Transcript
- 0:07My wallet Welcome to episode 102 of the
- 0:38Religions Podcast, and we're back as a trio this week.
- 0:42Welcome back, Rich. How are you doing?
- 0:44Hey everybody, I'm good. Thank you.
- 0:46Yes, as opposed to last week where I literally couldn't move
- 0:48because of 6 SO. What happened in What happened
- 0:50in Birmingham then with man? Wasn't Birmingham he treated me
- 0:55rough. No no I went for a massage.
- 1:00Hormones problems with my back so I went for a massage and my
- 1:03massage therapist is 6 foot 6 and he beat the living crap at
- 1:06me basically with a deep tissue massage and I I was in so much
- 1:10pain last week it was ridiculous.
- 1:13So it seems to have worked and my back's feeling better this
- 1:15week. OK, I think it did the one game
- 1:17thing was it? Yeah, just extremely painful at
- 1:20the time. Well, no pain, no gain, I
- 1:22suppose. Exactly.
- 1:23Say that. Great.
- 1:25And you got your David Williams T-shirts on supporting.
- 1:28I do. Yeah.
- 1:28On the group, yeah. Somebody asked me in work today
- 1:31if that was me. I was like, well I'm not undead
- 1:33for starters, so now I take offence at that, but there we
- 1:35go. I wish it was me.
- 1:37Yeah. And how you do, Mal?
- 1:42Yeah. You started this last week when
- 1:44I was there. It's.
- 1:50Been a busy old week this week. Yeah, they've.
- 1:54Been worked too hard, but the British government, I mean, you
- 1:56know. Oh seriously, I could.
- 1:59The way things are at the moment.
- 1:59This week I could not work Friday and sort of comfortably
- 2:02done my hours. So I don't like this.
- 2:04This is not. Well, this week we're going to
- 2:07talk a little bit of the news, which is the first couple of
- 2:10retailer we fix by the time this drops on Friday, they'll
- 2:14probably be one more revealed if they reveal one on the Thursday
- 2:16this week. But we got the 1st, 2:00 and
- 2:20then we'll do, we're going to do what we're going to try and do
- 2:23every month is do a third party parts news kind of slot or you
- 2:29know where we go through the new drops from the different third
- 2:32parties. We thought monthly might be a
- 2:34good cadence for that where there is actually stuff to talk
- 2:37about and probably new, new stuff mightn't be the same
- 2:41people every month of course, because it depends what drops.
- 2:44And yeah, Rich, you were so busy today and you were kind of the
- 2:47one who was leading the the gathering effort on that.
- 2:51So I was getting a bit worried that I was going to have to
- 2:53scramble and see what I could find.
- 2:56Oh, you're right. I sent you through about 400
- 2:58pictures, didn't I? So.
- 3:00We got there. Yeah, half an hour ago.
- 3:02So if the slideshow is is a little bit wonky.
- 3:05It'll be fine. I'm sorry, normally, normally
- 3:08I'd have had the time to like crop them and get them all
- 3:10looking like, it's like no click, click, click, click,
- 3:12click. I did that.
- 3:14Thank you, John. Yes, so, so if you are, if you
- 3:19are a third party provider and you have new stuff, send it in
- 3:22to us and you can get a son on the Messenger or Instagram or
- 3:27indeed.theallegiancepodcast@gmail.com. We should probably say, say
- 3:31we're planning to do it once a month, so it might be a couple
- 3:33of. Weeks, we did say that.
- 3:35I did just say that. Wake up now, Jesus.
- 3:38I'm. Listening.
- 3:39He's not listening. Welcome to the sleepathon with
- 3:43Mal, everybody. Yeah, it's like, you know, OK,
- 3:46but Mal's on the podcast, but he doesn't listen to it.
- 3:48But then he also doesn't listen to it while he's on the podcast.
- 3:52That's the, that's the next level.
- 3:54Next level. Pete McCarthy, there you go.
- 3:57That's the next level. Just don't even listen when
- 3:59you're on the show. So.
- 4:04And I'm not, I didn't that one out, sorry.
- 4:06You'd have to transfer me some cash to that one that's.
- 4:09Too good. I mean too.
- 4:12So anyway, before my wasn't this thing.
- 4:15You interrupted me. Yeah.
- 4:17If you are a third party or if you see, if you're a fan of the
- 4:20show and you see third party parts that we haven't talked
- 4:24about and that you'd like us to talk about in our little monthly
- 4:27slot that we're going to do, you know, drop us a line, send us a
- 4:32a note and we'll take a look. And if we'd like them, we'll
- 4:37definitely put them in the show. And even if we don't like them
- 4:39and you really like them, we will include them in the show,
- 4:42you know? Is it wrong?
- 4:44Like, I'm actually quite angry you've made that announcement,
- 4:46John, because it's like, no, I want to do it all.
- 4:47They can start off. Yeah, and when the British
- 4:51government is working into the bone, I think it's true.
- 4:54Thankful of. This is very true.
- 4:57And to be fair, they might just drop in and go oh X and YZ
- 5:00company has just released a new orc orc head scope.
- 5:03You should check that out. There's still a lot of gathering
- 5:06to go there, you know? This is true.
- 5:08I mean obviously if anyone sees any barbarian stuff, don't
- 5:11bother. Just, you know.
- 5:12Send that into man. Don't.
- 5:13Bother sending that to us? No, no need.
- 5:15Still send barbarian stuff. Ignore Rich.
- 5:18Absolutely. Especially naked torsos and
- 5:20stuff like that. Send them to Rich.
- 5:25Wondered where we were going with that one.
- 5:27Anything. It's fine.
- 5:29It's fine. He'll bring them to his massage
- 5:33therapist and say, how do I look like this?
- 5:37He's a massage therapist, not a wizard.
- 5:41Oh, he's not in the convocation, Basilia, No.
- 5:43As far as I'm aware, no. Because then he, I suppose he
- 5:46maybe he is in the House of Noble Bear because he stands and
- 5:49smashes you up as opposed to like giving you a magic potion.
- 5:53This is true and he is massive, but he's quite lanky so I'm not
- 5:56sure he you know they're all bodybuilder show offs aren't
- 5:59they? In the house, the noble bear.
- 6:00So you might. You know there's a there's an
- 6:02opportunity for some skinnier build by Vikings in the future.
- 6:06Maybe you know then you under 3 point O book, who knows.
- 6:10I'm just worried, you know? Does he have double jointed
- 6:12knees and elbows? So if he did to me, I'd say yes.
- 6:17But no, I'm just waiting for. I'm waiting for an drug testing
- 6:26comes into me that legions and all the the roid induced
- 6:29Barbarians just have to leave. Like we're sorry we let you
- 6:32down. We're leaving our actual figures
- 6:33now. Sounds like a plan, right?
- 6:39Shall we have a look at the news?
- 6:40So the retailer wave was announced.
- 6:43So that's the first bit of news here.
- 6:46And the first two that we know so far are figure obscure
- 6:50repaints. The gods have enjoyed Egypt
- 6:53coming separately I think is the first news so that's pretty cool
- 6:56though. Yep.
- 6:58Definitely good. And this is the third year for
- 7:04this retail arrive and the February the 14th Valentine's
- 7:11Day is when it's going to be up for order the retailer.
- 7:15So things are moving pretty fast.
- 7:16You have the heads packs coming this weekend and Sunday. 7th
- 7:21isn't it? That's the 7th I think so.
- 7:26Yeah, that's that's Friday the 7th.
- 7:30Actually interesting to see the book.
- 7:33It's gone up for ordering a lot of retailers.
- 7:36Same price, which was very interesting and the Legion
- 7:39builder is just 35 as opposed to what people might have expected
- 7:45more to be around the was it 44 was normally previous Legion
- 7:48builders at or 40 sometimes and that seems to be possibly the
- 7:54new price for Legion builders at retail, which would be great
- 7:57news. That's that.
- 7:57'D be fantastic. Really good news.
- 8:00Yeah, that would maybe make some choices a bit easier on what to
- 8:03get direction, what to get retailers in the future.
- 8:06Anyway, this guy Bastet, sorry, man.
- 8:09Yeah, I was just. Going to say I noticed that Big
- 8:12Bad have a 22% sale on mythics and cosmics starting.
- 8:19It was either today or in the next couple of days as well.
- 8:23Oh really? Yeah.
- 8:25Interesting. I.
- 8:28Still haven't released my I still haven't released my pile
- 8:30of loot to David yet. Once you've supported your local
- 8:35retailer then go and have a look at Big Bad.
- 8:39That'll be my advice. Yes, Big Bad will be fine.
- 8:43So, oh, breaking breaking news. Sorry John, I've just gone on
- 8:47our only UK official retailer and the Legion builders are not
- 8:51$35, they are £43 which is equivalent of about $50.50.
- 8:58Dollars. So I kind of think we're getting
- 9:00a bit of a rough deal on those. You are?
- 9:03Yeah, A. Little bit, yeah, they're, yeah,
- 9:06they're shaftiness in the nicest possible way.
- 9:10In the nicest possible way. So this guy Anubis, Black
- 9:17version, black and blue, they say.
- 9:19So black skin obviously, and the blue garments and various things
- 9:26you see there. Just all the stuff you get.
- 9:30They've started to put this picture first in the post.
- 9:33I love it. So interesting.
- 9:37With Anubis, you get the big thing for the big kind of casket
- 9:42on the sticks, and with Bestat you're going to get most of the,
- 9:48what are they called? The the jars, Canopic jars.
- 9:51Yeah. All repainted.
- 9:55Yes, all repainted. Yeah, there's interest.
- 9:57So this was gold from the original, this this casket and
- 10:01now it's and the dog was kind of a black colour.
- 10:04Now the dog is gold and this is like sandstone or something like
- 10:08that. I'm sorry, The dog.
- 10:11The Jackal, you mean? The Jackal.
- 10:13Sorry. Good.
- 10:14Lord, we did the entire episode on Egyptian culture.
- 10:17Yeah, that's the one I didn't listen to.
- 10:24That's that's stuff you studied, you know.
- 10:27This is true, yeah. And so there you get a good look
- 10:32at the Anubis himself. So what do you guys think of
- 10:36this repaint? Is it a preferable or what's
- 10:40the? I prefer the the black skin
- 10:45colour to the original. I love the original, but I
- 10:47prefer the black skin colour I'd say.
- 10:50But the rest of it is a bit too muted for my liking.
- 10:54I can understand completely why there went lots of different
- 10:57Blues and that sort of stuff, but a punch of red or just
- 11:00something. Yeah, like you look at the
- 11:02original and it's just got that red that just gives it that
- 11:04proper little kick to it. And while they couldn't do
- 11:07exactly the same, obviously, I think some some of the different
- 11:09colour I think would have worked better than just the the various
- 11:13blue colourings. Yeah, but I do love the fact
- 11:17that I was going to say as well, I do love the fact the head's
- 11:20the same colour as the body too. I think it worked really well
- 11:23the original one with the darker head.
- 11:25But actually, yeah, I really like the fact you can do that
- 11:28with this one. Yeah, yeah.
- 11:31With the darker head on the original, with the with the kind
- 11:34of more brown skinned body, does that kind of more suggest that
- 11:39might be more like a helmet than you know, or more like a kind of
- 11:44a mask? No, generally in the in the
- 11:46mythology he was portrayed like that.
- 11:49So it's very much like a, you know, just a dark head on top of
- 11:52a human esque looking coloured body sort of thing.
- 11:55So, so that ties in with that, but I really like the black
- 12:00colouring. I think that that works really
- 12:01well as a figure. Yeah, and you male?
- 12:04Exactly the exactly the same feeling as rich.
- 12:06I love the black colouring of the the skin tone and it you
- 12:11know, and matching the head. But yeah, the I like the red and
- 12:15blue combination on the original one for its not armour.
- 12:20What would you call it? The top and the the trimmings.
- 12:25So yeah, but yeah, again, as rich there's I understand why
- 12:30they've they've done what they've done.
- 12:31They can't make it exactly the same.
- 12:32So you. Know I was still going to get at
- 12:35least two of these because I really like the figure, you
- 12:39know. So in that case, you know, in
- 12:41that respect, they've done well. They've sold two to me.
- 12:44And I think, you know, if you look at how they did the Monkey
- 12:47King and retailer, this is very much along those lines where
- 12:52they changed the skin tone. And then they I kept this color
- 12:56scheme of the, you know, the garments and all that relatively
- 12:59similar with just slight differences, maybe maybe
- 13:04slightly more differences here than Monkey King in that they
- 13:07they went, OK, there was this blue on both of them.
- 13:09They went more to the blue, whereas the Monkey King stayed
- 13:12in the kind of red and you know, area, you know, But for me, this
- 13:18is a you know, it's a great opportunity to get this figure
- 13:21in his own. If he if he just liked Anubis or
- 13:23best or if he just wanted the the you know, the 1.0 book and
- 13:27not the 2.0 or vice versa. This is a great opportunity
- 13:31here. I'm glad they didn't do them in
- 13:33two pack because I think this is this will sell more you know I.
- 13:37Wonder actually if that blue around the waist and on is
- 13:44actually more green than it possibly looks there.
- 13:49It's like a teal, isn't it? Yeah, possibly.
- 13:51It's got a teal look, isn't it? Yeah.
- 13:52Yeah, Yeah. So actually maybe in person
- 13:55it'll there'll be a bit more contrast.
- 13:58Is that the right way that to the colours than it feels like
- 14:01there is, yeah. Yeah.
- 14:04I mean, yeah, I'm I'm the studio lights it.
- 14:07Sometimes the contrast can be hard to come through.
- 14:11There is subtle contrast, the big.
- 14:12Contrast. Don't slap down that route,
- 14:14we're going to say it could turn out not to be blue, it could be
- 14:16green. I was trying to say that without
- 14:21saying. It just teasing Trevor, but no
- 14:26actually thinking about it too the the teal sort of colour.
- 14:28It's just dawned on me now that I've got a couple of or three
- 14:32figures inspired, unlike the the Warhammer Tomb Kings, and that
- 14:35sort of teal colour was very prominent in those.
- 14:37So I can use these bits to time with that.
- 14:40So in that respect, that's great.
- 14:41Super 14 more on order then. Those days have gone, but it
- 14:47might be bumping up from 2. So yeah, there's the comparison.
- 14:53I think that's probably the most interesting picture, best set.
- 14:57Now she's quite different and I think in comparison, we'll have
- 15:04a look here in a minute. Same also definitely.
- 15:07So the the canopic jars, they match the tomb from the previous
- 15:12from Anubis and they just look great.
- 15:14And those accessories of people are trading the accessories like
- 15:19they do that. That'd be great one to pick up
- 15:23for for Dios and stuff. Even if you're just creating a
- 15:28like a desert wasteland for Cosmic Mail, you know, this kind
- 15:31of stuff would be very interesting on the shelf.
- 15:36But yeah, very nice looking figure here.
- 15:42What do you think of the colour scheme here Rich for?
- 15:45Her I really like this on her actually, more so probably than
- 15:47Anubis. I like the blackhead.
- 15:50I think that would work really well on the original body
- 15:53because obviously they were sort of blue tone, weren't they the
- 15:55the bastard heads originally? I think this black, I think this
- 15:58black one will actually work better on the original 1 yes, be
- 16:04a bit more faithful to you know, to the the original depictions
- 16:08and that sort of stuff. I love the black limbs.
- 16:11This has overnight instantly solved my problem about what I
- 16:14was going to do with that shadow mine.
- 16:15That's all head that you painted for me, John, which we agreed
- 16:17was a little too small for a 1.0, but it's black.
- 16:20So an outfit perfectly on one of these when I when I get and I
- 16:24love the red robes. I think they're really good and
- 16:27they are making me regret slightly that I sold a Red
- 16:30Riding Hood style head that legions con which would have
- 16:32gone really well with those robes and I sold it so well done
- 16:37whoever bought that one. I can't remember who it was, but
- 16:39well done the. Red Riding Hood parts here with
- 16:43the step you've. Just sold me another one.
- 16:49Do we have a is it does Callie and Shun?
- 16:51Does she come with a kind of a red Cape?
- 16:53She does. It's a bit more of a burnt
- 16:55orange. Red.
- 16:57Yeah, it's like a burnt orange, isn't it?
- 16:58Yeah, but you can make that work.
- 16:59Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:00Or. Soft goods, you know, red soft
- 17:03goods. Cape for regions.
- 17:04Khan somebody? Yep.
- 17:06And we got all her bits there. I'm sure Darla will be on it.
- 17:09Yep, absolutely. She makes great capes.
- 17:15Yeah, so I really like this one. I think the red and blue is
- 17:18really striking together. Looks really good.
- 17:23Again, another same comment as the last one.
- 17:25Just a great opportunity to get this figure as a single.
- 17:30There's $70.00, so that is something to consider.
- 17:35Let's say you you get the value in the stuff, but if you when
- 17:39you already have the figure, that is a decision to make.
- 17:42And $70.00 for custom fodder can also be tricky.
- 17:48Ask unless you really have some solid custom ideas with them,
- 17:53you know. Basically UK customizers because
- 17:55let's face it, $70.00 will translate to 90 LB on Emporium
- 17:58McCall. I mean.
- 18:01Might be doing the, might be doing the group order again this
- 18:03year, yeah. I've just checked they've got
- 18:07the book as well on Emporium McCall and it's 60. 50.
- 18:11So the equipment about $75.00. So they've hoofed that up as
- 18:15well. So it's like, OK.
- 18:18Wow, they must really be getting a bad deal.
- 18:24Yeah, I don't mean that. Don't worry about.
- 18:26It every, every retailer needs to do what they need to do.
- 18:28Like I totally get that. Yeah, it's just that they're the
- 18:32only one, you know, So that's that's why it's a little bit
- 18:35competition. You know, there's three, there's
- 18:38a bit 3 or 4 retailers in Germany.
- 18:40So they tend to stick to the retail price.
- 18:44It's suggested retail price, you know, at the highest.
- 18:50So that's beset. Then we had Necronominus all in.
- 18:57So these aren't my pictures unfortunately.
- 18:59Yet our good friend Kevin Boots was posting these in our
- 19:03discourse and I think he posted some of them on the Cabal as
- 19:06well. So he got his Necronominus all
- 19:08in. They have arrived at the
- 19:11Forestman warehouse, the all Inns and I think the other
- 19:15trucks are what are they called containers are coming in in the
- 19:20next couple of days or over the next days.
- 19:22So people they they seem to get a load them out pretty quickly
- 19:27and people are getting their all insurance.
- 19:29I haven't had a shipping notice yet.
- 19:31I won't ask you Rich, because not relevant to you, but now any
- 19:35lucky? No, I have a feeling it might be
- 19:39left till the very end because I I think it was the last time I
- 19:43ordered an all in and a few other things before they
- 19:46announced stop doing that. Yeah.
- 19:51So these look great. So that's the all in box
- 19:54obviously. You want to see Sir?
- 19:56Look Jack, and was the first picture you got through from
- 20:00Kevin? I think a lot of people seem to
- 20:03go for him first I guess. Big figure.
- 20:06And when we got the hands on you so big.
- 20:11It's so big. Yeah, he looks great, really,
- 20:15really great. And Sir Gideon looks Dorothea
- 20:19has a review of him that I have today.
- 20:23He's very impressed. I think he's basically saying
- 20:27that this is, you know, kind of Mezco almost level quality and
- 20:32you're getting it for it was A50 retail and we got the direct
- 20:35pre-order for less than that of see.
- 20:38That he see somebody say had a removable faceplate as well.
- 20:41Yes. So, yeah.
- 20:44So if it's the same plug as the other removable head plates,
- 20:49then people just stick a skeleton face in there and
- 20:52whatever else comes out, it'll create.
- 20:56I love this head sculpt on the right Dion helmeted head.
- 20:59Yes. It's just so well done, you
- 21:02know? It's it's, it's right up there
- 21:04with the Attila and head and helmeted head isn't.
- 21:09Yeah, that's the new kind of standard, isn't it?
- 21:11Seems to be. Two neck pegs all of these come
- 21:15with both the same. I don't know why.
- 21:18There's obviously a reason for that but won't say no.
- 21:22Always handy to have an extra neck peg and they're but they're
- 21:25what they're the ones that go forward and back as well as the
- 21:30just the regular neck peg and just so much detail on the arm
- 21:36armor and all that kind of stuff.
- 21:38The soft goods are two piece on him.
- 21:41So the top part and the bottom part are separate even though
- 21:44they look the same and the the top piece is kind of elasticated
- 21:48and goes slightly under the torso.
- 21:51So that's how it works. And the bottom part is wired.
- 21:55So yeah, so good. Those those feathers are new as
- 22:00well on the helmet, even though they look similar to the old
- 22:03ones and even more detailed paint and detailed sculpt on
- 22:08them and everything. So really cool.
- 22:10And his shield. I mean, look at his shield and
- 22:12the belts. Yeah.
- 22:15Incredible figure, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 22:19I'm happy for everybody else and furious myself.
- 22:21I won't get this long. It is one of those isn't it?
- 22:25Like Oh my God, how worth it to wait.
- 22:27Yeah, it'll be worth, it'll be worth it, Sir Elijah as well.
- 22:30And he looks also awesome. I mean that that face gulp is so
- 22:36well painted and yes, so good. You get loads of stuff with him.
- 22:42You get the skeleton face plate as well, so that's where we're
- 22:46saying if the face plates are, if they're the same plug
- 22:49adapter. Now of course customizers will
- 22:53be able to GM it in there somehow, but if it's easy for
- 22:58everybody to just to plug it in, that would be more amazing.
- 23:01His armour is definitely darker than what we've got before, so
- 23:05it's nice to get a new armour color and you obviously get all
- 23:09the awesome soft goods Templars Shields over the boss.
- 23:13On it, it looks so good. Yeah, so these are like
- 23:17prototypes, but they're the factory figures.
- 23:19It's amazing even. I mean, it's it's a bit
- 23:22hyperbolic to say better than the prototypes, but I don't
- 23:26know. I mean, obviously they're better
- 23:29in that you can articulate them and play with them.
- 23:31But yes, somehow they they're just vibrant.
- 23:36Sir Adel Wreck as well. Bit of a sleeper one maybe for
- 23:41this wave, but I think one that people appreciate in hand.
- 23:47I think he's in trouble, Max Ilyas is sneaking up behind him
- 23:49there with that side, he's in trouble.
- 23:54He is indeed. And yeah, Jeremy did say on a
- 23:58comment one of the Sir Adrick posts, he said that he was not
- 24:03ordered in as big quantities as some of the rest of them.
- 24:05So he might be a little one that's worth picking up if you
- 24:10if you like him because he might disappear at retailers sooner
- 24:14than later. So good to admit that.
- 24:18Surprised. Me, that surprised me with the
- 24:20colours. I'd have thought those colours a
- 24:22lot of people were, you know, wanted because they sort of
- 24:25match colours we've had in the past.
- 24:29I think if he was, you know, a figure in, you know, in a kind
- 24:34of a repay wave and this was the new figure, Yeah, he'd be
- 24:37ordered in huge quantities. But because he came without
- 24:41these author awesome nights, people had to make decisions,
- 24:44you know? Yeah, True.
- 24:46And. And probably the army builders
- 24:48are going to go for Sir Elijah there, aren't they?
- 24:53You know, Yeah. Definitely.
- 24:55There's Gideon and the horse and I think this mount is going to
- 24:58be the best kind of nightmare because of all the soft goods
- 25:02and the armor and everything. Just incredible.
- 25:07Like I was shown my kid Ben, this these pictures this
- 25:12afternoon. He was like, he was drawing the
- 25:15floor like, Oh my God. And then he looks, he goes, you
- 25:17getting these? Yeah.
- 25:19And then he was just so. Yeah, you'll be having a play
- 25:26with them as well. And yeah.
- 25:29I mean, what an incredible horse.
- 25:31That's Bishop. He is a great bio as well, isn't
- 25:34he? A few thousand Britain, poor
- 25:37little fella, ill in a stable. Yeah, don't worry, man.
- 25:41We, we, we want to do the BIOS tonight.
- 25:43We, we'll go back, we'll do a full kind of review and the BIOS
- 25:48and all that when we. Get may when I get more.
- 25:50Decent hands. No, Richard.
- 25:54We'll tell you how good they are.
- 25:57There's the main man himself, Nick Chronominus.
- 25:59He looks so impressive. He looks so good there.
- 26:03Yeah, you know, I just see this. He's out-of-the-box.
- 26:08Kevin has managed to get them all together and everything.
- 26:10So, you know, not as fiddly as I'd imagined maybe.
- 26:13So that's that bodes well. And he's up in post.
- 26:18They're pretty. He's in Eastern in the box.
- 26:20There's maximum maxillas and cannabis.
- 26:26Perfect combination. I'm just imagining what how I'm
- 26:30going to do that five cannabis shelf that I've ordered forms
- 26:35like, oh, it's going to be fun. Cannabis has been he's a he's a
- 26:39big one for you rich, isn't he? Yeah, so I ordered five of them,
- 26:43one to turn into a Centaur and the other 4 for like a group of
- 26:47like, yeah. Dead.
- 26:49So they were all done through retailer, yeah.
- 26:51Yeah, wow, yes, I didn't order anything for so I'll be waiting
- 26:57for everything. Balloon it.
- 27:00She looks so the dog looks amazing and yeah.
- 27:03So that's well see, I'm going to create, I'm going to pedant you
- 27:07seen as a bit rich pedant me on the dog.
- 27:09It's a chimera, apparently. I'm Mira, yes, OK.
- 27:15I own. I'm only doing that because
- 27:16because Rich did. It's amazing, you know?
- 27:18Just no, we have to actually, it's.
- 27:19True. Yeah, it is a chimera.
- 27:21It's a chimera. And those are 1.0 heads.
- 27:25I think we know that from the heads back, but just a nice
- 27:28little reminder. So that's that's really cool
- 27:33that you can pop them on figures and on the tubercula and all
- 27:37that kind of stuff. It's.
- 27:40Not essentially, isn't it just looking at these that these are,
- 27:43these are actual figures, these are, you know, OK, they're not
- 27:48the actual figures that, but compare this to 90% to what's
- 27:54out there and it's just, there's nothing even close, is there?
- 27:59It's. Not looking at statues almost
- 28:02and the except you can play with them and move they.
- 28:05Look at Marvel Legends or this or, you know, Master Verse or
- 28:09this, you know, they're cool figures for the nostalgia and
- 28:13the characters and all that. And you know, some of them are,
- 28:15you know, really quite good figures.
- 28:17But yeah, just the the level of detail and kind of paint and
- 28:23everything and sculpt on these is really cool.
- 28:29Yeah. So these were the ones that
- 28:30Kevin had managed to open. So there is a couple of missing
- 28:33there. The tubercle, obviously the the
- 28:36undead builder pack. So well, you'll see them in the
- 28:40cabal. He also took this amazing photo
- 28:44posted to his Instagram of Gideon on the horse and Sir Jack
- 28:48out in the snow. So Kevin still has a bit of snow
- 28:51around there. And he says they're on the run.
- 28:55They always come before a check. So yeah, there's a nice little
- 29:01story there on his Instagram post.
- 29:04And yeah, I'm going to use this Ask Kevin.
- 29:07I'm going to use this picture in the episode thumbnail this week.
- 29:12So you'll see that there in some shape or form.
- 29:15So yeah, a lot to look forward to this and Necronominus going
- 29:19to be popping popping through into the mailbox for me and Mal
- 29:25quite soon. So my my birthday's in June, so
- 29:33it'll work really well. The timing will be perfect.
- 29:37It will, yeah. While we have your ritual, what
- 29:41was your kind of overall opinion on the cosmic heads back?
- 29:47I really liked it. My keep cosmetium human free
- 29:55belief scuppers the female head back obviously so I won't be
- 29:59purchasing that. But I thought the snakes was was
- 30:01genius and I really liked the way it looked on the the olek in
- 30:05a space suit rather than the bare chested olek.
- 30:07I thought that looked really good.
- 30:09Surely you could purchase the head pack for mythics as well
- 30:12though? I could do that, then I'd know
- 30:14what they were designed for. So I'd feel like I was cheating
- 30:16on myself, cheating on my principles.
- 30:22Hashtag. I probably will buy them but.
- 30:25Man who has about 400 custom heads designed for whatever.
- 30:31No, I really like them. No, the Kragner 1 was was a
- 30:33great one sort of thing that was that was a no brainer.
- 30:37I've gone completely blank on the other two.
- 30:38What were the other ones? Snake, an Indian Head and the.
- 30:43Yeah, yeah. Got an Indian specs in specs in
- 30:45heads. I really like the specs in ones
- 30:47actually. That would be really good to get
- 30:48the blocks. Yeah, really good to get the
- 30:50block commander in that sort of armoured look.
- 30:52That'd be great, yeah. It's great to get helmets isn't
- 30:56it for them so you can turn them into soldiers for those
- 31:00different ones and the and the Greyborn heads.
- 31:05Well, I was actually, I'm not the biggest Greyborn fan in the
- 31:07world, but actually I really quite the one with the paint on
- 31:10and everything. I thought I was an excellent
- 31:12looking head. So yeah.
- 31:13So I will get in that as well. Get him with he's another.
- 31:16So they've got 22 Greyborn with the kind of painted heads, so it
- 31:21seems to be a thing with them. So we might get a few more and
- 31:24if we get Grey Bourne in the future we might get a head
- 31:26sculpts with different stuff painted on.
- 31:28Them I mean, what I would say to to to Eric and and all his
- 31:31painters is you clearly did the Union Jack with the first Gray
- 31:34born head disappointed. This one was just plain white.
- 31:37So I'm looking forward to the Welsh flag on the third one,
- 31:39yes. It's going to be the Scottish
- 31:42Saltire, isn't it? It probably will be, yeah.
- 31:44It's a bit easier. Not that the horseman's painters
- 31:50would shirk from drawing. Not at all.
- 31:52Dragon on. That no.
- 31:53And it will, it will help my campaign of hashtag mate cause
- 31:55Miriam Welsh, I can start that. How much the factory is going to
- 32:00charge for? Oh God, yeah.
- 32:02Can you imagine the intricacies of trying to do a dragon?
- 32:04I'm sure they'd have to do a some sort of a stencil or a
- 32:08stamp or something maybe, yeah. Right.
- 32:12We're talking as if it's like likely, yeah, they can do the
- 32:14Welsh dragon on it. Absolutely.
- 32:15We can. We can always speculate, you
- 32:17know, that's the fun, right? Shall we go into?
- 32:21Because this might take a while, Listeners, you know, buckle in
- 32:24there. Buckle in there.
- 32:26Take a machine the Cheat Sheets. Right, that's cheating.
- 32:34Cheating third party Scotts. Hey, this is Corn Boy from 4
- 32:43Horsemen Toy Design, and you're listening to the Euro Legions
- 32:46podcast. Right here we go.
- 32:49First up, we have MO Away sculpts and these are available
- 32:53at Mark Calvo's website, Calvo Custom Creations.
- 32:59So MO Away is this guy, Is it Diego Rodriguez?
- 33:03Diego something? Yeah, I can't remember his
- 33:05surname. And he has a paint a Patreon
- 33:08that sells scopes, I guess, to people to 3D print.
- 33:11And the EFC sells the scopes with a license to sell them, you
- 33:16know, as prints to to people as well.
- 33:18Like Jason Rodriguez does that as well.
- 33:21I think. So Mark generally picks them up.
- 33:25And these are some great ones here.
- 33:28So we've got a bulldog and we've got some sort of dragon born.
- 33:36You. You tell me, Rich.
- 33:39On my mute, yes. So it's pitbulls on the left
- 33:42hand side of the screen as we're looking at them.
- 33:45There's like an angry face, a calm face.
- 33:49One of them's got Mohican, as all pitbulls have.
- 33:53I think that's an ogre scale as well.
- 33:54The Pitbull one I think the lion's been crying out for.
- 33:57I think in my head the lion's been crying out for some dog
- 34:01anthropomorphic characters for a while now.
- 34:03This is good to see. Good to see one in there.
- 34:07We've got Dobermans from Punchy Dog Toys didn't we?
- 34:11So it's nice to have another another breed of hound in there.
- 34:14Yeah, Wolf King had some had a dog sculptors, well didn't they,
- 34:17with the with the kind of colour.
- 34:21I don't remember. That yeah.
- 34:23And it was, it came, it came in two ways.
- 34:26One was it had a kind of a pin or like a plug coming out of it
- 34:30that you could put onto like an armored body.
- 34:32And then they later released it where you could put a like a
- 34:37head and neck posed into it. So OK.
- 34:41And then on the right hand side of the screen, this is it's sort
- 34:45of like a dragon dinosaur cross, to be honest.
- 34:48So they're they're titled Carnosaurus, Trisaurus and
- 34:55Warriorsaurus and Soldiersaurus. So you can see a theme going
- 34:59with the names there. But it's, it's basically, yeah,
- 35:04it's, I think it's meant to be a dragon, but the, the, the
- 35:07sculpture and the features very much of a dinosaur sort of T Rex
- 35:11type feel to it. And you've got one with two, two
- 35:13horns coming out of the diagonal.
- 35:15I think that's the Carnosaurus. Then you've got Trisaurus with
- 35:17three horns given away by the name, and then you've got ones
- 35:22without the horns and that sort of stuff.
- 35:24So there's a really good range of figures.
- 35:26You can also get them with or without neck pieces as well,
- 35:29which is pretty cool. Do you think he made one with no
- 35:32eyes and called it? Do you think he saw us?
- 35:38A last no, but it was worth it just for getting that in mouth.
- 35:42It's like, yeah. Oh my God.
- 35:49Yeah, so you could easily have like, you know, you could use
- 35:52this on the the Olek or, you know, if you fancied going crazy
- 35:55with the paints on an Indian, an Indian infantry buck.
- 35:59See, so I was going to ask you what books you think, yeah,
- 36:03these would work best? I think it would work well with
- 36:04those, but you could even, I'm not sure whether the neck piece
- 36:07would work necessarily, but you could quite easily, easily on a
- 36:11as like a dragon knight sort of thing using an armoury knight as
- 36:13the base. And you guys will know that I've
- 36:17been humming and harring over getting some dragon heads, which
- 36:19are some of the ones we'll see as well later to do exactly
- 36:22that. So I think it worked really well
- 36:23with the Armoury Knights. Yeah.
- 36:26So a few more of them there and then there's some other.
- 36:32Don't make me talk about the the barbarian looking ones, that's
- 36:34just mean. I'll talk about the barbarian.
- 36:37Thank. You mouth they're, they're
- 36:38called the Outback Warrior and he's done sort of versions of it
- 36:42with and without the beard. I'm a big fan of the ones with
- 36:45the beards he's got. So he's got one just hair, just
- 36:55standard sort of face. He's he's got a similar sculpt
- 36:58but with a headband, then one with a crown and another one.
- 37:05He's then gone for bald, which I actually think the the bald
- 37:08bearded 1 looks really cool as well.
- 37:10It's in the bottom right row here.
- 37:12Balls always good, bald is always good.
- 37:14You know, we're all like, well, two of us there getting there.
- 37:20So yeah, I just have to think they're excellent.
- 37:23I need to put a bigger order in but I've got so much stuff.
- 37:30Yeah, I won't get any of these on principle.
- 37:32The the the warrior guys. Yeah, don't worry, he'll be
- 37:35getting the car a. Couple of cool.
- 37:37Elements, the thesauruses are in trouble, yeah.
- 37:41Elemental and bone axes here. Yeah, they're really cool.
- 37:45I like those, yeah. I like the the sort of
- 37:47ornamental type blades on these sorts of things as well.
- 37:50And Mark said he'd be selling the elemental one with the clear
- 37:55blue resin for the. Oh, really?
- 37:59He showed he showed one off online that he painted and it
- 38:02looked fantastic. Oh damn.
- 38:06OK, well, that's an order. In there the snake necks, so
- 38:12I've had a couple of these in got a recent order from Mark so
- 38:18I got these these are great They go on the minion body and see if
- 38:25you want to extend the neck or create a double neck post an
- 38:30Aztec kind of colour piece so. Yeah, Mark painted on it didn't
- 38:34eat one of the the single necks to go on an OLEC as well.
- 38:38So you can see what it looked like with that.
- 38:40And obviously with the the new heads coming out, then that's,
- 38:42you know, a great idea as well. Absolutely, yeah.
- 38:47So I definitely pick a couple of those up.
- 38:50If you were doing an order with Mark anyway for some stuff,
- 38:53they're a great little basket filler, These bear dudes here.
- 39:00Any interest in those? Hyenas.
- 39:03I'm sorry everybody, John's dog knowledge is appalling.
- 39:08Canine type creature knowledge is.
- 39:09I can only apologise. Yes, those hyenas are really
- 39:13good. I've actually got a painted one
- 39:14on the way from Cory at some point.
- 39:17It's it's currently with David. But yeah, you've got lots of
- 39:20different options with this. So you've got one where he's got
- 39:22a metal jaw, metal lower jaw, which looks really good, and
- 39:25Mark painted one up so it's all rusted and looked really cool.
- 39:29You've got piercings and no piercings.
- 39:31I mean, if you're going to go Anthrop and more females, Chuck
- 39:34a few piercings in as well. This is MO away again, by the
- 39:36way. His sculpts are phenomenal.
- 39:38And he's also got one where he's licking his lips, which is
- 39:41either like I'm going to eat you, you're in trouble, or it's
- 39:44like I'm going to abuse you. And I'm a creepy Heiner And I
- 39:47can't quite decide which one it is, but I do love the sculpt.
- 39:52I'm Rich's masseuse. If I go for a massage next time
- 39:59and he's wearing a hyena mask, I'm turning around and.
- 40:01Constrained one with the rusted. So good, yeah.
- 40:04Yeah, Mark's got. A great body as well, doesn't
- 40:07it? Yeah, I love what Corey's done
- 40:09with it. I hate to say it, but the one
- 40:11that Corey's done for me, I think I'm going to have it in
- 40:13House of the Noble Bear, which pains me to add to that
- 40:16abomination of a house, but it's going to work really well.
- 40:20It's It's not a barbarian though, so.
- 40:23Well, I'm going to do it on a as as like a where hyena.
- 40:26So it'll be a bit almost like, you know, the way miner sores
- 40:30are often portrayed to it's a bare human torso.
- 40:33And then just with the the the cow head then yeah, I'm going to
- 40:36do it with this. So I will be, Yeah, let me soft
- 40:40down. You will indeed.
- 40:43So we got demons here then as well, and a couple of pirates.
- 40:48Yeah, I think, I think the I think the demons are MO way as
- 40:52well, aren't they? So you've got Elario, as it's
- 40:56called on this one, and you've got three different ones.
- 40:58You've got one with demon. So it's a female character with
- 41:00like pointed ears. So it could be an elf, could be
- 41:03a, you know, Faye, whatever sort of thing, long hair.
- 41:06And then you've got one with demon type horns.
- 41:09You've got one with antlers and then you've got one with the
- 41:11sort of horn duty on a goat. So sort of curled round horns.
- 41:15I really like these. I think, you know, you could use
- 41:17them to make like like a fae Princess or a fae priestess or
- 41:23something like that. And the flock.
- 41:26But the goat headed one painted to match the Ghost of Christmas
- 41:30Past body would look very cool. He's talking to two guys that
- 41:38don't have that figure. I was going to say, I think we
- 41:40should just. Can you cut him off, Matt?
- 41:42John, let's get rid. No, I could see that working.
- 41:46Yes. Still have to go back and get
- 41:49that figure skin tone, yeah. Would look very cool.
- 41:54Gives. The Yeah.
- 41:56I like, I really like this del Toro.
- 41:58That's really good, Laria. Yeah, absolutely.
- 42:02Del Toro vibes. Yeah, definitely.
- 42:04And then the pirates at the bottom.
- 42:06I'm not sure who sculpted these, but they're just some really
- 42:08cool pirates and you got undead versions as well.
- 42:10So and the hack can come off or stay on and and everything.
- 42:14It's it's really nice that I've been eyeing up so many different
- 42:17pirate sets for God knows how long now, but I think this might
- 42:22be finally be the one that I go for.
- 42:23One of the the certainly one of the undead ones.
- 42:28Cool. Then we also got some Rhino
- 42:33dudes and Fishman and this cool steampunk guy with the goggles
- 42:40on and off. Yeah, the Rhino dudes again are
- 42:46more way or Diego. Let's call him Diego because I'm
- 42:50pretty pronouncing more way completely wrong.
- 42:53No but more ways. The company though, yes, nobody
- 42:58will find him if you did just Google Diego.
- 43:01All right, John, I'm back in my box.
- 43:06OK? The rhino sculpts are out of
- 43:11this world. I mean, John, I think you've
- 43:13painted. Yeah, I painted this one on the
- 43:15right view Rhino Verdugo, and it's got the it's got the hood,
- 43:21but it comes around the eyes as well.
- 43:23And there's another hood you see on the left there that just it
- 43:28doesn't have the eye. You kind of cover pieces really
- 43:31awesome detail on the sculpt fits perfectly on the body.
- 43:38I put it on the cloth torso from so you know the night or so like
- 43:45you get with the original Templars or you know the what's
- 43:50his name to is the learning guard.
- 43:53He has one of them, I think in green.
- 43:58Yeah. Excellent.
- 43:59I also have this armoured guy here with the on the top left.
- 44:02It's a bit small, but with the that's two pieces.
- 44:06So that's a shoulder pieces separate.
- 44:08It goes over the body and then the head.
- 44:12And you can kind of paint their armour to match up to the armour
- 44:14in the head. And you know, you got your right
- 44:17now. Yeah, they're they're super
- 44:18cool. Yeah.
- 44:19They're great Army. Yeah, I've got one of the
- 44:21armoured ones coming from Cory. I know Mark painted up one of
- 44:26the the hooded ones without the the eyepiece didn't need to look
- 44:29like the guards from the Robin Hood did.
- 44:32Disney Robin Hood film which looked brilliant.
- 44:35Fabulous, I posted my I posted my paint job in another toy
- 44:40group and they were like, oh, they're that's good, but
- 44:44somebody else will do another hood and you did the wrong
- 44:46colours like oh, I didn't even know.
- 44:48And then the two fish dude heads are awesome.
- 44:50Who doesn't like a sort of? So what he's buddy like?
- 44:54I have those. I have one of them, I think I
- 44:57bought one of them. What body would you see for
- 44:59those or? You can either go two ways.
- 45:02You can either use the grey limbs from like Xenophon.
- 45:05I would suggest if you wanted to do more of a the you know, I
- 45:09don't wear clothes. I'm all right.
- 45:10I know what's wrong with you, sort of guy.
- 45:13Or. The fish guy I'm talking.
- 45:16About oh, the fish guy. Sorry, the fish guy.
- 45:20I really, you know, me and my fondness of the Demistros body
- 45:24with the sort of oxidized sort of look to it and that sort of
- 45:28thing. So they would go really well
- 45:29with that or cosmic. They work really well in cosmic.
- 45:32I know Mark painted up the one with the longer chin thingies
- 45:38for anyone looking at the screen is a sort of blue that would
- 45:41probably go well with the Fisher ice build sort of thing.
- 45:44So it works really well as on a cosmic body as well, definitely.
- 45:47I wouldn't know how it'd work on the Greyborn body.
- 45:50So they've got long limbs and long.
- 45:53Oh, it can be quite cool. Oh, that's an interesting show.
- 45:57Well. Paint it anything.
- 45:58I have it here though, so I'll send you a picture over tomorrow
- 46:01with the just unpainted on. Or maybe if you're going really
- 46:04different, maybe the the red, the Mask of Red Death.
- 46:10Yes, yeah, body as well. That sort of that thing,
- 46:13although it's not as tall, it's that sort of thinner look with
- 46:15just this big gnarly head on the end there.
- 46:18Yeah, and the, and the damage is just sort of damage is sustained
- 46:23through life, isn't it? Sort of.
- 46:24Yeah. Been in battle.
- 46:25So yeah, yeah, yeah. That could be very cool
- 46:28actually, Rich. Very cool and all these images
- 46:33you're talk we're talking about we obviously post the episodes
- 46:36to YouTube these days, so it's over there also on Spotify.
- 46:40If you use that, the video version podcast is also there or
- 46:43the audio. You can use them setting in
- 46:46Spotify that you can change between and so if you want to
- 46:50see what we're looking at, you can see there.
- 46:53Hopefully we're describing them well enough for you audio
- 46:55listeners though. Wolf King customs.
- 46:58So next there was a couple of new sculpts on their website
- 47:03recently. So there's the elite Angel night
- 47:05from God's fire. It's an Emma Wigman sculpt, so
- 47:10he has a very similar 1 to this previously, which has got a more
- 47:14plain front on the helmet and then the kind of so things are
- 47:22similar as well, but this has more detail.
- 47:24So like the elite Angel, I suppose these are cool helmets,
- 47:29really nice to paint and you can just do them in a like a say
- 47:33metallic to match whatever body you're putting on and then just
- 47:37pick out the detail with highlights or you know, put a
- 47:39wash over them and highlight and they look really good.
- 47:43I. Mean you could.
- 47:44You could almost, I guess. These are the sort of helmets I
- 47:46saw Steve Busati do this, I think last year's Legions con,
- 47:51you could just paint them to match a builder.
- 47:52So I think he had them painted to match gold too.
- 47:56And because they're they're similar rich, a lot of the of
- 47:59these, and that's no disrespect to Emil, They're for some
- 48:01sculpts because some rich you have, you know, it's like a a
- 48:04unit and they've all got slightly different helmets.
- 48:07Yeah. Yeah.
- 48:10Yeah. So that's definitely worth
- 48:13pointing out. And I think this goes along with
- 48:16he's done updated scopes for a lot of their God fires stuff and
- 48:20there will be more God's fire coming this year.
- 48:23So there was obviously the God's fire that you could get at
- 48:25legions con those the Kent and Joe Gonzalez kind of named in
- 48:34honor tribute scopes with pauldrons and some weapons.
- 48:40So they were, you know, they were kind of, I would say
- 48:44rebooting, but kind of launching God's fire out again, you know,
- 48:49kind of give it another push. And this is a good way to build
- 48:53up some ranks in that if you're, you know, building up that kind
- 48:57of faction of your customs. Absolutely.
- 48:59And John described it well then. But you want also recognize it
- 49:01from the drawing that I did of the Wolf King Customs booth
- 49:05Allegiance con. That obviously fits in exactly
- 49:08with that as well. So do track that down only all
- 49:10message me and I can send you a copy.
- 49:11That's fine. Sounds good and they're doing a
- 49:17thing this year at Wolf King. Len and Emile are doing a thing
- 49:20where there's going to be 1 exclusive Emile sculpt a month
- 49:26called with Wickman Slash Wolf King 12 in 25.
- 49:32So that's 12 different sculpts in 25, and the first one is the
- 49:35dragon rogue it's called, which is really cool.
- 49:38It is. It's really cool.
- 49:40And with the dragon coming, that's maybe a nice little
- 49:45sculpt to make a little dragon born or dragon rider or
- 49:49something. I don't.
- 49:49Know and I think the idea behind this is that they want to do
- 49:52something that takes inspiration from a current figure.
- 49:56So I think they designed this to be used with in their head a
- 49:59Duban. That's the sort of base body for
- 50:02it sort of thing. So but it's a beautiful sculpt.
- 50:06I really like it. Right.
- 50:09Oh, Duban is available in the sale, is he?
- 50:12Yeah, there's still loads of Duban.
- 50:14There's enough out there that you can find him for, you know,
- 50:16retail or just above probably so, yeah.
- 50:19And then you put this other one up which is recent, but not like
- 50:23I got it at Legions Con, so it's not.
- 50:26Yes, no, it it was at Legions Con because I messaged Len
- 50:29saying, oh, I saw a picture of this one ages ago.
- 50:32It's a Wolfie commune head sculpt.
- 50:35So it's it's a wolf with a pharaoh's headdress and outfit
- 50:38on. It's absolutely incredible.
- 50:41Wolfie head. I love that Wolfie head.
- 50:43Yeah, Yeah, They were done by. Let me get this right now,
- 50:47because this is not an easy name to say Nonya business, which
- 50:52suggests of none of your business.
- 50:53So I'm now thinking that Len's like, put a misleading name on
- 50:57there. Now say that out loud, Len.
- 51:01Yeah, I did not pick up on that until I pronounced it.
- 51:04Thanks, Len. Yeah.
- 51:06We're just going to come from now on.
- 51:10Is there a Nanya business? Nanya.
- 51:12Nanya. Business.
- 51:15Anyway, great sculpt. You can also get this wolfy head
- 51:18without the Egyptian headdress so.
- 51:21Yeah, you can also get it with a crown as well.
- 51:23Regular. Just the crown.
- 51:25Yeah, I was. Going to get the one with the
- 51:26crown from a meal and then down him.
- 51:29He wasn't at his table on the Friday night when we were
- 51:31setting up Allegiance Con and I went back first thing Saturday
- 51:33morning and some so and so had bought it.
- 51:36So yeah, there you go. OK, so that's Wolf King.
- 51:42Jason Rodriguez has done a couple of sets recently.
- 51:47Yeah, do. You have a couple here.
- 51:50This this one had me crying tears of joy and wallet crying
- 51:54moments. This is a set of dragon sculpts.
- 51:58And I've been saying to you guys, I was thinking of getting
- 52:00some more armony Armory Knights and doing some sort of dragon
- 52:04warriors. I think I said the drag the
- 52:06dragon warriors. This was the purple Knights that
- 52:08I was trying to think of a good name for and they just got all
- 52:12sorts of different ones here. So you've got ones with big neck
- 52:15frills, giant horns, one that looks like a I remember the name
- 52:20of the dinosaur, the one whose neck frills out.
- 52:24Thank you. Mal.
- 52:27Yeah. In Jurassic Park, when it when
- 52:29it gets Ned. Is it Ned?
- 52:32Jed. Whatever his name is?
- 52:33Yeah, Ned. Yeah, yeah, when it gets him.
- 52:36So there's one of those, there's one with crazy, just almost,
- 52:40it's going to sound weird, Circular triangular cone shaped
- 52:45horns going out of the back. There's a Chinese style dragon
- 52:48one there as well which is superb.
- 52:51Yeah, not that I'm finding reasons to buy more grain borne
- 52:54bodies, but again, that Chinese dragon head might look really
- 52:57cool and a grey borne body it. Probably would actually matter.
- 53:00That's a good damn it matter of these things.
- 53:01I know yeah. I think it would also look great
- 53:06on amongst. Game bodies, yes, definitely.
- 53:09Sort of Oriental look and everything like that.
- 53:11And obviously with the retailer version out there, that should
- 53:13still be relatively easy to get. So I'll be getting at least
- 53:16three or four of these, I think, and maybe doing my purple
- 53:20Knights. And for people that yeah, we're
- 53:25workshopping that name, you know?
- 53:28For what seemed like an eternity and every name was basically
- 53:30inappropriate because I had the word purple in it.
- 53:32Yeah. It's just, you know, when it's
- 53:34like the purple water, the purple whatever just sounded
- 53:38phallic, didn't it? Yeah, well, I messaged you guys
- 53:40and said I want to call this group the Purple Forms.
- 53:43Does that sound weird? And Mao responded with I just
- 53:45started laughing and it was Mao. I just started laughing as soon
- 53:47as I read it. It was huge on.
- 53:49It's like, yeah, OK, that's that's not going to work.
- 53:52I was like, yeah, considering. I've just can't stop laughing
- 53:56now you've said that. Yeah, because I'm a child.
- 54:00I wanted something about sharpness and that, but they
- 54:02were wearing the purple armoury suits, so yeah.
- 54:07And just I suppose if you don't know the Jason Rodriguez stuff,
- 54:12generally these are available at a bunch of different shops.
- 54:16So for example, Dust Till Dawn Studios often has them.
- 54:19Wolf King has had various of his sets Mark callable costume
- 54:23creations. He he generally picks up some of
- 54:27the Jason. Masters sometimes pick them up.
- 54:29Masters sometimes have them blue.
- 54:33Blue Inferno figures has them, yeah, yeah.
- 54:37So you'll find them out there I at the various print shops.
- 54:42I would love someone with Jason's permission to shrink the
- 54:47snapping turtle down into a 1.0 body and I would have to
- 54:54purchase that then. The the this bonus item here.
- 54:59Yeah, with the shell. The shell and the snapping
- 55:02turtle head, I'm sure somebody would do that, Mal.
- 55:04I've seen loads of people change the scales of the stuff that
- 55:07he's done, so he seems very open to that.
- 55:09So if anyone's listening, he can do that, and with themselves,
- 55:12them. It's like those sharks without
- 55:15being obsessed with sharks going back to sharks again straight
- 55:17away. But the two sharks he did, they
- 55:20were ogre scale, but then Len selling them at 1.0 slash brute
- 55:24scale. Yeah.
- 55:25So yeah, he's very open to people changing the scale and
- 55:28you'll get a sale from Mal. So definitely do it, people.
- 55:31Yeah, I love. There you go, another Jason
- 55:35Rodriguez 1 here. Yeah, so he's done that. 1.
- 55:39He drops like a set a month sort of thing.
- 55:40I think this was from, I think this was the first one after
- 55:43Legions con. So you've got, it's basically a
- 55:47demon set. So the top left one is like your
- 55:51traditional type demon look. Longhorns :) the one underneath
- 55:56on the bottom left I'd say is more of AI was thinking like a
- 56:00beast man from Warhammer. So you know that sort of goat
- 56:04type look to it. Middle sort of middle left on
- 56:10the top. Just go across the top.
- 56:11So I've done the top left. Then one next to it is half
- 56:14human half demon face, you know, so you could use that for
- 56:18anything you like. Like it would work really well
- 56:20in cosmic for a corn, like a demon of corn character or
- 56:23something like that as they're morphing into that or a demon
- 56:26knight. I think it was wolf King that
- 56:29did one where it was the flipped rounds.
- 56:31It was the other side. So the demon was on the opposite
- 56:34side to where it is here sort of thing.
- 56:35And I've got that and that's part of the Cods fire series and
- 56:37it's really good. Again, worked brilliantly with a
- 56:40Knight's body. The one next to it is like a
- 56:44cosmic demon. I would class it as it's just
- 56:46got a one eye in the middle of its head.
- 56:49That will work really well with the cosmic body.
- 56:50Any sort of cosmic body where you can pop it on, you know, one
- 56:52of the builders or whatever sort of thing.
- 56:53I'll definitely get one of those.
- 56:55There's a Krampus style head with his big demon tongue
- 57:01hanging out. Thankfully not his demon Wang,
- 57:02just his tongue hanging out there in the Longhorns.
- 57:07You've got one that's like a long hair and like a mask.
- 57:14I'm not sure if that's a human or a demon.
- 57:15That was pretty cool. And then you've got one that's
- 57:18meant to be like a Predator Darth Vader type crossover.
- 57:22Sam Samurai Predator came to mind with that.
- 57:24One, yes, who did I see have painted that?
- 57:27Oh, Corey painted one and he done it in flesh tones with like
- 57:31the sort of skin colour and then the red sort of thing, but it
- 57:34looked really phallic. It's like, I can't have that.
- 57:36It's like I've got some sort of, you know, a penis figure on
- 57:40display. I can't do it.
- 57:42Yeah. But a great set of of sculpts
- 57:45there again. Again, they'd put Rebel on the
- 57:48Armoury Knights, which still available on a cosmic body.
- 57:51Sword as well. Yes, WAVY sword, yeah, there was
- 57:54another set with Christmas kind of theme.
- 57:57I didn't include that one now here, but.
- 58:00Yeah, that. I've ordered a couple of those
- 58:01from Robert Espino. So there's a couple of snowmen.
- 58:04So I'm going to have a vampire snowman, which I'm very excited
- 58:06about on a vague body. And so I'm a little hat and
- 58:10everything. Sorry I'm going on too long.
- 58:12John's moved me on everybody. So yeah.
- 58:15Josh Brown Customs. So this is Josh Brown and also
- 58:18Rocket Fest customs. They combine not so they use
- 58:21Gianluca, who I think has done some stuff for, I think for Toy
- 58:25Forge in the past and other people.
- 58:26And Wolfgang, I'm sure they both use him.
- 58:29So they just share the exclusive sculpt.
- 58:31So these are exclusive to them. So this one's called the Android
- 58:35and it's it's like a bug space character basically.
- 58:39So it could be another another character wearing a all unmasked
- 58:44space helmet or it could be some sort of bug type alien that's
- 58:47just got, you know, a space helmet going over its antenna
- 58:50sort of thing. Again, it would work with pretty
- 58:53much anybody. Or or DK. 01 RDK 01 is Robo
- 59:00don't know. So it's it's inspired by him.
- 59:04So it's basically a character with a flat cap, a face shield,
- 59:09and then the beard coming out underneath.
- 59:11So yeah, it's inspired by Robo. I'm not sure I'd ever find A use
- 59:14for this, but it's a very cool sculpt.
- 59:16Yeah, it is indeed. This is this is the Husky.
- 59:22Vampire, which I will 100% be ordering from Josh very soon, in
- 59:26fact probably the next day or so.
- 59:28Yeah, it's a it's a fat vampire, so which is great.
- 59:33Like, yeah, he's proper been gorging on the on the blood.
- 59:36So I'm going to order that. And then I'm going to make like,
- 59:41I'm really good at this, but I'm not, but make like a tabard sort
- 59:44of piece with the purple vampire Insignia or as close as I can
- 59:48get to it with my abysmal sewing skills and then just put some
- 59:52padding underneath. It's just a really fat body on
- 59:55top of a 1.0 original build sort of thing.
- 59:58So it's just this fat abomination of a vampire.
- 1:00:03This one is inspired by Balrog, so you've got the flaming head
- 1:00:06coming out of the top there, the sort of side horns and then the
- 1:00:11big teeth. So you know, you could be a fire
- 1:00:13demon or anything like that. It would probably work really
- 1:00:15well on if you use say a vampire, obsessive vampires, but
- 1:00:20a vampire phalanx build, then you could do this.
- 1:00:23And then you, I've seen people do it where they sort of run the
- 1:00:25like an orange colour through as into the cracks and the armour
- 1:00:29and this sort of stuff. So it's almost like a lava type
- 1:00:32sort of look to it. So that would work really well.
- 1:00:37This one, yeah. This one's a Teenage Mutant
- 1:00:39Ninja Turtle in space helmet. So it is, it is what says
- 1:00:43something. It's a Teenage Mutant Ninja
- 1:00:44Turtle wearing a space helmet. Basically.
- 1:00:49This one is a skull with cybernetic implants at the back
- 1:00:53and then cybernetic eyes in there.
- 1:00:57Again, you could use it with any character at all.
- 1:00:59I mean, I'm, I'm thinking of using the the graveyard
- 1:01:01skeletons to do because they're bleached.
- 1:01:04So it's like they've been bleached by the radiation in
- 1:01:06space. So you could paint it to match
- 1:01:08that. And then, you know, use any sort
- 1:01:09of cosmic body and then just add a couple of bone limbs or
- 1:01:12something like that, which would work really well.
- 1:01:15Yeah. And there's a few different
- 1:01:16makers that have done that sort of thing, but this one's a
- 1:01:18really cool one. I really like this, particularly
- 1:01:20those eyes, a big bulging eyes. Josh Brown Now we're moving on
- 1:01:24to. Yes, this is Luke Welch, which
- 1:01:28is close enough to Welsh that I've adopted him basically as a
- 1:01:32as a, you know, great person. Yes.
- 1:01:36So you've got two sculpts that he's done so far.
- 1:01:38He's like brand new to the scene in terms of mythics.
- 1:01:41You've got two sculpts that he's done on the left hand side.
- 1:01:43You've got an absolutely bonkers spider sculpt.
- 1:01:47It almost looks like he's got sideburns like this big mutton,
- 1:01:50chopped sideburns sort of thing. And that's what I'm going to be
- 1:01:53using it for is some sort of like wear spider or something
- 1:01:56like that. So.
- 1:01:57I don't like, I don't like spiders in real life, and this
- 1:02:00thing gives me the it's. Incredible.
- 1:02:05I love it. It's got so much character.
- 1:02:06Which is a compliment to it, you know.
- 1:02:08Yeah, for sure. And he he doesn't do this in
- 1:02:10three DZ brush around and he sculpts them in clay as well.
- 1:02:14Wow. So we look at the intricate
- 1:02:17detail on it. It's it's really impressive that
- 1:02:19he manages. To do then does he does he do a
- 1:02:21mold and then. You mean just mold or something?
- 1:02:24Yeah. And then on the right you've got
- 1:02:29what he calls a twisted tree head.
- 1:02:31So it's like a, I'm saying an evil tree man, basically.
- 1:02:34So it's all contort. It's like a contorted face and
- 1:02:38what you'd normally expect with a tree man.
- 1:02:39Where like the branches almost coming out from the side of the
- 1:02:43head, they're all twisted. He's only got one eye visible,
- 1:02:46the other one sort of covered in this like grotesque twisted sort
- 1:02:50of face. So it's an evil tree man.
- 1:02:52Basically. If I could find a way to make it
- 1:02:54a vampire, I would, but I think I'm probably just going down the
- 1:02:57evil tree man root this. And again, you can pop this onto
- 1:03:01as I learning, not as I learning God Silver Horn Sentry, which is
- 1:03:06you should still be able Faunus. Yeah.
- 1:03:08All that sort of thing. Oh, it could be.
- 1:03:10Yeah. Faunus's long lost twin brother.
- 1:03:12If you could perhaps like the evil twin body group would work.
- 1:03:17Absolutely. Yeah.
- 1:03:17One of the Marvel Legend groups would work really well for it.
- 1:03:21So I've got both of these on order that, you know, if he
- 1:03:24carries on like this, he seems to be hitting all the right
- 1:03:26things for me. So you know it's going to get.
- 1:03:28Expensive to send me because of honey.
- 1:03:31That spider head. Yeah, will do.
- 1:03:34No problem. Prop masters then Prop masters
- 1:03:37haven't been doing an awful lot recently, but they seem to pop
- 1:03:40back on the scene, which is great because the Monedo are two
- 1:03:43really good guys. They they sculpted our
- 1:03:45exclusives at Legions Con last year, their European base for
- 1:03:49the Europeans. So we've got some dwarf heads.
- 1:03:51So we've got one called Naganos, which is I really like.
- 1:03:56It's, it's a really thin dwarf. Dwarfs are obviously quite, you
- 1:03:58know, Tubby. Let's just say, you know, you
- 1:04:02know, stout fellows or is this one's quite a, quite a thin guy.
- 1:04:06He's got a braided beard, the big nose you'd expect from
- 1:04:09dwarfs, and he's got a top knot. So maybe he could be a dwarf
- 1:04:12Yogi or something like that. But I really like the sculpt.
- 1:04:16And then the one next to it is called tolcum.
- 1:04:21I really like the combination here.
- 1:04:22So he's got the beard, which is just a big beard, but then he's
- 1:04:25braided the moustache. So it's like, I'm not going to
- 1:04:28go down the two braided route. That's just too much.
- 1:04:31But I'm going to get a bit of a braid here sort of thing, so.
- 1:04:36Do do you think he uses talcum powder?
- 1:04:41Oh my goodness to me, I can only apologize listeners, It's it's
- 1:04:44that joke week. Let's move on.
- 1:04:48I just had the half an hour of knock knock jokes earlier until
- 1:04:52my wife told us to stop the house.
- 1:04:57And then the final one from Prop Masters is called the Molly head
- 1:05:01with three L's. So I think they go down the
- 1:05:04forsman route of consonants, consonants, consonants.
- 1:05:07Again, this is a dwarf head, but it's again, it's cool because
- 1:05:11the beard is partly braided, the hair is partly braided.
- 1:05:14So in my head, I'm imagining this being some sort of like
- 1:05:16young dwarf who as you get older and more experienced, you can
- 1:05:20braid different parts. So you can braid the beard a bit
- 1:05:22more and that sort of thing. So he's in that partial braiding
- 1:05:25moment, as it were, and you could use all that your.
- 1:05:28Kids that just like plain with his.
- 1:05:30Exactly. Yeah, and you can use on any of
- 1:05:31the dwarf bodies. You know, you could do Torgon if
- 1:05:33you want. I mean it's a bit more
- 1:05:34expensive, but you can use a Torgon if you wanted to or one
- 1:05:37of the armoured legion builders just as easily.
- 1:05:41And Agnos so good we put him in there twice.
- 1:05:43Well, yes, Uncle Jim's workshop then.
- 1:05:47Bunch of stuff here. Yeah.
- 1:05:49So this is a site that what I feel our listeners probably
- 1:05:52don't even know about. It's I'm going to say it's
- 1:05:55Chinese based. I could be wrong and I
- 1:05:56apologize. Yeah, if it's not.
- 1:05:59But he does some really cool stuff.
- 1:06:01He he normally does weapons. Weapons are his thing.
- 1:06:04And there's there's loads and loads of weapons on the side.
- 1:06:07Yeah. If you saw those flame swords I
- 1:06:09had last year at our booth, yes, example that they're him.
- 1:06:13I mean, I painted them, but he also sells them painted so and
- 1:06:16he sells them unpainted. Yes, and the paint jobs are
- 1:06:19really good on the weapons and not too bad price wise actually
- 1:06:23as well. But he will do some heads as
- 1:06:26well. So you've done some female heads
- 1:06:27recently. So the one on the top left where
- 1:06:30people are looking at this is on a Hadriano body, but it's
- 1:06:33actually designed for like a MacFarlane Witcher figure.
- 1:06:36So it's meant to be Siri from the Witcher series or his take
- 1:06:39on that. But it fits really well on on
- 1:06:42100, you know, female 2.0 mythics body.
- 1:06:45Basically, you know, shortish hair, you know, really stern
- 1:06:51female character. Then the one on next to it.
- 1:06:56Sorry, I pause there for a second.
- 1:06:58The one next to it is actually the Siri 1.
- 1:06:59I take that back. The one is just the mythic one.
- 1:07:02The one next to it is the Siri one.
- 1:07:03But again, because McFarland are similar size to mythics, it'll
- 1:07:06work absolutely fine on a mythic body.
- 1:07:09Bottom left is a female character wearing, it's almost
- 1:07:13like a Joker's sort of a headpiece with like the various.
- 1:07:17Yeah, Jess. So thank you.
- 1:07:18Yes, that's really cool. And then the bottom right, she's
- 1:07:22wearing a headband and long hair sort of thing.
- 1:07:24And I know this is the source. I would imagine that Art would
- 1:07:27love to paint. He likes doing his females in
- 1:07:30that sort of style and that sort of thing.
- 1:07:31So if you're looking for female heads, there's four great ones
- 1:07:34here. Yes, one.
- 1:07:39Sorry. Crotas.
- 1:07:42Yes, on the right there's a a very angry dwarf.
- 1:07:46So he's I, I love this sculpt. I've not seen it before today
- 1:07:49actually. Loads of braids in the beard and
- 1:07:51then a Mohawk and he's just looking furious.
- 1:07:53So I probably will get this sculpt at some point.
- 1:07:55Or he's on the bug. Or he's on the bog and he's on a
- 1:07:58particularly difficult time passing the the orc that he ate
- 1:08:02the previous night having killed it.
- 1:08:04Yes. Or he has a colonoscopy in the
- 1:08:06morning and he's he's in to take the prep.
- 1:08:12And then the other thing is something that Uncle Jim has
- 1:08:15started doing relatively recently.
- 1:08:16I think they started doing some diorama pieces.
- 1:08:19So this one's called the boat. So it's basically the front
- 1:08:22half, the front half of the of a boat, like a Viking long boat.
- 1:08:29Looking at the the sort of creature at the front, it could
- 1:08:31almost be like a like a sea dragon type sort of thing.
- 1:08:35Looking at you can see the pic from the picture here.
- 1:08:37It's big enough to hold 6/7 inch figures.
- 1:08:39You can get a couple of them on there, the picture and then it
- 1:08:42comes painted or unpainted. And the painted version's got
- 1:08:46like waves, blue waves lapping up against it sort of thing as
- 1:08:49well. And then the little picture in
- 1:08:52the in the bottom right there of rope and bottles.
- 1:08:55That's a separate accessory set that you can buy to put on the
- 1:08:58boat if you want some accessories on it as well.
- 1:09:00But it's just a really cool, you know, because quite often Dio
- 1:09:02stuff is quite big and I like this because it's it's actually
- 1:09:05quite small. It's not going to take up a huge
- 1:09:06amount of space on your shelf and you can get a couple of
- 1:09:09figures. On it, it's also kind of
- 1:09:11platforms here as. Well, yes, so he's done a few
- 1:09:13platforms. So this is the ones on the left
- 1:09:15are really, really basic ones. So they're just flat to the
- 1:09:18floor sort of thing. Although there is a stand in the
- 1:09:20later picture which you could probably use, but he does
- 1:09:23different types. So there's like a they're
- 1:09:25described as rough wood, fine wood and brick texture.
- 1:09:29You know, it is what it says on the tin basically.
- 1:09:32And you can see one there with a character suit on it.
- 1:09:34So if you want something a bit different, then again, you've
- 1:09:37got that option. And then on the right, there's
- 1:09:40example of the weapons they do. So these are some of the new
- 1:09:42weapons. So there's a sickle on the top
- 1:09:44there with like flames or magic effects coming off the side.
- 1:09:47And he's listed them as fire and ice because that's the way the
- 1:09:50painted options you can get from him are.
- 1:09:52So there's the blue one or the red one.
- 1:09:54And then there's the death sickle underneath, which sounds
- 1:09:57like a nice lolly, but it's a it's a death sickle.
- 1:10:01And it's, I really like it because it's got a short handle
- 1:10:04like you get from a sickle. But the blade is like the scythe
- 1:10:07size. It's enormous.
- 1:10:11Yeah, you could do some real damage with that.
- 1:10:14Absolutely. So on the right, I think is a
- 1:10:18stand to put those other ones on.
- 1:10:20And I think. Oh yeah.
- 1:10:22So it's it's slightly raised so as when the other ones are flat,
- 1:10:25this one is slightly raised and then the one on the left.
- 1:10:30And let me get the right name for this.
- 1:10:33It is called Japanese style Eve, so it's basically like the
- 1:10:38corner of a building as if like a ninja or and the pictures like
- 1:10:42a ninja type character. He stood on the end of this and
- 1:10:44again, this looks amazing. As you know, if you've got an
- 1:10:47Oriental style character that you want to put standing on an
- 1:10:50Oriental style roof looking down at somebody's about to attack or
- 1:10:52whatever, then this is a great piece to have.
- 1:10:56And the quality John's bought from him before I bought from
- 1:10:58lots from him before the quality is first rate.
- 1:11:01Like the weapons normally are in two pieces with a metal bar to
- 1:11:04join them together. So they're really sturdy.
- 1:11:07Yeah, It makes them really sturdy.
- 1:11:09It also of course means that you have to do a little bit more
- 1:11:14than just paint them. But I think most of us are, I
- 1:11:18mean, capable of of that, I would say.
- 1:11:21Yeah, absolutely. And if you want to paint this
- 1:11:22thing from the painted prices don't go up that much and the
- 1:11:25paint jobs are really good. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:11:31Got something to pop in here now.
- 1:11:35We also had our buddy Anthony at Zolacan.
- 1:11:40Anthony Oseal, he's going to have these pieces here.
- 1:11:48It's called the Legendary Forge. And him and his son Tony have
- 1:11:53been doing some filament printing and he's choosing what
- 1:11:58files are doing. And then you're going to print,
- 1:12:01print them and paint them up. These mechs and vehicles are
- 1:12:05licensed through Kit Crafters and it allows them to sell them
- 1:12:09in person. That shows.
- 1:12:10So that means they'll be at Solocon and the sales that go
- 1:12:14right into his son Tony's back pocket.
- 1:12:16So if you don't want to give Anthony money, but you really
- 1:12:19like these, this is a real conscience free buy for this is,
- 1:12:24you know. You're supporting a child,
- 1:12:26helping him with his pocket money.
- 1:12:28Yeah, exactly. And starting him on his real
- 1:12:30creative journey. So definitely well worth the
- 1:12:35time. Yeah, and they're just fun,
- 1:12:37aren't they? And you could get these into
- 1:12:38Cosmic quite easily, little robot characters and that sort
- 1:12:42of stuff. Yeah, they're really fun.
- 1:12:44There's like a little hovercraft, a little a Tumblr
- 1:12:49style car vehicle, little gun gun tank, sort of vehicle, sort
- 1:12:57of spider type vehicle with guns on the back with market
- 1:13:00launchers, launchers, sort of a mech, a little mech, and then
- 1:13:06then some more sort of familiar shaped robots, I guess.
- 1:13:12Aren't they I? Love these.
- 1:13:15Yeah, they look really cool. So and then we also had these
- 1:13:21guys, which are these little cosmic robots.
- 1:13:29Which I'm hoping John does again, because I completely
- 1:13:34mistaught them. I can't.
- 1:13:37Afford this is a this is a guy on the cabal that goes by a room
- 1:13:41nudge. You guys tell me his his real
- 1:13:44name is actually the same as mine.
- 1:13:46John. Yeah, I can see why he changed
- 1:13:49it. You read it, read it back, read
- 1:13:52every nod backwards for his real name.
- 1:13:56John Moore. OK, Got.
- 1:13:57You. Oh dear, I missed that
- 1:14:00completely. I'm I'm not good with the name
- 1:14:02anagrams as we've already seen. He's part of the Arizona crew,
- 1:14:06Yeah. So obviously out in Zone A, they
- 1:14:09have these cosmic crawlers. So these are just just a really
- 1:14:13cool idea, great for using those heads that you might have.
- 1:14:18So, so good. They actually have a little
- 1:14:23figure that's a similar thing from Shadow Run.
- 1:14:28One of the characters I've picked up from Shadow Run and I
- 1:14:31would have loved more of them. But one so the crowd was salt
- 1:14:35robot again, CAS robot Wolf. It does a head he's also got.
- 1:14:42That's the brain thing. And he's made that a.
- 1:14:45Head as well. Figure, yeah.
- 1:14:48Yeah, that's very clever to make it a head that will go on a
- 1:14:50figure as well, because not just this.
- 1:14:53Sweet head so and yeah he has the Cass cutter so it's one body
- 1:15:05four person legs 2 plugs for an expansion ports so this is a you
- 1:15:09know this type of thing reminds me of what Carver customs do
- 1:15:13with their with their chair bots yeah it's just a different type
- 1:15:18of thing but. It's funny as you mentioned that
- 1:15:19John, because John is working with Brian to add on cover
- 1:15:25custom bits as well. Oh, cool.
- 1:15:28So, yeah. So this is the the robot head.
- 1:15:33This is the head he does for us. If you want to do that, you can
- 1:15:38do that. Yeah, so the idea isn't it's you
- 1:15:40spare Tusk heads and that sort of stuff.
- 1:15:42But if you don't want to do that, then he's, yeah, he
- 1:15:44designed his own head as well, which is really clever and
- 1:15:47really cool. Yeah, very cool.
- 1:15:50Absolutely. Then our buddies over Borderland
- 1:15:52or they actually today posted some new stuff so hot off the
- 1:15:57press. Then this is the first stuff
- 1:15:59since Legions Con isn't it? Bless them, they were very busy
- 1:16:02Legions con, so I can see why it's taking a while to recover
- 1:16:04from that. Also just, you know, get the
- 1:16:09inventory sorted and decide on new projects and what the what
- 1:16:13direction they want to go. So yeah.
- 1:16:17Yeah. So it's, I think it's pretty
- 1:16:19much the same head, isn't it? But just three different takes
- 1:16:21on it sort of thing. So there's a barbarian version,
- 1:16:25and then there's a Mercurian Gladiator version, and then
- 1:16:27there's a. Yeah, so it's a big beardy guy.
- 1:16:30Basically thought that looked quite Greek rather than
- 1:16:33barbarian. The one with the band around his
- 1:16:35head? Oh.
- 1:16:36Yeah, Greek. Yeah, I.
- 1:16:36Think they described it as barbarian in their mouth, so
- 1:16:39negative points for that. Call it Greek, guys.
- 1:16:44Call it, I really like it. A lot of detail in it and
- 1:16:49sculpted by GN Art. Yeah, that General Luker again,
- 1:16:54who does stuff for for Josh as well.
- 1:16:56He's a really good sculptor. Yes, and oh wow, these are.
- 1:17:02Cool, I hadn't seen these. So you put them up.
- 1:17:06Are they, they put them up today as well.
- 1:17:08Yeah, so, and I'm afraid now to say animals in case I got them
- 1:17:14wrong, but I think this is an eagle.
- 1:17:15Yeah, it is an eagle, correct? Yes.
- 1:17:19The in between one is I don't know what that is, is that oh,
- 1:17:24it's like a dragon. I think it's a dragon of some
- 1:17:26sort. Yeah, it's.
- 1:17:26Like, it's got a hair, doesn't it?
- 1:17:28Which that's the one I really, really like is it's a bit.
- 1:17:31Bonky And then you've got a minor tour and kind of a dude, a
- 1:17:36beardy dude. Like a, say, tear or something
- 1:17:39like that. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:17:42Or a beardy dude with horns. Yeah, I believe Boardland Horde
- 1:17:47will be at Solocon as well, so that'll be the place, if you're
- 1:17:50going to that show, to pick them up first.
- 1:17:53Yeah, I think. It's going to be good.
- 1:17:57It should be great. You know, I think they said
- 1:17:58they're going to have a fair few new sculpts as well, sort of
- 1:18:01things that they'll just be previewing over the next few
- 1:18:03days. Yeah, and I'm sure they'll have
- 1:18:07plenty of their entry as well, from what you might have seen at
- 1:18:11Legions Corner before that. So yeah, good on them.
- 1:18:17Then we got Dirk designs. Whose name isn't Dirk?
- 1:18:21I wish people would use their real names because this is very
- 1:18:23getting very confusing there. But Dirk's stuff is awesome, so
- 1:18:30this is his. Well, on the far right there is
- 1:18:34a snail. Are you like Arabic or
- 1:18:39something? You're always working right to
- 1:18:41left. Yeah, it's all these, it's all
- 1:18:44these mangas, the holy goes which go back to front.
- 1:18:47So I'm used to just doing it that way.
- 1:18:50Yeah. So it's it's a 2.0 scale torso,
- 1:18:54head and shell. So backpack.
- 1:18:57This is really cool yeah combination was really fun yes
- 1:19:012.0 buddy, but. Yeah, yeah, Somebody painted one
- 1:19:04up a full custom. I can't remember who it was now,
- 1:19:07but it looked really, really good.
- 1:19:09Just sort of various green shades and that sort of stuff in
- 1:19:12a brown shell. So that's really cool.
- 1:19:15And it will help use up a swig that I had spare, so that's
- 1:19:18great. And then Duke's gone amphibian
- 1:19:22crazy. So we have Big Ned the Toad,
- 1:19:26which is a real chunky, scaly, knobbly toad sort of look.
- 1:19:31And again, these are torso head combos, which I actually really
- 1:19:35quite like. It's a good way to get one piece
- 1:19:39without spending too much money because if you got, if you buy
- 1:19:42these sort of torso head things separately, it would cost, you
- 1:19:45know, these are what, 25 it cost you 40 probably.
- 1:19:47So it's quite nice to see them joined up like that.
- 1:19:53You then have we've got. Fat Gary and Slim Jerry.
- 1:19:57Yeah, so we've got Fat Gary, the bullfrog, the American bullfrog,
- 1:20:00and Fat Gary's got a version with his tongue out as well.
- 1:20:03And American bullfrogs are huge, so I can see why he's called Fat
- 1:20:06Gary. And then you've got the tree
- 1:20:08frog Slim Jerry and Mal has a painted one of these for me at
- 1:20:11the moment that we've got from Dirk.
- 1:20:13So it's really cool. Just a massive frog eyes and the
- 1:20:17the really slim build again, the 2.0 builds.
- 1:20:20So I really love that. I heard somewhere that that the
- 1:20:23the name Gary in the UK is almost dying out now.
- 1:20:27That's a myth. That story went around a couple
- 1:20:29of years ago, but actually there's plenty of Gary's each
- 1:20:32year in this sort of birth register type thing.
- 1:20:34Yeah, I. Mean.
- 1:20:35Don't get me wrong, it's not going to let you know, pass some
- 1:20:37of the really cool names, but there are plenty of Gary's,
- 1:20:40yeah. OK, some more.
- 1:20:43Yes, and now we're into Dwarf Lord toy, Dwarf Lord toy design
- 1:20:48and these are sold. So it's a different person, but
- 1:20:51they're sold through Dirk's website sort of thing.
- 1:20:53Hence they're together with it. So they did lots of Orc 2 packs.
- 1:20:57So there's one with an awkward split head.
- 1:20:59There's no one with an awkward an axe in his head and that sort
- 1:21:02of stuff. And they're relatively cheap
- 1:21:03prices for those. We've got a couple of really
- 1:21:06good adder like snake heads that you can use with an Indian body.
- 1:21:10So there's one with a helmet and his tongue sticking out and then
- 1:21:13there's one and then the other one, no helmet and a closed
- 1:21:15mouth sort of thing. Again, you should give that
- 1:21:18different look to the Ninian or to so all like if you wanted to
- 1:21:22go down that route. Yeah, very good.
- 1:21:27And then we have some more. And then some more.
- 1:21:31So they did a little, little over Christmas stuff.
- 1:21:34So which me and Mal both got in on.
- 1:21:38So there's like a, I'm not sure what the top left one's meant to
- 1:21:41be. It's like a banshee type thing.
- 1:21:42I'm not sure like Christmas Eve, but so big sticking out of hair
- 1:21:46and and all that sort of stuff. Yeah.
- 1:21:48So again, any pretty much 240 build would work with that.
- 1:21:53They then did like a Yeti 1. Did you get this one in the end?
- 1:21:56Male, the Yeti type. I did and I'm such an I mean
- 1:21:58it's so good, but I'm such an empty because in my head it was
- 1:22:02troll scale, not ogre scale, and but it's ogre scale, but it's
- 1:22:06and at some torn. I'll probably paint it up anyway
- 1:22:09and just have it as as it is, but you know, if you're
- 1:22:13listening, maybe if you could scale it up to Ogre scale,
- 1:22:16that'd be very cool. All scale.
- 1:22:19Troll scale, Sorry. Troll scale.
- 1:22:20That'd be very cool. And modify it to the neck and
- 1:22:24all that if it's. That'd be awesome, yeah.
- 1:22:26There you go, Guaranteed sale, everybody.
- 1:22:30And then there's a little little dwarf next to him there.
- 1:22:33We're going there like a pointy out mustache sort of thing.
- 1:22:37The one next to him. Mal, do you want to describe the
- 1:22:38one next to it? The ginger, you both got him,
- 1:22:41you fell in love. With this one.
- 1:22:42Good. It's it's just this creepy,
- 1:22:47ghoulish, obviously meant to be a gingerbread man because he's
- 1:22:52got lots of stuff like Jelly tots or whatever you call them,
- 1:22:58gum drops stuck to him and cream running down his head and like,
- 1:23:05you know, all that sort of thing.
- 1:23:06And it's just such a cool, creepy looking head sculpt.
- 1:23:12I had to get that one. I've already got the idea of
- 1:23:15what I'm going to do with it as well.
- 1:23:17Yeah, I have no idea what I'm going to do with mine, but it's
- 1:23:19such a good sculpt that it's like, well, if we put an order
- 1:23:21in anyway, I've got to get it. The next to that on the top
- 1:23:25you've got a Father Christmas type dwarf again.
- 1:23:28So there's a bald one with massive beard or there's one
- 1:23:32wearing a helmet which got antlers on it, which is the one
- 1:23:36that I got. Really cool.
- 1:23:38You then got a monk type one. It hasn't got the monk ball be
- 1:23:42at the top, but it's that sort of look.
- 1:23:43It's like a bowl cut and then a big beard.
- 1:23:47So these are all, if you come around here kind of down and
- 1:23:51around, it's all the same. As it the same original thing.
- 1:23:56OK, yeah. So you've got a braided beard
- 1:23:58with a receding hairline. They're the Stooges, the three
- 1:24:02Stooges. Of course.
- 1:24:08So it's Kurt MO is the so. So if anyone knows anything
- 1:24:12about the Three Stooges, imagine their hair with beards with
- 1:24:15dwarf beards. Got MO Larry and Curly.
- 1:24:18Excellent. Yes, so curly is the bald one
- 1:24:21with the the beard going at angles.
- 1:24:24You've got a couple of like Quaker type characters.
- 1:24:28So I bought the vampire version that legions con, but they've
- 1:24:31now released like a demon version and just a normal human
- 1:24:34version. So that's the bottom left and
- 1:24:361/2 over. And then there's one called the
- 1:24:40Executioner, which I also got legions commonly.
- 1:24:44Yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't out, I don't think on the website
- 1:24:46before then. But it's really cool.
- 1:24:48And it's meant to be a female kind of, but actually you could
- 1:24:50probably use it as a male one too.
- 1:24:51It's got like a mask across the eyes.
- 1:24:54There's like a really textured mask and A and a hood.
- 1:24:57So you could use it for all sorts of things.
- 1:24:58So yeah, some really cool characters.
- 1:25:02Again, with the the gangly, the Quaker thing is, it's almost
- 1:25:07like a scarecrow. I mean, the vampire one was sold
- 1:25:09as a scarecrow thing. So you could, again, you could
- 1:25:11use that potentially on a grey alien if you put some soft goods
- 1:25:14on it. Yeah.
- 1:25:16Or on the yeah, body. Exactly.
- 1:25:19That sort of gangly, thin look would do it really well with it.
- 1:25:23Or, if you're feeling brave, paint up some skeletal limbs to
- 1:25:27make them look like wood. Oh.
- 1:25:31And use some idea mouth. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:25:35I might have an Boyle's making a note with that as we speak.
- 1:25:40I'm waiting for those skeletal bodies to do that.
- 1:25:43I know. Yeah, it's and that's your lot
- 1:25:48from third party news of the bumper addition to kick us off.
- 1:25:52But yeah, I think in the future might be a bit less stuff, but
- 1:25:58we'll try and we'll try and keep that going at this year and see
- 1:26:01how it works out. Obviously coming up to events
- 1:26:03like Legions Con and stuff, it might be busier, but we'll also
- 1:26:07have some of those people, aren't they supposed to tell us
- 1:26:10about stuff? So.
- 1:26:12And next week is Valentine's Day.
- 1:26:16So last year we did, it's actually our episode drop days
- 1:26:21of the Fridays, actually Valentine's Day.
- 1:26:23Last year we did an actual episode kind of themed with
- 1:26:28Valentine's Day. So this year we'll have to think
- 1:26:31of something. I don't know if you have any
- 1:26:32ideas there boys. We'll have a think.
- 1:26:36Just an episode of my Demon Wang's Lots.
- 1:26:39I could do some drawings. We could, you know, we could
- 1:26:42cover it all with that. That's fine.
- 1:26:44Yeah, we'll definitely talk about the retailer wave anyway
- 1:26:47in detail and we'll have the full reveal for that I hope by
- 1:26:50then. Well, it's gone on sale that day
- 1:26:53and we've probably recorded on the Wednesday as usual, so that.
- 1:26:57Oh yeah, I've just had a really good idea popping my head.
- 1:26:59I won't spoil it for the listeners now, OK?
- 1:27:01But gents, I will once we're off.
- 1:27:03Our ideas there's normally normally result in entertaining
- 1:27:06episodes. So yeah, all righty.
- 1:27:10Well, I suppose enjoy your Necronominus audience.
- 1:27:14If you get one, enjoy the the wait.
- 1:27:18If not, and we'll all get them some stage, they'll all be here.
- 1:27:24Someone will be first and someone will definitely be last.
- 1:27:30I'm looking at them. Yeah, at this point, I normally
- 1:27:35stay safe everybody, and I do mean it.
- 1:27:38Unless you've got the Necronomer stuff in already in which they
- 1:27:40screw you. Everybody else, stay safe.
