Figura Obscura - The Ghost of Jacob Marley - A Christmas Carol - Mythic Legions Action Figure Review

"We're Marley and Marley Whoooooaaaahhhhh" 🎶

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

I’m calling you Billy the Goat for now on because you mentioned Muppets Christmas Carol! Best Christmas movie ever! This figure is awesome! Had to jump on it. Great review man!

[@DorkLair]

I love that movie so much, but check this sadness out, my daughter refuses to watch any Muppets because she has recurring Muppet nightmares. Like even when she hasn't watched Muppets in forever she'll wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat and tell me she had another Muppet nightmare.

[@stevewegling8070]

​@@DorkLairit's one of the things as a parent you wish you could help more with , did you try a dreamcatcher? The very least it will be the thought that counts 🤔

[@beng8625]

The Horsemen are spoiling us rotten. These parts are going to mix nicely with the undead builders and blue Hagnon.

[@DorkLair]

[@katlinhager1813]

Just ordered mine and started waiting for your vid to see if I get more than the few I already got..lol..love that ur review is part of these drops now

[@DorkLair]

Awesome, thanks for watching!

[@mikemasi7513]

Yes a new reveal would not be complete without Bills videos 👊🏼💯

[@katlinhager1813]

@@mikemasi7513 exactly 💯 it really has become a part of it now

That "rust green color" in the copper is called "patina", something I learned because of figure collecting, which is funny 😅

[@DorkLair]

Yeah technically. It's also called verdigris. But forms in a very similar way to how rust forms.

[@chrisortiz7487]

From McFarlane Toys, I presume?🤔 He makes all sorts of Patina Editions of his figures.

@@chrisortiz7487 exactly! I was like "the hell is patina". Now I know haha

@@DorkLair that kind of makes sense, because we use that word in Spanish as a color "greenish grey". Even though the actual verdigris color looks more green than grey haha. Well, now I know as well.

[@TrueAmericanReject]

This will be my very first 4Horsemen figure- it being the first I saw & wanted that wasn’t already sold out

[@DorkLair]

Awesome, glad you were able to grab one! Out of curiosity, which ones were sold out?

[@TrueAmericanReject]

@@DorkLair Usually the classic find out about these kind of figures a few days after & it’s too late or can’t fit a figure in the budget at the time. I found out about original Headless horseman release when it was in collector’s hands or a con exclusive usually being the ones I want the most as they get that little bit extra into them.

[@RendersFX.]

My favorite ML reviewer by far - this unboxing made my day Bill! With the Headless Horseman now being my top shelf figure of all time, the Figura Obscura line has been a real highlight across the board, awesome stuff!

[@DorkLair]

Thank you so much!

[@dreworiginals]

This is my first pickup from Four Horsemen. Timing was just right as my we were decorating for xmas last night before today’s drop. We really hope they do the rest of the spirits!

[@DorkLair]

With the response Marley's Ghost has been getting, I would not be surprised at all if the do the rest!

[@ShanthEnjetiArt]

A fine video that alerted me to this figure's existence. I have ordered other Figura Obscura but as a massive fan of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." The nuance of the closed mouth facial features and kept if from being cartoonish, though I do appreciate the other head. Thank you for showing the figure so well in your video and best wishes. I ordered the figure.

[@DorkLair]

I'm glad it was helpful! Enjoy the figure!

[@TheFutureLooksGrimm]

Thank you so much, I didn’t know anything about this and am a huge Christmas Carol fan! So because of you I got to buy this in time! It looks so great! The chains and the safe are all awesome!

[@DorkLair]

Fantastic! I'm glad you were able to get one!

[@malcolmkennedy9351]

Yet another awesome review. Said it before but will say it again, I love the unboxing bit you add to these where you discover what it is. Also loved the Cosmic pop and swaps you did here!

[@DorkLair]

Thanks brother!

[@MythicCustoms]

Another wonderful review and early look! Thank you for being a part of this with us once again!!!

[@DorkLair]

My pleasure as always and likewise thank you for including me in this phenomenal line!

[@noahpratt8326]

Great release! Great review! Great googly moogly!

[@DorkLair]

Haha! Thanks brother!

[@boycalledmalice]

Fantastic reveal and review as always, Bill! So happy that 4HM deemed it that you get to do the Figura Obscura coverage. Perfect person for the job! Kudos! 😃

[@DorkLair]

Thank you so much!

[@markd9803]

Bill, you really do live next to Four Horsemen Studios. It just released and you already got your shipping.

[@DorkLair]

🤣

[@chrisgawrych3447]

he paid for that rizz service hahaha

[@CandGoods]

When I initially saw this at the time of the initial drops, I was like "I'm okay with passing on this", but I had time to think after that, today it came up again for order, and I had to go for it, he looks amazing and I need him in my collection. It was either grab him or the OG Father Christmas, and I can always grab the retailer-exclusive Father Christmas and be happy.

[@DorkLair]

And the retailer Father Christmas kinda goes well with Marley since it could also stand in as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

[@Toygains]

This company just keeps getting better and better.

[@DorkLair]

Totally!

[@adrionjones]

They have these drops in the right hands. Kudos, Bill. Love the figure. Deliberating over buying a second.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you!

[@hedgehogaction]

This release is incredible! I didn't want to get my hopes up when they dropped the tease, but they knocked it out of the park. Fantastic reveal as always!!!

[@DorkLair]

Thanks man!

[@BrickSomething]

Rich guy in chains. ✊🏾 Jokes aside, love this fig and the story it comes from. Hyped on that coat piece, and the whole chain setup is amazing. Sadly I’m gonna pass for now and use the $81 bucks (tax and shipping to CA) and put towards a Rising Sons all-in next month. (Ironically, $81 is the current cost for tax and shipping for the all-in order. 😂) Congrats on the review. Fantastic and thorough once again. ✌🏾➕✊🏾

[@DorkLair]

Rise UP!

[@BrickSomething]

@@DorkLairWe have nothing to lose but our amazingly painted accessories!!! ✊🏾

[@chrisortiz7487]

Awesome 4H FO figure! I pre-ordered mine. Suggestion for future Figura Obscura fig: Troll-sized CTHULHU for $130!! That would be a dream come true!❤❤

[@DorkLair]

That would be epic!

[@JohnC_EuroLegions]

Amazing review Bill. You continue to knock these out of the park!

[@curtismakerman]

Great review. I love what you do with Figura Obscura.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you so much Curtis!

[@TheWolfie234]

I recently made a new friend who showed me this figure. I tend to collect figures from Japanese style companies so I didn't know about the quality or how Four Horseman figures work. But this video really gave me much insight. I snagged him off ebay. Im so excited. He's gonna look so good in my collection. I will probably make a diorama with him. Maybe go all out for the holidays... Edit:Thank you for the review. It was expansive and very informative. It makes me want to follow this company for the other cool figures they make

[@DorkLair]

My pleasure, thanks for watching, I'm glad it was helpful.

[@dzsquad1965]

Awesome fig and vid brother dork ,I just ordered my fig this morning!!!

[@BigDub]

Awesome review. Love your energy and enthusiasm for this and literary source material coming through. This is an amazing piece, so many uses for customizers, diorama builders, etc but the release itself on its own is exceptional.

[@DorkLair]

Thanks Big Dub!

[@vonnyrotten]

Great review, Bill! Probably going to be my first pass of FO. He looks great for what he is but much too specific for my personal uses. If it was a cloth jacket it would have been a no brainer! I know customizers will love some of the new parts though

[@DorkLair]

Thank you!

[@mantistoboggan7228]

Yeah a soft goods jacket....odd they didnt go that way

[@vadoraid2517]

I wasn’t getting him but I decided to get the bear & drawfs now instead of pre’ing them on BBToys & I’ll be paying for shipping anyways & I know he’d be perfect for xmas but after xmas you can use him for necronimus army especially if you bought the zombie set with the translucent heads & limbs

[@articulatedtimes]

An all around awesome release for sure!

[@thirty3255]

I’ll wait for the Glow in the Dark version.

[@DorkLair]

Yes! That seems inevitable! Just gotta wait a year or two is all.

[@MikeKaess]

Finally, a figure you can’t convince me to buy! ….. because I already bought it as soon as it went live at 6am my time.

[@DorkLair]

LMAO!

[@fortressmattimus3984]

Interesting that Bill didn't show us what's inside the safe. Could there be a secret in there? Great figure and another awesome review. It's becoming a holiday tradition for me at this point

[@DorkLair]

I wonder what old Marley might be hiding in there!

[@jltinius]

Dude you just made my morning! Ordered!🤩

[@DorkLair]

Awesome!

[@granfo]

This figure looks absolutely bonkers.

[@DorkLair]

💯

[@sirdaveysockrocker]

any customizer who chops up one of these limited-run, gorgeous figures, is a sadist.

[@DorkLair]

They might be limited run, but they make A LOT of these.

[@ryanlbowman]

Great review. My initial reaction to seeing the figure this morning was that I don't need it, and I wasn't sure if I even liked it. After seeing your review, I do like it, but I'm still going to pass, mainly I need every dollar for the Rising Sons wave (need the All In plus some extras). I do look forward to the new parts showing up on future figures, and perhaps I can trade for one at some point. I do like A Christmas carol a lot, but I definitely favor the Muppets version. If this was a Michael Caine as Scrooge, I'd buy the heck out of it.

[@DorkLair]

That's the beauty of this line, there's always a good chance that the parts will come back around again on something you like even better. Always something great on the horizon.

[@fightincodenames481]

[@stevewegling8070]

Bill, another figure where the head sculpt kills it. The misery shackeles and all the miserly attachments make such a statement (no pun intended)😉 for this Figura Obscura. All the customs worked well. You do have a great eye for part swapping.✌️

[@DorkLair]

Thanks!

[@saturnscore3059]

This would have been the perfect look for the headless horseman

[@DorkLair]

I don't think this coat would work on the horse.

[@saturnscore3059]

@@DorkLair possibly because it does look more rigid. Maybe they could have shorten the jacket and kept the cape that came with the horseman

That body, mythic is going to shore soon it seems

[@DorkLair]

Yes, I hope so!

[@Talisac80]

having only collected 4h for a short time now, i quickly realized its alot of reuse between every figure. meaning you really arent getting your moneys worth at the price point for alot of the figures. repaints with a new head isnt justified in the price. but these figures have for the most part been all unique and heavily detailed and worth the money. this one was another must buy

[@DorkLair]

I disagree about Legions value, but I respect your opinion. Thanks for sharing!

[@JustShelveIt]

So cool!!

[@DorkLair]

[@CollectorZown]

Damn it’s a cool figure. Great video man.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you!

[@chibrony]

Anyone see Jesse Arnold silhouette at certain angles of the screaming head?

[@DorkLair]

Haha! Yeah I kinda do!

[@truerc]

Nice figure. Only bought one this time. Unfortunately, value is tied to supply and it seems like 4H are making too many figures nowadays. I've seen auctions end for below the original 4H store prices recently. That's a problem and not a good sign.

[@DorkLair]

The pendulum will swing back eventually. They make so many figures because their audience is continually growing. If this pattern you are seeing of auctions ending well below retail continues, more and more people like yourself will opt to skip buying up front, which means 4H will start making less. Which will swing the supply/demand dynamic back to scarcity, and people will go back to complaining about the high aftermarket prices being "not a good sign" instead.

[@truerc]

@@DorkLair Hopefully it does. But I would argue strongly to those on the other side that figures holding their value, or increasing, is most certainly a good sign and not bad.

[@dattonex]

Imagine if the doorknockers could be used as shoulder pads..over the top

[@DorkLair]

That would be cool!

[@stephenpercha8360]

I noticed you didn't show the inside of the safe 😉

[@DorkLair]

I wonder what old Marley could be hiding in that safe?

[@miragexl007]

Sure find out about things late. This sold out of course. Maybe a restock? Who knows nowadays.

[@DorkLair]

Unfortunately this one is gone. But there are ways to avoid missing out on these like getting on the Four Horsemen mailing list or turning on alerts for this channel.

[@DorkLair]

Four Horsemen just announced on their Livestream that Marley's Ghost will be available again on storehorsemen.com starting Friday 12/8 at 9am ET.
