And remember, don't feed the Troll.

>>11498663 (OP)
Lots of Legions stuff should be hitting soon, I even just got my own AS6 figures in hand. Savage Crucible's stuff is also getting into more hands and I'm hoping to build my barbarian horde some more with their in-stock sale. But I'm most excited about finally getting the one and only Conan of Cimmeria! (who will actually be my third Conan, but who's counting)

Who do you got pre-order? Which Lines you most excited about? How many Conans are you gonna buy?

Here's my collection of mythological creatures! Not as fancy as you guys's, but I'm proud of it :)

>>11498771
>Mythical Creatures
>Rhino

It's a nice little collection, I like the blue lizard dude on the wall.

>>11498797
>Rhino
I'll allow it.
https://www.discovery.com/nature/Mythical-Animals-Turned-Out-to-Be-Real

>>11498797
Uh, that's a UNICORN, thank you very much! fr though, the unicorn was WAY to easy to collect. I always liked the hypothesis that the unicorn was just Europeans misunderstanding what a rhino was, so I figured I'd track down one of THOSE instead as a stand-in!

The lizard is supposed to be a salamander. It's a set from Frozen 2, (the ONLY disney set I own,) because I really liked how that legend was represented in that movie, (even IF the rest was mid.) However the set had no fire coming out of it, so I had to improvise a way to make it BREATH the flame that was included in the set to invoke salamander imagery. I got it to stick to the wall with a lego plate that does that for some reason. Unfortunately when I moved I couldn't put those two shelves together, so the salamander is no longer part of the display :(

>>11498804
THANK you my good sir!

I also have the Halloween collection...

AND a Christmas collection.

>>11498804
>>11498807
....that's amazing and I stand corrected and apologize for my misgivings.

>>11498814
Haha! No problem! People's reaction to it is actually one of my favorite parts of having the guy in my collection! XD

>>11498813
How'd you get that picture to look 39 years old

>>11498820
Poor lighting and a not-so-good camera.
I have a better picture, but I figured, eh, fuck it, gives of kind of an old-timey Christmas vibe...sorta...if you squint.

>>11498825
Sorry, I asked that question positively, I like that it looks older than my parents

>>11498828
>older than my parents
Are YOU old enough to be on this site?

>>11498831
36.

>>11498834
Alright, just checking, lol

>>11498819
It actually looks like a cool little rhino too, is he articulated at all?

>>11498825
It's amazing what you can do with a potato camera lol.

>>11498834
Lookit this youngin here.

Random pic

>>11498840
>Is he articulated at all?
A little bit. His head can move up and down and the legs can move back and forth a bit. Still not TOO many poses you can do while still keeping him upright.

>Random pic
Aah yes, the mythical onion knight! I too have heard legend of him guarding the vegetable patch! (And yes, I know he's from dark souls, but I keep forgetting his name and just calling him "Onion knight", lol)

>>11498637
What I'm saying is that before, we used to get a dozen figures in a span of a couple of months vs 1 today. You can point toward all the upcoming figures and think that's a lot in total, but it really isn't when compared to the past, when fantasy media was being heavily pushed.
And that's part of my initial complaint about there being any good fantasy lines anymore, because there's no push for fantasy toylines. Where's house of dragons? Wheel of time? Witcher? Rings of Power? Sandman? All of these would have been auto-picked up by toy stores pre-2016. That War of Rohan movie barely got a blip of a toyline and only as budgetshit, because stores don't want to carry shit anymore.

There was always weird shit like this coming out before. Something like this isn't medieval fantasy, but it fits right in. Lots of variety.

Nevermind those dozens of figures were easily found in thousands of stores, whether they were comic shops or walmarts.

Hello Subby

>>11498896
I really liked the snow troll from the War of the Roharim toys. Too bad you had to buy all 4 others to get it. I swear, I fucking HATE that model in collectable toy lines.
Either A.) I want the figure and have to spend like, 150$ to get it,
Or B.) I buy one of the figures I want, and am now stuck with a bull leg or a robot fist or some bullshit that doesn't even GO to anything! Like, the fuck do I do with it?

Post crusaders

>>11498663 (OP)
Where do I get those awesome demons!?

>>11498896
Everything you say is wrong. The amount of fantasy figures we get these days dwarfs even when toys were more prolific on shelves. You just don't like them because they're mostly original figure lines and not based on pre-existing media. Mythic Legions alone has put out more figures and figure variety then any mass media based fantasy franchise in the past 30 years.

>>11498904
I hate that gimmick so much, especially when it's included in a crappy toyline like the War of Roharim 5 PoA garbage. Even the Diamond Select LotR line did that with Sauron, which was also a pretty jank line. At least they dropped the gimmick for the second wave, but by that point the line was pretty much dead. The Orcs and Goblins were pretty good, but the rest of the figures really felt dated and poorly designed.

>>11498991
Biblical Adventures by d13 toys. They even have two packs in various colors, though I'm not sure if they're any cheaper then just buying two figures. Interesting concept, but not a perfect line. I kinda wanna get the Roman soldier to mix with my Roman Soldiers from other lines and have a weird mixed group of very different yet similar soldiers.

My shit finally shipped from 4H. Belts and heads and skellies oh my.

>>11499006
I'm legit more excited for the belts then the figures themselves. Such a simple thing but it can add so much character to a figure.

>>11498896
>All of these would have been auto-picked up by toy stores pre-2016.
Not necessarily. Apart from Lego, the Hobbit toys flopped so bad that Desolation of Smaug barely got 10 figures, and Battle of Five Armies didn't get shit, mainly because the movies didn't manage to capture the audience like LotR did.
Let's go through the franchises you mentioned.
>Where's house of dragons?
Last two seasons of GoT shitting the bed and all that pegwarming Funko shit left licensees unwilling to touch that potential bonfire.
>Wheel of time?
Unproven property whose tv show ended up like the series author. Also character designs aren't very toyetic.
>Witcher?
We got pegwarming McFarlane crap and another tv show that turned to garbage, but we are still getting an overpriced Figma with no alt faces if you want.
>Rings of Power?
Toy execs actually paid attention to the canary in the coalmine.
>Sandman?
Really a shame because it really does have interesting character designs, but the main audience spend all their money at Hot Topic trying to look like Lydia Deetz. Also since Gaiman is an analrapist, toy company execs are breathing a sigh of relief.
>There was always weird shit like this coming out before.
The biggest difference between Golden Compass and your list is that it was aimed at kids, and was more fantasy adventure than fantasy drama or dark fantasy like everything you mentioned.
You know what is selling in thousands of stores as we speak? How to Train Your Dragon. A fantasy adventure with interesting designs that translate well to toys.
Also, all that Golden Compass, Narnia and Hobbit shit going to clearance probably made the big companies weary of backing anything risky in the genre.

>>11499019
>Also, all that Golden Compass, Narnia and Hobbit shit going to clearance probably made the big companies weary of backing anything risky in the genre.
Entirely missing my point, because despite all this stuff going on clearance, stores were still ordering line after line after line, hence getting a dozen figures every new movie/tv season.
Narnia shit didn't do well and Prince Caspian bombing at stores didn't stop them from ordering Golden Compass toys. Golden Compass toys bombing didn't stop them from ordering The Hobbit toys.
There was a multitude of toylines being produced back then, just because they had a media tie in. So even shit like Heroes, Gotham, Castlevania, got toylines, just because they were on TV.

Today, they're avoiding nearly everything and ignoring how even more popular video games have become. You're right, they're not taking chances anymore, and that's still entirely my point, hence not finding as many good fantasy lines anymore.

>>11498997
>You just don't like them because they're mostly original figure lines and not based on pre-existing media.
They're just so generic, which is a big problem i have. They don't actually want to be "original" but instead trying to do ripoff designs like Heman shit, which 4H is super guilty of, and avoid. Ironically, the overused 50 year old IPs look more original than original lines.
Also, i avoid third party/chinese lines, because practically everyone has brittle problems with them. The old 1/12/Clothes General proved that and people in these threads constantly post their figures breaking too. A mainstream toy company would do better, but retailers aren't buying up any toy tie-in anymore, so mainstream companies aren't making them anymore.

>>11498997
it's a gimmick, but it solved a problem that we used to have: stores weren't ordering large figures. So we finally were able to get oversized figures that previously weren't abe to be made.

>>11498771
neat, I always had a soft spot for that old vikings jörmungandr

>>11499046
>They're just so generic, which is a big problem i have.
>jeez I don't like how you have to build Legos is so generic and lame why can't all Lego be licensed series like star wars, Nintendo or superheroes???

>>11499165
huge difference between building blocks and action figures, especially when said action figures usually try to imitate a popular series and just change enough shit not to infringe on any copyrights, making for a lamer design.

>>11497625
>And I'm sure you'll be fine with that Mezco figure
I am cursed, I just received him and his left leg is broken. That's the second figure I have received that has been fucked out of the box, I think the universe is telling me action figures aren't for me. Oh well.

>>11498905
He looks like he defends Holy Grails.

>>11498905
I just got word that my singles from All Star 6 are on the way. That's another 3 Sir Enoch's. I should buy a couple of more Elijah's for the skellie head.

So, it looks like D13, of Biblical Adventures fame, is going to make Nippon Adventures in the same format.

>>11498670
I really want the Savage Crucible barbarians, but this "extremely limited stock" worries me. What's the best way make sure I get them? Should I just refresh the page every 5 minutes all day on the 1st? Should I try to order at the stroke of midnight?

>>11499269
That sucks Anon, did you get him from a reputable shop? Most places will return/replace figures, or you might even be able to get replacement parts from Mezco themselves if they're anything like most indy companies are. I know I've gotten replacement parts from both Savage Crucible and Plunderlings for missing/broken parts, and the 4H always replace pieces for figures if something breaks or is messed up.

>>11499284
That's a lot of Enochs, guess you'll have options of how to display him. I just got mine but haven't opened him yet, but I didn't realize just how ornate his armor is. I feel like the soft goods are covering up just how impressive of a figure he really is.

>>11499706
That sounds real neat actually, it's absurd how rare generic ninja and samurai are in toy form. Outside of a few random chinese offerings and that one Fwoosh line, you don't see many actual Samurai figure.

Though the ghosts and yokai will probably be the most impressive, if those demon's of his are anything to go by.

>>11499745
I honestly don't know, I never did a SC in stock sale. But if they handle their barbarians in the same way they did their lizard men, I'm sure they'll drop new ones randomly throughout the year. It would be nice to see those add on kits used in a full figure so I don't need to spend money a figure I don't want just to use the gear I like.

>>11500107
>did you get him from a reputable shop?
No, it was some small place, so it seems I double fucked up. Their delivery speed/packing was all great, but now their website contact form is dead, they aren't replying to emails and the contact number went straight to answer machine. Just take me out behind the shed and get it over with already universe.

My Conan just shipped though, I'm sure he'll arrive with no head and broken elbows.

"Ork Hogan"

A project I did around years ago. I added new accessories after that, and was building this into a "Harrowood Ork Hogan" character, but things in my life got in the way and I didnt feel like posting any work I did.

Now I'm posting it as a tribute to the person who is this custom is based on. RIP, Mr. Terry you're far from perfect but your character inspired (at least me) to make something. I should make more things.

>>11501221
Fuck. This is how I find out.
RIP Hulkster.

And awesome custom, brother.

>>11501221
Awesome work there. R.I.P., Hulkster.
Mezco showed off pit fighter Conan.

>>11500671
>>11500107
Not that you care, but it might be looking up and possibly getting sorted.
>>11501296
ANON! What is best in life?

>>11501313
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women, of course.

>>11499163
Oh yeah! That's gotta be my favorite lego creature of all time! Glad someone noticed!

Just seen these, Black Stone Action Figure apparently, seem quite cool. Another Conan to add to the crazy pile that we've been getting.

>>11501779
Single jointed elbows again I see, I'm sure that'll tilt some anons. Looks like another nice Conan though anyway

>>11501782
is this sculpted by the same guys who did the frazetta girls ones? Because the body looks extremely similar

>>11501788
I'm not sure sorry, but I wouldn't be surprised.

>>11501296
Neat, but I always found this look to be kind of dorky.

>>11501313
Honestly, I hope everything works out for ya, hate to see a fellow /toy/bro getting burned with bad figures.

>>11501776
>>11501777
>>11501778
>>11501779
I don't know this company, but I certainly want to add another Conan to my collection now. I feel like I'm single handedly repopulating Cimmeria one Conan at a time.

>>11501782
I say this all the time, but when sculpted properly, single jointed elbows are way better then double jointed ones. It looks more natural and, when done right can provide more then enough range of motion.

>>11501788
I doubt it, the FG guy seemed singularly focused on his work on that Conan they're putting out. I think it's more a case of all the source material being so similar.

Also, is this the first instance of a Conan figure packing heat? There seems to be some sort of exclusive version that's just loaded with accessories from other REH characters, and most of em work fine but that pistol stands out a little.

I mean, I'd display him with gat in hand, but it's not exactly something I'd expect to see being wielded by a barbarian.

>>11501913
>Neat, but I always found this look to be kind of dorky.
I would be highly surprised if he didn't come with alternate weapons and heads/hair pieces to recreate one or two of his other looks in that scene. We'll see, though.

>>11498663 (OP)
Am I shit out of luck if I'm trying to get any of the Mezco Conan figs at anything close to MSRP?
From what I hear the wait lists never actually get restocked.

>>11501776
>>11502641

nvm this is the perfect Conan fig imo (head sculpt wise at least)

>>11501913
>Honestly, I hope everything works out for ya
Thanks Anon, the guy had one more in stock and I asked him to check it first before sending it this time to make sure it was good and it had the exact same issue, you can't make this shit up. I just posted it now to get a refund, I feel like I just gave away a child. I just know Conan is going to turn up broken in half an melted.

>>11501788
It seems like you were correct and he was involved. It also has toe articulation and butterfly joints. I still personally prefer the aesthetic of the FG one, though it does sting a bit that this one can two hand a weapon properly.

>>11503365
I should have added the fact they'll likely do Bêlit, Valeria, maybe Shevatas, hopefully some foes like Khosatral Khel etc. is probably the thing that is most exciting to me. It seems like they will be doing comic/art inspired ones, so there is a slim chance of my dream for a Brom or Adrian Smith inspired Bêlit. That's what I am telling myself anyway, but I seem to have negative luck with action figures.

Why does 4 Horsemen not utilize face printing tech?

>>11503365
And finally confirmation then, sorry for accidentally taking up three posts because I am stupid.

We also look like we'll be getting a Frazetta Girls Tarzan announced later today in a few hours, could be really cool if that's the case.

>>11503377
Because that isn't the style they're going for

>>11503377
Lemonade stand family business, pls understand

>>11503365
>>11503370
Color me incorrect then, it's cool that there seems to be so much Conan based stuff coming out though. I always loved that style and aesthetic and it's something toy companies have ignored forever. Let the golden age of fantasy figures keep on going!

Appreciate all the info on this new figure, I personally would've never had known about it otherwise.

>>11503393
I was curious where they'd go after dropping one of their biggest names in figure form, but I guess Tarzan is just as big a name to continue the line with.

>>11503377
Because they don't need it.

>>11503377
not all factories can do it, they may use one that doesn't have the option

>>11502641
Mezco doesn't do a lot of issues anyways but there's doubly no incentive when they're still putting Conan figures out. King Conan was out a little less than a year ago and (their first) Arnold Conan is later this year assuming no delays.
King Conan was still out there for awhile at a decent price, you're looking at $200+ for the other versions though.
>>11503381

my scale autism... I wish they'd give the height in mm.

Rankin and Bass Hobbit.

>>11503555
Oh shit, a big need.

>>11503490
I think he's also connected to Xesray in some way as well, I almost feel like I am shilling at this point the amount I keep bringing up his projects.
>pic
A pretty figure.

>I wish they'd give the height in mm.
Same, it's really annoying having to guess or find videos of other figures a company has made in order to see if the scale fits, I don't know why they don't just put the measured heights up first and foremost.

>>11503555
Rankin Bass Gollum was always kind of hot

So the >>11503393 announcement seems to have ended up being a John Carter figure, not the Tarzan I was predicting!

>>11503627
What the fuck is wrong with you

>>11503555
I'm definitely in for a rankin bass orc.

>>11504287
I'd buy pic related in a heartbeat

>>11504129
Need, I have the old figs somewhere

Finally got Sir Elijah, is the shorter neck peg included supposed to be for when the helmet is on?

>>11504550
i remember having these as a kid and being so confused when finally watching tarzan and realizing he doesn't actually fight giant ants...

>>11503377
Probably because they found a factory filled with Chinese slaves that know how to paint faces properly.
Hasbro had to find a workaround since none of their child slaves live long enough to get good at face painting.

>think it's time to cut back on all the skeletons
>get my last order in finally with more skellies and the head pack
>start fucking with the Raider and head pack
>realize I need five more of these now

>>11504129
Fuck yes, but disappointed Woola is a statue.

>>11504742
Yeah always annoying when they don't go the extra step to fully articulate the animals/side beasts. I am thinking of going for that upcoming G.I. Joe Cobra guy with the scorpion because it be great with the fantasy gang.

Does slime counts as fantasy general? I'm more interested in anime style fantasy, I collect bunch of medieval looking anime characters from lines like Figma Fate, Sword Art, and FOTM isekai without really knowing the source material just to mix/match them as OC characters.

I'm looking for a staple in anime fantasy which are the lvl. 1 slimes - but these are surprisingly hard to find. Any recommendations? Lots of people have 3d printed them, so I'm thinking of dipping my toes in 3d print these basic slime features, but I'm a bit confused why these are mostly PLA prints instead of resin prints

>>11505385
All fantasy figures are welcomed here, whether they be western or eastern based characters. Swords, sorcery, warlocks and warriors are all allowed to share their tales in this thread.

As for slimes, maybe check out Dragon Quest stuff, I doubt there's any actual toyline featuring em, but I'm sure there's some sort of Gashapon or claw machine line of slime toys out there. Otherwise, that's something that'd probably more common as an accessory to various figures then a stand alone item itself.

>>11504920
20 points of articulation on that apparently

>>11505538
>>11505385
There's 3 new Moderoid kits of Dragon Quest slimes.

Cosmic Legions was the dumbest decision 4H ever made

>>11505538
Cool Yshtola, who made her? I didn't realise someone had done FF14 figures.

>>11505591
Didn't even know that, might have to check em out myself. Always good to have some starter mobs for a party to cut their teeth on.

>>11505871
She's a SE Bring Arts, they did the dragoon guy from XIV as well iirc. She's a decent figure, but very much an early Bring Arts, so she has her issues. But at the time she was the closest thing released to a FFXI Mithra so I needed to get her....also she was a super useful unit in WoTV when I started.

I did actually play XIV too...but I just do not gel with that game.

I did get the XI Chocobo with Shantotto...which Agrias swiftly commandeered

>>11505889
I've never really been a fan of FF, but I do like the big chickens, did you get that blue bird thing someone made fairly recently?

Just seen these posted so thought I'd share. I know nothing about John Carter aside from some of the paintings, though this looks like a pretty cool set.

>>11505653
Wrong

Need more skeletons, need more space suits.

>>11505944
Close enough?

And another one, prototype apparently.

>>11507438
To add this is apparently going up for pre-order late August and is coming before John Carter supposedly.

Some of the ML stuff, I saw some close up photos somewhere I'll try and find them.

The RPG of theirs, that Anon in the other thread who talked about minis was correct, they showed some.

>>11503555
Holy chungus, it's the guy from smiling friends!

It might look like nothing compared to other fantasy werewolf figures, but I think it fills a gap in the market . Other than the coomodel and the corvus belli ones, I don't think other werewolf figures in semi-realistic art style are close to 6 inches.

I don't know why they gave it no butterfly joints, though. Since they are asking for 40$ for this, they could have given it something that even their 25$ MLs and G.I Joes already have.

>>11507532
He looks like he jobs to He-Man.

>>11507394
It's based specifically on these frazetta paintings, specifically the bottom left, but with swap out parts to make him into the version in the top and also the bottom right.

>>11504129
damn. are we finally going to get a Dejah Thoris figure then?

>>11507532
If anybody has to Kit Bash or customize the same quiver and bow and arrow are also available in classic Yondu and Hawkeye, but that one was a deluxe with the sky cycle.

>>11508280
Looks likely.

>>11505911
The Horseclaw from Nausicaa? As cool as it is, and as much as I respect Nausicaa as a franchise, I don't have enough personal nostalgia for it to pay the prices they were asking. All the figures Kaiyodo put out for it were really cool, but they are just far too pricey for something I only had a passing interest in.

In contrast, I put near ten years into playing FFXI, and that one *never* got any good merch, so it was a no brainer for me to grab the Chocobo from it in hopes more figures from that game would get made. Sadly it, and my next favorite FF game, VI, just seem to get no love from SE proper. At least I got Agrias and Ramza from FFT.

>>11505944
This would be cooler if the pet wasn't a giant static hunk of plastic. It's the same thing that pushed me away from Teegra, at these prices, I'd much rather have less accessories and an articulated companion, or lower price without the companion.

>>11507366
I keep saying Cosmic would've been more interesting if it was just Orcs and Knights in space. Though the Oxkrewe stuff is certainly an improvement over the initial few waves.

>>11507438
See, now a giant throne is a far better solid hunk accessory to include over an unarticulated pet. Though the FG hip assembly doesn't really suit sitting all that well.

>>11507500
>>11507502
Sweet, must've been impressive to see all this in person. Were you able to tell if any of the minis looked like new figures, or were they all based on pre-existing characters? As an RPG, I can only imagine they're gonna want to buff up their catalogue of classic wizards and rogues, as the line is very much lacking in those classes.

>>11507532
Neat, I might have to grab him...despite how garish and absurd his outfit is. It's like it can't decide whether it's a space suit or fantasy outfit.

>>11508280
Only if she has a cast-off-able top. She's half naked in much of her artwork and it'd be wrong to not give her that same option in figure form.

>>11508488
>Only if she has a cast-off-able top. She's half naked in much of her artwork and it'd be wrong to not give her that same option in figure form.
The artwork its based off has her with golden nipple bikini so just a sluttier version of slave leia as you can see here >>11507545

>>11508488
Sorry that was a terribly worde post, I didn't go to SDCC, those weren't my photos, I meant I saw someone upload some close ups of each model, but I couldn't find where. Closer look at some of the minis, do you recognise them? I'll see if I can find some other pictures.

The John Carter alien looks like it might have some super basic leg joints and maybe the neck? I completely agree though, if you're not going to do it properly, just put in more accessories instead.

>>11508805
Oh, my bad lol. Still, I'm sure they had a nice display set up, from what I saw their booth was pretty big and they had that giant Ogre statue there to really bring in the attention.

Of that pic, I just see the two forms of the SDCC/Kickstarter figure they're dropping and what looks like a v2 Artemis with a giant short sword and exaggerated antlers. Haven't seen close ups of all the other figures though, but if there were something new I'd imagine someone would've pointed it out by now.

>>11507502
>>11508805
this is fun and as someone who recently got into mini painting I'm pretty much guaranteed to pick these up, but I don't see this lasting long. Generic fantasy action figures was a surprisingly untapped market, whereas generic fantasy minis is pretty much overserved right now.

FancyRealm's Goatman (The Investiture of the Gods Yang Xian) has been shipped out from gundamit.

When's the dragon releasing again?

>>11508488
>I keep saying Cosmic would've been more interesting if it was just Orcs and Knights in space.
I get the sentiment, fantasy races in space are cool, but I've really been enjoying the random selection of aliens we're getting since not many lines offer that.

>>11511061
Next year if the production process goes smoothly.

>>11511116
Maybe it's because the initial waves were kind of same-y for most figures, or maybe it's because it's not as hard to come across sci-fi looking figures in this size, but Cosmic just hasn't hit as hard as Mythic for me. I mean, I still do have about a dozen of em, so it still did hit, but my Cosmic collection is nothing compared to my Mythic, Hell, I bought some Cosmic characters just to pop and swap them into my Mythic lineup.

I also kind of feel space figures need ships and vehicles more then fantasy figures need mounts and large monsters. While we've actually gotten the latter in mythic, I highly down we'll even see that for Cosmic. It kinda sucks to build a space pirate crew but not have a ship for them to pirate things from.

>>11511190
I don't know if I'd say they need it *more* but they definitely need it just as much which is a lot. This is ultimately why the larger scale is a failure to me- yeah it's cool to have a $800 fuck huge dragon and massive armies but it's just not practical. I could afford it if I wanted to buy who has the space for that that isn't just crammed into a crowded shitty looking collection room?

Anyway my size gripes aside I think that world building is important in any line, and cosmic would greatly benefit by larger items to build out the world. Give me some cyberpunk convenience store counter with some goods and a robo clerk to run it. Give me some cool hoverbikes. That large trailer vehicle they showed off at legions con looked *okay* but felt overly large with not really enough going on to justify it's existence. It was like a space dune buggy and had a cool skull strapped to the front, but then there's two other fuck huge flatbed trailers on the back just cutting around gas cans. Kind of boring for something that would have to be $500. I'd rather see a snubnose space fighter but I guess you can't stand 10 figures on it so it's not as appealing to them.

Anyone got experience with Boss Fight 1/12th scale figs? I just discovered this lady and their 60s scifi ones last night and I'm interested, are they any good? I don't like the plastic cape, ireally hate that shit, but I love evil women.

>>11511433
I only got their skeletons and their Red Sonia and they're a lot of fun. Very solid figures with good articulation, solid construction and plenty of accessories. I have that chick on p/o as well for pretty much the same reason. She looks like she'd be a really good adversary for Sonia.

>>11513823
That's certainly a lot of stipulations on the sale, but it's nice to see them trying. I honestly don't even know if I really want much from this wave, but I could easily see myself caving for one of the accessory sets if given the chance.

But having finally put in my pre-order for the current 4H wave, it's probably best to sit this one out as that order pretty much ate my budget for the month.

Only two more days for that sale if people have forgotten, and future releases of these figures will be at an increased price.

>>11514017
I'm sitting here, F5-ing like a madman. I really want those barbarians. The FOMO has worked on me, and I'm even considering the furry figure...

>>11513823
Is it all gone?

>>11514025
In hindsight, having such a wide range for the sale to *potentially* start just encourages people to constantly spam refresh the page. I'd imagine doing that would cause more stress on the servers then just letting people know when the damn thing actually starts.

I get the idea, and appreciate the attempt, but I feel the way the 4H do these sales, where it's split into two or more scheduled drops, works way better overall.

That said, the wolfman is probably one of my favorite figures from the line, despite most of his gear being super fiddly and annoying. Like his scabbard is too big for his sword, his crossbow's handle stretches his hand while his knife is too small to fit in said stretched hands, the bolts on his chest get in the way of things while his pauldrons have such super long pegs they kinda flop around in his back and I'm super afraid of then snapping. And yet, despite all these issues, just the idea of a leather and chainmail clad one eyed wolfman rogue is awesome enough for him to be one of my favorite figures in general.

It's such a cool, unique and interesting concept, and I wish more figures from the wave were like him.

>>11514101
Nah, it hasn't started yet. Sometime in the next 70 minutes.

Sale started guys good luck

>>11514119
Although for me I just get "can't ship to that address" everytime I go to checkout. Do they not ship to the UK?

>>11514119
....I don't remember the prices being that high before, but I still splurged on an Armor pack and then grabbed one of the barbarians just to make it worth the shipping price.

>>11514119
YES! I got the figs I wanted. I also had trouble with the "can't ship to that address" in MN, USA. But I left the items in the cart for a few minutes, tried again, and it worked.

>>11514139
Yeah ended up working for me, but the $30 shipping to UK is a bit too much as I was only thinking of getting one. Glad you got them anon.

Did any of you order Conan from Frazetta Girls themselves and if so, has it shipped for you yet? My tracking code has been sitting on "UPS hasn't received the package yet" for 9 days now.

>>11514186
I did and mine is supposedly gonna show up monday. Will update if it happens.

>>11514709
Was there a delay (days) between when you got the tracking code and when it shipped?

>>11514746
Yea, it was a few days, probably more time was spent waiting on the item to arrive at the shipping facility then it was waiting for the item to actually be moved in transit.

PO'd the female knight, arctic fox, gnome, blue orc, and the tavern set. With taxes and shipping ends up being $230 for ~4 1/2 figures. Feels like I'm going to severely scale down after this, kind of not worth it.

Nobody here huh? It's the last day of Snow DLC... Did you guys get anything?

>>11516370
I ended up getting everything but the Gnome and the Polar bear, though I did also share my order with my nephew. We're both getting the Wolf, but he also wants the frost Orc. Meanwhile, in addition to my wolf, I'm getting the viking, knight, fox and accessory set.

I'm already getting the Rising Son version of the bear, so I don't really need two of em, and the only part I really like about the Gnome was his accessories...which come in their own set so I just got that. The frost goblin head is a neat addition though, and if I had any other of the frost characters I might have been more tempted. But as is, I'd rather just focus on green goblins, of which I already have enough of.

>>11516377
>but he also wants the frost Orc
Based nephew, nobody seems to care about it, but I think he's one of the coolest things from the wave.

>>11514186
I got my FG LE Conan from one of Bombusbee's action figure website, shipped and received over a month ago. Great fig, I love it. Can't front-2H a sword but can still do a decent overhead 2H.

>>11516534
Yeah I am just fucking cursed when it comes to action figures, tempted to just give up and cancel my remaining preorders for stuff, call it quits. It almost always goes wrong every time I buy any, it's like my being a loser permeates all aspects of my existence even things I don't control.

>>11514186
Mine is supposed to get delivered today.

>>11514709
>>11516930
Just got my Conan from FG proper today, box had a neat little sticker and a cool post card with previous releases. Didn't get those with the Norseman so it was a bit of a surprise. Haven't opened him yet, busy week leaves very little time for fun but will hopefully get pics by the end of the week.

>>11516525
Yea, he's just starting his collection. Only has a knight legion builder and a Shadow Orc in hand, but he has some figures from the Reign wave pre-ordered and plans to buy more when we hit up NYCC in october.

Also, new figures hit the 4H shop, mostly Poxxus stuff for Mythic and the Outpost: Zaxxius stuff for Cosmic. Most notably though is the Retail Appreciation figures, the asian elf, red Tu5cc pilot and Blue Hagnon, up for sale at $37 a pop, way below the $50 most retail places are asking. Ended up getting me the Elf, a spare Gawrychh to do some part swaps with, and a green armory knight that I've been eyeing for ages.

The two poxxus wizards on sale are both good figures, but they're especially nice since you can steal their limbs for other figures, swap in random color parts that don't fit with other characters and bury those random pieces under their robes.

Also the evil wizard just looks metal.

Wow, I just received the bonus for Fury Toys Wukong, which was made late and sent separately, and it's awesome.
I had heard it would be an articulated little monkey, but I thought it would be a 5poa simple thing, and it's a legit fully featured figure.

>>11517767
I don't get this bonus. I got my monkey a while back but for the bonus monkey I'd have waited...

>>11517776
Such is life, not everyone is worthy of a bonus monkey.

>>11517767
I like your shelf space anon, always looks light and comfy.

>>11503555
Holy shit, that's not something I expected to see. I haven't watched the animated Hobbit or LOTR movies myself (yet) but I am very fond of the songs from The Hobbit. Also if they ever did figures of the Nazgul from the Bakshi movies I'd be down for that.

>>11517847
I'd buy those Nazgul in a heartbeat!
Also that pic made me realize we haven't gotten any action figure of Lord Soth yet, which is a shame. He's such a cool design.

>>11517817
Thanks, it is at the cost of everything else being a mess.

>>11501913
>I mean, I'd display him with gat in hand, but it's not exactly something I'd expect to see being wielded by a barbarian.

It's a callback to the cover of What If where he was trapped in modern times. Pretty cool story where he forms a street gang and kicks all kinds of ass.

Until he meets a costumed clown who calls himself Captain America!

>>11518487
Well the website specifically lists it as Conrad's Pistol, which is referencing John Conrad from R.E. Howard's The Children of the Night. Considering all the weapons in that deluxe set are based off of other REH characters, I'm going to assume that's the primary reason it's included.

Still neat to know about that what if though, even if it's not the only time Conan shows up in the modern times Marvel Universe. IIRC he was even part of an actual Avengers sub-team at one point and paled around with the Punisher for a while.

>>11509988
Nice figure.
Paint is likely the weakest part. It's not entirely matte compared to other painted fantasy lines, airbrushes may be a bit soft, and you can see unpainted thighs peeking at the end of his shorts.

>>11520616
Light-up effect is weird, though it's not something I'd care about.

>>11517767
Looks like they're releasing that little shit in different colors and accessories.
https://www.chaihezi.com/node/358819

>>11520846
Yea, that makes more sense. It's crazy to even offer a full figure like that as a free bonus, but if it's more of a free preview of a future figure it's a good way to advertise. I'm not exactly a big fan of the whole monkey king lore, but depending on price and accessories, I could see myself grabbing one of these little guys.

In other news, anyone at all interested in the Legions Test Shot sale coming up this weekend? I'll be sitting it out myself, but it's interesting in that they'll actually be including color matches soft goods with the releases, so if you want some grey wizard robes and parts, that's gonna be a thing. Mind you, the figures are super limited in number (like 10 per character), more expensive then normal figures and supposed to be collector's items, so using em in mods isn't the best idea. But once you buy em they're yours so....who's gonna stop you?

Anoooooooons I'm so close to breaking my own imposed sanctions again. I really should just wait for my other preorders over the next months instead of buying more, but this character really calls to me. I'm such a failure.

>>11520936
I've had her pre-ordered for like a year, if not more, and this is the first time I noticed she actually has a name.

Also, if it helps, it's a Boss Fight figure, so it's very unlikely to sell out any time soon. I'd wait a bit before you grab her.

>>11521114
I live in England so American figures are always much more limited here. I am basically sold on her, that review confirmed it, my only real gripe is the plastic cape, it's just that those stupid sexy Xesray girls ate up my budget, I feel like I am being reckless if I pick up anything that isn't on my most wanted list. I'm fully greased, banana peels on each foot and half way down the slope at this point, it's over.

Nice, more BFS 1/12 Court of the Dead figures: Demithyle and Shard

>>11520936
Tastes are funny. I'm getting the other three, but not Kier. For me, she does too many different tryhard things: skin color, bloody limbs, mouth spill thing, barefoot, white eyes, skull. But if she clicks with you I guess she's pretty awesome.

My Conan survived the trip from Florida unscathed. I am really happy with him, he feels really solid and I think the faces came out so much better than they initially looked in promos. The curved sword is a bit annoying to unsheathe/sheathe I have to warm up the scabbard and his right shoulder joint is very tight, I am still heating and working it in, but aside from those tiny quibbles I am content. I'll put off lying on a train track a bit longer.

>>11521825
Yeah fair enough. She really looks like a Brom (one of fav artists) painting come to life, thr colours and the skull mask etc, guess it just does it for me. I have never heard of this series, are they from comics or something? Looks pretty cool, I saw some of the 1/18 scale and statues and I'd be interested in some more 1/12 versions. Those two you linked look promising.

>>11521858
I think Sideshow created it as a merchandise franchise with no media so far.

>>11521825
oh, this dude I like a lot! Did they do the undead paladin one in 1/12 already?

>>11521858
I think they started out as a statue (and maybe bust?) series and then BFS got the action figure licence.

>>11521909
Pretty much, they've fleshed it out a bit, anyway.
https://court.sideshow.com/

>>11522025
Ah thanks for the link, I see they have more promo shots of them.

>>11522072
This is probably much taller than 6" if the 1/18 figure is of indication, which is a head taller than normal dudes.
I presume that they just slap the 6" tag to every figure in the line.

>>11521142
Was that a robo review? I don't really keep up with toytubers but I generally recognize the blue background....I think.

>>11521825
Funny enough, I like her *because* of all the try hard edginess. You don't normally see that in action figures, let alone getting a demon/evil lady like her to begin with, so she'll be unique in my collection. She'll be a good foil to Sonia and a good henchwoman to that McFarlane Lilith when she comes out.

The three armed skeleton dude is also pretty cool, and I'll probably get him just for that awesome flamberge. Meanwhile, the chick in all black just seems....boring. Like nothing about her really stands out and I don't have much interest in grabbing her. Also, seems to have no weapon stowage, and that's always a big no-no for me when a character has multiple weapons. She's not a bad looking figure mind you, she just doesn't jump out as a must have for me.

.........though knowing me I'll probably break and grab her at some point anyway because she'd still work well in this weird Neo-Hyborian Age toy-verse I've apparently started building. Not even including Legions in the mix, we've been flooded with old school fantasy icons, period piece ancient warriors and all sorts of other sword and sandal styled characters and figures. Between Bossfight, Savage Crucible, Xesray, AWOK, Frazetta Girls, random chinese companies, and whatever other left field releases are coming down the line, I'm finding myself knee deep (literally, the boxes are piling up) in fantasy figures. Not exactly a bad problem to have, but certainly one I never expected to deal with outside of Legions figures.

>>11522207
>Was that a robo review?
Yeah sorry I probably should have named the image, he got copies of Death and Kier early if you want to check it out. I think she looks great, thought they are quite expensive and I have no reference for Boss Fight quality, only thing making me hesitant. That and I have overspent already and want to put my head in an oven.

>>11521828
I'm having second and third thoughts on this one. She's cute and I like most of her design, but I'm not a fan of the fully armored, helmetless, gloveless concept, and she's really not that incredibly unique to warrant the trouble of getting matching gloves and helmet for her. On the other hand I guess I could reason that she's a spellsword who needs to have her hands and head bare.

I managed to get a few of the test shots I wanted yesterday but I got a feeling after seeing all that stuff still available later that we’re being scammed. Other test shots I have been in weird colors, sometimes multiple colors depending on parts of the tools. The Classics ones I have are in weird colors which you could almost tell when they were made based on the plastic matching existing figures. The Hasbro ones I have usually have marker writing with numbers. This feels like these are shameless cash grabs where they run the molds in gray and sell them as test shots and people eat it up and sell them for crazy money afterwards.

>>11524309
What are you talking about anon? What's a test shot? I am uninformed.

>>11524319
Four Horsemen had their first test shot sale of two yesterday. Basically they are supposed to as it sounds, the first run of a figure in a mold to test it out to see if adjustments need to be made. They’re made cheaply and typically use left over plastic or whatever is in the machine. Using the one color helps see issues with joints and clearances. Here’s a pic of a Chief Carnivus I had got from a He-Man.org member but I’ve since sold it. The back of his cape had marker writing on there with the item number. Typically depending on team and line size they might make 4-7 maybe 10.

These feel like they manufactured to just sell to the fanbase. When they sold them originally they might have been really test shots. They claimed they had them piling up from production and new stuff coming in. You mean to tell me all the guys that work there didn’t want to take them home? These feel like hey let’s make some money. Run 25 or more of each mold in plain gray and we’ll charge double the price for them. They’ll sell them later on for $500-$800. The newer ones they have actually come in normal packaging. I know they can run whatever they want. One of the Glyos makers made a fan club and the selling point to join was you get a test shot of a new figure. I asked the guy if it was limited to just maybe the first few who sign up but he said no, every member will get one. He just needs them to run 42 extras when they do the test shot to cover the paid members. It turned out to be a MUSCLE Things flesh color Zeroid that was due to some of the makers using that color for a run of figures.

If maybe the 3 Neckbeards called this a test shot color run maybe it would be alright but they’re saying they are really test shots and having them not sell out instantly feels disingenuous.

>>11524371
Ahhh OK, thanks for the detailed explanation, that's something completely new to me. I can see how something like that can be taken advantage of, cheeky of them if true, surely the whole value of it, is in its authenticity as a development step, right? Very lame how companies just can't help themselves.

>>11524309
>>11524371
I mean...they've been very upfront that these are specifically run in solid grey to look better in a collection, but they very much are test shots. Heck, they even specifically mentioned they had the factory provide color matched soft goods for these figures, even though that's not something normally done for test shots, because the wizards wouldn't look right without the robes. IIRC, the actual solid grey color used was originall an accident, but it looked so good and was such a popular idea, that they just released similar versions of all the figures they've made in that test shot grey.

They've been doing em since the very first wave of figures and the test shots, of which only ten per character were made, were the first actual samples people got in hand of this line. I've been posting these guys since 2015, as that's when the first test shotswere shipped out (they were $45 at the time, but came with two day shipping from china to arrive before X-mas that year). The final production figures didn't ship out until summer 2016 as they just started full production that same december the test shots shipped out.

Yes, these guys are made to be sold, but they're still the first runs of the figure from the finalized molds once all the imperfections have been addressed.

Ditched work and did toys instead
