I too, was INSTANTLY drawn to this figure and have anticipated him most. I AM a knight guy and I'm glad that I went heavy (for me) this time. I got 6 total. I didn't want to have Red Shield Soldier regret this time and only have 2 and then struggle trying to get them on the aftermarket. They sold out INSTANTLY during the ISS which is surprising
He looks awesome. I haven’t gotten him yet as he’s in my retail order but I can’t wait. Really happy that they’re doing 1.0 elves. Now we need a 1.0 shadow elf!
Yeah there is something about this figure that screams total “bad-assery” lol yeah I said that haha.anyways he was part of my first order ever with ML along Lady Averona and Boreus.Great review my dude and keep up the good work.🤙🏼👌🏻
Jared, I will be honest the shield for me was a bit much maybe I overthinked it as it seemed so impractical. It's a toy and the customizing options have won me over😅. I was sold on everything else, head sculpts, helmet options, armor ,weapons choice, and color scheme. Great review ✌️
Anything productive you'd like to contribute to the discussion, or is it dunking on Legions just because? Since in your other comments you like comparing Four Horsemen to Hasbro and always bitch about the part recycling, I will also do it. Hasbro, one of the worldwide biggest toy corporations, took over Marvel Legends in 2006. They didn't need to start from scratch, they took over a lot of molds and concepts that the line was famous for. In the past 17 years they did improve some of the articulation, improved some molds, they did add the digital face printing and switched over to digital sculpting ... most of which was more progress in the industry rather than their own will to make a better product. As of today they put out some cool MCU and Star Wars figures but also a lot of cheap repaint garbage because Hasbro likes to cut corners on sculpt, accessories and paint, as evidenced by the newest PS5 Spidey. Also they increasingly raised the prices and are constantly doing overpriced Kickstarters ... as an established, rich corporation with big licenses. Four Horsemen was established by 3 toy designers/sculpters who previously designed figures for other brands. Since 2005 they've been working on their own projects and come 2013 launched their first Kickstarter. That's also how the first two big Mythic Legions Waves got to exist, but ever since all of their products have been introduced via standard pre-orders. The very same designers who run the company and sculpt the toys are members of the online fan groups and keep tabs on what the community says about their product. Ever since the introduction of the first wave the line has been slowly expanding and improving by adding more body types, more amor and weapon types, by improving articulation and working on QC issues. The most recent improvement to the line is introduction of detailed and wired softgoods on many of the toys. By no means are Four Horsemen a perfect brand, some figs do have questionable prices and QC isn't always where it needs to be. The Cabal is indeed prone to overhyping and fanboyism, like a lot of fan groups of different toy lines. Haven't seen a fan-group of toys that is actually self aware. What I can say is that the communication between fans/customers and the head of the company is much more accessible and effective compared to Hasbro, Mattel, McFarlane and Bandai/ Tamashii Nations. So, dear action figure NPC ... why do you compare a small, self-made brand with a giant mega corporation and come to the conclusion that you can dunk on both equally? Never mind that Four Horsemen design their own characters, so the reuse is just part of the concept. Hasbro reuses parts even if it's inappropriate for the given character design 🤷🏻♀️
