The 4H are literally bad at -everything-. Fucking clownshoes kind of shit every time I open this thread.yeah! It’s confusing because 1.0 just means fist Kickstarter, 2.0 means woman/elf/goblin, but then 3.0 is “males with upgraded articulation”, BUT THEN they call updated versions of older figures “2” which is NOT 2.0…
This is so deeply confusing, but Lord knows I recognize that good ol' rotary phone dial chest plate.yeah! It’s confusing because 1.0 just means fist Kickstarter, 2.0 means woman/elf/goblin, but then 3.0 is “males with upgraded articulation”, BUT THEN they call updated versions of older figures “2” which is NOT 2.0…
So here’s a guide!
This is a male 2.0 body, if a figure uses ANY of these parts: 2.0, 99% of all 2.0 males use this torso so it’s easy to spot.
Standard Gobbo! If you see this chest plate, it’s 2.0!
Scorpion guy actually introduces, finally after all these years, a new 2.0 male torso piece, so he’s the only male without the orb chest plate give away
The Tall Gray Alien in Cosmic I believe is also 2.0 compatible, but I’ve never felt the urge to swap parts on him to actually confirm. I think Neve is 1.0 compatible (The cosmic alien she shares arms with was) but mine has a tight waist and I haven’t had a chance to heat her to pop her apart to see if she can wear over belts or pants yet.
More or less how I feel every time I want to do something with their line. But I really want to make my Forge Cleric Paz Ironside.and the two pack was my only shot for now.The 4H are literally bad at -everything-. Fucking clownshoes kind of shit every time I open this thread.
I agree with Dek that, given enough time and no catastrophic collapses of the economy, Savage Crucible will be the contender for this. I'd go a step further and say, provided they don't their approach to customer satisfaction, Harvinger won't have much trouble eclipsing the 4H in terms of being the 'go-to' fantasy guys, with 4H mostly just picking up the slack on what SC hasn't made yet.Honestly if there were a better line for kit-bashing your D&D characters I'd be all over it but part of the reason I think a lot of us pay attention to this line is nobody else is really filling that gap. Anyone else doing fantasy stuff is very limited in options but at least here you can get some elves, dwarves, orcs, and gobelins or whatever.
Honestly though I'm lazy AF and my kit-bashes have primarily just been headswaps and maybe shoulder gear. I hate dismantling limbs and stuff.
I think if all goes well like you said, the only thing that can really hold back Harvinger is that they don't interact with the fans as much as 4H does. But I also get the impression from watching Rob Post in Livestreams and my (very) brief conversation with him is that he doesn't want to be friends with the fans, and I think that's good. He's not rude, he's not unpleasant and he will give you all his time until you decide its enough, but you are not making friends. And again I think that's a good thing. I've watched 3rd Party Transformer companies try to be friends with fans and it go really wrong, because when the fans are ultimately told no they take it very personal. They also take it very personal when what they want isn't produced, because they told them in forums what they wanted and the company reps were genial about it, so why didn't they make it for them? (Keep in mind a lot o Transformer 3rd Party fans are entitled, so your mileage may vary with these anecdotes.) It's like being a teacher; you can be friendly with your students but you can never be friends with your students. Respect the boundaries of the roles; Rob Post is the owner and we are the customers and that should be the boundary we all respect. All that said, I think Harvinger could benefit with more fan engagement through Instagram and Twitter posts. A photo a week will keep them ever present in the fan's mind. I think that's the reason behind their new strategy with their figure drops. They want to do around one a month, if it isn't smaller waves, so that you think of them fairly regularly. Whether you like him or not Dan Yun is very good at reminding you about upcoming product on a fairly regular basis, he keeps Marvel Legends on you mind. I want that for Harvinger.I agree with Dek that, given enough time and no catastrophic collapses of the economy, Savage Crucible will be the contender for this.

Give savage Crucible 2 - 3 years to build up a parts catalog and I really do think they may become 4H's biggest competitor in this market. The new parts from Death Dealer and Elric will allow for some new figure types. Elric alone may signal that knights may be on the horizon, considering almost all of him is new armored part from what I can tell.
Man, I really want Death Dealer and his Horse so much. And that Fury Toys red Tiger.
I'd love that. Let's see some female figures, some more variety (what they've done so far is INCREDIBLE but looking forward to seeing knights, mages, some alternate humanoids, etc). I'll happily convert over. 4H has just been the only game in town for too long so there's a pile of figures and parts to pop and swap with for those who do that kind of thing, but SC are objectively better figures.I agree with Dek that, given enough time and no catastrophic collapses of the economy, Savage Crucible will be the contender for this.
