The hole in the back is to accommodate an adaptor that is made for plugging in wings and other accessories. She didn't come with the adaptor, because this particular character doesn't have wings. As far as having to be told how to put belts and other accessories on the figure, that's part of the beauty of the line. There isn't a right or wrong way. If it's frustrating because everything is falling off or acting loose, then change it up. You don't have to put everything on the figure. It's about having options. As far as pricing goes, yeah it's $50 from a retailer, but she was $37 if preordered directly from the Four Horsemen. With that in mind, there's a metric ton of value in this figure.

@@NostalgiaUnboxed Just be careful, this is a very dangerous rabbit hole. I got into Mythic Legions about a year ago, and currently have about $5000 in open preorders. :/ It's hard to care about other toy lines after finding Mythic Legions, but it's also hard to pay after market prices or wait for preorders.

Hi all. Sorry if it has lready been posted but Id didn't see the answer through a quick scroll of the comments. Mythic legion figures generally all have the hole in the back. Most figures come with 2 tabs which can slot in. I think eventually they slowed down with the tabs because all the collectors end up with a box full. The tabs are used to install wings from other figures / the previous line of figures. A part of the ML community is into modding / kitbashing, so they like to keep options open to add in the wings. The round holes in the back can be used to plug wings in directly. However, if you're using pauldrons they wont fit / look off, so the tab creates distance between the body and the wings, allowing you to have pauldrons and wings. Heres the shortest vid I could find showing some wings m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWHLeWCCfJ6bhJo&pp=ygUbTXl0aGljIGxlZ2lvbnMgYWRkaW5nIHdpbmdz

The hole in the back is a common thing for Mythic Legions. It is for an adapter so that some figures can have wings and shoulder paundrons at the same time. This figures are modular so if you get wings from this line you can display them on your Avaronq figure.

Frustration and action figures go hand-in-hand. I’ve been collecting for 31 years and have come to find that there’s always some design flaw, an ill-fitting part, or a funky articulation point that causes your blood pressure to go up. The perfect action figure has yet to be made, but that's what keeps us coming back for more.

I own a good selection of both Mythic & Cosmic Legions, and even though I prefer double joints, the single joints work surprisingly well for posing. They meet or exceed my expectations sculpting & paintwork, atention to detail, accessories, soft goods (on some) and design, just joy to own. My favourites are Cosmic Legions because there is a severe lack of space-based figures (Note to Mattel : Please bring back "Major Matt Mason" ).

I was a huge fan of the line and loved it, but they have gotten really expensive, it used to be cheaper to buy straight from the 4H website but they have the most ridiculous absurd, super bogus, overly expensive shipping I have ever seen. Like 3 figures cost like almost an additional 60 bucks to ship to Texas plus the taxes they now charge really puts it a very high price. The shipping used to be very reasonable but it tripled their last pre-order on the 4 horsmen website. Some online retailers used to sell them for the same 4 horsemen price of 37 dollars and offered free shipping, but sadly those online retailers that did that got in trouble with 4H and were forced to put them at 49.99. One website tried to clearance or temporary sale on the moss man tribute figure and then someone bragged about it on Facebook, 4H saw it and acted immediately and the online retailer got a harsh talkin-too by 4H and they had to put it at 49.99 again.

Yes, the packaging is intentionally designed like that to be collector friendly. Can put em in, take em out. The plastic piece under the soft goods is kind of an inside joke sorta. They started out plastic and they added the soft goods. So it's just two options for your preference. That's just how they ship them. There's no directions because its all custom, do whatchu want! 😊 So now the big question, when are you joining the cabal? 😂
