thing
• 39:45
  like a math case, isn't it? It was.
• 39:47
  It was one of the bits from Monkey King.
• 39:52
  It was his staff before it was expanded.
• 39:56
  But in this case I guess you'd say it was something else when
• 39:59
  you like, say, map. Case may, yeah, or maybe
• 40:03
  something like a contract, something that also get on
• 40:06
  tracked inside or something like that, yeah.
• 40:08
  That's a good idea. I love Middle Eastern vibes to
• 40:11
  the soft good version, in particular that helmet and that
• 40:14
  sort of, you know, I've said on the show before, I love that
• 40:16
  sort of look. Yeah, and then the like a
• 40:22
  completely different colour scheme under, you know under the
• 40:26
  the non soft goods kind of almost Irish colours there, the
• 40:30
  green and the gold. So I.
• 40:33
  Think they said being able to make my Robin Hood custom.
• 40:36
  Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely.
• 40:44
  So yeah, I think he's a winner as well.
• 40:48
  It is, and he looks suspiciously like.
• 40:50
  Sorry John, He looks suspiciously like Zende too.
• 40:53
  I don't think that's in an error.
• 40:56
  Oh, you think it's? Live shading, Yeah, I think you
• 41:00
  might be on to something there. Yeah.
• 41:05
  Oh, so that his sword is called a cutlass.
• 41:09
  Yeah, yeah, it's. Piratey.
• 41:12
  Yeah, Piratey indeed. So, yeah, I think we're, you
• 41:16
  know, it's we're boring here. We like all the figures, but you
• 41:19
  know we can't help that. I didn't like metres.
• 41:26
  Rich is very quick to say when he doesn't like a figure, so
• 41:29
  here we go. I don't like this one
• 41:31
  particularly. General Delphine of Fitras.
• 41:36
  A decorated hero of the Second Great War of Mythos, General
• 41:40
  Delphine, and now serves as both the leader of the Temple and
• 41:42
  Knights of Etheros and an emissary from the Crown City.
• 41:47
  Travelling across Mythos as a representative the Legions of
• 41:50
  Light, she finds herself called back home when a strange ship
• 41:54
  from a foreign land washes up on their shores.
• 41:58
  What follows is a new age of discovery for the people of
• 42:01
  Mythos as their world suddenly becomes much larger.
• 42:05
  General Delphina of Ethos boards a vessel named the Oceans Lure
• 42:09
  with a crew from the Fishers Guild.
• 42:12
  Leaving the realm she is long protected, she journeys to see
• 42:15
  what lies beyond its borders and to discover where her and her
• 42:19
  people fit in this new Mythos. So yeah, the story link and
• 42:26
  between this and the I mean the ship blogs of the Golden Gale,
• 42:30
  the one we read before Legions Con itself, the little teaser
• 42:36
  story there was mention of, you know, landing in ether on.
• 42:40
  So we knew that there was going to be some ether on related
• 42:43
  character probably in this wave turns out to be her.
• 42:48
  Interesting. Not one I needed to be updated I
• 42:52
  have to say as well. I don't mind having her because
• 42:57
  I haven't got her, but yeah, I wouldn't have ever, you know?
• 43:01
  You know, Knights and Templars aren't my biggest thing anyway,
• 43:04
  even though I do think they look a lot better now than they used
• 43:07
  to. You're a Templar fan in general,
• 43:11
  Rich so. I am.
• 43:12
  And it's, you know, I think, I think what we've done is a good
• 43:15
  upgrade on her. I'll obviously get her, but I
• 43:17
  just wouldn't want this sort of character in this wave.
• 43:21
  I think that's the main thing for me.
• 43:22
  It's like the Vitus thing. What they've done is good, but
• 43:26
  you don't need that sort of character.
• 43:27
  In this way. I can totally understand why
• 43:28
  they've done it. They'll probably sell more of
• 43:30
  Delfina and beat us than any of the others, but yeah.
• 43:35
  Yeah, yeah. I mean, the figure in its own
• 43:39
  merits is great. You got, you got a bunch of
• 43:41
  heads, you know, you've got the the chainmail head, first time
• 43:45
  for a female. You got a new helmet with the
• 43:48
  like an eagle on top of it all great.
• 43:52
  You got a new unhelmeted head sculpt for her so that had that
• 43:58
  previous one had been used in a couple of different figures.
• 44:01
  They threw it in with Gwendolyn as well in a different paint
• 44:05
  scheme and we've had it on a few other since as well.
• 44:09
  I. Think a head, is it a grey
• 44:12
  stripe in the hair as well? Just as you look a bit older.
• 44:15
  Yeah, it's cool. That's that's cool.
• 44:17
  Yeah, that's a good little bit the.
• 44:18
  Head is probably my favourite bit of it all, to be fair.
• 44:22
  I like, you know, I like the character heads, you know,
• 44:25
  whether they male or female or whatever.
• 44:27
  Yeah, I mean the boss on the shield too is is really cool.
• 44:30
  That's new as well. Yeah, he's actually very clever.
• 44:34
  I mean, thank God Trevor had a word, had a suggestion to them
• 44:38
  to get her a skin tone neck. Yes.
• 44:42
  Because because the one thing I really don't like about the two
• 44:44
  point zeros is those necks when they're painted an armour
• 44:47
  colour, it just looks like it's you should head on a metal tube.
• 44:52
  Yeah, see, I don't. Mind it too much because in my
• 44:55
  imagination it's OK. It's not looking like chainmail,
• 44:58
  but they've got some sort of, you know, chainmail or something
• 45:02
  neck piece going up there. But but yeah, I mean it'll look
• 45:06
  much better. Than that it still looks like
• 45:09
  polo neck or was a turtleneck. They call it in America which is
• 45:13
  a bit bit much but yeah Templar soft goods.
• 45:20
  So I mean, I'm good with the 1.0 Templars, don't need a female
• 45:25
  Templar, but maybe I'm not the target audience for this one.
• 45:30
  We'll see. This is the thing.
• 45:31
  I've sort of gone, oh, you know, shouldn't be in the way.
• 45:33
  I'll probably get through it for they're just a flash of the
• 45:35
  templates so they know what they're doing.
• 45:39
  Yeah, that's true. And that helmet is awesome.
• 45:43
  I love the helmet. Yeah, they yeah, it's excellent.
• 45:49
  And yeah, beautiful photo from Trevor again.
• 45:53
  And you get, you get everything. You get it, Get even.
• 45:55
  You know, this is pretty much like the new night body for 2.0.
• 46:01
  So yeah, you know. Which I do think something like
• 46:04
  that was very much needed. So, you know, so Valiant Night
• 46:09
  was the first one we received in hand.
• 46:11
  We might get it something like that from the female from this,
• 46:17
  you know, Yeah, tooling basically before we actually
• 46:20
  receive her. You know, I'm not saying we get
• 46:22
  a female value at night in the future, G Conway, but maybe
• 46:25
  they'll do like a Legion builder wave at some stage between, you
• 46:29
  know, in the next year or two or maybe before her.
• 46:33
  Maybe because wouldn't be a surprise to get another con
• 46:38
  first kind of figure within. So maybe something like that.
• 46:41
  Although, yeah, kind of hope we get something else if they do
• 46:45
  that. You want your female barbarian?
• 46:48
  We know, we know. Which going to get with never I
• 46:54
  want. I want the legendary of the
• 46:56
  female legendary barbarian red hair.
• 47:03
  Yeah, and even the chainmail colour here is cool, yeah.
• 47:06
  Yeah, that's a nice touch actually, Yeah.
• 47:10
  The known as Jinja that'll do is a devious character.
• 47:14
  A devious character as you will ever meet.
• 47:17
  Employed by the Seafarers League and the sailing aboard the
• 47:21
  Undertow, Jinja uses his small size and innate magical
• 47:25
  abilities to work as a spy. As General Delfina and the
• 47:29
  Fishers Guild prepare to sail from Eagle's port, Jinja hides
• 47:33
  in the shadows and gathers information on their voyage,
• 47:37
  flying back to his own vessel which is anchored outside of the
• 47:40
  Deadlands where the Undertow can discreetly watch the comings and
• 47:44
  goings of ships upon which they could prey.
• 47:47
  The reports what he has learned Captain Iron School.
• 47:50
  Together they devise a plan to ambush the Fishers Guilds vessel
• 47:54
  as soon as he said the left the safety of new Mythos his waters.
• 48:00
  So no surprise he's a bad one. He's awesome.
• 48:06
  So good, so good. So here's the chest with the
• 48:10
  gold and gold bar. Gold Cup.
• 48:15
  Is weird. I don't know about you guys,
• 48:17
  we're looking at a picture. I don't think the gold bar works
• 48:19
  with that set, however, as an accessory you can give to eben
• 48:23
  or something. Yeah, it's.
• 48:24
  Going to be brilliant. Yeah, yeah.
• 48:26
  Yeah, I wouldn't criticise the figure for that.
• 48:28
  Yeah, it looks a bit too plain, like maybe needs a couple of
• 48:33
  dingers or something. And the fork here is great as
• 48:38
  well. The the kind of weapon, the
• 48:40
  yeah, pitchfork or whatever it is, and and a bunch of different
• 48:44
  heads, including the Malafar head repainted.
• 48:49
  I mean, I like that head and I think the repaint version is
• 48:51
  good, but I really like the new heads that he comes with there.
• 48:55
  They're excellent. Yeah.
• 48:58
  So this is IMP scale. So I take it this is mostly new,
• 49:02
  Yeah. Well they said didn't they add G
• 49:06
  con that This is why it got called in scale because he was
• 49:11
  actually created first but then they did the other two before
• 49:15
  him. Yeah, so cool.
• 49:18
  We do have the Monkey King necklace that is a very
• 49:22
  versatile piece and works for him.
• 49:28
  The wings, I love. The paint on the wings are
• 49:30
  incredible. Matches the ears and the tips of
• 49:34
  the horns. The gold goes with the kind of
• 49:38
  gold in the treasure chest. So, you know, yeah, 10 out of 10
• 49:45
  for this guy. And if you.
• 49:47
  People complain, mean a few people were complaining he was
• 49:49
  too blingy, weren't they? But it's like it's a pirate.
• 49:52
  He's going to be blingy. Well, yeah, the impact aspect of
• 49:57
  him as well makes me feel like, you know, he's got his own
• 50:01
  little horde of gold back home even though.
• 50:04
  He is a part of the picture look.
• 50:05
  Well, that's it. Yeah, it's his little.
• 50:07
  Horde, isn't it? Yeah.
• 50:09
  Yeah. Oh, really?
• 50:11
  You know, and if he's, if he's after the gold, you know, what's
• 50:14
  he going to do when he gets it? He's going to melt it down and
• 50:17
  make armour out of it. Yeah.
• 50:21
  So absolutely incredible. How many of these are on the
• 50:27
  cards for you? Rich, eh?
• 50:31
  5 or 6 I think probably. Obviously there's three heads he
• 50:35
  comes with, plus I've already got ideas for two of the heads
• 50:38
  that are already out there I think will work really well.
• 50:40
  Annoyingly, both of which I had in my blind bags that I was
• 50:43
  selling at Legions Co. So.
• 50:45
  So I've got six or seven that I brought home that I'm not open
• 50:47
  yet, see what heads I've got left.
• 50:49
  Hopefully they're in those bags, but it's almost certainly.
• 50:51
  That's a little blind bag for you as well.
• 50:53
  Yes, I'm going to be buying some stuff from a Wolf King when they
• 50:56
  reopen the website. But yeah, but reopening your
• 51:01
  leftover blind bags is like a blind bag.
• 51:03
  Experience. It is.
• 51:04
  It is, yeah. It's like, who knows?
• 51:05
  There's a list of 100 and 100 and 406 heads.
• 51:10
  That's it with me. Which which ones are left?
• 51:15
  And so what's the you, you already said you're going to
• 51:18
  order this wave direct with the horseman.
• 51:20
  So is that with all your extras as well or you're just going to
• 51:23
  order and all in and? And they still send in the all
• 51:26
  because I ordered an all in from.
• 51:27
  Are they still sending out by itself?
• 51:29
  OK, in that case, yeah, I'll probably do the all in.
• 51:33
  Well, I will do the all in through them and I'll probably
• 51:35
  maybe get like 3 of this guy, maybe as a separate order and
• 51:39
  then maybe a couple of other figures as a separate order.
• 51:41
  Keep under that 135 threshold. Got you.
• 51:47
  Yeah, so amazing figure. Brilliant figure.
• 51:52
  Captain Iron Skull, the barbarian of of this wave.
• 52:00
  The ruthless leader of the Undertow, Captain Iron Skull, is
• 52:03
  one of the highest ranking members of the Seafarers League.
• 52:07
  While other Seafarer captains at least pretend when uphold a
• 52:10
  measure of civility and decorum, the Undertow's captain has no
• 52:14
  time for such pointless displays.
• 52:17
  His brutal methods have long been questioned by others in the
• 52:20
  League, but rarely to Captain Iron School's face.
• 52:25
  None wish to make an enemy of the Undertow or the powerful
• 52:28
  benefactors who routinely use Captain Iron Skull and his crew
• 52:32
  to carry out deeds they themselves do not wish to be
• 52:35
  directly connected to. Because one of these missions
• 52:39
  which sends the Undertow to new mythos and puts them in the path
• 52:43
  of the Ocean's Lure. There we go.
• 52:51
  So I can say categorically that he just looks really cool, like
• 53:03
  he's got all the tattoos, which is a painter.
• 53:09
  You see them coming from the factory.
• 53:11
  It's fantastic. You don't have to paint them and
• 53:15
  look at that pauldron, you know. It's a good pauldron.
• 53:20
  Yeah. And then he's got a bunch of
• 53:22
  masks he can wear. He's got 2, you know, what can
• 53:28
  you say? It's kind of what's that kind of
• 53:29
  like a bone shell kind of mask. Yeah, it's like some kind of
• 53:33
  fish skull again, isn't it? And.
• 53:35
  Yeah, and that kind of basket, those pants as well, they're not
• 53:41
  soft goods. They're actual sculpt, which I
• 53:45
  think is what makes Rich most excited about maybe getting more
• 53:49
  Eastern type characters. Exactly.
• 53:51
  This is the sort of thing that leads into that, isn't it?
• 53:54
  Yeah, be as in mythics or even a figure of.
• 53:59
  Even figure of figure Aladdin or something like that.
• 54:02
  So you can. Yeah.
• 54:03
  Oh yeah. Good call, Good call.
• 54:07
  So yeah, just incredible. Here.
• 54:12
  You get it cool selection of weapons here.
• 54:14
  Then you know, you get the you get the cutlass, you get the
• 54:20
  hook hand as well, which is great and you also get a hand.
• 54:26
  I think that's or is that to go with?
• 54:29
  The it's just to replace his land.
• 54:31
  Yeah, he doesn't. Know his right hand will be a or
• 54:36
  correct a weapon. Well go into your father, you'll
• 54:39
  get a hand if you really want to.
• 54:41
  A2 handed version of this guy, but yeah, it doesn't work with
• 54:45
  the character I suppose a bunch of small little knives which
• 54:49
  work well as well for this type of character you generally you'd
• 54:54
  imagine he has a bunch of different tools and knives and
• 54:58
  it. Looks like those two little
• 55:00
  throwing knives. Actually, you can slide them
• 55:02
  into the belt around his his body as well.
• 55:06
  That's a really cool touch. Oh.
• 55:08
  It's a good touch. Yeah, Yeah.
• 55:11
  And the necklace that comes with as well, a little bone necklace.
• 55:13
  That's new, isn't it? That's that's very cool.
• 55:19
  Is it just me? I think, I think I've said this
• 55:21
  before, I would refer the lest well cut body, not a fat body
• 55:26
  necessarily because you've got the but just more of a.
• 55:30
  You know it's muscular. Bod, less muscular sort of thing
• 55:33
  where this guy's like proper cut sort of thing.
• 55:36
  And I don't know, that's the only thing that makes me waiver
• 55:38
  slightly with the figure. It's like I'm not sure that
• 55:40
  character would have that sort of.
• 55:43
  I know what you say and I'm sure I'd like him if he was like that
• 55:45
  as well, but I really just like how he is.
• 55:48
  I think I really, I think he's really cool.
• 55:51
  He's got me there. Maybe we are just icons rich and
• 55:56
  it's very difficult to sculpt our bodies.
• 55:59
  Maybe that's what it is, John. Yeah.
• 56:00
  Yeah, yeah. You know, it's kind of like the
• 56:04
  forbidden fruit. You can't sculpt that beautiful
• 56:07
  dad bod. Maybe.
• 56:09
  Maybe I. Can send you guys something I
• 56:11
  keep forgetting. Maybe Eric's waiting for the
• 56:14
  Euro Legion. Membership.
• 56:20
  Happy Christmas I was. Going to say maybe, maybe Eric's
• 56:25
  waiting for the Euro Legions calendar to see what the dad
• 56:29
  boards look like, sort of thing. That's how you sculpt them.
• 56:31
  OK, Yeah, there we go. I think it'll be a hard pass on
• 56:35
  that from absolutely everybody on earth.
• 56:40
  Yeah. So again, superb photography
• 56:44
  from Trevor 3.0 as well here, but I think it works and.
• 56:51
  It breaks about the foot. Yeah, on that I plate too.
• 56:57
  This just it's so cool that it's like welded on.
• 56:59
  Yeah, that. Yeah, and it's it's got the it's
• 57:03
  got the weather in that they're so good at.
• 57:07
  And you have to give respect to the mutton chops and Tash.
• 57:11
  Oh yeah, absolutely. It's yet another.
• 57:14
  And Eric does it so well, doesn't he?
• 57:16
  Just sees heads, his face churning out.
• 57:18
  They're just so, so cool, every one of them.
• 57:22
  And so much character in them all.
• 57:25
  Yep. OK, and on to the big lad.
• 57:30
  Boy, is he a big lad. He is.
• 57:34
  The Ocean's Lure secret weapon, the massive Carcinian named
• 57:39
  Bulwark, acts as a ship's deckhand, literally taking care
• 57:44
  of any of the heavy lifting needed about the vessel.
• 57:47
  As the ship sails away from New Mythos, Bulwark clings to the
• 57:51
  bottom of the vessel, hidden from sight.
• 57:54
  When the lure is ambushed by members of the Seafarers League
• 57:58
  and their ship is boarded, it is the surprise emergence of
• 58:01
  Bulwark that turns the tide of battle in favour of the Fishers.
• 58:06
  Tossing the attackers from the Undertow overboard, the lure
• 58:09
  makes its escape, heading across the Great Sea on the voyage to
• 58:14
  the port of Mythos. That's really cool as well.
• 58:19
  You know, it would look ridiculous if he was just
• 58:23
  standing on deck, you know, start sailing along.
• 58:27
  But that you know, that story where he's basically underneath
• 58:31
  in the water as part of the ship, almost.
• 58:35
  And then, yeah, to totally ambush those guys, just swatting
• 58:39
  them with the claws. So now you can because this guy
• 58:43
  is big. He's he's as big as a troll,
• 58:45
  basically, or almost, but I don't.
• 58:50
  But he's solid. I think he's going to be.
• 58:52
  So he's going to be double the weight of patrol and yeah, you
• 58:56
  can just get like bad guys and shove them in his claws as if
• 58:59
  he's thrown them across the shelf.
• 59:02
  Yeah, this guy's going to weigh so much, you do not want to try
• 59:04
  and bring him back in a suitcase from Legions Con.
• 59:06
  No. You wouldn't get much else in
• 59:08
  there. Yeah, you'd have to.
• 59:11
  Yeah, If you need to put him into a bag, that's going to be
• 59:14
  weighed your toast. Yeah, yeah.
• 59:19
  So he was the big, you know, crescendo of the of the reveal
• 59:29
  and of course he's the big figure.
• 59:31
  So makes sense. Really like I'm look at all the
• 59:34
  damage sculpture and everything. You know, that just gives us so
• 59:39
  much more character having that sort of.
• 59:41
  And I love the colour scheme. The colour scheme works
• 59:43
  brilliantly on this, yeah. Yeah, So it's a slightly
• 59:47
  different green on the on the shell, the back compared to the
• 59:52
  body. But as Rich said, that works
• 59:54
  really good and he. Gets and he's got his two head
• 59:58
  yeah sage on 2 heads. He's got his happy deck and head
• 1:00:01
  and his Oh no, was enjoying hang on the bottom of the ship.
• 1:00:04
  No angry head. And the anchor then makes sense
• 1:00:07
  because he's on the bottom of the ship because he can, yeah,
• 1:00:09
  grab the anchors. He's coming up and someone
• 1:00:12
  across the head with it. You know, say, sort of says
• 1:00:15
  something about his strength, doesn't it?
• 1:00:17
  And how that he's just swinging this huge anchor around.
• 1:00:20
  It's, yeah, a real great character piece, that is.
• 1:00:25
  Yeah. And he's close.
• 1:00:27
  Hold on the Oh yeah, the close opens as well, Yeah.
• 1:00:31
  Shrink down versions of that sets up nicely from Clawful
• 1:00:33
  Tribute at some point down there.
• 1:00:36
  Or maybe he'll be that big. Just plugged into, just plugged
• 1:00:41
  into like a brood scale or something.
• 1:00:43
  Yeah, it'd be funny, wouldn't it?
• 1:00:45
  Yeah. And again, Trevor gets the the
• 1:00:50
  glamour photograph here. Yeah.
• 1:00:53
  So good. So good.
• 1:00:55
  Yeah. So I like all these figures.
• 1:00:57
  So it's a. Problem.
• 1:01:00
  Oh yeah, it's a smash here wave, Yeah.
• 1:01:03
  So should we do that? We have one more figure which we
• 1:01:05
  do the top three from here because the other figure is
• 1:01:08
  calling, yeah. And so let's do the top three of
• 1:01:13
  the reveals so. Mal, you can genuinely upset it.
• 1:01:17
  Breathe. Go to your happy place.
• 1:01:20
  I mean get our in GO-0. 123 or 321 as you like it.
• 1:01:25
  Go, Richie, go first. So in 3rd place for me is Zinja.
• 1:01:30
  Absolutely love that dude, such an evil little so and so.
• 1:01:34
  Second place, Mobile, it's my Fishman finally, very happy with
• 1:01:38
  him. And then Odeben is my top one.
• 1:01:42
  I'm not sure I could have got a better figure than over there.
• 1:01:44
  I got a couple of walruses anyway, so he adds the walrus
• 1:01:47
  clan. He's big, he's beefy, so many
• 1:01:50
  cool accessories, painted exquisitely.
• 1:01:52
  Eric, he's just all sorts of good.
• 1:01:58
  Right. And for me, 3 is Captain 9's
• 1:02:03
  Iron's Goal, 2 is Mobu, and one is Old Oban.
• 1:02:11
  He's just too cool. So yeah, I think that that's a
• 1:02:16
  kind of nice variety there as well.
• 1:02:18
  You've got the different sizes and I mean the tops.
• 1:02:21
  I mean, I had to get mobile in there somewhere.
• 1:02:23
  It's just so cool. That's crossing my arms in
• 1:02:26
  preparation for Mal starting now that's of aggressive across it.
• 1:02:31
  If you start off 3F Mal, we're going to have a problem just.
• 1:02:35
  As I say, this ABC is that kind of wave.
• 1:02:38
  Yeah, but This is why it's even more fun to pick a top three
• 1:02:42
  honourable mention. Oh God, we've already mentioned
• 1:02:46
  them all. So maybe is the honourable
• 1:02:48
  mention, but then I think it's the Pirates so and in and I'd go
• 1:02:52
  oh, to Ben 3, Zinjar 2 and I just really, really like Captain
• 1:02:58
  Iron school. It feels criminal picking and
• 1:03:01
  picking one of the human characters with this wave, but
• 1:03:04
  he he feels like he fits in so many.
• 1:03:07
  You know, he's got this really cool piratey aesthetic for
• 1:03:12
  mythos pirates, which are a really cool version of pirates
• 1:03:16
  if from what we're seeing. But they also you could just
• 1:03:19
  transpose him into a post apocalyptic world as well.
• 1:03:22
  And, you know, without much change to him and easy, Yeah.
• 1:03:25
  He could be in Mad Max. Yeah.
• 1:03:28
  Water well clear. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:03:30
  Yeah, and to be fair, you've always, eh, campaigned for
• 1:03:34
  pirates on the show as as as you know, a future character type.
• 1:03:39
  So. But I must admit I've always had
• 1:03:41
  more traditional pirates in mind and so I've always but yeah,
• 1:03:45
  that this is awesome. This is so I on the I noticed on
• 1:03:50
  the G Con so on at the very start of it said time for the
• 1:03:56
  pirates of dark water wave and this guy smacks of something
• 1:04:01
  you'd have seen in like pirates of dark water.
• 1:04:03
  It was that kind of vibe and it's excellent.
• 1:04:07
  And I think that's the route they're going for pirates in
• 1:04:09
  mythos or this is the route. I really, really, really like
• 1:04:13
  it. Cool.
• 1:04:17
  What is it with these barbarian guys and nice guys richer?
• 1:04:26
  Right, Koi. We got Koi as a surprise figure.
• 1:04:30
  He is awesome. Well, he was revealed as a
• 1:04:35
  surprise because I was telling everybody even before that he
• 1:04:37
  was going to be the surprise. And if he hadn't been, I don't
• 1:04:39
  look the damn fool. That that was kind of The funny
• 1:04:43
  thing, wasn't it? They did the reveal of.
• 1:04:45
  And as good as it was, it's like, oh, how kind of, you know,
• 1:04:48
  after he was so featured so prominently in that story, I
• 1:04:52
  feel a bit deflated He's not in there.
• 1:04:54
  And I'm really curious to see what he looks like.
• 1:04:56
  And obviously Jeremy gave this feel of, oh, you know, someone
• 1:04:59
  asked the question, oh, we can do him in a future wave.
• 1:05:03
  This isn't A1 off. This is going to grow.
• 1:05:06
  And then you're like, I was, yeah, fair enough.
• 1:05:09
  I was chatting to Brent, who asked the question, and he was
• 1:05:13
  like saying, Oh yeah, you know, I had to ask it.
• 1:05:15
  And I was like, I could see Jeremy was dancing around the
• 1:05:17
  answer. It was just like, you know, it's
• 1:05:18
  going to happen. Yeah.
• 1:05:21
  And then we got him wow, in terms of the Paint app.
• 1:05:25
  Wow, what about his bio? We know a bit about him from the
• 1:05:28
  story so. A seasoned navigator and
• 1:05:32
  harpooner from a distant land, the Murian named Koi spent his
• 1:05:36
  life travelling the vast seas of the world on a ship's crewed by
• 1:05:40
  others of his race. Like all of Mythos's sailors, he
• 1:05:43
  has always avoided the mysterious area of the Great
• 1:05:46
  Sea, where ships are said to disappear after a great tremor
• 1:05:50
  shakes the world. A massive wave propels Koi's
• 1:05:53
  vessel towards these dangerous waters, much to the surprise of
• 1:05:58
  the seafarer. He finds himself upon the shores
• 1:06:01
  of a strange continent that does not appear on any of his maps.
• 1:06:05
  It is a land that should not be there, populated with curious
• 1:06:09
  inhabitants who seek information from Coy about the lands beyond
• 1:06:13
  their own. Having discovered New Mythos,
• 1:06:16
  Coy and his fellow crew members return home as famous explorers,
• 1:06:20
  and many of that crew retire from the Fishers Guild due to
• 1:06:23
  their new celebrity status. Coy still feels the core of the
• 1:06:28
  water, however, and he eventually joins the crew of the
• 1:06:31
  Golden Gill as they head back to New Mythos as part of a new age
• 1:06:35
  of wonder and discovery for the world of Mythos.
• 1:06:41
  Love that bio. It's brilliant, isn't it?
• 1:06:44
  Is this one that Jeremy said you'd have to shrink down a
• 1:06:46
  little bit for the BOK? No, it was a different one,
• 1:06:48
  wasn't it? Only.
• 1:06:49
  Yeah. Because yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:50
  Because we didn't know this was coming.
• 1:06:51
  Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, but it is quite a long
• 1:06:56
  bio, so I wonder if all that is actually on the box I.
• 1:07:00
  Haven't actually looked, you know I.
• 1:07:02
  I tell you, but I've sold a three hat in box which I've only
• 1:07:06
  got. I've only got loose ones left.
• 1:07:10
  And anyway, yeah, bunch of stuff you get with him and you get the
• 1:07:18
  2 back fins. 1 is for pauldrons on, one is for pauldrons off.
• 1:07:23
  Covers the holes, so that's pretty cool.
• 1:07:26
  So cool. Which company?
• 1:07:26
  Which other company would do that?
• 1:07:28
  Yeah, and the little neck piece as well, it just sits on, never
• 1:07:36
  my favourite when it does that, but I can understand for this
• 1:07:40
  type of character. Kind of sits on the fit.
• 1:07:43
  There's a little notch in it, sits on the fin of the thing.
• 1:07:47
  It works fine, but if you're starting to move them around,
• 1:07:50
  you'll have to line it up again. Maybe the weapon is excellent as
• 1:07:56
  well. It's it's a bit like the weapon
• 1:07:57
  we're getting with the Auto Ben. Maybe it's the same weapon, bent
• 1:08:02
  it differently. You got also something that
• 1:08:04
  looks like a machete and you got a helmet of Ted.
• 1:08:07
  What's your impressions of this guy, Rich?
• 1:08:09
  I love him, absolutely love him. It's so cool that the head is
• 1:08:14
  basically a fish. It's like, I know it's meant,
• 1:08:17
  you know, he's done more fish, but you can use the head as a
• 1:08:19
  fish, which obviously the colours really, you know, spot
• 1:08:23
  on for what you'd expect from a koi fish.
• 1:08:26
  The arm is called the weapons great as you say, and I didn't
• 1:08:29
  think I'd appreciate a helmeted head, but the helmeted head
• 1:08:32
  actually looks really good and gives you that sort of army
• 1:08:36
  builder. Not builder, but an army
• 1:08:38
  character sort of look rather. Yeah, it works especially well
• 1:08:41
  with the pauldrons. I think on yes, you know, you
• 1:08:45
  know, matches all up and I love the the combination of the kind
• 1:08:50
  of dark green soft goods with the with the kind of Browns
• 1:08:58
  almost like kind of wooden, you know, it's almost like he has
• 1:09:00
  wooden armour, you know. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:04
  And it's I mean in hand. I cannot find default to this
• 1:09:08
  figure in hand. There's maybe like I think Kurt
• 1:09:11
  just had a video this week where he he was trembling out the head
• 1:09:15
  a bit to make it sit lower. I can see where you'd where that
• 1:09:20
  comes from. I think it's solved with the the
• 1:09:23
  neck piece, really the little collar thing.
• 1:09:28
  And but I I don't need to do that.
• 1:09:30
  I think. I think it's fine, yeah.
• 1:09:35
  I can see what people think, it might be a little high, but as
• 1:09:38
  long as you know depending what angle you're displaying the head
• 1:09:41
  at. Yeah, the Ninion was was similar
• 1:09:44
  in a way in that regard. Yeah.
• 1:09:47
  And there you can see the back of him there, how it looks.
• 1:09:53
  The little tail is cool as well. Really works well, Yeah.
• 1:09:57
  And you can kind of have it down low, but you could it also works
• 1:10:00
  if you turn it upside down and put it in.
• 1:10:04
  It's kind of sticking out at more of a right angle, but also
• 1:10:09
  works. Not not perfect, but.
• 1:10:11
  And the web hands and feet too, so you can see it well in this
• 1:10:14
  picture with this, the hand is not holding the weapon.
• 1:10:17
  It's just such a little cool touch.
• 1:10:19
  Yeah, yeah. So there's a lot of, well, a
• 1:10:22
  good bit of like the scope that's actually slightly
• 1:10:25
  translucent with a bit of paint on it, which is already.
• 1:10:29
  Here. Works really well.
• 1:10:31
  And this is another Eric Miller paint job, and I think we can
• 1:10:34
  give him the full 10 out of 10 for this one.
• 1:10:37
  Oh yeah, yeah. And I've got to say, I think
• 1:10:40
  making things like the, the beard bits and then the that,
• 1:10:49
  sorry. The barbles barbles.
• 1:10:52
  I knew they had a name and the the fins, all that soft plastic
• 1:10:56
  is perfect. It's just because I was, I was
• 1:11:00
  handling the head and trying to change the faceplate.
• 1:11:03
  I was really nervous and hadn't registered that they were soft
• 1:11:07
  in the minute I grabbed it as a home.
• 1:11:11
  Did you mean staring on it for like 2 hours?
• 1:11:12
  Building up the college? I can do this.
• 1:11:14
  I can do that's. It yeah, and there's a kind of a
• 1:11:18
  shimmer off the what you know, the chest here, the kind of
• 1:11:21
  white, the whiter bits of the paint.
• 1:11:28
  So yeah, he goes. I think he's in contender for
• 1:11:31
  for top figure for the next episodes.
• 1:11:34
  He's definitely in the running. Fabulous figure.
• 1:11:40
  Yeah, we've lost to choose from this year just.
• 1:11:46
  I'm happy I could spread the joy of koi around the UK.
• 1:11:49
  Collectors. True, yeah.
• 1:11:52
  It came at a cost, though. Well, you weren't given the way
• 1:11:56
  for Freeway. I was not.
• 1:11:58
  No, no, no. It's a reasonable markup, I'd
• 1:12:00
  say. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:12:02
  Yeah, well, you know, you, you went, you went to America.
• 1:12:05
  So yeah, you know, lots of people are happy to save their
• 1:12:09
  money, stay at home, and then use it to buy koi off you.
• 1:12:14
  I just share a room with you guys for four days that you know
• 1:12:16
  I deserved. Oh no, love, was it not 5 days?
• 1:12:29
  I'd strong to try to forget what it was.
• 1:12:35
  Yeah, you're quite right. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 1:12:37
  Saturday, Sunday. Hey, this is Corn Boy from 4
• 1:12:42
  Horsemen Toy Design, and you're listening to the Euro Legions
• 1:12:45
  podcast. Right, let's have a quick look
• 1:12:48
  at these figures then. So so we don't rattle on too
• 1:12:53
  long. Scaphoid 2 is the first one and
• 1:12:56
  so 2 Legacies figures have you? Has anyone managed to mess
• 1:13:00
  around with Scaphoid and what's the thoughts?
• 1:13:03
  He's still all baggied up because I can't get to the the
• 1:13:08
  shelf that I need to put him on. I've had a little, not much.
• 1:13:15
  I love the sort of winged look. The winged look and the typical
• 1:13:19
  I had is a great combo. I'm glad that I got a couple of
• 1:13:24
  exclusives to keep myself sort of thing.
• 1:13:26
  It's I will find a good use for you.
• 1:13:28
  The set of wings too. Yeah, and yeah, he's really
• 1:13:32
  great. The the head with the, you know,
• 1:13:35
  all the runes and stuff on it is fantastic.
• 1:13:40
  Looks just as good in hand as it did in the pictures.
• 1:13:44
  They don't glow, but, you know, that's OK.
• 1:13:50
  And yeah, I like him. I need him, maybe again, but I'm
• 1:13:58
  glad we have him now. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
• 1:14:01
  He's so much better than the original 1.
• 1:14:04
  And, you know, now we've got these, the new.
• 1:14:06
  Little translucent magic effects, kind of potion bottles,
• 1:14:11
  all the little trinkets he comes with the soft goods.
• 1:14:14
  In fact he's got less armour. Makes him feel more magical
• 1:14:18
  rather than warrior esque, doesn't it?
• 1:14:20
  So. Now I probably know the reason
• 1:14:23
  they didn't do it was to give him more rigidity, but if he had
• 1:14:27
  the the skull chest underneath the soft goods that would have
• 1:14:32
  been even cooler. Yeah, painted in that colour,
• 1:14:35
  yeah. But then you'd still have the
• 1:14:39
  boots, so you couldn't kind of give to the full, you know?
• 1:14:45
  Naked skeleton except for the. Yeah, that just look weird.
• 1:14:51
  You know naked skeleton doesn't look weird, but with boots on
• 1:14:54
  then it just does throw you off a bit.
• 1:14:57
  Like he's part of a caravan site, he's making it across the
• 1:14:59
  back when you hand at night to the toilet block.
• 1:15:03
  Sir Valgard then, and I had a problem with mine that I think a
• 1:15:08
  lot of people have. This main head is very wobbly
• 1:15:13
  and it comes in the package bagged up in plastic.
• 1:15:18
  And I think that's the issue. They maybe put it in that
• 1:15:20
  plastic before it was maybe cool or whatever.
• 1:15:25
  I don't know what happened, but you put it on the head and it
• 1:15:29
  just dangles around and it doesn't matter which peg and I
• 1:15:33
  think you had the same problem now.
• 1:15:35
  Yeah, yeah, it's, it is a little bit wobbly.
• 1:15:39
  Yeah, it doesn't it. Doesn't pop off, does it?
• 1:15:42
  It just. No, wobbles, pops on and then it
• 1:15:45
  doesn't. Yeah, just wobbles, yeah.
• 1:15:47
  So a little bit of tack fixes it.
• 1:15:51
  I think most of them must be like that then because I've
• 1:15:53
  heard of other people that had the same problem.
• 1:15:55
  Fair. When you've put the pauldrons on
• 1:15:57
  these beard sits between in such a way.
• 1:15:59
  Different move anyway, doesn't it?
• 1:16:01
  Yeah. Rich View.
• 1:16:05
  Yeah, again, same. The slightly wobbly head sort of
• 1:16:08
  thing. Yeah.
• 1:16:09
  And as you said, Johnny, must be the plastic.
• 1:16:11
  Yeah, I'll tell you what I've also found, and I noticed it
• 1:16:14
  when I was unboxing four of these in the room for myself.
• 1:16:18
  For some reason, the accessories were loose in the back in the
• 1:16:21
  boxes, like falling about loose in most of them, right.
• 1:16:25
  And the ones I sold again as I'm picked one up was just rattling
• 1:16:28
  when. And the other thing is, which is
• 1:16:29
  like, I don't understand that maybe they're putting everything
• 1:16:32
  in too warm, Maybe they're going in the plastic.
• 1:16:35
  Yeah, mix is too warm or something and then have cooled
• 1:16:37
  and they're loose. I just can't imagine, you know,
• 1:16:40
  that they would, you know, would there be that warm when they're
• 1:16:44
  been painted already or the thought that had to be cooled
• 1:16:46
  and to be painted. But I don't know thing about
• 1:16:50
  making figures in the factory. So how it happens, but it just
• 1:16:55
  didn't it didn't work. It's a it's.
• 1:17:00
  A shame because for me, I mean, it's not a bad, there's not a
• 1:17:02
  big issue. I will say it's a bit, it's a
• 1:17:06
  shame because it's it's actually I think my favourite one of the
• 1:17:09
  legacies of mythos we've got so far.
• 1:17:11
  When you put them all together and he stood there and he's,
• 1:17:14
  he's so, so cool. I've got him behind me with his
• 1:17:17
  little hammer and he's a Valgard.
• 1:17:20
  Do whatever they called it stood next to him.
• 1:17:25
  So yeah. And again, the exclusive bits
• 1:17:29
  here are the legs I think in the helmet and maybe those are the
• 1:17:33
  pauldrons are the exclusive or not.
• 1:17:35
  No, no, I think no, they're not. That's just Valgard.
• 1:17:38
  Yeah. Oh, oh, the spare 1.
• 1:17:40
  Yes. Sorry, human stuff was the
• 1:17:42
  helmet, the legs, the pauldrons, 2 sets of hands.
• 1:17:45
  Yeah, that was exclusive stuff. You don't really need them, you
• 1:17:49
  know. Not at all.
• 1:17:50
  He's very cool. They're great bonus to get, but
• 1:17:54
  you're not really missing out. Yeah.
• 1:17:56
  Oh, even the human neck and the braces as well.
• 1:17:58
  They again they were exclusive when this is a lot of exclusive
• 1:18:01
  bits in that one. Yeah.
• 1:18:03
  But again, apart from the neck of nothing bad to say about it
• 1:18:08
  and that great figure, you know, that could really be a deal
• 1:18:11
  breaker for people. But.
• 1:18:15
  As I say, I think the key and people should bear in mind it
• 1:18:18
  doesn't come off. So, you know, I think that is
• 1:18:22
  the most important thing in my. Tiny bit of sticky tack.
• 1:18:26
  Yeah. But hopefully maybe the regular
• 1:18:29
  version will be fine. So, you know, maybe they've had
• 1:18:32
  time to fix that. I will probably pick up one,
• 1:18:35
  about one or two of the regular version, just just because he's
• 1:18:40
  such a cool figure, you know? I'd like to have some spare bits
• 1:18:44
  from. Him.
• 1:18:45
  That's the type of figure. Sorry, Richie, I was.
• 1:18:48
  Going to say I definitely get one of the regular ones because
• 1:18:50
  I want a regular one as Vanguard because I'm going to use the
• 1:18:53
  ball that I brought back all of this.
• 1:18:54
  Is it Valiant Guard or whatever they called it?
• 1:18:58
  Yeah. So on the bigger box.
• 1:19:00
  Yeah, OK. Gotcha.
• 1:19:03
  Yeah, yeah, you could in a if you have an exclusive, you can
• 1:19:08
  just use the helmet instead of the dwarf head.
• 1:19:11
  Yeah, and of course you have the skeleton dwarf head as well.
• 1:19:14
  So no thumbs down from Al. Sorry, Sorry, Brett.
• 1:19:22
  And then we have the actual legions gone exclusives
• 1:19:28
  themselves, the the warrior and the Revenant 1st.
• 1:19:33
  So this is 1 figure that you can build either.
• 1:19:38
  So generally people will get 2. This was probably the most
• 1:19:42
  popular figure there. You'd say I.
• 1:19:46
  Think it was the first one to sell out.
• 1:19:47
  Yeah, and what is it? It's a big 1.0 ninety type
• 1:19:53
  build. Yeah, you know, kind of bulky,
• 1:19:56
  grungy looking paint job cool and all, but.
• 1:20:01
  This is what people want, Yeah. You know, if you were to do
• 1:20:07
  custom, you'd probably do it more fancy than this, in a way.
• 1:20:10
  But I think people just love this kind of grungy, cool look,
• 1:20:14
  you know? Well, a lot of the armors are
• 1:20:16
  like really shiny and bright, aren't they?
• 1:20:18
  So I think when you get the chance to have someone looks
• 1:20:20
  like he's in more dirty, don't worn armour, people are going to
• 1:20:24
  jump at that. I think, yeah, as I think as
• 1:20:26
  nights figures go, these are amongst my, you know, this,
• 1:20:31
  they're cooler. They've got a bit more as just
• 1:20:33
  say, grungy a bit sort of heavy metal, you might say, sort of
• 1:20:39
  effect. Yeah, styling to them.
• 1:20:44
  I know. Yeah.
• 1:20:44
  I really really like. Them between the two, the
• 1:20:49
  Revenant is my favourite the build.
• 1:20:52
  What about you guys? I've not got around to playing
• 1:20:57
  with mine yet, but certainly I think the warrior from each
• 1:21:00
  looking at the pictures. Yeah, OK.
• 1:21:02
  Yeah, I'm torn because the residents probably got the more
• 1:21:06
  parts to it that I like, but I mean, I've got him with the
• 1:21:12
  skull head on because that feels like the revenant to me.
• 1:21:14
  But I prefer some of the heads that the warrior has from that
• 1:21:19
  perspective. I used the one of the exclusive.
• 1:21:23
  I think he's the exclusive had the go go ether blade head
• 1:21:32
  because I really, really like that head and he looks really
• 1:21:34
  cool with that head. Got you.
• 1:21:36
  Yeah, yeah, I know. I have to say it's close from
• 1:21:40
  thing because I do love the bulky look as well.
• 1:21:43
  And that's the the skirt piece there is the eh Ferius.
• 1:21:47
  So the come on the centre first. So, eh, it's slightly bigger
• 1:21:54
  than than a normal skirt piece, so it kind of helps that bulky
• 1:21:57
  look. It just makes them look even
• 1:21:59
  bulkier down in the in the kind of upper legs.
• 1:22:02
  Yeah, he looks like the sort of night you'd see coming and you
• 1:22:04
  sort of go who? Hang on a minute.
• 1:22:06
  It's a bit of a unit come in there.
• 1:22:08
  Yeah. Yeah, he's, he's a brick, isn't
• 1:22:10
  he? Yeah.
• 1:22:10
  It's like you're not getting past him.
• 1:22:14
  Let's see that big legs by hand sword as well.
• 1:22:16
  You're like, Oh my. God, then the other guy just has
• 1:22:20
  a mache in an accident. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:22:24
  Skull or no skull, I'll take him ahead of the war.
• 1:22:29
  And then the Nymph and the Shirelle.
• 1:22:32
  Totally different type figures here, obviously 2.0 female and
• 1:22:36
  very cool figures. I have to say again, not really
• 1:22:42
  my thing, but I do. I got 1, not I should.
• 1:22:49
  I'd probably get a second one to make the two of them, but I just
• 1:22:52
  got one. I believe it's gone, just that
• 1:22:54
  one. Get the exclusive bits.
• 1:22:56
  Same as you, John. I got one for the exclusive
• 1:22:58
  parts. Basically that head paints in
• 1:23:01
  that sort of colour. Colorway is great, isn't it?
• 1:23:04
  That'll do me. But I can confirm the soft goods
• 1:23:06
  are excellent. Everything is really nice,
• 1:23:09
  everything works well so. These are these, These are my
• 1:23:13
  favourites from the two right figures, you know, from out of
• 1:23:18
  the Crossroads figures, the new furniture, all of my favourites.
• 1:23:22
  Nymph probably takes it just, yeah, just cool character, like
• 1:23:28
  the wings. I think I've given her a cloak
• 1:23:31
  as well, even though it's not tucked over a head like it is
• 1:23:34
  for the Charelle. Yeah.
• 1:23:36
  So you see downside here, you can see they're actually wings
• 1:23:40
  that went to the back, so. They're the ones that came with,
• 1:23:47
  uh, Artemis. The Artemis 2.
• 1:23:49
  Version two, yeah, yeah, painted differently.
• 1:23:54
  Yeah, I think this is one of my favourite stories of all of
• 1:23:57
  them. Yeah.
• 1:23:58
  I just love the mystery to it and the the kind of everything.
• 1:24:04
  Right. So that that's them.
• 1:24:06
  Then we got a bit of news this week.
• 1:24:09
  We got Grimm the Executioner as the Zolocon 2026 figures.
• 1:24:16
  So what is Grimm the executioner, one may ask?
• 1:24:19
  Actually comes from a line called the realm of the
• 1:24:23
  underworld, which is Zolo the Zolocon people's line or solo
• 1:24:30
  world line. And so there you see it's a it's
• 1:24:37
  like a he man type figure, you know, almost like a he man knock
• 1:24:40
  off or whatever in terms of the book.
• 1:24:43
  And if we go back to the Four Horsemen version there.
• 1:24:48
  So now Mad Max vibes off this guy.
• 1:24:52
  Yeah, he's fantastic. He's he's all sorts, isn't he's?
• 1:24:56
  Yeah, you could say so. I've got post apocalyptic vibes.
• 1:24:59
  He's also got like real dark fantasy vibes.
• 1:25:04
  Just a gruesome looking character and I really, really
• 1:25:07
  like him. I've this one.
• 1:25:12
  I don't necessarily feel like in the previous two years that's
• 1:25:16
  not actually true. Last year I very much wanted the
• 1:25:19
  exclusive heads. This year I'm not so first,
• 1:25:23
  although he's probably going to come in a different box because
• 1:25:27
  he's not warrior beasts. So you have.
• 1:25:33
  To see how that looks, yeah, that's why.
• 1:25:35
  I've I'm probably going to try and obtain.
• 1:25:38
  Yeah. One of the con exclusive ones.
• 1:25:41
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the way this works is that
• 1:25:44
  it's available at Zolocon, I think directly.
• 1:25:48
  If you go directly to the Zolocon website, you can book
• 1:25:51
  your tickets for for the con itself and and you can then
• 1:25:58
  order the figures to pick up. I think you can order a certain
• 1:26:03
  number. I don't know if you know if
• 1:26:04
  there's a limit to be honest. And and then post that the
• 1:26:10
  standard version without the exclusive heads.
• 1:26:12
  So there are two translucent heads here, kind of white
• 1:26:14
  translucent. So this is probably the one, the
• 1:26:18
  first one that really I think as Mal says, the exclusive heads
• 1:26:22
  are not that essential to the character.
• 1:26:29
  They're just plain white translucent.
• 1:26:33
  What do you think of this one, Rich?
• 1:26:34
  You're very quiet there. I am.
• 1:26:36
  I still can't decide on this one to be honest.
• 1:26:39
  There's always quite a barbarian vibe going, which you know,
• 1:26:42
  without sounding predictable. Not hugely fan of but I do like
• 1:26:46
  the Executioner I. Was going to say that I'm.
• 1:26:48
  Thinking that's more my thing. So I could see myself getting
• 1:26:52
  one of these just to have the execution of I and I do love the
• 1:26:55
  hand with the yeah. And that's, that's very cool.
• 1:26:59
  The hand with the orb is. I really like that redhead as
• 1:27:02
  well with the green eyes. It says something about it, but
• 1:27:05
  I'll probably display him with the hood and the the creepy eye
• 1:27:08
  peering out of it and we get another.
• 1:27:12
  Rat to add to our rat collection, Yeah.
• 1:27:14
  Never have too many. Rats, black and white rat.
• 1:27:18
  Yeah, so. And they're going to be
• 1:27:21
  offspring of Mouse King there. Obviously we've got the the, you
• 1:27:24
  know, the human sized rat now. So do we need?
• 1:27:26
  A Kirby Smith did a post in the Cabal I saw today cataloguing
• 1:27:31
  all the rats that we have got so far.
• 1:27:33
  They can do the level display of all the rats.
• 1:27:36
  Yeah, so there you go. Including the gold rat from the
• 1:27:41
  Armoury Experience this year. Yeah, somebody was starting to
• 1:27:44
  get upset that that the surprise that masking had been spoiled
• 1:27:48
  and that it was the gold rat. Someone's not paying attention.
• 1:27:55
  It's OK, Yeah. Well, you know what?
• 1:27:57
  Sometimes it would be good to be that, to be that kind of
• 1:28:01
  oblivious to a lot of the stuff. Sometimes it's more fun than.
• 1:28:07
  Yeah, I think. I think he's cool.
• 1:28:08
  I love the Red Skull. I love that hand thing and I
• 1:28:13
  love the unhelmeted hood. I'm not the hood is a bit It's
• 1:28:19
  OK normally take it happen without.
• 1:28:22
  Can't you? I mean, you look without.
• 1:28:24
  To be honest, there's a there's a really cool sculpt by I think
• 1:28:27
  it's old skull customs, an executioner head that would work
• 1:28:31
  really well with us. Really.
• 1:28:33
  That's cool. Obviously we painted that run
• 1:28:35
  the soft goods would, but yeah. Now, based on the source
• 1:28:39
  material, I think they've, they've really translated it
• 1:28:42
  well to, to this to the legions build or whatever.
• 1:28:45
  So, yeah, very cool. And uh, so, so first kind of
• 1:28:50
  thing to look forward to early next year.
• 1:28:52
  So yeah, yeah. In terms of people going to
• 1:28:55
  Zolocon, so Zolocon is in Pennsylvania I believe, so over
• 1:29:01
  that East Coast of not far from Forestman really.
• 1:29:06
  So if you're in anywhere in that in that general area, quite a
• 1:29:10
  populated part of the United States.
• 1:29:12
  So sure many people are. So that's it for this week and
• 1:29:19
  next week we're going to have the figure of the year awards
• 1:29:24
  all going well. If there if something changes in
• 1:29:27
  the meantime, obviously you find out then, but in the meantime,
• 1:29:31
  get in your, shall we say top five or top 10 four horsemen
• 1:29:36
  figures the the folks can send in.
• 1:29:40
  Let's say they're top five, because if we do top ten, if we
• 1:29:42
  get a few when we get top ten, then I could take a long time to
• 1:29:47
  read them all. Which is called the bottom 5.
• 1:29:50
  Actually, top five by 10 into top three if we run out of.
• 1:29:52
  Top five or top 10 and especially if if you know, if
• 1:29:55
  you're a patron, definitely top ten.
• 1:29:58
  Put as many as you like, to be honest.
• 1:30:00
  And yeah. And I think 4 horsemen related
• 1:30:03
  figures. So we will obviously have the
• 1:30:06
  various categories like we've had before.
• 1:30:09
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. As we have a spreadsheet would
• 1:30:13
  you believe which has probably filled it out already.
• 1:30:16
  I haven't actually no been stupid as youth work recently
• 1:30:20
  much. I'll send it over so we're all
• 1:30:22
  on the same page. I need to actually go back over
• 1:30:26
  last year. I did so well last year.
• 1:30:29
  Well, some of us AK me mean keeping screenshots.
• 1:30:34
  I thought I had, but it must have all just been last year
• 1:30:37
  still in my head. And yeah, you can.
• 1:30:41
  Do, you know, if you're sending them in, you can obviously do
• 1:30:44
  figures that came this year and you can also do figures that
• 1:30:49
  have been revealed this year as you like.
• 1:30:51
  Yeah. Or mixture both.
• 1:30:54
  And radio. That's us for another week.
• 1:30:59
  Almost kept it to the 90 minutes.
• 1:31:01
  That's not bad. That's not bad.
• 1:31:07
  Stay safe out there everybody. Remember, if you see a giant
• 1:31:10
  walrus pirate heading towards you, you're probably drunk, so
• 1:31:13
  don't worry too much.
