Mythic Legions Lijae Review - 2023 Retailer Appreciation Elite Elven Guard Action Figure

[@traviswilcox3472]

I like the review. I like the figure. I like the pop & swap. I like that now I need more than a few because you’re so good at selling these Bill !!

[@Abagone]

Nice Pop and Swaps

[@DorkLair]

Thank you!

[@gamequestdq1]

Wasn't excited about this figure at all with the head sculpt looking vacant in its expression, but seeing all the pop/swap possibilities with the extra limbs, and armor pieces I can now recognize so many possibilities (helped tremendously by your examples) for new knights, skeletal warriors, etc. In short, this great review cost me money! Lol.

[@DorkLair]

I'm sorry and you're welcome!

[@Kingcastlesieger]

Cool paint, not a fan of the mismatched look. Way more value as just parts, personally.

[@Fenrizfur]

Just a tought, thinking back on the Stock sale : Anyone else combined Demistros with Phobus to create an other Horsemen? Thinking even further : Demistros with the black (Wayne Barlowe) head that came with the TU5CC Sentry and Phobus with an Equaddron head... Also a good match might be Boreus and Vorgus Vermillius 2 OR Phobus with a Vampire Phalanx Legion Builder perhaps?

[@Collier1313]

Originally I had no interest in this figure, but man, with all those pop n' swap possibilities I'm going to have to pick up one.

[@fortressmattimus3984]

I wasn't planning on getting this figure but as soon as I saw the black limbs with the panther head, well now I know how I can finally use that head

[@OHSnappage]

Great mash ups. I didn’t order this fig as I didn’t care for the red & gold look armor, or the short haired elf head or orc head. But you def brought some cool ideas.

[@deborahsuzanne667]

Fab review as always x I cannot wait for mine to arrive. Fingers crossed it comes tomorrow!

[@Bocalt]

Sees the video pop up on youtube, goes straight to pop and swap section 😅

[@DorkLair]

Haha! You're not alone!

[@chadstahl6052]

Me too

[@predpool2425]

Waiting to get mine, that shield should look great with Rahmulus. Great review 👍

[@BrickSomething]

I preordered this so long ago that I completely forgot he has an alt orc look. Ha. And I definitely didn’t remember that it came with those plain black limbs. Rad. Just waiting for this and Kalizir to hit the pile of loot to be united with the rest of my Poxxus stuff. Only have Zende in hand. As always, super helpful review. ✌🏾➕✊🏾

[@DorkLair]

Glad to help!

[@vonnyrotten]

Another great review, Sir Billiam. I think it's always great to actually get NEW head sculpts, I personally get really tired of the constant reuse (I definitely understand why and am not complaining, it's just boring for me personally). I really like that he comes with extra "arms and legs" and it's cool that it's a rarer color (looks AWESOME for the Panther and especially that Gorgo combo!) but it seems like a VERY bizarre color choice for this specific character. I get its fantasy and anything is possible, I suppose, but it's like he has a Venom-ized body. It's not like this is a uber tight spandex costume, the anatomy is waaaay too detailed for that. So in summation...lol it's an awesome mix of parts, just some of those parts are specifically odd for this guy!

[@DorkLair]

I wonder if it was the real life Lijae himself, the one who commissioned it, who asked for the superhero suit look.

[@vonnyrotten]

@@DorkLair that would certainly make "sense", doesn't mean it's a good idea! lol Like I said, its cool parts to have, just odd skin color choice for the 2 heads. Curious if there is some sort of lore/history/character that this was pulled from (by Lijae).

[@dethcythe]

How much does it cost to make a ML figure of yourself? lol...my Lijae is on the way hopefully.

[@DorkLair]

I'm gonna take a guess and say somewhere between $10k and $50k. But I really have no clue.

[@blaisebear6850]

@@DorkLairfwiw Jeremy did confirm in last week’s show that it was in fact a commission type thing from a fan in China through one of their retailers. He also said it’s not likely something they’re looking to do again

[@CHEMP0P]

That Gorgo2 combo is something else! I don't own Magnus, but I have a small mix of gold/black/red figures that Lijae will help fill out. Also, I don't own the bare chest Barbarian Builder, does the flesh tone orc head match the Galdiator DLB? Thank you so much!

[@DorkLair]

Because there is a color gradiant in the half orc head, I think it will probably look good on the gladiator as well.

[@stevewegling8070]

Bill, the retailer figures while having a higher price point do not skimp on accessories and paint apps. There is.value and incredible customization options especially Lijae. You went through a series of pop and swaps with all looking inspired. The extra evil Gorgo was a favorite. The last helmet designated maybe a specific Orc? We'll see😉✌️

[@DorkLair]

"Higher price" is relatively speaking of course, since they have the same MSRP as all standard figures. The difference is in the fact that they don't offer them for the discounted direct order pricing.

[@stevewegling8070]

@@DorkLair I get it. The preorders and direct ordering are special.

[@tommyboy6267]

A note of caution. Just got mine and if you plan to be taking the helmet on and off the human head you might want to spread out the cheek pieces. Didn't do that...and either the helmet is leaving pant on the face or it's scraping off the face. Be careful.

[@DorkLair]

Good tip!

[@deadshadow04]

6:41 brooo the sword is top tier!!!!! Wow!!!!

[@DorkLair]

Seriously!

[@natestrong2187]

Excellent review and such bad ass pop and swaps as always!

[@DorkLair]

Thanks Nate!

Thank you!

[@hankfrankshaw]

Fine, you convinced me! Just ordered 2 more. 😂

[@DorkLair]

Haha! "Why not, why shouldn't I...?

[@deadshadow04]

Waiting for mine to come in already

[@DorkLair]

Today is the street date, so the retailers should start shipping them soon!

[@thestrongcollectors]

Those pop and swaps were some of the best ever!

[@DorkLair]

Thank you!

TRULY OUTRAGEOUS!!!

[@gibimaniacos]

Lindo!

[@jeremygovier6403]

So many pop and swap options 💜

[@DorkLair]

It's a versatile figure for sure!

[@MOCTurtle4911]

Oh I like that Templar Relic cat custom. I may do that when mine arrive. Also want to take the black arms and thighs to mix into a Veteris to try and make an homage to Crucible Knight from Elden Ring. Good review, looking forward to this figure.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you! Another cool option for the bare black limbs and cat head is Sir Owain.

[@MOCTurtle4911]

@@DorkLair Thanks. Might try that for the cleric I want to build, using Zende's powered-up head and was going to use Owain's shoulders and gauntlets.

[@juliocortes6305]

Great pops and swaps

[@DorkLair]

Thanks!

[@russelllemieux]

Ordered the glow in the dark ....Im kinda running out of room .

We are all running out of room!

@DorkLair I'm up to my eyeballs in fi gs .And I wanna buy a hiss or turtle van or charger

[@gonickyourself]

That P&S at the end… so good. 👌

[@DorkLair]

Thanks!

[@Puppyplex]

That helmet on that skeleton looked pawesome.

[@DorkLair]

That's the only one that REALLY nails it for me.

[@jrice5198]

I panic bought 2 more last night.

[@DorkLair]

Haha, I think I have four total coming.

[@jrice5198]

@@DorkLair same now.

[@vadoraid2517]

Yeah I recall jeremy saying something like that for this figure & they normally don’t do custom sculpts so don’t expect them doing selfies like Hasbro

[@ytrefugee113]

Love all the custom possibilities with this figure! Im hoping bbts gets them in today so i can have them ship my pile of loot! Awesome review and look at some of the possible parts swaps!

[@blaisebear6850]

I LOVE this release. The paint, the parts options, the overall aesthetic. It’s just fantastic top to bottom

9:19 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 this swap is it

[@DorkLair]

Thanks!

[@whozyourdaddy]

Your part swaps are the best in the Legions community. Also, it's time to start campaigning for a removeable helmet pack. I wouldn't mind seeing this helmet in gold, silver, black, red, white and so on. Amazing how a single helmet makes such a difference. Horsemen, make it happen!

[@DorkLair]

Thank you!
