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]

Holy cow! Wings and a cheaper price?? Well, it sounds like preordering is definitely the way to go!

@@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.

[@SimpleTricksNonsense]

Figures made for folks who like versatility, customization and being able to display how you want. They do take for granted that you'll figure things out or deduce how things go. Experimentation and ingenuity go a long way.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I think a simple paper card in the box to remind you that they can come apart would be good for new collectors. A genius idea for a figure line though and I love it

[@HankG51]

I would like to mention the $49.99 price tag is the price set by Four Horsemen for Retailers. They offer pre orders directly from Four Horsemen where the prices are lower

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

And THAT is amazing!!

[@HankG51]

The square hole in her back will take an adaptor and you can give her wings

[@peterbarnard6754]

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

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

So kind of you to write all of this up and share that link. Thank you so much! Now to find me some wings!! Haha

[@bigguidokc7619]

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.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That’s a good point. The endless hunt

[@Jcc2224]

My favorite Mythic Legions figure by far is Pixxus. Blue skeleton spartan warrior boy named after Pixel Dan? I adore it. They've done some seriously amazing stuff. Great video, despite not personally collecting the majority of what you review, I've been binging your stuff lately. Awesome stuff man!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Wow, that’s the ultimate compliment. Thank you so much! I had no idea they made something named after Dan. That’s amazing

[@AcroNinja666]

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.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Now I need me some wings!!

[@joshuaanthony1871]

So Mythic Legions just did a blind box of two figures, one new and one old chase. I ended up getting Lady Avarona as the new figure. I understand your frustration, I immediately took a broad sword from the other chase figure I received, and gave it to her!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Excellent choice of weapon!

[@thatsavibe9085]

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

[@emphorepolpatinedasenate]

Dude the reason there is no instructions for how to put belts on the figure is because u can put it anywhere u want and u don't half to follow anything. Infact if u don't want any belts just don't put it on

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I think that cool, but for someone that hasn’t bought one of their figures they need some additional information. Show buyers how much they can come apart

[@thomasgoesnostalgic]

I tried to hold off on Mythic Legions but the reissue Headless Horseman got me

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That thing looks so good!!

[@paltrax]

The lack of instructions is mostly because its not a big mechanical thing like a figma. If it fits go for it up to you

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

[@nathanilsaenz8178]

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.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That's super weird. I just preordered some stuff that comes next year and it was $10 for shipping. Sorry it's gotten so pricey for you.

[@nathanilsaenz8178]

$10 shipping?! was this from the 4H website?! because its usually super pricey, especially to Texas, unless you live in the New England area close to Jersey@@NostalgiaUnboxed

[@6ejg9]

Yah legions don't usually come with instructions on how to attach accessories, having to attach a cape for the first time was really a pain.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Once you have one I think it’s no big deal, but for someone’s first experience we need some instructions to show how much they can actually come apart and enforce the idea they are modular

Dude!! You are hysterical! Great review! I just subscribed!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

[@joec1060]

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? 😂

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha, thanks for all that and I’m looking forward to some more eventually. The piece under the soft goods popped off during posing and I was like, ohhhh this is better!! Haha

[@spadedonemcdysentery2493]

I’ve been looking at this line for a while but space is limited and I never made the leap. I recently picked up the neca Grimsword and it’s got me wanting some more generic fantasy stuff and these seem to be the gold standard for that.
