legionscon 2pack

The Four Horsemen have updated with a look at their Mythic Legions – Furious Four LegionsCon Exclusives Set. The set is a 2-pack that will include four head sculpts, swap out hands, and a nice weapons assortment. It will only be available on the second day of LegionsCon, which takes place in Seacaucas, New Jersey from November 5-6. For those who miss out on the 2-pack, they will eventually see individual releases in the future. Check out some info below. See the full update via SourceHorsemen.com, and check out the photos after the jump.

“The ”Furious Four” set is a 2-pack which will include two figure bodies and 4 distinct heads, allowing you to create some special characters. These characters include Lord Bushotee the Alpha, Pelvicus, Peteorionn, and Uuwitt – each one based loosely on the members of the MWIGTKM podcast. Those guys are longtime supporters of Four Horsemen Studios, so it was fun to create these tributes to that crew (fair warning – their podcast is not for the easily offended and contains lots of language – listen at your own peril). The body parts on these figures all use the same color scheme, and those colors are also shared with the Fury Clan Orc, encouraging fans to mix and match these parts to create some new and unique looks!

In addition to the heads that are part of this set’s main characters, the version offered at LegionsCon will also include two pieces not available in the standard editions – a Fury Clan Jaguallian head and tail! Those parts will be included in the show version release, and that entire set will come in special packaging unique to LegionsCon (complete with brand new art by Nate Baertsch!). So in the LegionsCon set, you get 2 bodies, 5 heads, 2 tails, 2 swords, a spear, a shield, a staff, 3 sets of feet, 2 red belts, and 2 sets of shoulder pauldrons. You can see this breakdown of parts below (note that the cat tail is not shown in the image).”

Legends of Dragonore Wave 1

After a bit of a hiccup, Formo Toys is ready to share their upcoming Masters of the Universe style toy line. Originally titled Lords of Power, and meant to create figures based on Mark Taylor’s original MOTU designs, the series has been rebranded. Now known as Legends of Dragonore, the upcoming figures are now inspired by the aesthetic of Masters of the Universe without using designs that could potentially cause IP infringement issues. Here’s a bit of info on the line:

This is a new and exciting line of 5.5” action figures designed to look like those found in the toy isles and toy chests of the 1980s. When action figures were simpler… yet full of creativity and fun!​

The figures have been conceived and designed by Emiliano Santalucia and modeled by Peer Brauner.

Each action figure stands 5.5”, has six points of articulation and it is made of ABS and PVC plastic. The figures feature multiple pop-apart joints that ​​allow for simple mix-and-match customizing, and with the expansion of the line, will expand to a world of new possibilities, characters, and creatures. Each figure has up to ten modular joints. The joints are fully compatible with similar vintage modular figures. Most figures come with removable armor and one or more accessories.

The first wave  is entitled The Beginning and will include six figures. Each of the first 6 figures in the line also comes with one or more pieces of our first Divine Armor of Power™ figure. By collecting the entire wave, customers will be able to put together this special figure not available separately. The Divine Armor of Power™ figure is completely compatible with the other figures’ joints.

Figures come packaged in retro full-color blister cards.

We’re still waiting on pre-order details. For now, you can check out the first photo of the figures together by clicking the banner image above.

UL Czarface W1 hero2 2048 2048x2048

Super7 have dropped another music industry themed Ultimates figure today – Czarface!  The group Czarface is comprised of hip hop artists Esoteric, 7L and Inspectah Deck from Wu-Tang Clan.  They’ve been dropping albums since 2013, with a heavy focus on sample based beats (think 90s+) and lots of nerd / pop culture references sprinkled in.  For those that know me once I stumbled into them I’ve been rocking them constantly, always in rotation.   If you dig rap from the golden era and haven’t checked them yet, I highly suggest giving them a spin.

Part of the group’s gimmick is their mascot, also called Czarface, which is featured heavily on their album covers and on-album as a character.  He’s had some Re-Action versions before, but now he’s coming in full on Ultimates scale.   Pre-Orders are live now at Super7 and around the web.  Hit our sponsors below to snag him or read on to check the full details and pics!

Czarface ULTIMATES! Wave 1 – Czarface

Superhero? Supergroup? Super…what? On Earth as we know it, Czarface is a hip-hop juggernaut formed by Esoteric, 7L, Inspectah Deck, and artist Lamour Supreme. On Earth 808, in the war-torn streets of Czarlem specifically, Czarface is a champion to the righteous, menace to the corrupt, and a villain’s worst nightmare. Although Czarface has almost always chosen logic, reason, and language over sheer brutality, he has mastered 67 unarmed fighting systems, ranging from Krav Maga to strong style Puroresu and maintained a deadly grip on 34 weapon-based forms of combat. In crime-fighting and street justice, Czarface is considered a savant in both conflict de-escalation and lethal warfare techniques. Both incarnations of the chrome crusader strive for peace, justice, and equality.

Ninja Shadow and Blood Kickstarter 001

If you have been collecting action figures, busts, or statues, for the last decade or so, chances are that you have a few characters sculpted by Paul Harding. He has worked with all the major companies on a variety of collectibles. Those include Marvel Legends, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, NECA Ultimate Figures, and more. Paul has launched a Kickstarter with his company, Future Cyborg, featuring some excellent looking retro inspired action figure. Ninja: Shadow & Blood is a new Kenner inspired 3.75″ scale Ninja figure line. The figure have 6 points of articulation, and will come with an assortment of weapons and accessories, on retro inspired card backs. There are currently 2 varieties available, with a slew of unlockable Ninja Clans planned as the Kickstarter progresses.

“Hi! I’m Paul Harding from Future Cyborg Figures. I’ve made action figures and statues for the biggest names in the toy business including Toybiz and Hasbro Marvel Legends, DC Direct, NECA Toys, GI Joe, Diamond Select, Gentle Giant, Sideshow, and many more. As a lifelong collector I’ve always looked back to the days of retro figures and wondered why I barely had any ninjas to play with. It seemed like we needed significantly more Kenner style 3.75″ scale ninja figures than what we were offered. Now, as a veteran toy sculptor of nearly two decades, I’ve decided to do something about it. This is a project made for Kenner fans, vintage toy collectors, ninja lovers, and people who’ve always wanted to army-build clans of little retro-styled martial artists. You have the opportunity to take it way back to the heyday of action figures and purchase entire clans of ninja. Army-build your way to total domination!”

The Kickstarter is looking for a total of $45,000. Check out the Ninja: Shadow & Blood Kickstarter Page to back the project. You can see some photos after the jump.
