104. Retailer Appreciation Wave 2025 (Mythic Legions, Cosmic Legions, Figura Obscura) · The Euro Legions Podcast

0:34
Welcome to episode 104 of the Allegiance podcast, and I hope
0:39
you enjoyed last week's Valentine themed episodes.
0:41
There'll be no, there'll be no such loving this week.
0:45
I'm afraid we're going to get back down to regular, regular
0:49
business, the boring stuff, you know, the figures and all that
0:53
kind of stuff that we're really in this for.
0:55
So how are you doing man all? Right, not too bad.
1:00
We've just been talking about the fact that I've just had to
1:02
stick through a terrible and united game, which hasn't put.
1:06
Me in. Yeah, well.
1:07
Leicester mood, but yeah. Everyone's had their sports team
1:11
letting them down. We you know, it's, it's tough
1:16
and rich. How are you doing?
1:17
Yeah, I'd sit through a shite second-half of my football team
1:20
as well, but we we managed to hang on for the win.
1:22
So that was something. Yeah.
1:23
And hey, it could, it could have been worse.
1:25
At least it was a rugby this weekend so I don't have to watch
1:26
Wales get shot on by whoever we were playing.
1:29
So that was that was a relief as well.
1:32
So, yeah, well. I suppose that gives us the hint
1:36
that we're recording this on the weekend because as I said last
1:40
week, I'm I'm away this week. So back in Ireland for a little
1:45
quick flying visit on Monday to Friday.
1:48
But should be fun. But we get this out there, and
1:51
then we'll see what happens in the world of Legions between now
1:55
and when I'm back, and we'll see what we do next week.
2:00
Sound good? Yeah, absolutely.
2:02
Yeah. So watch out some more posts on
2:04
the Cabal from me, guys. That's one thing to look out
2:06
for. Oh, what do you do?
2:07
I. Spent the last two days just
2:09
sorting out my display room, so now I can actually just get
2:13
stuff on the shelves. It got a bit out of hand the
2:15
last few months, so just boxes piled everywhere and just a
2:17
complete mess. So that's all been sorted, so I
2:21
can now put things on, get a few photographs done, get some BIOS,
2:26
put up, all that sort of stuff. So what's the space?
2:29
Well, before you do that, put them in our, our Discord or give
2:34
them the first, give them the first look, you know, plus
2:37
things get lost on Facebook. You know, any time I post
2:41
something on Facebook now, it just gets lost in the algorithm
2:45
unless people instantly kind of comment on it really quickly and
2:49
then it maybe gets pushed to the top.
2:51
But if if a few people scroll past it, it just seems to be
2:55
curtains for that post, you know, unless it's a post where
2:59
you're talking about shipping problems or something, then they
3:03
tend to get. Some whinge, you know, moaning,
3:05
going yeah, do anyone get there, blah blah blah.
3:11
Exactly. And so we're going to talk about
3:15
the retailer wave, obviously, which is already up for
3:18
pre-order and we'll talk a little bit then about the
3:21
pricing of the pre-order in our part of the world, as well as
3:25
the dollar pricing. And we're going to take a look
3:29
at some Necrominus stuff that's gone around in the in the groups
3:33
and on Instagram and that people have sent us.
3:35
So it sounds like a good way to round out the show this week.
3:40
Necronomic still ongoing you we didn't get retailer date yet.
3:45
We might have it by the time this episode is released.
3:48
So look out for that. And my, of course, as I
3:53
mentioned before, my an economic order was going to arrive when I
3:56
was away. But was it rich that you told me
4:00
that I should try and rearrange the date with FedEx?
4:04
And yeah, it was actually pretty straightforward.
4:06
Just had to click something in the in the e-mail I got and it
4:10
brought me through to a little thing where you could update the
4:13
date. Now, whether that works or not
4:15
is an entirely question. UK, FedEx, it works perfectly.
4:20
Whenever I've done it, it's worked perfectly.
4:21
But yeah. Yeah, it should work here.
4:24
They're they're very used to holding my box for days when
4:26
they have it. So they don't do it this time.
4:32
If they don't do it this time, I'm going to be upset.
4:34
I mean, it'll work out fine. It'll just that I'll have to get
4:36
the neighbor involved, you know? And yeah, that's.
4:39
Just curious if they don't extra for them to hold your box.
4:44
That was a. Valentine's episode.
4:46
Now, now you, you. We've passed that.
4:48
You have to wait another 365 days.
4:51
Extras. Extras for the tickling malm,
4:52
not the whole thing. Right.
4:54
Tickle your butt out. Tickle me, Malcolm.
4:59
I'm wondering, John, that you're not so pedantic whether they go
5:02
well, I know you've said you want it delivered on a different
5:04
date, but this is the date we have in the original stuff.
5:08
So we're just going to deliver it then anyway.
5:09
We have to stick to this date. Yeah.
5:13
And we want cash on delivery, not the, not the invoice that
5:16
you normally do, you know, then I'm going to have to drive over
5:20
and collect it after when they come back or something if they
5:22
still haven't. Well, I guarantee.
5:24
You the retail cast saga. You know if it doesn't work out.
5:28
There we go. I guarantee whenever the
5:31
retailer release is, they'll be delivered when I'm in the office
5:34
and my wife's at home. Oh, and these massive boxes will
5:38
turn up and I'll be in the doghouse.
5:41
The. Your emporium of cool necronom
5:43
the sort. Of yes, I got the all in, I got
5:45
a four extra Economus and a few little bits, so it's going to be
5:50
a big box. That's a lot of, that's a lot of
5:53
real estate, yeah. Yeah.
5:56
You're not going to be that smiling man that you were with
5:58
the you know when you post the picture of those years ago when
6:01
you had the values boxes. Oh, the box is stacked in there.
6:04
No, there'd be nobody holding the phone to take a picture of
6:07
that of the Economist. Boxes of the Necromanus all in
6:12
and did that. Does that all in come from there
6:14
that comes without like the hands back and things like that
6:16
or is that? Yeah, they're all insurance
6:19
coming out of that sort of stuff they're actually have to buy.
6:21
OK. But you don't really.
6:23
It's not a really big deal, is it?
6:25
Not at all, no. You know, if I want unpacked,
6:28
I'll get them. If I don't know, I won't.
6:29
Sort of think it's not. Not the end of the world.
6:33
OK. Shall we look at the retailer
6:35
wave then? I've put them in the order of
6:41
well, we already talked a bit about Anubis and Busted, so put
6:43
them to the end even though they were first revealed.
6:47
And we can talk a little bit more about them in this one just
6:50
for completeness. But the most important figure
6:53
first, which is clearly Mr. Snake himself, Vernas List Arden
7:05
scale the de Esser will have to be put on that particular
7:09
pronunciation. We wanted to not burn people's
7:12
ears. He's awesome.
7:17
I think it's the is the first thing everyone everyone in our
7:24
discord straight away wanted to know what Rich thought so Rich
7:28
what what do you think? I responded on the discord with
7:31
me but in not very believable, no.
7:37
In reality, I absolutely love this guy.
7:42
The green is awesome. I I'd prefer to know the colour
7:44
than green if I'm going to be really.
7:45
Pedantic, but what would you have gone for?
7:50
I don't know, maybe like a just a blue or maybe a purple or
7:54
something like that. I mean, Green's nice.
7:56
Olek is is kind of, you know. I know and that I'm sure that's
7:59
why they stayed away from it sort of thing, but.
8:01
Red would be the one I would say is the other option that they're
8:04
going to do for a snake I'm sure.
8:06
Oh, red would be interesting. Oh, I guess.
8:08
Red and blue, red and blue. So I think this was an awesome
8:13
choice. Oh yeah, absolutely.
8:14
I mean, I love the green. What they've done with the
8:16
green, I absolutely love. Yeah.
8:18
And I love, you know, it's the, is it the Thraxen armour, like
8:22
wrists and shins and that sort of stuff.
8:25
You know, we said at the time that was going to come through
8:27
to mythics and it worked brilliantly here, done in like
8:30
the wooden colours. I love the.
8:34
There's the new piece here between the knee and the shin
8:38
armor is there's a new bear legs snake piece that we haven't
8:43
received yet that is on the one of the Thraxians as well.
8:47
So it's not. It's on the second Thraxian
8:49
isn't. It second the brown one.
8:50
Yeah, so that's a good one to get in, you know, with the snake
8:56
figure. So yeah, we're getting lots of
8:58
cool parts here. I know the translucent bird, I
9:02
mean the orange works amazingly actually as a as a contrast to
9:05
the green. That's really great.
9:08
The snake again, I mean, I know you, they've used that snake
9:10
piece a few Times Now, but again, works great.
9:14
And just the the staff, I mean the staff in that sort of colour
9:17
scheme, it's yeah, just it works so well with the figure as a
9:21
whole sort of earthy sort of feel to the Browns and that sort
9:24
of thing. Well, it looks like you get a
9:27
choice of toppers for it as well.
9:29
You do, that's true. You get the kind of crotos slash
9:32
wit Topper and the regular hooked one that I think come
9:38
with Father Christmas, maybe what I remember from so Mal
9:43
translucent parts obviously floating your boat here and they
9:46
work. They work very well just with
9:48
the the figure and all that. Yeah, that translucent bird is
9:51
awesome. Why don't you set the scene with
9:54
the bio then we got 2 BIOS in this wave which is the the
9:57
mythic and the cosmic. So this is the mythic guy.
10:01
OK, Yep, so right. Venalis Arden Scale, the Quatl
10:07
Druid. Venalis art and Scale emerges
10:10
from the deep Wilds of the realm at a time of great transition
10:14
for Mythos. A powerful conjurer with the
10:17
ability to materialize beasts of pure magical energy, Venalis has
10:21
quietly watched the happenings of the realm for an age as he
10:25
counsels the heroes of Mythos as they suddenly grapple with new
10:29
threats to their peaceful existence.
10:32
Although extremely powerful and wise, Finales retains his
10:35
bipedal form as part of his belief that he still has much to
10:39
learn and an important role to play before he can evolve beyond
10:43
his current state of being. So he seems to be the link man
10:49
between the past and and what's the future, or at least one of
10:53
the link men. So this in the story, we had a
10:56
bit of a reset in the story with the ashes of Egg Bender and he
11:00
seems to be kind of in between the two, you know, or like a
11:06
kind of frees from the the older times and he's, you know, still
11:11
going into the New Times. And a nice little explanation
11:14
there about the why he doesn't have the single snake form
11:20
because that was explained previously.
11:23
As you know, they kind of grow into the the what's a bipedal,
11:28
we called it, or no, he is still bipedal.
11:30
Yeah, they grow into the snake. Part yeah so the snake the
11:34
single snake kind of lower torso would be for usually older more
11:38
mature snakes so are snake men and women so yeah what do you
11:48
think of that the. Fact.
11:49
He's still around now, though. It's like this gives him the end
11:52
now for her to have quattles and more bipedal ones on the
11:56
continents and that sort of thing.
11:58
You know, it's it's like, yeah, there's the link.
12:00
There you go. We can have as many of these as
12:01
you want. Super smart move and the the
12:06
soft goods cloak, cloak as well here, really nice.
12:10
And this is a regular price figure.
12:12
So you're $50 at retail or 50 lbs if you're yeah, which is
12:21
about $60. Yeah, something like that, yeah.
12:25
Thanks. Important of cool.
12:28
Your profit margins are so nice. So something else to say, but
12:37
this guy, he does have pauldrons as well.
12:39
They're the kind of very simple like Laura Bardrick type
12:43
pauldrons. Not sure if we'd be using them
12:47
with him. I mean, it looks good here under
12:49
the cloaks. Yeah.
12:50
And I guess it's, it's the sort of thing you'd expect maybe if
12:53
he, you know, at the end of the day he's a mage, but if he needs
12:56
to get, you know, a bit more physical, just grab his little
12:59
pauldrons and just pop them on sort of thing before he goes
13:01
into battle. So I like that.
13:04
Yeah, and you got the satchel, which is always a nice accessory
13:09
to get and this really cool bed and the red Death piece here at
13:15
the front that kind of. Like.
13:18
Fake looking but sorry really looking but fake cloth piece.
13:25
Yeah, it's a lovely piece then. It's really nice, yeah.
13:28
And because that was always expensive to get that piece if
13:32
you wanted to use it for a custom.
13:34
Whereas now you could get it off this guy and you could still
13:37
have this figure with the, you know, maybe a different torso
13:40
piece there or something. Or just you could use a soft
13:44
goods piece or something and use that piece then for something
13:48
else. I just realized I completely
13:50
missed the fact that he had a green soft good waste skirt
13:54
thing as well. Yeah.
13:56
Which I hadn't spotted until that picture looked a bit more
13:59
detailed. I like that.
14:00
Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, Yeah, It looks like a
14:03
similar green to the Zylonian guard.
14:05
So if you have your green Zylonian guard, if you're using
14:09
the plastic tabard with him and you have the green cloth piece,
14:13
maybe that could be used here up the the red death little taber
14:21
thing there. You and Trevor with the
14:24
beautiful environment shot here. This environment shot is so
14:28
good. It really gives you an
14:30
impression of the figure. Like what?
14:32
Like the character. Sorry, what?
14:34
He's what he's supposed to be like and all that kind of, you
14:38
know, he is an old kind of druid or wizard.
14:43
So yeah, I love it. Wise old snake.
14:47
Oh, yeah. So how many has gone in the
14:51
basket, Rich? Well, if we're calling him a
14:54
druid, they're a lot more than would have been otherwise
14:57
because they were renowned for living in Anglesey, where I'm
14:59
from, so. Wow, so there's even getting
15:03
into the local mythos there, yes?
15:04
So that's, you know, that's a big thing.
15:07
I think it's fair to say four or five will be purchased.
15:10
Yeah, yeah, we get on to it with maybe what I'm going to order
15:14
later, but yeah, I definitely would be getting more than one
15:17
of him. All right, anymore impressions
15:23
of this wonderful Figure 1? I think one of the best figures
15:27
in ages has been a lot of good figures, but still one of the
15:31
best. He's up there with you're the
15:33
ones. Absolutely, yeah, Especially
15:35
with all the the sort of reuse parts as well.
15:38
They've done a cracking job with this one.
15:39
Yeah, and exciting here. I mean, I know we'll probably
15:43
get the cosmic wave with the Traxion before we get him,
15:47
judging by the the calendar for this year of what's coming from
15:51
the factory, but still super cool that close behind we'll
15:55
have these parts again in a slightly different colour and in
15:59
mythic instead of cosmic, which is we always said those parts
16:03
would find their way to mythic and I wouldn't want to forget.
16:07
This. I wouldn't be at all surprised
16:08
if we get this guy before the cosmic.
16:10
One you think? No, that's wave 1 cosmic like,
16:14
yeah. Because wave 1 cosmic didn't
16:16
have the the. Answer did.
16:20
Yeah, didn't. I thought it was the second one,
16:22
the green. Fraction.
16:23
They had the green traction but it didn't have the the upper leg
16:26
bit today that was a brown. One, no, the upper leg that we
16:28
won't have, but the, the, the, the wooden kind of looking
16:33
pieces. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:37
Radio. Oh, there's a little rear view
16:40
of the cloak. Cloak.
16:41
So and you can wrap that snake around the the staff there.
16:49
Yeah, he looks very cool. Hood looks great, but the head
16:53
just fits it so good. Yeah.
16:58
Yeah, You could use this build on another character.
17:00
You could, you know, if you just took the limbs and the body and
17:02
the arms and the head, you could use all the other pieces to
17:06
build another type of character, you know, with the kind of an
17:10
armoured body or even, dare we say it, Rich, a barbarian.
17:16
No, no, absolutely not. Don't ruin it, John.
17:21
I was sure there was going to be a barbarian in this wave.
17:24
It's like that this character slot would be some sort of a
17:28
barbarian. I was, I don't know.
17:30
I'd convinced myself I didn't the closer it came to the
17:34
reveal, and I was hoping for it in one way, just to see your
17:40
reaction. Well, I think I said when the
17:43
when this came out, I was in work and then I turned my phone
17:46
on on my lunch break and there was like 40 messages and I'm
17:50
like, OK, either they've revealed something I'm going to
17:52
really like or they've revealed the barbarian one or the other.
17:55
The only reason I've got so many messages.
17:58
Love it, right, Matt? Yeah.
18:05
OK, Ghost of Christmas Past. So she's coming in the Marley
18:18
colours, basically the the Marley retailer colours.
18:22
Well, I was really, when this came out, I was like, yeah,
18:25
still don't need it. And then was it Jeremy put the
18:27
picture up of the two next to each other, so her with a
18:30
screaming face and Marley with a screaming face.
18:32
And it's like God damn it, I now need one of these.
18:36
I, I really, really like her in this colour.
18:38
I, I, I, as I, as you know, I thought we might get more
18:42
translucent, but I really, I think it looks really cool and
18:46
it makes sense that they're going to fill out the, you know,
18:50
this blue tinted ghost. So perhaps that's what we'll be
18:54
getting from now on for those in the retailer waves.
18:58
So. Yeah, if they're going to do,
19:00
yeah. If they're, if they are a kind
19:02
of a like a, a group within a within a team, then they should
19:08
be broadly similar, I think. Yeah.
19:12
And they are always striking. Colours aren't they?
19:15
When? Inverse, like it, like the new,
19:16
the Anubis and Buster are similar verb variations of the
19:22
of the, you know, colour scheme. They don't go in different
19:26
directions to each other, you know.
19:28
Yeah, I still don't like this figure.
19:30
And, and it's just all the soft goods.
19:33
It's too much soft goods. You know, like the previous guy,
19:40
like, yeah, he had the big cloak or whatever, but you could still
19:42
see the figure underneath it with her.
19:44
You just see the arms and the head.
19:47
So it's, it's too much like a doll to me.
19:54
And then I don't like the character enough to to be
19:58
tempted by it. I love all the bits like the
20:00
street lamp. And that, you know, I'm tempted
20:03
to get it for that stuff, but at the price do I need to spend?
20:11
Could I get another snake man instead?
20:14
Probably, you know, cool. Look here the trace head again,
20:20
Rich. It's not the trace head, it's
20:23
different, it's slightly. Different.
20:27
She's slightly different headed, sorry.
20:29
Yeah, yeah. It's a really, really sculpted,
20:31
It's a younger looking for. It's, it's not quite so obvious
20:34
here, but it's a younger looking sculpt.
20:37
So it's meant to look kind of childlike, I think very young
20:40
female. And it does in person.
20:43
Yeah, and the soft goods again, the white belt looks good.
20:51
That's a good contrast. Yeah.
20:56
And then this, yeah. This one is.
20:58
This the one that sold you rich? This is one that sold me, yeah.
21:01
Yeah, yeah, I would not surprised.
21:03
It looks like actually make that Marley head makes a lot more
21:09
sense. Well, I mean, it made sense and
21:11
now but it's like really makes sense or her maybe her second
21:14
head makes sense now when I see this picture because her second
21:18
head, the secret one, which is this one.
21:20
No, it's not secret anymore. It looked more like an Easter
21:23
egg, like kind of oh, here's something to put in your vampire
21:27
faction if you fancy it. Now it's like, oh wow, it
21:31
actually is working with the character now because it kind of
21:34
fits with what Marnie has as well.
21:36
I thought it look, the previous one had sort of vibes with the
21:39
pale skin of her gave you sort of vibes of sort of yokai of
21:44
some kind from. And I saw a few people say that
21:48
from sort of, you know, yokai like Japanese monsters, let's
21:53
say, you know, and it gave those vibes because of the mouthful of
21:58
the teeth and all that. But yeah, it's not quite this
22:00
one feels more like it could be sort of, I don't know, the
22:05
nightmare shot, doesn't it as well?
22:06
Oh, my God. As yeah, as she disappears or
22:09
something, you know, warning him he's, you know.
22:13
So this is making you buy this figure then rich?
22:17
Almost certainly, yes. Yeah.
22:20
Just for easily so you'll ever on the shelf in this with pose
22:23
or with him or. With him, I'm not sure about the
22:26
pose, but certainly with him. Yeah, but like the set up then,
22:30
yeah. Yes.
22:32
Right. Well.
22:35
That's I'm easily swayed at times.
22:39
Well done Trevor. And then this one is pretty cool
22:43
as well. It's kind of like the almost
22:45
like a married couple type shot with him with the Marley stoic
22:50
head and her with the kind of it's the head we were just
22:56
talking about the younger looking trace head.
22:59
They're not looking very happy if it's a marriage, if it's a
23:01
wedding fight. No, he looks like he's been,
23:04
he's been forced into it, doesn't he?
23:06
Yeah. He tried to escape, that's what
23:08
he got. Bandages around his head.
23:09
The father in law's whacked in one.
23:11
It's like you will get married. Yep, right.
23:19
Next we got Cosmic. So I thought we were going to
23:24
get another Cosmic and we got the Tusk Phantom Trooper.
23:30
So what do we think of this? I, well, I got a couple of
23:35
messages going. You called it.
23:36
You called it because of course, I in our predictions said I
23:41
think we'd get a Horde Trooper this year, a Horde Trooper
23:44
tribute this year. I must admit I thought it'd be a
23:46
different build, but I think this looks awesome.
23:49
The colour scheme, whatever it's meant to be, the colour scheme
23:53
is looks fantastic. In terms of the building, how
23:58
are you thinking more like the space suit like?
24:01
Yeah, I thought, because of course the Horde troopers tend
24:03
to have that round, you know colour, don't they?
24:07
That their. Head is then.
24:09
Peering over, but I, I think this looks great as well.
24:13
And as I say that whatever it's meant to be that colour scheme
24:17
and it's another builder that, you know, they, we've been
24:21
spoiled a bit with these Tusk characters, aren't we?
24:23
These Tusk troopers, they're tending to be, you know,
24:27
multiple setups to, to, to sell multiples of them to us.
24:31
And I mean I've I'll be buying multiples of this one.
24:36
Who's that marketing guy? You know, it's like he knows
24:39
what he's doing. But yeah, I really, really like
24:45
this guy. Was really pleased to see it as
24:47
well at Cosmic. I thought we'd probably get
24:49
cosmic, and I think all three of us had sort of said, yeah, we'll
24:53
get cosmic and mythic. But I was really glad.
24:56
I'm really pleased to see it as well.
24:58
Yeah. My my question was definitely
25:01
what angle is it going to be like?
25:03
What are what are they? Is it going to be something like
25:07
the fish or rice? Again, either another variation
25:10
of that is shadow circle thing or whether it was going to be
25:16
another character not to something that we don't, you
25:22
know, that we don't know about yet.
25:23
You know, that we wouldn't have thought was in the in the ball
25:27
game like the this Fisher rice was.
25:29
And no, we got, we've got a power con kind of tribute where
25:35
there's no Paracon, which is awesome.
25:37
Yeah. And it seems they seem to be
25:40
living in cosmic these days, which I don't have any problem
25:43
with it. They work a bit better, don't
25:46
they? Because the colours, yeah, don't
25:48
feel quite so obtrusive. Obtrusive, intrusive perhaps, is
25:51
the word. In in in cosmic.
25:56
Yeah, and they didn't show any pictures with this helmet with
26:02
the yellow triangle on. And I've seen a comment that is
26:06
like, well, we don't want to be too on the nose, but other
26:12
people seem to be posting pictures where they have the
26:16
Masters of the Universe logo in the in the, you know, in the
26:20
picture. I mean, it's only their personal
26:22
Instagram and, you know, they're excited about the figure, but
26:25
maybe not the best idea if you're you love the Horseman.
26:30
So yeah, obviously horror trooper, but yeah, really works
26:36
well, really works well. Definitely.
26:40
You you thought that it was possibly going to be the the the
26:43
new space suits before we got a horror trooper male.
26:47
Yeah, yeah, I did. But as I say, I think actually,
26:51
you know, this works, doesn't it?
26:52
And you can, they've kind of mimicked that sort of, as I say,
26:56
it was that element of the Horde troopers.
26:59
Their head, their heads kind of tend to be tucked in.
27:01
And, you know, their collar comes up here.
27:04
But they've sort of mimicked that here, haven't they, with
27:06
that that piece that you get on them.
27:11
Oh, slight. No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:16
And he looks really cool. As I say, I'm very happy with
27:18
what I'm seeing. And as well they gave, you know,
27:22
keep putting him as a retailer exclusive is really cool for the
27:25
retailers because this one will be a popular one Army builder.
27:29
If you if you like him, there's no nothing stopping you buy more
27:34
than one. And that's got to be good for
27:37
the retailers. So for sure, for sure.
27:40
Yeah, we got a lot of cool parts here.
27:42
I love this chest plug here. We don't get that as often as
27:46
some of the other ones. This kind of this oh, just say
27:51
kind of curved one. Yeah, kind of almost like an
27:54
overall the diamond shape, but more organic looking than that.
27:58
It was on red and black in the middle on oh, it was on the
28:06
tiger. It was on the tiger and it was
28:10
on Fisher Rice as well. He has, yes.
28:15
So I think the, I think the baton as well, the lightning
28:18
baton. Looks really good and the red
28:21
looks really cool. It's more more like that Hoard
28:24
Trooper toy red and you know, like a metallic red is more of a
28:29
flat red. But yeah, looks really great.
28:31
Yeah, that's the one. But I don't like, I have to
28:33
admit, is the red on the weapons.
28:34
I know why they've done it and it makes sense for a hoard
28:36
trooper side of things, but I don't.
28:38
I don't think it works at all. Oh, wow.
28:40
OK, I. Really just pretty a bit of mat
28:43
or sorry, metallic flake on it, you know?
28:46
That'll do if you're rich, no? Yeah, or just not use those
28:50
weapons. There's plenty of other ones.
28:51
Send them to me, I'll paint them for you.
28:55
This kind of this more slim down look with the with the other
28:59
helmet as well. I mean it's still the bulky
29:01
figure, but that helmet looks makes it look a little bit more
29:04
slimmed down. That gives you another look.
29:06
This maybe this look specifically here with the
29:08
pauldrons and the helmet as opposed to that big bulky chess
29:14
piece. That's also another cool look
29:16
that you can have. So you could have your main type
29:20
phantom Trooper, which would be to represent the horror trooper.
29:23
And then you have this guy as kind of the grunts, you know,
29:28
the the cannon fodder that are going.
29:33
Maybe they'd be hanging off back behind, you know, maybe that
29:39
shall we hear the buyer for this one?
29:41
Because we have and also got a buyer for this one and it's a
29:46
cool one. Yes, but I've got we should have
29:49
said that about the previous buyer actually do really I don't
29:51
know you think you didn't. You're very cool buyers, both of
29:54
them, both these buyers, right? So Tusk Phantom Trooper.
29:58
While the traders Union of the five circles of Cosmere and
30:01
maintain numerous facilities throughout the universe, Their
30:05
primary headquarters are located in Mesos, a part of the high
30:10
economic district of the third ring, discreetly providing
30:15
security. The vast complex that is the
30:17
centre of the union strength of the soldiers known as the Tusk
30:20
Phantom Troopers. Despite the fact that the
30:23
Traders Union officially maintains that the Phantom
30:26
Troopers do not exist, there are countless records of these
30:30
coldly efficient soldiers in action.
30:33
Rumour has it that their ranks are comprised of both organic
30:36
soldiers in heavy armour as well as fully mechanized drones
30:40
outfitted with the same gear. Completely indistinguishable
30:44
from each other, the organic soldiers provide strategic
30:47
direction as unit commanders, using the mechanical troopers to
30:51
quickly and violently quell any threats to the Tusk Complex.
30:59
So that's a great little nod to the the fact that they don't
31:04
exist in the main storyline, this phantom thing.
31:07
Yeah, that's a great way of doing that.
31:09
That's a good point. Yeah.
31:11
You know, the they always say that, you know, these are kind
31:14
of don't exist in the main Canon, but we give them a story
31:17
anyway just to go along with the figure.
31:20
So that works for that. If they're saying they don't
31:24
exist, they're giving red weapons is not the great way of
31:26
doing that. Well, you either see them
31:32
completely or you don't see them at all, you know?
31:34
Maybe if he's, if he's, if you see the weapon and know it's
31:36
red, then it's too late at that point, so.
31:39
I think so too. And a little bit of Fallout
31:43
vibes here with, you know, the human inside the, the suit
31:46
maybe. I mean, they're bigger.
31:51
I mean the hoard troopers are like certainly the most classic
31:54
ones have different alien type looks and they.
31:58
Were originally designed anyway for the cartoons so that they
32:02
would be robots, so Singing Man could actually destroy them.
32:07
Or, you know, whatever character.
32:09
Dismember them, yeah. Could could hurt them and the
32:13
kids wouldn't be traumatized because they were actually just
32:15
robots as opposed to people. How times have changed with the
32:19
cartoons nowadays. Yeah, I believe in back in those
32:24
days, I think, you know, we we would have been able for it, I
32:27
think. Yeah.
32:29
And you had Tom and Jerry knocking the crap out of each
32:32
other since forever. You know, this is true.
32:36
Yeah. Roadrunner and Wiley County.
32:38
Yeah, yeah. Anvil on the head.
32:40
How many times can one coaty hit the anvil on the head and still
32:43
survive? And that's not a good example
32:45
for children, is it? No, right.
32:48
Let's not get down the animal rabbit hole, so to speak, after
32:54
last week. So next one then is Frankie
33:04
Frankenstein's This is Monster Now as opposed to feature
33:10
change, That was a little subtle change.
33:12
Yeah, green version of Frankenstein, all the stuff
33:18
again. I love that they put these all
33:21
the stuff you get pictures now first on the on the post It it
33:27
just I think it sells it. You know, it's like here's all
33:30
the stuff. So he looks great.
33:36
I wouldn't have complained if we got him first.
33:38
I also like the other one, so I don't have it's not like goes to
33:44
Christmas past here at all for me.
33:45
I just like everything here. Hagnon head in green.
33:50
You get the skull that goes into one of the jars or glass things.
33:56
It does, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah.
33:59
That's what, that's what. Yeah, it fits in one of the
34:01
jars, I think the domed one if I remember rightly.
34:04
I've not tried it yet myself. I haven't opened my Frankenstein
34:09
yet. It's still there right behind
34:10
me, just over this shoulder, sitting there smiling at me.
34:15
Just haven't had time to fully open it and appreciate it and
34:20
leave it lying on the shelf waiting to be set up.
34:27
So it's great to all the bits here get a different paint job.
34:30
So the books, the little spinning wheel thing, the the
34:35
wraps, the table, everything is different colour, even the
34:42
jacket. A great chance to get this
34:45
jacket again. Again, you probably won't get
34:48
that jacket ever in a regular figure.
34:50
So you know, you could say it's expensive just to buy for parts,
34:54
but probably the only way you're going to get this jacket unless
34:57
you do trade with somebody. But even if you do trade, you'd
35:01
probably be paying the price of maybe $30 just for the jacket
35:05
anyway. So price of a Legion builder and
35:09
it's a. Good way to justify the price
35:11
repainting everything as well, isn't it?
35:12
It's, you know. Yeah, it's like a jacket.
35:15
It's kind of like this patchwork quilt on the.
35:17
It's really nicely done. Can't remember the first one.
35:21
I should have, I should have put a picture together actually of
35:23
the old one in this one. But I don't think they had the
35:26
full patchwork, different colours.
35:28
I think that was more just patches of the same material.
35:33
But yeah, it looks good. Is this one that you need to get
35:37
to get one of rich? Definitely this will be my
35:40
Frankenstein's creature monster. Whichever phrase I'm going to
35:44
use. The yellow one was always going
35:46
to go into my Egyptian themed, a giant golem type sort of thing.
35:52
So yes. And now I can have a
35:54
Frankenstein's monster as well. So all over.
35:56
Which which head do you have on them in the Egyptian team?
35:59
Or is it a? Is it a custom head?
36:01
No, it's it's the bald, snarling 1.
36:05
OK, OK, so this one, if you have the, if you see the picture on
36:09
the screen, there's one down and below by his.
36:11
Legs. Yes.
36:12
By his feet on the screen, yeah. But literally by the feet of the
36:16
figure and the spare feet, yes, are the.
36:19
Yeah, all sorts of feet. There's feet everywhere.
36:23
But no, I'm really like, I'm really glad.
36:24
That's what he's so mad, the old smell.
36:27
I mean, somebody asked, somebody asked Jeremy, and he addressed
36:32
this on his show, saying, well, hang on a minute, isn't it
36:35
Universal Monsters got this sort of look and he's like, no, no,
36:38
no, he's like, there's five things that is like trademark to
36:41
them. And you have to you're allowed
36:44
to use I think 2, I think they said without getting in trouble.
36:47
OK, cool. So, yeah, because that's that's.
36:50
One is the green. Is it?
36:53
I presume the green is one of them, yeah?
36:54
Well, I, yeah, I feel like Jeremy or somebody had
36:57
previously said they avoided that because it was part of the
37:03
Universal Monster trademarks. I don't know if they said those
37:08
words, but you know, they said it was representative of
37:11
Universal Monsters version, which is why I didn't think we'd
37:14
get the green one. But I really, I'm pleased we
37:16
have. I really like him in green.
37:18
Yeah, they've obviously done their homework, so that's
37:21
awesome. Yeah, he's definitely tempting.
37:26
Definitely tempting. I'm going to get a couple parts
37:29
and to display, yeah, no pun intended on the parts,
37:34
obviously. So you're going to display him
37:41
as is? Oh yeah, I'm going to make him
37:46
more like I'm going to give him like I've, I've got on the
37:49
existing one. I've got the long hair because
37:51
that's kind of, you know, from the book or whatever.
37:54
It's iconic for that look, yeah. Yeah, I'm going to go with the
37:57
square head on the green one, I think because that's a bit more
37:59
like that one as well, so. Square and I've just checked and
38:04
the the first version, the back of the coat wasn't as obvious.
38:07
It was, it's obvious that it's patchwork, but it's it's all the
38:09
same sort of blacks. And that sort of stuff.
38:11
So that's. Another reason I want this one
38:13
as well because this slightly different.
38:15
Coat. Yeah, I'm tempted to get it.
38:20
You know, if I was to get one, I'm tempted to get 2 for parts.
38:23
But the where I am at the moment is probably just getting
38:27
multiples of the meeting cosmic and maybe even these other ones.
38:31
But. He is one of the more pricey
38:33
figures, isn't he, to do that with?
38:34
Yeah. What is he in the UK Analysis
38:37
He. Wasn't he 70 or something like
38:40
that? He was very expensive.
38:41
He. Was he was 80, Wasn't.
38:42
He thinking the dollars, yeah. Yeah, he's €73 here, which is a
38:48
good conversion of the dollar price.
38:49
Yeah. 7499. Yeah, in this case you're paying
38:53
even more in pounds than yeah, ouchy.
39:00
Yeah, that's tough. And yeah, I'm tempted to get
39:07
like 3 of each of the snake and the and the phantom trooper.
39:12
I'll leave it at that from my pre-order, but yeah, let's see.
39:17
And then we anymore. So we did talk about Bastet and
39:22
Anubis before. Any more thoughts on those?
39:26
I must admit, the more I've thought about it, I'm not so
39:29
sure I'm going to pick them up right.
39:34
Little bit of sober reflection here.
39:36
Or what? Yeah, I I like the more her.
39:46
I am 100% happy with the original figure.
39:52
I don't think I like the Reds. They look cool and the parts,
39:55
but if I was going to buy it, I would literally just buy it for
39:58
parts and I don't know if I need to do that.
40:04
If we talk about Anubis, sorry, I'm jumping ahead a bit here.
40:08
Kind I I like the use of the black body rather than the the
40:14
brown body for him, but I don't think I like what they've done
40:21
with the paint apps for him. Other than that, I like the the
40:25
the sort of weathered cloth look and on him I like in the
40:32
previous one. I like the the the red and with
40:36
the blue, I feel like the blue and blue doesn't work as well
40:39
for me. We'll see.
40:42
It's one of those I can wait, can't I?
40:44
Until. Where do you net out on these
40:49
Rich? I'm definitely still getting
40:52
them. I think when we said last time,
40:54
I think I was talking about two of each sort of thing.
40:56
Might just be the one of each, but I just really like the black
40:59
colours, particularly the Bastet.
41:01
I think I prefer the Bastet look with the black and the blackhead
41:05
and everything like that. So yeah, yeah, I really like it.
41:10
An Anubis is just a cool figure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:16
Great. Parrots, everything.
41:18
I mean, look at all the stuff you get.
41:19
Dog and the Cat. I've estimated it's the, the,
41:23
the stuff that comes, the stuff that comes with them.
41:26
He's he's very, yeah, he's very cool.
41:29
The yeah, Coptic jars. Is that what they're called?
41:32
Yeah, no pictures. Canopic jars in that ivory
41:36
colour look really really cool. Yeah.
41:38
And there's sort of ivory or even sort of sandstone type
41:42
colouring on there. Yeah, that does, Yeah.
41:45
And the old Jackal might be better than the, the, the black
41:50
Jackal in this instance. So, yeah, I, I, we'll see.
41:54
As I say, maybe not immediately for them.
41:57
Maybe see how I go, you know, see if I can pick them up later
42:01
if I decide to want them. Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm the same.
42:07
Yeah. But great for people that
42:10
missed, missed the first one especially or, or wanted them in
42:15
this colour instead or just want more of those parts or slightly
42:21
lower price. So they're priced at €68 in
42:25
euros, I guess $70.00, aren't they?
42:30
Yeah. Yeah, and 70 LB Emporium.
42:32
So are we getting shafted again? Yay.
42:37
I don't. Understand too bitter because
42:41
they do a fabulous job of packing and their their
42:43
communications and that are awesome but they need to get on
42:47
board with a matching the dollar thing rather than just swapping
42:50
it straight forward. Yeah, absolutely.
42:54
Yeah, right. So that's the retailer wave, not
43:00
a great wave. Very excited to get that.
43:04
I think it's tradition officially a tradition.
43:06
Now we get the cosmics or not the cosmics, the Figura obscuras
43:10
and one mythic and one cosmic. That's been two years in a row.
43:14
So I can't say fair than that. And we got with the snake man.
43:19
They they came up with the snake man thing because of how popular
43:24
an Indian was and they decided to get more snake characters out
43:29
there this way as opposed to having us, you know, maybe wait
43:36
a bit longer and kind of go through another pre-order wave
43:39
and then put a snake man in there.
43:41
That does suggest to me there mightn't be a snake man in in
43:44
the next mythic wave. Not to burst your bubble there,
43:47
Rich. No, no, I mean to be honest, I'm
43:50
expecting lizard men from now on so.
43:55
What's the difference? It's a lizard, not snake.
43:58
What the hell is wrong with you? Oh, it's like that.
44:03
Yeah, it's like, you know, bigger armoured heads, you know,
44:09
clawed hands, maybe in feet. OK, more than you don't.
44:15
Get me started. It's going to we've already
44:18
established something. It's going to be shark men next
44:20
for the water based one. And then when they reach land,
44:23
it's the gnomes, the fungi and the lizards.
44:25
Oh. God forgot about that.
44:29
Sorry. Listen.
44:35
I think right let's. Get into some I'm sorry man.
44:38
Yeah, no, I do, I do. I think we're going to get more
44:42
reptilian type characters throughout this year,
44:45
definitely. Whether they'll be not, whether
44:47
they'll go as far as sculpting all new parts all over, or maybe
44:51
just new heads, I don't know. So I'll take new.
44:55
Tails as well. You'd take new heads, would you?
45:00
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
45:03
Right. Did you see Toy Bro put up a
45:07
review of Stavros, the toy store?
45:11
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, has he got on?
45:14
Did he say how early that is? Sample.
45:17
It's factory sample. OK, so it is the figure, but
45:23
like plastic the figure. So and he just got it early from
45:27
them to to do a review and I suppose, you know, help them
45:31
promote the rest of the stock they have.
45:35
So yeah, it looks great. Yeah.
45:37
Looks really good. There's more paint around the
45:39
face than looks on the figure. So it's kind of got bits of
45:43
purple and green around the eye and stuff like that and more
45:47
detail. Excellent.
45:49
He showed it without the soft goods.
45:51
Looks great. Yeah.
45:53
So very nice figure. Soft goods work really well.
45:56
So I think that's going to be a hit and I'm going to put it in
46:02
my mythic collection. Even if it's not in mythics.
46:06
He's gone right in there. Oh.
46:07
Absolutely. Yeah, I've got to shelf for like
46:10
the special characters that's oh.
46:13
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's got like the
46:15
quadrants and the unknown one and those characters on.
46:21
So he's going to go on. That demistros.
46:23
Demistros the not quite in line with the rest of them, but the
46:29
Furious 4 are on that shelf as well.
46:32
That's to separate them in fairness.
46:35
That was more what they always didn't want them.
46:38
They might be. They might be getting
46:40
romantically involved. And who's the other one?
46:45
The warrior beasts one as well. Yeah, they're all on there here.
46:49
He must be coming soon. The Zolocon is on next weekend,
46:51
isn't it? Yeah, and I'm.
46:53
This weekend, just buy. A ticket and spend an absolute
46:56
fortune on a figure. Don't do it, don't do it, don't
46:59
do it. Someone send Mal the translucent
47:03
head and then you can get a regular version.
47:05
I like Mal's just dropping like the Billy Big Balls comment here
47:08
going, Oh yeah, I've just got the shelf with all the random
47:10
stuff on because I've got so much display room now because
47:12
I've put, you know, another set of units out and say whatever,
47:15
whatever. Well, how much is?
47:18
How much display room do you have now, Rich?
47:20
Not as much as mouth, no. Have you just found that you're
47:22
getting less? Less and less?
47:24
No. I think, I think, I think you've
47:25
probably got more because I've only got those two in there and
47:30
then it's in another room. Yours is all in one room though.
47:35
It is true, but I've I've only got 4 of the 80 centimetre
47:38
Billy's. So yeah.
47:40
That's, that's, that's all I've got, really.
47:43
Yeah, and a couple of details. They've got other stuff in.
47:50
Anyway, moving on. Moving along, right, Let's move
47:54
on to Necronomus, yeah? This is Stefan Delator, Deep
47:58
Sword Customs, and you're listening to the Euro Allegiance
48:01
podcast. Still haven't managed to open
48:04
all of them. No.
48:05
How far have you got? Still only got the three open.
48:08
I've been talking about doing the moving stuff around.
48:12
I've been spending a lot of time putting MOTU Origins figures out
48:17
and unpacking them because a lot of them were still in their box
48:20
and moving, generally moving a load of stuff around, making
48:25
space for storage and that sort of thing.
48:28
So you were watching football or soccer this afternoon when you
48:32
could have been opening Nick or Anonymous Wave?
48:36
Is this what you're telling me here?
48:39
You're in trouble here, Mal. Like I'll say this well, the
48:42
other there, here's another story, so.
48:46
This is what the podcast is for Stories.
48:48
So the just as I started doing all this like sorting and
48:55
packing stuff, we we have a locally and in this country, I
49:02
guess in other parts of the country, ritual have to tell me
49:05
this. We, we, we have a rubbish or
49:09
garbage, as the Americans would say collection and a recycling
49:12
collection. So just after I'd started to do
49:16
this and develop loads of plastic and loads of card
49:21
because I opened things and bin the, they went on strike.
49:28
Sorry and and and have decided to and initially they were like,
49:35
oh, we're on strike this day. Just leave you your recycling
49:38
out and we'll pick it up later in the week.
49:41
And that's an effective strike. Well, leave your stuff out.
49:45
We're striking, but it's not bothered here.
49:47
The first week they did that I left it out and because of where
49:52
I am and the living in a single Storey, all I've got is boxes to
49:56
put stuff in so most of mine ended up across the neighborhood
49:59
anyway. Because the winds boxes all over
50:03
Birmingham. Well no, it was before I got
50:05
onto all that stuff to be fair, but then they decided to cancel
50:08
the the collections altogether whilst they sorted it out.
50:12
So I now have piles of plastic trays in my kitchen just because
50:19
they don't sound. Is there each other?
50:20
Very. Well, they're nowhere you could
50:21
go to like, deliberate yourself. Yeah.
50:25
Oh, you could, but that's. Not really.
50:26
Well, it's fine. That's not recycling then, is
50:29
it? Well, the the the the the tip
50:32
tends to have. Oh, they have a.
50:34
Yeah, they have. Yeah, certainly one by me they
50:36
got one for. Everything there basically.
50:39
It's just getting there and doing it, you know, in something
50:42
else to fit in, isn't it so? Yeah, true.
50:46
Oh well, Do you pay for that service or is that a public
50:49
service? It's part of your council tax.
50:52
Yeah. So you're paying for it.
50:54
Yeah. And the council tax is not going
50:56
to bring it in. And they take and they're not
50:57
delivering it. Yeah.
50:58
Oh, I hear it. The world has gone.
51:01
The world has gone. Anyway, we have this beautiful
51:03
picture on the screen here in front of us from he's probably,
51:08
if he's watching this, he's probably screaming and going,
51:10
that's my picture. Why aren't they talking about
51:12
it? And so we have a we have a
51:14
wonderful chat going with our friend Brett Stoddart and we
51:18
regularly chat with him and message thread.
51:21
And he sent us some wonderful pictures from his Necronominus
51:27
wave opening. And then when I said, oh,
51:29
they're awesome, I'm going to use some of those.
51:30
It's OK if I use some of those for this week's episode to talk
51:36
about, you know, Necronominus arriving, whatever.
51:38
And then he sent even more and some some more even fancier
51:44
ones, not just ones where he's got them plunked out in the
51:48
table and he got his Dios out and everything.
51:50
So this is Necronominus with Columbus.
51:53
This is the dream shot. You know, it's nuts, isn't it?
51:57
Yeah. Is he good?
51:58
It's so good, isn't it? And this is an amazing skeleton
52:03
setup. So he's got Necronominus and the
52:05
children and Margulit. Four of his five children.
52:10
Yeah, but it's there with the dog he got.
52:13
I don't know why they're hanging the skeleton There's, you know,
52:18
that's. Yeah.
52:20
It should be an issue. It should be a nice of the
52:22
order, shouldn't it really, rather than a skeleton?
52:24
Or maybe that's someone they've, you know, taken care of and now
52:27
Nico Normans has gone to bring it back and make it undead.
52:31
Yeah. OK, OK, all is forgiven.
52:33
But beautiful wide angle shot there.
52:38
I'd say a sizeable dial. Yeah.
52:41
I don't know who does this dial, but it's I'm sure it's one of
52:44
the IT does it look like a crash box?
52:46
Customs phone maybe? Or something else?
52:49
I just realised I said the wrong thing though, didn't I?
52:51
Because hasn't he got? Isn't his his children?
52:56
Was Beulith one of his children? Yes.
52:59
She was so who? So was it 6?
53:01
Children. He had six kids, Yeah.
53:03
Berardak. Wasn't he one of the kids as
53:05
well? Yeah.
53:07
And then? Thoracus.
53:07
Thoracus. Yeah, yeah, Cool, cool.
53:10
So six children. Sorry, I just realised as I was
53:13
we were looking at this awesome picture.
53:18
Yeah, so really, really nice picture there and then we got
53:26
some of the undead builders there.
53:28
So they were they were ones that people didn't initially go for I
53:32
think in in the pictures, but they're starting to emerge in a
53:35
lot of pictures I'm seeing in the different posts that people
53:38
are putting up of the people that have got it.
53:40
Obviously I. Think people are enjoying using
53:43
those heads on the on different figures as well sort of thing
53:45
so. No, can't wait to get them open.
53:51
Yeah, so that's kind of two setups.
53:55
He must have got multiples of of them then, because he's got two
53:58
builds, it looks like. Yeah, and they're 2.
54:02
The zombie. It's not the translucent parts.
54:05
See their mouth? No translucent.
54:09
Although I don't really like the head with the jaw hanging off as
54:11
well, so yeah. It's true that that one is.
54:15
You want that did does that come in translucent as well?
54:18
No. No, no, it's just very cool.
54:21
We got the tuberculae and his little dog Buddy is that dog
54:26
now, Richard. Yeah, I'll give you a dog on
54:30
that one, John. That's one dog in that.
54:31
Wolf. Brett described him as a wolf,
54:33
didn't he? I think, yeah, right.
54:35
Sorry, Brett, Rich said. It was a dog.
54:38
I mean a dwarf and a dog on the same thing basically.
54:40
So I've. Got my little Tubercula buddy
54:43
here. I'm giving him the wings though
54:45
because. Show us.
54:47
Like, I like him like this sort of, I mean.
54:50
How does he feel in hand? Is it very?
54:52
He's very. Cool.
54:52
Very nice. Yeah, I love him.
54:54
He's I love these 2.0 skeleton. Very solid, yeah.
54:58
Yeah, yeah, brilliant, brilliant.
55:01
Yes, right. That's that one again, and then
55:09
we move on to some of the people.
55:11
Joe Gonsalves. He put up a picture of the dark
55:15
4 together on the horses. So I had to grab that one off
55:19
Instagram and Joe under score G dot customs.
55:24
If you don't know Joe, you should go give him a follow.
55:26
One of the nicest men in mythos, let's say.
55:29
Oh yeah, good chat with Joe. You meet John at Legions school.
55:33
Super chill guy, super chill guy.
55:35
You catch him on the the off world channel a lot.
55:37
And obviously Legion's quest, if you like the DND type of show,
55:42
where they do kind of campaigns and they're doing one set,
55:46
unofficial one, but set in with us with their own characters, so
55:52
and it's very good. Displaying like this is a great
55:55
idea as well, because the one issue I'm going to have, because
55:57
I'm going to have mine all on one shelf, is that Necronominus
56:02
and Arathea are going to get in each other's way with the big
56:05
wings and the Yeah. Yeah, he has the wings nicely
56:09
tucked here on them, and he has, I guess he could put one further
56:13
back than the other like he has here.
56:15
Yeah, Arathea, he's going to work Back of the shelf for mine.
56:19
He's a big dude. Yeah, I'm see.
56:22
They're not going to be on the horses with me.
56:23
I've I've reused the horses. For something else.
56:26
Oh dude, it's going to be. They're all something different.
56:29
None of them are going to actually be with the main
56:32
people. 4 horsemen, sons, Horses, yeah.
56:38
It's about the men, not the horses or the people.
56:41
Shout out to Curtis for his exploded figure of use.
56:45
This is a new thing he's doing on the art breaker channel so he
56:49
pose the figures all apart. Obviously he's his fingers are
56:53
in ribbons now, but every time he's doing these videos because
56:57
he's had to put these figures in hot water or use his heat gun or
57:01
whatever he has or hair dryer and it takes the figure apart,
57:06
takes this wonderful picture like a thumbnail picture for of
57:11
just the whole figure taken apart.
57:13
And then that's the start of the review.
57:15
He starts with all the parts in the table and he goes through
57:18
the various different things, does some builds, maybe shows,
57:22
you know, it's different from figure to figure, but it's a
57:27
nice way of looking at a unique angle on it because there's
57:30
there is already people that do the review, the the regular
57:34
review that we see for so many different types of figures and
57:39
which is great, but you have to either be it's hard to be better
57:43
than a lot of the guys that are out there at that.
57:45
So this is a different take. It's awesome and.
57:50
It's it's perfect. I'm just teasing Curse.
57:56
This is great. All messages.
57:58
He's already typed the message. I was going to say it's good to
58:02
see that he's experimenting and stuff too.
58:04
He's clearly been inspired by my art that I gave him and he's
58:07
trying to just do more artistic stuff with his reviews.
58:09
So I'll take the credit for that.
58:11
Thank you. They're.
58:12
They're they're the perfect toy slash figures to do this Yeah,
58:17
don't like because. It's I think it gives people
58:20
that don't know as much as we do about the figures just from
58:23
being in the community or you can do that with them because I
58:28
think people that collect say a Marvel Legends or you know, Motu
58:33
classics, all them different multi lines.
58:36
Now Origins is a bit different, but say all the six inch lines,
58:39
you can't just pull them all apart.
58:41
You can pull some stuff out, but in Allegiance, everything comes
58:45
apart. And I think people wouldn't be
58:48
aware of that if it weren't in it like we are.
58:52
Sometimes we can't see the wood from the trees, you know?
58:54
Yeah, being so in it, you know, And I'm sure Curtis is finding
59:00
that with his channel that, you know, he gets comments of people
59:03
going, whoa, didn't know you could do that.
59:05
And we might see that and go, yeah, of course you can do that.
59:08
But you know, you know, you know, you don't know.
59:12
You really don't know Bitty Beige.
59:15
You mentioned him last time he built his tuberculosis.
59:21
So go see that video on his channel.
59:23
And here's a big full in all its glory picture.
59:29
So bunch of different parts used here. 2 headed Centaur skeleton
59:35
horse Rich. Did you ever think you'd see a
59:38
figure like that? And you're like.
59:39
No, but I absolutely love it. Absolutely love it.
59:44
I think I'm going to give something similar a go, see what
59:47
I can do because I've got an extra cannabis body because I
59:50
want all the tackle for a barbarian horse so.
59:54
Yeah, I was always intending on going down the skeletal,
59:57
skeletal Centaur route sort of thing, but what Billy's done
1:00:00
here is awesome. Yeah, and I think Billy's gone
1:00:03
all out, which is he should, you know, he's been wanting to do it
1:00:06
since it's been revealed. So, but I think he could do it
1:00:09
with slightly less different parts, your own version, if
1:00:14
that's the way you want it to go.
1:00:16
Of course the key piece is the the little nefarious link and
1:00:23
piece here that's covered by soft green and purple soft
1:00:26
goods. So that's the piece that you
1:00:28
kind of need for this. The rest of it you can manage
1:00:32
probably figures you have so yeah, but I.
1:00:36
Have to be, I quite like the idea of using maybe the
1:00:39
Demistros head or the spooky light head.
1:00:42
They're the same thing. Are they?
1:00:42
Basically it's more like a demon Centaur type sort of thing.
1:00:47
That's a good show, I wonder how he is.
1:00:51
Has anyone seen pictures of him? How he matches the bone colour
1:00:54
of this guy. He's slightly Demistra, he's
1:00:58
slightly lighter. Yeah.
1:01:00
There has been a few pictures with with his head on tuberculi
1:01:05
and OK, it's close enough, yeah. Close enough.
1:01:09
Yeah. You can manage it, right?
1:01:13
Noah Pratt did some beautiful shots.
1:01:16
He's kind of artistic photography.
1:01:20
This is a close up of the Heavens brand sword.
1:01:22
I think it's an underrated piece within the Heavens brand figure
1:01:25
because that figure is total gangbusters.
1:01:27
People are crazy about it, rightly so.
1:01:32
And great pick here. The Heavens brand with the
1:01:36
beautiful blurred Mustachios man behind.
1:01:41
You know, a bit of Boca. Fabulous mustache, I believe
1:01:44
somebody could have called it. Yes, I've I've currently got
1:01:48
Gwendolyn displayed with the Heavens brand, so that's going
1:01:50
to have to change, isn't it? I thought you're going to say
1:01:52
Courtney of Gwendolyn displayed the mustache.
1:01:55
With. The mustache on.
1:01:57
Drawing. A little furry mustache on so
1:01:59
she, you know, took after her dad.
1:02:03
You know, it's your own fantasy line.
1:02:05
You do what you like. Yeah.
1:02:08
Here's another one of Noah's with Elijah.
1:02:11
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. So we're see, we're stealing
1:02:16
Mythic enablers content here. This is.
1:02:20
It's all right. Like the way to go?
1:02:22
They've. Stolen our editor a few times
1:02:24
like we can steal their content. All good, all good.
1:02:29
Elijah's when I'm thinking one of the ones I'm look most
1:02:32
looking forward to because he's just cool and that head is so
1:02:36
good for paint. I've seen close up photos of
1:02:39
this face and it's so well done. Yeah, just can't wait to get it
1:02:43
in hand. The helmeted head that he comes
1:02:45
with as well is really good, isn't it?
1:02:47
Oh, the ornate helmet. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:02:50
I think you're going to be so proud.
1:02:52
I mean, I it's interesting, isn't it, because you see them
1:02:56
through the box. Yeah, You see the pictures on
1:02:58
them. They look great.
1:02:59
You see them in the box and you're like, wow, they're even
1:03:01
better in person. But then it's not until you're
1:03:04
actually handling them and moving them around and posing
1:03:07
them and that you get a real feel for them.
1:03:10
And. Yeah, I think you're going to be
1:03:12
super impressed and I can't wait to crack open the nights and get
1:03:16
them on the shelf. Awesome skele.
1:03:22
Sorry, I did a great little cosmic 1 here.
1:03:24
So Sligor plus the is it the undead builder pack?
1:03:29
Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I might have to do
1:03:31
something like this. Space zombies.
1:03:35
I've always been meaning to do yeah, kind of skeleton with the
1:03:39
cosmic parts. And now that I after doing all
1:03:42
those cosmic customs I've done, I do have a lot of cosmic parts,
1:03:45
random parts lying around. I'm sure I could get a a
1:03:49
skeleton legion builder and maybe Frankenstein a figure
1:03:52
together. So this this is also a great
1:03:56
idea with the zombie parts. This looks more sci-fi though,
1:03:58
with the zombie parts for sure. Yeah, definitely.
1:04:02
So excellent. Would you be putting figures
1:04:06
like this in your cosmic collection which eventually you
1:04:09
know? Yeah, I mean, I think I've just
1:04:10
said I'm going to go for the graveyard skeletons is my
1:04:13
initial thoughts. But there's no reason myself.
1:04:15
I mean, this looks great. Yeah.
1:04:18
So I'd be tempted to, definitely.
1:04:20
And then finally another enabler, Michael Xavier with the
1:04:25
Sir Elijah. Again, beautiful lighting here
1:04:29
coming from the back and yeah, just really atmospheric shot
1:04:33
there. So yeah, OK, well, that's all I
1:04:44
have. So unless you have any more any
1:04:48
more comments, we're going to be back next week again, which is
1:04:52
in two weeks time almost for us. Yeah.
1:04:55
Good old gap. So, but you know, we're not the
1:04:58
news, Jeremy is the news. Everyone else is playing catch
1:05:02
up, right? Better not play last week's
1:05:08
outro because that wouldn't work, would it?
1:05:12
Why not? Who listens to the end anyway?
1:05:14
So the people that want to stay safe.
1:05:21
Daniel Lane, John, that's my lane.
1:05:23
Stay safe everybody.
