Latest / The Euro Legions Podcast / 94. What happened at Legions Con?
Transcript
- 0:07My wallet is sobbing. Welcome to your Legions podcast,
- 0:35episode 94. Had to think about that for a
- 0:39second. We're getting close to 100.
- 0:41I think 100 will be in 2025 by the looks of it.
- 0:45So that's going to be exciting. We're going to plan absolutely
- 0:48nothing for 100 and just to treat it as any other episode
- 0:51possibly. Although maybe, maybe we'll do
- 0:54something, but it won't be too exciting.
- 0:55It'll be just like a normal episode with some sort of a
- 0:58weird idea. We'll just see how long we can
- 1:01go see if we can beat the dwarf episode.
- 1:04Start the new year beaten, Missed house seal.
- 1:07We've already beaten that. Marathon episode.
- 1:11I can I can just. 24. Hours stream 22 hours which will
- 1:17be me talking about my factions. I'll just put you in the loop.
- 1:23We can pre record an hour if you do the factions and just keep
- 1:26putting in the loop. Nobody noticed.
- 1:31Yeah. So this week we're going to
- 1:33continue talking about our Legions kind of experience
- 1:36because why not? I mean, if we were in American
- 1:39Football Cup podcast, we'd keep talking about Super Bowl if we
- 1:43were at it. So we've been at the Super Bowl
- 1:45of Legions and we're going to talk about that for another week
- 1:49or two at least. And so we're going to talk about
- 1:53our experience at Legions Con and we're also going to talk
- 1:55about what we got there. So the things that we picked up,
- 1:58we actually might talk about them first.
- 2:02But first, how are you guys? How's Mal doing?
- 2:05Well, I'm all right, apart from dropping your monitor arm on
- 2:09your arm just before we start recording.
- 2:12I've, I, I've went for a couple of drinks after work, so I'm
- 2:14feeling merry. But unfortunately as I was
- 2:17setting up, yeah, yeah, as I was setting up my, the arm of my, I
- 2:22forget what would you call it, the brace, the thing that you
- 2:25know, you monitors on one side over here, laptops over here.
- 2:28The laptop arm just dropped. So I caught it, but as I tried
- 2:32to lift it, it just did not give.
- 2:34And I think I've pulled a bustle in my arm which is not not fun,
- 2:38but. That's not fun, but at least
- 2:39it's not like a broken bone or something like that.
- 2:42Yeah. And if any listeners believe
- 2:46that story as opposed to he's just been thinking about legions
- 2:48come too much and enjoying himself, then you're fools.
- 2:52It's not the kind of thing that you would your arm over, though
- 2:55really is. It.
- 3:00I'll tell you what, I still have a pain in this middle part of my
- 3:03tongue from all the the Armory stuff popping and swapping and
- 3:06stuff. I'm telling you, you, you just
- 3:08the next time you pop and swap allegiance figure, just think
- 3:11about this part of your tongue. Or else I'm doing it wrong
- 3:13actually. I'm laughing.
- 3:15You can't see it now, but I had a scab on my finger there until
- 3:18about two days ago where I sliced it open trying to.
- 3:21Put that Yeah, I was there. I was there.
- 3:23Flooded all over the place. You swear it was his first
- 3:26figure? Yeah, what a heck.
- 3:30The guy with the biggest box of figures.
- 3:32Yeah, it's because his first, his first figures, he finally
- 3:35got off the leash. No, that was.
- 3:37Excuse me, the biggest box of figures was it?
- 3:41Was and that lovely man, he came to our table and bought off both
- 3:45me and you. So he did.
- 3:46I will not have a bad word said about him other than a maybe he
- 3:52was doing something else when he had to collect these big boxes
- 3:54stuff. But we've covered that, we've
- 3:56covered that. And maybe he can drop his
- 3:58message if he's listening, you know, to, to tell us what
- 4:02happened. We'd love the back story there.
- 4:04It could be just I was in the bathroom, you know, that could
- 4:07be end of it, end of. Story and love that back story.
- 4:12And probably in the bathroom there where you can still like,
- 4:14it's just, it's just on the roof so you can hear his name and
- 4:17he's like, he's like. Trying to wiping as quick as
- 4:21possible. And he gets to be quick.
- 4:24He spit, stuff lands on the floor, he slips on it.
- 4:29Clean up in our whatever. They found him the next day,
- 4:33Yeah. He got his fingers.
- 4:34It was just at midnight once he'd finally found some new
- 4:38clothes. And Rich, how are you doing?
- 4:41No such mishaps for you, unusually.
- 4:44No, for once I haven't broken anything, hit anything.
- 4:48No, I'm yet tickety Boo. There you go, people.
- 4:52Love when you're. Also good, yeah.
- 4:53Yeah, we need to. Yeah, yeah.
- 4:57I'm off, I'm off to I'm off to a Comic Con this weekend, so I'll
- 5:00probably oh wow, which 14 where? Or Birmingham, the second
- 5:03biggest in the UK. Up to up to mouse neck of the
- 5:06woods you going on the upper. I'm bringing the whole family so
- 5:11the child and I'm not going to get lady wife to go in with me.
- 5:14So you're not going? A couple of mates of mine are
- 5:16going but just not this time around.
- 5:21You're a bit burned out with the cash as well after.
- 5:25My finances are. The visa bills are starting to
- 5:29come due. Just a little bit.
- 5:33Yeah, we just need to get through another couple of weeks
- 5:36through the Christmas and everything.
- 5:38And Speaking of celebrations, a lot of our listeners are in the
- 5:41USA. So happy Thanksgiving to them or
- 5:43I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
- 5:45But the time this is released, I hope you have a little bit of
- 5:49downtime where you can listen to us.
- 5:51And if you have episodes to catch up on, maybe you can do
- 5:53that. That would be that'd be pretty
- 5:55cool. But I think a lot of people are
- 5:57up to date, judging by the listeners been going well since
- 6:01regions gone. So and even in the run up, so
- 6:05pretty cool. And and then you got Black
- 6:07Friday coming up, more pressure on your wallets.
- 6:10It's pretty tough trying to avoid all that kind of stuff.
- 6:13What I'd say with Black Friday is if you're looking for
- 6:16something all year and you've been kind of saving your money
- 6:19for all you've been thinking about it, and that goes on
- 6:21discount, get that. But don't buy the other crap
- 6:24that you never even knew you needed when it goes on discount,
- 6:28because that's just. Going to save mine for the
- 6:29retailer wave. I've spent a little bit there.
- 6:35Yeah, I'm, I'm waiting for the e-mail to come in. 27 Fisher I
- 6:38smell Yeah. And I'm waiting.
- 6:40For the e-mail to come in to say, oh, we have your speakers,
- 6:44can you pay us? I'm like, Oh yeah, it's going to
- 6:47be a tough e-mail and. That's very generously the John
- 6:51to pay for all of them. Everyone was listening to the
- 6:54show. They heard that.
- 6:54Well, fair play. Somebody has to pay upfront and
- 6:57then sort it out in the background.
- 6:59They don't care the breakdown between us.
- 7:01They just want their cash. And yeah, but if you do have any
- 7:05money leftover after all that, you know, you can join us on
- 7:08Patreon. We're going into our second year
- 7:12of Patreon turning in January, so that'll be exciting.
- 7:15You'll also get a little exclusive pin for your troubles.
- 7:18We have, we have those. They're already in the hopper
- 7:21and ready to go. The people that are in the
- 7:23Patreon have got theirs, so that's pretty cool.
- 7:27And we I'm sure we'll have some exciting projects and some
- 7:30bonus, bonus episodes. Rich is working on a few ideas
- 7:33there in the. Background.
- 7:34I was going to say yeah, that our patrons will get to hear
- 7:37them a little little spin off episodes and be part of
- 7:41hopefully. Yeah, exactly.
- 7:43And it's a couple of ideas. Exactly.
- 7:45And you get access to our back catalogue of bonus episodes.
- 7:48So, you know, and quite topically because the released,
- 7:51we did a big episode on Monster Force on Patreon.
- 7:55So if you want to know all about what we think about Monster
- 7:58Force and kind of good overview of the whole thing in our, you
- 8:03know, the way we do it with Legions is pretty similar we did
- 8:05with Monster Force. So that's definitely a fun one
- 8:08to catch. I honestly feel we are partly
- 8:11responsible for the massively positive response that Monster
- 8:14Force has received based on our Patreon episode. 100%
- 8:21considering only our patrons listen to it, it's going to be
- 8:24tough to. They spread the word, John.
- 8:27They spread the word. Yeah, we have mentioned in the
- 8:30pond, Yeah we have. We have often mentioned Monster
- 8:34force on the main episodes as as that line we we do admire.
- 8:38So I actually get in a couple of this Friday delivery.
- 8:42I had to ship the pile of loot because my kid wants a couple of
- 8:46plunderings for Christmas and that was the best way to get
- 8:50them through big bad. So and just you know, previous
- 8:54big bad shipments. I thought it would be like
- 8:57urgently need to be shipped arriving within a week of
- 9:01shipping. So I don't know, they seem to
- 9:03change, although they used to only have the normal post as an
- 9:06option, but they had FedEx now as well and FedEx seems to be
- 9:10quicker maybe for international seems to work quicker.
- 9:13It was similar, like similar shipping to the Horseman and
- 9:16similar experience. The FedEx Luxembourg got it on
- 9:19Tuesday and delivering it on Friday because that's the date
- 9:23that the estimated date. So how much fun?
- 9:27Is that I love that it's so good.
- 9:29That's so jobs were so annoying. Yeah, exactly.
- 9:35Now, occasionally I think they've come a day or two early
- 9:38of that, but I really only think it's because they were going to
- 9:41the area anyway and their system flagged it up.
- 9:45You don't have to drive there tomorrow if you bring this as
- 9:47well. But because I'm a little bit
- 9:51outside the city, I suppose they maybe don't have enough
- 9:54deliveries at this direction. So maybe someone that lives in
- 9:58the city probably has a different experience of FedEx
- 10:01Luxembourg. But hey, it's not a big deal.
- 10:03These are not life saving things that we need to get urgently,
- 10:07you know. Edx UK is definitely different.
- 10:10That's like we're going to deliver your parcel on Friday
- 10:12and then it arrives on Tuesday. And you're like when?
- 10:17You're. When you're at work, thrown,
- 10:19yeah, thrown onto your doorstep. You know, whatever.
- 10:23A couple of 100 quids worth of figures just lying there on your
- 10:25doorstep as you look at it on the camera, hoping that somebody
- 10:29doesn't pay for it. Pretty much.
- 10:33Or you sat in your office panicking because you realize
- 10:36your wife, who was working at home, he's going to take in the
- 10:38large box again and then curse your very name.
- 10:41Yeah, yeah, I had a delivery today of a couple of things for
- 10:45Christmas and again, prepared for the kids and stuff.
- 10:48And yeah, I heard the doorbell, but I was down in the basement,
- 10:51so it took me a minute or so to get up.
- 10:54And I think he was just leaving the stuff there.
- 10:56And he was about to walk off because they opened the front
- 10:58door and all the packages fell in.
- 11:00There was three packages, and he'd kind of piled them up
- 11:02against the door but didn't realize that the door was
- 11:05actually holding them up. So open the door and all the
- 11:07packages came in. I was just.
- 11:08Thankfully he's not fragile in them, but I'm sure they've been
- 11:11treated worse along the way. Yeah, because he didn't even
- 11:16want a signature. He was just like, bye, See ya,
- 11:21like, OK, fine. Sounds good to me.
- 11:24So shall anything else from you boys, or shall we get on with
- 11:27the the actual subject at hands? Let's go.
- 11:32Let's go. OK, who do you want this week?
- 11:35Oh, we had we had dinner with me features in one of my pictures
- 11:38later. So let's let's let Matt take us
- 11:41to the next bit. This is Matt Drake from the Toy
- 11:45Linux YouTube channel, and you're listening to the Your
- 11:48Allegiance podcast. There we go.
- 11:50There's Matt, very nice guy, has been on the show with us before
- 11:56and even gave us a little present that you're going to see
- 11:58in our halls. So who wants to do all for so
- 12:01Rich? You have the biggest hall, but
- 12:03what I suggest we do first is the Armory figures.
- 12:06How about that kind of near the front of so Rich?
- 12:10I'm going to bring yours up. Yours is kind of in half, so
- 12:13just ignore that amazing custom on the road.
- 12:15Spoiler, spoiler and near your Armory figures.
- 12:20So you got A7. I did to be well.
- 12:24Yeah, I went. I did got the four at that
- 12:27intern. I went for the four favorite
- 12:29builds I pre done. So that's the top left, top
- 12:34right, bottom right. And the brown one, the green one
- 12:40with the red. Sorry, yes.
- 12:42The black and the black and gun metal one bottom right, and then
- 12:46the combination of purple and green armor.
- 12:48The next step? That was a weird one.
- 12:50I still not, I'm still not 100% on that one, but I know a lot of
- 12:53people do like it so it won't be any problem.
- 12:56It's my two favorite colours so I had to do the combo.
- 12:59There's better ones you could have done, but I just had to do
- 13:01it. Then I really like the disgrace
- 13:04I've I cannot. Talk.
- 13:07And I really like the idea of a evil purple light.
- 13:10So I popped around once more at the con when the queue wasn't
- 13:14too bad, and then went back twice more and got two more when
- 13:18the queue really was just basically empty.
- 13:20And my last session was was delightful because Greg Lord or
- 13:26King of the armoury or whatever title he gave himself, I was
- 13:30only person in there. So he gave me all his focus and
- 13:32all his time and talked me through picking each part.
- 13:36Even though I said to him, this is my 7th 1 Greg, I know what
- 13:39I'm doing. No, no, talked me through every
- 13:41single stage. You know, here's a torso.
- 13:44We've got these ones, you've got that one and I'm like, I I know
- 13:47this is my 7th figure and then next box again, we've got these.
- 13:50I'd maybe recommend this one. I was like, so did you go in
- 13:57your? Did you get the the red armoured
- 13:591 then or was that one of your first ones?
- 14:01No, no. That was one of the later ones
- 14:03that was inspired by Eric Miller.
- 14:05Yeah, and I wish I had the neighbours there.
- 14:08Yeah, I wish I got more of the red armour in hindsight, but you
- 14:12know, that's more money. Again, it's.
- 14:14Enable I must admit I'm probably going to buy the two red
- 14:19armoured ones when they put them on the Horsemen website to be
- 14:23honest with you, because as red armour was probably my favorite
- 14:27colour armour and but then I bought mostly green armour so.
- 14:34Yeah, well, we can see like what you've got here.
- 14:36So yes, you got 3. Is it?
- 14:39I got 4 but the 4th one literally is bits and wasn't.
- 14:42Really. OK, so you're.
- 14:44Doing it, it was a bit like some of your figures, John.
- 14:47Yeah, we'll get to them. We'll get that.
- 14:50So amazing. Here the middle one.
- 14:53This is the one I lots of people messed up and not getting.
- 14:57Although those parts were sold out at some point so.
- 15:01He's he's, he's with me right now.
- 15:03He's. So this is the green cloth
- 15:05armour and you've put in? Yeah, I've had in bits too,
- 15:07obviously. Before now, yeah, green cloth
- 15:09armour. The arms were the purple armour
- 15:16cloth goods because I preferred them to the green.
- 15:20Although I did think the 4th figure.
- 15:21I got the green cloth goods and as I was doing it I already knew
- 15:26I was going to put the the knot Atlas head on it.
- 15:31Yeah. It's great and I'm describing
- 15:33him as I've given him an axe, a short bow, shield and so and I'm
- 15:39describing him as the Huntsman. Awesome.
- 15:42So yeah, he's great. Yeah, really chuffed with him.
- 15:46He's one that you won't be able to get in the in the.
- 15:52Look at this, I've got a Co host.
- 15:54Oh cool, I wish I I wish mine would be well behaved enough to
- 15:58be done for me. Look at that.
- 16:00See how much better behaved that cat is than the gerbil?
- 16:03Yeah. Yeah, he's he's been nice and
- 16:05quiet. He's doing the typical cat
- 16:07thing. The boy with the girl's name or
- 16:09the girl? With that, that's the boy with
- 16:11the girl's name. That's Tilly.
- 16:12Hey, buddy. Hi, Tilly.
- 16:13Yeah, he's doing the typical cat thing, though, because he's
- 16:16like, I'm going to be on camera, but I'm going to look like I
- 16:18don't care, Just pretend. Play cool, play cool.
- 16:23I'm just here. And you got and you got the the
- 16:26red and green nights, which is amazing builds.
- 16:30You went for the I went a heavy torso on the green night and you
- 16:36went that's the valiant night on the.
- 16:38Yeah, but with the Valiant night, I went with the red cloth
- 16:42parts as well. He was cloth parts.
- 16:44Cool. Yeah, it was.
- 16:45It was built I'd done when we were doing our episode.
- 16:47And then funnily enough, whatever show it was door,
- 16:52Claire took a picture of one of them that was on display, which
- 16:54was that build. And that now confirmed that I
- 16:57needed. That was the one I wanted.
- 16:59And then the green light was kind of my attempt to bit of a
- 17:02vulgar familiar, spending green with modern armor.
- 17:06Yeah. So yeah.
- 17:07Yeah, I really like it. It's cool.
- 17:09I love green. So shall we get to my Yes.
- 17:16So the one on the left here, the one with the brown leather and
- 17:21the bits of red armor, that was a build I did and then when I
- 17:26went to put it, I don't know what I was doing then.
- 17:28I think I was just picking parts like the cloth and and then when
- 17:33I brought them and built it, I went.
- 17:35That is absolutely terrible and apologies to anyone that's done
- 17:38this and likes it. It's.
- 17:39Terrible. Yeah.
- 17:43Realise you should not have a pop and swap if that's what
- 17:46you've done, yeah. And then the one on the right,
- 17:49so is my rescue attempt. So I did a red armored 1 like
- 17:54you Mal and I wanted to do it with the armored torso, but I
- 17:57somehow did it with this red cloth torso instead.
- 18:02So I had the fully armoured everything and a red cloth
- 18:05torso, which is like who would do that one night would like you
- 18:10know go into battle. I got all my armor and you know
- 18:12my leather vest on you know if. You could avoid stopping me in.
- 18:15Case we want to do in case you want a bit of fun later.
- 18:19I got my leather gear as well, so this was my rest.
- 18:24So this one on the right here, which has got the it's got more
- 18:28and it's got the red armor, arms and legs and the heavy pauldrons
- 18:35is I think better. And that's my rescue job of this
- 18:41build here. Yeah, and and I like that helmet
- 18:45with the kind of black Templar at the red and it's pretty cool.
- 18:48So and then this barbarian that I actually did at Asians Con, I
- 18:55left that here. So this is with the torso, which
- 18:57I think is on the horseman now, yes and my leftover red armor a
- 19:02bit. So that's the the lower arms and
- 19:04legs, one of the pauldrons and that cool Valiant Knight helmet.
- 19:07I think that works well here and it's like a strap for the for
- 19:12the for the one single paulder. So that I thought is kind of
- 19:18rescuing that, but I'm not happy because I wanted a full red
- 19:21armor. I mean, I'll get it.
- 19:24I'd get it in the sale hopefully, although we might be
- 19:26crying after the sale because. It's falling through your head
- 19:32as you're like picking it out. The brown leather I'm.
- 19:35Probably talking to Greg and, you know, this was, this was
- 19:39worse. This was in the, this was one of
- 19:41the ones I got. This wasn't one of the four I
- 19:43got at Legions at Intern. Intern Yeah no, the stupid red
- 19:48armoured one with the torso was because I'd got all the red
- 19:51armoured pieces and said Oh yeah they're doing cloth torsos
- 19:53they're not doing and didn't realize they didn't get a red 1
- 19:59and I did the purple Knight here then classic purple Knight and
- 20:03that's a little homage to the one they have in the cabinet at
- 20:07the Forestman studios with that I was.
- 20:10Going to do that one, but then decided.
- 20:13So it's obviously not all the same parts because that had the
- 20:16old the older night parts, but this is pretty much as close as
- 20:19you can get to it. So like that very cool for the
- 20:22purple and and then the green. So this one in the right here is
- 20:27what I ended up with the green. So it's basically similar build
- 20:30dish to what they had at the at that event where they just put
- 20:36these on the table. Remember a couple of months ago,
- 20:39but somehow I missed the green cloth skirt piece, which was
- 20:45totally the green tours. It still works here with the
- 20:48brown and the brown pulgins, but I think the green looks much
- 20:51better with the green. So I don't know what happened
- 20:54there. And then the helmet doesn't
- 20:57match really at all. So I just stuck a Novi and lean
- 21:00head on is here for the crack because that's green.
- 21:03Kind of looks cool. Very fair.
- 21:04If you put the brown torso with that build, it'll look pretty
- 21:07cool. And yeah.
- 21:09But then we could do with the green.
- 21:11Well, that just has to become a spare, doesn't it?
- 21:15It's stupid. Yeah.
- 21:18Yeah, maybe I'll do that. I think that would work really
- 21:21well. That'd look really cool.
- 21:23Yeah. It's kind of the reverse of what
- 21:24I've done there. It's.
- 21:25There yeah anyway, like I'm happy that I have some figures
- 21:29and they're cool but I completely messed up there so
- 21:35that's. That's not a comedy though for
- 21:37the show. So yeah, yeah.
- 21:38Oh yeah, of course I spent, I spent £160.00 here just to
- 21:43provide some comedy. I was I was next to John in the
- 21:45queue so I can confirm he had not been drinking at this point
- 21:48he just slightly just picking random things.
- 21:50It's too early in the morning, maybe.
- 21:52Yeah, a day after, like, right. So now.
- 21:58Yes. Tell us you got some figures
- 22:00here as well. You got three snakes, I see.
- 22:02Yeah, I actually got 4 snakes, but one of them is going to be
- 22:05Cosmic Tuck. So I just kind of was showing
- 22:08off what I'd done with my builds of the three others just to make
- 22:14them different. So one is fully armoured up, you
- 22:17know, both pulled pauldrons, shoulders pauldrons, isn't it?
- 22:21Yeah, the the Mace and the shield.
- 22:27And to me he's like the leader, the general or whatever,
- 22:29commander of the platoon, whatever you want to call him.
- 22:33Then you've got like the infantry who he's got a single
- 22:37shoulder, a singer pauldron on the arm with the shield, so, you
- 22:42know, protection block things and a spear in the other hand.
- 22:46And then Carlo from Immortal Collections posted a bit of a
- 22:52mash up of, oh, what's the grey one called the Strat?
- 22:58The Stratos? Xenophon.
- 23:03Xenophon. He posted a mix of Xenothon and
- 23:06the Ninian infantry where he used the wings and the and the
- 23:11armour from Xenothon. And I didn't want to go that far
- 23:15but I loved the look of the wings, the Red Wings on him.
- 23:18So I've then got a third version that's just got the Red Wings,
- 23:21the golden Pike from a Xenothon and he's got a shield as well as
- 23:26if he's like an airborne infantry.
- 23:28And and so yeah, I've got 3 builds, very simple little
- 23:32tweaks that you can do easily and it makes 3 quite different
- 23:38looking figures really. And don't they look good?
- 23:41Yeah, they're so glass of snake men.
- 23:44Yeah, and you got your exclusives as well.
- 23:47Yeah, then my exclusives, these are the are the builds I've done
- 23:50with them. So obviously I've got the two as
- 23:52they come, but then I've gone with the dwarf and I've given
- 23:57him her Cape I got from Darla Ackerman.
- 24:01I'm actually going to swap that out for the one I got from
- 24:05Mesquite Con last year, because the one I've got there has a
- 24:08nice little knot on it and it's been hidden by his beard, which
- 24:11seems a shame. Whereas the one I got from
- 24:13Mesquite Con didn't have that. So I'm going to swap that out.
- 24:15But then I've gone with the Jaguar lean head on the Garwich
- 24:20build. So you take the skirt pieces off
- 24:23so his tail, it can still stick out and it looks so cool.
- 24:27It looks really, really good. It's gives off those samurai
- 24:30vibes. But Fantasy Samurai, which is
- 24:34yeah, I'm really chuffed with that build as well.
- 24:37That's really cool. Yeah, right.
- 24:41Rich, this picture here, this is the box.
- 24:46See, is was quite a big box, apparently smaller than last
- 24:49year. It was much bigger than them,
- 24:51Joe Russo's box. I think that's the important
- 24:53thing to stress. Package, Yeah, yeah.
- 24:58And this is what was in there, apart from the snakes,
- 25:01obviously. Yes, Miles set is up and all
- 25:05lovely. I did this while I was from
- 25:07COVID. So I just chucked him on a
- 25:08carpet and O'rogan took a photograph.
- 25:12Yeah. So this is I got the the
- 25:14exclusives at the top left there.
- 25:17I bought myself some cosmic builders.
- 25:19There's a few sentries and one science officer, a couple of
- 25:22Tusk pilots as well, couple more of the Gravering Oleks to use
- 25:27for lizard and snake bills basically, and then an Operative
- 25:3283. I just love the colours, so I
- 25:34thought I'd get one more of those as well.
- 25:36The Mythics, There's four snakes there.
- 25:38I've actually got 6 in total. Two were still in box, so they
- 25:42came back via the wonderful breast Stoddart and his mail
- 25:46delivery. Another brother, Mandibulus,
- 25:50because the colours are really cool.
- 25:53Torso is is excellent as Xenothorn.
- 25:56I needed more grey parts. I seem slight obsession with
- 25:59shark warriors and that sort of stuff, so I needed some grey
- 26:02limbs. Two more Demistrios again,
- 26:05underwater things as that, that oxidized sort of look to it.
- 26:08Azaria, who I didn't have. I'd sold mine ages ago so picked
- 26:11her up forness because he's cool.
- 26:14Another relic guard and a snag. I think Mal got a snag and I did
- 26:18Mal just using the words I bought a snag, some ice and he
- 26:21went on to get a snag at all. Yeah, I got one as well.
- 26:23Yeah, can't resist a snag. Yeah.
- 26:26So a lot less than last year, but still a fair for you there.
- 26:29Yeah, I didn't. Well, I'm not organised enough
- 26:31of my stuff. I didn't bother to take picture
- 26:34of my figures that I got. But you know, they're allegiance
- 26:38figures. You know, people know what
- 26:39they're. But yeah, I think I said before
- 26:43what I bought at the at the intern and that's pretty much
- 26:47what I bought apart from the snake men.
- 26:51Quite a few of those in my house at the moment, so exclusive.
- 26:53Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Yeah.
- 26:56And the Nate Birch. James, 1234.
- 27:00No, they will be kept and. How are we going to ship that
- 27:04Nate bar chart without it Cost and a fortune?
- 27:06I don't know. We have much bigger box, yeah.
- 27:09Anyway, we'll figure it out. Yeah, yeah, it's easy to store
- 27:14anyway if it needs to stay there for a while.
- 27:16Yes, it is currently stored with the rest of my artwork prints.
- 27:20AKM, it's off my wardrobe. Yeah, I saw today actually our
- 27:23post is the jacking up the prices in February.
- 27:27So that's nice of them or they're changing everything and
- 27:30it's OK. Some of the prices are going
- 27:32down, but like the stuff that you never use, but like the
- 27:35basic price to send stuff to certain places is going way up.
- 27:39So it's going to be really stupid, but then I might just
- 27:43have to go and use the German post so.
- 27:47The joy of being so close. Yeah, I mean, technically I
- 27:50shouldn't be able to use it, but if you have a friend that has an
- 27:53address in Germany, you can use it.
- 27:55So maybe not legally, but you know, practically and radio.
- 28:03So let's get on to a few more things that you got now.
- 28:07So we move on here some customs. Beauty say about.
- 28:11Yeah, really, really pleased. I wasn't intending to buy as
- 28:15many customs as I did, but there's some fantastic stuff and
- 28:19there always is. But I just.
- 28:20So First off and sorry to everyone else, I don't mean it
- 28:25any disrespect, but my favorite thing I picked up at Legions Con
- 28:29he's a dwarf off Noah Pratt, who it's the one he did with the
- 28:36greenish hair and the mismatched armor.
- 28:40I just when he showed it off I was just like that.
- 28:43That's fantastic. I need it.
- 28:46So I did mess. He got in his DMS. Yeah, I did.
- 28:51And then other thing that and I thought I was going to have
- 28:56missed out on these and and then to see them on the table when I
- 28:59got when I went and spoke to art to check how he was doing.
- 29:02All right, the Hannah man figures that he did was so cool.
- 29:08I've I've done a picture from his Instagram here for anyone
- 29:12watching the YouTube because idiot that found the clumsy F
- 29:16where I am and I didn't want to put the picture up because it
- 29:18doesn't it's not fair to art because I managed to break it's
- 29:24not broken. I've disconnected the chain and
- 29:29I need another pair of hands and some smaller tools to get it
- 29:32back together. I can't.
- 29:34I've nearly lost the bit that has come off trying to do it on
- 29:38my own. Fortunately I found it again.
- 29:41So yeah. So I need to fix that before I
- 29:43display it. But awesome.
- 29:46It's the white handyman monk and the work on it, the trousers,
- 29:50everything. You know, it was, Yeah.
- 29:53I think Art sold himself really for it.
- 29:56But you know, I'll take it. Yeah, well, it's tough market
- 30:01their allegiance console. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 30:03You gotta, you gotta set a price right some more you got, you got
- 30:08crabs. Crab.
- 30:10You know Brian C was going around giving everyone crabs and
- 30:12I got them too. These crab men were fantastic.
- 30:18Weren't these pre made ones I should have?
- 30:21I'm annoyed without myself for not picking up the the blank set
- 30:25as well. There's printed set whatever you
- 30:27want to call it as well because I've seen some of the stuff he's
- 30:31been doing since and I'm like. And he did cosmic crabs as well,
- 30:35so. Yeah, he's probably well.
- 30:38So. He's got an eBay shop, so he
- 30:41could, yeah. I should probably just get.
- 30:44On there he has he has translucent ones now as well.
- 30:47Today are starting to work on Translucent.
- 30:50Ones I need them. Only he's bought in advance
- 30:55allegiance con he could have done 6 different colour
- 30:57translucents. What malice all to you
- 30:59instantly. Seriously.
- 31:02And then this is the custom that Eugene Eunuch made who and he
- 31:09very, very, very generous, generously gifted all of us the
- 31:14customs he made from our head sculpts.
- 31:21And it's. Yeah, I think it's fantastic.
- 31:23It's awesome. I love the colours.
- 31:24I love everything about it. Yeah, yeah.
- 31:26It's so cool. Yeah, it's blue and gold.
- 31:30Yeah, to do that it's. Like a Yeah, you can.
- 31:34You'll have seen it on his. He's on his Facebook.
- 31:36If you. If you.
- 31:37Is that one of his translucent cabal Shields on the side that?
- 31:41Is yes, that sold very, very well.
- 31:43Apparently they were very popular and it is very cool.
- 31:46It's very cool. It's like an energy gives it
- 31:48like an energy effect coming out of the the wrist gauntlet, which
- 31:54is very cool and the way he's done the energy effect on the
- 31:57the barrel of the gun as well. He's he's done a great job.
- 32:00Really nice paint work. Paint job on it.
- 32:04Yeah, very good. I think two more did I get.
- 32:10Yeah, we got here. Yeah, this one a little bit
- 32:14rubbish, but I felt sorry for the person.
- 32:17No, no, John, this this one on the left is from John and I'd
- 32:24I'd, I'd, yeah, I'd seen it. I'd seen it like.
- 32:28Crayon job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew.
- 32:32I think he just got markers and drew it in like it was.
- 32:34Yeah. Oh yeah, no, he.
- 32:36Gave it to he gave it to me to do Mal.
- 32:37So yeah. No, it's really cool.
- 32:42We know how much you like Rich's art, you know.
- 32:46We need words with some of our views.
- 32:48We'll we'll get, we'll get there.
- 32:51Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it.
- 32:54You had it last year and it didn't sell, which baffles me.
- 32:57And some of your other ones last year, I'd have bought them in a
- 32:59heartbeat. But they sold because I have a
- 33:01weird thing with John and Rich's stuff where I'm like, I'd rather
- 33:05other people bought them for, you know, got the opportunity
- 33:07and bought them. But this hadn't sold.
- 33:09I was like, I'll take it off you then.
- 33:10So I bought that off John. And then this one was a bit of a
- 33:16a bit of a surprise and very, very nice.
- 33:18The end as everyone was packing up and Jeremy came over and he's
- 33:23like, Mal, I'd like you to have this.
- 33:25And I was like, OK. And I, I don't think I quite
- 33:29reacted and was quite as thankful as I should have been
- 33:31because I was a bit, a little bit taken aback.
- 33:33I know you were. You were.
- 33:35You were he. He knew.
- 33:38Because yeah, he gifted me that and it was like.
- 33:41So what is it? It's yeah.
- 33:43So it's it was the one where he took a thar nog upper half and
- 33:50connected it to some robotic legs that I think were a spawn
- 33:54figure. He showed it off on the Cabal
- 33:57and I thought it was awesome when he showed it off on the
- 33:59Cabal. I think it was really, really
- 34:00cool. And it is.
- 34:02It's it's so funny. It's such a fun custom.
- 34:05So yeah, I was a very, very pleasant surprise and very taken
- 34:09aback and very happy to own that and add it to my my growing
- 34:13custom collection. Yeah, very cool.
- 34:17Which I will say prior to probably last year, I was very
- 34:21much like, oh, I don't need custom figures made by others
- 34:23because that part of me is doing my own customs and it's kind of
- 34:26hanging out with Rich and talking to riches.
- 34:29So your father. Yeah, thank or blame him,
- 34:33whichever way you want to look at it.
- 34:34That he's opened my eyes to the interest that owning other
- 34:41people's customs can bring to your collection for sure.
- 34:45Sure. That's cool.
- 34:46That's awesome. Right?
- 34:50Have we got? OK, we let's go to the heads you
- 34:52got as well then. OK, yeah.
- 34:54So I bought a few painted heads, not too many.
- 34:58Well, to be honest, a few of these are.
- 35:01There's. 11 then yeah, a few of these are gifted as well, but
- 35:06I'm not going to go too much into that because, you know, but
- 35:10yeah, so we've got one from David Williams at the on the top
- 35:14left, which is a it was like an insectoid alien sort of head
- 35:19that is just so cool. I think I'm going to try and use
- 35:21that on my shadow circle guys I love.
- 35:25I love the red eyes with that colour.
- 35:27Scheme as well, so much one of the clown goblins that Mark
- 35:33Calvo did. I didn't think I'd get one.
- 35:36I thought I assumed they'd all be sold out, but again, as I was
- 35:40going to check on him and check he was doing all right, I saw it
- 35:43on his he stand. I was like I'll have it.
- 35:45I'm having that because he's just you know, I I can't do
- 35:51that. That's way beyond my level of
- 35:53ability and it just. It's his paint job on that head
- 35:55is incredible. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- 35:58Yeah. Talk to him about that, that he
- 36:00actually does. We did a paint job 1st and then.
- 36:03And then does the make? It's brave enough to put the
- 36:05makeup on it, which is. And it looks so good.
- 36:08Crazy, so cool. Because Rich, I don't know if
- 36:11you've noticed because I know you've got one of these with
- 36:13yours. As you turn it, it's like you
- 36:16can see the sorts of it looks so much like it's face paint
- 36:20because the shadow, you know, certain areas.
- 36:22Where? Oh, I've not noticed that.
- 36:23It's prominent in the shadows. It just looks.
- 36:25So it's really good. And then the other two, these
- 36:31two are off. Eugene again, Eunuch, he's
- 36:34again. I love the way he's such a good
- 36:36painter of heads. Probably possibly a bit
- 36:38underrated in the community. The one is from the Von Box.
- 36:44The door Claire Von Box. Think it what?
- 36:47No, it was Trevor Williams Von Box.
- 36:51Trevor was a robot. Oh yeah.
- 36:53So it's Door Claire. It's Bill, Bill Dronowski, Door
- 36:55Claire's, which is what made me finally join Von Box.
- 37:01But I'd missed them already was when I saw them.
- 37:03I was like, I need them, but I managed.
- 37:05This is the one I wanted most of the two and I saw Eugene was
- 37:08selling that, so I got that. The next row, the first head,
- 37:13there is one that Mister Jones was selling and I'd seen on the
- 37:17Jones 1234 many a few for a while.
- 37:21I was like, I quite like that. I'll wait.
- 37:23I'll see it in person and if it's as good as it looks in
- 37:26person, I'll pick that up off him.
- 37:28And I did. He didn't.
- 37:29He didn't leave that for anyone else to look at it.
- 37:31He was literally he's like one that one, OK.
- 37:34When it comes to getting head off Rich and John, I don't.
- 37:37Wait for him first. That's the that's the Nikki
- 37:40Nicole paint job on that one as well.
- 37:42So that's. Really cool.
- 37:44It's really cool. It's fun.
- 37:46It reminds me of the, what they're called Star Trek
- 37:51villains that were lizards in the old the old original series.
- 37:55Gorn. Yeah, Yeah, the Gorn reminds me
- 37:58of, but from the Original series, not Strange New Worlds.
- 38:03And then I had to pick up one of John's paint jobs of the
- 38:06leprechaun because it's just, they're really cool.
- 38:09I love what he did with them and the especially the the alcohol
- 38:16tint and the yeah, really effective.
- 38:23And then bless him. I will say this, Eric Miller,
- 38:26because he said on the enablers, he gifted us the heads he'd
- 38:29painted. So that will be used probably in
- 38:32my shadow circle as well. Last head is is another Noah
- 38:37Pratt one because Noah does for me, again, with utmost respect
- 38:42to everyone else in the community who are fantastic
- 38:44artists. For me, Noah does the best
- 38:48Caucasian skin tones and there's just something about and they
- 38:52look so a real, so alive, so viable.
- 38:56You know, there's some. I'm about them.
- 38:58I'm still kicking myself. I didn't get anything from Noah
- 39:00this year. It just completely slipped my
- 39:03mind. It's like, damn it.
- 39:05Well, I got, I got, obviously. Too busy, Jason Snakes.
- 39:10Hippopotamuses or whatever it's called.
- 39:14But yeah, but I will say those head, those head sculpts that no
- 39:17one was selling was so good that they, and I do this with a few
- 39:21things of saying with our head sculpts, just not to say they
- 39:24were so good, but they're good. I like them.
- 39:27I want painted versions by people who can do it way better
- 39:31than I can do it. But they look like really fun
- 39:33sculpts to paint as well. So I bought some to paint as
- 39:37well so I could have a go. And maybe I'll probably make my
- 39:39more mythic in terms of the dwarf heads that Noah did,
- 39:43whereas he's I've gone with ones that can use for cosmic bottom
- 39:48row. We've got a Novian lean head
- 39:50that was repainted in a bit of a, what would you call it,
- 39:54synthwave, I guess a bit kind of that style by John, which again,
- 40:00he showed that off and I was like, I love that.
- 40:01That's really cool. Navy and Lean is obviously one
- 40:03of my favorite. Yeah, that's one of my
- 40:05favorites, definitely. And I had forgotten that you
- 40:08bought it. I was wondering, I said, who
- 40:09bought that? I was trying to think because I
- 40:12kind of knew in the back of my head that I knew somebody I knew
- 40:15bought it because it was pretty early on in the, in in the.
- 40:19I think it was actually setting up or literally possibly, yeah.
- 40:22So. Would have remembered that one.
- 40:24And then it was like, yeah. Then when I saw your picture I
- 40:27was like, yes, it was now awesome.
- 40:30And then looking. Forward to seeing that on a
- 40:32customer on. A figure, I don't know what I'm
- 40:35going to do with it, to be honest with you.
- 40:36I just liked it so much I'm I needed to own it, you know.
- 40:40So next head is from Dennis Darby do when he was like, you
- 40:46know, saw the armoury stuff and he started painting stuff up to
- 40:49match the armoury and it's the red armour, which is another
- 40:53reason I need to get when they do, you know, they do the
- 40:57armoury on them store horsemen. I'll I need a body to put that
- 41:02on because I like the head on the one I've got at the moment.
- 41:06Or, you know, I might swap things around.
- 41:08And then Maynard gave me that one.
- 41:11We did a little head trade. Which sounds the Rust King.
- 41:18Yeah. You know what's amazing?
- 41:20What goes on in those rooms? No.
- 41:23Yeah. The Rust King.
- 41:25For anyone who, you know, does or doesn't know who he is,
- 41:29Maynard fearing is the Rust King.
- 41:32And he's done. He's what he does to one of the
- 41:37how what they called cosmic skulls that we got in the oh, I
- 41:42remember. What they're called there, the
- 41:46original, yeah, it was like Fiens or some something like.
- 41:50That Yeah. And he and I gave him what?
- 41:53Are they called anyway? Yeah, go for it.
- 41:56Yeah, no, no, I was just going to say I gave him like a human
- 41:59bald bearded head that I'd painted and just thought I'll
- 42:02bring it along and if anyone wants it, they can have it.
- 42:04And he said he'd like he liked it.

- 43:08were just across from us. It was inevitable.
- 43:12And then, as I say, our heads and Noah's heads, but unpainted,
- 43:18so I could never go at painting them for myself.

- 44:03And right. And we also got, we all got one
- 44:08of these on the left. Very, very generously gifted the

- 44:47for the Charlie Bot from Carver Customs, which I've always got
- 44:53char. Bots, yeah.
- 44:54Char Bot, Yeah, which I've already got the char bot from
- 44:58Mesquite Con, but you didn't have all the parts there, so I
- 45:01picked. OK, so you got some extra cool
- 45:04yeah I got one of those as well. I think it's in my picture, this
- 45:08the resin stuff Great and so many options and so well done
- 45:12the way they have it, you know, they have it all kind of coded
- 45:15and and numbers and you can choose your different
- 45:18attachments and Stacy is there bagging everything up as you're
- 45:24shouting what you want. And then it's very exciting to
- 45:27get and and I fitted all the stuff in it fits very nicely in
- 45:30and everything and I've not tried no worries there with the
- 45:36with the and everything so perfect.
- 45:41Yeah, so nice. Do we want?
- 45:44To and there's more. And there's more.
- 45:46This one I didn't see you pick up and I don't know how you got
- 45:50that in your bag or how big is it.
- 45:52It's it's not as big as it looks.
- 45:54It's quite small. It looks like a little table.
- 45:56Looks like coffee. It is a little, it is a little
- 45:58table. It was Alexander Deshore, Alex.
- 46:03Yeah. I'd love to pick up his stuff,
- 46:05but you know, yes, we know the luggage situation.
- 46:08Yeah, but I think next year we're just going to have to get
- 46:11somebody to ship boxes. Brett.
- 46:13Brett, you're going to, you're going to be shipping more than
- 46:15one box next year, mate. I always go out here and tell
- 46:18him how much I love his stuff and regret not being able to
- 46:20pick it up. And I've talked to him outside
- 46:22of that as well, obviously. But then now, sorry, was doing
- 46:26these little tables and I was like, oh, that'll fit, that'll
- 46:31fit in my luggage and might get back safely.
- 46:33And then he then he showed that you can lift the top bit off.
- 46:36It's magnetized. I was like that that can cut.
- 46:40And I saw that one with the like, like a marble effect on
- 46:43the top or a tree stump. What, what however you want to
- 46:47interpret that. And I was just like, I'll take
- 46:50that one. And honestly, very, very
- 46:52reasonably priced, to be fair. So I yeah, yeah, really, really
- 46:57pleased I picked that up. That's cool.
- 46:59It did come with a little map, which of course I've already
- 47:02lost people. I don't know about you guys, but
- 47:10you can guarantee something's going to get lost in from
- 47:13getting, you know, being bought to getting it back to England or
- 47:18wherever. Europe.
- 47:21It's just going to happen because.
- 47:22Yeah, I didn't lose stuff I bought, but I came home with one
- 47:27less battery charger that I and you can only have them in your
- 47:33hand luggage. So I don't know how.
- 47:36I just must have left it in the hotel.
- 47:37Might have been under a cushion or.
- 47:39Something that's it then. You know, you even look around
- 47:41the room, don't you? Yeah yeah.
- 47:43Still managed to leave some. I definitely.
- 47:45Did two or three sweeps of the room, you know.
- 47:47And suddenly enough I came back with one extra 1 so.
- 47:53Have a euro plug in it. No anyway, no, it was only a
- 48:00cheapo ALDI. It wasn't that expensive, so
- 48:03don't cry for me. That's the point.
- 48:07I might have left my adapter plug plugged in in the hotel
- 48:12room. I've not seen that since we got
- 48:13back. Wow.
- 48:14Those daily ladies got more than just the tip giant pile of
- 48:18boxes. In you end of tastic today guys.
- 48:25Let's get through the end of this.
- 48:26Come on now. So this was 48 flights to go.
- 48:30So this was this was my miscellaneous bits.
- 48:33These were potions off I forget who.
- 48:36You're going to have to tell me who it was.
- 48:37As Paul Zach wasn't it Paul Zach gave.
- 48:39Us those I wasn't at the table when he dropped them off was I
- 48:42and these very. Cool these little potion boxes.

- 48:49Basilius shelf. Yeah, I don't know.
- 48:52Yeah, I don't know what I'll do with them, but I'll do
- 48:53something. Then Matt Stein blessing gave us
- 48:56gifted us some patina weapons and I went with the dwarf ones,
- 49:01of course. Then the little black cotton
- 49:05bud. It was the yeah, the which I
- 49:08thought was quite a cool little thing they were doing.
- 49:10The guys who were doing the exercise stuff with with
- 49:13medieval weapons had had printed little Macy's, which is what
- 49:18that is OK for you to paint. And yeah, we're handing them out
- 49:24and that's underneath is possibly the best.
- 49:27Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's when they talk
- 49:30about exercise, and they mean that I was like, yeah, this is
- 49:32easy, guys. Check out the guns on my small
- 49:37finger. And then, so and then the best
- 49:48freebie I could have got from animal warriors of the Kingdom.
- 49:52Let's hear it. Sparrow toys we.
- 49:56Lucky I talked to you about after that.
- 49:58They were handing out posters and this axe Warhammer, whatever
- 50:03you want to call it, and it is, to be fair, it is a very cool
- 50:05Warhammer and I would have got a poster but I couldn't get it
- 50:08back, so I just said no, thank you for that.
- 50:11But yeah, OK, I am genuinely, really, it's really cool,
- 50:15genuinely. So, yeah, pleased with that.
- 50:19Awesome. I think there's.

- 50:37We're going to we're going to collide through it.
- 50:41This is Kate from Dala the she pointed out.
- 50:47It's like Oh well. And then I made a couple for
- 50:48Berardak, which is this 1 and I forget we had she'd done another
- 50:53one for. Yeah, that's like this one.
- 50:57It's just like that one flipping amazing on Berardak, so I've
- 51:01grabbed that one and then the brown one I mentioned on the
- 51:04Dwarf earlier on, which is so cool.
- 51:07Little shot T-shirts. Got a few, yeah, a lot of
- 51:12freebies again, which was very, very nice of people.

- 51:25shirt because I saw it. I was like, I want that one
- 51:31because I've bugged Pete about getting one of these.
- 51:34No, no. So John gave me his, which is
- 51:37very good, very nice, very kind. And then Matt Drake very kindly
- 51:43got us the Terrible Towel, which I mean, the Americans will know
- 51:47what that is better than we do so.
- 51:49Yeah, it's from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

- 52:05something about it with your yellow towels.
- 52:09It's it was a very nice gift he gave each of us.
- 52:11But God damn it, it did have to be the weekend that the Steelers
- 52:14played the commanders who I followed and dealers win by a
- 52:17point. Yeah.
- 52:17Yeah, by a point. Suddenly.
- 52:20Trevor lunch box and calendar last.
- 52:23But not least Trevor's lunch box and the calendar Which.
- 52:27Yeah, Trevor's lunch box. That's the secret of the
- 52:33calendar, Trevor's lunch box. Lunch box is in the is in the
- 52:37noise. There's no pictures of Trevor's
- 52:40lunch box in the calendar. There's a blue hang on the
- 52:43Trevor's lunch box. Trevor's lunch box is
- 52:47appropriately blue and very small and compact, and he should
- 52:52be very proud of it. And then the calendar is is.
- 52:55Yeah, the calendar is amazing, isn't it?
- 52:57So. Yeah.
- 52:58It is indeed. Yeah, right.
- 53:00Rich, where should we go from here?
- 53:03I don't know. I'm going to take longer the
- 53:05mile. I think I know.
- 53:06Expand on. His shall we shall we do a few
- 53:09pictures from the gun maybe just to break things up.
- 53:12Yeah, break up, absolutely. So here's here's some pictures
- 53:15from the console. Rich sent them over.
- 53:17I tried to put them in a bit of order.
- 53:19I can't believe I'm smiling. That's like half past misses
- 53:22over. Here.
- 53:23And then Rich and David got in the way.
- 53:28So it's getting in the way being, yeah, look how happy
- 53:30David looks him and he and Brett just talked half an hour and a
- 53:34half, Yeah. He's just, he's just talked to
- 53:36Brett Studdard for an hour and a half.
- 53:37Why would he be laughing? Why wouldn't he be happier?
- 53:41He's even getting Yeah, I lost. Him outside again.
- 53:44I lost him about 25 minutes after his photograph was taken
- 53:46before collapsing into bed. Right, we got the horseman at
- 53:50intern. Some of the horsemen, not the
- 53:52actual horsemen, some of the I couldn't.
- 53:54Resist getting a picture of Mr. Garrich dressed as a pharaoh.
- 53:57Eating sandwich. Had I been a touch quicker,
- 54:00though, Just before this was taken, George and Diego both
- 54:03pretended to bite his sandwich at the same time.
- 54:06That could have been an amazing picture, but I was just, I was,
- 54:08I was just too slow on the intake.
- 54:10But I got George smiling, so that's pretty good.
- 54:12Yeah, they're laughing. I didn't have British man.
- 54:16I didn't manage to get their autographs on me flipping
- 54:20exclusive so I don't know how I'm going to do that, but one
- 54:23day I will do. Flatten the box and bring it
- 54:25with you next year. That'll be too Aussie.
- 54:29Yeah, he's literally. Just broken down a sweat there
- 54:33there's. Me being told by Jim what to do.
- 54:38I think you're trying to convince Jim that backwards is
- 54:40the best way to have the boxes and he wasn't buying it.
- 54:44No, we had a great chat, as I said, telling them all about
- 54:48where I came from and chatting to him about his career and his
- 54:53plans. So it was.
- 54:55It was great chatting. Jim is such a nice man.
- 54:58Yeah, really cool. This is some joy, Some joy at
- 55:04the con. I was, I was, I don't know what
- 55:08miles, but I was delirious at this point.
- 55:10It was like snake men. Snake men is like.
- 55:11And the go behind, the go behind wasn't too impressed, was he?
- 55:14No, I don't. Know what that is?
- 55:16But he doesn't look that. Bothered.
- 55:17Oh, here we are. Photo.
- 55:18I mean, what is this? I think that was Paul, Zach, the
- 55:21two. There's nobody in that photo
- 55:23that looks well, to be honest. But we know, I'm not sure
- 55:26really. I'm not sure what happened
- 55:28there, but everyone just like. I guess it was just in between
- 55:33reveals, you know, be better. I think we're trying to read the
- 55:36screen which. Is, I think that's what it is,
- 55:38Yeah. Yeah.
- 55:38So everyone's got the concentrating face on.
- 55:40Yeah. AKA miserable.
- 55:42Yeah, I can see people there are also concentrating behind This
- 55:46Is Us doing a tribute to Noah in in Turkey, Mike.
- 55:50I looked in this photo we're supposed.
- 55:53To look bad. Dude.
- 55:54Yeah, you look fine, dude. Don't worry about it.
- 55:58Yeah, so this is a tribute to a photograph.
- 56:00Set for the pasty right legs. We we went to Jersey Mike's
- 56:04after G Con and car sandwich and Noah was with us last year.
- 56:11We went Uber this year because everyone was busy and we were
- 56:15on. Gracious for his other friends.
- 56:17That's fair enough. He doesn't get to see them all
- 56:20year and he does a podcast with them.
- 56:21So I very teasing. I know.
- 56:24Yeah. But we we decided to still
- 56:26include him by doing that tribute to the photo he took
- 56:28last year of us minus Rich, because Rich had to take the
- 56:31photo. We could have got the guys to
- 56:32take the photo, but they would have thought we were giant
- 56:34weirdos. They already thought we were
- 56:36weird enough. Yeah, they.
- 56:38Did the fact that we weren't just blurting out our order
- 56:40immediately the minute we walked in the door was already a bit
- 56:44weird to them? Yeah, the little snake man.
- 56:50From the night. Before, yeah, this was there the
- 56:53night before, was it? Yeah, it was in the.
- 56:55Back of timeline, yeah. Yeah.
- 56:57So they they put all after G Con, they put the the lizard
- 57:00temple thing up with all the figures on and then at the back
- 57:03they had this little cut out on with the with an Indian infantry
- 57:07in there, which we didn't know was called an Indian imagery at
- 57:10that point. Yeah, we just thought I.
- 57:11Think, I think it was. Dylan told me that it was there.
- 57:13So I sort of ran around to see what was there and it's like,
- 57:15oh, hello, yeah. So all wolfies is now known.
- 57:20This is 1. Of the coolest pictures, we
- 57:22already posted this but. I yeah, I was, I was so excited.
- 57:27I came out of the room with the Union infantry in my hand and
- 57:30saw Eric talking to somebody and extremely rudely interrupted
- 57:33their conversation, gave my phone to the other the command
- 57:36Eric was talking to so take a picture of me and Eric and just
- 57:40grabbed Eric. And he's such a pro.
- 57:43I mean, that smile does not look like he's just been kind of.
- 57:46Yeah, manhandled by some strange European.
- 57:48Yeah, yeah. I was just thinking like this
- 57:51guy. You probably just told him
- 57:54that's better than the day he got married and stuff, So, you
- 57:57know, of course he's laughing. We don't mean that, Mrs. Jones.
- 58:03Then we're at the table. There's Stevo getting some
- 58:06riches, people. This is probably my most proud
- 58:09moment in life. Never mind like, you know,
- 58:11graduating university, getting married, any of that nonsense.
- 58:14This point. I sold a piece of art to Stevo.
- 58:18He paid $1.00 for a picture of mine.
- 58:20Oh yeah, he wanted to make your. Actual there I am landing.
- 58:23Oh, there he is giving me the money.
- 58:25So yeah, I'm now a professional artist.
- 58:26He insisted on paying. I remember that now, yeah.
- 58:30I believe I have doubts. I've started after legions can't
- 58:34have doubts about listeners and friends and some of them I would
- 58:39consider and their taste but. They have great taste.
- 58:44Great taste. They just, they just know high
- 58:47quality art when they see it Mal.
- 58:49So here's Borderland guys. Yes, this is Ben McCall from
- 58:53Borderland Board. Yeah, there's 2 bands.
- 58:56This is at first Ben and he when the con started he had this
- 59:01really cool snake man bigger coincidentally.
- 59:06And he was like oh I think the size of me a red hellion.
- 59:08You know, any chance you could write a bio for him?
- 59:10And I was like yeah yeah yeah. And then the start of the Sunday
- 59:13said to me he's like if it doesn't sell, you can have that.
- 59:16And I was like well hopefully for you it does sell and
- 59:18hopefully for me it doesn't and it does didn't.
- 59:20So therefore it's now. Was that the one you snuck over
- 59:23to hide when they were gone? Just moved behind there, she
- 59:29gave. It he gave it, I don't know it,
- 59:31No, I don't know how it didn't sell.
- 59:33Hidden behind all the other stuff all day.
- 59:35So it's going to be my red Hellion Master of Tongues.
- 59:39Oh, and it'd be the translator for the group.
- 59:42That's what she said. Here is got another getting.
- 59:46Another listener. Yeah.
- 59:49Look how smiley and proud Scott is getting those two.
- 59:52Look at him. It's yeah, I just got you're
- 59:56amazing. Here's rich with the cosplayers
- 1:00:02and simple tricks and nonsense Novian Lean.
- 1:00:05Another situation where he just ran over to people went I'm.
- 1:00:08Going to get a photo. It was another situation that
- 1:00:10did that. Yeah, it's.
- 1:00:12Just after I got the photo as well and she's Calian.
- 1:00:15Amazing cosplay. I mean, Novian leans.
- 1:00:18Yeah, the costumes, but I had to get a picture with them, so I
- 1:00:22also have a picture with them. So incredible.
- 1:00:26This is the other band from Borderland.
- 1:00:28It is. And we did a, we did a hostage
- 1:00:30hostage exchange. So he gave me one of his
- 1:00:34customs. I gave him one of the customs I
- 1:00:36was selling. It was a happy exchange.
- 1:00:39So he got a skeleton one from me and I got a really cool goblin
- 1:00:42who I'm going to use as a goblin demon Summer.
- 1:00:45Uh, brilliant. So that was that was really cool
- 1:00:47to do that sword, Yeah. He does look like you're holding
- 1:00:50a mustard there. He does a little bit.
- 1:00:53Another hostage here is. The yeah, I've no idea who this
- 1:00:56lady was dressed as the the orc, but it was a very cool question.
- 1:00:58Oh, that. Wasn't the simple tricks guys in
- 1:01:01their other? No.
- 1:01:02No. I'm not sure if this was I I'm,
- 1:01:05I'm not I'm. Let's.
- 1:01:11Let's not speculate. Yeah.
- 1:01:12This was somebody dressed as an orc.
- 1:01:13If someone knows who that was, they should let us know.
- 1:01:16I think that's the best. Here is Rich Byrne.
- 1:01:19He's his last. Let's not spoil it.
- 1:01:23Let's not spoil it. But yes, this was I was I was
- 1:01:27greeting from here to again. Oh.
- 1:01:31OK, sorry, shouldn't have asked that.
- 1:01:33No, no, that's fine. It's something like Israel.
- 1:01:37Yes, he's another race. You you said?
- 1:01:40Yeah, he's. Yeah, his stuff.
- 1:01:42His stuff is bonkers. He's another race, yeah.
- 1:01:44Yeah, is it Israel? Israel, Israel OP Major
- 1:01:49Majorada, I apologise, he's listening.
- 1:01:51I'm just butchered that name. But he does like amazing, like
- 1:01:54amazing making customs and then just some crazy stuff.
- 1:01:58And this is quite frankly the craziest.
- 1:02:00He had another custom there which was just too big for me,
- 1:02:03but it was, it was a Brontos, but it was, it was scaled up
- 1:02:06much, much bigger than it had gun platforms on its shoulders
- 1:02:09with dwarfs firing these guns. Oh, my God, Yeah.
- 1:02:13I mean, it wasn't too big for you.
- 1:02:14It was just too big for you to get home.
- 1:02:16Oh. Yeah, sorry.
- 1:02:17Yes, just to clarify that, yeah. Yeah, yeah, You would have got
- 1:02:20it if you, like, lived down the road in New Jersey.
- 1:02:22Yeah. This is the winner of one of our
- 1:02:25giveaways, which was the The Cosmic.
- 1:02:28Yeah, his name was Patrick Mills, I believe.
- 1:02:31There you go, there's Patrick. I was trying.
- 1:02:33I knew I got his first name but. Yes, like I was a better.
- 1:02:37Memory than me. Stopped him getting in Lift
- 1:02:39basically to get his surname again.
- 1:02:41Yeah, not best behaviour, but it was like, dude, what's your
- 1:02:44surname? There he goes.
- 1:02:47There's Patrick. Yeah, he came with the.
- 1:02:50I think that's the two diamonds, if I remember well.
- 1:02:52So yeah, I'm still wondering who missed out with the other cards,
- 1:02:57but they obviously just lost it and forgot.
- 1:02:59They lost it all, just didn't come back the second day for
- 1:03:01some reason. Yeah, I'm looking.
- 1:03:03I'm looking like the second day, Allegiance gone there stuff.
- 1:03:08Then we had Cornboy coming to visit.
- 1:03:10Yeah, Cornboy, looking at my stuff.
- 1:03:11I had to get a picture that he's like, he's picking up something
- 1:03:13that was on my side of the table.
- 1:03:15Click. And then, more importantly, he
- 1:03:17was on my side. He was, yes.
- 1:03:20And I gave him our two head scopes, asked him if he still
- 1:03:25the paints a bit and he said he does.
- 1:03:26So I said if you ever have time for your own enjoyment, take the
- 1:03:31scopes. Wasn't going to force him to buy
- 1:03:34them. So it's awesome.
- 1:03:37Just happy to. Being a horseman, isn't it?
- 1:03:40Yeah, I think, I think you think, yeah, if we can give
- 1:03:42anyone free stuff, it's the Horseman.
- 1:03:44Yeah, for sure. So it was great to meet Eric and
- 1:03:48obviously he did a Stinger for us as well.
- 1:03:50So you heard that last. I don't know, on the page on the
- 1:03:53religious con episode, so 2 episodes ago the audio one right
- 1:04:00one of vans many cosplays. Yes, this was the most
- 1:04:03terrifying cosplay I saw the entire weekend, so I had to get
- 1:04:06photographed. It was like the street in how he
- 1:04:08made as well. Yeah, yes, he's dressed as a
- 1:04:13raccoon in dungarees and. He's got a Billy Beige hat on
- 1:04:18him so. Yeah, it's just terrifying.
- 1:04:22Crazy me with the enablers and you rich this yes, this is just
- 1:04:27I mean the custom. Yeah, just after you've thrown
- 1:04:29the arrow on the floor and stamped on it, you know, then
- 1:04:33Joe's trying to smile his tears, but he's trying to smile.
- 1:04:37But yeah, look at that. Those handsome men and us too
- 1:04:44from the My Wife's going to Kill Me show.
- 1:04:47This picture has had a couple of memes already.
- 1:04:50It's such a big dog and Travis with us.
- 1:04:53And then blowing your bubbles at Travis.
- 1:04:56There's crotch on crotch action there, that's why my face looks
- 1:04:58like that. Yeah.
- 1:05:01Yeah, yeah. I'm.
- 1:05:02I'm talking to your hands. Apparently it's currently.
- 1:05:04Talking to Travis ass. He.
- 1:05:07Mouths like groin grinding him and and you're blowing, blowing
- 1:05:11on his ass, John. He had a great time at that
- 1:05:13point, basically. Yeah, and there's still Zilla's
- 1:05:17behind us, enjoying the fun. Yeah, wondering what's going on.
- 1:05:23Right. And then we get into some
- 1:05:24customs that you saw. Yeah, this was this was a really
- 1:05:27cool figure on the Immortal collection table next.
- 1:05:30Door I've been seeing this one. It's.
- 1:05:31I think it only came out the second.
- 1:05:32Yeah, I think it only came out the second day, which is why I
- 1:05:35had to get a picture of it sort of thing.
- 1:05:36I just like, walked past go. Oh my God, that's amazing.
- 1:05:38It's a goblin pirate and like an incredible goblin pirate.
- 1:05:42Yeah. So snapped a picture of that.
- 1:05:46That another great use of the Harley code, actually, Or this
- 1:05:49one. Yeah, I remember this one.
- 1:05:51Yeah, this one. So this was future Customs I
- 1:05:56think, or something like that. The name they did some past
- 1:06:00Future Past custom. Thank you.
- 1:06:03They did some amazing MOTU themed stuff last year.
- 1:06:06I think I was waxing lyrical about it on the show.
- 1:06:09And then he had two incredible Egyptian themed customs, this
- 1:06:12sort of undead priest one, and then another one, this
- 1:06:15crocodilium one, you'll see in a minute.
- 1:06:18And I was chatting to him, I think it before Friday, before
- 1:06:21the show opened on the Friday night, saying, oh, you are you
- 1:06:24going to be selling these? And he's like, well, some things
- 1:06:27I'll sell, but probably not this one.
- 1:06:29I was like, OK, So what if, you know, if you do decide to sell
- 1:06:31it, you know, you've got somebody interested here.
- 1:06:33And he's like, oh, yeah, you're the second person that said
- 1:06:35that. And then I went back the next
- 1:06:36day and obviously the first person who got there before me
- 1:06:38and it had gone, which was good, good for my wallet.
- 1:06:42But it's such a good custom. It's it's got like, I mean, I've
- 1:06:46I think I've got pretty much all the pieces.
- 1:06:48If I wanted to to, you know, attempt to do it myself, I
- 1:06:51wouldn't do this well, but yeah, it's got like spawn the spawn
- 1:06:56Pharaoh line bits and bobs some. Planetary Domino's pieces, isn't
- 1:07:00it? Maybe.
- 1:07:01I could do potentially, yeah, but no, just a fabulous custom.
- 1:07:04But it had gone. Another skeleton.
- 1:07:07Of Samurai. This, yeah, this This was Jeremy
- 1:07:10Gerard Samurai. Necronominus see that one on
- 1:07:14his? Yeah, one of the best customs I
- 1:07:18saw the whole weekend. I think it's incredible.
- 1:07:19It's got like the the sort of bone fan type thing coming out
- 1:07:23from behind the back with the bone wings and it's just an
- 1:07:27incredible figure. So his his whole display of
- 1:07:31samuraisers. Bone wings for sale at some
- 1:07:33stage at the weekend, because I've seen people with bone
- 1:07:35wings. Oh, did they?
- 1:07:37Why I must have blast? Or else they were the new ones.
- 1:07:40I don't know that they just happened to have early samples
- 1:07:44of they did anyway, don't know. Correct me if I'm wrong if
- 1:07:47anyone but I'm pretty sure they had.
- 1:07:50Someone said they had bone wings there for stage.
- 1:07:53Yeah, he had the, he had like the swords through his body and
- 1:07:56everything sort of thing. It was an amazing figure.
- 1:07:58And this was Future Past. The same guy.
- 1:08:01Yes, again, I think it had gone. Yeah, it had gone when I went
- 1:08:05past, but an amazing looking figure, Planetary dog toy parts
- 1:08:09again and just yeah, such a good figure.
- 1:08:11But if I bought both of those, it would cost me an arm and a
- 1:08:13leg. So it's.
- 1:08:14Gorgeous look at this. This was the fish and chips in
- 1:08:18that the pub. One of the best fish and chips
- 1:08:20I've ever eaten in my entire life.
- 1:08:22And he's from UK. So yes, so the.
- 1:08:25Fish was just insane. It was so good.
- 1:08:28The batter was perfect, the fish was amazing, the tartar sauce
- 1:08:32was gorgeous. I had fish and chips twice
- 1:08:35whilst we were there so. I almost had it twice, I liked
- 1:08:39it so much the first time. There you go.
- 1:08:41So that's if you go next year, the you can guarantee bring a
- 1:08:44few extra dollars for the pub and the food because it's
- 1:08:47excellent. That's really good.
- 1:08:50And this was at the end of thing and I think we both needed a
- 1:08:53hug. I have no idea what was going on
- 1:08:55at this point. I remember hugging you, yeah,
- 1:08:58but I can't remember why. But I know I look like I'm doing
- 1:09:02a good job consoling in this one job.
- 1:09:03I think it was, yeah, just pure tiredness.
- 1:09:06And yeah, yeah, one thing I think, I think that was when
- 1:09:09they said that it was still an hour to go or something.
- 1:09:14Oh my God, I love it. I love it.
- 1:09:19Right. So as you did a lot of the talk
- 1:09:22in there, Rich, why don't I bring up some my hall photos
- 1:09:26because it's less than yours as well.
- 1:09:29First, these two. We're going to end the show with
- 1:09:33Rich still talking. Custom from Eugene.
- 1:09:35It's not my fault I have a problem.
- 1:09:38The custom from Eugene, as Mel said, he very genuinely gifted.
- 1:09:43He did a customs in tribute to all of us.
- 1:09:46There's some cool little Easter eggs for each of us in the
- 1:09:50customs that we maybe have to talk about in a later episode,
- 1:09:53but overall just really cool really well painted.
- 1:09:57I mean the the figure itself and the head fantastic.
- 1:10:02So love this. So going to, I'm going to
- 1:10:06definitely keep that in my collection, obviously, and
- 1:10:10cherish it. So that's that one.
- 1:10:13And I also got a couple of heads.
- 1:10:16So that's the head from Eric Miller.
- 1:10:18This is not the greatest photo of that head, so apologies Eric.
- 1:10:22It looks even better than that in person.
- 1:10:24But yeah, very, very cool. And he gifted that to me.
- 1:10:32Funny story. I was down on the ground doing
- 1:10:33something when when he came up with this.
- 1:10:36I just saw his shoes and the kind of general shape of him and
- 1:10:40I thought it was Anthony how seal trying to give me something
- 1:10:43and I it was set up night kind of leave me alone.
- 1:10:46Anthony looked up at his poor Eric trying to give me that for
- 1:10:51free. So that was crazy.
- 1:10:54So thank you, Eric, and apologies for the
- 1:10:57misunderstanding. And then this fox, Cosmic Fox
- 1:11:02was from David Williams. So I got that from David.
- 1:11:05So it was really cool. We did a swap.
- 1:11:07So he he got ahead from me and I took this from him.
- 1:11:11So that was pretty cool. And so I have to find a figure
- 1:11:18for that for the chef and again for the leprechaun.
- 1:11:24This is the 3D stuff. I got a good bit of it, I think
- 1:11:28most of it. And so you see a selection of
- 1:11:31stuff there from Borderland. Could be the stuff down there in
- 1:11:36the bottom left from them, including that frog with the
- 1:11:39backpack. Can't wait to paint that.
- 1:11:42Just such a fun piece in the middle there.
- 1:11:45I got the sculpts from Eric Miller, a couple of his.
- 1:11:50What are they? Kind of troll giant kind of.
- 1:11:54They're not troll scale legions, but you know troll kind of that
- 1:11:58yeah, a bunch of dwarf parts from Anthony has seen the toy
- 1:12:03forge weapons and a couple of other heads and pieces cosmics
- 1:12:09that I think they're the gun and stuff capes from Darren Ackerman
- 1:12:13got a couple of them couple of different of those.
- 1:12:17I think they're Tissel torn kind of capes and that's Berkeley one
- 1:12:22that I'm going to have to try and find the use for in cosmic.
- 1:12:25I just really liked it. Got a crab to do and from Brian
- 1:12:31C so can't wait to do that one. Try and do something different
- 1:12:37to Brian. Has done a lot of the colours to
- 1:12:40try and figure out what colours. I think you should do your
- 1:12:45unovian lean paint job on the crap.
- 1:12:47Yeah, maybe. Yeah, maybe.
- 1:12:50I think also some sort of iridescent paint would be good
- 1:12:56on the crap, wouldn't it? The blue sword?
- 1:13:00A lot of people that came to the table might have got one of
- 1:13:02those. Uh, Stephen Delator did those
- 1:13:04for us to give away at the table.
- 1:13:08So we did and kept one for myself, of course.
- 1:13:11Why not? And bunch of heads I got there
- 1:13:13from Noah as well, and so that was really nice.
- 1:13:17And then a bunch of his stuff I got from Wolf King did the
- 1:13:24pre-order and Len even stuck a couple of freebies in there as
- 1:13:27usual because Len is awesome. And a few other heads there that
- 1:13:32I can't remember exactly where they're from.
- 1:13:33Paul's customs, a good few of them has got all his pig heads
- 1:13:37that I'm aren't in the picture, but I'm already kind of working
- 1:13:42on customs for those fun fun. So look out for some of those.
- 1:13:49The Terrible Towel of course got that as well.
- 1:13:52The Nova orange from Chris James, he picked that up for a
- 1:13:55smile as well. He got it those the skeleton and
- 1:13:59the dwarfs. That's a mouse pads from Trevor
- 1:14:03and so. Very cool.
- 1:14:05I don't need this many mouse pads but it's nice to have them.
- 1:14:10My desk now has two mythic legions.
- 1:14:12Mouse pads are a mythic and a cosmetics person just on top of
- 1:14:15each other. I don't want it for extra
- 1:14:17comfort. And the little Dragons, I got
- 1:14:20one. I got three of those from Darla
- 1:14:23for my wife one, and my kids one each.
- 1:14:27So I didn't manage to take. I want to take a little group
- 1:14:29photo of them, but I couldn't track the kids down in time to
- 1:14:34get theirs. They put them in their chef
- 1:14:35somewhere. And yeah, I forgot I got one of
- 1:14:38them as well. Very, very cool.
- 1:14:41And and then obviously the lunch box from Trevor as well.
- 1:14:44The calendar from Trevor, the coloring book from Dusty.
- 1:14:49I've got two of those as well, one for one for the kids as
- 1:14:52well. And the awesome coin that you
- 1:14:55got at the Cabal table. So that was very, very cool.
- 1:15:01And I have the one from last year as well.
- 1:15:03And they got an extra one of these holder things for it.
- 1:15:06So very nice. The torches from Brian Lynn
- 1:15:13Carver customs. And so that's what this picture
- 1:15:17is about. And also, of course, the ninja
- 1:15:20infantry of courtesy so did this.
- 1:15:23So this picture is pretty much lit completely with the torches.
- 1:15:27I just have like a lamp on. It's just taken on the phone
- 1:15:31now. So it's not not a Trevor set up
- 1:15:34at all, but Eric. It's just a lamp on kind of to
- 1:15:38the left of the picture. And it's not that strong.
- 1:15:41So most of the lights from the torches.
- 1:15:43So they're pretty cool little LE DS in them and they do have
- 1:15:48cables, but they're very easy to Photoshop out if you have any
- 1:15:51sort of you know, even I'm sure editors that you can get to do
- 1:15:56on your phone can easily just remove the cables these days and
- 1:16:00fit in the background. So and if you place them as
- 1:16:04well, you know, even if you take more time to place them, you
- 1:16:07won't even need to edit out much.
- 1:16:11So then the pins, this is not the greatest picture of the
- 1:16:17pins, but yeah, last year's pin set that I didn't get, so I'm
- 1:16:22only missing now really that my wife's going to kill me Guys set
- 1:16:27that. That was just because of the
- 1:16:29queuing issue that year was they were very hard to pick up.
- 1:16:33And this year and last year's and then a couple of pins.
- 1:16:35I think I got a couple more, but they're kind of still among some
- 1:16:39of the figures that I haven't fully sorted out either.
- 1:16:43Obviously neighbors pin, darker pin and the just shove it and
- 1:16:46Ackerman pins and the Cabal collector pin from Legions gun
- 1:16:5024. So that was a cool one to pick
- 1:16:52up. I have that in a different
- 1:16:54color. I think they come from wolf King
- 1:16:56or Wolf King ranges them. So I guess it's the same old
- 1:17:02like Hugh Matt Stein gave us a shield and sword in his patina
- 1:17:07and Paul Zach with the potion bottles.
- 1:17:10So very awesome. And last slide but not least.
- 1:17:16So a couple of weapons we got from is Ramirez.
- 1:17:21He was given them away through his buddy from the Armory.
- 1:17:26What is that called? JJS is army or something?
- 1:17:31I remember by yeah, I included them in my pictures as well.
- 1:17:34I forget who did them for him, but yeah, it's very cool.
- 1:17:38And I got a couple of postcards from Thomas Belay.
- 1:17:41I got some of them as well, completely forgot about them.
- 1:17:44And this one actually uses the head that he bought off me last
- 1:17:48year. So the previous legions can.
- 1:17:50Yeah, very cool. So you actually gave me that one
- 1:17:52for free. And they got two more as well
- 1:17:54that are in the pack there. And those other two pictures are
- 1:17:57fridge magnets I got from Dusty. So that's, they're really cool.
- 1:18:03The Headless Horseman and the Novi Lean.
- 1:18:05And then that's a selection of stickers that I got and some of
- 1:18:08those things lanyards Len lanyard.
- 1:18:14What are they called? Yeah, yeah, see this is how much
- 1:18:20we knew ribbons, ribbons, ribbons.
- 1:18:23Yeah. So I got a cool ones one from
- 1:18:25Brett. I think this tidy 1 and I was
- 1:18:29going to kill me the just shove it ones the enablers and no
- 1:18:35one's anything possible to like culprits borderland toward.
- 1:18:40I didn't go actively looking for them.
- 1:18:42So these are ones that people just kind of gave us.
- 1:18:46They were going past, which is really cool and Mal got a bunch
- 1:18:50more no. Well, bit of a funny story about
- 1:18:53the ribbons. And on my picture of the
- 1:18:58exclusives, you'll see that Gaspar has the purple figure
- 1:19:05that he's holding as the purple figure that he's holding.
- 1:19:10And George was going round handing them out in exchange
- 1:19:14for, you know, if you gave him something, you got one of them
- 1:19:17on the Saturday. But he walked past and I've gone
- 1:19:20to chat to Anthony and Matt just, you know, as you do
- 1:19:24socializing and he walked past. It was like, anyone got any
- 1:19:27ribbons? Anyone got any ribbons?
- 1:19:29And because Anthony was busy with the customer, I grabbed
- 1:19:32Anthony's ribbon, gave it to George, and then George handed
- 1:19:35me one of these and he was like this gift for a gift for the
- 1:19:39thing. And I was like, oh shit.
- 1:19:43And of course he was gone very quickly.
- 1:19:45And then Anthony had finished her customer.
- 1:19:46And I had to say to auntie, I was like, George just gave me
- 1:19:51this for your ribbon. So Anthony got like quickly
- 1:19:55walked up to grab George and was like, George, that was my ribbon
- 1:19:59that you've just given. So, George, you can't.
- 1:20:03Trust the foreigners, Can you? It's like I just felt so guilty
- 1:20:07that I'd just been given something for someone else.
- 1:20:10Yeah, it got. It got sorted, it was just fun.
- 1:20:12George for some stickers from our table, so you know.
- 1:20:16Yeah, Yeah. Well, I'd have got it if I'd
- 1:20:18stayed at our table, wouldn't I? I missed out on the the T-shirt,
- 1:20:23the the gas bar T-shirt. Let's.
- 1:20:26Do that one. Yeah, of the little mini
- 1:20:28T-shirt. Yeah, oh, that little figure
- 1:20:30T-shirt. Oh yeah.
- 1:20:31Yeah, so if anyone's got spare. Where, where?
- 1:20:34Where did they go? Was he given them away or what?
- 1:20:36Yeah, I think he was giving them out some point during the whole
- 1:20:39time. But yeah, Gaspar is what is it
- 1:20:42does dislikes amusement. Is that what it says on here?
- 1:20:45I forget what it Yeah. Gutted a miss that that Alf.
- 1:20:49I've got another Alf that needs a T-shirt.
- 1:20:53You and your Alfs. Oh, this was one more thing.
- 1:20:56I got the wine stopper. I got this one, the dragon and
- 1:20:59the record going. It's actually one point O scale
- 1:21:02or I think it's interesting. So which is really cool.
- 1:21:06I guess they just chose to do that size because the ogre scale
- 1:21:10would have been too big for the wine Topper.
- 1:21:13These are really quite big. The wine bottle struggles to fit
- 1:21:16in the fridge with these on so be tricky and I'm a bigger
- 1:21:20fridge jump but they're so cool and I did get an Atlas as well
- 1:21:24because none Atlas Attila and because it had the Lionhead and
- 1:21:30I thought I would find that cool with the line I.
- 1:21:32I got the snag one I'd had, yeah, paid for the stand as well
- 1:21:37to. Oh yeah, you can get the little
- 1:21:38stands if you don't want to use them as wine stops so.
- 1:21:41Well, that's a good idea. I didn't know that.
- 1:21:43Yeah, because of course not everyone would would find a
- 1:21:46practical use for them as wine stuff.
- 1:21:48So yeah. And I'd got the skeleton from
- 1:21:50last year and the Balaam, so I'll definitely.
- 1:21:54Buy more of them next year, I'll remember them.
- 1:21:56Next year, yeah. Yeah, they're good.
- 1:21:58They're not. If they come with stands I might
- 1:22:00grab pick a couple up there as well.
- 1:22:02I'll show you after the show. Right, shall we get on to let's
- 1:22:09do your whole rich as quickly as we can.
- 1:22:12Cool, I just got a rubbish drink as the the viewers are the same.
- 1:22:17Thank you, Mal. Yeah, I figured.
- 1:22:19I know he's speaking a lot now, so just say wet the whistle.
- 1:22:22Shall we we we need an maybe. We need an intro for for for
- 1:22:26your. We need somebody to introduce
- 1:22:30this section and say who do we want?
- 1:22:33Do we want Thomas Ballet? Maybe.
- 1:22:36Yes. We go for Thomas.
- 1:22:39Yes. Better put the sound up first.
- 1:22:41There we go. There you go, Thomas.
- 1:22:43This is Thomas Ballet at T Ballet.
- 1:22:46You're listening to the Euro Legions podcast.
- 1:22:49There you go, Rich, Take it away.
- 1:22:53OK, so it was a cold, dusky morning.
- 1:22:58I was in Leeds. No, I'm not.
- 1:23:00I'm not going to Steve Bashot in the whole thing.
- 1:23:07Yes, so you guys know that I'm ever so slightly obsessed with
- 1:23:11sethropod sculpts and characters.
- 1:23:16I've got I've got myself a little cosmic crew.
- 1:23:19Well, I have now the Legion's. Gone the scumbags of the Galaxy,
- 1:23:23no? These are not no, these are the
- 1:23:24oh God, I remember the call the Seth something rather the
- 1:23:29factions called, but this was a New York City figure fusion KET.
- 1:23:36I apologise if I get the name wrong.
- 1:23:37KET in or key in. Oh yeah, I see.
- 1:23:40Him posting on the. Really cool stuff.
- 1:23:43And he did this like patina version.
- 1:23:45So this is just a robotic cephalopod head on a I'm
- 1:23:49presuming a sentry body, but to me it looks like a really battle
- 1:23:53hardened, well worn robotic soldier sort of thing.
- 1:23:56So I just had to get that for my display looks.
- 1:23:58Great, Yeah. Could fit in with the with that
- 1:24:01wasteland Star Wars even kind of style, you know?
- 1:24:04Yeah. And then the one on the right is
- 1:24:08again from from him as well, just a really creepy looking
- 1:24:12character with a it's the arm is painted to look like it's a
- 1:24:16flesh suit sort of thing that's been worn, which is creepy as
- 1:24:20hell. It's got this just one big giant
- 1:24:22hooked arm, big clawed arm, and then always like a beetle type
- 1:24:26masked head as well sort of thing.
- 1:24:28So he will be a scumbag to the Galaxy character because he's
- 1:24:32just freaky as you like. And then on the left, I got this
- 1:24:37from Brian C and it's a yeah, it's a chameleon.
- 1:24:43I love the chameleon sculpt. And then when I saw this guy,
- 1:24:47he's got like a soft good robe on the jacket on the top.
- 1:24:53Brian's painted up some of the thigh, gar beaten hands.
- 1:24:58And then obviously the chameleon had to go with it.
- 1:25:01If you don't name him Karma the Chameleon, I'm going to be
- 1:25:04disappointed. Well, I am going to name him
- 1:25:08that now. Yeah.
- 1:25:15So. So.
- 1:25:16So this was it. I said I'd buy no more than
- 1:25:17three custom figures at Legions Con.
- 1:25:19So there's the three. Oh.
- 1:25:30And the rest and the rest, yeah. So the left hand side is similar
- 1:25:35to Mal 1 of Brian Sees Crab Folk.
- 1:25:38It's such a good set of parts and that sort of thing.
- 1:25:40So yeah, loads of weapons and that sorts of I love what he did
- 1:25:44there. So that one.
- 1:25:45And then the figure on the right is the one that I swapped with
- 1:25:49Ben from Borderland Horde. So this is my goblin demons
- 1:25:52similar because he's got this just weird triangle across his
- 1:25:54face which is just freaky. The second Ben we we saw in the
- 1:26:01pictures. It is, I can't remember his
- 1:26:02surname, Ben Mccall's a tall one.
- 1:26:04And then there's another Ben who's surname I can't remember,
- 1:26:07sorry. Ben.
- 1:26:09The left picture is a lizard man.
- 1:26:12This is on a Moti Revelations or something similar, Moss man body
- 1:26:17and then one of the Jason Rodriguez heads.
- 1:26:20So it's he's painted it, you know, it's like an Aztec type
- 1:26:23feel to it. So I've got my maze tech faction
- 1:26:26in mythics. So this fits in with that and
- 1:26:28Corey was selling it for a really good price.
- 1:26:30So Corey Shorts and Hoffer. I love what Corey does.
- 1:26:35So I have to grab that one. And then the right hand side is
- 1:26:38the the extremely generous gift that Eugene gave to me, which is
- 1:26:42me as a red Hellion. Yeah, as a general, the general
- 1:26:46of the red hellions. So I'm going to do a back story
- 1:26:48and everything for him. It's a fabulous figure.
- 1:26:51It was funny though, as he was handing it over.
- 1:26:52He's like, I just found out the other day, you've actually got
- 1:26:54head sculpt of your own, haven't you?
- 1:26:57He's the Wolf King one. I was like, that's a great head
- 1:26:59salt. Don't worry.
- 1:26:59Yeah, it works, yeah. And it's got hair, so that's
- 1:27:02always a good thing, you know, I can't pretend.
- 1:27:07Sure, this crazy one on the left one.
- 1:27:09Yeah, this left one is absolutely bonkers.
- 1:27:12Yeah, it's it's Dirk Designs Dirt Nagle, which isn't his real
- 1:27:17name, so whatever his real name is, but yeah, it's just it's
- 1:27:22it's marvel Groot parts to it. But then there's a custom head
- 1:27:28on the top of the figure. So it's it's like a small tree
- 1:27:31man emerging from a a big tree man.
- 1:27:33So it's coming out to where the head would be.
- 1:27:34There's this torso and arms and head of a smaller tree man,
- 1:27:38which is just crazy when you put a pictures up before legions
- 1:27:41kind of the the customs he had this one just like screamed at
- 1:27:44me. So yeah, first thing, slightly
- 1:27:47more now just about. Literally screamed her.
- 1:27:50Yeah, in my dreams. It's all my nightmares, Yeah.
- 1:27:52That's what you were doing. So I ran off.
- 1:27:56And basically bought this storing to me, but you know.
- 1:28:00You're the one to talk. Let's go this.
- 1:28:03Way yeah you multi air anything Mal what?
- 1:28:06Do you mean quiet as a mouse asleep?
- 1:28:10Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right next slide on the right
- 1:28:15hand. Oh.
- 1:28:16No, on the right hand side is another customer I got from
- 1:28:20quarry This I hadn't seen this one before the con actually, but
- 1:28:24it's it's it's really good and it can work as a cosmic or a
- 1:28:27mythic 1. I think.
- 1:28:30I think it's a planetary dog toys mask.
- 1:28:32Maybe it might be something else, but it's like a demonic
- 1:28:34type mask, part of a red mask figure for the arms and hands
- 1:28:42and that sort of thing. And there's some cosmic armour
- 1:28:45parts. But then it's got some really
- 1:28:46cool weapons that again could work as cosmic or mythic.
- 1:28:50And then some really, really cool spike pauldron set.
- 1:28:54But it's one big piece that goes over the the sort of neck area.
- 1:28:57So I had to grab that and then my baby.
- 1:29:03Weirdest custom? My baby this, I'd seen this
- 1:29:08beforehand by Israel and I'd said to you guys, oh God, if
- 1:29:12that's there, I'm going to have to get this for a while.
- 1:29:17Well, I thought he said they're at table 57.
- 1:29:19So I went over to that table and there was nothing I was like, Oh
- 1:29:22well, maybe didn't maybe didn't come along whenever it turns out
- 1:29:25they're in table 87, which were outside the main room in the
- 1:29:29corridor behind. And at the very, very end of
- 1:29:32Sunday, I just, I just had a little bit of a walk to stretch
- 1:29:36my ankles a bit because my legs are swollen up at that point
- 1:29:39about. Time.
- 1:29:40For the 12th time. Yeah.
- 1:29:42And she went around the corner and saw this and my face
- 1:29:44literally lit up. I don't have much do you want
- 1:29:46for it? Which probably I don't remember
- 1:29:47it as well. Oh, yeah, sorry.
- 1:29:49That's a good point. So it is a hippo dwarf Centaur.
- 1:29:55So it's a hippopotamus body with a big old dwarf.
- 1:29:59Always haunted. And head and battle axes.
- 1:30:02And it uses a Jason Rodriguez head sculpt.
- 1:30:05Pretty sure it's inspired by a Chaos Dwarf figure from
- 1:30:11Workshop, which is. I think so, yeah.
- 1:30:13Yeah. And that's why it screamed out
- 1:30:14to me, because I've got 2-3 Chaos Dwarfs anyway, So this
- 1:30:17just fits in, fits in with those perfectly.
- 1:30:20And Israel was saying that he, when he bought the file, the STL
- 1:30:23from Jason, he asked him if he could change it a little bit.
- 1:30:27So the dwarf's nose is a bit more eligated than it was in the
- 1:30:30original 1 sort of thing. So, yeah, but I love this.
- 1:30:33This is this is my baby. I said I can't remember how much
- 1:30:36you paid for it. He just, he threw a number out
- 1:30:38and I just handed the money over.
- 1:30:39I was so. Excited and I.
- 1:30:42Thought there mate, you needed to add to 0.
- 1:30:43Yeah, and I brought it home and took it out my suitcase and my
- 1:30:46wife and child, just like what the hell is that?
- 1:30:50And I was like, it's a hippo dwarf centre, what the hell is
- 1:30:52wrong with you? What you think it is?
- 1:30:55They didn't say what the hell is that, did they?
- 1:31:00No, the child wouldn't have done.
- 1:31:01She'd have been What the heck is that?
- 1:31:03And Kerry was like, what the. That, yeah.
- 1:31:07Yeah, OK, now we're clear. Yeah, right.
- 1:31:15Oh, and you still got more. Yeah, and then this, the last
- 1:31:18figure is the one that Ben McCall gave me.
- 1:31:21So this is my Master of Tongues. It's got really cool little
- 1:31:27booklet thing hanging down off the waist on a metal chain
- 1:31:32flaming sword. The neck you might not be able
- 1:31:36to see unless you zoom in listeners or viewers, but he's
- 1:31:39painted like demonic marking type things on the neck and on
- 1:31:43the shoulder pauldrons and then based on a Furious 4 body.
- 1:31:48So it's it's such a good figure and so I'm extremely happy to
- 1:31:52have that. OK painted heads, then try and.
- 1:31:55Painted heads, Yes. OK, All right.
- 1:31:59These three got from Dirk Nagle. So we have a dwarf with a
- 1:32:03ridiculously big beard, and you can't see any of his face
- 1:32:05because he's just got a helmet stuck on it.
- 1:32:08I'll find a way to make him a Templar or a Dark Templar or
- 1:32:10something, because that just works really, really well.
- 1:32:13It is great, isn't it? It's just a 10 piece.
- 1:32:14All the helmet is, and then the massive yeah coming out.
- 1:32:17Yeah, exactly. Do you imagine him just like,
- 1:32:19hold on, hold on, hold on, just like wedged in sort of thing
- 1:32:22into the helmet and you'd. Enjoy a pint after a day in that
- 1:32:26helmet. Oh, God, yes, yeah, yeah.
- 1:32:30I'm imagine he's been wearing the helmet so long that he takes
- 1:32:32off and it's like, you know, when you take meat, tinned meat
- 1:32:35out of the tin and it's just in that shape and his head just
- 1:32:38like that. It's like, you know, just I'm
- 1:32:40stuck in the shape of that now. Then we have a vampire.
- 1:32:44I'm not sure, I think in my Black Forge studios that
- 1:32:46designed it, but it's got like the lower jaws open out a bit
- 1:32:49like the ones in Blade 2. So there's that extra thing.
- 1:32:53And you guys have already seen a custom I've made with that.
- 1:32:55So I love that. And then the Jason Rodriguez
- 1:32:59reptilian Beastie thing with a headdress, which I'm going to
- 1:33:02see if I think might work on an Indian inventory.
- 1:33:05So yeah. And Dirk, Dirk had three for
- 1:33:07100, so he'd sucking me in. I was like, oh, I like that one.
- 1:33:10He's like, oh, it's three for 100.
- 1:33:11It's like, damn it. OK, then pick these up.
- 1:33:14I had three for 50, just so you know.
- 1:33:21On the left is a couple heads I picked up from KJ Smith.
- 1:33:27They were on the table with Corey.
- 1:33:31We've got a robotic pumpkin head.
- 1:33:34As as you do, I plans cosmic plans for that one.
- 1:33:40John, one of the heads you painted for me, this will be
- 1:33:42something that's hunting that character.
- 1:33:45Aw, poor thing. Yeah.
- 1:33:48And then we have a robotic kangaroo head that's really
- 1:33:51painted to match scaphoid, which is is insane.
- 1:33:54I mean, I don't even know what I'm going to do with it.
- 1:33:55But it's so cool though. Just don't have to get that.
- 1:33:58That's just I'll find something. Need to get scaffoid parts and
- 1:34:02maybe Dremel a bit and put a little kind of metal paint or
- 1:34:07something. Yeah, something like that, yeah,
- 1:34:09would work and. I have a spare scaffold, so
- 1:34:12yeah. And then the right hand side,
- 1:34:15Mark Calvo, I commissioned these before Legions Con and just
- 1:34:19picked up at Legions Con. So like Mal, I've got the clown.
- 1:34:23There's a head that's designed to be a dwarf, a temple head,
- 1:34:25but I'm going to use it as a human Templar.
- 1:34:28I think they work fine for that top right sick.
- 1:34:31Again a dwarf and king, but again I use it for a human one.
- 1:34:34And then a couple of marks own Egyptian themed ones as an
- 1:34:37Egyptian priest and an Egyptian soldier.
- 1:34:40Yeah, you were. You've been talking about these
- 1:34:42since he. I have I've been banging on
- 1:34:46about him yet so it. Was no surprise.
- 1:34:48No on the left, more pre bought stuff.
- 1:34:52So this was from Blaze Bear, so I swapped him some, yes, I
- 1:34:58swapped him some older bomb box heads and painted ones for a
- 1:35:02couple of these and then bought a couple as well.
- 1:35:04So we've got two more space cephalopods, one with the
- 1:35:07breathing apparatus and the one with an eye scanner thing.
- 1:35:11I'd love these. That's so good.
- 1:35:14Then we have a brain with spikes and one eye, which is absolutely
- 1:35:18crazy. And I particularly like the
- 1:35:20colours that blaze bright pink. Brain with one eye.
- 1:35:24I think it's I think it's a sculpt that Josh Brown Customs
- 1:35:28and Rocket Fist custom share. They tend to have the same
- 1:35:31sculpts. These are same people, but they
- 1:35:34got they got some incredible. I mean, they're both separate
- 1:35:36pods are from them as well. So it's yeah, they do some
- 1:35:39really cool innovative sculpts. And then the little blue Fishman
- 1:35:44in the middle, there is a Von Box head man, you know me and
- 1:35:48Fishman. So I had to get that on the
- 1:35:51right hand side, a couple of heads, some Cory that I actually
- 1:35:53won in the raffle. Were were they in memory of
- 1:35:56Ralph? And.
- 1:35:58I just picked those up, sort of thing.
- 1:36:01Yeah. So we've got a little spiny
- 1:36:04lizard on the pictures, terrible little spiny lizard on the
- 1:36:06right, and then a reptile with a headdress.
- 1:36:09I know, I know. On the left.
- 1:36:13Yeah. On the left hand side we have
- 1:36:16Von von Burke customs heads, so we've got that.
- 1:36:20On the the left of the two is a helmet that goes over designed
- 1:36:24to go over a skeleton head. But I think you could probably
- 1:36:26put it over a few different types of head.
- 1:36:28And this one's got like a skin mask that's attached to the
- 1:36:30front. It's scary as hell.
- 1:36:33I had to lighten the picture a bit too, so you can see the
- 1:36:35other one properly. So yeah, it doesn't look quite
- 1:36:37as gory. It does in real life.
- 1:36:39I don't tend to go for that much gore necessarily Michelle's, but
- 1:36:41this one is terrifying. Brian painted that 10.
- 1:36:46OK. They're from Brian.
- 1:36:49And then the one on the right of the of the two is one that
- 1:36:53Roberto, who's on the table with Brian, Roberto Suarez.
- 1:36:58It's something I think Brian sculpted, but he designed.
- 1:37:01It's based on a Puerto Rican demon.
- 1:37:04I don't see that one. That's very cool.
- 1:37:06Yeah, it was limited edition. I think there was like 10
- 1:37:09painted ones, about 20 unpainted ones.
- 1:37:11And that was. It you know my.
- 1:37:13Never to be seen again. You know my Von Burke's sob
- 1:37:15story. I went there at like three on
- 1:37:17Sunday or whatever, not that, not that late on Sunday and he
- 1:37:21was already gone. Yeah, lots of stuff.
- 1:37:23So he had so much stuff sold before then.
- 1:37:26He was. Yeah, no, I'm delighted for him.
- 1:37:30But I didn't realize he's getting an early flight and I
- 1:37:32was leaving a lot my purchases to kind of later on Sunday.
- 1:37:36This might shave a bit, John, that one of the reasons he left
- 1:37:38early was so you'd be home the next day when they adopted 2
- 1:37:41cats. Ah well, there you go.
- 1:37:44Always give. Him and then on the right hand
- 1:37:49side is ahead of picked. I picked up from shelf gravy,
- 1:37:52but it wasn't their thing. It was Borman photography and
- 1:37:57customs or something like that. Yes, it was it was him that
- 1:38:01painted it. So it's it's a cool little
- 1:38:04masked head and then again, this one's got blood on it, which is
- 1:38:07not a normal thing for me. But this is going to be one of
- 1:38:09my temple as a doom. Mainly cosmics so.
- 1:38:15Love this hedge from this Corey. Yeah, I think, yeah, no.
- 1:38:18It's not. It's David.
- 1:38:20So this is, yeah, this is David Williams.
- 1:38:23This woman, he was on the show with us.
- 1:38:25I bought this off him while I was chatting to him.
- 1:38:27I was messaging him going, can I have a head, please?
- 1:38:29It's like some sort of weird like Sphinx cats or the Hammer's
- 1:38:33cat breed. It's like that, but it's only
- 1:38:34got one eye and it's like a metal mask and it's just a
- 1:38:38skanky looking animal. So I grabbed that on the right.
- 1:38:44It's New York City Figure Fusion again.
- 1:38:46So the guy I got the two customs from, again, more cephalobot
- 1:38:49heads, and another one of them is half organic, half
- 1:38:54cybernetic, the one in the middle.
- 1:38:57And then we've got a fully organic one on the right and
- 1:38:59then another cybernetic pumpkin on the left there, because
- 1:39:03apparently I've got a thing for cybernetic pumpkin.
- 1:39:08Cyber Pumpkin. Obviously, I didn't buy that
- 1:39:13many painted heads. So I told you to be quick.
- 1:39:18Left. One side.
- 1:39:19Yeah, yeah, that was main thing. That's why I only bought 3
- 1:39:22custom figures at least. We know you don't lie.
- 1:39:25Yeah, so Corey Shorts and Hoffa again on the left we've got
- 1:39:30Highland cow coloured miner tall thingy.
- 1:39:34He was like all the darker ones. I think there's a better paint
- 1:39:37job. And I was like, this colour is
- 1:39:38perfect. We've got a dwarf samurai,
- 1:39:42You've got a dwarf minor with candles on his helmet.
- 1:39:45And then Corey very generously gave me the one on the right,
- 1:39:48which is like a a Knight's helmet, almost like it's got
- 1:39:50sort of chaos affliction and there's like tendrils or
- 1:39:54something growing out the side. And then on the right hand side
- 1:39:58the skeleton with a opportunity to dwarf skeleton looking at the
- 1:40:01beard that's coming out of it. And the really cool helmet is
- 1:40:04from Frank Lira. Skeletons.
- 1:40:08Frank Lear does some fantastic. Stuff he does really good stuff
- 1:40:12and I love that sculpt. So as soon as I saw it was like,
- 1:40:14yes, left hand side of the screen is the the dwarf with a
- 1:40:18huge Mohawk and the insanely long beard.
- 1:40:21Quite frankly, it's down to his toes pretty much.
- 1:40:22I can't remember the name. I think it was honeypot customs.
- 1:40:26I think he was sharing a table with Israel again.
- 1:40:30So I just went around the side and there was this amazing set
- 1:40:32of painted stuff and these amazing customs.
- 1:40:35So he's going to be a companion figure to go with my hippo Dwarf
- 1:40:38Central. I just got, you know, need a few
- 1:40:41few little bits and bobs with him.
- 1:40:43And then on the right hand side there's a couple of cosmic heads
- 1:40:46I got from Borderland painted heads.
- 1:40:48So one's like a space version of Anubis.
- 1:40:51So it's like that Anubis head, but very mechanical.
- 1:40:55And then the one on the left of that is almost like a Space
- 1:40:58Marines type sort of helmet, like a Warhammer type helmet.
- 1:41:02I think I got at least one of these.
- 1:41:03Unpainted sort should be fun. Jesus, I didn't get a lot,
- 1:41:08didn't I? On my left is the left was from
- 1:41:13Late Night LeBron. It's a Wolf King Customs sculpt
- 1:41:17and I wanted to get one to put on a grey Wolf MacFarlane
- 1:41:22figure. It comes the head it comes with
- 1:41:25is OK, but no better than that. So I wanted a crazy, crazy
- 1:41:28bearded head. So I got this and then on the
- 1:41:32right are some crazy sculpts again from Brian.
- 1:41:35Brian, See, it's stuff. It's bonkers and I love it.
- 1:41:39There's a helmet there with massive feathers coming out the
- 1:41:41back and a gold cross on a gold helmet.
- 1:41:45There's a helmet painted to match the Tusk pilot in the
- 1:41:48middle. I think you've got an unpainted
- 1:41:501, didn't you? Mall of these I.
- 1:41:51Did yeah I got the unpaid with. Breathing tubes and everything.
- 1:41:54Yeah. And then there's and then
- 1:41:56there's a six eyed dragon pirate head on the right hand side,
- 1:42:00which is the most bonkers. It's the most bonkers thing I I
- 1:42:03saw the entire time, I think. And I just like, again, I don't
- 1:42:06know what I'm going to do with it, but I mean, that's.
- 1:42:07A fun, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's just a fun.
- 1:42:10I don't think it's fun for a custom painter to have to do 6
- 1:42:13eyes on a head. The normal too.
- 1:42:15But anyway, it's a cool head. There we go.
- 1:42:19I've moved off the stuff I bought that painted.
- 1:42:21There we go. Few.
- 1:42:22Just another 10. Literally nothing.
- 1:42:24Yeah. The very generous gift from
- 1:42:27Matt, the patina weapons and some purchases from Wolf King.
- 1:42:32So there's the Wolf Pharaoh. You know me, Anything Egyptian
- 1:42:37I'm going to buy. So I had to get that.
- 1:42:39I would have had the king, the king version of this head as
- 1:42:41well, painted by a meal, which I tried to buy on Friday evening
- 1:42:45and the mofo wasn't there at his table.
- 1:42:47And when I went there first thing on Saturday morning,
- 1:42:48somebody else had bought it. So damn it.
- 1:42:51And then a couple of freebies that then chucked in as well.
- 1:42:56I got the I got the non like non king the just the normal wolf
- 1:43:01head. Oh, the normal wolf.
- 1:43:02Yeah, it's such a cool looking wolf head.
- 1:43:05It is, yeah. Yeah, Really.
- 1:43:08Customs here. Paul's Customs got this amazing
- 1:43:11lizard man wearing a dinosaur skull helmet.
- 1:43:15I've got a couple of painted that the Nicky did for me ages
- 1:43:17ago and I think this one will go down as like a a really good
- 1:43:20Sergeant or something, which John, you've very generously
- 1:43:22agreed to paint at some point in the future.
- 1:43:24I don't remember that, but you did agree.
- 1:43:26Yeah, sure, I was drunk. And then one of his pig sculpts.
- 1:43:32What I. Didn't realise is that that
- 1:43:35wasn't one of his new sculpts. I shouldn't.
- 1:43:38I've not seen it before. I think he had a similar 1, so
- 1:43:42they're the ones I've got. Yeah, again, it's it's lizard
- 1:43:46men wearing dinosaur type horns and that, but it's a different
- 1:43:48scope. OK.
- 1:43:49So this is the first time I've seen this one.
- 1:43:51Yeah. And then on the right hand side
- 1:43:55is Dwarf Lord Toy Design, I think they're called.
- 1:43:58They're sharing a table with Dirk and just some really cool
- 1:44:01sculpts. There's there's like a vampire
- 1:44:04scarecrow thing in the top in the middle again, it's a vampire
- 1:44:09scarecrow. Why don't I have one of those in
- 1:44:10Lithia's Brew? There's like a lizard reptile
- 1:44:13king thing. And the bottom head is one that
- 1:44:18I've not seen before, but I'm going to use it like a dark elf
- 1:44:20head. So it's a an elf with sort of
- 1:44:25almost like almost like antler sort of things coming out of the
- 1:44:27helmet. I don't want to use that as a
- 1:44:29dark dark elf. So yeah, some really cool heads
- 1:44:33there. Again, the freebies from Stefan,
- 1:44:38Steph, such a cool guy. So the ship and the sword, and
- 1:44:42then someone painted stuff from Borderland on the right.
- 1:44:45So we've got Salomon Charmin up close the front.
- 1:44:50I was hoping I'd see someone with a painted version that I
- 1:44:52liked the look of, and I didn't, which was a bit of a shame.
- 1:44:55They've got really cool dwarf hammer, like A1 handed Warhammer
- 1:45:00sort of thing with a big square side and then some cybernetic
- 1:45:04sea creatures at the back, which again I was hoping to see
- 1:45:06painted and nobody had them painted, so I got the unpainted
- 1:45:09ones. There's a swordfish, a shark and
- 1:45:11a hammerhead shark and then a cosmic helmet as well, which I
- 1:45:14managed to break on the way. Well, not on the way.
- 1:45:17When I was taking the photograph, I dropped it on my
- 1:45:19phone. Tell you what, the amount of
- 1:45:24things I dropped as I was trying to take photos and unfortunately
- 1:45:27nothing broke but it's like. Curse cursing me.
- 1:45:30It's like John every time. Give me the bill.
- 1:45:34Send me the bill. Left hand side toy forge.
- 1:45:38So it's the heavy gunner access kit accessories.
- 1:45:44I love what Anthony to do with these.
- 1:45:45There's a single and a double barrel.
- 1:45:47He forgot about the stuff he was selling.
- 1:45:48Yeah, I got those, Yeah. Yeah, and I got another fungi
- 1:45:54head, so he's got a new 2.0 sized fungi head.
- 1:45:56So you know me, I like my fungi heads.
- 1:45:59Yeah, well, exactly. So I picked that up and then on
- 1:46:02the right, some freebies that Corey gave me.
- 1:46:04So there's three female heads and a really called Goblin
- 1:46:07Werner. I don't know what the animal is.
- 1:46:10I thought a dog originally but I'm not sure I got sure they.
- 1:46:13Were in my picture, but we got some freebies from Mark Calvo as
- 1:46:16well at the end. Yeah, it's amazing of him.
- 1:46:18Like Mal, I got the the cyclops set from Eric Erroge.
- 1:46:24However you pronounce. Isn't that all?
- 1:46:26Thank you. Yeah.
- 1:46:26John Moore. Yeah.
- 1:46:29And then on the right was some freebies that I got from Lenny.
- 1:46:34I picked up a couple of the, you know, the chest plates with the
- 1:46:36animals bursting out. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 1:46:38Like visionary sort of style things.
- 1:46:40And then he very generously said I'll just grab a set.
- 1:46:43They're like torches and so. You didn't picture those chest
- 1:46:47plates or? No, I think I no.
- 1:46:50OK. I think I might have sent the
- 1:46:51picture through, but it might have been cut out.
- 1:46:54Things are dropped. JS Armory here.
- 1:46:56So these are those sorts, that is.
- 1:46:58That it was handing out and then it got cursed crate as well,
- 1:47:01which were next to us. I had no intention of getting
- 1:47:03this. And then the sneaky bugger got
- 1:47:05an Indian infantry and put the the green effect coming out of
- 1:47:08that. And it's like, well, I've got to
- 1:47:09get a box. Yeah, I got a different box from
- 1:47:12him. I didn't manage to fish it out
- 1:47:15to picture it, but yeah, he had cool stuff.
- 1:47:16What was his name? Really cool stuff.
- 1:47:18Can't remember Kate from Kate from Darla.
- 1:47:23She didn't have much left at all when I got finally got over to
- 1:47:25her table, No. And despite spending $20, she
- 1:47:30then announces to Curtis that apparently rich is funny in real
- 1:47:33life, unlike the show. So thanks for that, Darla.
- 1:47:38Slightly spending money with you a little different.
- 1:47:40You're not that funny in real life, but you know that's not
- 1:47:45true. I actually feel bad for saying
- 1:47:49that, because it's not. True.
- 1:47:51And then the potion bottles from Paul again, like you guys.
- 1:47:57Cool. Well, we got through this, so
- 1:48:02no, we'll just do. I have got some photos from
- 1:48:07similar to what we went through before, but a few more and
- 1:48:10that'll bring us home. How about that?
- 1:48:12So we got the Armory at intern. That was the first look.
- 1:48:16There's one of the banners. I'm not sharing that picture,
- 1:48:18John, beforehand. Yeah, Yeah.
- 1:48:20Well, I'm a good boy. Yeah.
- 1:48:22And then some from the queue. This is a Rich buying barbarian
- 1:48:26parts and Billy just wondering what the hell we're at, looking
- 1:48:31bemused. And Billy is like, Billy is
- 1:48:34actually 6 foot tall. Rich is just really tall.
- 1:48:38You see a look at my face, then this is me.
- 1:48:40Like I was being forced to buy these barbarian parts.
- 1:48:42So that's why I've got the deranged look at my face.
- 1:48:45Yes, as he put another one on his tray.
- 1:48:47There's Kent as I had Rich one side.
- 1:48:49You mean Kent the other? Maybe that's why I got such bad
- 1:48:51bills. I was distracted by these crazy
- 1:48:55guys. Can't do the laugh.
- 1:48:58There's Jordan after being the first one down the queue.
- 1:49:02Yeah, he's already bored and he just flew down.
- 1:49:05And he probably got better bills than me and Billy with a smile
- 1:49:11instead of a bemused look. So that's good.
- 1:49:14And this was at the sculpting when he walked in.
- 1:49:17You can see the lizard is still there.
- 1:49:19So that that was Eric the sculpting.
- 1:49:21This is probably the first time I've ever been in a conference
- 1:49:23room with the table that I'm actually been interested in
- 1:49:26what's going on over all the years working in the bank.
- 1:49:30I've never been as interested as I was in that that conference
- 1:49:34room. And this was the stuff he did
- 1:49:37with us. So I think this is interesting
- 1:49:39because these kind of don't get really publicized or or you
- 1:49:43know, whatever. So this was the first part of
- 1:49:47the scope. So we had said it was a female.
- 1:49:51Yeah. Pumpkin Wendigo night.
- 1:49:53Yeah, yes, more, you say? Obviously.
- 1:49:59So this is the pumpkin helmet part and so fitting on like
- 1:50:06that. And then that's the front view
- 1:50:08with the Wendigo horns and everything.
- 1:50:10So there you go. That was less than an hour to
- 1:50:15put all that together. Incredible.
- 1:50:17And he did a lot of talking to you, so that was even more
- 1:50:20impressive while he's telling us about his university course,
- 1:50:23just a sculpting, all this stuff.
- 1:50:24There's Cameron in giving us the painting kind of presentation,
- 1:50:30whatever. That was really cool.
- 1:50:32A little famous YouTube there Robo.
- 1:50:33You can see him in the corner did.
- 1:50:36You get a picture of a robo man if you look.
- 1:50:39If you look out into the corridor, there's now there with
- 1:50:42Nate March same time. I tried.
- 1:50:44I tried to talk to to Robo whilst were intern but he was
- 1:50:48obviously busy a lot going on. I was like I'll capture it with
- 1:50:50you later and they never got a chance to talk to him again.
- 1:50:52Well. He's definitely going to be
- 1:50:55about next year because he was raving about Sure he will.
- 1:50:57This was with Big Birch and behind him is just a close up of
- 1:51:02a picture he was doing. I think it's really close in and
- 1:51:06then, you know, kind of does the detail and seems out.
- 1:51:09So this was the photo photography session with Trevor
- 1:51:15What? So much blue.
- 1:51:20So much. Blue right over there.
- 1:51:23Sorry, he that was his demo. He could choose to do as he
- 1:51:26wishes. This was the the tour through
- 1:51:31the props studio. So some crazy stuff here.
- 1:51:34Oh, we got we got a selfie, man. We've.
- 1:51:36Got a selfie with a robo there. Kent not looking too impressed
- 1:51:40in the background. He's not.
- 1:51:43I didn't know it's that before. This was Jim showing us still.
- 1:51:48Looking straight at the. Camera Bill saw me taking the
- 1:51:52photo, gave a weird look and this is the Aztec dial so that
- 1:51:57we actually saw the next day. Behind is all the boxes of
- 1:52:01figures and stuff. So this is the warehouse that
- 1:52:04your stuff gets. Probably what he was he was
- 1:52:06worried that you were zooming in on the stuff behind.
- 1:52:08I was there was boxes there to the right side as well.
- 1:52:10I was looking to see if there was any strange names on the
- 1:52:13case, like, you know, whatever they might be.
- 1:52:16This is further on the props shop, so you can see it's like
- 1:52:20Aladdin's cave that does just guns.
- 1:52:23These are obviously real guns, but prop guns, so they don't
- 1:52:27work anymore. Old radios.
- 1:52:33I thought that was really cool. They had old.
- 1:52:35TV's as well. Whole place is just.
- 1:52:38This is basically a museum, isn't it?
- 1:52:40Pretty much. Yeah, you could just order, you
- 1:52:41know, oh, I need a 1966 gramophone from and I'm sure
- 1:52:45it's there. You know, this is Jim showing us
- 1:52:50about how they used to do some molding stuff.
- 1:52:53Rich looking extremely diligent there.
- 1:52:57I'm paying a lot of. Attention there, which is that
- 1:52:58your career? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:53:00I was hoping to get you kind of, you know, looking at your phone
- 1:53:03or something, but you're not that disrespectful.
- 1:53:06Not with Jim, GC just punched me in the face.
- 1:53:11It's mean to the famous wall of figures.
- 1:53:14Yeah, I tried to do a number of selfies in front of that one.
- 1:53:17They all looked horrendous. So I had to get somebody like is
- 1:53:20to make me look good because he looks good.
- 1:53:24Yeah. That's a backhanded compliment,
- 1:53:26isn't it? Well, it takes the focus off my
- 1:53:31some outer spacemen and all sorts of stuff here.
- 1:53:36Horseman prototypes. I got a good figure this shelf.
- 1:53:39I didn't get a good picture of the other one because there was
- 1:53:42always people in the way. I I should have I I this is
- 1:53:46where I'm rubbish. I did not take any photographs.
- 1:53:50I know time. I am such an idiot but you.
- 1:53:53Enjoyed yourself though. That's kind of what it is.
- 1:53:56I tend to be in the moment and I'm sort of an especially in
- 1:53:59this situation or so overawed by everything.
- 1:54:03But I did notice if you looked at the armour on the two Power
- 1:54:06Lords characters, yeah, they it wasn't that dissimilar to the
- 1:54:10cosmic armour on like, yeah, that's.
- 1:54:12Why? It was really cool.
- 1:54:13Yeah, that's why it was Mark Calvo and Eric Miller was able
- 1:54:18to do some awesome tributes because it but Eric Miller
- 1:54:22actually used some prototype stuff that they hadn't released.
- 1:54:25That's right. Yeah.
- 1:54:26He was one of the yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:54:28That must have been a bit of pressure to paint that.
- 1:54:30I wouldn't be surprised if the is the infinite legions line if
- 1:54:34we see some power. Lawn.
- 1:54:35Style stuff in there. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
- 1:54:37Here's us outside of G Con coughing up while I was coughing
- 1:54:43up. He needed coffee there.
- 1:54:45Lovely that for sure. There's Dylan.
- 1:54:50There's rich purple headband. But it's a simple.
- 1:54:55Trial, but we're doing those the other 1.
- 1:55:01I put mine around my as a scarf. So cool.
- 1:55:04I'm I'm not, I'm not. I look so gormless.
- 1:55:06In that picture, look at my face.
- 1:55:09Well that's this is the pictures going to be the episode art for
- 1:55:12this episode? Yeah.
- 1:55:13Because I wasn't using this one and then the silly I got
- 1:55:22revealed. Yeah.
- 1:55:24I yeah, my jaw was open. Yeah, this was a deliberate
- 1:55:28post. Even Thomas, he's amused.
- 1:55:29Yeah, Any pictures you saw of me at that point?
- 1:55:32I think people did take pictures when I wasn't looking and I just
- 1:55:35had the open mouth anyway sort of thing.
- 1:55:37I had a little break and had a chat with Scott Pillar.
- 1:55:40That Steph pillar. That's incredible.
- 1:55:42Yeah. Cool.
- 1:55:43So so good. This is at the barbershop.
- 1:55:48The last one did the trim before before on Saturday.
- 1:55:53Look how pasty are those legs, The arms.
- 1:55:56I was about to say, yeah, we we just painted mile white.
- 1:56:01I thought it was, you know, because there was orange kind in
- 1:56:04the background on the barbershop.
- 1:56:05I thought maybe it just kind of brought out the white, but
- 1:56:08Rich's legs look perfectly normal.
- 1:56:10So you're on the sun bed for next year?
- 1:56:13Clearly no. This Is Us setting up then Mal
- 1:56:18doing Trojan work helping us out there setting up the racks.
- 1:56:22I've been you out. He did all the time over for a
- 1:56:25feel rich was too busy so there we go.
- 1:56:31This was me now there OK and this.
- 1:56:35One what is wrong with my photography?
- 1:56:37Not like a left foot Mal is that there's something going on
- 1:56:39there, clearly. Me with the brother Xavier.
- 1:56:45There he is, and he's awesome. Very cosplay.
- 1:56:48Yeah. And my trouble Chin.
- 1:56:50This is the the the Wine stopper show.
- 1:56:56Before this was our first look. This was the one Brett brought
- 1:57:00over to you, Rich. Yeah.
- 1:57:02Yeah, the pictures first. First look in box.
- 1:57:05Yeah. Oh, you just can't get that
- 1:57:08moment again. It's just, it was so much, so
- 1:57:10exciting and just thought there's two heads and.
- 1:57:12Everything as well just like. There's, I'm pulling a silly
- 1:57:18face. There you go.
- 1:57:18Yeah. You can have that one now.
- 1:57:19Yeah. You see, you can pull a lot of
- 1:57:22these photos for yourself. This was Mal's breakfast.
- 1:57:25When you took a photo, it was a bagel this, but it looked like
- 1:57:30this was obviously this bagel tasted the same as any other
- 1:57:33bagel, but it looked, it looked like a dessert.
- 1:57:37It's full of sausages and bacon. Yeah.
- 1:57:40So it's got rainbow stripes on it.
- 1:57:42Yeah. It was clearly for the kids.
- 1:57:44And I was like, I'm not. Kids aren't having it.
- 1:57:48Yeah, you just put. Three of them out of the way.
- 1:57:49And I'm sure that's apple juice. I'm sure that's apple juice in
- 1:57:52that glass, but it does look like a pint with it as well.
- 1:57:57Thomas Ballet ended up buying this head, but I just thought it
- 1:57:59was incredible. It worked perfectly.
- 1:58:02It's the snail head I painted from Bryan C so Corey was bought
- 1:58:05a couple of unpainted ones of those.
- 1:58:07Yeah, and Corey was so impressed what he did, he ran over, bought
- 1:58:101 and painted it. Yeah, like yours.
- 1:58:12What? The show when they came back?
- 1:58:14They're not. I painted one as well.
- 1:58:16He spent 4 hours less painting than I did.
- 1:58:18There's Ben Kostanovich and us. SE Thomas is in the background.
- 1:58:25Borderland, guys, you get a view that's kind of, I would say
- 1:58:27that's 1/3 of the whole pretty much.
- 1:58:29What we were looking at for the whole well, I was a bit lower
- 1:58:33and my review was slightly lower than yours.
- 1:58:34But this is Richard's view. Then they took pictures of the
- 1:58:41cosmic dials and diet because I realized that kind of nobody
- 1:58:48had. I spent, I spent a year ago.
- 1:58:50I'm glad you got this one because I spent half the con
- 1:58:53going ice. They're a bit on its own over
- 1:58:55here, completely forgetting about the crash site.
- 1:58:59Old man Kyle get purchasing your art.
- 1:59:03Yes, Rich. Yeah, he just took it.
- 1:59:07Kathy. Yeah.
- 1:59:08Oh yeah, sorry. I got an action force figure,
- 1:59:13had to try one called Atlas which is why Rich.
- 1:59:17It's looking for an impressed look.
- 1:59:19Yeah, and then I showed Anthony O Seal and he went and bought
- 1:59:21the same one. Have you you opened it at all,
- 1:59:24John? Yes, I was.
- 1:59:25It was. Good.
- 1:59:26Yeah, it's good. Yeah, I need to.
- 1:59:27They gave you a spare pants basically.
- 1:59:33It's basically there was there was an issue with the, Yeah.
- 1:59:36They said there wasn't as much detail on the sculpt and that
- 1:59:38didn't. That's true.
- 1:59:39So I just have to heat it up and pop that in.
- 1:59:42So biggie. But yeah, cool.
- 1:59:45There's Jeremy Govier taking some art.
- 1:59:48Again, checking the art Mao I keep literally Mao.
- 1:59:51Every picture is somebody helping themselves to some art.
- 1:59:53It's. Just saying I.
- 1:59:55Think I think we appealed to. Sunday night had dinner or
- 1:59:57something. So we got, we had a lovely
- 1:59:59dinner with Matt Drake and Mark Calvo.
- 2:00:02Yeah, I think that's probably where is that where the fish and
- 2:00:06chips picture comes from, Rich or was it?
- 2:00:08No, it was like before the fish and chips, that was.
- 2:00:10That was my Cassidy at night. Oh, right.
- 2:00:13Yeah, You you had what we had the previous night.
- 2:00:16That's really that's the legions con floor tree post Legions
- 2:00:20Sunday night pretty I'm really. Glad you got. 8:00 or something
- 2:00:24like that. So like look how much it's just
- 2:00:27all gone. People are so efficient.
- 2:00:29I'm really. Glad you got that picture
- 2:00:30though, because I kept meaning to get a picture of this is what
- 2:00:32it looks like empty. That's what it looks like.
- 2:00:35So we were. Before, I'd still been in that
- 2:00:37picture. Yeah, if it was 8:00.
- 2:00:39Last position done, you look at the double doors.
- 2:00:42If you look at the double doors kind of on the on the top right
- 2:00:45hand side there and then if you go down to the second double
- 2:00:49doors just past them, that's where we were basically on the
- 2:00:52floor. When it's full of people, you
- 2:00:56wouldn't realize it's that big, would you know?
- 2:00:59No. Crazy.
- 2:01:00No. And it was heaving there, wasn't
- 2:01:02it? Yeah.
- 2:01:03This is shooting the chef. That's when it was getting
- 2:01:05going. And I know that's what, Yeah,
- 2:01:07when Jeremy was Jeremy. I'd already gone to bed at this
- 2:01:12point. I'm so.
- 2:01:12Tired. Yeah, that was pretty late.
- 2:01:17This is Rich. He's making noise.
- 2:01:21Crinkling. Although we were all at it to a
- 2:01:23certain extent and but I had to get that picture for everyone
- 2:01:27seen as I banged on about it so much.
- 2:01:29I think that's the most focused. I mean, during the whole con is
- 2:01:32that our period where I'm unboxing stuff, I'm just like
- 2:01:34laser? Focused This Is Us Monday
- 2:01:37morning, just getting her last bit of American cuisine before
- 2:01:41long trek home. That was how that Tang actually
- 2:01:45that tango that I've got there, a bright oranges.
- 2:01:47I sent a picture of that to to Kerry.
- 2:01:49She was like, Oh my God, it's like, yeah, this food colouring.
- 2:01:52She just wouldn't get away within Europe.
- 2:01:53Is that clear? Yeah.
- 2:01:55Wow. It's just.
- 2:01:56Glowing. I don't think.
- 2:01:58The food was busy. The food The food is delicious.
- 2:02:01McDonald's in America is way better than the so much wouldn't
- 2:02:05even cross the door. We should just.
- 2:02:08Cover the normal cheeseburger the rather than what I went
- 2:02:10with, but fillet fish was really nice.
- 2:02:14Oh, man, I could. Yeah.
- 2:02:16I always keep it simple, especially on the way.
- 2:02:19On the way home, you don't want to be having fillet fish on the
- 2:02:23plain deer. Repeat.
- 2:02:25No, it was all right. It wasn't too bad.
- 2:02:27Yeah, To be honest, at that stage in the weekend, pretty
- 2:02:31much anything you could throw it as we were going to be able to
- 2:02:34throw it back. Yeah.
- 2:02:37So that's it. So that's our lead.
- 2:02:39It's gone kind of summary for the most part.
- 2:02:44Next week related to lead, it's gone.
- 2:02:46We still have to do the figures and talk about the figures in
- 2:02:49hand. You'll get your hands on them
- 2:02:51this week, the the two packs and the minion infantry.
- 2:02:57There'll be ones to talk about and maybe this weekend or next
- 2:03:02weekend we might have a figure obscure.
- 2:03:03If it's going to drop before Christmas, give them some time
- 2:03:07to get it out. What do we think?
- 2:03:09I, I think it's got to be this weekend if we're going to get
- 2:03:13one because then that only leaves them a cup because if
- 2:03:15they do it the following week, I think it only gives them a
- 2:03:17couple of weeks before Christmas to get it to people.
- 2:03:22So I think if we get a new again this weekend.
- 2:03:25Yeah, I can see your logic. I was thinking.
- 2:03:28But Thanksgiving is later this year, so I wonder what they
- 2:03:31would they drop something on the Saturday after and it's Black
- 2:03:34Friday again. We.
- 2:03:36Are getting it this year. I wonder if they'll forego it
- 2:03:39knowing that the Dragons come in and they want and they know
- 2:03:43people will want the money for the dragon.
- 2:03:45I don't know. Right.
- 2:03:49Maybe. Or they go big and go, well,
- 2:03:52actually we said we'd give them the ghost.
- 2:03:54Yeah, they are. And a three pack.
- 2:03:55Oh man, don't do that. This is as a final as a final
- 2:03:59celebration stopping I. Can hear I can.
- 2:04:02Hear in the hall now it is breaking down crying.
- 2:04:06I'm just thinking there's a final celebration year one just
- 2:04:09there you go. There's a three otherwise
- 2:04:10because they said they can do the ghosts, but if they do 1A
- 2:04:13year, that's the next three years with the Christmas stuff.
- 2:04:15Take a nap. You know, in a way, if they're
- 2:04:19doing now the Egyptian stuff is the kind of a thing.
- 2:04:22And if they're doing the ghost is a thing, the figure Obscure
- 2:04:26is trying to become a kind of a line that's kind of just two
- 2:04:29things and then a random thing, I wonder, would it be good to
- 2:04:33mix it up again? Yeah.
- 2:04:35Maybe, I don't know. I don't know, maybe not.
- 2:04:40Be fun to see. Somebody was shouting at The
- 2:04:42Nutcracker, I think. Patrick Boyle.
- 2:04:45That would be cool. That would be cool.
- 2:04:48Yeah, maybe a reindeer. I don't know, maybe we'll get
- 2:04:54something with a new 3.0 body. Oh yeah.
- 2:05:00Oh yeah, there's, there's, there's loads of possibilities.
- 2:05:02I suppose. Just remember that this, this
- 2:05:04would have to be in the works for, you know, since maybe,
- 2:05:07yeah, 8-9 months ago, a year ago.
- 2:05:09So kind of hard to think. I mean, I'm hoping the lesser
- 2:05:13known story about Santa's hippo dwarf centre elves might might
- 2:05:18work. I mean.
- 2:05:21What sort of a snake themed Christmas figure?
- 2:05:24Obscure. Could there be Snake Santa?
- 2:05:28Has there ever been a snake? I there can be I don't any
- 2:05:33reason why we can't have a snake Santa.
- 2:05:35I'm sure Jeremy could pick, could could, you know, pick out
- 2:05:38some lore from some far off land that you know, he's always, he's
- 2:05:43always had a soft spot for. Fresh Monkey Fiction dropped a
- 2:05:50hint for their new Christmas. You know then N is it naughty or
- 2:05:54nice Christmas line. I'm one of the pictures look
- 2:05:56suspiciously like a Centaur. So it's going to be Father
- 2:06:00Christmas reindeer Centaur. So, you know, if they can do it,
- 2:06:04then yeah. Who would you pick up that?
- 2:06:06Would be so dumb if they've done.
- 2:06:09That if they have done that, I'm 100% getting it.
- 2:06:12There's no ifs, butts or maybes about it because it's just
- 2:06:15crazy. Sounds good?
- 2:06:18Well, I'm literally getting much for a while.
- 2:06:21Except if they do drop a figure of screws.
- 2:06:23We have to. Yeah.
- 2:06:26Drop something I don't like. Yeah.
- 2:06:33Or join our Patreon. So we.
- 2:06:35That's not going to bite his fingers either.
- 2:06:38It hardly pays for the show. It'll make you feel warm and
- 2:06:42cuddly inside, nice and safe. You join the patron.
- 2:06:44I had to switch the podcast toes this week because the our
- 2:06:47podcast started to want money.
