Mythic Legions Overview Part 1

[@Awakendabeast13]

Great video i am real new to collecting figures and this line caught my eye simply gorgeous figures love it. Thanks for the history lesson much appreciated!!!! will definitely pickup some of these figures

[@datamag2018]

You're very welcome! Like I've told people, I made this video series when I really got into Legions and I was just making something that I wish I had available to me when I first got into them. In case you missed it, 4Horsemen has a "in stock" sale going on right now where you can purchase items at the preorder prices, rather then the secondary retailer markup. Here's the link: store-horsemen.myshopify.com/ If you have nay questions about Mythic Legions (or any action figure line) feel free to hit me up in comments or whatever and I'll answer what I can. Welcome to the hobby!

@@datamag2018 I appreciate the heads up I barely just stumbled onto this great hobby and brand and I ordered like 9 figures lol great sale!!! Thanks

[@kiltedcripple]

Thank you sir. I love it when newer fans help grow the community and videos like this will go a long ways towards that goal. I know for some just jumping on that the backlog of expensive figures can seem daunting but I krewe to refer to 2 facts: 1) the line lives on resuing offsets so even if you never get exactly all the prices you want in a single figure, the mix and match part swapability makes putting together your ideal character relatively easy 2) the line is supposed to be offering generic kinds of fantasy tropes to encourage us the comedies to swap parts to make "our" character/s and offering and such endless even further customization. I've been with the Horsemen since before Mythic Legions was a thing, and I've missed characters I wanted... only to find larger that I could work out some news characters that were even cooler and felt like mine. Experiment, play, take a look at third party add ins, because believe me, when you start creating your own characters, the official canon seems less significant. Carefully not hundreds of dollars per figure significant. Let the scalpers sell to suckers, save your cash and invest in a few figures when they're news to get several different part and color combos and just start PLAYING. Bon chance, everyone.

[@datamag2018]

Thanks for watching my video! Your points are well seen. A couple weeks ago one of the Mythic Legions experts that I watch each week made a point that this particular line is very unique because it does not have connected media like a movie or cartoon which makes it success all the more impressive. It also ensures that the line won't just die if for instance "the Mythic Legions cartoon got canceled" because it does not depend on any media for its popularity. There's plenty of different kinds of figures for fans to create their own story or build off of what the Horsemen provide in their lore. Throw in the fact that they are built to be customized, and it becomes fertile ground for the imagination. Great stuff!

[@LORDBYRONII]

Very instructive. Thank you. I’m just getting into Mythic Legions in 2020! Five figures in, all other figures are nearly expendable!

[@datamag2018]

Your very welcome, if this video has helped anyone learn about the line or understand it better then mission accomplished for me. It's funny you say all other lines are nearly expendable because I have been thinking the same thing lately. I collect Transformers, Marvel Legends and a little of Mezco/Neca.... but I'm at a point where I have most of the Transformers I would want (character wise) and instead of buying nearly every Legends release I'm going to be more selective, not ordering whole waves of figs just to get build a figures and such. This is a direct result of wanting to build up my Mythic Legions collection. The truth is, it is much easier to back track on missed Legends than Legions!

[@racoonm45t3r]

Thank you. Ive been looking for a video just like this on mythic legions. Helped so much on what I want to collect for this line.

[@datamag2018]

AWESOME!! When I decided to make these videos, my goal was to make stuff that I would have benefitted from when I was thinking about starting to get into the line. So hearing (reading?, lol) comments like this really makes me feel good! Be sure to check out my other Mythic Legions content. Especially the last one that talks about the pre order alert. The Four horsemen still have that one up, and its the cheapest you will ever get these figures. I give a lot of info and advice on that video. You have until 5/31/21 to get your pre-order in!

[@racoonm45t3r]

@@datamag2018 yeah, I saw that release. Plan on getting the templar knight and an ogre.

[@bradleydias425]

Damn, I just learned about this line and I just bought like a really entry level one. The elf knight guy in green. This is such a cool line. It's like RuneScape meets baldurs gate. I'm excited to get a few more.

[@datamag2018]

Mythic Legions does have a certain feel and look that most other toys don't have. Despite its limitations people love this line. There are some absolutely rabid fans of the property. Thanks for having a look!

[@mre4432]

Just heard of Mythic Legions now..approaching Hot Toys money with the ones I want!

[@datamag2018]

Yeah they are pricey on the secondary market, especially the classic 1.0 stuff... However, the Illythia Wave is still up for preorder right now. Ends at 9pm tomorrow (Monday 1/11/21). Its a long wait for the figs but hands down the best time to buy for the actual prices!

[@ToyCulprits]

Woo hoo! Mythic Legions!

[@datamag2018]

Yep this video is old, but it still could help someone trying to learn about the line. Thanks for having a look!

[@ToyCulprits]

@@datamag2018 I'm definitely familiar with the line, probably why this popped up in my feed!

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

This is a great video. I have been collecting this line since the first Kickstarter. This is a expensive hobby so I have cherry picked my favorite figures. Have I regretted missed some figures? Yup. The All Star waves help a lot.

[@datamag2018]

Indeed they do, I just recently got my All Stars 4 order from the horsemen, and boy oh boy did it feel great to have an actual horsemen pre-order arrive. This was my first one I was able to get in on! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@RetroRobotRadio]

Now that we know they're doing version 2 of characters, maybe we'll get version 2 is a lot of the guys from the kickstarter one. I think a lot of the knights who didn't have helmetless heads need V2 releases.

[@datamag2018]

True that! Sign me up for an Otho V2 right now! One of my Holy Grails I'll probably never get... I have a decent custom of him though. Thanks for taking a look!

[@deavonw]

Glad I was able to get in at the start and have the full collection. Considering reviews for all the waves for KZbin, time is the only issue.

[@datamag2018]

Yes sir! I soooo wish I had known about Mythic Legions earlier but through some patience, research and a splurge here and there I have amassed a nice sized collection and I'll be in on pre-orders from now on. Thanks for having a look at my content!

[@deavonw]

@@datamag2018 Secondary market prices are insane. Much more manageable when they were $20 to $40 a figure.

[@datamag2018]

Great video man- love me some mythic legions! One of my absolute favorite figs out there. +1 sub!

Hey thanks for watching and welcome to my page. I recently watched your haul video and I grabbed some great stuff from that instock sale too. If you are interested you should check out my Mythic Legions Lore videos "The Chronicles of Mythoss". Basically, i take the existing mythology of Mythic Legions and expand on it and add my own twists through narration and photography. Thanks again for checking out my content!

New subscriber here..i just found mythic legions 2 weeks ago..so far through trading I have 7 of them and have put some preorders on bbts..i love the line though..and I love making my own characters..even though I dont have enough extras to actually use ML parts..love your vids and I'm marathoning them now..and Yeah its rough when youre so new..plus the few I have through trades I browsed for hours and days for people to help..most people will not trade to you..its very hard to get that going..itll prob be a while before I find more people to trade with..i have hundreds of marvel legends and black series and it's still near impossible to find people willing to trade

[@datamag2018]

Hello and welcome to my channel! So, I have only done one trade in my collecting career and it was for a custom GI Joe so I'm not well versed in places to find good trade partners. However, have you ever heard of the Mythic Legions Cabal? So, they are a shadowy, secretive and clandestine group that is rumored to exist in the dark underbelly of Facebook... J/K LOL, I couldn't help it... Seriously though, the Mythic Legions Cabal is a Facebook group that is all Mythic Legions collectors. I know lots of trades happen in that group, but they make it clear that is not the sole purpose of their organization. I'm guessing that those trades are legions for legions as well, not any other lines like Legends but I don't know that for sure. Also, if you join up and all you ever do is ask for trades you might get banned. They focus on sharing information, customs, and photos of the figs. I hesitated to join for a while because I did not want to be on Facebook, but I finally joined and it is a very supportive community, although I don't frequent the group very much. I would say your best bet to get figures now is BBTS and eBay. The prices on some figures on eBay have come down, not for older 1.0 figs as much but the more recent releases, especially Advent of Decay seem to be reasonable at the moment. The pre Order for Illythia is active now (I covered the wave and strategy for it in a recent video.) which is the best time to spend money on figs, but it is the ultimate in delayed gratification because we won't see these things for a year, but it will be sooo worth it they arrive. I really appreciate you stopping by and watching my vids, feel free to ask for advice or if you have any general questions!

[@ReviewThings]

The advent of Decay figures during the kickstarter were actually less than $35 a piece...I think like $28 and the legion builders were like $18 if you went all in.

[@datamag2018]

Damn! I really missed out then, sheesh! That all in would have still been a struggle even at those prices, but man that would sweeten the deal. I can't imagine how crazy and overwhelming it would have been to get 40 something figures all at once!

[@ingloriousmax]

Interesting, thanks for the info provided. How do you feel about the line in mid 2022?

[@datamag2018]

I'm still very much into it. However, to be honest, waiting for the pre-orders is starting to get frustrating. I told a the guys in a group chat of mine that I had around 1800$ dollars in pre-orders at the moment, and I did not even go all in on every preorder that they've had the last year or so. (In fact I skipped a couple waves, just because of funds.) It's very difficult to justify dropping that kind of money and not seeing product. Let me be clear, I have no worries about Four Horseman delivering, and I'm going to feel way better when my figs show up and other people are stressing about in stock sales, but man being patient is becoming a real challenge. Fortunately, I have other lines and interests, so I can forget about them a little bit. Thanks for watching!

[@ingloriousmax]

@@datamag2018 makes sense. I think I'll be picking up one here and there to fit into a crossover with other lines because yea they are very deep in the line and the wait time is very long for new stuff.

[@datamag2018]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! Yeah i got into Mythic Legions about 1 year or so ago and I am completely onboard with the whole line. This series is just me trying to pass along wisdom and knowledge that i have gained while trying to understand and the line. Thanks again!

[@joshcardenas]

How much do deluxe figures go for

[@datamag2018]

So depending on when you and who you buy from the usually run between 50 or so to 50 or 60ish. Deluxe figures on BBTS are around 50-60$ depending on the figure. They actually have quite a bit of stock at the moment, now is an excellent time to get some figs added to your pile of loot. Legion builders are in stock there for 40.
