    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    Last update I heard was they were just wrapping up production on them. Could be any day now. I know they’re working to get everything they can on the water before Chinese New Year. I think the next Cosmic and Rising Sons waves will hit kind of simultaneously. The retailer wave might be close...

    So last year was Roadblock and this year is Firefly? Interesting little lineup homages they’re doing now.

    It’s a ball. So ball at the mid torso and another ball at the waist.

    I see Dorklair Bill in the Paladin sculpt but that may be more to do with the beard’s black and grey paint up than actual likeness to him. I don’t see Connery in Enoch either. Maybe more the Templar Knight from Last Crusade but again, maybe it’s the context doing that. I really haven’t noticed...

    It’s been a while since we’ve seen some legion builders. Maybe we’ll finally get some that aren’t Knight bodies? This mouse body would certainly be a popular one, especially if they matched the paint so the mouse king heads would work with it.

    Agreed. Having things scale with existing lines will help sell these. Classified and Marvel Legends seem the most logical things to scale this to in 6”. Introducing something that people can add to their active collections now rather than vintage or vintage scaled lines seems to help gain...

    Couldn’t help myself and looked at the spoiler. Not sure why they felt the need to keep it a secret. It’s a cool addition that may convince a few more to buy the figure. These secret items really ought to be more along the lines of the golden gag accessories at the Armory experience rather than...

    I wish the Horsemen would do more with translucent parts like that. I love the effect Marley had going from invisible to solid. Quoi’s fins turned out really nice too. Jersey Devil’s wings plused up that old sculpt too. With having a few recent waves set in cold environments it’s disappointing...

    I mean I get they have a shipping team of like 3 people and even with bringing in a few extra helpers for these big drops, filling hundreds to thousands of orders is going to take time. I think we all are understand of that. But when orders placed at the beginning get skipped over for orders...

    I’ve been genuinely curious for years now what exactly drives their shipping order. I ordered an all-in within seconds of the first drop going up and still don’t have a shipping notification. I then went back a few hours later after looking things over and ordered 2 more. I’m curious if the...

    Nice to see that multiple heads used there too.

    Yep Krampus was the first. He’s the only FO figure not officially packaged under the FO branding since they really didn’t know they were creating a new line rather than just a one-off figure until the packaging was finalized. Hard to believe how much the line has grown and evolved since then...

    Father Christmas was a little iffy with the execution. The robe did the heavy lifting. He’s fully armored underneath and not by design but necessity. Thankfully, they’ve gotten better at creating new parts when needed and not relying much on old tooling. I still think Scrooge is an interesting...

    Tonight’s livestream they framed the Mouse King as the intermission of a 4 act play, with getting back to what we’re wanting afterwards so that really made it sound like 1) Ghost of Christmas Past will be next year 2) Scrooge seems to be unlikely at this point. Multiple times over the past week...

    I suspect you’re right. The Christmas figures are produced in greater numbers as they are kind of ‘evergreen’ so people can still get those traditional characters long after their initial offerings. The mouse king is apparently one of their best selling ones in a while, no doubt thanks to the...

    Yeah that email made it sound like they added something new there at least. The only ‘new’ items were Wal Tor and Demeatros but they snuck them up on Saturday.

    Watched a few live group videos of the reveal yesterday and Jeremy did say that Ganesha, Jersey Devil, and the Mouse King all do not have any retailer editions planned at this time. Should demand warrant it, they’d consider them down the line but they aren’t in the plans for the foreseeable...

    I think the stand this time was mostly because of how top heavy the figure is. Dorklair mentioned that a few times in his review but it sounds like between the big mouse feet and the tail that he actually holds his balance fairly well. I just wish the stands were more environmental in design...

    The official site is actually quite resourceful with lots of links to customizing and parts and what not. Might take some time sifting through it all. https://www.sourcehorsemen.com/mythic-legions/ml-101 The other ankles are meant for the 2.0 bodies (females, elves) that are a little thinner...

    I feel the Horsemen still listen to and interact with the fans more than any other toy company. They still don’t always make the choices we might like them to, but they do hear and acknowledge the feedback. The Legendary Barbarian quick sell out is a recent example where they admitted they...

    Yeah, the leaning into the teaser being for Christmas Present is the bad part. Yeah, I’m disappointed it wasn’t him, but now that the initial shock is over, I’m digging the Mouse King. A cool figure is a cool figure. I think they didn’t do themselves any favors with that deak though. Many are...

    The little black bag with the secret accessory seems head-sized so I’m going to guess it’s a mouse skull head. That gives the turpiculi another monstrosity head option.

    I don’t think Nutcracker will be much of a line beyond an addition of the Nutcracker himself. The Mouse King and Nutcracker squaring off would make a nice display. If FO releases weren’t so much on the higher side, I’d be tempted to pick up another two of these for some Mouse King...

    Jeremy is already doing damage control assuring us they’re completing the Carol Ghosts eventually but that doesn’t mean anytime soon and doesn’t commit them to Scrooge either. I think people are more upset by the blatant tease of the Ghost of Christmas Present only for it to be something else...
