>>
I picked up one of the black-armored orcs because I've been meaning to try out this line for a while, and... Are they all this sketchy quality wise? Half of his joints got super floppy after 5 minutes of messing around with him, and his wrist pegs are so short they literally fall out holding the weight of his axe. He's a beautiful figure, but he's probably not coming off the shelf.

Also, are everybody else's wrists hinged the wrong way to use a sword? QC problems on a kickstarted line are sort of understandable, but that's an odd mistake to make.
>>
>>6374050
its gonna be 2 years until we get our stuff?
>>
>>6374985
Yes the 1.75 covenant of darkness line has terrible QC, which is a shame. The in and out hinge on the wrist is also a shame, up and down wrist hinge would've been much better
>>
>>6375227

more like 1.3 years or something, but with how slow 4H are, yeah might as well just say 2

Up and down is only useful for challenging other toys to fencing duels. I'd rather it just be a ball joint so you get both.

You can add another tally to the the unending wait club membership totals.

I know they're a bunch of old men that are confused and intimidated by today's devil voodoo technology, but there is literally no reason for them to not request a bulk FedEx pick-up. Fuck this "we're a small company and can only ship what fits in my car's trunk!" nonsense.
>>
Completely newfag to this line.

Can someone give me a brief of what is this about? Lore, average price, articulation, scale...
>>
>>6375852
They're basically knights. Usually 22-35 bucks duringbthe sales/kickstarter. Articulation is pretty decent. Simil a r to marvel legends but on ball jointed heads, single jointed elbows and knees. Can be restricted by the armor as well. They are 1/12 scale.
>>
>>6375852
>Lore
A medieval fantasy setting, they have a canon but most ignore it.

>average price
pricey on KS, expensive from 4H, & full rape on Ebay

>articulation
hotly contested but I'm OK with it

>scale
on par with Mattel Wrestling figures & their now defunct MOTU line.

I got my order today, but it wasn't what i ordered. I'm going to be really bummed out if i miss out on my skeletons. They gave me a legion builder instead of my skapular
>>
>>6382491
Man that's disappointing. Considering how quickly things sell out I hope they have some in their goody bag for you. Mine should be here tomorrow. Good luck getting through to customer service. Seems like you have to be relentless to get a response from them.

Which legion builder? I think you should 100% be upset but you could probably sell the legion builder for like 2.5x the price.
>>
>>6382491
>They gave me a legion builder instead of my skapular
Lol good luck waiting for another 6 months for their terrible CS
>>
>>6382491
Luckily Skapular isn't that rare yet, they should be able to exchange no problem.
>>
Just got an email that 4H refunded me 10 bucks for the double trollble pack. Glad they are getting on that since it only became cheaper after sold out when it should have been the entire sale.
>>
>>6376548
It's far from normal for a company, whatever size, to take 2 weeks after printing a shipping label to get something sent out. These guys are known to ship slow, it's just their thing.
>>
>>6383806
>>6376548

It's not so much the wait, which is bullshit, but the fact that they constantly post updates saying they are doing things, and then don't do them, and then make another post saying that they will actually finish what they said they would do a week after that. Also every update is like:

That sucks, man. Those are selling for quite a bit if you ever happen to be unable to get your exchange. You could just ebay that and with the money grab a skapular elsewhere.

My templar is finally coming in tomorrow. I hope it was worth the weight. Literally took an entire month.
>>
>>6390636
It's only about 12 oz or something but surely he's worth that weight in plastic.

In all honestly the figure is pretty damn neato. You have different collar pieces, a shield, a polearm weapon, sword, and a faction flag. I put my polearm tip on the smaller piece of the flagpole so he has a sort of 1 handed weapon and a shield. Neat figure!

He's a really great figure. Probably the best value of them all since he was 22 bucks and comes with decent paint as well as fun accessories.

New to Mythic Legions
Is there a place I can still preorder stuff or did I miss the boat on that?
>>
>>6395577
You've missed the boat for now. At some point they'll take some sort of vote to see which Series 1 figures will be rereleased, and then sometime after you'll be able to preorder those, but you're too late for series 2 and we don't know when they're gonna do the series 1 rereleases.
>>
>>6395577
You missed the boat on 2 preorder waves so far. There is one more pre order coming up

>LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL 2017 - FINAL PRE-ORDERS FOR MYTHIC LEGIONS: ADVENT OF DECAY!

Some of the the 1.5 - 1.75 stuff is still being sold at BBTS, but at an increased price. usually 10-20 bucks. except the trolls, they are twice as expensive.

Don't bother on ebay unless you're willing to pay 2x-4x the cost.

As for the original figures

Majority most likely will be- I'm happy for Orcs since I didn't jump on til 2.0 and missed out on all of 1.0 (got lucky with a few 1.75's on that last StoreHorsemen sale)

I can see them do a "Ceasar-type" figure who watches over battles or a warrior queen, that's not the Barbarian Bod, also hoping for another beastman or battle mage. A vampire Barbarian would be cool also

Will this kill the chance of Orc Builder #1 getting reissued?

I kinda hated all the naked bodies, for practical reason that even historic barbarians like the Vikings however ghetto backwards they are do wear some semblance of armor rather than going in bare chested like all the fantasy barbarian depictions
>>
>>6396106
Not having an Atlus, or many Barbarians in general (aka I have one), I will definitely be grabbing this guy. The mix of colors and tones as well as the use of the different feet for the spiked boots makes him stand out against previous Barbaric characters. And again, not having Atlus, the head reuse is not an issue for me.

Between him and the new Orc Builder, I'm all in on the new stuff so far.

>>6398525
They won't use the female buck in this wave because this is yet another all 1.0 part wave. These things will be produced and shipped long before 2.0 sees a release (they plan to have them in hand by Powercon in Sept).

We know Not-Skeletor is also in this wave and he has armor, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a Vitus head reuse on an armored body (or cloth preferably) as some sort of Royal Guard. Barbari-vamp has been requested for a while now so that's a possibility, and a Bog Goblin reuse would be pretty interesting. There's still plenty of potential with the 1.0 figures that don't involve the bare chest torso.

>>6403091
The original Orc Builder and Skele Builder have *slightly* different shades of grey armor. The Orc's one has this slight flecking to give it a bit of a shimmer in person. But their armor isn't too far off from each other, as long as it's spaced out with bare/bone limbs you most likely won't notice the difference.

Four Horsemen Studios announce the return of Power Lords - Little Falls, NJ (July 5, 2017)

Four Horsemen Studios is happy to once again announce the return of Power Lords to your action figure collections! After an extended hiatus we have been granted an extension of the Power Lords license so that we may continue to recreate the revolutionary designs created for the original action figure line. Our goal with this extension is to not only complete the original lineup of 4" scaled Power Lords characters, but also to delve into the amazing concept characters that were to be part of the proposed third wave, and beyond.

Prototypes from our new wave of figures will be on display at San Diego Comic Con (July 19-23) at booth # 3345, along with details on our massive relaunch sale coming later this year. For more information and upcoming announcements and reveals please keep your eyes on SourceHorsemen.com and PowerLordsreturn.com.

Oh good, finally.

I was wondering if they were going to upscale the line and redo it. I was regretting not placing some PO for the mythic ladies but I rather put all my money on this instead.I like the designs better.

Of all the toys I've pondered buying/bought, these figures seem the most outrageously priced. I am seriously considering the knight builder set but $70 for what effectively looks like something you could pick up at Toys R Us for $30 seems steep. Are they really worth it?

>>6394027
I'm starting to seriously get into Dark Souls, which is what spawned my interest in these figs. How well do they fit the bill?
>>
I've managed to have little interest in most of the Mid-wave releases so far, only grabbing one or two per release. But this time around, I kind of want them all, including multiples of the two Legion Builders. The Not-Warduke looks pretty nice, and is the first time they've mixed the cloth torso with the bare limbs. Not-He-man is also a nice reuse of parts, and combined with some smart color choices, managed to make the metal faulds look like leather, which hasn't been done yet. And the Thord-head repaint just looks fantastic and is easily my favorite Dwarf released so far.

And of course the two Legion Builders are perfect for bolstering the Legion of Arethyr, adding some more variety to the Orcish Hordes while also giving Gorgo some personal guards to keep said Orcs in check. I could easily grab three to four of each if I had the funds.

And there's still Not-Skeletor to be officially revealed. Hopefully this wave caps off at six figures, because I can't afford any more then that.
>>
>>6415479

$70 is pretty steep for these guys, even the original $50 for the Knight Builder was on the high end imo as you only get one actual figure so you'd be left with a pile of spare parts and weapons. If you're on the fence, perhaps pick up one of the figures coming in the next pre-order (buy now, get the figure in hand in about 6 months) as you'd spend far less money that way. The Black Knight and Orc figures should only be $22-25ish each and would give you a better idea of the quality of the figures. Hopefully the Knight Builder will see a re-release in the next All-Star wave and you'd be able to grab it for it's initial price if you actually liked the other figures you bought first.

As for how they fit the "Dark Souls" bill, I'd say pretty damn nicely with a bit of minor modding and custom accessories. You won't be able to make a perfect Elite Knight's set or anything, but you can definitely create a figure that has a similar vibe to that aesthetic.

It looks really good, actually. And beyond that, I think that's really nice that they're doing this in that guy's memory, and if it helps out his family, even better.

Finally a good base to make a Rhaegar Targaryen. Put some gold highlights, the dragon head ornament, and some tiny red stones on the chest.
>>
>>6416193
>It looks really good, actually
No it doesn't. Awkward toned red blue black gold belt leather brown straps and fleshtone, it has too many colors going on for him. The longhorn is atrocious and looks out of place on Gorgo helmet. The combination of the jaggy "evil" gauntlet and greaves with the rounder shoulderpads also looks terrible, and they can't use the jaggy shoulderpads because it impede articulation with the longhorn attached to the helmet. He looks like lvl.12 MMO character wearing mismatched looted gear.

If you want to donate to the family, you can just directly donate rather than sieving it through the 4H and just have a certain percentage of your money go to the family.

Wouldn't that be in bad taste considering the guy is dead
>>
>>6416693
He's inspired by the old D&D Warduke figure so he is indeed right out of the 80's with his color palatte. It's also the first time they used the bare limbs with the tabard body so it makes him stand out even more on a shelf. I do kinda wish he had an alt head of some kind as that helmet gets used way too much imo. So people on the 4H forums did a mock up of the red cloth parts mixed with the black knight builder and that combo alone makes this figure worth buying.

He'll be available just like last year's Powercon exclusives. You can get him in person at the con and buy him during the preorder for the rest of the wave for those who can't go to the con. The people buying it at Powercon though will receive theirs first.

Cornboy has said several times in the past how the 4H are dead set against making "con exclusives" unavailable anywhere outsides the con.

>>6420240

I like it but...

>>6420249
>Couldn't they have at least changed the hands to make it look slightly different?

Gotta agree. Some new hands or feet would have really helped. Since he's an "Arena Troll" some armor pieces would have been cool. Maybe a shield and sword?

I'm surprised they didn't just make a few different body pieces from the start so they could just interchange them with the torso to make different combos.

I have the other Trolls and while I like them, I jusyt don't think they're really worth the money the 4H are asking.

Nope.

The articulation on the trolls is shit.
Even Hasbro's giant monsters have better articulation, where the ball hinges work like ball-hnges, instead of 4H's that works more like swivels.
Compare the Rancor's ankles actually staying flat to the ground vs the 4H ankles not being able to conform to the floor.

Very disappointing that basically makes it a McStatue or some T-hipped Kenner 80s toy.

You mean, the other problems that they do have since they were released, like joints rubbing up against each other and scraping paint off? Or how they could use more tooling to make them not look like cheap redecos, like different hands or feet?

Such neverending criticism for such perfect toys....

>>
>>6420375
I love the 4H's figures and I'll probably be getting far more of this wave then I really should be, but even I agree that the Troll's articulation is sadly limited. I get they had to try and keep costs down, but many of the articulation issues come from sculpt designs more then the joints themselves. These guys ARE very nice looking figures, but they're also limited and that's fairly disappointing.

The rest of the wave looks fantastic, I'll be getting at least half the wave though I would love to get them all with multiples of the troop builders (the Arethyr Legion just keeps growing). Some very creative part mixtures, interesting color usage and some nice homages. I figured I'd be burnt out on these series one parts but the 4H manage to surprise me once again.
>>
>>6420490
Are you Cornboy's eight year old son or something?

>They're very disappointing

I wouldn't go that far.

For the record, I do still love my trolls. I like them a lot. I just don't think they're worth $100. At $70, I'd say they were excellent. At $100, they're a bit too much.

As for the limited articulation, I only wish the arms had some better movement. The legs are fine IMO. With more articulation I fear the trolls would constantly fall over. These aren't fucking ninja trolls or something. I don't need to put then in martial arts poses.

Are you legitimately retarded, dude? Other toy-lines manage to cost the same or less and be better. Why wouldn't these be able to? I'm not talking over-hauling their entire line just new sculpts here and there, improved articulation when possible.

And you're going "No none of that is necessary everything's as good as it will ever need to be" when that just isn't the case.
>>
>>6420636
>Other toy-lines manage to cost the same or less and be better

Sure they do, kid. Please, do try to compare these to mass market toys run by huge companies that can make deals for Chinese labor and factories and milliions of pieces produced.
>>
>>6420615
To be fair, 2.0 is said to have some notable improvements over the original wave, main in that the hips will have that soft detenting found in the shoulders and the elbows will have a better range of motion. They'll also have the upper ab movement in addition to the waist joint. These guys are improving, but the already tooled parts are already tooled so there's not much that can be done about that.

I completely agree that these guys could've been better, especially the Trolls for how high of a price point they come with. They're still great toys though, but it's obvious you feel the same.

The other guy is just trolling though so it's best to just ignore him.
>>
>>6420483
>everyone always knew that they were basically gonna be big vinyl display pieces to stand there
Who the hell thought this?

We knew it wouldn't have that much articulation, that was very apparent from the start, but we didn't know it was be so limited.
We know from various other toy makers that giant figures usually don't feature a lot of articulation, but at least they get a decent amount of range from their joints.

The trolls are very bad in this regard. A fucking Hasbro oversized toy is better engineered than 4H's.
We always blame Mattel for cheaping out on 4H's creations with DC and He Man figures, that it was their fault that those figures don't get better range or smart joints, but purely 4H creations are just as mediocre.
Well, that's untrue, given that 4H's Legion and Gothitropolis figures are well done (barring QC issues), but that's what makes the trolls so disappoint.

>>6420491
You're fucking dumb. We see lines get new heads and other tooling made without problems or price increases.
See 4H's own creations.
Again, this is what makes the trolls so disappointing. Everything else that makes 4H's toys so good is very lacking in these trolls. They're basically an afterthought and its a big cheapout.

>>6420572
See my complaints and comparison with the rancor. There's no good reason why 4H's is so damn lacking.
They missed a lot of neat gimmicks they could have inserted into it, even stuff like moving jaws. Just little extra things that could ahve given them some personality.

Blind 4H shill man is at it again...

It is just a repeat conversation between Hasbro Rancor man and 4H shill man, this is like the 5th round or something like that? Same repeat conversation, same arguments, same insult.

I agree the troll articulation sucked, I've sold both of my trolls at sizeable profit and will be skipping this Cheetos troll too. The problem with the troll doesn't come from cost cutting, but bad sculpt at the elbow. They already made the cut, and bothered to put big rachet joint in the elbow, but the sculpt is sadly too thick and impede the articulation. This is a 4H fuckup and nothing else, the joints are completely ineffective. If you like the trolls and like to pose these guys with neutral poses on your shelf as if they're taking family photo then good for you. But I like to have dynamic figures and these trolls are not for me
>>
>>6420658
>There's no good reason why 4H's is so damn lacking.

Sorry but you're wrong again. I saw this same defense from you months ago and it was ludicrous then and it still is now.

You are comparing a mass produced Star Wars item that likely was made in at least a few million units, probably more, from the #2 toy company in the world ....to an item that got a run somewhere in the thousands by a company run by less than 10 people. Sure they could have added more stuff to it but the cost would have been even worse than it was already. Adding extra articulation would have resulted in more pieces for the figure and increased everything from the tooling cost to the assembly cost. The figures were already too expensive as I already said. Hasbro could add all of that extra stuff to the Rancor cause the cost per item was a lot less than the 4H's just due to the difference in order size. Had the 4H done the trolls in the same numbers Hasbro did the Rancor, I'm sure we could have gotten more POA and other things and they'd be much cheaper. The 4H though aren't Hasbro.

I'm sorry. You're completely wrong here. You're comparing apples to oranges. Having read your posts, you obviously just don't understand. Let's just disagree and leave it at that.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but see >>6420705.

The cut on the elbow has already been made. We're not asking for extra joints, double jointed elbow or anything. The cut has already been made, the big rachet joint has already been paid for and built into the sculpt. The problem is that the sculpt is too thick and impede the range of motion.

Also I'm almost sure you don't have the Black series Rancor, you don't know what you're talking about. The Rancor had even less POA than the Trolls. He don't even have an elbow joint. However Hasbro put the swivel and hinges in smart places so that the Rancor can achieve at least some variety of poses. This is unlike the Troll, who had completely ineffective elbow joint, and ineffective double ball peg feet.

>You're completely wrong here. You're comparing apples to oranges. Having read your posts, you obviously just don't understand.
Says the guy who obviously doesn't own giant toys.

You're defending a toy that was poorly engineered, because you just don't know how poorly done it was.

As that other guy pointed out, 4H ALREADY paid for the parts that makes a toy so EXPENSIVE. Barbell joints in the ankles. Ball-hinges in the elbows. Ball-hinges in the shoulders. This is MORE than what Hasbro put into the Rancor. It cost MORE money to make, NOT cost-per-unit, than Hasbro's rancor.

Those joints are a WASTE of money, because of how poorly they've implemented them. It's piss poor engineering, as that guy has mentioned.

McFarlane figures get better range from their joints, despite oversculpting the fuck out of their figures, because McFarlane knows how to engineer their toys.

There's no fucking excuse for 4H's inability produce a better troll and now seeing them cheap out on their next giant figure, it's like they're just doing a cheap cash in and don't care.
Very disappointing.

Fuck, the only reason it's always me vs ignorantguyshill is because I'm apparently one of the few people who bought the trolls and as far as i can tell, one of the only 3 that took photos of it. So i stick out, despite other people usually backing up my criticism and having their own problems with them.

This coliseum wave is great and it fills most of my needs, with a selection of non-gaudy colored barbarian, orc, dwarf and a black knight, and I'm going to order these, but that still leaves me minotaur-less and I'm not sure I want to pay international shipping again just for an All Star Asterionn if he makes the cut again.

The bigger the toy, the bigger the head the more necessary it is to convey certain emotion rather than having a static neutral facial expression. The cyclops head would be the centerpiece of most of the shot, and I bet it wouldn't look half as good when he had the bored look on his face fighting skellies in any dynamic fight poses, except neutral "round start" pose

?Coming this Wednesday, July 19th 2017 @ 5:00pm EST on Store Horsemen the pre-order for Mythic Legions: Coliseum begins! The pre-order is planned to run until Friday, August 18th 2017 @ 5:00pm EST.
This wave will contain all eight of the recently revealed Mythic Legions: Coliseum characters - Adamonn ($35), Halmyr Goldentooth ($35), Keltuss ($35), Rahmulus ($35), Raygorr ($35), the Orc Legion Builder 3 ($28), the Black Knight Legion Builder ($22), and Brontus the Arena Troll ($100)!

>There will be specially priced multi-item sets available, and if you'd like to see all of the Mythic Legions: Coliseum prototypes in person, we'll have them all on dipslay at the Four Horsemen booth (#3345) at the San Diego Comic Con!

>Please be aware that this is a pre-order, and payment will be collected at the time the pre-order is placed, or very soon thereafter. Because we're currently in production on the Mythic Legion: Advent of Decay wave, we can't yet say for certain when the Mythic Legions: Coliseum wave will be arriving and shipping out to customers, but our hope is to have them in stock and shipping in winter of 2017/2018. But because of production timing, they might not be in stock and shipping until Spring/Summer 2018. Also, since there's new tooling going into Brontus, the Arena Troll, it's possible that he may have to ship at a later date, separate from the other figures in the wave. We'll update everyone on this as soon as we have more information.

I'm guessing Cyclops this time next year, and the new wave probably just before 2.0, creating a perfect shipping clusterfuck next Spring.

You never addressed the merit of his/my argument about the elbow sculpt has already been cut, and the ball joint on the elbow has already put in place. So we are complaining purely on sculpting ground to allow for range of motion, not adding more joints and adding more cost onto the figure. You misunderstood the crux of the argument because you had terrible reading comprehension and strawman the complain into a complain about adding more joints/hinges and when you got called out and BTFO put meme picture instead.

The 4H had a good history of putting sculpt ahead of articulation if you have any DCUC or MOTUC figure, they're all terribly cut and articulated like pic related, character being unable to put their iconic poses and elbow that can only bend barely below 90 degrees. This is why DCUC is such a laughing stock for Marvel Legends who are by themselves just mediocre 20 bucks Walmart figures but have amazing articulation by comparison to anything Mattel offers on the same Walmart shelves.

If you don't care for articulation, don't care for taking picture of your toys/playing with it and just shove it into cluttered detolf like most MOTUC/DCUC/Legends collector then good for you, you can enjoy the troll figure and you like having him being imposing with a neutral stance. However you cannot argue that the figure is well thought out well engineered one in terms of articulation because it is not.

We're sorry you can't enjoy your toys, you whiny little brat. Maybe you should just give up on life and let the rest of us actually like good things?

>>6421953
>However you cannot argue that the figure is well thought out well engineered one in terms of articulation because it is not.

Yes, you can. It's a well built, well done figure. Just because YOU refuse to to acknowledge that doesn't change that fact.
>>
>>6421958
It's a well sculpted figure for sure, I can acknowledge that objectively. But well engineered and well thought out in terms of giving it a decent range of motion? NAH

Let me ask you a specific question, what's your defense for the 4H of having the troll elbow only bending at less than 45 degrees despite having the balljoint, and sculpt already cut in place?

>>6421997
One could argue that the range is limited to allow the sculpt to show through better and be less noticeable, but McFarlane does the same shit while allowing for way more movement.
Also, forcing joints on McFarlane's stuff doesn't scratch the paint job like this.

I think it's sadder that they loaded it with a pleasant amount of articulation and finding out that the joints range of motion makes it less poseable than a McStatue.

All those joints wasted, just because they don't know how to engineer their toys.

>>6423400
>we all knew that 4HM not do the trolls well
Yeah the problem is that some people in the threads are blindly shilling and calling THE FIGURES ARE GREAT, THE ENGINEERING ARE GREAT! and strawmanning all legitimate complaints about the Troll sculpt being in the way of the range of motion despite the cut on the sculpt already being made and the joint being there. That is the only issue here.

Personally I'm disappointed in them, and will be skipping the Cheetos Cyclops because looking at the figure and the articulations built in I expected them to have bigger range of motion. Unlike the ninjas or the raptors, 4H never made a video showing the range of motion on the trolls or any new sculpt ever, and we have to guess based on the poses that they show us. I sold my forest troll at $40 markup (50 minus ebay fee), so my stone troll is practically a $60 figure, despite paint scratching and limited articulation it is a big and imposing figure and I'm quite happy with him due to his size and decent sculpt/paint. I just have problems with people blindly shilling and shouting down all dissenting opinions from people who obviously also own the figures themselves. The 4H forum is already full of blind shill who spend thousands of dollars and feeel like they had to justify their purchases. If we can't discuss the figures honestly on Siamese coffee roasting anonymous imageboard then I don't know where we can

There's no blind anything. If you have the figures, you'd realize they are great. They're stunning pieces of work, just because an arm doesn't bend as much as you want, doesn't mean there's a problem. YOU are the one with a problem here.

Ok, they're good, not stunning. They could benefit from a little better qc, articulation and paints, their joints are frequently fucked up and the paint scrapes off in a heartbeat.
They're decent enough but they're far from what I'd consider "stunning" or truly "great" figures.

The figure made in his honor is the worst one in the entire line both design and QC-wise but if you say anything bad about it he starts haunting you

Funny, given the fact that you haven't shown your own pictures of your own trolls.

I don't know about that guy you're responding to, but I've been posting my own photos, even showing how the articulation is so limited compared to other figures that have fewer joints.
Everything that guy says has lined up with what i said, so i don't doubt he owns these figures.
Whereas you, you're praising such lackluster figures, making me doubt you own any of these and are either 4H or a blind supporter.

>>6423630
>they dont even have knees, what was everyone expecting
See what Hasbro did.
No knees joints either, but the ankle joints and the pre-pose itself allows for the Rancor to look dynamic as fuck. The ankles themselves have a wide amount of motion, so he can stand up on uneven surfaces.
This is the expectation

The new 2.0 heads are NOT compatible with the 1.0 neck pegs. This has been confirmed. They even made it a point to explain that Gonxx, the heavily armored goblin on the 1.0 body, uses a new neck adapter piece with a peg that fits into older bodies but a ball joint scaled to the newer sized heads.

Getting barb, dwarf and orc.

I would like to get the black knight too, but apparently getting a fourth figure makes the shipping costs jump into the next tier, so I'll settle for those three and maybe look for a good time to get some other knight at the All Star rerelease or whenever.
>>
>>6430370
Not exactly groundbreaking or breathtaking, but I'd probably pick this guy up. Could always use more grunts for the horde. Though I'm curious if we'll see a white repaint of this figure because that head could easily double as a giant barbaric vampire.

The "giant" however is an easy pass. Just doesn't do anything special for me, he's just a bigger barbarian. They needed to do more with his head sculpt to make him unique. I also feel that using the Cyclops head on a troll body was a huge wasted opportunity as a cyclos on these ogre bodies would look so much better.

Still, I won't be excited until I see Arethyr.
>>
>>6430370
>>6429674
Big roided barbarian and big roided orc are kind of boring, but I'm excited about the bulky bodies.

Hopefully we'll get a true Ogre species, some animal heads (Hippos, Rhino, or even another Minotaur), some demonic red horned Satan like figures etc.

Yes, but from my experience they ship based on your order number.

I PO'd day 1 on last 1.75 wave and received my figures pretty early. Remember this is a company with steaming pile of garbage logistics knowledge. It might be a difference of 3 months between them shipping the first in stock preorder onto the last one.
