Old Thread:
>>5636479
So, many of us are still waiting for our figures to come in but the scalpers have already popped up. I'm considering buying some since I'm impatient.
So what supporting props and gear do you guys have? Plan on taking your Mythic Legions out for a stroll or just pinning them to the wall? Whatever it is, share some pics! Those of us who haven't gotten ours yet definitely want to see them in action!
If anyone has Gothitropolis or 7th Kingdom figures, comparison pictures would be appreciated!
Not my pictures but they are very awesome.
War Duke is one if the mash-ups I look forward to making the most.
>>5673375
I had held on to my Revoltech skeletons, thinking they would be fine as additions to this line but pictures like this easily convince me that I just need to shift completely to Mythic Legion skeletons.
>>5673382
And a couple old test shots because they look awesome.
>>5673396
Pic of Mythic Legions and Scarabus figures.
Last pic for figure build. Apparently boild and pop works like a charm and someone on the official forums made a breakdown pic for people working on potential MOCs.
Got mine in last week. I had forgotten there were so many damn figures in the all-in.
Now I eagerly await the trolls and the rest of 1.5.
>>5673371
Is there more pictures of that Bothar with the war hammer ? It's more or less what I intend to do when my set arrives.
I got the kickstarter dwarf through ebay since I didn't back. These figures are nice, just wish they had double-jointed elbows like their birds.
Waiting for my summer all in package and about 20 figures from the sale.
>>5672975
>>5673353
Poxxus and Necrominus are both dark gods in this world, along side Arethyer and Eathyron. There could still be other gods that they haven't mentioned by name as there are some factions we don't have much info on.
>>5673371
>scalpers have already popped up
I'd hesitate to call em scalpers, a lot of people probably bought into the line for sole reason of reselling them. They're a rare but high quality figures for a genre that sees very little love in toy form. These things are a gold mine to smaller shops who can charge top dollar to people not in the know.
Scalpers are more about cleaning off the shelves before other collectors or fans. Guys selling these figures now are the ones who backed for multiple all-ins.
>>5673382
Revol skeletons are TINY compared to these beasts, but they're okay for filling out the ranks of your undead, even if they just hang out in the background.
>>5673556
The limited arm articulation is my only real gripe about the figures. Between the barrel chests, limited elbows and in-out hinged wrists, it limits them from having some great sword holding stances. Hopefully it's something that's addressed in wave 2.
>>5673739
To be fair, it's still scalping as most figures are 2-3x their retail price. That said, it's not "unjustified" given the facts you stated.
Personally, I will still buy them. Just like all other 4H figures, they see massive markups in the after market. That said, it still sucks.
Anyone whose gotten their orders so far feel free to post pics of your hauls, it'd be great to see what everyone got and how these things are in hand.
>>5674065
a lot of the people on this board are waiting for the new preorders so only the backers have them right now. Still, I'd like to see what everyone got.
so it has shipped for backers? or some?
>>5674099
So far, they've only shipped the "all in" backers.
>>5674099
I got in on the Monday sale. I'm not expecting to get a shipping number until at least the end of the month.
>>5673403
Lord that is beautiful.
>tfw I'll never have this glorious bastard
At least I got Sir Ignatius from a re-seller on ebay.
>>5674065
>>5674142
While it sucks to have to wait, it makes sense business wise to take care of the backers who spent the most on your product first. But I find that, now that we're so close, the longer we wait the more I want to add to my order. I feel once I actually get my figures in, I'll finally realize just how much I bought and the urge to get more will (hopefully) die down. But with the figures still up in the shop, and other people getting em in hand and showing off pics, I'm tempted to just keep buying more. Hell, the more I think about it the more the All-in makes sense as a good investment, because if I already had em all I wouldn't be paying increased prices and extra shipping for more and I'd have plenty I'd be willing to sell back for a profit.
But at the time, I didn't have and extra grand layin about to throw at toys that won't come out for another year or two.
>>5674197
The ease of disassembly is the only saving grace for me in their choice of elbow joint. A swivel/peg elbow is easy to swap and mix and match. If it were double jointed, the entire arm from the bicep to the gauntlet would be far more difficult, if not impossible, to swap about.
Still doesn't excuse the choice of wrists though.
>>5674294
I hear ya bro, I invested heavy last year (missed the KS but go in to that brief window of pre-orders) and then dropped almost the same last week to get the stuff I missed last year.
But I really think I'm going to like these & I like how they scale with other 6 inch lines.
So over in this thread >>5668354 they show some female 4H prototypes from a few years ago, think they'll integrate them into MYL?
>>5674353
Stylistically I'm not sure they would fit in.
>>5674675
sadly is true, they are like victorian and this current line looks more barbaric/medieval, I dont know if the female toy rumour is true but a female minotaur sounds like a cool weird concept to me
Just got my Sir Ignatius. How exactly does the sword strap attach to him?
>>5674922
We need pictures bruh. Also, I'm pretty sure the strap doesn't really "attach", it just slides on the body.
>>5674941
I mean is it supposed to go over the shoulder or around the waist? I'll take a few shots soon.
>>5674952
From what I've heard so far, the belt is supposed to be made so you can do both. Thanks, I'm eager to see the pictures.
>>5674955
>>5674955
>>5675017
Managed to slip the strap over his legs and up the chainmail.
>>5675019
To make it really easy, what you can do is just pull apart the waist and torso to slide the belt on. Much easier and these guys are durable so you can't hamhands them.
>>5675026
I was thinking that, but I didn't know if the joint would come apart easily.
>>5675030
They come apart pretty easily because of customization sake.
>>5674142
Mine was 555 USD (International) so that's the all-in package right?
Still no e-mail, not that it really matter I'm in another country till June so wont be seeing it even if they shipped it.
Would be good to know that I have it though.
>>5674353
Those figures specifically...it's a long shot. Going forward they said they wanted to stick with the ML figures as their main line, and part of that means they'll be sticking to same build structure to allow for easy cross part usage. We may see figures that are nods to these, but I doubt we'll actually see this exact toy get made any time soon.
>>5674866
It's very true, pic related is a preview of a slim/female armored leg that will be used in the next full wave of figures.
>>5674952
>>5675030
The strap is mainly designed to fit over the chest, but it can also fit (very loosely) around the waist. The figures themselves are made to be pulled apart, especially at the head and waist, as the collar and belt pieces are swappable. In fact you don't even need to remove the head from the ball joint to fit the strap over the shoulder, the neck itself can pop right off the torso.
>>5675232
>The strap is mainly designed to fit over the chest
Thanks for the tip, I thought it felt kinda loose on his waist. Can't wait for those weapon packs to get here.
>>5675229
All in was $1.1k for international. Those are going out in the next day or two per a recent KS update. Sounds like you got the standard assortment, so you get to wait with the rest of us for now.
>>5675232
Sideview of that leg
>>5675232
>>5675260
Good to see the female parts are being sculpted, hope we will have something more than humans and elves, if there is something I like about this guys is they make cool looking and original non human figures and I want to see the same in the female line, maybe a female fishman, minotaur, kobold, female barbarian werewolf or gnoll, mind flayer or maybe a female dragon knight? I like crazy original concepts
>>5675248
Whoa, that's a big order. Good to know nothing it wrong then.
I probably spend just as much on stuff I added on later haha.
>tfw you're flying out of the country for a few months and might miss getting to open these
So ghost skeleton space knight when?
So I heard on the previous thread that there was going to be a sale sometime in June. Anybody have any idea about that? I didnt order anything on the last sale because I only really wanted the standard skelly and the silver knight.
>>5673401
I'd buy this
From wanting to get 3 army builders, to when they were no longer available, getting 6 figures and 2 weapons packs. Ugh. They seem like pretty good figures so I hope they don't disappoint. I'm happy with the group I got, and I wouldn't want any other, other than Gideon, that are now sold out or still up. So if he's ever available again I'll grab him
What I got, just for fun:
Attlus, Attila, Otho, Thord, Zahzar, Gorgo, and Weapons pack 1 and 3. Gorgo and WP3 were a second order I went with cause idk, he was originally the one I liked most next to Attlus so I'm pleased to get him.
i preordered a Screamin Eagle what seems to be a year ago already.
Any news of when they come out? should i send them an email?
>>5676767
The second run of birds haven't been released yet. They haven't really spoken about them in a while. I do wonder what the status of them is.
>>5676796
I checked my bank account and it's about to hit 7 months. I shot them a friendly email, i'll report back here when/if they respond.
>>5676745
I ended up with 8 skeletons, 3 paladins, 4 barbarians and 1 vampire along with 7 weapon packs. I'd like to say I'm done, but I'm not.
I hope they don't suck. At least their resale should be solid.
>>5676870
Solid order. Most things are sold out now what else do you have in mind? Or do you mean for series 2, cause though I'm mostly done with 1 I'm definitely interested in more.
are these figures glyos compatible?
>>5677215
For su- obviously not. Why would you think that? Unless it was just a genuine question, then no, they are not glyos compatible.
>>5677225
if they were 1/18 scale as intended would they be glyos compatible? the part swapping its the same as glyos and 4H's use of the glyos joint but larger seems lazy because there are no double knee joints now like the glorious birdmen have
>>5677237
That's a question for an alternate timeline. I would go with no, as they seem like they want to create their own universe. Nothing from their figures is compatible with anything from other comparable figure lines. Compared to the articulated icons' ninjas and the rest who have heads that should be compatible with most ML (legends) figures. Versatility is good, but in this case this is theirs and I doubt they would have been glyos compatible even if they were smaller.
And the joints are modular because they want people to be able to mix and match parts. I have no particular need to do so but cool for those who want to. Having double joints that do that adds to the complexity and they probably figured it wasn't worth the potential breakage issues and what not.
>>5677248
>And the joints are modular because they want people to be able to mix and match parts.
just like how their previous 1/18 scale stuff has glyos pegs.
>adding complexity to toys clam shell packed and meant to look impressive is bad because its meant to be a 1/12 collector's scale line
oh right, I forgot I worked on heman and borry a few bad practices from mattel with their single swivel elbows and knees

face It anon, the part swapping is left over from the glyos compatibility it would have had if left in a smaller scale. admit it and admit 6 inch glyos action figures from oneil design will happen
>>5677259
Not them, but interesting. I wonder how the line would have been as a 4 inch line. I'm not particularly interested in anything glyos yet but nothing wrong with modular designs. I would probably be interested if they were to make some action figures rather then the little guys in a larger scale.
>taking subject tranny seriously
This thread is starting to get weird. Anyone have pics to show off their figures?
>>5677199
I need to pick up some orcs mostly, I'll end up having to pay premium for them since I couldn't get them during the Monday sale.
>>5677283
Yea, at some point they had said something about Glyos compatability. Then they changed to a larger scale and there are some people who can't let it go.
They don't support the line, they don't buy anything, they just bitch. Ignore them.
>>5677336
The earliest mythic legions prototype used glyos, but that was just cobbled together garbage. As most orotos are. Their instagram has it posted.
Don't care for glyos and don't want compatibility for something I don't buy. But thats just me.
>>5677295
I would assume a reissue of some of the popular characters will be a thing eventually, though I'm not sure if that would include the orcs. But if you intend to buy some of the orc army builder wait just a bit because they're already doing a reissue for them.
>>5677344
I definitely agree with this sentiment. Also, pics for thread relevance.
>>5677378
>>5677380
>>5677381
>>5677382
I don't have my figures yet so I have to sift through other people's photos to find the best ones.
Can't wait to get mine...
>>5677382
>>5677381
>>5677380
>>5677378
That's really fucking metal.
>>5677259
Face it troll, we know your bullshit, now fuck off.
Everything's sold out, aren't they?
Does anyone have a photo of one of these compared to a neca figure
>>5673739
That's the definition of scalping, buying with the intent to resell at a higher cost.
>>5675955
me likey
>>5677418
>>5677492
Almost.
12 Bothar
15 Attila
19 Attlus
38 Malleus
39 Blood Knight
If you want any of these guys I'd grab them soon. Don't regret it! Attlus and Attila for badass brother duo with unique head sculpts. Not to mention they're both faction leaders, if you care about that.
>>5677380
Blood Knight looks a little disappointing, red is more faded and the black wash isn't as good as the prototype.
>>5677704
I blame the fan votes.
The figure just ended up being Gorgo with different horns, crotchplate, and slathered in red.
Really lazy shit.
I probably wouldn't have ordered him if not for the vampire flavor text.
>>5677735
Gorgo with a way worse paintjob. I don't think his two tones is worth the same as some of the other intricately painted figures.
Honest question, just received some of these. What's the way to attach a shield to someone's arm? Do you just ruin the soft plastic by forcing it on the wrist or is there some way?
>>5677761
Some people mentioned removing the hands so you can slide the shield bit on the wrist. The hands pop out by design so it's ok to do that.
>>5677800
I asked because it's naturally damages the sculpt by design. Not something you'll notice, but it's a little scary.
>>5677691
Attila down to only 10. Attlus at 17.
>>5677511
No, that's the definition of resale. You think Hasbro just gives toys to Wal-Mart and TRU? They buy the figures from the manufacturers then sell them to you at Increased prices. A scalper is someone who buys from retail making it so others can't buy from retail.
There is no scalping here, just absurdly priced figures.
>>5677761
The figures are sturdy enough that the shield shouldn't cause any damage, but I understand the dislike for the clip style shield grips. Simple L shaped handles would be far better for these figures imo, would still allow the shields to rotate but wouldn't risk any damage to the figure's wrist. It would also allow the. To hold the shield closer to their body which looks much better then when they're just kind of floating against their arm.
>>5677853
That's wholesale for resale. This is retail for scalping. BBTS is getting in on it too now.
Honestly I don't even really care, so you can cool your jets and keep posting your stuff on eBay for $79.99. It does not affront me none.
Bbts have stock, they're a bit marked up. But still cheaper than eBay prices. I got a few of the orcs I missed out on.
>>5677866
just saw it, too late for ignatius, the only one I really wanted that I didn't get until it was too late, so yeah.
>>5677880
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that man ):
Hopefully they can sort out a reissue of the more popular characters like people have mentioned earlier in the thread. The demands obviously there for them (:
>>5677932
I've got the templar in 1.5 with bothar and owain from last week, so it's not that bad, I just didn't realized I liked the design of the character until well after it was sold out, since there wasn't that many pictures of him. But thanks for the concern bro.
>>5677880
The pearlescent look look of Ignatius is really cool, but I'm surprised he's so popular. Maybe his numbers were lower then everyone was surprised at how nice the final product looked and tried to jump on it. I like to keep certain figures unique, and since he and Gorgo share a helmet he's a no go for me, since I assume Gorgo is ultimately the more important of the two.
>>5677691
>plenty of Malleus and Blood Knight
Hopefully they last till Friday.
>>5677866
you're a life saver, i'm a backer and still managed to miss out on the silver knight, thanks to you that is no longer the case
debating ordering a silver knight or sir owain, i already went way too deep in this line considering i found out about it a month ago and i have never purchased 4h items before
already ordered blood knight/gorgo from their online store, have ignatius coming in from bbts, so if i get silver knight or sir owain, that's one more toy that i already have three same bodies of coming in
but a badass plain stereotypical knight headsculpt
>>5678039
im not going to lose sleep over $15, and i'll get it around the same time i get the others
>>5678039
did not know this
thanks, mate
>>5677418
>Confirmed for shit taste.
>>5677941
That's the main thing! At least we didn't miss out all together. All the best bro
>>5678116
Hopefully all the characters see a re-release. Unlike their other lines, these are neither meant to be limited run figures nor are the molds for them in jeopardy of being lost/stolen/damaged. These guys are supposed to be their corner stone toyline, one that the majority of their figures will be included in. If there's still a demand for characters, it makes no sense to not make them. Worst case is a couple linger about for a few months, but a simple clearance sale wouldnget rid of any excess stock.
With the way these guys are designed, even if younget one you're not super fond of, it wouldn't be too difficult to turn it into an all new character just through part swapping.
Anyone seen what all comes with the barbarian builder set? Is there a non-bearded head?
>>5678139
yes the alt helm he comes with is gorgos design, he also comes with alt helm accessories, lower armor and pauldrons, as well as coming with every standard weapon
>>5678006
I'm glad I could be of assistance (:
>>5677380
That looks way better than the promo pic, I kind of want it now.
>>5677866
Do bbts prices include shipping?
>>5678218
no
shipping, at least for me, is like 10-20-ish dollars in the states.
>>5678218
it was $5 shipping for me
Ohshit, BBTS is making work, huh?
Might cop the vampire guy but I'm gonna preorder the Mallard or the Vulture/Crow from the original line perhaps.
>>5678240
same, i paid late tax for the silver one - 45 dlls instead of paying 32 with store horsemen.
13 dlls for being dumb and not clicking fast enough.
Ok, so these guys have to peg holes on their shoulder blades for wings/pauldrons, but then there is a rectangular peg hole in the middle.of their back. Anyone know what that's for?
>>5681480
Rumor it might be for wings.
>>5681492
But they already have the upper two peg holes for those
>>5681480
Could we get a pic of this? It might be compatible with some stands.
>>5681777
>>5681798
I was wondering that myself and assumed it was for the capes but I guess not. Strange, though I recall the old sculpts had 2 small holes instead. Maybe these are for backpack like things? Not sure what knights and the like would carry though.
Just ordered the Barbarian builder set of BBS! I can't wait!
Stock update. Bothar is now sold out.
Attila 5
Attlus 9
Blood Knight 20
Malleus 28
could someone post the two heads for tibius they have in-hand?
>>5681769
They said they would have to make an adapter tonget the wings to fit since the pegs are different sizes. Most likely the wing adapter (if it ever gets made) will fit into the square peg so you can have a character with pauldrons and wings at the same time.
It could also see use for things like backpacks, quivers, possible tail pieces etc. would have been nice if the shield clips could fit in there as well, but that's sadly not the case.
Any educated guesses om when preorders ship? I got Godfrey and Unkann
I want some skeletons too, but I don't have that kind of money to be spending right now.
>>5682236
in the next 2 weeks maybe? all-in was just wrapping up yesterday and then they start with large non-all-in ks orders next followed by pre-orders round 1 and then pre-orders round 2
>>5682236
Mid to late June is my guess.
>>5682236
They released an update on the KS giving us a basic idea of how things will be shipped out and why there was an initial delay.
Essentially, All-In Kickstarter orders go out first. Those are the ones currently arriving at people's door and being sold on Ebay and BBTS. Bigger orders take priority so those who bought the most get em first.
Then the rest of the KS orders start shipping, with the same priority on larger orders. If you only pledged for a single figure during the KS, then you'll be one of the last to get em.
After ALL the Kickstarter figures are moved, the All-Ins from the *first* pre-order get shipped. This was the pre-order that opened up after the KS closed. And again, once all the All-Ins from that are sent out, the smaller orders will follow.
THEN they'll start moving figures sold during *this* pre-order, largest orders to smallest. Basically meaning, if you only bought a single figure from the current sale, you shouldn't expect any figures for at least 1-2 months.
The Wave 1.5 Guys (Godfrey/Unkann, the Trolls and the Wave 2 Birds are currently in production and are set to arrive sometime in June. Though that's a very optimistic estimate all things considered. But they want the 1.5 guys (specifically the Orc) ready for Power Con, so they may get rushed over.
They also say that they'll have restocks of some of the figures this June, so it's still possible the Wave 1.5 guys will be ready by then. But I can't see those figures seeing general release until at least July.
Long story short, strap in for a long ride cause this is the Summer of the Horsemen.
Guys you think 4h and ungie could hook up and give me some sweet 6 inch guardians with swappable armor?
>>5682733
who gives a shit about halo anymore
the franchise has been going downhill since reach
>>5682736
well bungie doesn't make halo anymore so I was talking about guardians from Destiny. I don't care about halo anymore either but there are some great armor sets from Destiny I'd love to have a figure of.
>>5682178
I would like to see it used for sheaths and shields, personally.
>>5682290
Cool, thanks for the info.
>>5677479
>tfw he's the reason I backed at all.
I cannot wait for that fucker to get here.
And Attila is gone.
2 Attlus left. Get him now if you want him!
9 Blood Knight. He's been going fast.
22 Malleus. The straggler. But even he won't last.
Just got Owain from BBTS, he's really fun. Kind of wished I backed the whole thing from the beginning
The only "dragon" figure I have
End
>>5685784
Okay I laughed.
Did that stand you're using there actually manage to plug into him or his he just resting against it somehow?
Because if it's plugged I'd love to know what it is.
Also I'm so hyped seeing all these pictures.
Almost makes me want to grab one I missed from BBTS just to have one early. But fuck that shipping and customs.
>>5685790
Nah, it's a pincer type stand. The peg for a figma stand is too small
>>5685780
How's the range of motion on the lower body? The ankles look a lot better than I expected, but I'm curious about the hips and the knees.
>>5685806
It's limited by the crotch piece, otherwise it's a full 180 split and marvel legends style ankle rocker
Actually scratch that. It splits all the way
Another annoying issue he has is that the shield clamp doesn't fit his wrist. I already dented the sculpt a tiny bit by trying it on the first time. The shield clamp is made of the most rigid brittle plastic while the gauntlet is made of soft plastic. The way I put the shield now is by having him hold it sideways and let the shield flop around
>>5685775
Worth the 50 bones? He looks really good
>>5685841
I'd say so if he's the only one you're getting. He's basically a painted version of Silver Knight. I have no interest in other characters nor the lore of this particular line and just want a generic steel knight figure, so he's the one to get for sure. Other knights had a non generic gimmick, so say if you want a paladin rather than a generic knight get Ignatius.
If you're planning to get him then all the other characters in the line, I'm not sure if each of them worth 50 dolarydoos. As you know recycled sculpts wear out their novelty really fast
>>5685822
Knights of the twerk table
>>5685837
You should also try popping off the hand and then sliding on the shield.
>>5685882
That's not the issue. See pic related, the shield clamp has this really aggressive rivet that wouldn't even fit onto the gauntlet
>>5685775
>tfw i backed super early on but only a few figures
>bbts gets them first
Feelsbad
>>5685889
Ah I see. I guess you kind of half to just half it on there. Maybe it`ll stay that way without damaging the plastic.
>>5685889
I've seen people pop the hands off, and put the clip in before sliding the hand peg back on.
>>5685926
You don't even have to pop the hands off. You can slide the clamp when the hand is in horizontal position. Still doesn't change the fact that the rigid rivet still bites onto the soft gauntlet piece and create a permanent dent/scuff mark.
This is not that big of a deal though, I'm personally not that autistic. Just a warning for other knights maybe with shinier paint that it might be bad
>>5685785
Ser Eddie Carr can't catch a break, he should have known better than to venture forth on Isle Sorna
And only Malleus left over at Store Horsemen.
>>5685995
I'm feeling less bad about "splurging" $250 US which came out to $320 Canadian.
I decided not to get extras to "scalp" because I thought with so many figures that were similar the market price wouldn't go up very high. I wonder if I'll turn out to be wrong on that.
I'm really psyched to get the weapon packs on them. That hammer looks so sexy.
I added Carpathias/Orlok, Attlus, Urkku, Bothar Shadowhorn, Malleus, and the blood knight. I already had Jorund Runeshaper (battle-mage dwarf!), the KS exclusive dwarf, Zazhar demon, and the barbarian builder set.
>>5685995
I don't get why Malleaus is so unpopular, i ordered mine heaps ago and i really like his colours and the fact that he fights with two fuckhuge axes.
If there're still some in stock by next friday i think i'll pick up two or three and army build them.
Is it really to much to ask for a simple knight, not some over-designed hecka awesome angel hell paladin?
>>5686173
Like this?
>>5686173
I don't know if you're trolling or not but the basic silver knight is exactly what you want.
>>5686173
You can mix and match pretty much every part on these figures
>>5686303
>>5686186
>>5686182
needs more straps to please those people who only like japanese aesthetics
>>5685917
I'm right there with you.
>>5686365
Now you're obviously joking. But each figure comes with a strap. Buy 10 and go wild with your strapped knight. Grab an anime head and get it to fit too and you've got your dream.
>>5686182
Owain anon here, not to shit on the line but I personally think that the lack of paint on silver knight is kind of underwhelming compared to other named characters. That blank gold shield looks pretty cheap/ugly that's why I picked Owain over Silver Knight. I understand that he's supposed to be cheap army builder, but at least some drybrushing and weathering with $5 extra price would go a long way.
Yes you can mix and match, but all the weathered armors are on the "evil" side, with that full armored Orc having the most complete armor set but even then you're still missing a matching helmet unless you make a custom
>>5686556
Or you can headswap the orc builder head with him. Full armor, there.
>>5673371
>>>5686365
>Now you're obviously joking. But each figure comes with a strap. Buy 10 and go wild with your strapped knight. Grab an anime head and get it to fit too and you've got your dream.
>Four Horses gets licensing
>Animoo figs, sculpts
>Custom Sephiroth figs pop up
>>5686560
Different texture, shiny helmet on weathered body would look comical.
All I'm saying is that I wouldn't mind a deluxe version of no name army builder with slightly extra weathering paint rather than having them coming straight out of molded plastic with no paint.
>>5686597
Yeah, but you could easily drybrush it on. That's not really hard to do.
>>5686556
I like to see them as mind of a DIY kit myself.
A cheaper base to customise.
For those who already have some figures in-hand : does every character with an axe come with two blade pieces to make a dual bladed axe ? I can't seem to find the info. For example, on the prototype, Bothar Shadowhorn has a complete axe but on the finished product, I only see pictures of a single bladed axe.
>>5687596
You can go through the listed weapons for each character, BBTS posted them up with each character. Each one I saw with an axe were listed as coming with 2 blades as well as the part to make it single bladed.
>>5687596
Every axe set comes with both blades, both pommels and the spike point. Essentially anyone with an axe can have that Axe be single or dual bladed.
>>5686166
I really love his design, he's great. That said, he is exceptionally unique looking imo and I only needed one of him. I have multiples of all the other skellies coming in. Just my opinion.
>>5686597
The Deluxe Orc Builder has the correct head.
>>5674287
And I just snagged one on ebay. I rest easy easy once again.
Is there a known bootleg of 4H stuff? So I just got Nitmuss the Golden Eagle from ebay. I didn't have any other bird figure so I can't really compare the quality but 50% of the joints were stuck, there were paint bleeding on his beak, and on the back it says Eagalus the bald eagle rather than Nitmuss
>>5687992
congrats
how much did you get it for. i've seen them sit around 120-150. also did you get the red or the black goat
>>5687860
I really hate the orc builder. I wanted a bare-chested one. This one just seems "less" Orcy. I also wanted a bare head but that general orc somehow looks less fierce. I'm pretty sure his fangs and ears are shorter, even if I decided to swap heads, assuming the skin tone matched.
I was tempted to get a builder skeleton and paint it red instead of getting the red one.
The builder dwarf didn't have the beard that Bothar Shadowhorn had so I had to get Bothar, and I wanted the bearded head on the barbarian builder so I couldn't spare that.
Just none of the cheap builder figures were good enough for me.
>>5689640
Nope. They're too small so far to get that kind of attention.
>>5689640
Stuck paint joints was actually common with the birds when they shipped iirc, so that's not really a defect, if anything you got an early test run version as even the ML figures were packed in Eagalus's boxes when they first showed up in package. It's most likely authentic, but probably one that didn't leave the factory under "legal" means.
>>5689744
I kind of agree...to a point. The legion builders did what they set out to do, be simple, nondescript versions of the figures to fill out armies with. But they still could've done some thing to make them more interesting on their own, and some of them could've really benefited from some different color schemes. Also, they should've had alternate heads, the knights with the bucket and shell head, the dwarves with armored and half-helm beard heads and the skeletons with bare and hooded skull heads.
Also, for poops and giggles, I decided to arrange the characters in an image by faction and I was honestly surprised to find how balanced the "Good" and "Evil" sides were. I did group the legion builders into specific factions that I felt they work best with, but even without them the sides are pretty well matched. I'm still sad I couldn't go all in, especially now that I see how well they'd look grouped with their proper factions.
>>5689736
100 even. Black head, which is the one I was leaning more towards.
>>5689812
>Stuck paint joints was actually common with the birds when they shipped iirc
That brings up a good question. Were the Mythic figures needing the same hot water/hair dryer process out of package or did they come a bit more ready to pose?
>>5689812
>stuck paint joints
>not really a defect
It is actually a defect, just because it's a common QC issue doesn't mean that it's not. Unless they designed it that way, which I hope they didn't.
>>5689982
You're a moron if you think that's a 'defect'. That is not a defect, by any definition.
>>5689986
What do you mean? It's a production defect. It's why items are batched rather than full runs, so these sorts of defects can be taken care of.
In my hype for these I ended up buying the Raven and paying a stupid price for the Raven battlepack accessorise.
Fuck my brain.
>>5690061
Did you get the skeletal add-on as well?
>>5690067
Nah. That didn't interest me much.
I did want the wings but I don't like how the bid frequency is on it.
>>5689936
I only have one so far, but his elbows and knees were just a bit tight. Hot water would probably be a good idea, but I just gently worked them back and forth a few times.
God, the capes are garbage. I got tibius today and they're just a mess to put on. I was expecting better.
>>5691945
Pics?
These are still shipping right? I shouldn't be worried yet?
>>5692265
I don't know when you ordered the figures but they are just done with the backers all-in orders, then they will ship all the other backers' order, beginning with the bigger orders, and so on until the last preorders from may. If you ordered some weeks ago, don't expect your figures before july at least.
>>5692268
Oh ok, I was a backer but I guess I missed the part about shipping all the all in orders first. Gotcha.
>>5692272
It will help creating space by shipping the biggest orders first, since they seem to have some storage issues.
i understand shipping a figure is like 11.50, but why the fuck are armor sets the same shipping cost?
>>5692282
Flat rate shipping?
I'm so impatient. I just wanna see if I will like these toys once they are in hand. I loved the Birds I got.
Still no word on the 2nd wave of birds release date?
For those who had the figures, how are the head of helmetless character? Are they just as silly in hand as in promotional pics? They're way too big if you ask me
>>5692688
They're more proportional than the pics would lead you to believe. Other than for the classic knight aesthetics, the faces are some of the best headsculpts in the line.
>>5689812
So what's the story again? Spooky skellies are invading the world and shiny eagle knights had to defend the realm that's given. But how about the Orcs? Why aren't the dwarves united in one faction? Why is that one skelly on the bottom right corner not with the other skellies?
>>5689812
Wait, are we going to get figures of their gods like we did with Eathyron?
>>5692794
All the baddies are under Gorgo Aetherblade, so all factions kind of just blend together. Humans and dwarves, and everything else for the bad guys.
Dug up some more pics while I was waiting for my BBTS order to get here. Should come in on Friday, I only grabbed Urzokk and Tibius so then I could have 2 skellies. Also grabbed a weapon set 2.
Anyway, here's the good stuff...
>>5693311
>>5693314
>>5693314
I regret choosing the bad guy dwarf over this one.
>>5693320
>>5693325
Not a good pic but a great mash-up.
>>5693331
>>5693341
So I just got the Barbarian builder set opened up. How the hell do you change the skirt?
>>5693391
the body and legs/waist assembly split up. They're attached together via a balljoint. Please post some pictures with your favourite builds, this thread needs more pics !
>>5693403
Thanks for that!
>>5693423
>Only in this strange realm for an hour and I've already slain a weird fire-spewing knight.
>>5693445
I don't know what that is, either. I just like the beardless head and with only the one strap my autism won't let me use both pauldrons.
>>5692675
The birds are supposedly coming in June around the same time as the 1.5 Legion figures.
>>5692794
All the different factions kind of have different goals and motives, so it's a bit more involved then simple "bad guys attack good guys". There's still a lot of details missing, and we really only got short bios of the five evil factions on top of the individual character bios to work with.
The good guys:
The Order of Eathyron is kind of like a religious order pledged to protect the world from evil. However at one point it lost it's prominence for some unknown reason and is only now regaining the respect of the people due to the leadership of Gideon and his loyal knights.
The Army of Leodysseus is more the army of the state, and the current leader, Attila, stepped up when his brother, Atlus, left the army for some reason and was then banished from the country. While out on his own, Attlus formed his own group of warriors with the help of his friend and ally Thord.
Xylonia's Flock are citizens of an isolated mountain forest kingdom, Asterion is the captain of the guard for the forest maze that protects it's borders and Orn is a prince from one of the larger towns. They're just kind of...there...and don't seem to really be involved.
And Jorund is just a rare Dwarven Wizard who goes about doing wizardy dwarf things.
As for the Villains:
Gorgo is a mysterious evil knight working to unleash his dark lord Arethyr. Urzokk and Thord, as well as their respective clans, are allied with and under Gorgo due to his promises of riches, power and the chance to wreck stuff up. Essentially, they're just a marauding horde.
The Skeletons are all followers of the dark god Necrominus, with their leader being his last remaining "son". They're essentially undead religious fanatics who want THEIR god to come back and wreck stuff up. (Personally, I think the goblin would be better suited with the Legion of Arethyr)
...cont
>>5693466
The Circle of Poxxus is actually a coven of evil magic users of all different types who worship the evil god Poxxus. These guys also want their god to be A #1! The two demons we got so far are actually two halves of a once powerful demon king that was split in half by Poxxus himself when he was dragged into the main reality of the whole story.
The Brood is just a bunch of Vampires. Fancy, hungry, evil Vampires. The purple one is a vampire noble and the other one was a Vamp who liked beating stuff up so much he had a magical suit of armor made so he could beat things up even more. However the armor was cursed and slowly ate the vamp as he ate the people he beat up until all that was left was an empty suit of evil armor that eats people. Essentially he's a vampiric dullahan.
And Skapular is all out on his own because he basically wanted nothing to do with any of the gods or armies or crap like that and just wanted to be rich. So he started his own band of mercenaries and just tears stuff up and rakes in the cash.
Again, a bit more then just "Good v Evil" as a lot of the factions on the same side of the fence can easily end up fighting each other. I'm sure when wave 2 comes about we'll get more characters for each group, and when the Art book actually ships we'll get more of the story fleshed out.
>>5692932
Hopefully, some of em sound pretty cool. And seeing how the majority of the evil factions are all fighting to bring their god to the real world, it would be cool to see what they actually looked like.
>>5693479
I *really* wanted to go all-in+ but at the time I couldn't even afford it (had to buy a damn ring instead lol). But these guys were made to compliment each other. Even though a majority of them literally have the same parts, their colors and head sculpts give them so much personality it's hard to be bothered by it.
>>5693781
Some look unique enough due to their heads and what not, but I wasn't inclined to get nearly all the characters because I want them to look unique. Paint work can only differentiate something so much, especially if identical heads are used.
>>5693813
Yeah. I just want to get one knight, one skellington, Asterionn, and MAYBE an orc. In addition to the barbarian I've already got.
Also wish Otho had a helmeted alt head.
>>5689812
Hm. The skeletons and knights are pretty good though.
I just wish between the two dwarves that one of them had a beard. I'd prefer Bothar's style over Thord's, even though Bothar's is on 3 figures already {the KS exclusive, and one of the barbarian builder's}
>>5693320
>>5693348
Staaaarting to regret not getting more variety of knights. At least Sir Ignatius, even though I got the same mold as the Blood Knight.
and wishing I got at least a couple plain skeletons, at least one to keep plain and one to repaint red for that invincible skeleton style. Was that CastleVania or Prince of Persia? CV, I think.
Ah well. I got so much. Attlus + barbarian builder + Bothar are going to be a bounty of buff beards, with Jorund the battlemage to back them up with more beard.
>>5693445
>>5693448
Warduke's an old AD&D character
he had a toy way back when and appeared in old modules, even serving as the Big Bad of the unofficial game Rise of the Warduke
He's a pretty cool character that has a sort of Boba Fett appeal to him, I guess.
Shit, forgot about these till they popped up on the BBTS main page.
Need me a skeleton.
>>5693348
>I will never have the money for this kind of shit
>>5694625
I spent 2 grand on the recent preorder sale because I missed out on the kickstarter
feels good for the most part
>>5693348
can you show the silver knight without the puffy red helmet thing?
>>5694636
Goddamn. That's a lot to drop at once. Hope you like your toys.
>>5695039
Owain or the builder?
Not the same anon, but I do have him.
>>5695050
Not the anon you're talking to, but this thread needs more in-hand pictures, so post away !
>>5695088
I agree with this anon, I posted all the pics but none of them are mine. I'm still waiting.
Here's to hoping it rotates properly.
Here's Sir Owain without the plume.
Skulltan Builder with Tibius' extra head. (It's the one that has the hinged jaw)
Tibius. I really hated how they did the cloaks for these figures, so here is without it.
He comes with a special skirt piece that lets you sheathe two weapons. All of the weapons in this pic are his, except for the twohanded sword.
Another thing - Skeletons are the only figures in this line that can twohand the swords but this is about the best posing you're gonna get with the sword. They weren't made to do this, honestly.
Gideon. He comes with an extra bucket helmet but goddamn his helmet and face sculpt is immaculate. The flip down visor makes him truthfully unique.
>>5695125
I'm really hoping for more accessible helmets.
With luck wave 2 might have something with the Gothic Knight look. Always did like their style.
>>5695119
dammit i shouldve bought sir owain :|
>>5695248
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=FHM10102&mode=retail
7 left, get one before regretting it and paying scalper prices.
So I got Ignatius from BBTS and he had a mold mark on his helmet. BBTS refused to take responsibility, saying that they studied other figure that they have and the mold mark is common. I know they're sold out on Ignatius, are they just bullshitting me? I know it is futile to call them on their bullshit, but I can't stand someone just lie straight through their teeth
>>5695290
are you serious with the mold mark ? I can understand not liking what BBTS said but come on, you cannot consider this a big enough problem, right ?
>>5695292
I'm talking about the hole on his head, not the mold lines. it is a gnarly looking recess and looks like he had been shot with a sniper rifle
>>5695316
just pretend it's battle damage from fighting
>>5695290
it's a sprue mark
don't make such a big deal out of it
It's a toy.
>>5695290
>refused to take responsibilty
Weird, I got a figure from them and it was messed up and they completely refunded me. Had to return the figure obviously but eh
>>5695125
Wait, why do you have the visor upside down ?
Sir Wooly has arrived and now begins his journey to Castle-Superbeast.
(also the toy is pretty damn good. love the weapons. so pretty)
>>5695490
........is that a picture of Brak and his mom?
>>5695490
He looks great
just watch your pies around him
>>5695492
good eye ^_-
