Mythic Legions Ranking: Sons of the Red Star

[@tylerstevens19]

Another great ranking video with an overview of the Rising Sons faction. My favorite upcoming figure is Skapular the Cryptbreaker, and for figures I currently own I like Mephitor quite a lot, but can't argue with any of your picks.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think Mephitor would be fun if i had one but there's always figures I don't have yet that i want more that are in stock.

[@DCM0213]

I like many from this but gryshaa and lord veteris have always stood out to me. Love the colors and armor on veteris

[@thestrongcollectors]

He does look really cool. I think his higher price tag got me to sell him right away so i could pick up other cheaper figures.

[@nathanilsaenz8178]

My favorite in this faction so far is the Dark Templar, i liked the fins on the horns of the helmet, I also like him because you can have multiple and use him as Hospitaller Knights, so you can create a crusader display and use Dark Templars, then use the regular templars as Knights templars and use the relic guards as Teutonic knights and recreate the historic crusades of Jeruselum in the medieval ages. They are just overall cool because they can double as fantasy knights but for those who are not even into legions they can buy them use them as historic knights as well. I can also imagine people into history buying one to display in their offices or as a centerpiece even

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah the templars are great for getting non legions fans into the line.

[@fightincodenames481]

These videos have been fantastic. Great job.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Thank you. I'm currently recording the good guy factions.

[@puffinman1138]

I think Sir Girard is the best one. Extra points for that head sculpt.

[@thestrongcollectors]

agreed. hard to beat that one. He hanks high for me in all mythic legions.

[@CountryManStan7]

Sir Girard is totally my number one figure. Was like my top five figures that got me into Mythic Legions

[@thestrongcollectors]

You can't go wrong with him. Great figure, great story, great guy.

[@MattCNormand]

Scapular 2 is easily the best of the faction, not even close. Grysha was one of my first Legions, and I absolutely love that one, but Scapular 2 is in another league, definitely among the best of the line in general. Scapular by himself is a stacked figure that looks great, but he also has a completely alternate look with the robes. Sure, he’s more expensive, but only $11 more than a standard figure, and you’re basically getting 2 figures in 1. You could easily throw those soft goods on a Legion Builder, or even a cheap figure from another line, and build out a small group of red robed cultists.

[@thestrongcollectors]

it wild how much more we get in the figures now than even what came a couple years ago. 4H packs so much value into these figures.

[@MattCNormand]

@@thestrongcollectors no doubt. I only wound up preordering one of the actual All Stars from the upcoming All Stars 6 wave because why buy Bothar Shadowhorn when you can get Skalli Bonesplitter for the same price in the same wave?

[@Hollowalone1]

Also, I'm going with Sir Girard for the same reasons. He looks fantastic with the demon head from the heads pack

[@thestrongcollectors]

Very true. I like the red demon head on a combination of Pelvicus and Vampire Phalanx.

[@saintjimmy5738]

Skapular the cryptbreaker is my number one. I have it preordered and I can’t wait to get it!

[@thestrongcollectors]

I bet he's going to be even better than people are expecting and i think there's a lot of expectation to begin with.

[@Abagone]

For me its Sir Girard. I just love the Skeletons and he was my first purchase together with Ilgarr. Also the Interview you guys did with Jeremy was the first one i watched about Mythic Legions. It came out right after i noticed the Necronominus Wave and looked ML up on here.

[@thestrongcollectors]

that great. I'm glad you found the video at the right time. we wanted to make something that was what I was looking for when i was first getting into the line. I'd love to have him back on to chat some more.

[@dbacsafra]

Skapular the Cryptbreaker 2.0 is also my favorite for this faction. All those stuff it comes with!

[@thestrongcollectors]

he is fully loaded.

[@Viewmaster618]

Gryshaa By far is one I'm after . That Figure truly unique in The Head sculpt. Then Sir Girard 3rd Manisha CinderHorn... That's my Choices . Great Video well informed...

[@thestrongcollectors]

Thank you. I was hoping folks would enjoy this series.

[@Soundwave190]

Gotta go with Skapular as my favorite here, but the Sons of the Red Star are a really solid faction, can barely go wrong with any of them.

[@thestrongcollectors]

You're totally right. This whole faction is awesome.

[@CHEMP0P]

Skapular 2 is the most impressive, but I think my personal fave might end up being Yōshanai Kari because I love the armor and overall presence.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I feel pretty similar. I want to see some more figures using that armor in the future.

[@qckslvr29]

Another great video! I think Uumbra is my favorite with Sir Girard second.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Oh interesting. first person to say Uumbra

[@qckslvr29]

Yeah, it’s definitely a different choice, something about a black unicorn is cool looking. Lol

[@kieranakhtar6425]

I like Manisha cinderhorn! I’m excited for more rogue/assassin characters in the future!

[@thestrongcollectors]

I'm excited to get a shadow elf. she'll be my first.

[@evilash529]

I would have to go with Keltus, I love his design and I’m a big fan of the MOTU homage figures.

[@thestrongcollectors]

He's for sure in my top 3 of motu tributes

[@davederck4498]

Gryshaa might be the coolest character in the entire line.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I hope we see some more votes for Gryshaa in the next all stars

[@Evi1Guppy]

I know you ranked him low but i think Mephitor is such a bizarre design and fun MOTU reference, he would really stand out on a shelf (but maybe too cartoony)

[@thestrongcollectors]

That's totally fair. I'm glad he's getting some love.

[@juliocortes6305]

Sir gerard for me. That white devil looks amazing!

[@thestrongcollectors]

Thank you. that was my first try at painting a head.

[@juliocortes6305]

@@thestrongcollectors great job

[@ishootropes]

Great videos. I like your pics. For this one, I choose Gryshaa for #1.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I'm glad Gryshaa has gotten several votes. I wonder if we'll see another figure similar any time soon.

[@jeremymatherne9062]

I think my favorite of the whole faction, is keltus, I may never own him, but he’s definitely my favorite. I enjoy pixxus, and sir girard also, probably because I have those and they have the skeleton heads. Really looking forward to scapular and very much considering uumbra

[@thestrongcollectors]

Keltus is really cool. I would for sure be grabbing him if 4H change their minds and do the motu figures as all stars.

[@marioshobbyhq]

The Black Templar LB was one of my first ML figures ever (I don-t have many anyway - I am just picking some figures here and there if I like them) but Skapular is something that is also tempting me: I will get him when he is out probably!

[@thestrongcollectors]

Do you have the black templar as is out of the box or did you do any pop and swaps?

[@marioshobbyhq]

@@thestrongcollectors essentially as it is out of the box - I like the model as it is but I painted it to a more weathered style. I got him together to the dwarf deluxe legion builder (repainted it too) because I wanted to create some D&D party: Samir would be the mage of the group :)

[@ChrisP-jq5lg]

Dude, I was kidding about your beard game. No need to shave LOL!!! I have to go with Keltuss for this faction. I added a cape from Valak that I think gives him some extraness. The Dark Templar is a close second though due to the pop-n-swappableness of it.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I prefer clean shaven for myself. I'm kind of lucky where I can just wait 4 days and i've got a decent beard if i want though.

[@foofy9000]

Easy keltuss, but literally ordered sir girard today, cant wait!

[@thestrongcollectors]

You'll love him when he gets there. Great figure.

[@jpa170478]

Skapular Version 2 is number 1 for me. I feel it could be the be best (not necessarily favourite) Mythic when released. Keltuss is my number 2, with Keltuss being in my top 3 of Mythics I don’t have but most want. His aftermarket price is of course highly prohibitive.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah I know they won't re do the motu tributes but so many people would love to get those earlier ones.

[@danielmurdock3086]

Not in hand yet but will vote for skap v2. Ordered 2 of those so i can display either way. Dark templar at the bottom I agree with but have soft spot for...Check out maxbird cape options for these they are fantastic Choose the leaders cape and put on one of the helmets in father christmas and it looks great..

[@thestrongcollectors]

Even though I have Dark Templar at the bottom he's one of the very few that I bought multiples of.

[@Beebs_Nice]

Sir girard was my favorite but now it will be the new Skapular

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think people are going to love that Skapular.

[@Josh-Mc]

Grysha is def my #1, however the Dark Templar is a close second.

[@thestrongcollectors]

good picks

[@MotuGuru75]

I really love Gryshaa, but I think that's going to change once I get Yoshanai Kari in hand.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Yeah i think Gryshaa would have ranked high for me without the new stuff.

I have 3 dark templars and was my favorite of the wave ,but i think they were in the wave before this one . Defintely getting the bear and that unicorn ,maybe cryptbreaker for that golden mask that reminds me of the guy in the sinbad movie the golden voyage .

[@thestrongcollectors]

I really like that mask for Skapular.

@@thestrongcollectors its very cool

[@jinbrosfiguresitout3816]

The Last Evil Faction 😁 Jeremy mention Mephitor armor great to go with Waltor the Mad Cosmic Suite 🤩 Anyway cool ranking this group for me resonate the new overtake the old unless I am not collecting the figure like the Dark Elf she is nice but we sometime reason our brains so we would buy the Dark Elves 😂 She and Diis Paatar has the new 2.0 bodies i thing their chest can be customize correct me if I am wrong 🤔 but pretty sure the female has Vorgga buck. 😁 In my ranking I think Scapular 1 and Sir Girard are in the upper rank 🤩My Top one would be Scapular 2 followed by Diis Paatar Scorpio Horoscope 😅 I had checked the weapons on 4H they haven't update it cus Sir Gideon was not register having the Heavensbrand 😉 Great job keep it up 🥰

Thanks for sticking around for all the bad guys. I'm working on editing the good guys episodes for next week now.

Ps I missed monkey king (& if y’all did too, avoid eBay because 4horsemans dropped MK version 2. on BBToys). But I bought a yoshani just because of his MK armor. I had fomo that bad plus he’s cool

[@thestrongcollectors]

a good rule of thumb seems to be whenever there is a figura obscura, there will be different colored variant coming down the road.

[@vadoraid2517]

@@thestrongcollectors right , & version2 always looks as awesome as the O.G. Or better

[@sdnattre]

ON this one I need to go with Skapular 2, followed closely by Sir Girard.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I think I see them as fighting side by side and being almost brothers.

[@vadoraid2517]

Scapular version 2 (& I’m displaying him with most his collection) & atlis version 2 was a cool drop, but I almost did all in ! & the bears dope. I bought the most shit from this wave . I’m jonsing bad for new ML figs. I just have 3 & a horse during Xmas BBToys had a few on sale . I hope to see skelator re released

[@thestrongcollectors]

I almost did an all in for that wave as well. Sadly Skeltor will never be made again. All the motu tribute figures are only ever done once.

@thestrongcollectors yeah being a kid of the 80's motu was in the top three cartoons.

[@Texas1911]

My favorite is Manisha

[@thestrongcollectors]

Can't wait for that one to come out. I think that will be one people end up really liking in hand.

[@angelnolasco4186]

Scapular the Cryptbreaker

[@thestrongcollectors]

Excellent pick. I'm excited to see him when he comes out.

[@Oboy3am]

It’s a tough one but skapular the cryptbreaker takes it. Im a knight and skeleton guy, and skap 2 hits for me

[@thestrongcollectors]

I feel similar but for me Sir Gerrard fits the bill a little better. but I can see both.

[@johnnytiger]

actually, the Demon blademaster, dude, that's built on the monkey king body, that would also be up there competing for first place if not for I find his story a bit lame. again, it's like they made up that story just so they can use that body.

[@thestrongcollectors]

Honestly for that one they could have given him any story and I'd be totally down to get the figure. I hope we see a lot more of this race in the future.

[@johnnytiger]

Agreed lol, I am totally down for more Asian-like races in the lineup :) @@thestrongcollectors

[@johnnytiger]

this is probably my least favorite faction, which is strange because I like assassins and roads and being Asian myself, this faction should really appeal to me, but I always find that this faction lacks purpose, it feels like they just got thrown in there to fill out spaces. Anyways, my vote goes to Diis Paatar if for nothing else just because he is very unique and I always find scorpion Seemed characters really cool.

[@thestrongcollectors]

I see what you mean. I wonder if it will get more filled out with the next round of all stars. It seems like they've been doing figures related to the last pre order so it seems like that would makes sense but maybe that was just a one off for Necronominus.

[@johnnytiger]

Yeah, I hope they get some powerhouses of their own cause so far they are probably the weakest faction IMO both in terms of strength and purpose. I guess also for me, the idea that the faction is led by a money-loving rogue skeleton just sounds kinda silly too LOL. Wouldn't Necronominous be able to just like, I dunno, wave a little finger and bring Scapular back under his...its? control? @@thestrongcollectors

[@CarlosCastillo86]

Skapular

[@thestrongcollectors]

@@thestrongcollectors I'm really hyped for Diis also but I tend to be in the minority with my favorites.
