HOW TO COLLECT MYTHIC LEGIONS for Newbies - Action Figure Tips 

Pro tip: Don’t get attached to Thursday night legions with dorklair. They constantly stand you up. Especially Larry.

If you can go all in on a pre order go all in. I always end up wanting figures I didn’t pick up during the preorder afterwards. If you end up getting a figure you didn’t want you can easily sell it for retail or more afterwards. Oh and doing customs will require you to get multiples of a figure so keep that in mind if you have ideas for customs.

Excellent Tips- #2 is very on point. I bought a Vitus and got very hyped about the figure and wanted to collect all the Spartan like figures, Like Pixxus, Rahmulus and Deltigar the Destroyer. My wallet and credit card screamed and passed out at the prices sellers are asking for. I pumped the breaks , took a knee and realized I was in the Varsity side of collecting. I settled down and was able to preorder Rahmulus in All-stars 5 preorder. I am looking forward to hunting down Pixxus and Deltigar in the future .

Great advice. Another tip I would add is to have fun customizing figures. Painting them really isn't that hard if you have the time and patience. Tons of third party companies who print 3d parts allow you to make one of a kind figures. Plus, some of the older figures that are super high in price can easily be made by repainting common parts.

Great tips ! The first time, that I saw a Mythic Legions figure was in your channel. Then, I saw a video from Mythic Customs, and I was hooked. In other words, Mr. Girard and you got me involved with the line, and I am very grateful. I have never seen a fantasy line like Mythic Legions, and I have always loved Science Fiction and fantasy movies. I am looking forward flying to NJ from Puerto Rico, so that I can go to the Legions Con, and I hope that I can shake your hands. You are also a master customizer when it comes to kitbashing, so I wouldn't mind asking you a few questions in NJ.

Thanks a lot for this vidéo, i took my first Mythic Legions last week and it's not the last !

Completely agree but #2 has always been my struggle. All-Stars are a blessing, but there's still quite a handful of figures that I'm really interested that I don't see getting any time soon. Keeping my fingers crossed for a couple 2.0s in the Necronomious wave.

PreOrder go all in! The quality is worth it and you'll love them in hand

Thanks William

Patience is the name of the game with Mythic Legions. You have to be willing to wait if you want to collect this line of figures. I've been collecting Mythic Legions since the first Kickstarter. I do not have a complete collection. I only pre-order the figures that I like. Have I regretted skipping some figures after a pre-order is over? 100%. Is that the end of the world? Not at all. The Four Horsemen have in stock sale's and All Star pre-orders. The in stock sales have limited inventory. I personally prefer to focus on the All Star waves. The All Star pre-orders are a great way to get caught up if you skipped a figure. You just have to be patient.

I like don't look back, it's a good tip for all collectors of most lines.

I have another personal tip: PATIENCE I got on a massive binge buying legions because they are so awesome. So much so, I almost ran out of money for everything. And the figures that I bought, were cheaper some time after. Patience is key with this line.

Thanks for the tips! P.s. The star wars setup and poster are 🔥

Thanx, man. All good tips. 👍 👍

I’ve seen these, but had no idea what they were as it’s a new line with no supporting show, video game, comic, etc. I just knew they looked cool. Saw the creators on a show talking about the line & bought my first one today… Swigg. I’m definitely not gonna be a completionist on these. Just gonna get the one’s I really like when I see them. A tip the guy at the store told me was starting with Mythic I’d have a lot of backtracking to do. He told me to start with Cosmic as that’s the newer line with a 2nd wave coming November.

Gratitude. Sir Bill, I appreciate your quality. Mythic Legions is prime line of my current collecting. I'm a veteran-newbie to this line and am attempting to play catch up. Started in 06' with DC direct & Marvel Legends. However, as a fan of chess and Tolkien I was wanting a diverse line of sword & sorcery fantasy figures. Mythic Legions and BFS' Vitruvian Hacks line, which is a mini Mythic Legions to my eye, are indubitably the definitive golden fleece!

Patience is key - don’t over pay - most stuff comes back around

Thank you for the tips!

Great list and advice. My advice would definitely be focus on the one big wave that happens a year as that is where 4hm raise the bar creatively and also give you a cohesive group of figures. Unpopular to say this but I would avoid the cabal. I have joined it twice and just find its fandom a bit too much. Hard to explain but particularly during preorder periods all these people showing their preorders of $100s of figures is something not to get caught up in. I think the sourcemen site is great as is Mythic customs and the 4 horsemen o clock show it’s unlikely you will miss out on info if you regularly watch these resources. I would also say don’t order too much in one go and like Bill s advice embrace retail. Having said that if you do have buyers remorse the figures generally more than hold value and are easy to sell afterwards if needs be. Definitely look forward and there are always at least 5-10 absolutely Stella figures every year which are must haves and then through the all stars you can fill in any holes you have.

Great info as always Bill. #2 is a tough one.

Love yor tips! Dont look back its a great idea! Why pay 200 Dolars for one figure when you can buy 3 with the same ammount!!

Just got Alder man I looooooove this figure

I started the line when there was the instock sale on 4H website. Things I wished i knew was 1. That this was not a recurring thing. I missed out on a couple of figures, thinking these would be at retail afterwards - didn't know that wave was long gone. 2. I was not aware of what parts were new or not compatible 3. Did not know which figures were highly sought - made the same mistake for the deluxe barbarian in the in stock sale 4. As it was my first checkout, i stumbled a lot (being outside of the us) and some figures sold out by the time i wanted to check out I like the point about not looking back. I have missed out on so many figures - having started so late. But my question, is what is the acceptable price for a named figure once it is sold out at retailers. The price where people won't be like " you shouldn't have paid that much for this" I'm looking at a Magnus at around 75 (with tax and shipping - still got to ship it to my country) and I seriously don't know what to do.

Thanks for the tips. Gonna look for some retailers that sell them online since i haven't seen any at Walmart or target, hopefully I can find a cheaper way to make skeletor that doesn't require painting since I've never painted a figure at all.

I say don’t go down that rabbit hole and save your money!!!! Just kidding. On a serious note, this is not a hobby to get into if your struggling financially. For me, it’s don’t be afraid to try customizing your figures. It’s easy to pop and swap, but it took awhile for me to finally paint my first figure. I did better than I thought I would. Mythic Customs on RU-vid is a great place for beginner tips.

My #1 advice to new mythic collectors... never look back ... always look forward. Don't pursue the old stuffs, its always pricey. Just wait for the new release. The 4hm keep getting better.

Great advice!

I actually just pick up the new Karmpus fig and now am thinking I Might jump into mythic legions

Would be great if they did a European preorder scheme with a European based distributor stocking legions to avoid import taxes. In a way they do but with the 'retail companies' with marked up prices. Probably doubt it would happen unless a larger toy company bought them out

What I don't get is that some people sell stuff more than Ebay in some of the groups. Example Orc Deluxe Ebay 81.99 +8.99 shipping, FB group 110+ shipping.

My biggest mistake was buying an original Gorgo Aetherblade TWICE. the first time he was in awful condition, was not sold as described, so I resold him to fund ANOTHER one and that one was fine except his torso didn't stay on, it wasn't even a matter of the ball joint being loose and popping off easily, it just straight up didn't even fit and would fall off no matter what, once again sold not as described. After unsuccessfully spending roughly $600 or so between those two figures, reselling both to try to recoup my loses, AND seeing a few months later that 4H are redoing Gorgo and he looks even better?? That was my lesson to never go back and get old figures. Ever. The only exception I suppose is if you want the MOTU tributes, otherwise just be patient and I'm sure the character you want, or something similar, and more than likely even BETTER, will be released later. Be patient!

So I’m completely new to this line but just bought my first one( headless horseman) can you swap all parts on these figures?

Since getting into the line I try to order all my figures from the horsemen. I do pick up extras and ones I decided to skip lol from Bbts.

So is the idea to build an army? Or just collect all the figures you think look cool? There's a storyline to all of this I think I read but in general I like this line the more I see it, the figures are so awesome looking but I don't know what the goal is besides collecting whatever you like. Does building an army just add another layer of fun and how do you even build an army?! Are there general guidelines so you don't buy too much of one thing?

I just grabbed a Sir Owain from Amazon for $54, had to do some digging though, he doesn't show up under a "mythic legions" search unless you find him through the Vitus listing.

Also how can you tell which figures are going to be popular/hard to get? When you're waiting for that figure to drop that you just gotta have how do you know its going to be damnnn you got that figure before it sold out?! In general which figures tend to be met with that reaction?

Hello, I am starting to collect Mythic Legions, just wanted to know, when you pre order from the store directly ( fourhorsemen) , do they charge you at once or when they are ready to ship out?

I never understood why when pre orders are up on store horsemen and ppl are like " I'll wait till they hit big bad toys instead then pre order" I don't get why because those ppl obsessed with big bad toy store will pay 15-20 bucks more and will have to wait longer to get them, like why won't they just pre order them on store horsemen. Then there are those collectors who say " naw I don't want to pre order ill wait for the instock" lol horrible decision for peps to gamble on the instock
