I'm pretty sure that character is modeled after Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross. If you haven't seen it, it's pretty fun for what is essentially a talky David Mamet play on film.

Yes!
I’ve done the show twice: once as the Jack Lemmon part (in acting school, I was way too young obviously but that’s how acting school works) and then last year in the (maximum asshole) Ed Harris part.
Great show, absolutely vile characters.

Oh, he's totally Shelley Levene. Although I'm a bit of a traditionalist for the play; the only true version is the one starring Teddy from Bob's Burgers.

I think the status of the 10th anniversary book says a lot about their real priorities and ability to deliver anything aside from figures.
The figure which was announced with the book came out 6 months ago. The book has been "at the printers" for 3 months.
(See also The Art of Mythic Legions Book 1 with included trading cards and "Attack and Defend-style tabletop RPG" from the 1st ML Kickstarter, and the vaporware videogame Kickstarter.)

As I'm dicking around with the latest wave this afternoon I think I've decided I like Diis Paatar's base body enough and dislike the hands and scorpion stuff enough that I'm going to try to track down some of the basic leather armor feet and hands to swap them out for and just pop an extra head, maybe an elven helmeted head, onto the body to use it as a different character. I'm never going to display him with his little grippy hook hands but for once, I'm going to take advantage of the pop and swap stuff to make a more enjoyable figure out of him. The leaner body means only certain heads will look natural on him (I just tried a spare barbarian helmet just to check and he's a little Funko-Pop-shaped) but an elven head works just fine.

Meanwhile I've found I'm struggling to get Skapular's hips to spread to get him on a horse. I think they're a little too stuck. "Spent my afternoon trying to get a skeleton's legs open for me" is a phrase I just said. What is life.

Looks like the pathetic “pwease give us a million doll hairs ^w^” email didn’t move the needle as much as they wanted. (Looking over my spread sheet it was the worst performing desperation move so far. The GAMA Expo begging netted them 91 new backers with an Average $490 each, unlocking Rix early netted them 21 spending $500 each… this time they got 42 spending only $332, below the average pledge and not enough to right their course to $1m)

So now SURPRISE ITEM DROP! you can buy a bag of five skulls for $15, (three basic, two Mandibulus with the missing tooth cracked head and movinf jaw) I don’t know… maybe it’s because I’m a bone boy with a skelly army… I got plenty of skulls lying around, and I’d prefer to gussy up a “now they’re undead!” kitbash with like other bone parta not just a head swap… you want the bone boys to show up and goose those numbers just offer a basic bone colored no armor skeleton for $20. A nude unarmored bone color skeleton should not be one of the rarest figures in a fucking fantasy line.

Anyway, $15 for five skulls let’s see if this puts them back on track for $1m…
 
I would love for them to fail utterly, but as long as they're offering action figures for sale we know that's an impossibility. So I will settle for 'corporate failure' in the sense that they didn't make the ludicrous amounts of money they were not-very-quietly hoping for.

I was going to ask how they even fail since it seems like this is just a vehicle to sell toys and get name clout. I can't be convinced it's even about the game or a game plan with the little effort I've seen about it.

But then I guess the clout probably was their real endgame either way, so in that regard, it's a fumble.

Oh yeah, by fail I mean I would actively love for the Kickstarter to not make enough money to fund and be a giant public embarrassment to them. But, like we both said, it's basically a pile of action figures wearing a big TTRPG trenchcoat, so it's impossible for it to not fund no matter how much people seem to aggressively not give a shit about the TTRPG part.
