Figura Obscura - Masque of the Red Death Review - Mythic Legions Action Figure

[@skela_soria1977]

I absolutely love the fact that they included a copy of the story.

[@DorkLair]

Same!

[@blaisebear6850]

So cool! I love the full literary theme. I read a lot of Poe as a kid and I remember being super creeped out by this story. Great review Bill!

[@DorkLair]

So classic.

[@CapLives]

It's a Great looking figure. I'm glad 4 Hourseman keeps you involved in their reveal process.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you! Thanks for checking it out!

[@Ozone947]

Your pop and swaps are the only reason i watch these. You have the best ideas

[@DorkLair]

Thanks, I'm glad you like those!

[@gonickyourself]

Freaking awesome man! So glad you got to review this bad boy.

Dang, that bod is terrific!

It really is, I love it. Pretty much all new.

[@katlinhager1813]

You being the one Who reveals is one of my favorite parts..love this figure and those parts

[@DorkLair]

Thank you so much!

[@bookat69]

Pretty awesome. Blows me away every time we get one of these guys without hearing anything about it until like the day before it drops, and using a whole bunch of parts we were expecting to be getting later down the road.

[@DorkLair]

Right! So cool. And it'll start shipping this week!

[@Cyberrat629]

Ok, this was one amazing reveal and review! A very spooky and ominous figure. I didn’t know what to expect from the clock, I was thinking actually maybe the “tell tale heart”, or some macabre “alice in wonderland” white rabbit tie in. I think I purchased it before I finished your intro lol. Love the clock and the blood! Really opens up the world for anything to come now!

[@DorkLair]

Four Horsemen diving into the diorama world is really an amazing move.

[@BigDub]

Great Review! I love you get to reveal these, and this one is definitely fitting!

[@DorkLair]

Thanks Big Dub!

[@billybeigecustoms]

Out of all the guesses, this was not on my Bingo card!! Big surprise and great review!

[@DorkLair]

I was surprised how many people got it right!

[@outrundaylight]

As soon as the figure dropped, I thought "I wonder if Bill will rev..." Boom! Great job!!

[@DorkLair]

Haha starting to sense a trend.

[@outrundaylight]

@@DorkLair I'm going to time you from the start of Legions Con to when your review goes up for exclusives. You have set the bar!

[@DorkLair]

@@outrundaylight Haha! I'm not doing that again this year. Too much time away from the show floor last year.

[@johnpuglio1385]

Fantastic figure! Not only is this a beautiful tribute to Poe, but it is perfect for a skull-faced sorcerer right out of Robert E. Howard. It would look great displayed with Mezco’s Conan or Solomon Kane. I’m hoping to pick up 2 tonight!

[@DorkLair]

100%

[@SP8inc]

In that sense, I wish the 4H would do a Conan-like figure. For thise of us who can't affor a $100+ mezco conan.

[@DorkLair]

@@SP8inc It's quite possible that the next Legions wave will be Barbarians.

[@OneSixShooter]

Great review, Bill! And those swaps! ❤💀

[@DorkLair]

Thanks Trevor! And right back at you with those photos!

[@nick77353]

Great review Bill! I wasn’t considering this figure, but you got me again with your top notch review! That clock is sooooo beautiful!! I need to get it!

[@DorkLair]

Awesome, I'm glad my vid was helpful!

[@yorick4179]

Same here. It was going to be my first pass on Figura Obscura. Now I’m reconsidering it.

[@traviswilcox3472]

Another Figure Review!! First Solomon Kane & now this one. YES! Bill does such a great job.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you Travis! Glad you like it!

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I like that they are adding more articulation and it isn't obvious. Super articulation is ugly on most naked figures.

[@BobaVett]

This crushed me. I absolutely ADORE that story. I have gotten every Figura drop so far, but they released this one right after a bit of a financial wrench was thrown my way. Hopefully it won’t be too crazy on ebay. This may be my favorite release in this line. It’s so well done.

[@DorkLair]

Most of the Figura Obscura releases are very fairly priced in the aftermarket. I think you'll be fine to wait.

[@BobaVett]

@@DorkLairI had not checked any of the past releases to see how high they went, but, you definitely know your stuff. I’m sure it will be fine.

[@Roca891]

Hope you got one. I just picked one up for $60.

[@thefreakofficial4396]

I honestly feel like they should be including those books with all of the figura obscura figures, that's a really nice touch

[@dethcythe]

Sick figure! The all in version sold out first round.

[@DorkLair]

Yeah it usually does. They'll put more up tonight.

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I'm really glad Four Horsemen are improving on articulation. I love the designs, sculpts and pain work of their figures, but the lack of articulation compared to most other collector lines was turning me off getting more of their stuff after going really hard for a while. Plus, this guy just looks liek a cool addition to any undead army!

[@DorkLair]

This definitely feels to me like the first FO that's has major army builder potential.

[@elderlynahum7663]

Sculpted ankles look beautiful! 😍

[@DorkLair]

For sure!

[@beng8625]

This might be the coolest thing they've ever done, wow. Can't wait to get one of these.

[@DorkLair]

Hell yeah!

[@LewisChristisonVids]

It's great that they keep working with you to do these reveal videos! You read it the first time during covid, too? I'm gonna need this body as a legion builder in the same color as the Necronominus zombie heads.

[@DorkLair]

I originally read it when I was a kid, but I read it with my own students for the first time during Covid.

[@stevewegling8070]

HP Lovecraft should have Cthulhu homage or Hastur the King in Yellow for something more obscure.

I could definitely see that happening.

[@davidwilliams8531]

Awesome review as always. I love to see your initial reaction to these.

[@DorkLair]

Thanks David. I almost didn't include it this time (or maybe put it at the end) because the data shows that most people skip over it. But I decided to keep it, and edit it down so it isn't so long.

[@articulatedtimes]

Fantastic Review!! Top notch work Bill 😁👍

[@DorkLair]

Thanks a bunch!

[@rickjones8005]

Great review. Two literary characters back to back R. E. Howard and Poe, who's a brainy teacher? This got me thinking one of the Odscura figures should be Cthulhu but this would have to be a lot of new tooling. I'd love a FH C'Thul'Hu and I think it'd be popular. Thanks Bill! ✌️

[@christiancividino455]

Would love a Cthulhu!!

[@DorkLair]

I think the Monkey King proved that they are not afraid to do a lot of new tooling for a Figura release.

[@chrisortiz7487]

He would have to be Mythic Legions troll-sized... at the VERY least.

[@nicholasrossano7340]

Waiting for Poxxus for almost 2 years now. Hope that will be worth the wait.

[@DorkLair]

I'm friends with a number of people at 4HM and I can assure you no one is more frustrated with Legions delays than 4HM themselves. The big difference between 4HM and other companies is that they would rather have delays than release less than their best effort.

[@truerc]

Wonder if we'll see the Seven Deadly Sins in the future. Seems like it would make a sweet figure set.

[@DorkLair]

That would be a cool set. A seven figure bundle might be a tough one to sing for a lot of buyers though.

[@stevewegling8070]

What would be more likely in my opinion is releasing the Sins individually. That way they can space it. Build anticipation. Something like the Four Horseman waves(A, I P, &N) in the Mythos universe. Good idea.

[@ArnaldoReyes]

Great review as always. Question… how did you manage to fit the loin cloth pieces on the HH bottom parts? The skirt piece doesnt seem to fit on the legion parts.

[@DorkLair]

It was a tight fit. I had to use lots of heat.

[@ArnaldoReyes]

@@DorkLair Thanks for the info

[@jayveeMurder]

If you get popping and swapping you should try the red robes with the red parts from the Furious 4 characters

[@DorkLair]

Yeah that's a popular request. The arms will definitely look great, legs won't matter because they'll be hidden.

[@metamorphomisk]

I agree. The wires on Legions is too weak for anything really dynamic

[@DorkLair]

I love the wires that Mezco uses on most figures. They hold a pose well.

[@JAbell1966]

Been far too long since I've read the story, I'd forgotten the revelers being the seven deadly sins. I love their designs in the wrap-around and hope that they are on the table for future releases. BTW, do you think that the waist-wrap piece would work with the female bodies?

[@DorkLair]

In the story, the revelers are not the 7 deadly sins. This was a creative interpretation done by the artist. The wrap might be a little large for most legions female.bodies.

[@gl5399]

Is the mask removable from the head/face sculpt?

[@DorkLair]

Yes it is, but I promised not to reveal what's underneath. They want it to be a surprise for when collectors get them in hand.
