• 0:02
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:04
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:08
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant soul.
• 0:11
  And so he's got a fake hammer. Oh.
• 0:13
  A fake? Yeah.
• 0:14
  Whoa. As I say, Dick.
• 0:18
  Welcome to episode 122 of the Euronesians Podcast.
• 0:22
  And this week, we've got some big news to talk about.
• 0:26
  And mild the Silver Knight 2 is finished at the factory.
• 0:32
  That's the big news this week. I mean, that was, that's all the
• 0:34
  news I've heard this week about anyone else.
• 0:37
  I'm really excited about that. Yeah, and the book will be
• 0:43
  coming as well. Yeah.
• 0:45
  Yeah. So there you go.
• 0:47
  That's that's the topic for this week.
• 0:51
  No, now you're, you're you're a little bit of a celebrity now
• 0:53
  for for the week. Yeah.
• 0:55
  You got your 15 minutes, about 3 minutes.
• 0:57
  I added it about 3 minutes, yeah.
• 1:00
  It's all it takes. It was.
• 1:02
  It was about one minute and something at some point and then
• 1:05
  Rich told you to read Slow More. Slowly, something like that,
• 1:10
  yeah. It was a it was a team effort.
• 1:12
  It was a team effort. Yeah, it was.
• 1:14
  Yeah, Rich. Rich did his best.
• 1:16
  He just talked from the sidelines.
• 1:18
  You did the work and I did. I did the clean up.
• 1:22
  Sounds slightly better than I do anyway, so.
• 1:25
  You're welcome. You're welcome.
• 1:27
  Well, as we might have mentioned last week, Rich is not here.
• 1:31
  And we kind of knew that the wave was coming this week
• 1:36
  because we did the story a couple of weeks ago.
• 1:37
  Jeremy very kindly asked us. So that was really nice and we
• 1:40
  had to keep our mouths shut despite I asked for listener
• 1:45
  questions there a couple of weeks ago.
• 1:47
  And somebody asked what we think is going to be the next, the
• 1:49
  rest of the year for Mythics. And our solution to it was to
• 1:54
  look up what we had said before and just say that again.
• 1:57
  And it seemed to be the the clearest.
• 2:00
  And then Rich had to had to basically lie and say that he
• 2:05
  didn't think anything was coming because that's what he had said
• 2:08
  before. It's a funny 1, isn't it?
• 2:11
  Because we obviously we became aware that there was another
• 2:14
  wave coming, which was a nice surprise to us as well.
• 2:16
  That's all we knew and the story, and that's literally it.
• 2:19
  Which is good because it was still a nice surprise.
• 2:21
  Absolutely nice surprise. Spoiler.
• 2:26
  It was still a surprise last night, Yeah.
• 2:29
  We knew not that. We just knew the story and we
• 2:31
  knew the date of the wave. We knew nothing else.
• 2:33
  So it wasn't we weren't too in and but we were in a little bit
• 2:38
  but to help us tonight. Of course, you might notice them
• 2:41
  here if you're watching on YouTube or whatever or Spotify.
• 2:44
  We have the video version of Spotify as well.
• 2:46
  If you like that. We have our two more friends
• 2:49
  from the UK. So rich could only be replaced
• 2:52
  by two people this time. That would seem to be the way we
• 2:56
  have Luke Smith, also known as you might know him as Hydra
• 3:00
  collectibles on on YouTube. He has a great little channel
• 3:04
  there with a few more subscribers than us.
• 3:06
  How are you, Luke? I'm very good.
• 3:07
  Thank you for having me on. No problem, you did.
• 3:10
  You did something with the horsemen before, didn't you?
• 3:13
  Like. Yes, they they sent me some
• 3:16
  cosmic stuff to do a little review and it was really great.
• 3:19
  You know, Jeremy's a great guy and just, you know, I'm very
• 3:23
  grateful really. You know, I've done A1 with it
• 3:25
  legions video and the next thing you know, I'm in in talks with
• 3:28
  everyone and welcome to the community.
• 3:30
  And it's just been amazing ever since.
• 3:33
  It's that kind of a place, isn't it?
• 3:34
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's how that's how they
• 3:37
  get you. That's how they get you.
• 3:40
  But we had to have a Welshman on the show anyway to keep the
• 3:44
  balance, to keep the keep the karma.
• 3:45
  So we got, we got our, we got the best Welshman that we know.
• 3:49
  So we got going on. Yeah, the upgrade.
• 3:53
  Sorry, you know. He's, you know, he is a native
• 3:58
  Welsh speaker. So you know, as much as Rich
• 4:01
  will will tell us he knows a bit of Welsh and you know, he can
• 4:04
  speak Welsh, etcetera, etcetera. I mean, we actually know Guyon
• 4:07
  can because he prefers it than English.
• 4:09
  So, you know, that's a real Welsh speaker.
• 4:15
  Yeah, thanks for having me on case.
• 4:17
  No problem. Thanks for taking the time.
• 4:19
  You have a busy weekend coming up.
• 4:20
  You have you run a big festival there in your neck of the woods.
• 4:23
  Yeah. So it could be a good one.
• 4:26
  We're already all set or no, not set up yet.
• 4:29
  That's to come tomorrow. So and then the big day on
• 4:31
  Saturday. Very good.
• 4:33
  So what do you have? Live music and all that kind of
• 4:35
  stuff live. Music, some entertainments
• 4:36
  around town. We've had the week of events
• 4:38
  already, so yeah. So we've got bands playing from
• 4:43
  1:00 until 8, so then there's tidy up afterwards really, which
• 4:47
  takes us until about, Oh yeah, 11:00 at night to, to tidy
• 4:51
  everything up. So hopefully it doesn't rain.
• 4:53
  Hopefully it doesn't rain. Well, that's that's really
• 4:56
  wishful thinking in the northwest of Wales.
• 5:00
  Yeah, yeah, it's the forecast doesn't look good right now.
• 5:05
  Yeah, we're all sweltering here, and you're looking to see where
• 5:08
  your winter jacket is. Very good.
• 5:14
  Well, we're going to talk about these figs.
• 5:17
  And so we got the horror of EIN Smile.
• 5:20
  Is that right? Now you know how to pronounce it
• 5:22
  Now, Jeremy gave you a little primer before we read the story.
• 5:26
  I would have just gone straight in and read it.
• 5:28
  And then I'd have been like afterwards, Jeremy, would it?
• 5:31
  But you were smart, you said first, Jeremy, how do you
• 5:34
  pronounce it? And did he send a little video
• 5:37
  of him? How was it?
• 5:37
  Yeah, he did a. Little thing you.
• 5:39
  Know almost like one of those if you put it into gig into Google
• 5:43
  and it is somehow. Very cool.
• 5:49
  But we had some technical problems tonight, so we're using
• 5:53
  a slightly different recording method so and hopefully it's
• 5:58
  going to work out for us. Fingers crossed.
• 6:01
  So we got them up there in the screen and I thought I'd go
• 6:05
  straight in with the actual figures themselves 1st.
• 6:10
  And so you know, you've all watched the Four Horsemen
• 6:13
  stream. You know, you're not, you're not
• 6:14
  tuning into your allegiance to find out what they revealed.
• 6:17
  You know, you're, you're tuning in to see what we think and what
• 6:21
  you should think. No, So here they are.
• 6:26
  They look great. It's an adventuring party.
• 6:28
  So overall, overall thoughts first, I mean, first
• 6:31
  impressions. Zook, you happy what you see
• 6:34
  here? I'm very happy with what I see.
• 6:37
  As I mentioned just briefly before we came on there, this
• 6:40
  might actually be the first all in that I actually purchase.
• 6:44
  You know, I'm very happy with what they've got on offer here.
• 6:47
  It takes so many boxes for things that I wanted from this
• 6:49
  line. Yeah, that's awesome.
• 6:52
  And do you agree on? Yeah, we'll see if we can afford
• 6:55
  it, but definitely something I would consider all in here
• 6:58
  again, it's it takes all the boxes then and it doesn't expand
• 7:02
  so much on the world as well. Yeah, put in a bit of overtime
• 7:06
  there for this weekend. I think you'd be good to go Mal.
• 7:12
  I think it's rubbish. No, no, no.
• 7:15
  I, I, I again. Yeah, I think it's absolutely
• 7:18
  fantastic. It's, I think it's easily, it's
• 7:22
  tough, isn't it? Because every wave we're getting
• 7:24
  at the moment is a winner and it's another winner, absolute
• 7:27
  winner. It isn't it?
• 7:30
  Yeah, I love the whole concept of the adventuring party and the
• 7:34
  variety that brings. And of course, different scale
• 7:37
  bodies and agree on you've got you've got more things you can
• 7:42
  turn into dwarf like stuff. Yeah, even smaller dwarfs or
• 7:46
  for. Dwarf children.
• 7:49
  So yeah, so agree on you like the the dwarf characters
• 7:52
  obviously are the the gnomes as appealing, Is it?
• 7:56
  The appearance that they've got here, I think it's perfect.
• 7:59
  And I like, for me, they're very reminiscent of the World of
• 8:02
  Warcraft design. The big nose.
• 8:04
  It's it's I like when you hit a design, so I don't know cleanly.
• 8:10
  It's just it's an iconic look there straight away from me, an
• 8:14
  easy guy. Absolutely.
• 8:18
  OK, let's get into the fig. So this week with the guys,
• 8:20
  we're going to talk about the figures themselves.
• 8:22
  Umm next week on Rich's back we will go.
• 8:26
  We'll obviously find out what he thinks about the figures and and
• 8:29
  you know Rich will always have the odd controversial opinion or
• 8:32
  two and as is his want and we'll do a bit more than lore.
• 8:37
  So we won't read the BIOS tonight.
• 8:38
  So if you tuned in for Mal reading the BIOS, that's a week
• 8:41
  away. Sorry about that.
• 8:44
  Also, as this is very last minute turn around, you know Mal
• 8:47
  needs he's still throwing chamomile tea down his neck.
• 8:52
  After reading that story, you know he had the.
• 8:54
  Old way. Yeah, he had to go out and do it
• 8:55
  like you had to go so far north to Scotland to find the weather
• 8:59
  to record it in the swirling wings.
• 9:02
  In the snow. So we got a Burris Rigger story
• 9:10
  or no Burger story. Sorry, Butcher in the first
• 9:14
  first name. Brilliant.
• 9:16
  So this is a little this we should mention.
• 9:19
  It's a little tribute to our friend Curtis Ackerman.
• 9:23
  And so Burris is kind of some sort of variation of his name
• 9:30
  and burger story, I heard Jeremy say is kind of Nordic language
• 9:38
  for, you know, the the kind of mayor of the village or whatever
• 9:42
  the kind of you know, well, you have it on you.
• 9:45
  You had on your bio there earlier man, you tell us.
• 9:49
  I, I'd put to vote. What was it?
• 9:51
  Say no to the horror of I say no to the horror vote Burger Story
• 9:56
  2026, which unfortunately has gone with the way we're
• 10:00
  recording now. But he is.
• 10:03
  He is the the the buyer kind of tells you so that he's he's,
• 10:08
  he's in every, he is the mayor. He's named himself as mayor and
• 10:11
  he's got it. He's he's got his finger in
• 10:15
  every pie, basically in every aspect of the town, Which again,
• 10:18
  is a little bit of a tease reference to to Curtis, isn't
• 10:21
  it? There's a bit of a joke about
• 10:24
  him being on every, every show, every podcast, every.
• 10:27
  So it's a reference to that. Is it really?
• 10:30
  Yeah, true, true. And he's got a big beer cake, so
• 10:35
  he's doing well for himself. Well, he is the is the
• 10:38
  innkeeper. So this is an imp scale figure.
• 10:42
  So we'll we'll get to a couple of pictures that shows exactly
• 10:45
  what that is. But as we were saying, beyond
• 10:49
  small guys, this one has to take a few boxes for you it.
• 10:53
  Definitely does, yeah, just in the different scale it provides
• 10:57
  there. It's just, I was really taken
• 10:59
  aback when they showed the comparison.
• 11:01
  I just, it's, it just adds so much depth to the world.
• 11:05
  I think I feel personally more than the Olga scale of the, of
• 11:10
  the other larger scales, you know, the troll scale and stuff.
• 11:12
  So I know you can move it around a lot more.
• 11:15
  You can have a lot more of them. They take a lot less space.
• 11:17
  So, you know, win, win. Absolutely.
• 11:21
  Yeah. And you, Luke?
• 11:23
  Yeah, I love this sort of thing. My, my concern, I don't know if
• 11:27
  I missed it during the actual put like the actual video,
• 11:30
  because I was on my way to work while I was watching it, yeah.
• 11:34
  We're, we're all, we're all a little bit like catching bits
• 11:37
  here and there. You know, I I haven't watched
• 11:39
  the full stream either because I've see it happened overnight
• 11:41
  for us. Yeah, so I'm just not sure which
• 11:45
  which pieces are compatible. One of the things that I really
• 11:47
  like doing with my mythic legions, and it's no offense to
• 11:50
  the full horsemen at all, but I don't really follow the law or
• 11:53
  the characters I'm, I'm in currently in the process of
• 11:56
  writing my own fantasy novel. So I like making my own
• 11:59
  characters. So I I take a lot of these
• 12:02
  figures apart. I've got like 230 something
• 12:05
  figures and I take them all apart and I rebuild them the way
• 12:08
  that I want them to be and and have them on the shelf.
• 12:10
  So you. Have your characters from your
• 12:12
  novels and stuff. Yes, that's, that's the idea.
• 12:15
  You know, kind of got them all set up as inspiration, putting
• 12:17
  them all in poses and the different scenes that I want to
• 12:19
  create and write about. So it's, it's, it's great for
• 12:23
  me. You know, all these like, like
• 12:25
  you, what you mentioned about adding so much more depth to the
• 12:28
  world. You know, now I've actually got
• 12:30
  younglings or I've got other random species and characters,
• 12:34
  but I'm not too sure about which pieces are compatible.
• 12:37
  You know, I know a lot of people saying about certain heads and
• 12:40
  obviously we've got repainted heads here.
• 12:42
  So you can kind of judge it. You can kind of work out.
• 12:45
  But again, like this little guy here, would the hoofed feet go
• 12:48
  on him for example? I don't know until we we receive
• 12:52
  1. Melanie steers on that first.
• 12:58
  I did watch the reveal, but it was like 5:00 this morning
• 13:00
  because I couldn't, I woke up early.
• 13:02
  So I I think there were elements that were compatible.
• 13:07
  So I think the hands are just the normal hands.
• 13:11
  Yeah, the head is going to be a normal head, but I then think
• 13:17
  there were like the arms and the legs were possibly smaller than
• 13:22
  we have it so far of anything. Because again, like even with
• 13:25
  the the Frankenstein's monster, you know, they elongated the
• 13:29
  torso, didn't they? So there's, there's certain
• 13:31
  areas where they can take from or add to, to make different
• 13:34
  sizes. And I'm just not sure which bits
• 13:37
  they've done to create these. I feel like the skirt piece
• 13:40
  looks like it could be. Yeah, that could probably work.
• 13:44
  Yeah. Is that possibly the one that
• 13:46
  comes with the Dwarf builder set or is that?
• 13:51
  Yeah, yeah. So there are bits that are
• 13:53
  compatible, but yeah, I can't remember exactly how much and
• 13:56
  what. Yeah, great paint as usual from
• 14:00
  the Horsemen. We'll get to the Goblin head
• 14:04
  here, some beer, which is great. Pickaxe these.
• 14:11
  All the weapons are normal 1.0 weapons.
• 14:14
  Did they have said that? There's the front and back view.
• 14:18
  Yeah. I think that skirt piece has to
• 14:19
  work on normal mythics. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:28
  And I think that foot peg looks the same too, to be honest with
• 14:32
  you. Yeah.
• 14:33
  That does look like the, yeah. And that head is so good.
• 14:37
  Yeah, the paint, the little Red Nose and everything.
• 14:41
  They kind of, you know, he or he owns a bar.
• 14:44
  So, you know, love it. So this guy, he's cool.
• 14:48
  It's a great little way to get another character in here.
• 14:52
  And you know, for people, there's there's a lot of people
• 14:56
  in the goblin kind of group for for allegiance as well that love
• 15:00
  their goblins. And OK, they're not getting the
• 15:02
  main character Goblin here in this wave, but they've got
• 15:05
  they've got a blue Goblin now and I see Goblin.
• 15:08
  So that's pretty cool now, I'll admit.
• 15:12
  I've got to be honest, it's one of those heads I I think it
• 15:15
  looks cool as it is, but I probably won't use it.
• 15:17
  It's not one that I'll be rushing to use so.
• 15:23
  Yeah, it depends on many. Of us.
• 15:26
  Exactly. Yeah, but they are trying to put
• 15:28
  in value because there is, you know, there's always even with
• 15:31
  the dwarfs there's been a thing or like, oh, they're smaller
• 15:33
  figures, should they cost less? I think they've given us plenty
• 15:35
  of stuff here to, to to keep us. Yeah, yeah, I.
• 15:39
  Love, you know. Accessory, I think, yeah.
• 15:41
  And then when we talk about one of the other parts we're getting
• 15:45
  in the wave, it's such a cool, fun thing to get.
• 15:50
  Absolutely, Yeah, Yeah. So then here's the comparison.
• 15:54
  So this is a figure we get to. It's the the Viking dude.
• 15:59
  So that's the size. It really is striking how much
• 16:04
  smaller it is. For me, the great comparison was
• 16:08
  actually between the imp and the dwarf.
• 16:11
  I thought that. Was very most impressive of a
• 16:14
  bit of a blurred paper. From from their stream but.
• 16:17
  Although then when you see him there it doesn't look like there
• 16:19
  is much going to be compatible, does it?
• 16:23
  No. The head to maybe?
• 16:27
  Yeah, doesn't it? I don't Like can the feats
• 16:30
  themselves look smaller? They look a bit more shallow,
• 16:33
  don't they? Yeah.
• 16:36
  But I think he's great. Yeah.
• 16:38
  And I think that when we as we get more of these guys and we
• 16:42
  have another of the scale figure in this wave, so the parts will
• 16:47
  soon start to get into the line, you know.
• 16:49
  And this is the point maybe where you can start if there is
• 16:52
  a bit of compatibility, making even the third scale, you know,
• 16:57
  between these two sizes with your pop and swaps.
• 17:00
  You know, if you could do that, that would be the beauty, the
• 17:04
  beauty of the doll thing. And there's the the wonderful
• 17:09
  Trevor Williams with his amazing art photography, absolutely
• 17:17
  fantastic as usual. These really make the the wave.
• 17:23
  I love now that they firstly the lead with the as much as
• 17:29
  Trevor's glamour shots are amazing, they lead with the what
• 17:32
  you get with the figure. So that first picture, we had
• 17:36
  the same here with this next guy, which is the other in scale
• 17:41
  by Laura Frost fur See you straight away.
• 17:44
  See here's what If you buy this figure, here's what you get.
• 17:48
  Just to avoid that confusion. Yeah.
• 17:53
  So again. All these, so it's worth
• 17:56
  mentioning, all these are standard figures so far, these
• 17:59
  first two, and there's 5 standard figures in the wave and
• 18:03
  they're $42.00 now direct with the Horsemen, which I think will
• 18:07
  still translate to 50 retail. Yeah, potentially, yeah.
• 18:14
  So did they say anything about that?
• 18:17
  Is that because that it was 40, now it's 42?
• 18:20
  I mean, I know everything's gone up, but.
• 18:23
  No, they didn't say why. OK, it's gone up.
• 18:26
  So they did sort of say that retail it will still be that
• 18:30
  extra additional price. I mean, tariffs for one thing.
• 18:33
  I mean, if it's just $2.00, I suppose it's OK.
• 18:37
  That they've lost through having to pay tariffs for previous
• 18:41
  waves. So anyway, Mal, what do we think
• 18:45
  of this guy? I think he's great.
• 18:47
  I mean, I'm not specifically a little Fox character fan,
• 18:53
  although I think they're quite cool, but he's he's very cool.
• 18:56
  He looks awesome. I love you can see another one.
• 18:58
  I love the accessories with. You can see Jeremy's influence
• 19:01
  here in this first 2 I think. Yeah.
• 19:04
  Which is is great. You know, he's I think he's well
• 19:08
  established now with the horsemen and you know, I'm happy
• 19:11
  for him to nudge Eric sometimes in the direction that he wants
• 19:16
  him, you know, because Eric's it's like the scopes are
• 19:21
  amazing. And here's another that the
• 19:24
  head, I love the way it's kind of it's so big on the body that
• 19:29
  it almost looks like, you know, it's kind of bursting out from
• 19:32
  the armor like it's just it's just fur.
• 19:35
  Obviously this is solid plastic, but in reality that would be
• 19:39
  just fur. So of course it would be just
• 19:41
  kind of squishing it over the edge.
• 19:43
  It wouldn't be kind of neatly lined up with the armor hole,
• 19:46
  you know? So I think this is really cool.
• 19:49
  And Luca, do you like this guy as well?
• 19:51
  Yeah, this was the biggest surprise for me.
• 19:53
  So again, not to not to harken on too much about it, but the
• 19:57
  again, with the book that I'm writing, there are three little
• 20:00
  wolf like characters that they're actually foxes, but
• 20:04
  they're like the normal British foxes, you know, like the red
• 20:06
  fur and all that. That's fine, I'll change it.
• 20:08
  They can be white foxes. But straight away I straight
• 20:11
  away I know that I want at least three of these because that it
• 20:14
  ticks that box for me. I'm like this is perfect.
• 20:17
  And I, my kids even went crazy when they saw the little satchel
• 20:21
  on his back and all the frying pan and everything.
• 20:23
  They were like, Oh my God, Dad, you've got to get it, You've got
• 20:26
  to get it. And it's, yeah, if anything, 3
• 20:29
  is not enough. I'm going to need to buy more.
• 20:32
  Yeah, it's true. My kids, when I, you know, I
• 20:33
  showed them the pictures of the new wave because, you know,
• 20:37
  they're, they're old enough. They're 10 and 12 now, so they
• 20:39
  know what's going on. And they're all, they always do
• 20:43
  this thing of like, you know, they'll pick three each.
• 20:44
  That's their favorites. So they were like, yeah, yeah.
• 20:46
  So they, they both wanted this guy.
• 20:48
  Yeah. It's tricky though, because my,
• 20:50
  my, my son in particular, he's like, can I have one?
• 20:53
  And I'm like, yeah, but you're not having my one.
• 20:59
  Yeah, exactly. This is important, you know?
• 21:02
  Yeah, it's always the extras for sure, and green armor at this
• 21:07
  scale. Spots on I think the the dagger
• 21:10
  gives this the true scale for me of like Aga looks like it's the
• 21:15
  width of the figure release. So yeah it's it's a lovely piece
• 21:20
  and the armoured look just gives us that extra option doesn't it
• 21:23
  really. So I'm surprised that there's no
• 21:25
  extra feats but the other day we can always swap around going so
• 21:29
  yeah, absolutely fantastic. And as Mal said, the accessories
• 21:33
  that come with, it's just the fire that it's all perfect.
• 21:37
  It's just past that world building.
• 21:39
  Yeah, Yeah. Amazing.
• 21:41
  Definitely modern, something I have to credit Billy Beige with
• 21:45
  making me aware of from watching his little rundown of it of it
• 21:49
  all. I missed it if on the reveal,
• 21:51
  but apparently the little fire thing will sit over one of those
• 21:55
  little electric tea lights, so it'll yeah, you can.
• 21:59
  That's a good idea. Yeah.
• 22:02
  There'll be a there'll be a roaring trade in, in little tea
• 22:06
  lights. Yeah.
• 22:07
  For the next one. Selling out on Amazon?
• 22:10
  Like my wife is just out of shorts here and she's just gone.
• 22:13
  That's so clever. Yeah, so there you see what you
• 22:20
  get with it. Obviously something the other
• 22:22
  picture, it's a bit more detailed here.
• 22:23
  You see indeed what man was talking about the little hollow
• 22:26
  part on the campfire. I wonder why they've opted to
• 22:32
  have that flame removable? Do you think we'll get different
• 22:34
  colours? Oh yeah, yeah, I think, I think
• 22:37
  they do that as much as they can so that they have the
• 22:40
  flexibility. Yeah, some more magical flames
• 22:44
  sitting on them. Yeah, that's it.
• 22:46
  Yeah. This is this kind of stuff is
• 22:48
  where I, I feel like Figure Obscure has kind of opened this
• 22:53
  in mythics where there's a lot more of these type of things
• 22:56
  like the campfire, you know, with if you have the Anubis or
• 22:59
  the Frankenstein, there's loads of bits within any of the figure
• 23:04
  obscurers now. And we're starting to get that
• 23:07
  kind of stuff in mythics. Some of it's reused, but some of
• 23:10
  it like this is not. So, you know, they've found a
• 23:13
  way of kind of tuning this stuff up, you know, possibly with, you
• 23:18
  know, when they're doing new parts and they can just always
• 23:20
  still have space in this metal tool.
• 23:22
  We could do a little accessory piece like this and and use it
• 23:27
  for a few different things. So very clever.
• 23:33
  And here's a look on the left here of the Thistle torn head in
• 23:39
  white. Looks great at that scale
• 23:43
  because at the with the goblin body, the Thistle torn looks
• 23:46
  really sleek and kind of thin. But it's the same head here.
• 23:50
  And all that's different is the proportions of the body.
• 23:52
  And yeah, it looks, it looks like a kind of a chunky dude,
• 23:56
  you know, even though it's the same name.
• 23:59
  I, I said on a chat we've got with, because it was also
• 24:03
  mentioned apparently on the Off World podcast that this was sort
• 24:07
  of put in as a little bit of an, an official tribute to JSD.
• 24:12
  Yeah, isn't it? So which is, yeah, that's cool.
• 24:17
  And yeah, I said on the chat that we've got with those guys
• 24:21
  that it works for me because I've had plans to repaint one of
• 24:25
  the Thistlethorn head sculpts white and add it, put it
• 24:30
  alongside the custom Santa, and then make it as Santa's Little
• 24:33
  Helper. So now with this scale and that
• 24:37
  head, and I'll probably use the other body with that head and
• 24:40
  the feet, and I've got easy quicks when we get them, Santa's
• 24:44
  Little Helper. I wonder if that neck piece
• 24:48
  works on the Thistle thorn head as well and how that looks.
• 24:52
  Yeah, yeah, It'd be interesting to see it and look at the tail.
• 24:56
  I mean, come on, How? How cute is that?
• 24:59
  What I like about that back, like the the shots from the back
• 25:02
  as well, is how the soft cuts, it looks like chainmail from
• 25:06
  back. Yeah.
• 25:07
  And I've I've wanted chainmail soft cuts kind of things for
• 25:10
  ages ages and it's not the right scale, but I'll take it.
• 25:17
  It it, it's an indication for the future, you know?
• 25:21
  Yeah. So he's great.
• 25:23
  And there's the beautiful Trevor Williams shot so good.
• 25:31
  He's got the tea light out there, doesn't he?
• 25:33
  Or some sort of a like Trevor, as he's a photographer, he has
• 25:37
  all sorts of LEDs. I still want to Malice still
• 25:40
  want to get that thing Trevor has for doing the smoke.
• 25:44
  Remember he showed us, yeah, when we were doing the G Con.
• 25:48
  No, not the G Con intern thing. Last year we went to Trevor's
• 25:52
  photo demo and he had this little smoke machine thing is
• 25:55
  like almost like a vape thing. But it was you didn't suck in it
• 25:59
  like a vape. You just press the button and
• 26:00
  the smoke came out of it and it just he had the scale, you know
• 26:05
  this it was like the Silver Night 2 skeleton picture, you
• 26:09
  know that one, but it was just for two skeletons.
• 26:11
  Same, same dial and he was showing us any kind of blasts in
• 26:15
  this smoke and it all goes kind of down onto the ground and then
• 26:18
  kind of goes around and up and just amazing.
• 26:21
  And he said, yeah, he just this is a little gadget costs.
• 26:24
  I don't know if it costs $100 or something, which, you know, you
• 26:27
  have to have A use for it if you're buying it for that, but
• 26:30
  so cool. Yeah.
• 26:34
  So moving on to the big fella, Garmir.
• 26:40
  So werewolf, I think Rich. Rich was shouting from the
• 26:44
  rooftops for this man. He.
• 26:46
  Was it's been calling for a werewolf for a very long time.
• 26:52
  And we get one in ogre scale. So that was interesting.
• 26:56
  We were all maybe predicting they were going to do it on the
• 27:01
  Book of the Wind, Dodgy the Cackler, but they've gone
• 27:06
  further here to make him even scarier because he is the
• 27:09
  monster of this wave. So he's an ogre scale.
• 27:14
  And what do we think of this guy's Luke?
• 27:17
  Yeah, another great one, like knocking it out the park.
• 27:20
  I would like to have seen something that could go down
• 27:22
  onto all fours as well. And I'm not sure how that would
• 27:26
  quite work with the, the armoured pieces that you're kind
• 27:28
  of forced to keep. But yeah, I mean, he looks great
• 27:33
  as is, you know, the fact that he's got all the chains that
• 27:36
  he's, he's clearly escaped from somewhere.
• 27:38
  Like it's a great, great piece. You know, I was very surprised
• 27:41
  by how big he was. I was not expecting ogre scale.
• 27:45
  I thought maybe brute scale, maybe just regular, you know, I
• 27:48
  was not expecting such a a behemoth.
• 27:51
  But I'm glad he's in there. But I'm, I'm not going to shy
• 27:55
  away from it. It's a great figure.
• 27:56
  Yeah, it is. Yeah, Gwion.
• 27:59
  It turns out that The Nameless Horror hasn't as a name then,
• 28:02
  doesn't it? Yeah, Fantastic piece of like.
• 28:07
  Put something in the box you know.
• 28:08
  Yeah, wouldn't work well otherwise, but I like the kind
• 28:12
  of vampire eskama that he's got going on, the belts buckle and
• 28:17
  all of it. As Luke said, it looks like he's
• 28:19
  escaped from someone, and I know the bio alludes to that as well,
• 28:23
  but oh man, he's the centrepiece for a reason, isn't he?
• 28:28
  And I love the Obsidian sword as well.
• 28:30
  Yeah, sword is fantastic. Yeah, I I was putting this,
• 28:35
  these few pictures together earlier this evening and I did
• 28:38
  text to Richard Mal and go. I just realized it's a vampire
• 28:42
  and the belt fuck up, you know, because it's been such a short
• 28:46
  time and obviously I've not watched the whole stream.
• 28:49
  You don't get the, you know, every single detail.
• 28:52
  And so you're looking at the pictures and yeah, you see the
• 28:55
  you see the vampire. I'm looking at, you know, I'm
• 28:57
  always looking at the paint job, you know, that's so I'm looking
• 29:00
  at all the shading on the head and everything.
• 29:03
  It's amazing. And then, yeah, you don't
• 29:05
  realize it's is, it is. It's obviously a new sculpted
• 29:09
  piece, but it looks like Vargo most.
• 29:12
  It does. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:15
  One of the things oh, sorry. I.
• 29:17
  Was just going to say, one of the things that my kids kind of
• 29:21
  scarily warned me about was Daddy what you're going to do
• 29:24
  when that one falls off the shelf because it would just take
• 29:29
  out everything that's beneath it.
• 29:31
  Which is kind of its MO anyway. It is, yeah.
• 29:35
  Yeah, maybe. Maybe use a figure stand with
• 29:37
  this one, then you know. Yeah, I think so.
• 29:40
  Yeah, or some people do this where they put a little bit of
• 29:43
  fishing line across their shelf and you can't see it really
• 29:48
  unless you're really close. And so then when the figures
• 29:51
  take a dive, they just kind of fall into the the wire and
• 29:54
  that's that holds it up. Little tip for you there.
• 29:58
  Yes. So this, yeah, this this sword
• 30:04
  is amazing. You're right.
• 30:06
  It almost has this translucent vibe now.
• 30:09
  Yeah, it's it's, it's meant to look like Obsidian.
• 30:13
  It's got Obsidian blade. Did you, did you hear the sort
• 30:17
  of the story behind that? That was originally designed by
• 30:21
  Nate Barch to go with the Noble Barch set.
• 30:25
  Ah. And they decided.
• 30:26
  To include it there, certainly. Right, So that often happens
• 30:31
  though, what's what, you know that they obviously they're
• 30:35
  creative people, so they have a lot of ideas and obviously they
• 30:38
  have to cut things out because of costs and and you know,
• 30:41
  getting the figure into the cost bracket.
• 30:44
  But they they always find a way eventually of getting stuff out
• 30:47
  of it's cool enough. And suppose this is another
• 30:51
  example here and as painter agree on this wolf head, I mean
• 30:58
  fantastic. It's incredible, wasn't it?
• 31:00
  It's just even the hands, the 3rd on the hands, and it's just
• 31:04
  little things like that where there's just so much detail
• 31:07
  there. And like you said, the shading
• 31:09
  on the face at all of it's it. Yeah.
• 31:11
  Wow, wow. Yeah, I don't.
• 31:15
  They might have said on the stream who, who painted who.
• 31:18
  They don't always. But yeah, fantastic job here for
• 31:24
  horsemen and their painters. Then you get a little look of
• 31:30
  kind of, I don't know how much of A prototype this is, whether
• 31:35
  I'm sure it's just resin. So you can't really do too much
• 31:41
  with the pose wise. So Trevor got it in a little bit
• 31:43
  of a kind of a snarling pose there.
• 31:45
  I'm sure you can do even better with the production fees.
• 31:48
  Not that this is bad or anything.
• 31:51
  And then you get a look at the back.
• 31:52
  I love the the kind of hunch that the shoulders have when you
• 31:56
  can see it from the back of the figure.
• 31:59
  That's just fantastic. It really gives a impression
• 32:04
  like a werewolf, you know? Even at this get I know that you
• 32:07
  and Rich were open for a skinnier body, maybe mouth.
• 32:11
  I'm hoping for is possibly exact or kind of in my head I just
• 32:16
  assumed it would be them Windaji, the calcular body
• 32:18
  because that looked so much like a werewolf.
• 32:22
  And I think to be honest, the way they've described this as
• 32:25
  the Fen. What is it Fenrir kin and
• 32:30
  they've left themselves open to be able to do different types of
• 32:33
  werewolf. I think they haven't they so,
• 32:36
  But yeah, he looks, he looks fantastic, doesn't he?
• 32:39
  I do like that of the ogre scale bodies, I think this is the best
• 32:44
  one because when we sort out on Laodiceas, which is the one it
• 32:52
  is, or at least a chunk of it is, it's just fantastic, isn't
• 32:59
  it? Really great, yeah.
• 33:01
  And. It's actually, I think As for
• 33:04
  for a horseman figure, it's, it's quite horrific is not the
• 33:10
  word really meaning, but horror, you know, there's a very, very
• 33:14
  big horror element, especially with that like muzzle that he's
• 33:18
  got. And the picture Trevor's taken
• 33:20
  with that muzzle on, it's pretty, yeah.
• 33:25
  It's it's a great use of those shackle pieces as well.
• 33:28
  Yeah. Like we come in coming
• 33:29
  originally, I think from that cosmic figure, right?
• 33:32
  The that's it. Crag now.
• 33:34
  Crag now, yeah. The armor looks like he's it's
• 33:37
  meant to contain him and if he were to transform it's to punish
• 33:42
  him for that. You got the the jagged spikes
• 33:45
  that are almost pointing in. Like for me, it's there to stop
• 33:49
  him from transforming rather than protecting him after he's
• 33:53
  done so. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:56
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like and I love this blue.
• 34:01
  I have AI have a paint that's called Pains Grey and it's this
• 34:05
  type of blue and it's my favorite paint to use for
• 34:09
  something. Don't always have a, you know,
• 34:11
  you can't paint everything that color, but I love it like I did
• 34:16
  costume last year and So what I paint the armor and I was just
• 34:19
  like I love this paint. I'm going to do this paint then
• 34:22
  just do a little few armor like silver chips on it.
• 34:26
  So you show that it is still metal underneath and it works
• 34:29
  great. And obviously the horsemen have
• 34:31
  done awesome job here. It works so well with actual the
• 34:36
  grey of the wolf. You know, and another sort of
• 34:39
  unusual aspect that you don't see in legions sculpts and
• 34:45
  designs very often, it's the arm has got battle damage on, which
• 34:50
  is again just adds to the figure.
• 34:55
  It doesn't it kind of I suppose he could reuse it, but it makes
• 34:58
  it less reusable. And pauldrons here also, they've
• 35:03
  really upped their game on the pauldrons the last couple of
• 35:06
  waves. You know, the the last ones we
• 35:09
  got in hand with Nick Anonymous and All Star 6, some of the
• 35:12
  pauldrons, they're very horny. And you get the kind of other
• 35:16
  side of it here with the kind of evil character.
• 35:19
  But does he make a? Does he make a good big bad for
• 35:22
  this story, Luke? Absolutely.
• 35:25
  Yeah, yeah. And Grion, would this be
• 35:29
  something that would find its way to your shelves normally if
• 35:32
  you could probably get it? Yeah, yeah.
• 35:34
  So yeah, yeah, yeah. Awesome.
• 35:39
  And there you go, Trevor. Just so much atmosphere in that
• 35:43
  photo. Yeah, I love it.
• 35:48
  OK, on to a Viking or Viking like for sure.
• 35:54
  Halvard Frothvar. This was the first figure that
• 35:58
  they revealed and he's he's just a cool 1.0 figure, isn't he?
• 36:07
  You know, he's my type of figure.
• 36:09
  You know, if I was to get a figure, I just love this type of
• 36:13
  guy. You know, if you think of, I
• 36:16
  mean, Duban looks a bit plain now when you see him because of
• 36:20
  all he does. But like, I love Duban.
• 36:22
  I love that type of a figure. And this is just another up that
• 36:26
  UPS the game even more. I mean, the face govt is
• 36:31
  incredible. You know, if you've watched any
• 36:34
  of these Vikings shows on, you know, Netflix now that they have
• 36:37
  or anything, you know, he's one of those guys, isn't he?
• 36:41
  Gwen strikes me. This would be also your type.
• 36:44
  It definitely is. I like the the minimalist look
• 36:49
  to it, the almost historically accurate look, the little kind
• 36:54
  of pin on the on the cloak means all of it.
• 36:57
  You know what I mean? I think having those less
• 37:02
  armoured characters, for me, it's just, I love it.
• 37:05
  Like you mentioned Duban and stuff, but he's still likely
• 37:08
  armoured even if you know what I mean, if anything.
• 37:11
  But yeah, the helmets with the chainmail down the face, all of
• 37:14
  this, it's just, yeah, there's so much potential to this one
• 37:18
  figure alone, all the parts that it comes with.
• 37:20
  Just. You can.
• 37:22
  Yeah. I love it.
• 37:23
  I'd love it. Now I got.
• 37:25
  Yeah, you know I have to. Wait, you're, you're doing, you
• 37:27
  know, you're doing your bunch of customs that you've been doing
• 37:30
  over the past while. And I think this guy would would
• 37:33
  provide. It would solve a lot of problems
• 37:35
  for you. He would, He would for sure.
• 37:38
  Plus you'd have to have one on the shelf because I think he is,
• 37:41
  he's he's that good of a figure. Yeah.
• 37:43
  And Luke is the. Is there characters like this in
• 37:45
  your? In your?
• 37:47
  Very much so, yeah. So again, that's that's the
• 37:50
  beauty of like writing this sort of thing, is that the world is a
• 37:53
  very big place, much like mythos itself.
• 37:56
  You know, you can just keep going with it.
• 37:58
  And the minute I saw this, you know, like you said, this was
• 38:00
  the first figure that they showed.
• 38:02
  And straight away, I knew we were on to a winner.
• 38:04
  I knew that this wave was going to be incredible because those
• 38:07
  soft goods, that Cape it like, it just ticks so many boxes.
• 38:10
  I can't believe this is just a standard figure.
• 38:13
  Like, it blows my mind. Yeah.
• 38:16
  And he's kind of got, I don't know if any of you are into your
• 38:18
  Masters of the Universe, but he's got that like kind of man
• 38:20
  at arms, Duncan, look to him particularly, particularly from
• 38:23
  the front there. Obviously he's got the ponytail
• 38:25
  at the back, so not so much. But yeah, 2000 X Duncan, yeah,
• 38:30
  he's got the ponytail thing, so yeah, yeah, he's got the horn as
• 38:35
  well. Did that come with the Dwarf 2
• 38:37
  pack as anyone remember? Yeah, that's the one in there.
• 38:40
  Yeah. So probably a repaint of that.
• 38:42
  Love the shield as well. I mean just classic Viking
• 38:45
  looking shield. You know there's all bits to
• 38:48
  get. Talking of the shield, we should
• 38:49
  mention the new adapter that they've created for it where so
• 38:55
  you can have it mounted more on the forearm.
• 38:59
  So the normal shield handle plugs into one of those smaller
• 39:04
  sockets at the front. So you can have it just weigh
• 39:07
  whichever side you want it and then you he holds it like he
• 39:11
  would and it sits against his arm, you know?
• 39:14
  OK. Yeah.
• 39:15
  So. Presumably that X that accessory
• 39:20
  could be used on other Shields, right?
• 39:23
  Or Or is it only for these Shields?
• 39:25
  No, it can be used on all but the turtle shell shield because
• 39:28
  of the way it's constructed. He gives it, makes it sit
• 39:36
  further back on their arm rather than like in hand as most of
• 39:39
  them do now. So here's the the two main looks
• 39:43
  you get. So as you see, it's just a
• 39:46
  different head really there and figure without the cloak as
• 39:50
  well. They're in the right side with
• 39:52
  the chain mask. I like when they do stuff like
• 39:55
  this because I like kind of having trios.
• 39:57
  I like having like the hero in the centre and then these two
• 40:00
  like lackeys kind of behind him. And this is like the perfect
• 40:02
  sort of army building. Yeah, yeah, type set up.
• 40:06
  And it's great for them as well, you know, because then they
• 40:08
  automatically sell three to us, to the suckers like us, you
• 40:12
  know, with the that like to do that little display.
• 40:16
  Yeah. And the boots here are
• 40:18
  fantastic. Just so, so much character just
• 40:21
  to them, you know, with the paint and everything.
• 40:25
  I love the fact we're getting those sort of barbarian style
• 40:28
  boots. Yeah, they're my, you know, to
• 40:31
  me, they're, they're fantasy there.
• 40:34
  Yeah. You mentioned.
• 40:37
  Reading stuff where people in my head were wearing those boots.
• 40:43
  You you mentioned Deban earlier. I'm wondering if that cloak is a
• 40:46
  similar colour match to the hooded head.
• 40:49
  The wondering if that cloak could work with that head.
• 40:51
  That could possibly, yeah, yeah. Wouldn't put it past them.
• 40:55
  Because again, much like yourself, Deban is one of my
• 40:57
  favourites. Like I would love an unhooded.
• 41:01
  Yeah. Sculpt of it.
• 41:02
  I've had a few people telling me that Magnus is very similar, but
• 41:05
  when even when I hold them up I don't quite see it.
• 41:07
  It's not, not quite, no. I find Duban is more square
• 41:12
  beard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:16
  Beautiful shot here again from Trevor.
• 41:17
  I mean, never get bored of saying that.
• 41:20
  Could be from, you know, very high quality video game or you
• 41:24
  know, even a movie for to stretch it that far.
• 41:28
  But look at that, just so much atmosphere.
• 41:33
  And then we got female figures. So there's lots of people that
• 41:37
  are always looking for cool female figures in the line,
• 41:43
  which I understand. And I get the impression that
• 41:47
  they don't sell as well. So that's why they get kind of
• 41:50
  sprinkled more through the line. But this one looks like a banger
• 41:54
  to me, to be honest. Looks looks great kind of up
• 41:59
  there with the Knights on on the Necronominus wave.
• 42:03
  So this is a commander a grain and she's from the order of
• 42:09
  ether on. So this is one of the only
• 42:13
  characters in this wave that actually is from a faction that
• 42:17
  we know of already. A lot of them are kind of from
• 42:20
  this northern crew and. We should have said that Alvard
• 42:27
  was from the House of the Noble Bear.
• 42:29
  Yeah, too. Yeah, exactly.
• 42:31
  Many. Yeah.
• 42:34
  Yeah. So I'm sure under the soft goods
• 42:37
  he has bare torso. Say it, say it.
• 42:44
  Say it. So Jeremy, say it.
• 42:45
  So, so female, female Knights. Now what do we think here?
• 42:52
  So us, I mean, I think she's fantastic, just I think she's
• 42:57
  going to be 1. Of the and you female head
• 42:59
  sculpt as well not using the trace head again.
• 43:02
  So well done, horsemen. It's interesting because I saw
• 43:05
  someone comment that she had an anime vibe, and when I saw her,
• 43:09
  the first thing that came to mind was a lot of the customs we
• 43:13
  see coming out of. Is it Thailand?
• 43:17
  Oh yeah, those guys. Yeah, yeah.
• 43:19
  You know, you will often see the the just something to do with
• 43:23
  the colours and the way they'd put the soft goods together.
• 43:26
  And you know that the head and she's got, she's almost got a
• 43:32
  bit of an anime style head. Not quite.
• 43:36
  It's a bit more serious, for want of a better word than that,
• 43:40
  but there's vibes off it. I think she's fantastic.
• 43:45
  Yeah, see it a bit maybe, but what guys?
• 43:49
  Luca, you into the females. I'm very much into the females.
• 43:57
  No, this is this is a beautiful figure.
• 43:59
  That additional head sculpt. I'm wondering that's not on like
• 44:02
  the plate system, is it? That's more like the lady.
• 44:05
  What? What was the?
• 44:06
  Yeah, Lady Averona. Averona that's more like that
• 44:10
  sort of head sculpt, right? The way it's that's actually
• 44:12
  built into there. I think so, yeah.
• 44:14
  I don't remember them saying anything about it being a plate.
• 44:17
  Yeah, and the accessories are amazing.
• 44:19
  I had a torch is brilliant. Like I love the idea of if we
• 44:22
  could get a pack of those just just so you can give them to
• 44:25
  other characters. Yeah, so that that did, I
• 44:31
  remember that coming with the Dwarf 2 packs.
• 44:33
  So we get it again here. But as you say, the more the
• 44:36
  merrier. Another option to get that and
• 44:39
  not in a 2 pack. So it's pretty cool GUI on fan
• 44:44
  of this one. Yeah, I am.
• 44:45
  I think like like Miles said, the face for me, it's not a bad
• 44:49
  face. It's all just throws me a bit in
• 44:50
  the style and feels. It doesn't feel like a very
• 44:53
  Legion style or traditional Legion style face sculpt.
• 44:57
  Reminds me a lot of Attila, the battle Angel look.
• 45:00
  Kind of the larger eyes but the body probably.
• 45:05
  I'd say the best of the the whole wave to be honest.
• 45:09
  Right. And Zeus of parts, all of it.
• 45:11
  I just think it's fantastic and I absolutely love the sword that
• 45:15
  she comes with. Yeah.
• 45:20
  It's yeah, fantastic piece and a real army builder as well I
• 45:25
  think. Yeah, you could do.
• 45:29
  You could do the helmet down, Pfizer down, yeah.
• 45:33
  Well, again, like even with those head packs that we're
• 45:35
  getting from the cosmic stuff, you know those those female head
• 45:38
  packs though, Oh yeah, on this body.
• 45:41
  Oh, good shout. Yeah.
• 45:44
  Oh, my dear. It's it's could be a problem.
• 45:49
  Yeah, so bunch of her be great and leather boots.
• 45:53
  I love that. I mean, which makes sense.
• 45:56
  You're up the north in the snow. You're not going to be gone with
• 46:01
  your with your armoured boots. So pauldrons here in U2, Great
• 46:07
  to see the female figures get get those sort of parts upgraded
• 46:12
  and the torsos new male. It's umm, she's basically got
• 46:15
  the same builders thingy. Cinderhorn.
• 46:19
  Oh yes, Manisha. Manisha Cinderhorn.
• 46:23
  But then with a lot of extra cloth goods.
• 46:26
  Yeah. Slightly different waist piece
• 46:28
  and yeah, yeah, but she looks fantastic.
• 46:33
  Awesome. And oh, that's cheeky there with
• 46:37
  a little flame, a shadow on the sword.
• 46:40
  That looks great, doesn't it? Now folks, the sword is not
• 46:46
  painted like that. So, you know, don't be sad.
• 46:49
  That's just photography and reflections.
• 46:52
  You know, the same way if you look at the light reflecting on
• 46:56
  her face, that's not how it's painted.
• 46:58
  So. But yeah, she looks great.
• 47:01
  I mean, that's such a good photograph.
• 47:03
  When you see that kind of stuff, you know, in your dreams you'd
• 47:08
  be doing photos like that. And then I'm not the only one.
• 47:12
  But I did reckon we might get a reuse of the bear.
• 47:14
  And we did. Paula Beer is Bjorn.
• 47:20
  And so interesting thing here is there is a new head.
• 47:26
  So this is the this head is new and otherwise it's about our
• 47:31
  belt, but it's cool. Why not get reuse of that bear?
• 47:37
  Makes sense. Probably the only type of wave
• 47:39
  you're going to get a polar bear in if you seem there.
• 47:41
  The long neck kind of works with the polar bear.
• 47:45
  And so would you buy this if it wasn't in the Orlean Mile?
• 47:52
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I I definitely would as
• 47:57
  well. I think you actually prefer that
• 47:59
  head sculpt to the one that comes on Bod far.
• 48:02
  As much I love Bod Var and you know the role he plays in the
• 48:05
  world. I think you quite like the polar
• 48:07
  bear heads. Quite like I think I really like
• 48:11
  and prefer the polar bear head sculpt.
• 48:13
  Right, well, you put the scream, put the screaming head sculpt on
• 48:16
  bod var then and you're, you're funny and, and boys, were you
• 48:21
  were you excited to see this? Yeah, yeah, I've got bought 5,
• 48:26
  went for the all in on the rising sun's wave.
• 48:29
  So I'm not going to say no to another bed.
• 48:32
  I'm just looking now at the head.
• 48:34
  Would the Garmir head work on that?
• 48:37
  The joint? No, I don't.
• 48:39
  Know I don't. Think so maybe.
• 48:41
  Maybe if it's done like Kragner, possibly, yeah.
• 48:47
  And it'll be an overweight werewolf on all fours, but you
• 48:50
  know. I've seen weirder customs, let's
• 48:54
  be honest. So yeah, it is nice.
• 48:59
  It's nice to have that extra option, like said the new head.
• 49:01
  It's it's nice. And look, I assume the kids were
• 49:05
  all over this one. No, it's mostly me.
• 49:08
  Yeah. So I've, I've dabbled with
• 49:11
  Mythic legions for a long while, buying like the odd figure here
• 49:14
  or there, but I really went all in the minute that I saw Bodva
• 49:20
  the bear. Like I, I just, I love bears.
• 49:22
  I think they're amazing creatures.
• 49:24
  And for anyone with eagle eyes, you can probably see a polar
• 49:27
  bear above my head right there. Right.
• 49:29
  I did see it, yeah. So the minute that this was
• 49:32
  announced, you know, I had my suspicions also.
• 49:34
  I was like, this is the perfect time to do that repaint.
• 49:37
  I'm so glad that I did hold off because I was actually looking
• 49:40
  to get a second Bodva just so that I could repaint it.
• 49:43
  Yeah, So I'm glad I held off because I'd rather have the work
• 49:46
  of the Horsemen. But yeah, absolutely amazing.
• 49:50
  You know, I'm a big fan of the Philip Pullman books, these dark
• 49:54
  materials and all that lot and you know, the armoured bear and
• 49:58
  everything. I've just always loved polar
• 49:59
  bears. So this is a must have for me.
• 50:02
  This is like probably the biggest selling point of me
• 50:05
  buying the all in. Awesome.
• 50:08
  Love to hear that. Yeah, so I love him.
• 50:13
  It's probably 1 and done for me with him, but yeah, still happy
• 50:18
  to get him. Here's a little picture where
• 50:21
  you see the difference between him and Podvar.
• 50:24
  So it is the head and. It does make a big difference
• 50:28
  though. When you're looking there side
• 50:30
  by side, it doesn't make a big difference, yeah.
• 50:34
  It's like it's such a slightly. Smaller, doesn't it?
• 50:36
  So neck looks a bit longer and yeah, yeah, it's posed, but.
• 50:41
  And at any point they could do other heads that you could end
• 50:44
  up with an owl bear at some point.
• 50:45
  Like they could just create something that just goes along
• 50:48
  with this, much like the cosmic head pack, and you just go bam,
• 50:51
  there's there's another creature for your collection.
• 50:54
  Yeah, that's cool, isn't it? And even the paint job makes a
• 50:58
  difference for the saddle. You know, you're you're having
• 51:01
  to look quite hard there to see if they're the same, You know,
• 51:05
  OK, the overall shapes the same, but you're I'm looking at the
• 51:07
  details here and you're like, oh, it is the same, but it still
• 51:12
  looks quite different. And as you see with this, the
• 51:14
  way I've lined up this picture, I initially landed up
• 51:17
  differently and it didn't look quite right.
• 51:19
  So I don't know if you can guess which way it lined up
• 51:22
  originally. Maybe on the same level.
• 51:25
  Yeah, this is the attention to detail we paid to hear the
• 51:33
  Allegiance podcast. You know, I didn't want to know.
• 51:37
  It was most likely if the rich was on, he was going to make
• 51:39
  that joke. So let's be honest.
• 51:42
  Although I wouldn't put a pass to you man as well so.
• 51:47
  Scandalous. As if I would do a thing like
• 51:49
  that. As if you bring the tone down.
• 51:52
  Yeah, maybe. Never.
• 51:55
  So they are throwing in the budwear screaming head with him.
• 51:59
  Why not, you know, don't have to use it, but great to have an
• 52:03
  option. And I think this head does look
• 52:07
  just a little bit thinner anyway because of the open mouth.
• 52:09
  So could work. I'll definitely give it a try.
• 52:14
  But I think in a battle scene, you know, especially if you're
• 52:18
  setting up to take a picture, it's going to look great.
• 52:20
  You know, with the bear on the on the two legs, the hind legs
• 52:24
  go up, right. So we're giving a big thumbs up
• 52:28
  to the bear to is Bjorn there he is.
• 52:31
  Look at there. That's an interesting pose.
• 52:36
  It is, yeah. You could put that to some sort
• 52:40
  of weird 90s dance music and. It looks like he's asking for.
• 52:46
  The vibe, yeah, but he doesn't want to hurt you so he's going
• 52:52
  to curl his claws back in a little bit but yeah, fantastic.
• 52:57
  And here he is another in an environment shot.
• 53:02
  Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And he has to carry around one
• 53:11
  of the other guys and it's this guy the Jackal.
• 53:15
  I have iron bones so initially I'm looking at the pictures just
• 53:21
  this morning without going through the the whole stream, I
• 53:26
  I thought this guy was a fruit scale but he's not.
• 53:30
  He's based on the 3.0 build system.
• 53:35
  So he's basically a 1.0 from the from the waist down and from the
• 53:41
  waist up he's this new 3.0 body. Which means that the torso is
• 53:45
  new because the 3.0 body is on the wind dodgy the calculator.
• 53:50
  So the torso, the upper arms are new.
• 53:53
  So they've got the butterfly joints, all that kind of stuff.
• 53:56
  And see you see here on this picture here on the right, the
• 54:00
  bear, the bear picture, you see the butterfly joints here.
• 54:07
  And you see the kind of extra articulation he has lots of
• 54:11
  stuffs. Coming to Dell.
• 54:12
  Values and also he has this cut here in the middle of the torso.
• 54:15
  So that's that's going to be nice to have.
• 54:23
  But here's all the stuff you get.
• 54:24
  You get some great bone weapons here.
• 54:28
  Always love to see them. And which matches with the
• 54:30
  pauldrons, these pauldrons reuse from Turnogma or that's it.
• 54:35
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 54:37
  Great. So an orc, Luke, you into the
• 54:40
  orcs? So this is the only one that I
• 54:44
  wasn't over the moon with. Like, it's not a bad figure at
• 54:48
  all. But out of all of them, it was
• 54:49
  the only one that was kind of like, OK, maybe like, I can see
• 54:54
  me stripping it down for parts and possibly repainting the body
• 54:58
  to a different colour. But it's not to say that it's a
• 55:01
  bad figure. It's just given what we have
• 55:03
  been shown and what we've already have in this wave, it's,
• 55:07
  it's my least favorite. Something's got to be in last
• 55:09
  place. Yeah, I too like you.
• 55:12
  When I first saw it, I thought it was much bigger.
• 55:14
  I thought this was ogre scale. I thought this was going to be.
• 55:17
  A. Giant of a figure and then when
• 55:19
  they said oh, he rides the bear, I was like, oh, OK, maybe not
• 55:24
  but yeah, it's a fine enough figure.
• 55:26
  It's just out of all of them, this one's not really my cup of
• 55:29
  tea. I.
• 55:32
  Think that's fair? I only briefly was on the cabal
• 55:35
  today. I could kind of see that people
• 55:38
  were least enthused about this one, Which is I can understand
• 55:43
  it, but another level, I think a couple of years ago we'd have
• 55:46
  been all over this. You know, I think it's, it's
• 55:48
  just a little bit of the line is gone.
• 55:51
  You know, I still think he's great.
• 55:53
  I love that head scope that he comes with.
• 55:56
  You can see it a bit better here when with the this kind of more
• 56:01
  closer picture of it and it really is kind of mental opinion
• 56:06
  and those horns so that the second head is the kind of
• 56:11
  standard arc in helmet head. But when you plug in those
• 56:17
  helmet attachments to it makes a big difference.
• 56:20
  You can see here this. I mean to be fair as well, you
• 56:23
  know, like I say, I'm going to go for an all in regardless and
• 56:27
  when I bought the Necronominus wave, you know yeah, so older IK
• 56:33
  I thought I would have no interest in but here he is now
• 56:36
  and I've I've bought three of them.
• 56:37
  I think it's amazing, especially with a quick, you know, pop and
• 56:42
  swap of a different head. He, he just looks fantastic.
• 56:46
  So yeah, yeah, I, I can't wait to be surprised in a, in a
• 56:50
  couple of years time when we actually receive it.
• 56:52
  And it could end up being I could be eating my own words and
• 56:56
  it could be one of my favourites.
• 56:58
  Choo Choo, what do we think? Fantastic parts.
• 57:03
  I really like the not the belt piece, but the the lower arm are
• 57:08
  really around the legs. How you've got a mix of of
• 57:11
  plates and leather pieces. I think that's a nice addition
• 57:15
  and it being that 1.0 compatibility as well, I think
• 57:18
  is fantastic. I think I'd have really liked to
• 57:20
  have seen an arm, but it's also, to be honest, but I know that
• 57:23
  it's that that new scale. I think if it had an arm, it's
• 57:26
  also, I think it would have been a very, very different figure.
• 57:31
  I just think that would have made it, maybe made it kind of
• 57:34
  its stock rise a bit in the sense that it would have been a
• 57:37
  more widely desirable figure maybe.
• 57:40
  But yeah, I'm not against it at all.
• 57:42
  I'm really, really like it. I think it's yeah, nice.
• 57:48
  And mouth. I think I think he's probably
• 57:52
  going to be my favorite of the orcs.
• 57:53
  I think he probably is, but it's again, I'm I'm a little bit like
• 57:57
  Luke here. I'm not I'm not.
• 57:59
  I don't know. Orcs don't seem to do it for me
• 58:02
  as much as some of the other figures, but I think so he is
• 58:05
  probably my least favorite in the wave.
• 58:09
  But, but as I say, I think he's going to be well alongside the
• 58:13
  Honog. He's going to be my favorite of
• 58:14
  the orcs, I'm sure. Got you.
• 58:18
  Yeah, Yeah, I like him a lot and I.
• 58:21
  Agree with him on that scope, by the way, that yeah.
• 58:24
  Yeah, it's absolutely fantastic. These little parts of the above,
• 58:31
  the boots between the boots and the and the upper legs,
• 58:34
  fantastic. Great to have those.
• 58:37
  We'll definitely find uses for them and yeah, we're using some
• 58:43
  turn up parts. Definitely a good idea.
• 58:45
  So there's a the glamour shot there from Trevor.
• 58:50
  Such a good picture. That, yeah, that kind of gives
• 58:55
  you an idea of what type of character he is, you know?
• 58:58
  But in that picture, I can imagine him being a giant and
• 59:01
  like a little man just walking up to him.
• 59:03
  And he didn't sit on that throne, but he just looks so
• 59:06
  much bigger than I know that he is.
• 59:09
  Yeah, I got you. It's funny because when they
• 59:12
  showed that I couldn't really see that, I didn't initially go.
• 59:15
  I was watching it on my phone to start with, and I didn't really
• 59:19
  see the leg and I thought it was some kind of at least fruit
• 59:26
  scale skeleton of some sort. Yeah, because of all the bone
• 59:30
  bits and all that. But yeah, he does look huge in
• 59:34
  that victory. You don't see it.
• 59:38
  And then finally, last but not least, we got the iron smell
• 59:45
  public house accessory pack. Is that what it's called?
• 59:47
  Something along those. Yeah, so barrel small.
• 59:52
  In. I smell in yeah, accessory pack,
• 59:56
  right? And he's got a barrel with this
• 1:00:01
  nice imprint of, you know, of that on it.
• 1:00:05
  And he's got the four beer glasses with the little, dear
• 1:00:09
  little foam pieces to go on top, apparently.
• 1:00:12
  And two of them are different to the ones you get with the
• 1:00:16
  Burris. And we get the frying pan again
• 1:00:21
  here. And we get sausages.
• 1:00:25
  Which was a George Gasper special request.
• 1:00:27
  Apparently you know that. If you know the Purple Gang Gang
• 1:00:30
  and Gasper sausages then this is what that is nodding at.
• 1:00:35
  I think I. Love the fact that an in joke
• 1:00:37
  has made it into into, it's so funny.
• 1:00:43
  Yeah, brilliant. And, well, it's an in joke
• 1:00:46
  involving somebody in the studio, so yeah, Yeah.
• 1:00:50
  Still spectacular paint job on sausages.
• 1:00:53
  I have to say. They look like they look tasty.
• 1:00:57
  I'm getting hungry looking at them.
• 1:00:58
  That's the best sign. Equally so on the apples.
• 1:01:03
  And pretty sure we got apples. One of the figure obscurers.
• 1:01:08
  Ganesh. Ganesha, that's right, yeah.
• 1:01:11
  We got the grapes with them, didn't we?
• 1:01:13
  Yeah. So, yeah, those are the pieces
• 1:01:17
  that they can always reuse on stuff like this.
• 1:01:20
  So absolutely perfect it's. Quite good that that plate on
• 1:01:25
  the top of the barrel actually is a separate piece that is
• 1:01:28
  called in place by the the plug. Gotcha the.
• 1:01:33
  Tap so you could have just a plain barrel as well.
• 1:01:36
  There you go and you see it there on the glamour shot and
• 1:01:39
  smell I see in and public house. There you go, That's where you
• 1:01:43
  got the public house from. Oh yeah, he went.
• 1:01:46
  Wrong and wolfsbane lag. Yeah, thirsty.
• 1:01:50
  Now? Go on.
• 1:01:52
  You love all this type of stuff, don't you?
• 1:01:54
  Yeah, I do. I think it's one thing that I
• 1:01:57
  think think is a fantastic legacy for Cosmic legions is
• 1:02:01
  these accessories really and just the the story pieces that
• 1:02:04
  come with them. So I can imagine that people are
• 1:02:07
  going to buy a lots of these for for Dios and stuff.
• 1:02:11
  The amounts of 3D printers. I've been selling steins and and
• 1:02:16
  cups and stuff before. They might not be selling as
• 1:02:20
  much of them now after this. No, but the day or makers will
• 1:02:24
  be selling the little the places that you can put them in so.
• 1:02:28
  Yeah, yeah. Give it one and take with the
• 1:02:30
  other. There's no salad cream with it
• 1:02:33
  to be honest, John. We're not having this.
• 1:02:37
  So I'm visiting Quran on my holidays over the next month or
• 1:02:42
  so, and he's trying to get me to to get back into salad cream.
• 1:02:46
  And I've told him salad cream is a very British condiment.
• 1:02:50
  It's basically like mayonnaise with.
• 1:02:54
  Yeah, with. Tang.
• 1:02:55
  Yeah, with more, more zip to it. I mean like over in content
• 1:03:00
  Europe, here we have mayonnaise with a bit of lemon juice in it.
• 1:03:02
  You know, that's kind of as close as they'll get to anyway.
• 1:03:08
  Yeah, that's disgusting stuff. So won't be happening.
• 1:03:11
  The cards replicating constantly.
• 1:03:13
  It's just they try with mayonnaise and lemons.
• 1:03:16
  It just doesn't. Work.
• 1:03:17
  Look, I'm sure you don't support me on the salad cream point, but
• 1:03:19
  do you like the diode stuff? I love it, yeah.
• 1:03:23
  So with the diode stuff like I've I've been dabbling with
• 1:03:26
  diodes for a while now and I love love building scenes.
• 1:03:30
  My problem is that I don't know how much is enough, so I'm going
• 1:03:34
  to be placing the order and I know I'm going to end up with
• 1:03:37
  more than what I need. Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  Like, but you know, there are worse things, Yeah.
• 1:03:42
  What's what's wrong with having a little extra?
• 1:03:45
  Oh, for sure, yeah. And these are the kind of things
• 1:03:48
  like the heads packs hang around a little bit at retail.
• 1:03:51
  This will probably hang around at retail.
• 1:03:53
  So you know, and this one worth noting 25 bucks for this so
• 1:03:58
  slightly different price point feels about right yet and even
• 1:04:03
  getting the little pickaxe as well so you get a weapon too,
• 1:04:07
  which makes sense with the whole thing.
• 1:04:09
  Frying pan could be a weapon. Yeah, sure.
• 1:04:12
  Could be. I'm sure there's many a
• 1:04:17
  transgressing husband that is well and I think.
• 1:04:21
  The backpack that came with the little fox guy.
• 1:04:26
  I'll remember his name eventually.
• 1:04:28
  He's got a little hook on it. I know he comes with a frying
• 1:04:30
  pan, but I think you can hang. Yeah, I'm guessing you can hang
• 1:04:33
  the frying pan on that hook and he's back.
• 1:04:37
  Oh, on the back. Oh, the backpack hook.
• 1:04:39
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good, since the front pen has a
• 1:04:40
  little off. Absolutely.
• 1:04:43
  Yeah. Well, that's your lot.
• 1:04:44
  So there we are. We're back and excellent.
• 1:04:48
  So that's that's the wave. And I think by the sounds of it,
• 1:04:52
  we're all in, unfortunately again.
• 1:04:56
  As I said to you guys before we started, I've already put a
• 1:05:00
  small order in just just like 3 figures to get just so it was
• 1:05:06
  below like the threshold of, you know, the, the tax and all that.
• 1:05:11
  I've got 2 Burris and one, I can't remember his name, the
• 1:05:17
  little fox guy because I need, I need loads of those little
• 1:05:21
  fellas do loads of them. But this, this is the thing as
• 1:05:24
  well. Like so obviously I want to do
• 1:05:26
  an all in, but not only do I want it to place all the extras
• 1:05:30
  with it, which will build it up too much, but also I don't want
• 1:05:32
  the whole horseman to hold on to it for too long waiting for, you
• 1:05:36
  know, add the other other additional items.
• 1:05:38
  I'd rather do that order separately and then order
• 1:05:40
  whatever else I need that can follow later.
• 1:05:43
  I think it's a good way to do it.
• 1:05:44
  The second way, yeah. Yeah, so the little fox guys,
• 1:05:48
  Byler Frost work well. I'll.
• 1:05:50
  Get there eventually, yeah. People can forgive us this time.
• 1:05:54
  Absolutely all right guys, well, we had some technical issues,
• 1:05:58
  but we got to it and it was absolutely fantastic to have you
• 1:06:01
  on and for this little run through of the wave.
• 1:06:06
  These are normally quite popular episodes with the listeners
• 1:06:11
  slash watchers, so hopefully lots of them will get to see you
• 1:06:14
  and go visit your Instagram pages.
• 1:06:17
  Honed axes for you. Go on Hydra collectibles on
• 1:06:21
  YouTube and Instagram for you, Luke.
• 1:06:24
  So awesome. There we go.
