  Now let's get to this week's show.
• 0:23
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:25
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:35
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so he's got a
• 0:38
  fake hammer. Oh, A.
• 0:40
  Fake Whoa. As I say, Dick.
• 0:50
  Welcome to episode 74 of the Your Legions podcast.
• 0:55
  This week we're going to talk about figures that go with
• 0:57
  Legions, and we're also going to talk about the current state of
• 1:01
  our display rooms slash collections.
• 1:05
  As I see Rich go. Oh well, you know, we can also.
• 1:10
  There's a reason that there's a reason that my pictures are once
• 1:13
  a year or so ago, John. Yeah.
• 1:16
  Well, you know, you can show us the update at once when they're
• 1:19
  done. And yeah, and we're recording
• 1:22
  slightly earlier than scheduled this week.
• 1:24
  I believe Mr. Richard Jones has a child free house and then he
• 1:28
  decides to go to somewhere else instead of having a nice night
• 1:32
  in with your wife. No, we are almost I still spend
• 1:35
  time with my wife just away in. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:37
  Yeah, this is clear, Yeah. Meal out, stay in hotel.
• 1:42
  Oh, where's the Where's the Let's get it on music?
• 1:45
  Wow. Wow, wow.
• 1:48
  Let's get it on. Oh.
• 1:54
  Yes, we we have, we have no family around us here.
• 1:56
  So babysitting is is a very slim on the ground.
• 1:59
  So, you know, when she goes away, we're like, hey, let's go
• 2:01
  away. True.
• 2:03
  Yeah, well, I'm very familiar with that.
• 2:05
  We had no babysitter basically the whole time when our kids
• 2:08
  were small. Small.
• 2:09
  So yeah, it was a particularly tricky.
• 2:12
  So yeah, you should enjoy that for sure.
• 2:15
  I'm glad you told us before and not, you know, tomorrow night.
• 2:20
  When basically we were about to record and you're like, Oh no,
• 2:25
  I'm off on a week night away. Yeah.
• 2:28
  I'm actually in a restaurant at the moment.
• 2:30
  Sorry, can't actually record. And that would be a shame,
• 2:34
  seeing as you have a lot of content that you want to talk
• 2:36
  about for goals and reasons. You are the Travis Bowles of
• 2:39
  this podcast. For sure.
• 2:42
  I was. Going to say I dare you.
• 2:45
  I mean, he's not with his wife. I don't think we should describe
• 2:48
  anything like that. But on the plus side, you do get
• 2:54
  to watch England tomorrow as we record now.
• 2:58
  I do. I'm not sure that's a plot
• 2:59
  positive the way we. Play or you get to watch them
• 3:02
  without being distracted by having to talk on a podcast at
• 3:04
  the same time basically. Last couple of games we've
• 3:07
  equalized and I'll be like, Oh no, not.
• 3:13
  I really love this figure. Oh.
• 3:19
  We equalized. And have have you recovered from
• 3:26
  the UK elections then? That seems all to have been done
• 3:28
  and dusted pretty clear. I mean, I'm in a pretty good
• 3:32
  mood compared to what I was before the election, let's put
• 3:34
  it that way. You I wanted to win, but.
• 3:36
  You both work in the civil service.
• 3:38
  So you know, despite the fact that, you know, you could say
• 3:40
  elections boring and you know, all this kind of adult stuff
• 3:43
  that we shouldn't really be too concerned about, although we
• 3:47
  should. And but it kind of has a direct
• 3:50
  impact on you boys or it might, you know, in terms of not in
• 3:54
  terms of your job, just in terms of how your job is it.
• 3:57
  Will definitely have an impact on me because labour of have a
• 4:00
  policy directly about by the partner civil service that I
• 4:03
  work for. And it's not, it's not close it
• 4:06
  down. It's not close it down.
• 4:08
  When Corbyn was in charge it was close it down which would never
• 4:11
  have happened. It just rebranded it.
• 4:13
  Whereas current Labour, right? No, we, we absolutely value what
• 4:17
  what your organization does, but we want to change this, this,
• 4:22
  this and this. Very good and Mao.
• 4:27
  I'm yeah, I mean, it does and it doesn't.
• 4:31
  It affects the civil service as a whole.
• 4:33
  They've already shown a bit more interest and consideration for
• 4:37
  the because we're basically their employees, but and they've
• 4:41
  already shown a bit more, you know.
• 4:47
  Well, I'm. Willing to.
• 4:48
  Still have the coverage. And noise are important, let's
• 4:51
  put it that way. Yes, I've been watching a bit of
• 4:54
  the coverage and I love the whole, the whole pomp and
• 4:57
  ceremony thing about it. Even being Irish, I love the
• 5:00
  British pomp and ceremony about going to the King and you know,
• 5:04
  going back to Downing St. and it is quite a it is quite fun to
• 5:08
  watch. It's quite a spectacle on TV.
• 5:10
  But my general overall impression is that the adults
• 5:13
  came back. It's like, it's like you have,
• 5:16
  you have adults running the place again.
• 5:18
  They're not particularly exciting.
• 5:19
  They're not particularly, you know, going to change the world,
• 5:23
  but they're kind of straight up people that are going to do a
• 5:29
  bit of work, you know? Yeah, the Keir Starmer, the new
• 5:33
  Prime Minister over here, sent us all civil servants little
• 5:36
  e-mail with a little message in, and it was like being spoken to
• 5:40
  by a proper grown up who knows what they're talking about, as
• 5:42
  opposed to some sort of muppet in a blonde wig.
• 5:45
  The last few years, you know, it's just like, no So.
• 5:50
  And there you go, America, all done and dusted in six weeks.
• 5:53
  You have another what, 18 weeks until until your charade goes
• 5:57
  on? Yeah, and over here too,
• 5:59
  literally I was watching some coverage of it and they showed
• 6:01
  the removal men taking all the previous families stuff out of
• 6:04
  10 Downing St. 10:00 AM and then at 3:00 PM they're moving all
• 6:07
  the new guys stuff in. There's no like six week
• 6:09
  handover where it is. In America and the guy, is it
• 6:12
  the chancellor that lives next door?
• 6:14
  Oh, he got he, he's, I saw him go with his family and these two
• 6:17
  lovely kids and he had his dog and his wife and he's like, oh,
• 6:20
  that's kind of sad. But like, he's off to some
• 6:23
  mansion in Surrey or somewhere, you know?
• 6:25
  Yeah. Probably yes.
• 6:26
  They're all millionaires, that's all.
• 6:28
  Yeah. So yeah, they're very, exactly
• 6:29
  going to struggle. That's true.
• 6:30
  They're not going to touch. So let's say, yeah, I'm, I'm,
• 6:33
  I'm glad for you. I'm glad for UK because when I
• 6:36
  went to visit you guys last year, I did feel a difference in
• 6:39
  your country compared to the previous time I've been there,
• 6:41
  which was a good while ago. It was maybe 10 years before
• 6:45
  that I had been over to UK for a few times and it was definitely
• 6:48
  a different place and now I know things change everywhere but
• 6:52
  hopefully it'll change for the better again.
• 6:55
  It will fingers. Crossed.
• 6:57
  If nothing else, we have to watch that prick Jacob Rees Mogg
• 7:01
  stand. Up.
• 7:03
  Absolute twaddle in Parliament anymore, so.
• 7:06
  Yeah. Oh yeah?
• 7:07
  Well, I'm sure people have seen the memes of the various, eh?
• 7:10
  Like the bin count bin face. Just go look up count bin face
• 7:13
  on Twitter. Do yourself a favor.
• 7:16
  That's one of the best things about that picture, though, is
• 7:19
  the fact that Count Bin faces there make sure we ignore.
• 7:22
  I think that's the one, The guy with the the doctor's coat and a
• 7:25
  giant hat on. Yeah.
• 7:27
  Or, And if it's not that one, it's the one with a
• 7:29
  ventriloquist and a ventriloquist dummy it was.
• 7:33
  Elmo get any made the ventriloquist you just get
• 7:36
  completely ignored. Yeah, you have like 3 bizarre
• 7:39
  looking people up there, but like the 4th one is so bizarre
• 7:42
  looking that nobody sees the other three.
• 7:44
  It's that's it. That's it.
• 7:46
  Boris wasn't even there. Yeah, exactly.
• 7:49
  Yeah, You think Boris is crazy? Guys, come over here.
• 7:53
  Maybe Boris is camping face. Maybe it's happy sneaky way to
• 7:58
  get back in, wouldn't it? Count bin face.
• 8:00
  He does the tour and everything. I think he's like does the
• 8:01
  comedy tour and stuff like he's, that's his job.
• 8:04
  This is his full time gig, you know, So you know, there's
• 8:08
  there's more interesting jobs than just sitting behind the
• 8:10
  desk clicking things on the computer.
• 8:12
  Well, he's out done the Monster Raving Loony party.
• 8:14
  Now they they seem virtually normal with their ventriloquist
• 8:18
  dummies and giant top hats and that sort of stuff.
• 8:20
  They're like, whatever, they're just mainstream.
• 8:22
  There's a guy dressed as Elmo. There's a guy with a bin on his
• 8:24
  head. And they're baked bean
• 8:25
  balaclavas. I probably didn't spot that
• 8:30
  until you pointed out. Absolutely and.
• 8:34
  Then it's just allowed, you know, it's like this, golf clubs
• 8:39
  you can't get into in the UK unless you're wearing like a
• 8:41
  shirt and tie, you know, in to get a pint and yet you can just
• 8:44
  go for election with a bin on your head, you know, what a
• 8:47
  place, what a place. Anyway, back to a normal, normal
• 8:55
  proceedings, shall we say. This is the great thing about
• 8:58
  podcasts. You can get completely off the
• 9:00
  rails. And we had some fun stuff from
• 9:03
  the Horsemen today. We have a my favorite cosmic
• 9:06
  contest. So they are really leaning into
• 9:09
  this summer of Cosmirium. So this is something we're going
• 9:13
  to enter. Definitely me and Mal, we were
• 9:15
  talking about it before you can. You arrived, Rich, before we
• 9:19
  started recording. Are you going to do do it as
• 9:21
  well, Rich? I am, yes.
• 9:22
  I could hear you talking about it because I was in the green
• 9:24
  room. And you went, Oh yeah, well, I
• 9:25
  was trying to load your load your 150 million slides at the
• 9:29
  same time. So you ended up, you ended up on
• 9:33
  the 2nd row of the stuff. And so the details anyway, for
• 9:39
  I'm sure you've seen it, but we'll, we'll, we'll also mention
• 9:44
  it here just to remind you take a picture of your favorite
• 9:47
  cosmic legions figure, post the picture to Instagram before the
• 9:52
  and I'll translate this to the 2nd of August, uh, 2024 and use
• 9:57
  the hashtag M my favorite cosmic allegiance.
• 10:00
  So hashtag my favorite cosmic legions and be sure to tag us at
• 10:06
  at 4 under score Horseman. under score studios and accounts will
• 10:11
  be selected at random to receive an awesome allegiance prize pack
• 10:15
  containing and this is pretty cool.
• 10:19
  A Tusk heavy gunner. So that's the one we were
• 10:22
  talking about last week, the one that is coming as a first
• 10:26
  release to Ishkhan and which will be on an in stock sale for
• 10:30
  sometime in September plus more. So there you go.
• 10:34
  So other goodies as well. So who knows?
• 10:37
  That's eight winners. So there's scope for some quite
• 10:40
  cool goodies there. If it's going to only be eight
• 10:42
  people, you know, you could get some.
• 10:45
  Is it 6? Sorry, this font is a bit.
• 10:47
  Oh, it is 6. Sorry.
• 10:48
  Yeah. All right, so there you go.
• 10:53
  Just a word for our non American listeners and viewers to the
• 10:56
  Americans spell favorite different to everybody else.
• 11:00
  So when you when you put the hashtag in, there's no you in
• 11:03
  their version of favorite. So.
• 11:05
  Just be aware. Be aware of that otherwise.
• 11:07
  It's an excellent that isn't. That is an excellent point.
• 11:10
  No, I thought you were taking the mic, but actually I was to
• 11:13
  do it. When it's to do with the
• 11:14
  hashtag, that is very important. The best thing to do is to
• 11:17
  search out the post on the Four Horsemen's page and then you can
• 11:21
  just click on the hashtag and then you can do a new post from
• 11:24
  there, surely and be able to add them.
• 11:27
  But, uh, definitely, uh, after you've posted, click on your
• 11:31
  hashtag and make sure, yeah, loads of different photos comes
• 11:36
  up and then you'll know you're probably in the right hashtag.
• 11:40
  So there you go. My favorite, uh, cosmic.
• 11:42
  We will probably, uh, in a future episode, maybe even
• 11:46
  before the contest is over, we will maybe show what we posted.
• 11:51
  That'd be fun. Then we had this.
• 11:55
  We had a picture from Jeremy, It's of the Jim Preziosi from
• 12:00
  the Four Horsemen studios wearing our shirt, which was
• 12:03
  given to him by Mal, I believe, at Mesquite Khan.
• 12:07
  He actually won it for being the old one of the oldest.
• 12:11
  The oldest person in the room. Sorry, Jim.
• 12:14
  Well, he certainly looks he looks pretty good.
• 12:16
  Whatever age is he definitely does if if he's the oldest.
• 12:20
  I need to broke. Up.
• 12:21
  He's doing all right on it, isn't he?
• 12:24
  So looking good there, Jim, amazing curls, amazing shirt,
• 12:29
  amazing backdrop there in the Forestman studios.
• 12:31
  You know, even though it's in the studio because you've got
• 12:33
  the figure wall behind, which is one of the most exciting things
• 12:38
  I'm going to see in the studio. Probably not even the one of the
• 12:41
  most exciting, but it's definitely something I'm looking
• 12:43
  forward. I'm excited to see it, yeah.
• 12:46
  Am I going to have to walk around with you to holding you
• 12:48
  up when you're weak at the knees and all fanboy over this sort of
• 12:50
  stuff? Because I've seen it once you go
• 12:52
  hang out with all the cool kids that are on there, like 5th
• 12:55
  Intern or whatever it is. John and I, you'll hear John
• 12:58
  nice squealing. Myself, a man can take that
• 13:03
  little portable recorder and just do a little fanboy.
• 13:08
  Well, Rich is just totally in the background.
• 13:10
  A lot of heavy breathing into the microphone, so like it's
• 13:15
  like it's a. Master and The Apprentice going
• 13:16
  around the voices, the two of you.
• 13:21
  So anyway, how cool is it that our little podcast, one of the
• 13:26
  founders of the studio is wearing it to work?
• 13:29
  It's. Extremely cool.
• 13:31
  Yeah. I was telling my wife that I was
• 13:32
  like, we've made it, we've made it.
• 13:34
  And she just, like, shook her head.
• 13:35
  It was like, yeah, well. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:41
  Umm, yeah. I was trying to relate it to
• 13:43
  Minecraft to my kids or something, you know, imagine if
• 13:45
  the people that, that did Minecraft were wearing your
• 13:47
  shirt. Oh yeah, who are they?
• 13:51
  I said, I don't know some Swedish students, uh, and we
• 13:59
  have this, uh, which we entered that last week is miles thousand
• 14:04
  swig. Uh, not entry really, but his,
• 14:07
  his contribution to the 1000 swig movements.
• 14:12
  So our movement for allegiance Khan.
• 14:14
  So it's a cosmic squig. So talk us through this man
• 14:17
  before you read us the the bio. So, well, I I kind of wanted to
• 14:23
  keep the general colours that Swig has, but also make him feel
• 14:28
  a little bit cosmic and and perhaps make the armour look a
• 14:31
  little bit more well, what I kept in terms of the armour look
• 14:37
  more like it belonged in Cosmirium then Mythic.
• 14:41
  So of course I painted the purple of that to make it look
• 14:44
  like a mixture of materials. And then I used the brown arms
• 14:50
  from the Santa. Claus, I think the green jacket
• 14:55
  one is it. No, is it?
• 14:59
  No. Wasn't it the red one that had
• 15:01
  the brown? Oh yeah, the other one had the
• 15:04
  green arms. Maybe then.
• 15:06
  Yeah, yeah, I think the green jacket has the green arms,
• 15:08
  doesn't it? I think, I can't remember, but
• 15:11
  yeah. So I use them because they're
• 15:12
  the same colour as the armour he's got on his arms.
• 15:17
  Yeah. And then any of the like the
• 15:19
  cosmic parts that were black, I weathered them to make them look
• 15:24
  really old, but I used. So the he's a normal armour has
• 15:28
  a sort of, I think it was. It's either burnt copper or
• 15:31
  copper, a dry brush on it. So I did the weathering in that
• 15:38
  sort of colour to kind of again, bring that in.
• 15:40
  And then of course I did bits and pieces, modified his staff
• 15:45
  so it looked like he'd he'd mocked something up with a
• 15:47
  little battery to power the. Yeah, you kind of see on the
• 15:50
  left of it and then you can see the whole lot of it there in
• 15:53
  that other pic. So yeah, I'm quite chuffed with
• 15:55
  how it came out. The weathering bit of it was
• 15:57
  something I've not done before. So, you know, I'm pleased with
• 16:01
  what I did. But as with everything, we'll
• 16:05
  get better with practice. I like the way you didn't use
• 16:10
  the front part of the SWIG soft goods, just.
• 16:14
  Yeah, that was part of trying to show off.
• 16:18
  Well, again, trying to make it not quite mythic swig and just
• 16:24
  to add a bit more cosmic feel to it.
• 16:27
  So he's got the the crotch piece from the engineer because that
• 16:31
  could be weathered. And yeah, it just adds a bit
• 16:34
  more of a modern look to it. And the head, The head works OK
• 16:39
  with that big armor that goes up around the back of the hood it.
• 16:42
  Takes a bit of squeezing it in and pushing things down and, you
• 16:47
  know, moving things. You just cry position perfectly.
• 16:50
  But yeah, it's on. It's on very solidly.
• 16:53
  It won't move, though. You can't really turn it or do
• 16:55
  anything like that. But yeah, yeah.
• 16:58
  But it's firmly on there now, yeah.
• 17:02
  Very cool. You want to give us the stories?
• 17:04
  Yeah, let's read the story then. Hey?
• 17:06
  Right. So one particularly brave or
• 17:11
  foolhardy swig attempting to garner the most favour of all
• 17:15
  the swigs with King Noglin began to explore an experiment with
• 17:19
  the powers of the Navigate. It was during one of these
• 17:22
  experiments that he was sucked through a rip in space and time,
• 17:25
  finding himself lost in the far distant universe.
• 17:28
  He has since learned he's known as Kazmirium.
• 17:32
  It took a few years for Swig to come to terms with the new
• 17:34
  situation, every new sight and sound on the planet he had first
• 17:38
  landed upon causing him great consternation.
• 17:41
  However, he's nothing if not resourceful and adaptable.
• 17:45
  And resourcefully adapt he did. After a couple of years, he
• 17:49
  taught himself more about the technologies he encountered in
• 17:52
  the built up areas of the planet, cobbling together new
• 17:55
  armour and weapons from scrap he found.
• 17:59
  Eventually, he even plucked up enough funds and courage to be
• 18:02
  able to pay his way off the planet on a smuggling ship.
• 18:06
  Mystified and still a little terrified, Swig, with the
• 18:10
  misguided belief that one day we'll find his way back to
• 18:12
  Mythos, continues his ongoing mission to explore strange new
• 18:17
  worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go
• 18:22
  where no Swig has gone before. That little bit at the end.
• 18:26
  Yeah, the little. Star Trek Reference at the end
• 18:29
  as I start, it's because I started writing about him
• 18:31
  getting back to Mythos and he's exploring.
• 18:33
  I was like, I've got to have an. Absolutely.
• 18:37
  It's your own. You know, when you're writing it
• 18:39
  yourself, you can, you can use your own artistic license.
• 18:44
  It's also a bit easier to read. Read your own writing, isn't it?
• 18:47
  It's. No matter how good someone
• 18:49
  else's writing is. But I've read it a few times.
• 18:52
  I've known, yes. And write thoughts.
• 18:54
  You memorize what you've written a bit.
• 18:55
  That's also I have too. OK, you going to make a swig
• 19:00
  rich? I am indeed.
• 19:03
  I think I've hinted it before but mine will be an extreme if I
• 19:06
  can make it work and I've just literally ordered something to
• 19:09
  help make his outfit. It'll be an extremely
• 19:11
  inappropriate swig, but it will be a funny swig.
• 19:17
  Not like, not like where we'd have to censor it when we show
• 19:20
  it on the page or anything. No, I think we just might get
• 19:24
  away with it. OK, just might get away with
• 19:27
  that. OK, I think so.
• 19:31
  Join our Patreon if you want to see that.
• 19:36
  I will say I think the Swigs we've seen already have been
• 19:38
  really, really good. And they're, yeah, see more of
• 19:41
  them and absolutely Swigs, John, you're, you're planning to do
• 19:45
  one, I think, aren't you? Yeah.
• 19:47
  I haven't, I haven't come up with a plan yet as to which one,
• 19:50
  but definitely I have an extra swig.
• 19:53
  So I will do it. And yeah, just when the, when
• 19:57
  I'm in the in the middle of painting something else, I'm
• 20:00
  sure the inspiration will hit me finally and then I'll be like,
• 20:03
  OK, got to do this. So.
• 20:06
  After try getting mine sorted sooner or rather later because
• 20:08
  if it if my giggling away like a small child idea goes horribly
• 20:12
  wrong. No, me too.
• 20:13
  I come up with another idea very quickly.
• 20:15
  I'm I'm sure someone has already done a fury swig.
• 20:18
  I think that that's probably already been taken I.
• 20:21
  Don't have not seen it but I can't remember seeing that but
• 20:25
  maybe? I'm sure that'll be done,
• 20:27
  that'll be covered, but that would be a fun one, I think,
• 20:32
  right? Shall we get on to what goes
• 20:36
  with Legions? Yeah.
• 20:39
  Everything. Spoiler.
• 20:45
  It would seem so. It would seem so.
• 20:47
  Absolutely everything goes at Legions.
• 20:51
  This is this is the episode where me and mall have a falling
• 20:53
  out. Yeah.
• 20:54
  I'm more in the Travis Bowles category of like, you squeeze
• 20:57
  that in, Yeah, and I'll work. How dare you.
• 21:00
  How dare you? You have a lot, Rich.
• 21:03
  So let's start with a few of yours and then we can flick
• 21:05
  between myself and malls stuff as well.
• 21:09
  And so we're going to bring up a couple of stuff here you've got
• 21:12
  to describe, especially for the audio listeners.
• 21:15
  Yes, so. Plenty of.
• 21:17
  So tell them what we're seeing. People look at our beautiful
• 21:20
  faces on YouTube. Yeah, but you know, I understand
• 21:24
  too. I mostly.
• 21:24
  No idea. So first that we have Toy Biz,
• 21:29
  Lord of the Rings, I guess these are generally in the community
• 21:34
  are generally just bought and then ripped to absolute shreds
• 21:37
  if you go back, John. Thank you.
• 21:39
  Yeah, obviously ripped, just ripped to shreds to to make
• 21:42
  skirt pieces, etcetera, etcetera.
• 21:44
  Mr. Gerard has has mastered that.
• 21:47
  And I do, I mean, I've got about 150 of these things with a dirt
• 21:49
  cheap on eBay and I've done that with quite a few of them torn
• 21:52
  apart. However, I do think there are a
• 21:54
  few that would actually work with mythics.
• 21:56
  Now, I'm not saying you'd have them at the very front of the
• 21:58
  display or anything like that, but as part of the group shot or
• 22:01
  something like that, they'd work the top three on this.
• 22:04
  There's an elf, a palace guard, and then another elf.
• 22:11
  These would work as elves in randomly in in mythics.
• 22:16
  The the Bills Lord of the Ring bills are a bit bit thinner than
• 22:21
  the mythics ones, so I think you'd want to use them as owls.
• 22:24
  You'd almost certainly have to replace the heads with a custom
• 22:26
  head because the heads aren't brilliant.
• 22:29
  They're OK, but they're not brilliant.
• 22:31
  But they definitely work as owls.
• 22:32
  And the one in the middle with the very fancy hat.
• 22:36
  Kind of priestly bishopy, kind of.
• 22:38
  Yes, I have used that hat on Magnus.
• 22:41
  So my Magnus on my display is wearing that.
• 22:44
  Wow. It's kind of like a Bishop's
• 22:46
  feathered hat. Kind of, yeah.
• 22:48
  He's on loan to the Order of Ethan, so he's got Sir Wayne,
• 22:52
  Sir Wayne Armour and then that hat and I hear a stole from Mr.
• 22:56
  Joe Russo and it works great. Very cool.
• 23:00
  And did you collect Lord of the Rings, Toy Biz at any stage?
• 23:03
  Before I didn't know it was just well, well before, yeah, yeah,
• 23:07
  well before I got back into the the collecting as an adult sort
• 23:10
  of thing. So no.
• 23:12
  And then the bottom 3 here are all the the orcs and Urakai from
• 23:17
  the line. Do these work better just as
• 23:19
  figures in with mythics? Again, they're not as good as
• 23:22
  mythics. I'm not for a second saying they
• 23:23
  are, but you know, they got like gritty sort of feel to them,
• 23:26
  certainly like Fury because they're all red skinned.
• 23:29
  So as a Fury York background character, these, I think these
• 23:32
  absolutely were. And they're really big as well.
• 23:34
  They're like 7 1/2 inches tall. So they're really big beefy
• 23:39
  characters. So they'll they'll go well with
• 23:41
  mythics. Very cool.
• 23:45
  We also got the what's, we got the Nazca here.
• 23:49
  Yes, so the ring race, their bodies, you know, it's just a
• 23:52
  big flowing garment. So you could that, you know, you
• 23:55
  could work well with any sort of character for that.
• 23:58
  The one in the top middle there is the York general really big
• 24:03
  figure again, like seven 7 1/2 inches again.
• 24:05
  But again, as long as you can get the fact that characters in
• 24:09
  Lord of the Rings, that works really well.
• 24:12
  I put a horse in there, but any of the Lord of the Rings horses,
• 24:14
  they're too small for 1.0 mythics, but they work really
• 24:17
  well with 2.0 mythics. So I've got two of that
• 24:19
  particular horse with vampire Knights I.
• 24:22
  Was going to say that looks like a vampire knight horse.
• 24:25
  It. It really does, doesn't it?
• 24:26
  Yeah, it's amazing. It was designed from and then
• 24:29
  the bottom left that people watching is a Lord of the Rings
• 24:33
  battle troll, which I think goes brilliantly with mythics and
• 24:36
  I've got one of these as is in my Legions of Arathi display.
• 24:40
  What is the scale on that thing? Because it does, to be fair,
• 24:43
  looks very similar style to the. Not quite as tall as a troll,
• 24:48
  but not far off either. He's a big figure, so yeah, my
• 24:54
  shelving units have got about a foot, I think from from shelf to
• 24:58
  the the next one and he's just about fits in there sort of
• 25:02
  thing. So yeah, it's a good size
• 25:04
  figure, but a really good figure and works very well with it.
• 25:06
  Mythics, I think. And then and then next to that
• 25:12
  we move on to McFarland spawn stuff.
• 25:15
  Now you could probably fit some of these in.
• 25:17
  There's a couple in particular and I'll get to those where you
• 25:20
  can fit them straight in. I think as as figures that work
• 25:23
  with mythics. Some of the other stuff is more
• 25:26
  you could take a part of it here and a part of it there sort of
• 25:28
  thing. So so there's a a lot, one of
• 25:32
  the sub lines in spawn is called the Age of Pharaohs.
• 25:36
  So it's Egyptian themed, obviously my lovely Egyptian
• 25:38
  stuff. So I have some of these.
• 25:40
  So in the in the middle you've got a massive crocodile.
• 25:45
  He's a big beefy fella. I don't have him.
• 25:46
  But again, if you want some sort of beastly creature thingy, he'd
• 25:51
  be good. And then the one on the bottom
• 25:53
  right. And if you go on to the next
• 25:55
  slide, John, thank you. So these are the actual figures,
• 25:59
  you know, like the human sized figures sort of thing.
• 26:04
  They're not, they're not manoeuvrable at all.
• 26:06
  You know, they're, they're pretty much statue sort of
• 26:08
  thing. But they do work.
• 26:12
  I think they work with mythics. Again, if you yeah, again, if
• 26:16
  you've got an Egyptian style, and now we've got Anubis and
• 26:19
  Bastet, if you've got an Egyptian styled faction, all
• 26:22
  that sort of thing, then these work.
• 26:25
  These work well. And also they've got loads of
• 26:27
  bits to just pull them off and use them.
• 26:29
  So the one on the top right. With the wings here.
• 26:33
  E with the wings, it's got a it's like a Jackal head sort of
• 26:37
  thing underneath me, but the mask and the helmet comes off.
• 26:41
  So you can take that off, use it on another figure and then
• 26:43
  you've still got this called Egyptian sort of Jackal type
• 26:46
  figure there. The one in the bottom middle has
• 26:49
  got an amazing mask. It's got like the thing that
• 26:53
  goes up there and it's like Ras Sun sort of emblem in the middle
• 26:57
  and a cool mask, but underneath that it's an undead figure.
• 27:01
  So again, so you can have it with that or take the mask off,
• 27:03
  use it on something else and have that and then the one on
• 27:07
  the bottom. Nice looking weapons here as
• 27:08
  well. They have and they're very
• 27:10
  Egyptian sort of. I mean, they're obviously
• 27:11
  exaggerated because it's spawn, but they they've got that sort
• 27:15
  of feel and that colouring to them as well.
• 27:17
  Definitely. And then the one bottom right
• 27:20
  again, it's got really cool headpieces, like a cobra
• 27:22
  headpiece coming out. And I've seen somebody use that
• 27:25
  on a on a mythic custom. They just pulled that off and
• 27:28
  popped it on on a skeleton sort of thing.
• 27:30
  So again, it would any of these will work in the background of a
• 27:34
  Egyptian style thing, but even better, there's bits you can
• 27:36
  pull off and use right then. Now this set, this is a couple
• 27:43
  of the ones I think would actually work as they are in
• 27:45
  mythic. So it's the two in the middle.
• 27:47
  I'm pointing to my screen. It was.
• 27:48
  The Spawn Samurai Wars, Yeah. Yes, so the top left and top
• 27:53
  right same characters character called Dojo and it's a big fat
• 27:58
  monstrous samurai. And I first came across him when
• 28:02
  Jeremy Gerard was using bits of him for I think it was a Borea
• 28:05
  samurai in his samurai Steffi used a helmet and a few other
• 28:10
  bits and bobs. But this figure in it's that.
• 28:12
  So I bought 1 to rip apart and then I actually got it and went
• 28:14
  do you know what this works as? Like a Nurgle sort of demon
• 28:18
  samurai type figure. And it works really well with a
• 28:21
  a samurai set up, particularly if you've got lots of custom
• 28:23
  ones like I do. You know, you still have bits of
• 28:25
  spawn armour on this, that and the other.
• 28:27
  So that works well. The one in the bottom middle, I
• 28:32
  can't remember a name off the top of my head, but it's a
• 28:34
  female character. Again, that sort of samurai feel
• 28:37
  to it. She's really tall too, so she'd
• 28:40
  work with mythics because of that.
• 28:43
  And it's AI. Don't know if you're sure it's
• 28:45
  all John, but. It's I think it says Lotus Angel
• 28:47
  Warrior. Thank you, Mal.
• 28:49
  That's why you're not wearing glasses and I am.
• 28:53
  But again, she's a really cool caddy.
• 28:54
  She's got an awesome helmet with like samurai styled things that
• 28:58
  come out to spit like Princess Leia, but they're samurai style
• 29:00
  things that come out to the side on the hat.
• 29:03
  So she's a great figure that would work as is.
• 29:05
  And then the other three pictures are figures that I
• 29:08
  wouldn't necessarily put in the display as is, but they're very
• 29:12
  good for using parts of them. So you've got a three headed
• 29:15
  dragon top right again. Jeremy's done some customs using
• 29:19
  the neck and the heads from these, and I've got one to rip
• 29:21
  apart and do the same with. You can make some draconian
• 29:24
  figures and that sort of thing. And then bottom left and bottom
• 29:27
  right are two samurai's. And again, they've got just
• 29:29
  really cool samurai out on the pieces, really cool swords and
• 29:32
  that sort of stuff. More spawn here.
• 29:37
  More spawn. Yeah, there's a lot of spawn.
• 29:40
  Middle is the spawn samurai figure itself.
• 29:42
  Again, you could probably just about get away with that as a
• 29:45
  demon samurai if you wanted to in the display so you can rip it
• 29:48
  apart. Top right is a pirate spawn.
• 29:51
  This is a real I don't have it, but it's a really cool looking
• 29:54
  figure. And again, if you wanted to
• 29:55
  customize it, lots of peg legs and boots and that sort of stuff
• 29:57
  you could take off that, but I think it would work fine that
• 30:00
  there's an undead character as well.
• 30:02
  Bottom left is Mandarin spawn. This one actually works really
• 30:06
  well. It's very bright, but for like
• 30:08
  an Oriental guard type thing, like, you know, something to go
• 30:11
  with Monkey. King or something like that.
• 30:13
  Absolutely. It worked really well.
• 30:16
  And then the one in the middle, bottom middle is a is AI think
• 30:19
  it's 12 inch figure it might be bigger again called violator and
• 30:24
  it's a really cool mantra. I've seen people use this
• 30:26
  before. With the mythic displays, it's
• 30:28
  like a demon. Monster, yeah.
• 30:31
  And then top left and bottom right, it's the same figure but
• 30:34
  two different colour ways. This is from the Spawn Alternate
• 30:37
  Realities, and it's an alien figure, and I've got one of
• 30:40
  these and it works really well as like a demon because you've
• 30:43
  got like that the wings almost like skeletal wings behind it,
• 30:48
  just tons of teeth. So you can use it as a demon or
• 30:51
  it would fit into cosmics, to be honest.
• 30:56
  Yeah. I mean, you know, it's
• 30:57
  McFarlane. They're not ground breaking or
• 30:59
  anything, but the paint's good enough to use it.
• 31:02
  Absolutely. And it's quite a tall figure as
• 31:04
  well. So again, it would fit in well
• 31:06
  with with Cosmics and that sort of stuff because of the size.
• 31:11
  These said the Mesozoic. Yes.
• 31:13
  So let me just take a bit of water.
• 31:15
  Dry throw. Yeah, no problem.
• 31:16
  Sorry. I'll I'll let myself and maldo a
• 31:19
  few after this. So yes, so this is my Dino ride
• 31:25
  mounts section. So the top right, we've got not
• 31:30
  beasts in there to say this is a Jurassic Park says in there like
• 31:35
  a Talabarasaurus or some. Salabarasaurus dinosaur.
• 31:40
  And these are the sort of cheapish dinosaurs you can get
• 31:43
  from any like toy store or whatever sort of thing.
• 31:45
  And they actually made really good mounts.
• 31:47
  I've got a couple in my that my Fury to my Fury clan ride.
• 31:53
  I've got a couple of other ones, not the same dinosaur, but that
• 31:55
  sort of thing, same line that I bought from Sig and he put like
• 32:01
  a leather saddle on them sort of thing.
• 32:03
  So really fancied them up, but they went well.
• 32:07
  And then you've got the Beast and Mesozoic and then you've got
• 32:15
  velociraptors here. So these are smaller.
• 32:17
  So you're probably looking at a smallish characterism at maybe a
• 32:20
  goblin, something like that to ride them.
• 32:23
  But you can see the top left picture, you've got 1520
• 32:26
  different colour ways. I've got one of these.
• 32:29
  They're they're really, I mean, they're amazing quality, not
• 32:31
  cheap. You're looking at 40 to 50 LB
• 32:33
  probably for one. But they're great figures.
• 32:37
  They've done really well. The paint schemes are fabulous
• 32:40
  and there's a mount for a small character like a goblin or
• 32:42
  something like that. They do work really well.
• 32:45
  And then very briefly, the middle bottom and bottom right,
• 32:48
  these are my werewolf suggestions.
• 32:51
  So the middle bottom is a Doctor Who werewolf and I've seen
• 32:55
  people use these. I think Dean Wright, you know,
• 32:57
  the UK guy with the amazing photography, he used a couple of
• 33:00
  these in one of his shots. They work great.
• 33:03
  The body's not brilliant but the head works really well.
• 33:05
  So as long as you can position it then that's a really good
• 33:08
  option. What company are they from?
• 33:11
  Oh, you know, you don't know. OK.
• 33:13
  If you just, if you, if you just in eBay, look Doctor Who
• 33:16
  werewolf becomes up straight away and they're cheap.
• 33:18
  It is and they're cheap. They're like, you know, 7-8 quid
• 33:21
  sort of thing for it with that, so you can get a really good
• 33:24
  price on it. Even the head, then yeah.
• 33:26
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 33:28
  And then bottom right is the NECA American World for London
• 33:32
  Werewolf. Which is big.
• 33:33
  Recently picked this up, didn't you?
• 33:34
  But I have one of these and it's going to be a mount in my
• 33:37
  display using a part that you painted for me, John, As for the
• 33:40
  rider? Oh, which one is that?
• 33:43
  It's the vampire dwarf that you painted.
• 33:45
  For me, so it's. Going to be a psycho vampire
• 33:48
  dwarf riding into battle on a werewolf.
• 33:50
  That'll be cool. Very good.
• 33:52
  Well, we'll give you a break. Rich.
• 33:54
  You can have a if you just. Go on to the next slide for two
• 33:56
  seconds, John, I think it's got no werewolves there just to.
• 33:58
  Get the werewolves. A few more stuff all done.
• 34:02
  Top left and top right are the loose collector so that that
• 34:06
  company they've done, they have a crypt range so people might
• 34:09
  have seen them. Mr. Hight or Monster Hide Bigger
• 34:12
  we talked about recently they're doing 4 werewolves.
• 34:16
  The four different colours are there in the top left and these
• 34:18
  are big boys. Again, you're looking at sort of
• 34:20
  10/11 inch werewolves are coming out pretty soon.
• 34:23
  The sculpt looks amazing. I think they'll work really,
• 34:25
  really well with mythics. And then top, middle and bottom
• 34:29
  left finally for the werewolves, these are from the Stan Winston
• 34:33
  Blood Wolves line. So this is a pretty old line and
• 34:36
  they're not the greatest in terms of articulation, that sort
• 34:39
  of stuff, but they are really nice sculpts.
• 34:40
  You've got the werewolf in the middle and then you have a
• 34:42
  werewolf knight called the Reticus in the bottom left.
• 34:46
  And I bought, yeah, I bought a couple of him and used the head.
• 34:50
  So the he's got an unhelmeted head on the figure itself now.
• 34:54
  And then the helmet on the floor next to him has actually got a,
• 34:57
  you can raise a visor and there's a werewolf head in
• 35:00
  there. So it's like a werewolf knight.
• 35:02
  So I bought a couple just for those heads and I just used the
• 35:04
  head sort of thing. The figure is quite tall, this
• 35:07
  one, it's a probably an inch or so tall of the most myth, most
• 35:11
  mythics. So it would certainly stand out
• 35:14
  as like a werewolf and an armoured sort of thing.
• 35:17
  Yeah. But I mean, you know, armour
• 35:18
  wise it's a pretty good figure as well.
• 35:19
  So this definitely works with mythics.
• 35:22
  And now I will stop for a minute.
• 35:24
  Awesome, right? Man, why did you pick allegiance
• 35:28
  figure as your first figure to go allegiance?
• 35:31
  I'm a, I'm a little, a little nervous that I'm going to reveal
• 35:34
  too much about maybe having some sort of being on the spectrum a
• 35:38
  little bit here or OCD or whatever, because I, I don't
• 35:42
  disagree with Rich when it comes to parts.
• 35:45
  I think there are so many lines you can use for parts.
• 35:48
  Mcfarland's very good and have gone blank on the other things.
• 35:55
  Motive classics, even Lord of the Rings Master VS Lord of the
• 35:59
  Rings, all them parts. Completely agree.
• 36:02
  But when it comes to what will go with my actual stuff on the
• 36:05
  shelf, I get a bit picky. And the very best thing is
• 36:11
  Figure Obscura. Krampus.
• 36:16
  No, obviously. And the red and the red.
• 36:20
  And you can even stretch as far as the next slide, which is
• 36:24
  putting a cosmic figure that looks a little bit like a mythic
• 36:27
  figure with them. And I think that's it.
• 36:29
  I think that's all you need. No, no, I mean they're that's a
• 36:34
  bit of being a bit daft, obviously, but I do think
• 36:37
  they're very cool. But I get a bit funny about it's
• 36:39
  articulation and I don't mean they can't have to in too much
• 36:43
  or too little. It's styles of articulation.
• 36:47
  I don't mind on the legs so much, but their arms are like
• 36:51
  that mythic. The look to the mythic arms.
• 36:55
  It doesn't look like there's any cuts or joints or.
• 36:58
  That's it. So you end up going on to sort
• 37:00
  of larger figures and I've I haven't got all of these that
• 37:03
  we're about to go through. They're just examples of ones
• 37:05
  that go. That's pretty cool.
• 37:07
  That's pretty cool. So we start off with and I've
• 37:10
  completely forgotten his name. Is it Scar?
• 37:12
  It's Hulk's son. Yeah.
• 37:14
  Scar Hulk's son. This is one that's being
• 37:16
  released soon or is pre ordinary.
• 37:19
  Yeah, yeah. And I think he would go
• 37:21
  brilliantly with mythics. I'm not he's going to be between
• 37:25
  scaled between sizes, but that's fine.
• 37:27
  It's just a. Difference is he not over
• 37:28
  scaler? No.
• 37:31
  Brute scale. He might be.
• 37:33
  I think he might even. Probably in the brute scale
• 37:35
  sort. Of yeah, but yeah.
• 37:37
  I love his. I think, yeah, they look really
• 37:40
  cool. Yeah.
• 37:40
  And you could give him a bit of a dry brush.
• 37:42
  I mean, you wouldn't need to do much to me, would you?
• 37:45
  He's got a very mythic look. You could get a bit of a dry
• 37:49
  brush, a bit of a wash on parts of him to give a bit more color,
• 37:53
  a bit more. Maybe on the weapons?
• 37:55
  Little. Bits that are kind of plastic
• 37:57
  instead of painted, yeah, like the stones on the front of the
• 38:01
  boots or whatever there. But that's saying a lot of these
• 38:04
  and you'll see that was some of mine as well, a little wash or
• 38:07
  some dry brushing. And actually, you know, anyone
• 38:09
  could even I can do that. And then it, you know, fits in
• 38:12
  even better. That's it.
• 38:14
  And so if we just move through them as this one, I actually, I
• 38:19
  actually do own this one. And it's, it's the youthful
• 38:24
  group from Marvel Legends. And he's actually a pretty youth
• 38:27
  size. Yeah, he's quite chunky.
• 38:31
  He actually, in terms of the articulation feels perfect match
• 38:35
  for, well, cosmics or mythics. I've actually bought him to use
• 38:40
  with Cosmics and I was going to give him a bit of a, a
• 38:42
  Washington, you know, paint him up a bit, give him a bit of some
• 38:47
  sort of armor. I haven't decided exactly what
• 38:49
  to do with him yet, but he he is perfect.
• 38:52
  Might give him a different head. The head's perhaps the even
• 38:54
  though it's actually a good size for cosmics and mythics, it's
• 38:58
  the bit that feels not quite right or makes it feel a bit too
• 39:03
  much like groove. I don't know.
• 39:05
  So I might do something different with that, but I think
• 39:08
  he goes very well in my opinion. Look at.
• 39:12
  The little rocket. And the little raccoon.
• 39:15
  I don't know where that is at the moment.
• 39:18
  That's that's why you bought it man.
• 39:19
  I'll be honest if nothing. 'S doing.
• 39:21
  I want a tiny rocket. Here's another new one that's of
• 39:26
  the pre-order at the moment too, and I think this again perhaps a
• 39:30
  bit of a wash on some parts of it, although I'm sure it looks
• 39:32
  incredible. The Odin figure, again, I'm
• 39:36
  guessing, I actually think it'll end up bigger than brute scale
• 39:39
  by the sounds of it. But it just looks so cool.
• 39:43
  And again, it's got that particular it's, it's where the,
• 39:47
  I don't know how you describe it, isn't it?
• 39:49
  But it's where the lower arm is plugged in to the upper arm and
• 39:54
  the articulations in that lower arm.
• 39:57
  There's just something about that joint.
• 39:58
  I think it looks more natural, more real, even if there is a
• 40:03
  slightly less articulation in it.
• 40:07
  Yeah. So this is an I.
• 40:08
  I don't know if I'm going to buy it, but I just think it's an
• 40:11
  excellent one. This is I think this is when we
• 40:14
  talked on one of our Patreon episodes where we talk, we get
• 40:17
  the latest news and and this is a this is a Pulse exclusive,
• 40:22
  Hasbro Pulse exclusive for Murder Legends.
• 40:24
  I think it possibly, yeah. And yeah, yeah, this this one is
• 40:28
  the reason that I've currently am not selling in my 4 Marvel
• 40:31
  Legends on eBay. Oh.
• 40:33
  Just having that little moment of doubt.
• 40:37
  There you go, a. House with a noble bear for me
• 40:39
  would go right in with right. I'm selling them again.
• 40:44
  These guys. I have memory toys of the bears.
• 40:47
  I I haven't bought one. They were a bit more pricey than
• 40:51
  I wanted to pay, but I actually think they look like they'd go
• 40:55
  very, very well. I know they've had mixed reviews
• 40:58
  in terms of articulation how they work.
• 41:03
  Will Billy Beige and his review of it?
• 41:07
  Wasn't he he he seemed to like it generally but there was
• 41:10
  there's definitely flaws with it.
• 41:12
  It comes with armour. If you got the extra pack so you
• 41:16
  can make it look like something more cosmic you could probably
• 41:21
  find bits and pieces to make it more mythic.
• 41:24
  Or you could just have it as a wear bear type character.
• 41:27
  It looks very cool. Yeah, these these are on my list
• 41:31
  as well. They're all.
• 41:31
  Hands are amazing. Yeah, yeah.
• 41:35
  Again, you could give it a bit of a wash if you wanted, I
• 41:37
  guess, to dirty it up to make it fit.
• 41:40
  It works enough. I really, I know a few people
• 41:43
  complained about it, the lack of fur everywhere, but I actually
• 41:45
  really like the sort of exposed bits as well.
• 41:48
  Yeah, it makes it that bit different.
• 41:49
  As you say, you can use it as a wear bear or something.
• 41:51
  It can be that, just a bit different that isn't calendar.
• 41:55
  Just that it's kind of maybe a little bit a little bit juiced
• 42:00
  that it's kind of outgrown it's. Well, I mean, for me wear bear
• 42:05
  is what comes to mind with it more than a normal bear and
• 42:08
  especially because the way it stands up it you know, it's it's
• 42:12
  human proportions more than bear proportions, isn't it so?
• 42:16
  Yeah, and there's two more colours as well.
• 42:19
  So there's a polar bear variant and there's also a black bear
• 42:23
  one. But the black bear one,
• 42:24
  interestingly they've painted it, it's the non furbits are
• 42:28
  metallic. So actually it's a random
• 42:31
  decision because it wasn't advertised like that.
• 42:32
  But that would work as cosmic, yeah.
• 42:35
  You'd have that as some sort of Cyborg bear or something like
• 42:37
  that in Cosmic so. That's it.
• 42:39
  And again, again, with all of these things that I've shown,
• 42:42
  you could probably modify them ad bits to them from all the
• 42:45
  lines Rich talked about and we talked about like McFarlane and
• 42:49
  even from mythics, you could probably find parts that you
• 42:52
  could attach to them somehow. And I think they're just, you
• 42:55
  know, bring we love. A panda, don't we, Rich?
• 42:58
  I I adore pandas. No such thing as too many pandas
• 43:02
  unless unless it's this panda. I just realised this is sat next
• 43:07
  to me. It's not, it's not a new
• 43:09
  durable, is it? No, continue without me for a
• 43:11
  second this thing into submission.
• 43:14
  Then this guy, I own him, and it's probably the one slight
• 43:17
  exception to the articulation rule, but that's just something
• 43:20
  about him. And I'm determined.
• 43:22
  I I still can't work out what to do with him.
• 43:25
  It's sorry, yes. I forget we've got people.
• 43:27
  This is King Shark from the Suicide Squad movie.
• 43:35
  Yeah. Berlin, DC.
• 43:38
  And I don't know how what we're going to do, but yeah, he's so
• 43:41
  cool that I had to have him. And I'm determined to work out
• 43:44
  how to cosmic him up or mythic him up at some point.
• 43:49
  I think we're talking cosmic here now.
• 43:51
  Yeah, I had AI had a couple of these and I ended up selling
• 43:53
  them both because I could just I was focusing on mythics.
• 43:56
  I just couldn't figure out a way to make it work.
• 43:58
  But it's cosmics. I think it actually worked quite
• 43:59
  well. There's also.
• 44:02
  Go on I. Was going to say there's also an
• 44:05
  older bath figure of King Shark that's.
• 44:09
  Actually the one I've got it's the same except.
• 44:11
  For the show, Oh no, no, no, no, Really old so like a few years
• 44:16
  ago sort of thing and there's a bath figure and it's got more
• 44:20
  realistic head and it's got hammerhead as well.
• 44:24
  Hammerhead shark head as one of the heads as well.
• 44:26
  And that's a really good figure. So if you wanted a big old
• 44:28
  shark, then that's another one which I forgot about until just.
• 44:30
  Now I've got the the Killer Croc as well that they did and I
• 44:36
  can't, I'm getting rid of most of those figures, but I can't
• 44:39
  get rid of him. Even though he's probably not
• 44:41
  going to be you, I can't, you know, he's too good as he is.
• 44:43
  And the same, I'd be the same with the that King Shark if I
• 44:47
  could get him. With the Hammerhead
• 44:49
  particularly, I just wouldn't be able to do anything with him.
• 44:51
  He's too good as he is. So that's the problem with some
• 44:54
  figures. They're just too good as they
• 44:56
  are. But yeah, I mean, I don't know.
• 44:58
  What do you do? You want to go through all of
• 45:00
  mine, John, before we go into your can.
• 45:01
  I can I just do my panda thing before?
• 45:03
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you.
• 45:04
  I'm going to solo you. Zoom in on me.
• 45:06
  I can see you, yeah. Yeah, this thing is awful, but
• 45:08
  it's just happened to you by me. Little panda bamboo.
• 45:15
  Oh it's not? Well, God damn it.
• 45:18
  That's how bad it is. It's one of these awful things.
• 45:20
  Basically you press the button and a little Panda's head pops
• 45:24
  out and goes hello, and then it puts its paw up and takes a coin
• 45:27
  off and goes thank you. And it's a Money Box.
• 45:30
  And it's it's. So annoying.
• 45:32
  I'm really I'm I'm annoyed and glad at the same time that it's
• 45:34
  broken. Yeah, it's so annoying that
• 45:37
  you've broke it it. Appeared, it appeared yesterday
• 45:39
  and it's right by me here sort of thing.
• 45:40
  Holly just appeared with it and goes, oh, look at this and we're
• 45:43
  like, oh God. Right.
• 45:46
  Oh, right. Oh yeah, rotated.
• 45:49
  OK. It's all right.
• 45:51
  So this is. Another This is another cosmic
• 45:55
  lesion. This is sort of to then go that
• 45:57
  some of what I've said about articulation and all that and
• 46:01
  goes out the window when it comes to cosmic.
• 46:03
  I don't seem to mind quite as much with Cosmic.
• 46:05
  Those arms here from what from? This is it.
• 46:09
  I own this custom from Forge. I forget what the whole name of
• 46:15
  the, but I got it at Legions Con last year.
• 46:19
  And yes, it's the articulated icon arms and I'm going to get
• 46:22
  hold of some myself to do other customs with.
• 46:27
  So, you know, yeah, maybe from someone on this podcast.
• 46:30
  I know where they're coming from.
• 46:32
  Yeah. So you know, so that's just sort
• 46:36
  of say, I say what I say about articulation and being a bit
• 46:39
  weird about it. But then when it comes to
• 46:40
  Cosmic, I don't mind it because I absolutely love this custom
• 46:43
  and it's one of my favorite. Figures.
• 46:45
  I'm sorry, that's rotate. I must have forgot to take the.
• 46:48
  That's fine, great looking figure.
• 46:49
  Oh, it should just. For people listening, it was
• 46:51
  it's based on the engineer body, but with a bit of extra paint
• 46:55
  and a red, black and gold sort of color scheme.
• 46:58
  That's silver with very gold in there as well.
• 47:01
  Color scheme. Yeah.
• 47:02
  And it's very, very cool. And then the best figure to go
• 47:07
  to cosmic, and it's a combination of sure, Claire and
• 47:12
  Billy Beige's fault that I am all in on the one, the only Alf.
• 47:18
  And it's one of my favorite bits of my my cosmic displays.
• 47:22
  I've got, I managed to get last year's cosmic con or whatever
• 47:26
  they called it, Alf. So he's got an engineer's head
• 47:30
  in his backpack and a gun sort of sticking out of it.
• 47:33
  And it's as if he's wandered into, oh, he's wearing the
• 47:36
  Cabal, Walter Cabal shirt. He looks like he's, he's
• 47:40
  wandered into the middle of cosmic legions and he just works
• 47:43
  so well. Again, completely.
• 47:47
  They're not, you know, it goes against what I said about
• 47:49
  articulation, but he just, he's so good.
• 47:54
  Yeah. Oh shit, yeah, what's that?
• 47:59
  He's he did. That someone else has done the
• 48:01
  same thing with the Yeah, there you go.
• 48:04
  That's yeah, that's exactly, Yeah, I had a bit.
• 48:07
  He's so good. Yeah.
• 48:10
  And there's, there's probably lots of other things that I
• 48:12
  would put with cosmic I, you know, I was mainly looking for
• 48:17
  figures, as I say, that I'd keep as is or add bits to, to make
• 48:23
  them fit. And I'm mainly focused on mythic
• 48:25
  because as I say, I get a bit. I'm a bit OCD or whatever the
• 48:30
  word is about how the articulation is and all that,
• 48:32
  but then yeah, it would cost me a bit more to it.
• 48:35
  There's even some, I've considered some of the droids
• 48:38
  from Black Series, but it's about size and all that sort of
• 48:42
  thing. Sig.
• 48:43
  See, when you see Sig Henrique's display and the way he does all
• 48:47
  and modifies all of them, it makes me just want to basically
• 48:51
  do that. Sig's.
• 48:53
  Sig's a crazy genius with this sort.
• 48:56
  Of big time, big time, yeah. So, yeah, so that's me again,
• 49:01
  just speaking about. Oh look, he wants it.
• 49:04
  He's all about. Me right, Yeah.
• 49:07
  Yes, that's I must. Yeah, that's tempting as well.
• 49:12
  It was mythic alfs. Oh wow.
• 49:14
  Oh yeah, it's three different Alves with capes and wearing.
• 49:18
  Capes. Yeah, Castle.
• 49:20
  Oh, wow. So you could just make a whole
• 49:23
  series with that. Yeah, that was done by Citroen
• 49:26
  Stub and I apologise about butchering that name, but they
• 49:30
  look great. So tempted to get more Alf just
• 49:32
  to do something like that. Yeah, a faction of Alf's.
• 49:37
  Well, I think you can get the the like the original sort of,
• 49:41
  you know, the first one they released for like 2025 quid
• 49:44
  these days. So.
• 49:45
  Yeah, and John's got it cheap off Aliexpress.
• 49:47
  Oh, did you? Yeah, Yeah.
• 49:49
  Yeah, quite happy with that. The one I still don't have all
• 49:54
  the ones to come and I've got the the cosmic come one but I
• 49:57
  still haven't gone for the original 1 yet.
• 50:00
  Set to get the cat in the sandwich.
• 50:02
  I'm sure my cats every time they're bald, you know, there
• 50:06
  you go look, look for you, right?
• 50:11
  Eh, I got a few, eh, before we get back to rich and so multi
• 50:17
  classics and not all of them for sure.
• 50:20
  There is definitely some that that work or whether I mean, a
• 50:25
  lot of the sculpt is really good on multi classics.
• 50:27
  So, uh, and I think some people would say that the articulation
• 50:34
  isn't, uh, great, but I think if you're into mythic legions, the
• 50:37
  articulation is perfectly fine in in classics.
• 50:40
  Uh, and super 7 still uses it in a lot of the ultimate.
• 50:45
  So you know, your mileage may vary in that one, but I've got
• 50:49
  the beast man. He's on top of the multi
• 50:53
  classics Griffin and I think these two work really well.
• 50:58
  I think the problem with beast man here is that he's beast man.
• 51:01
  So if you know that he's beast man, then it's different, but
• 51:05
  you could definitely use the body for something or use the
• 51:08
  armor. Uh, you know, you could paint it
• 51:11
  up, you could paint it a different color or whatever.
• 51:14
  But this Griffin I think works really well as is.
• 51:18
  I must admit if I had more space that I think I'd have that
• 51:21
  Griffin already, but I keep being tempted by it for sure.
• 51:28
  Yeah. Oh, that's a shame.
• 51:38
  Yeah, so, but I, I think, and this could go for all of the
• 51:41
  multi classic mounts or most of them like battle cat again,
• 51:45
  Panthor, you know who they are, but they are they, they work
• 51:49
  with the scale of the figures. There's one called battle lion,
• 51:52
  uh, which is from 2000 and X, but they did it in classics.
• 51:56
  That's a very cool one. It's not quite battle cat.
• 51:58
  It's the same colors, but umm, uh, different head sculpt and
• 52:04
  that works very cool. And all of these could be
• 52:05
  repainted to to to be different. And then they're just big beasts
• 52:09
  right on for your mythics figures.
• 52:11
  A lot of them are very expensive now in the secondary market,
• 52:14
  which is of course the problem. You know that, Yeah.
• 52:18
  Something like Battle. Sorry.
• 52:20
  Yeah, I was going to say sorry. Something like Battle Lion which
• 52:23
  isn't that well known maybe to people.
• 52:25
  Yes, that's less expensive. Yeah.
• 52:27
  And you and you can use it for like cosmic.
• 52:29
  I could see that being some sort of green lion type creatures
• 52:32
  going across a cosmic landscape with somebody riding it.
• 52:35
  Yeah. So, umm, yeah, definitely worth
• 52:39
  looking into there or if you have some because yeah, some of
• 52:42
  those were like Battle Cap was very cheap for a while.
• 52:45
  That the kind of, you know, in the first couple of years of
• 52:48
  classics collecting and then suddenly went out of kind of out
• 52:53
  of the rotation because they had a kind of an in stock rotation
• 52:57
  and then price just went crazy and they never reissued him.
• 53:00
  So after that first kind of couple of reissues.
• 53:04
  So here's some more classics that kind of work with cosmic
• 53:08
  Umm, more so, uh, and this is the club 2000 X Umm, they did a
• 53:15
  a kind of a a series. Umm, and it's uh, Queen
• 53:21
  Grayskull, Umm Pravas Calyx, umm evil seed.
• 53:28
  And you got the guy in the middle there, which is is.
• 53:33
  It serratus or something I think.
• 53:34
  Yeah, Serratus, yeah. And King Tubla.
• 53:39
  So I think all these figures kind of work with Cosmics or
• 53:45
  could work with cosmics or you could use parts of them.
• 53:47
  They just have a different aesthetic to do what you would
• 53:49
  see in the kind of classic Moto classics.
• 53:53
  I really. Am the king Tubla.
• 53:55
  I was going to say I've got a king tubular with a custom head
• 53:57
  on it. My Mythics.
• 53:59
  I'm not, I'm not showing you boys.
• 54:01
  I'll have to get a photograph of that.
• 54:03
  It's got, it's got, it's got a Yeti head on it.
• 54:05
  So it's it's a Yeti for my my mythics, Yeah.
• 54:08
  That's cool. And these are not the most
• 54:12
  expensive ones on the secondary. I think people don't know these
• 54:15
  characters that well so. Calyx was for a while.
• 54:18
  Alex was over 100 lbs Or was he? I think, I think yeah, because I
• 54:21
  sold mine for like 140 or something like that, but he's
• 54:24
  dropped away again now, so you can get the reasonable price
• 54:27
  now. Nice, so that's them.
• 54:31
  Anything more on those or do you disagree?
• 54:34
  The guy in the middle. I think the guy in the middle
• 54:36
  would work really well with mythics too.
• 54:38
  The serrate serratus. Serratus.
• 54:41
  Yeah, Queen. If I can ever find it cheap.
• 54:45
  One and Pravas probably as well as this kind of demonly looking
• 54:48
  guy might work with mythics now. I feel like yeah, yeah, I feel
• 54:54
  like Queen Grey School probably for me is the one that looks
• 54:56
  most like she'd fit. I actually haven't seen her in
• 54:59
  person in terms of size and. All that, yeah, but I mean it's
• 55:02
  kind of same size as Tila from multi classics.
• 55:06
  But yeah, she might work as in the normal bear.
• 55:09
  Maybe you're in either on Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 55:13
  Doesn't tell. Yeah, I own one classic and it's
• 55:18
  the Drago Man. And of course I got that because
• 55:21
  it was. Oh yeah, there.
• 55:22
  You know the scale then. So yeah, it is.
• 55:24
  It is pretty much the same scale, eh, Of course, my
• 55:28
  favorite Moss man. I think he just fits in
• 55:32
  anything. That's probably the best Moss
• 55:35
  man, probably. Him and Brian fighters can just
• 55:38
  buddy up. Yeah, exactly.
• 55:40
  Stick him in the flock, nobody knows any difference.
• 55:44
  Unintended. Always jarring to see see those
• 55:48
  pin joints they had in MOTU Classics, even here in a flocked
• 55:52
  figure. Umm, I'm glad that they didn't
• 55:57
  become a thing in mythics. So yeah, makes a big difference.
• 56:04
  Uh, then we come into MOTU Classics for Cosmic Legions and
• 56:08
  we have the New Adventures figures, which some of these
• 56:11
  aren't that expensive, some you might, might be more expensive.
• 56:15
  I know Optic, the eyeball guy, he's a bit more expensive and he
• 56:20
  got the intergalactic Skeletor from New Adventures.
• 56:24
  He's he would work with Cosmic, I think.
• 56:28
  And you got this other guy. Oh, what's that other guy?
• 56:32
  I forget his name now he's just gone blank.
• 56:35
  He's got a red suit and the purple head.
• 56:37
  Anyway, he's. Got some daft name like rock.
• 56:43
  Anyway, him and Slog of course, are not slog.
• 56:49
  Slush, slush head. Sorry, slush head.
• 56:52
  This this guy's awesome. Yeah, he's good.
• 56:54
  So there's the two versions in this photo is actually the one
• 56:57
  that is more modern, the master verse one on the right there and
• 57:02
  the multi classics one is on the left.
• 57:04
  So either of those I think look good.
• 57:07
  They're pretty much similar, just very differences in scope.
• 57:12
  Very nearly picked up the master verse one because I thought he
• 57:14
  was so cool and some of the bits he came with I thought would
• 57:16
  make cool little things dotted around the display as well.
• 57:20
  Yeah. And that and yeah, that figure.
• 57:23
  Either one would fit right in the Cosmics.
• 57:29
  Quake, one of the first Super 7 MO two classics.
• 57:36
  He's cool. I just get bit OCD when I see
• 57:40
  this. I don't know how they got that
• 57:42
  pose because that little kind of ball that's in the in the weapon
• 57:47
  there always breaks apart. It's about like it is it does go
• 57:52
  in half and there's like a little kind of computer pad
• 57:54
  inside it or whatever. And but it would never stay
• 57:58
  together for that post of the glued or blue tactics.
• 58:03
  So. But he's cool.
• 58:05
  I think he works as well with the cosmic aesthetic.
• 58:08
  Yeah. Do you think?
• 58:09
  No. Definitely, yeah.
• 58:11
  I think he goes for a few quid now though.
• 58:14
  And the whole thing with cosmic is it's bright, it's fun.
• 58:16
  Yeah. I mean, that's my take on
• 58:17
  cosmic, you know? But yeah, they have that.
• 58:19
  I think that's why he's more easy with it is because it is
• 58:24
  almost why it's more As for me, more fun to make the customs of
• 58:27
  them is because it could be anything, you know, It's huge.
• 58:32
  The and then my last ones here before we go back to a few more
• 58:36
  riches is the slice figures from I think they're Eldo Eldorado
• 58:42
  line. These are a lot of cool beasts
• 58:47
  and not that articulated. You get things like if you look
• 58:51
  at the the dragon here in the bottom, like his wings were
• 58:55
  articulated from the body a bit, but like the legs don't
• 58:59
  articulate and the head will swivel.
• 59:01
  That's all you get. But they're cool little
• 59:03
  background characters for the most part.
• 59:05
  Might be the odd one that you could get to be a little small
• 59:08
  mount for a goblin or something like that.
• 59:10
  You've used a few of these, rich.
• 59:13
  I've used, well I've only used one so far, but the skeleton,
• 59:16
  the scorpion rather bottom left Yeah, yeah, he's amount for my
• 59:19
  lava kits and I. Gotcha.
• 59:23
  Yeah, and you get a few little small Dragons here, but what?
• 59:27
  My wife collects the Dragons or more so I buy them for her every
• 59:31
  time I see a new one. And she has them.
• 59:33
  Well I have suspended them over her work desk with fishing line
• 59:38
  because it's the one room we haven't renovated since we moved
• 59:41
  in and it still has some wooden ceilings.
• 59:44
  Actually not this room I'm in now as well as well down the
• 59:47
  basement so you can stick little tacks in and the fishing line.
• 59:52
  These are these are quite heavy season.
• 59:54
  Is this a long term murder plan? No, no.
• 59:57
  We could wait for you to be dangling some of her head.
• 59:59
  Some. Of them have been there for four
• 1:00:00
  or five years. No and no.
• 1:00:02
  You just double the fishing line and you kind of do but three or
• 1:00:06
  four kind of little tacks into the wood and it works fine.
• 1:00:11
  Yeah. But they would, yeah, they would
• 1:00:13
  might be hurt. They are definitely heavy.
• 1:00:16
  So these are worth checking out if you want little background
• 1:00:19
  characters for your shelves. I would recommend.
• 1:00:22
  Now, I know they're probably easier to get over here because
• 1:00:25
  it's a German company that does them and they're in every kind
• 1:00:32
  of big, big store usually. Yeah, Smith's toys over here,
• 1:00:39
  Yeah. So you get them more easy in the
• 1:00:41
  UK, I'm not sure in, I know they're available in America,
• 1:00:44
  but I'm not sure if it's a select few from the range that
• 1:00:48
  kind of maybe they put for the American market.
• 1:00:51
  Yeah, this kind of tree dude, he's relatively new.
• 1:00:54
  I've seen him but he's cool. He's very cool.
• 1:00:57
  I've I've had in my hand several times in Smith's and just on
• 1:01:00
  note, put him down, put him down, fork block wagon member.
• 1:01:04
  My kid. Fit in really well.
• 1:01:06
  My kids got him as a present at some point for a party birthday
• 1:01:11
  party so I might snag him at some stage.
• 1:01:17
  Yeah, and all the tendrils on the back, they all move, They
• 1:01:19
  all rotate. There's limited articulation,
• 1:01:20
  but they all rotate in the body and that's all.
• 1:01:22
  This kind of Phoenix guy reminds me a little bit of that Mara
• 1:01:25
  Legends Gene Phoenix that we talked about in Patreon.
• 1:01:30
  This Fire Phoenix is also very cool.
• 1:01:34
  I don't know if it's a Phoenix exactly, but it's something.
• 1:01:37
  Bird feels like it's been yeah, doesn't it?
• 1:01:40
  And again, this would be about 5 inches tall, I'd say or so.
• 1:01:45
  So again, more of a kind of a background, the character, not
• 1:01:49
  like a character in legions, just, you know, I mean, if
• 1:01:53
  you've got a team on the shelf and you need a kind of a
• 1:01:55
  creature to fit in, this is how I see these fitting in.
• 1:01:58
  Not like, as you know, here's another member of Earth there.
• 1:02:02
  Flaming Phoenix, you. Know I'm immediately thinking a
• 1:02:06
  companion. I've never seen this one before
• 1:02:08
  actually I'm very tired by this but no, it's like a companion to
• 1:02:12
  a figure sort of thing. He's it's Bob and his Phoenix or
• 1:02:15
  whatever sort of thing, Yeah. I got you.
• 1:02:18
  Yeah. So I think that's all of them.
• 1:02:24
  We think. Oh, no, we've got the crocodile
• 1:02:25
  inside. Have you seen him?
• 1:02:27
  I'm not. He's quite cool as well.
• 1:02:31
  He is, yeah, about probably another, you know about 5 inch
• 1:02:36
  figure kind of, you know a big and quite well.
• 1:02:41
  These and these are all were very nicely painted. 5 inches
• 1:02:45
  so. Big 5 centimeters in your case
• 1:02:59
  and yeah so again the croc pretty cool and we leave the
• 1:03:04
  rest of them to talk about after these so we got back to the the
• 1:03:09
  werewolves are we done with this one we're.
• 1:03:11
  Not so in the bottom middle. There there's a couple of
• 1:03:14
  figures from the Rampage movie line.
• 1:03:16
  Oh yeah. It's made by small company.
• 1:03:18
  I remember the company's name, but there's a wolf which seats
• 1:03:23
  Myth the Legion really well. My Malachi cinder horn rides one
• 1:03:26
  of those. It's not the best articulated
• 1:03:30
  thing in the world, but it looks good.
• 1:03:31
  It scales really well with mythics.
• 1:03:33
  And then you have the massive crocodile mutation Beastie
• 1:03:37
  thing, which I love, I absolutely love.
• 1:03:39
  And I've got King Noglin and Nubnik, both of them riding
• 1:03:45
  mine. So they they work really well as
• 1:03:47
  mounts, both of those. And then I hated to do this, but
• 1:03:51
  it's been painted lots to solve with it.
• 1:03:54
  There's an A walk figure on the bottom right now.
• 1:03:58
  Aesthetics wise, they don't go with Mythics at all.
• 1:04:01
  Based on their customer service, they should probably go straight
• 1:04:03
  in the bin, but that's. Another matter, but.
• 1:04:06
  If you paint them up and weather them actually looks really good
• 1:04:08
  and would fit in with mythics. So this I can't remember who it
• 1:04:11
  was it did this but they did a really good job head to toe
• 1:04:13
  repaint and it looks excellent. The face is still not quite
• 1:04:17
  mythics, but it looks really good as a pick up I.
• 1:04:19
  Did it. As you know, I picked up a
• 1:04:20
  couple of their newer wave that's I consume in production
• 1:04:25
  at the moment to go with the Cosmic because even though they
• 1:04:30
  obviously fit in their world, they're a bit more like with
• 1:04:33
  guns and metal arms and things. So I picked people to go with
• 1:04:37
  the Cosmic. Has that wolf gone up on
• 1:04:40
  pre-order yet? That sort of cybernetic wolf one
• 1:04:42
  they did. Yeah, some big bat, yeah.
• 1:04:45
  OK, not that I'd never buy from awk, but.
• 1:04:49
  I've bought two of them with the intent it's going to get ripped.
• 1:04:51
  Apart, you might accidentally buy off someone who's selling
• 1:04:56
  them in a lot, yeah. Can't rule this exact.
• 1:05:00
  Right, some samurais rich. Yes, this is a theme for me,
• 1:05:04
  isn't there? So the top row and then the
• 1:05:06
  bottom left is the feudal. Sorry, articulated Icons Feudal
• 1:05:11
  series from Whoosh. These were dirt, dirt cheap a
• 1:05:17
  few years ago. You can get like $15 each sort
• 1:05:21
  of thing. They're they're a bit pricier
• 1:05:22
  now. They're they're on the small
• 1:05:24
  side so you can use them for mythics, but you'd be have to be
• 1:05:28
  careful what you stood them next to.
• 1:05:30
  They could look city scale wise. However, the armour pieces and
• 1:05:34
  that go really well on 2.0 figures.
• 1:05:36
  So I've got a lot of 2.0 figures already wearing this or going to
• 1:05:40
  be wearing these, these vests and that sort of stuff.
• 1:05:42
  But I mean these themselves, they come with tons of
• 1:05:44
  accessories. There's like a couple of heads,
• 1:05:46
  helmets, masks, katanas, bow, all this sort of stuff.
• 1:05:51
  So, and as I said is if you do it carefully they can fit in the
• 1:05:54
  background with some mythic samurai style things.
• 1:05:59
  And as math as Mal has shown, you can use maybe the arms and
• 1:06:03
  stuff on the cosmic or something like that.
• 1:06:05
  Yes. And then the bottom center in
• 1:06:10
  the bottom right. These are the Star Wars
• 1:06:13
  realisation range. Movie realisation, yeah.
• 1:06:16
  Yes, and there's a very bit of background on the next one.
• 1:06:19
  Yeah, these are scale wise work really well with mythics.
• 1:06:22
  They're the same source of size as mythics.
• 1:06:26
  They work really well as well. Some of them work really well,
• 1:06:29
  again as some of your characters, some of them like
• 1:06:31
  the Stormtroopers and that are obviously Stormtroopers and you
• 1:06:33
  couldn't really blend them into mythics.
• 1:06:35
  But I think here we've got Mandalorian, Kylo Ren and then
• 1:06:41
  on the next page you've got Boba Bet, all of which I think if
• 1:06:43
  you're sensible with them, you could fit them into a mythics
• 1:06:46
  display. You know, you might want to
• 1:06:48
  change the armour below to get rid of the gun obviously from
• 1:06:50
  Boba Bet and that sort of thing. But they work really well.
• 1:06:52
  If you're not worried about the the posing particularly as well,
• 1:06:56
  then you can get knockoffs of all three of these on eBay,
• 1:06:59
  Aliexpress, etcetera for a really, you know, £20 sort of
• 1:07:03
  thing. And they're the sculpt is just
• 1:07:05
  as good as the articulation is horrible or what?
• 1:07:08
  It's the it's the quality. So bits, you know, if you if
• 1:07:10
  you, if you get a really bad one, you might lose like an arm
• 1:07:13
  might fall off all of a sudden, that sort of thing.
• 1:07:14
  But but as long as you get it and you get into pose and you're
• 1:07:18
  happy with it, then yeah, it works.
• 1:07:19
  Really. So the paint is still decent on
• 1:07:21
  the knockoff. Yeah, the paint's decent, all
• 1:07:23
  part, all parts seem fine. It's just that cohesion and
• 1:07:26
  staying together that's the. Thing.
• 1:07:27
  Not that we would ever condone a knockoff in this show, of
• 1:07:30
  course. A. 100% No. 100% if.
• 1:07:32
  You if you're using it for parts, I mean, Yeah.
• 1:07:35
  Oh yeah. That's true.
• 1:07:37
  That's true. Reuse, recycle.
• 1:07:39
  Isn't that it? Exactly.
• 1:07:40
  And then? Who are these two on the top?
• 1:07:44
  Yes. So now we're we're into cosmic
• 1:07:46
  stuff now. So top centre and top right,
• 1:07:50
  these are Funko figures from I think it's a game called Evolve.
• 1:07:56
  And these are a range of like 6 inch sort of scale figures.
• 1:07:59
  So the one in the middle is called Markov.
• 1:08:02
  It's quite a big figure. It's bigger than your standard
• 1:08:05
  cosmic, maybe 7 inches, a bit broader.
• 1:08:08
  I've got six of these quick head swap and you've got another unit
• 1:08:14
  from another, another affiliation sort of thing.
• 1:08:17
  So that works really well. And then on the top right,
• 1:08:21
  you've got a female character, which I don't have.
• 1:08:23
  But again, I think with the the outfit and that sort of thing
• 1:08:26
  he'd actually make. I mean, I don't have humans in
• 1:08:27
  my Cosmerian, but he could actually fit it in well and make
• 1:08:30
  it work well. And what sort of prices can you
• 1:08:32
  pick these up for? The mark, I've not checked the
• 1:08:36
  female, but the Markov you can get for anywhere between 10 and
• 1:08:40
  15 LB. Wow.
• 1:08:43
  So I picked, I picked up three. Yeah, I picked up three Markovs
• 1:08:47
  on eBay this week. In fact, they're in a box next
• 1:08:50
  to me because I've opened them. Yeah, and they were 8 LB each
• 1:08:52
  and £3.00 total postage. Wow. £9 each and they.
• 1:08:57
  Understand how you have 6. And they work really well with
• 1:09:00
  Mythic, with Cosmics. So I say they're a bit bigger,
• 1:09:03
  but I've got, you know, some of the bigger cosmic heads.
• 1:09:05
  I think I've shown a couple to you guys that are just too big
• 1:09:07
  for a Novian lean or a, you know, Sligor web sort of thing
• 1:09:12
  then go really well on that. Then we got Joy toy.
• 1:09:17
  We do. So Joy Toy's famous for their
• 1:09:20
  obviously 118, yeah, 118 scale stuff.
• 1:09:23
  So they're Warhammer, the turtles that are now venturing
• 1:09:26
  into much Demal's delight and despair.
• 1:09:30
  So they're three and three and three quarter inch figures.
• 1:09:32
  But they do. I can hear it.
• 1:09:34
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 1:09:40
  But they also do mech suit characters.
• 1:09:43
  So some of these are one to 18 scale, a couple of them might be
• 1:09:45
  1 to 25 scale. So you can see quite often
• 1:09:49
  they've got small figures, like human sized figures with them as
• 1:09:51
  well, which is just taken through in the bin and then
• 1:09:54
  you've got an 8 1/2 to 10 inch. Could you not sell them on eBay
• 1:09:59
  for like you know, to recoup some costs or?
• 1:10:03
  Even I wouldn't steep that low, I don't think.
• 1:10:06
  Are they 118? 118, yeah, I think one of them
• 1:10:10
  might be 125, but generally they tend to 118, OK.
• 1:10:13
  They stand like 8 1/2 to maybe 11 inches tall as a maximum.
• 1:10:17
  So they fit really well with Cosmic in terms of having like a
• 1:10:21
  robot, the little. Figures.
• 1:10:22
  The little figures are 118, No. Are they smaller?
• 1:10:26
  Are they 3 inch three and a? Half.
• 1:10:27
  No, they're smaller again. Oh, OK.
• 1:10:30
  Yeah, OK. I think maybe they're not, no.
• 1:10:32
  Maybe they're 3 3/4. Actually, they might be.
• 1:10:34
  OK. But yeah, but there's a whole
• 1:10:36
  range of one, so you can see. Yeah, these are the pictures
• 1:10:39
  here, Yeah. The one in the bottom middle
• 1:10:42
  I've got. It's got like multiple Canon
• 1:10:45
  launchers coming out and then it's got a seat on the back for
• 1:10:48
  the rider to sit in. So one of the heads you painted
• 1:10:51
  for me, John, actually a little evil gobblingy thing, which is
• 1:10:55
  not a gobbling colour. It's going to sit and pilot.
• 1:10:57
  That. And then I've got another one to
• 1:11:00
  come to the next page, John, I think, Oh, no back, sorry to the
• 1:11:03
  age before the bottom left. It's like, it's for me, it's
• 1:11:09
  like a police officer type robot that's joined a band of outlaws
• 1:11:12
  sort of thing. So he's got that sort of riot
• 1:11:15
  shield and the weapon and that sort of thing.
• 1:11:17
  And they just, I mean, you have to put them together.
• 1:11:19
  They come like in bits, you have to put them together.
• 1:11:22
  But aesthetically I think they go really, really well with
• 1:11:25
  cosmics, particularly if you're doing more of the sort of rebel,
• 1:11:29
  you know, mercenary style side of things.
• 1:11:31
  I mean, they're not cheap. They're looking at 60 to $120.00
• 1:11:37
  probably for each one, depending on which one you go for.
• 1:11:41
  If you think you had something official, you know, in that
• 1:11:45
  you'd be paying that anyway sort of thing.
• 1:11:47
  And yeah, you get some really with this.
• 1:11:50
  Yeah. So I mean, if you if you even
• 1:11:51
  just wanted to dip your toe in with one and it's still a big
• 1:11:55
  expense, but it might be worth that and he probably still be
• 1:11:58
  able to sell if it wasn't for you.
• 1:12:00
  Yeah, maybe it's one I get my toe me too of.
• 1:12:03
  Course he did. I love this one with the little
• 1:12:05
  wings on it. He's good.
• 1:12:07
  Yeah, it's a good one. Yeah.
• 1:12:09
  So it's like a yeah, it's like a flying sort of suit as well.
• 1:12:12
  And then one in the middle. Actually, I need to get that at
• 1:12:14
  some point. It's very much that sort of
• 1:12:16
  robotic sniper sort of feel to him.
• 1:12:18
  So the big rifle, The domed head.
• 1:12:21
  It's a very cool stuff. We need to move on now I.
• 1:12:23
  Was going to say the problem with me is I'd I'd buy one to go
• 1:12:26
  with cosmics and that would be me into joy toy.
• 1:12:32
  Yeah, and judge, invite what you've been telling me about
• 1:12:35
  your wallet. You don't need that problem,
• 1:12:39
  right? Warhammer from McFarland I
• 1:12:43
  believe. Yes, I so some of these I don't
• 1:12:46
  think go cosmic because there's some of them are like, I mean,
• 1:12:48
  not the ones in the pictures, but generally the range.
• 1:12:50
  They're such obviously space marine types that don't
• 1:12:54
  particularly work. However, I think some of the
• 1:12:56
  lesser known ones, once you start taking the the helmeted
• 1:12:59
  heads, obviously like Space Space Wolves top left comes with
• 1:13:03
  an unhelmeted head. You know, you could put some fur
• 1:13:06
  on it and that sort of stuff if you want to make it a space wolf
• 1:13:08
  or you can get a different head and use that.
• 1:13:10
  And I think that would work well with cosmics.
• 1:13:12
  Again, one in the middle. I was going to say, well, you
• 1:13:15
  could even take that head and use that on something, couldn't
• 1:13:18
  you? That's and some of the parts of
• 1:13:20
  this would work on Cosmics as well I think.
• 1:13:24
  You are quite right there, Mel. Yes, see This is why I put the
• 1:13:28
  pre pictures up and you guys do all the sensible talking.
• 1:13:31
  But now I agree, I actually do think some of the MacFarlane
• 1:13:34
  Warhammer stuff, there's two you're going to bring up in a
• 1:13:37
  bit that I think I've very nearly bought myself to go with
• 1:13:40
  Cosmos as well. And then top, middle and right
• 1:13:43
  middle again, just another couple of Space Marines.
• 1:13:45
  The one on the top right is a new figure.
• 1:13:47
  It's a Chaos Marine, and it's dirt for a MacFarlane figure.
• 1:13:51
  It's got a much dirtier, scruffier paint job than all
• 1:13:53
  sorts, which again, I think would work well.
• 1:13:57
  Yeah, Tyranid's bottom left. This is the one that's out at
• 1:14:01
  the moment and there's a second one coming out this year, which
• 1:14:04
  was the unpainted version originally and now it's going to
• 1:14:06
  be. A painted.
• 1:14:08
  Version as well. Be like the Cthulhu.
• 1:14:10
  Big along claws and that, yeah. That's the one I really like
• 1:14:14
  because they're out, yeah. They're bringing out a painted
• 1:14:17
  version Mal later this year. Oh no.
• 1:14:20
  I'd like to apologize to anyone that's listened to this episode
• 1:14:23
  that ends up getting into financial difficulty.
• 1:14:27
  Join us. We unfortunately can't take any
• 1:14:31
  responsibility for that, but we will sympathize with you, we
• 1:14:35
  will buy you and find at least it's gone as an apology.
• 1:14:38
  Well, if we can afford it. Yeah, it's going to say we'll
• 1:14:41
  spend all our money. Oh no, you need to prove your
• 1:14:43
  financial difficulty. Log into your Internet banking.
• 1:14:50
  Show me the 0. Credit card statements will be
• 1:14:53
  required. And I've got to say the yeah,
• 1:14:56
  this is coming from an Irish one and a Welshman.
• 1:14:58
  It's not often they buy people drinks, say.
• 1:15:02
  No, no, no, no. Not be lumped into that.
• 1:15:08
  I got married and I had a total free bar for everyone.
• 1:15:11
  Yeah, yeah. To.
• 1:15:15
  Pay five figures the next, the next morning, imagine that.
• 1:15:21
  And I looked at the bill and went, wow, they missed a lot of
• 1:15:24
  those beers because I know about 10 blokes that drank all the
• 1:15:29
  beers that's on the bill. So I don't know what the other
• 1:15:31
  hundred people were drunk. So obviously you sold them that
• 1:15:36
  John straight away. No, I said, do you want cash or
• 1:15:43
  check? So the guy in the the middle, he
• 1:15:51
  doesn't look like it here, but he's a big boy.
• 1:15:53
  He's like 10 inches figure. It's an ogre.
• 1:15:59
  And yeah, it's, it's really cool.
• 1:16:01
  I've got three of them, obviously, one I'm going to keep
• 1:16:05
  as is with my Warhammer 40,000 display, and then the other two
• 1:16:10
  I'm going to put into Cosmics. And Uncle Jim Workshop does
• 1:16:14
  brilliant heads for these. He's got a couple of amazing
• 1:16:17
  over and heads specifically for this figure.
• 1:16:20
  Yeah. And you can get painted or
• 1:16:21
  unpainted. They're really, really good.
• 1:16:24
  And then on the right, you've got another Space Marine again,
• 1:16:27
  because it's the Terminator, it's a, it's a bigger body type,
• 1:16:31
  so it gives you more flexibility in terms of heads you can use
• 1:16:33
  and that sort of stuff for it. So I think that would get away
• 1:16:35
  with mixing in Cosmic as well. Are we no humans in cosmic or
• 1:16:39
  are we? I personally mind no no.
• 1:16:44
  Humans. Humans.
• 1:16:45
  OK, now. I, I don't mind a human, call
• 1:16:48
  them Terrans because, you know, we've got to keep it to sci-fi.
• 1:16:53
  They can't be human and earthlings.
• 1:16:55
  They've got to be Terrans. Fair enough.
• 1:17:00
  But yes, I don't mind them. OK, some more Warhammer.
• 1:17:06
  Here, Yeah, so we've got a female character on the top
• 1:17:08
  left, a sister of Adeptus or something like that.
• 1:17:11
  People are noticed. As a battle.
• 1:17:13
  Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it will kill me for that.
• 1:17:16
  But again, works really well as a female cosmic figure I think.
• 1:17:18
  Not a Warhammer podcast, more responsibility.
• 1:17:22
  Top, middle and bottom left are necrons.
• 1:17:25
  So robotic are considered. Yeah, robotic, you know, robots
• 1:17:29
  basically that that fight in Warhammer.
• 1:17:31
  And again, I think they'd work really well with Cosmic.
• 1:17:35
  I actually thought about getting a couple of them to rip apart
• 1:17:37
  and see what their arms look like on them.
• 1:17:40
  Ah, yeah. Yeah, but I haven't.
• 1:17:43
  I haven't got there. I'll let you know if I do.
• 1:17:45
  It's when if you do get any Mal keep an eye on the price.
• 1:17:48
  The price goes all over the place.
• 1:17:49
  So when I first like £40 each and then I picked up two of the
• 1:17:54
  normal soldiers and a flayed one bottom left for like £40 in
• 1:17:58
  total. Oh wow.
• 1:17:59
  OK. Somebody who's doing like a
• 1:18:01
  batch deal. So keep your eye out.
• 1:18:02
  You can get some good deals but yeah, a few and far between and
• 1:18:05
  then Tot right, Mal is the painted version of that yeah,
• 1:18:08
  yeah. That tyrant tyranny that you
• 1:18:10
  like so? Yeah.
• 1:18:12
  He's that's coming and they fit really well, you know, multiple
• 1:18:15
  arms, you know, you can be your cosmic demony type thing that I
• 1:18:18
  have to deal with. And then centre bottom we're
• 1:18:24
  back to to mythics. This is just a very brief
• 1:18:26
  picture showing all the MacFarlane Witcher characters.
• 1:18:30
  Again, you probably with the exception of the ice giant in
• 1:18:33
  the middle, which I have as part of my mythics display.
• 1:18:36
  You wouldn't necessarily want to use them with the heads they
• 1:18:38
  come with, but a Mythics head, because they're McFarland stuff
• 1:18:40
  is 7 inches tall, so it's scaled as well.
• 1:18:42
  In fact, it's a little bit bigger than Mythics, so a
• 1:18:44
  mythics designed head would work really well on those.
• 1:18:48
  And could you touch up the heads if you're a painter or?
• 1:18:51
  I think you could, yes. If you're a painter, it's a
• 1:18:54
  basic sculpt, but I think you could certainly do a better job
• 1:18:56
  than McFarland do. Yes, absolutely.
• 1:19:00
  And then boxer, yeah, bottom right is the start of my Marvel
• 1:19:04
  Legends bath. So the builder figures, because
• 1:19:07
  these are bigger than normal Marvel Legends, they scale much
• 1:19:09
  better with with mythics and Cosmics.
• 1:19:11
  And I think particularly Cosmics they work really well.
• 1:19:14
  So yeah, you've got Korg the Rockman there.
• 1:19:18
  You've got Rhino top left again. You you need a head swap for
• 1:19:20
  that, but it gives you that really cool armoured body look.
• 1:19:25
  You've got Ursa Major, the bear in the middle again if you want
• 1:19:30
  to wear bear or something like that that's an option.
• 1:19:32
  Probably not as good as memory toy ones but still a cool bear.
• 1:19:35
  A character on the top right is called Armadillo, so if you want
• 1:19:38
  like a really armoured beers looking fella then they be a big
• 1:19:42
  wide character. For mythics or cosmics that's a
• 1:19:45
  good option. Bottom left I want to say Titus.
• 1:19:49
  It's Guardian of the Galaxy character, so it's a one eyed
• 1:19:54
  tiger with a massive Gatling gun type hand.
• 1:19:58
  He's in my cosmic display. I think he fits in nicely.
• 1:20:02
  Then you've got a couple of robots suits.
• 1:20:03
  You've got Mandroid and Iron. No Hydra Stomper.
• 1:20:11
  Yeah, bottom, middle, bottom right again.
• 1:20:13
  If you just want some sort of neck or you know, take the head
• 1:20:17
  off, put not human obviously because it's Cosmerian, but an
• 1:20:20
  alien head in there as if it's wearing that suit, then that
• 1:20:23
  would work really well as well. Oh, this one is good, Yeah.
• 1:20:28
  Yeah, top left is Sour Saueron again, the mythics.
• 1:20:33
  Yeah, the mythics. That works really well.
• 1:20:36
  You could even use it with Savage Crucible stuff as well
• 1:20:38
  potentially as it's got that sort of dinosaur Y look to him.
• 1:20:42
  Big time. Bottom left is the Brood Queen.
• 1:20:46
  Now this is an older figure and costs an arm and a leg, so this
• 1:20:49
  might not be available for people, but again, for a cosmic
• 1:20:52
  or a mythic figure. But I was thinking in terms of
• 1:20:55
  the Svexians. You've got this big bug type
• 1:20:58
  creature that could actually work as some sort of Svexian
• 1:21:01
  queen or something like that. The top, middle and top right
• 1:21:07
  again, it's just armoured bodies, you know, big armoured
• 1:21:12
  bodies that you can keep as ears.
• 1:21:13
  You might need a little wash over them, some of the shinier
• 1:21:15
  ones, maybe to make them fit in or put an alien head in or
• 1:21:18
  something. And it's wearing a power suit
• 1:21:21
  and they're relatively cheap a lot of these well, you can pick
• 1:21:23
  them up for like 30 pound 40 LB, so you're not breaking the bank
• 1:21:26
  to get a really good sized figure.
• 1:21:29
  Bottom middle is stilts man, which is a little crazy, but hey
• 1:21:32
  it's cosmiriam anything goes. Why can't you have something
• 1:21:35
  with massive legs that you know I.
• 1:21:37
  Was seeing people that like, you know, they they have multiple of
• 1:21:41
  the stilt pieces and they just make them like massive.
• 1:21:43
  Oh, sore as they can. Yeah, I like that.
• 1:21:49
  And then bottom right, I can completely blank up what the
• 1:21:53
  character's called. It's like a that's a crawl
• 1:21:59
  sentry or something like that. And that's cheap.
• 1:22:02
  So this one you can pick up for like £25.
• 1:22:06
  And again, it's a really good back size figure.
• 1:22:08
  Should have a different head on it.
• 1:22:10
  Or, you know, you can keep it as it is.
• 1:22:11
  You've got a robot or you've got somebody in a robotic suit.
• 1:22:15
  Got you. All right.
• 1:22:19
  We move on here. There's more.
• 1:22:20
  More baths yeah more baths so top left is Crimson Dynamo so
• 1:22:25
  from the Iron Man bad guy again this is the sort of big suit
• 1:22:29
  version of him so again I think fits into cosmic well top centre
• 1:22:33
  is Wendigo. I've got him in mythics at the
• 1:22:39
  moment all over. I'm going to be over to to be
• 1:22:41
  with Wolverine, him on a Marvel display.
• 1:22:43
  But again, there's oh Mal, I'm sorry.
• 1:22:48
  No, no, I, I don't need him. I did say I wasn't using him.
• 1:22:51
  He was in a box so. Yeah, but in some sort of like
• 1:22:54
  northern snowy Beastie type way. He works well with mythics.
• 1:23:00
  Then we've got some Marvel selects.
• 1:23:02
  So Diamond Select do the Marvel selects.
• 1:23:04
  So these are bigger than Marvel Legends, generally not quite as
• 1:23:10
  articulated, I don't think, and slightly different paint jobs
• 1:23:12
  and that sort of thing, but again, can work really well.
• 1:23:15
  So top right is grouped. This fella's big, He's like 1011
• 1:23:18
  inches tall. I've got him in my flock.
• 1:23:22
  The face sculpt is just different enough for me, not
• 1:23:24
  being a comic guardian guy, that's a comic reader that isn't
• 1:23:28
  grouped for me. It's just a big F off Tree Man
• 1:23:31
  who's there to guard Artemis. Bottom left you've got Titanium
• 1:23:35
  Man, another Iron Man baddie again, robot, or you know,
• 1:23:41
  somebody in a suit. Middle bottom is Gladiator Hulk.
• 1:23:46
  This can work as an ogre I mean. Had this figure.
• 1:23:49
  It's really. Nice, yeah, you know, you can
• 1:23:52
  swap out for a 3D printed Hoga size and if you want something
• 1:23:56
  different, you've got the really cool armour pieces, the weapon,
• 1:23:58
  the shield, the. Weapons are brilliant, yeah.
• 1:24:00
  It's a great figure. And then bottom right is another
• 1:24:05
  version of Crimson Dynamo again, sort of robot look if you want
• 1:24:10
  that in cosmics. And then just I think it's the
• 1:24:14
  end of my stuff. Thank God, my voice really goes.
• 1:24:17
  The model selected again. You got better a bill top left.
• 1:24:20
  This is like a Thor look alike alien again, because it's
• 1:24:24
  selected. It's a big figure.
• 1:24:25
  It's quite bright, so you'd have to bear that in mind.
• 1:24:28
  But a really good figure. You can get it for a reasonable
• 1:24:30
  price. I was very unhappy at the price
• 1:24:31
  that I sold mine for when I got rid of it.
• 1:24:35
  Centre middle is Spider Man, Lizard, I think movie one again
• 1:24:40
  for some sort of weird reptilian creature, be it cosmic or
• 1:24:42
  mythics, that would work well. And then top right, you've got
• 1:24:45
  Destroyer, so again that big from 4:00.
• 1:24:48
  So again the big robot, you know, takes everybody on sort of
• 1:24:52
  thing. And then the two bottom pictures
• 1:24:54
  are my Memory Bear pictures and Mal talked about them coming
• 1:24:57
  with an armour set and the bottom right, you can see that
• 1:24:59
  as it comes with a club, a pauldron, wrist guards,
• 1:25:04
  loincloth, the whole sort of work.
• 1:25:05
  So you can really beef them up and armour them up.
• 1:25:10
  Very good. Well, thanks, Travis.
• 1:25:15
  They all go, I mean, it's it's a with this, it's a personal taste
• 1:25:18
  thing and some of the Marvel Legends, for instance, you might
• 1:25:21
  want to put a little wash on it or a bit of.
• 1:25:22
  Yeah, yeah, some of. Them dial down the colours a
• 1:25:25
  little bit, but it's something that you know, even a newbie
• 1:25:28
  basic painter like me could do. And if you can get a big figure
• 1:25:33
  for like 2530 quid, even if you have to get a different head for
• 1:25:36
  it, it's still you know, it's something different on your
• 1:25:39
  shelf. It gives you that robot or that
• 1:25:41
  mech presence. Right.
• 1:25:44
  So the rest of these and some of these are actually your
• 1:25:47
  spillover as well, Rich. So I put them with, with, with
• 1:25:53
  my stuff, but we've got fewer a planet and which is now puree
• 1:26:00
  toys and might change the name again at some stage, but, uh,
• 1:26:06
  they're the ones that came with the tiger guy.
• 1:26:10
  What's his name again? Master Wang?
• 1:26:14
  Master Wang. That's right, yeah.
• 1:26:16
  And, uh, the William is the werewolf guy.
• 1:26:20
  Umm, they got the kind of, uh, samurai Bunny Is is it a Bunny
• 1:26:26
  or kind of a? It's a Bunny.
• 1:26:28
  Yeah, it is a rabbit. Got the big crocodile guy they
• 1:26:34
  got some pandas so these figures are cool the aesthetic is really
• 1:26:40
  kind of gritty and kind of grim dark almost but really kind of
• 1:26:44
  well weathered. The sculpt is amazing.
• 1:26:47
  I know our friend from Planetary Dog Toys Sebedom was involved in
• 1:26:51
  some of these. Maybe maybe all of them, but
• 1:26:53
  definitely most of them. I know he was definitely
• 1:26:56
  involved in Master Wang and the William the Werewolf guy, so
• 1:27:04
  definitely worth picking up. Their about $100.00 of figures,
• 1:27:07
  so it is a bit of an investment but I think you get what you pay
• 1:27:12
  for in this regard. I think it's them.
• 1:27:15
  They're doing the Mad Monkey, which basically is a Mad Max
• 1:27:19
  styled all right, Monkey King and Oh yeah, buying that one for
• 1:27:23
  sure. That looks really cool.
• 1:27:25
  Yeah, they have some stuff in the pipeline that we've seen
• 1:27:28
  that is definitely cool. And then we come on to, I
• 1:27:35
  thought it was something they should put in there.
• 1:27:37
  Savage Crucible as goes with Mythics, because I think a lot
• 1:27:41
  of people will put it with there's a debate as to whether
• 1:27:43
  it does or not. I don't know.
• 1:27:45
  Rich, what do you think based on wave one?
• 1:27:49
  Some do better than others. The aesthetic doesn't.
• 1:27:52
  It's not, it's not quite the same, but some of the characters
• 1:27:56
  like the the bottom left on the picture and the and the second
• 1:27:59
  from the right and the bottom character's name now, but that's
• 1:28:02
  got more of a weathered look and a more of a realistic look.
• 1:28:05
  Yeah. Whereas whereas the black and
• 1:28:07
  white guy, the Imperial Guard is a bit more basic in the colour
• 1:28:11
  palette. So doesn't it goes, I mean, all
• 1:28:14
  of these go fine with mythics, but it's not, it's not an exact
• 1:28:16
  sort of yes, you could easily mistake that for mythic
• 1:28:19
  allegiance. However, they do work.
• 1:28:21
  They do work well with mythics. And the accessories slash
• 1:28:23
  weapons packs they. They look, I think they
• 1:28:27
  definitely, yeah, they look fantastic.
• 1:28:29
  Yeah, there's some brilliant ones, yeah.
• 1:28:31
  As you know, I picked up a commode to Cosmic because I
• 1:28:34
  thought he'd look cool working on that.
• 1:28:37
  Still OK. Somebody, somebody took his head
• 1:28:39
  off, commodes that. Top Second.
• 1:28:44
  Yeah, Someone took his head off and used on a mythic body and it
• 1:28:46
  worked really well, Really cool. Yeah.
• 1:28:50
  There's wave 2 from them, so you see the weapons packs there.
• 1:28:54
  There is weapons packs wave one as well that work, but I think
• 1:28:58
  you could see from what you see in the weapons packs there that
• 1:29:01
  you could definitely use some of those pieces with mythics.
• 1:29:04
  The Jaeger here I think looks quite good and this one on the
• 1:29:09
  top left. I think we agree is not our
• 1:29:12
  favorite. Stop talking about preordered
• 1:29:15
  that one. What's it called Ridge?
• 1:29:18
  I have no idea. OK.
• 1:29:21
  Watch out when? It comes out, everybody's red,
• 1:29:24
  black and gold demon. You want?
• 1:29:26
  Yeah. I thought it might look.
• 1:29:28
  I thought it looked different enough to be some sort of demon,
• 1:29:30
  but I'm not convinced anymore. Could put the Barbarians with
• 1:29:35
  your house the noble bear, but I'm not a fan of the barbarian
• 1:29:39
  aesthetic. I think pieces could be used
• 1:29:43
  from them. I've picked, I've picked up the
• 1:29:48
  pre. Ordered the.
• 1:29:52
  Yeah, the Frazetta one, and I ended up getting that other guy,
• 1:29:55
  the one that you've pitched there, I can't remember what his
• 1:29:59
  name is. He's not man.
• 1:30:00
  No. Who?
• 1:30:01
  No, it's the other one. It's not.
• 1:30:03
  I didn't like who, man. Didn't appeal to me but I
• 1:30:07
  thought I'd see what they were like.
• 1:30:08
  The Yeager I've gone for because I think he looks exceptional and
• 1:30:11
  a. PGC they did a a live stream the
• 1:30:14
  other week and they had Kevin. Sorry.
• 1:30:20
  Yeah, Kevin Delis, I think it was.
• 1:30:22
  It was one of the guys that sculpted for my action with
• 1:30:25
  customs, and he's done some work for them and he let slip
• 1:30:28
  basically they've already got werewolves lined up in the
• 1:30:30
  future because he's like, yeah, with the Yeager, we wanted to
• 1:30:33
  make use of the werewolf parts we already have.
• 1:30:34
  And you just saw everyone else's face sort of go, OK, well, there
• 1:30:38
  we go. Professional operation.
• 1:30:42
  They're ruining their games. Wave three.
• 1:30:46
  Sorry. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:47
  The weapons things, I think Wave 3, the fish guys, I think they
• 1:30:51
  are my favorite. Yeah, they might have convinced
• 1:30:56
  me. Especially the fact that the.
• 1:30:59
  I don't know if they all are, but that bluey coloured 1 looks
• 1:31:02
  like he's translucent, doesn't he?
• 1:31:04
  Yeah, that could, yeah. So these could go in a kind of a
• 1:31:08
  fishy aquatic faction I think, with your legions or your
• 1:31:11
  cosmics. Yes, I've already started
• 1:31:13
  building 1 so they will definitely go in my fishy
• 1:31:16
  aquatic faction. Combatants fight for glory.
• 1:31:20
  So we have a couple here. There is I think 4 waves of
• 1:31:25
  these have pictures of maybe three waves.
• 1:31:28
  These are the gladiator wave and so you can see already just by
• 1:31:33
  looking at them that you could definitely fit them in mythics.
• 1:31:36
  You have some of these rich what in aesthetic wise?
• 1:31:38
  I do. Aesthetic wise they're fine.
• 1:31:40
  They're not. The paint scheme isn't an exact
• 1:31:43
  match for Mythics, but it's close.
• 1:31:44
  Enough. Aren't they a bit small scale
• 1:31:47
  wise though? No, scale wise, they're actually
• 1:31:50
  about the same as mythics. So they actually work.
• 1:31:52
  They actually work really well with them.
• 1:31:53
  Yeah. In fact, they might be a little
• 1:31:55
  bit bigger actually thinking about it.
• 1:31:56
  Yeah, OK. If you want any of the three
• 1:31:58
  females on that slide previous slide though John, you are shit
• 1:32:02
  out of luck unless you wouldn't spend a lot of money.
• 1:32:04
  Yeah, I heard they were expensive.
• 1:32:06
  Very expensive. I mean I don't like the female
• 1:32:08
  ones but I guess. Well, under ordered.
• 1:32:11
  I mean, there's Madonna. There's second from the right.
• 1:32:15
  But you can still pick, I mean, the two on the end of this
• 1:32:17
  picture, they're the the basic gladiator trainee sort of
• 1:32:19
  figures. You can still pick those up for
• 1:32:21
  like 4050 quid. They're, you know, myth at
• 1:32:23
  legions esque price and then these are just so good.
• 1:32:27
  These scream Richard Jones to me when I see them.
• 1:32:30
  I got four of these that came through the other day, so the
• 1:32:32
  set of three and two of the one on the right.
• 1:32:35
  And despite copying for import duty, which I will be forever
• 1:32:38
  bitter and twisted about as I pick Genie, Aliexpress and who
• 1:32:40
  actually puts the genuine value on the shipping.
• 1:32:46
  But they're brilliant figures. Like so, so good.
• 1:32:48
  And I've got, you know, I want to have a little Roman.
• 1:32:52
  That's wave for Legion from the competence.
• 1:32:55
  Yes, Glory. So they did, they did blue robed
• 1:32:59
  Praetorians in their first wave, which are pretty good.
• 1:33:03
  Yeah, these guys which are pretty good, yeah.
• 1:33:04
  But the red ones are more, you know, more general Roman sort of
• 1:33:07
  colours, so. Yeah, yeah, they're pretty.
• 1:33:10
  I like them as well. I love the aesthetic.
• 1:33:12
  And then these guys, Casos and Pallas, so they're monitors.
• 1:33:17
  Yeah, and they're big, So and so's.
• 1:33:20
  Are they the kind of £100 price or?
• 1:33:24
  I think on Aliexpress you're looking at 8090 dollars.
• 1:33:29
  OK. So not actually too bad.
• 1:33:31
  And they're sort of myth allegiance Ogus scale.
• 1:33:33
  They're big, big fellas. And they also do, I don't know
• 1:33:36
  if you've got a picture, John, but they do a red rhino as well.
• 1:33:39
  Same scale, same body didn't. Find him, Yeah.
• 1:33:41
  Who I've got for my Fury clan. He was an exclusive one of the
• 1:33:45
  Comic Con sort of thing, I think.
• 1:33:47
  I think they missed out not making it a Red Bull and giving
• 1:33:49
  it wings. I think that would have been
• 1:33:54
  when I saw I was like they they missed a trick that would have
• 1:33:57
  been amazing. I might you.
• 1:33:58
  Do realize Malt, if they bring that out as a Comic Con
• 1:34:01
  exclusive, it means somebody from that company listens to our
• 1:34:03
  show. I'd be, I'd be ecstatic.
• 1:34:06
  I'd be like. Good, good lads.
• 1:34:08
  I need to look. At.
• 1:34:09
  British TV with the ads movie no problem.
• 1:34:14
  Very good. The Zez Ray line.
• 1:34:16
  They've also teased a big reptilian character as well, and
• 1:34:20
  a couple of other different books and that sort of stuff.
• 1:34:22
  So they're going all in on this. To look good.
• 1:34:25
  Yeah, yeah. And the figure, the figure
• 1:34:27
  quality is really good. The 1st wave, the plastic wasn't
• 1:34:31
  the best in the world but was fine.
• 1:34:32
  Whereas the the wave, since then, they've really dialled it
• 1:34:35
  in sort of thing. And the plastic's really good.
• 1:34:37
  You get some really good weapons with it, plenty of armour, the
• 1:34:40
  the with the Romans, the the armour they wear.
• 1:34:43
  Although it's all-encompassing, it's actually relatively
• 1:34:45
  flexible so you can get some decent ish poses.
• 1:34:48
  I mean, Bill Dauchler's got a good review of it, you know, and
• 1:34:51
  he shows the limitations of it, but it's more than you'd expect
• 1:34:54
  for that sort of heavy armour. OK.
• 1:34:57
  Shall we then briefly segue and we go to?
• 1:35:02
  Two things. Well, one thing very much we've
• 1:35:05
  missed, which is Defenders of Eden, Armies of Ashmore.
• 1:35:11
  Oh, was that not on my slides? No.
• 1:35:13
  No, that's that's your new John. Yeah, you did mention, which to
• 1:35:18
  be fair, John did mention earlier in when we were talking
• 1:35:21
  about this episode that you would include them.
• 1:35:24
  But yes, they we know. We've seen them in person.
• 1:35:29
  Anyone who goes to Legions con and and has seen them, they are
• 1:35:32
  perfect matches. If you don't mind them, they're
• 1:35:35
  a bit more colourful, a bit more, you know, comic book
• 1:35:39
  perhaps than mythics. But they size, scale, style fit
• 1:35:43
  perfectly, don't they? With mythics and with them,
• 1:35:48
  Ogre, they do know you do. Yeah.
• 1:35:50
  Ogre scale. Yeah, Ogre scale.
• 1:35:52
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Steve Bouchardi did a great job
• 1:35:55
  on those. Yeah.
• 1:36:02
  And then the other one that actually we don't know really
• 1:36:04
  yet, but I'm quite excited and intrigued and I might end up
• 1:36:08
  getting in on the Kickstarter is Brutal Rounds.
• 1:36:12
  That looks an intriguing 1. They're big chunky.
• 1:36:16
  I think they're 7 inch big chunky Barbarians that are like,
• 1:36:20
  you know, wide and big thick arms.
• 1:36:23
  I'm intrigued to see what they do with them for sure.
• 1:36:26
  And I've just thought of one other one as well.
• 1:36:28
  AXI Toys do the dinosaur warriors, so you've got they've
• 1:36:33
  got AT Rex, which is ogre scale and it comes with all sorts of
• 1:36:36
  bone armor and. This stuff.
• 1:36:38
  Absolutely badass looking figure.
• 1:36:40
  I need to get one but they're they're very pricey.
• 1:36:43
  And then they also do like a normal sort of 6/7 inch scale
• 1:36:46
  dinosaur as well sort of thing. Really well textured, really
• 1:36:49
  well painted. They're great figures.
• 1:36:53
  Awesome. So are we good?
• 1:36:56
  Yeah, we can move on now. Yeah, right.
• 1:37:02
  Let's move on to the state of our collections.
• 1:37:12
  So this is going to be a, for me, a disgraceful section.
• 1:37:18
  I think Rich has kind of fobbed it off with here's how it was a
• 1:37:23
  year ago when it was actually. That's how bad mine is.
• 1:37:28
  And Mal is actually got his ass in gear a couple of weeks ago
• 1:37:32
  and he's not here last. Week.
• 1:37:33
  It's how I was spending some of my time off.
• 1:37:35
  My week off. Yeah, tidy in a bit.
• 1:37:37
  So I'll start then so that you boys will look better.
• 1:37:41
  So here's right behind me. So that box on the couch in the
• 1:37:47
  middle there, that is boxes all unboxed but in a box.
• 1:37:53
  And the figures there are ones I've been testing custom heads
• 1:37:58
  on. And those boxes there are
• 1:38:02
  various stuff that I've got or that is going out and that's the
• 1:38:07
  painting tables. So we move around to the left.
• 1:38:11
  So you see a lot of viewer stuff on that painting table.
• 1:38:15
  I love it. A.
• 1:38:19
  Lot of cables on the floor and then we move, Oh no, that's the
• 1:38:23
  wrong way. Then we move to the actual
• 1:38:25
  display, which used to be beautifully done.
• 1:38:28
  You know, each shelf by faction. And I put another bunch of shelf
• 1:38:31
  there for more stuff and kind of got overtaken now by the table.
• 1:38:38
  So that needs to be tidied up. And but you know, like there's a
• 1:38:43
  pile of figures there on the the top left of the middle shelf
• 1:38:46
  there that are just lying on each other because I was looking
• 1:38:50
  for for different parts from them.
• 1:38:52
  But you see they're rich, the custom rich.
• 1:38:55
  They're in the top left sitting on the barrel in the noble bear
• 1:38:58
  shell. So it's very good in the right
• 1:39:01
  place. You see the boxes down the
• 1:39:05
  bottom shelf on the left is just, they're all just lying on
• 1:39:07
  the ground waiting for their bodies to come along that.
• 1:39:10
  Bottom shelf basically is my current display.
• 1:39:13
  They're all just lying down, put all the rises in, but I'm
• 1:39:16
  grounds actually standing the figures up and tackying them
• 1:39:18
  down, putting stands on that sort of, they're all just have a
• 1:39:21
  sleep at the moment. Yeah.
• 1:39:22
  So here's the kind of other side, some details there.
• 1:39:26
  There's Cosmics that Cosmic Wave one just decided or the Cosmic
• 1:39:30
  Wave 2 just decided to fall over.
• 1:39:32
  I think. No, that was the bad guys slog I
• 1:39:35
  have. I have these kind of separated
• 1:39:37
  more by the good guys and the bad guys for the moment.
• 1:39:42
  So Slog decided to take a tumble.
• 1:39:43
  I haven't got around to fixing him up yet.
• 1:39:46
  Takes everyone else out as he does, yeah.
• 1:39:48
  Yeah, that's all my paints on that paint shelf.
• 1:39:50
  So you see the gaps there, all the shits on the table.
• 1:39:54
  So this is at least the podcast setup looks OK there on the left
• 1:40:00
  and the chef to the right. Used to have a lot more Lego on,
• 1:40:03
  but I had to kind of shift that out and to the kids.
• 1:40:07
  And there's still some Lego on the top there that probably
• 1:40:09
  needs to go. And then custom heads rack with
• 1:40:15
  painted and unpainted heads kind of work in progress.
• 1:40:19
  Yeah. And that big colorful box there
• 1:40:22
  is what I've been airbrushing against.
• 1:40:24
  Wouldn't I be airbrushing? So yeah, professional.
• 1:40:29
  But yeah, as I say, I blame the podcast.
• 1:40:37
  The the airbrushing station for Horseman Studio isn't a lot more
• 1:40:40
  advanced than that. Good, good.
• 1:40:44
  Glad to know. So here's what we should be
• 1:40:47
  aiming for, somehow. Talk us through.
• 1:40:50
  Yeah, so that's my main bit of display.
• 1:40:53
  I haven't got a lot of space, but I've got I'm lucky enough to
• 1:40:56
  have a little spare office slash.
• 1:40:59
  I haven't been in your room. I would say your room is maybe 3
• 1:41:05
  foot by three foot smaller than mine space.
• 1:41:08
  Oh yeah, it's yeah. I mean, it's not far off 3 foot
• 1:41:11
  by three foot, is it? Let's be.
• 1:41:12
  OK, no, this is about my room is about I'd say 15 feet by 12
• 1:41:19
  maybe. Yeah, this is.
• 1:41:21
  Yeah, this very small, isn't it? Very small square room radiator
• 1:41:25
  on one wall, which unfortunately.
• 1:41:28
  Yeah, we all have the radiator problem, Yeah.
• 1:41:30
  Yeah. So this is.
• 1:41:31
  Genuine. So I was going to say I had the
• 1:41:33
  genuine conversation where I misses my with I could take the
• 1:41:35
  radiator off the wall, make more space.
• 1:41:39
  It didn't go as well as I'm hoping.
• 1:41:40
  I was hoping it would, let's put it that way.
• 1:41:42
  So we still have a radiator in the room.
• 1:41:43
  Yeah, you need the radiator, otherwise you get damp and all
• 1:41:46
  that, don't you? So and then your figures suffer.
• 1:41:48
  So, so, yeah. So this is my main bit of
• 1:41:51
  display. I've got a Billy bookcase with
• 1:41:53
  glass doors and a detail. For the size, yeah.
• 1:41:56
  Yeah, like that. This is my.
• 1:42:00
  Painting area, customizing area. This is how it should look like
• 1:42:03
  guys. You say that, but there's a pile
• 1:42:05
  of paint behind the, the, the chair that you can't see that's
• 1:42:09
  just dumped there because I couldn't be bothered to put it
• 1:42:10
  back. And this pile here is figures
• 1:42:14
  that are sort of ideas that I've started and popped, you know,
• 1:42:18
  and left for one reason or another, and bits of ideas.
• 1:42:23
  I see the cupboard boxes behind the chair that we don't get to
• 1:42:26
  see and so. Yeah, yeah, let's not point out
• 1:42:29
  the cardboard box. Look at this beautiful yeah
• 1:42:33
  exclusive display. This is how you should display
• 1:42:37
  your exclusives and then the Dark 4 as well.
• 1:42:40
  Yeah, and obviously when Necronominus comes along, you'll
• 1:42:43
  have to go underneath the box. Yeah.
• 1:42:46
  Umm the only thing the problem is my search Gerard is not
• 1:42:51
  signed so I might have to take that with me to Legions con to
• 1:42:53
  get Jeremy to sign that for me. Warrior Beast only got the one
• 1:42:59
  but I wanted to keep him in box just because the box was so
• 1:43:02
  cool. So when they eventually do it in
• 1:43:05
  the sale for him, I'll hopefully.
• 1:43:06
  Then do the regular in September.
• 1:43:09
  Who knows? I wondered if we'd do that.
• 1:43:10
  Yeah, yeah. I wondered if that's what we'd
• 1:43:12
  get. But yeah, all the rest are
• 1:43:14
  signed just. Have a little box Dimitros or
• 1:43:19
  dimestros? I do he he's just not on there
• 1:43:21
  because he wouldn't fit. But yeah, I do.
• 1:43:25
  Yeah, that. Is in Ma's bedroom.
• 1:43:28
  Yeah, you know where the magic. War, everybody is.
• 1:43:31
  The Yeah, this is my. Favorite if they like to play
• 1:43:35
  with toys. And the figure obscure is it?
• 1:43:38
  Yeah, that's it. That's it.
• 1:43:40
  And then the customs at the bottom that some of which don't
• 1:43:43
  have, most of which that are mine don't have weapons.
• 1:43:46
  So because I'm very similar from the mythic enablers, he has like
• 1:43:50
  a skeleton and another figure on his night stand.
• 1:43:53
  But this is this is how it's really done.
• 1:43:57
  Yeah, this is another detail I want to get.
• 1:44:01
  I want to get a box for the, you know, glass container kind of
• 1:44:07
  thing for the on top of there to put the two horsemen in.
• 1:44:11
  There's only one horse. Oh yeah, put the two horsemen at
• 1:44:15
  the top and that will give more space for figure.
• 1:44:17
  Retailer and the regular headless.
• 1:44:20
  Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I'm a sucker for repaint
• 1:44:23
  and this is got all behind my desks.
• 1:44:26
  Yeah. So of course we have some, we
• 1:44:28
  have to have some technology in front and lights and stuff.
• 1:44:31
  That's fine, yeah. And so there's some DC Figs.
• 1:44:35
  Yeah, I tended to not unbox the DC figures because most of them
• 1:44:40
  weren't very good for posing anyway.
• 1:44:44
  These, a couple of these were, well, the two at the bottom were
• 1:44:46
  pretty hard to get hold of, so I didn't want to get take them out
• 1:44:50
  of box. They were in the last couple of
• 1:44:51
  waves of DC multiverse, so I left them in box.
• 1:44:56
  And the same with the with the glare from the windows covering
• 1:45:00
  blinding them a bit there. But that's the DC movie Penguin
• 1:45:04
  and DC movie Joker as well. They weren't particularly easy
• 1:45:08
  to get hold of, so I kept them in Box as well.
• 1:45:12
  And then, yeah, there's sort of inbox display.
• 1:45:15
  Nice. So spider Man.
• 1:45:16
  Some classic packaged spider man.
• 1:45:19
  Yeah, well, yeah, there it was. Mainly it's just they were my
• 1:45:22
  favorite outfits along and it's the the classic sort of Spider
• 1:45:28
  Man outfit, red and blue, the black suit spider, symbiote
• 1:45:34
  spider and Spider Man 2099 that actually updated spider man 2099
• 1:45:41
  recently. And I prefer the with the
• 1:45:43
  articulation of and on the buck of the other two, which kind of
• 1:45:46
  want to get, but they did him in the box without the, you know,
• 1:45:51
  the without the plastic cover. So it kind of becomes pointless
• 1:45:55
  if you're going to keep them in box.
• 1:45:58
  Then underneath I've got the gaming spider man's.
• 1:46:01
  I loved the color on that, which again, they've also done that
• 1:46:04
  with the him and then Venom. I love Venom.
• 1:46:07
  He's my favorite, probably my favorite Marvel villain slash
• 1:46:12
  hero could. Be about the movies.
• 1:46:14
  Yeah, they, they, they, they do enough.
• 1:46:17
  They don't bring. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:46:19
  They are what they are. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:46:21
  They couldn't be off the level of some of the other ones, you
• 1:46:24
  know? When #3 comes out soon, so we'll
• 1:46:27
  see how it concludes. Yeah, it looks, that looks like
• 1:46:30
  it could be interesting. I'm quite looking forward to
• 1:46:32
  that. And then at the top, right at
• 1:46:35
  the top, I've got me Arkham Asylum because I mean, they were
• 1:46:39
  rubbish for posing, so they might as well stay in the box
• 1:46:42
  and they look. Yeah, they look good in the box,
• 1:46:44
  Yeah. Yeah, DC Multiverse, Dark Knight
• 1:46:49
  Return. Is it dark?
• 1:46:53
  Yeah, Dark Knight Returns. Figures.
• 1:46:55
  I've got them in box and out of box because why not?
• 1:47:00
  And then? Those movies?
• 1:47:03
  Yeah, yeah, a couple of McFarland figures that I just
• 1:47:07
  thought were cool, including again, the Arkham Asylum
• 1:47:10
  figures. Again, I've got them Inbox and
• 1:47:12
  Outbox. Yeah.
• 1:47:14
  Sweet. Oh, this is the.
• 1:47:17
  Overflow. Yeah, it's kind of the overflow
• 1:47:21
  that you showed us as well. Yeah, overflow slash desk
• 1:47:25
  buddies. The turtles are definitely more
• 1:47:27
  desk buddies because I get I can't help myself keep looking
• 1:47:30
  at them and playing with them. It's a bit of an overflow for
• 1:47:33
  the others though. Some Moto origins there as well.
• 1:47:36
  Yeah, there's all sorts. There's Moto origins, Turtles, a
• 1:47:39
  Gray school. Cartoon, You've obviously been
• 1:47:42
  playing with the Buster. She's lying down.
• 1:47:44
  She does not stand up those. Feet.
• 1:47:47
  As cool as they are, those feet are not the best standing.
• 1:47:51
  I have unboxed them and messed around with them but I haven't
• 1:47:55
  put them on display so I don't know that amazing.
• 1:47:59
  The once a new this is fine, it's just past it because
• 1:48:03
  they're, I think just because they're a bit smaller. 2.0 rich,
• 1:48:06
  isn't it? Yeah.
• 1:48:10
  Don't get me started. Don't get me started.
• 1:48:12
  Well, we got to get started on your room before we finish up.
• 1:48:17
  So this is I believe the new how the new display is going to look
• 1:48:21
  when you're finished. Yeah, so I've got, umm, white
• 1:48:24
  Billy bookcases. I've got four of them and
• 1:48:26
  there's one on this particular wall and then three on the wall
• 1:48:29
  next to it. My display room's tiny, it's
• 1:48:30
  only 7 1/2 foot by 8 foot and there's a radiator in there, so
• 1:48:34
  I am limited. Get an idea of?
• 1:48:36
  Yeah, space wise, but yeah, so I built myself some, right.
• 1:48:40
  Well, I extended the the shelves out.
• 1:48:44
  You can see there that the the backing board stops and the
• 1:48:47
  shelves keep coming. So I just got some sheets and
• 1:48:50
  cut those up. I then built my own risers, the
• 1:48:53
  wood wooden risers you can see there because I quite like, oh,
• 1:48:56
  I want to get as many fingers as I can in because I'm limited to
• 1:48:58
  space. But I'm not a fan.
• 1:48:59
  And I know a lot of people do it and there's nothing wrong with
• 1:49:01
  it, but I'm not a fan of having them all on the same level.
• 1:49:03
  I like to have them slightly above each other.
• 1:49:06
  Even if, you know, you can't see a lot of the figures I still
• 1:49:08
  like. I'm just that little bit raised.
• 1:49:11
  So yeah, so there's my couple of Lithia brood shelves.
• 1:49:15
  There's more on it than that now, but that's the last picture
• 1:49:17
  I took of it. And then moving on to the next
• 1:49:20
  one, John. Yeah, no problem.
• 1:49:23
  There you go. Probably the one after it's
• 1:49:25
  probably a better one actually. There we go.
• 1:49:27
  So this is this is from, well, at least a year ago, maybe a bit
• 1:49:30
  longer now actually. But again, you can see the sort
• 1:49:33
  of thing I do. So it's again, it's a white
• 1:49:36
  Billy bookcases. There's some different risers
• 1:49:38
  built in there that were a pain in the backside to to build
• 1:49:42
  because it's you try to try soaring thick like Perspex and
• 1:49:46
  it's just a nightmare. But yeah, you can see the sort
• 1:49:49
  of look I go for there. You can see how there's a lot of
• 1:49:52
  figures lying down, which is typical of my display because
• 1:49:54
  I'll move something around and then it'll topple over and then
• 1:49:56
  I'll just leave it there for a little bit.
• 1:49:58
  But that's the sort of look I go for.
• 1:50:00
  It's still cool lucky like this stuff going on, you kind of sell
• 1:50:03
  yourself short too much that they're all like, you know, kind
• 1:50:07
  of straight down arms. But no, there's a bit going on
• 1:50:09
  here. A.
• 1:50:10
  Little bit there's a there's a whole Marvel Legends Hulk on the
• 1:50:13
  bottom left there. Yeah, he's 7.
• 1:50:15
  He's he's unhappy. He's variant.
• 1:50:17
  Yeah, love it. And this big slight of nerdiness
• 1:50:23
  then to finish this off, this is the kind of utopia what you
• 1:50:26
  could do. Yeah, this.
• 1:50:28
  So this is how I, I, I plan out. I probably do more planning than
• 1:50:31
  actually displaying of my figures because I'm a
• 1:50:34
  spreadsheet nerd, but this is how I do it.
• 1:50:37
  So I'll, you know, each faction, be it original faction or one
• 1:50:42
  that I've designed, Yeah, I come up with myself.
• 1:50:44
  Got their own colours and then it goes there.
• 1:50:46
  So like the top left, for instance, I think that's order
• 1:50:48
  of Ethoron and Noble Bear sharing the shelf.
• 1:50:52
  Might swap to Noble Bears in the corner to be honest, rather than
• 1:50:55
  a bit more in the middle there. But that's by the by.
• 1:50:59
  And then next to it, there's always.
• 1:51:01
  Always having a shot. Then next to it there's the army
• 1:51:05
  Ely Odysseus and then half shelp of army Elydysseus and Legion of
• 1:51:08
  Marathi and then Legion Marathi underneath.
• 1:51:10
  So that's how I can visualise it all and I love colour coding
• 1:51:13
  stuff so that that's how I do it.
• 1:51:15
  And then I've got another more detailed sheet where it's
• 1:51:17
  actually got each and every figure and where I want them on
• 1:51:19
  that shelf. That's just stress.
• 1:51:22
  That just stresses me out, you know, because it's like now I to
• 1:51:25
  live up to. That to do that, otherwise I
• 1:51:26
  can't do it properly. So I'm in the middle of redoing
• 1:51:29
  that mega sheet at the moment, just moving a couple of things
• 1:51:32
  around, getting rid of a couple of things that are in there that
• 1:51:34
  I've decided to sell on eBay, the Jones 1234 and that sort of
• 1:51:40
  stuff. But yeah, so that's how I like
• 1:51:42
  to display. I like white rather than black
• 1:51:45
  eye details from the past, but the glass, they all blend in a
• 1:51:49
  little bit too much for me. So I quite like the the stark
• 1:51:51
  sort of white look to shelves. So and then I'm going to have
• 1:51:54
  to. As well, because you can't get
• 1:51:55
  the details anymore you. Can't, no.
• 1:51:57
  I've got three in the garage, but they probably won't be used
• 1:51:59
  again for a while. I think on eBay, yeah.
• 1:52:03
  To be fair, I think if I had more space I'd probably have
• 1:52:05
  more billies. Yeah, realistically I I agree.
• 1:52:08
  I think they are a bit better. Yeah, I think they're nice.
• 1:52:10
  They're nice, yeah. And then on the the the opposite
• 1:52:13
  wall to where those 3 billies were, I want to get a couple
• 1:52:16
  more bookcases, the radiators. Oh, it's just in the way
• 1:52:22
  something me doing exactly what I want.
• 1:52:24
  Yeah, I've been. Somebody put some shelves on the
• 1:52:27
  wall, maybe above that together a few more things.
• 1:52:30
  The Calaxes, I've been pondering them.
• 1:52:33
  You know, they're they are good caps and they're good the.
• 1:52:37
  Problem is you need lighting in the back of them because they're
• 1:52:40
  like very deep, Yeah, And if you get a couple of figures in the
• 1:52:44
  back, even if you have them on risers or something, yeah, they
• 1:52:47
  just get lost. I'm Saturday looking directly at
• 1:52:49
  one of those where you just keep all the Holly's toys in.
• 1:52:52
  But now that she's older then there's obviously a lot less in
• 1:52:54
  them. So yeah, still here though.
• 1:52:57
  I keep saying to Kerry is like, we could get a 5 foot fish tank
• 1:53:00
  in there. That's a perfect size space.
• 1:53:02
  Yeah, or you're seasonal figure obscures.
• 1:53:08
  Well, that was fun. So if you've got this far, let
• 1:53:12

  got a lot of shout out of that and there's loads of stuff there
• 1:53:49
  for you. And if you really are confused
• 1:53:51
  about some of those figures, all the pictures are over on the
• 1:53:54
  YouTube. So go check that out and after
• 1:53:57
  you've listened to it on the audio like I would.
• 1:54:02
  All right, thanks guys. Not nice.
• 1:54:05
  Not nice to say. Just my voice, so I'm done.
• 1:54:08
  Yeah, a little talk. It's.
• 1:54:10
  Just going to be complaining of a sore throat tomorrow.
• 1:54:12
  At least it won't just be my audio track.
• 1:54:14
  This scuffle of stuff on it this week.
• 1:54:17
  A big section where it's just rich talking about these shelves
• 1:54:21
  and like, oh look, I'm very quiet.
• 1:54:27
  Cheers boys. Stay safe out there everybody.
• 1:54:30
  Don't like a shelving unit fall on you?
• 1:54:36
  Or a schlep dragon. I thought you said shit dragon.
• 1:55:06
  Hopefully we don't get one of those.
