I just got a tracking number for the Zaxxius wave! I only ordered Kalian Shunn so I figured I'd be waiting until June, but I'm happy to be surprised.
Finally! The two Cosmic Legions MotU tributes are on their way, arriving today!
Kalian Shunn and Opr-a-tiv will be here this weekend. Nice!
Thwipp!
I got my Kalian a couple of days ago and she's great. Excellent paint apps, as usual, and her ankle joints seem pretty strong, which is not always the case with 2.0 figures. She looks right at home with my other Cosmic ladies.
Kalian is like a mash up of the pieces I like from Cosmic Legions. The scientist helmet included is sweet. She has a Mandalorian vibe to me.
Thwipp!
4H announced on Instagram that their approved retail partners will be running a 20% off sale on all of their in-stock Cosmic figures to clear out some of their standing inventory. They also implied that they'll reveal a new wave at some point in the next couple of months. In '22 and '23, they revealed their new Cosmic waves in the spring so I was beginning to wonder when we'd see a new wave this year.

I wonder how this line is doing for 4H. I have most of the first three waves along with Wal-Tor and while I generally like what I have received, I haven't been terribly impressed with the wave 2 and 3 offerings.
There was a lot of good in the first wave — Slogg, Kraggnar, Spexxian Guard and Zeerian Spyre — were personal highlights. Not a lot from the second and third waves has stood out for me other than Noveunn Leen, who might be my favorite of the line right now.
The TU5CC guys, who I was pretty excited about when the line was announced, look really good but I think the armor impacts their articulation a bit too much. Same with Sskur'ge who I was really looking forward to until I got ML's Aracagorr and discovered his articulation limitations, particularly with the head.
I am really looking forward to several figures in the next wave
Yeah... when they announced the first wave I was excited and preordered several... by the time it got to me I had lost all enthusiasm and honestly no longer even wanted them. Unfortunately - they are large and heavy and thus are expensive to ship and so are NOT easy to unload on the secondary market (BBTS running a sale on them currently doesn't help, certainly).
There just isn't the same desire for this line as there is for Mythic Legions.
In fairness to Cosmic Legions, recent waves of Mythic Legions aren't as easy to unload as they used to be either. Their availability at BBTS and other online stores has really done a number on the ML secondary market — for recent waves, that is.
Back in December when BBTS had the last Cosmic Legions sale I really wanted to jump in on the line. I kept adding some to my cart but it was almost Christmas and I didn't need to spend that much on myself.
Today as soon as the sale was announced I jumped in and ordered one of everything that BBTS had in stock. I really love the look of all of these and Sci Fi is much more my thing than Fantasy so I'm doing this and not Mythic Legions.
Now to clear a shelf or two somewhere...
I've lost a ton of steam for this line as well. I don't have a ton of what's been released, but am looking to sell most of what I do have on eBay soon I think, even if they're at a loss. Zeeri is a great figure, and I love the orange waltor Tusk redeco, but most of it is so similar or reuse, and the price is too high for "huh, that's cool" and not "huh, I need that."
I've got the big blue power armor guy and the trenchcoat robo head lady from the last wave shown on pre-order, otherwise, nothing really exciting me about Cosmic these days.
This reveal today is a big yawn for me. I'm still pretty game for the upcoming Mythic stuff, but I don't think I'll be pre-ordering anything else from Cosmic after this, and just waiting for sales.
I’m the opposite as this line has replaced Mythic Legions for me.
This line keeps sucking me in. I got a couple from the latest wave that just came out, and then another catches my eye, and then another, and I suddenly have almost the entire wave. The sale helped too. There could definitely be a lot more variety to this line, especially with the spacesuits, but I feel like they’re on the right track like they were with Mythic. Hopefully they can make it last.
I'm so excited to get my big box of legions from the sale. The only 4 Horsemen figures I have are the Figura Obscura's and they are just so cool. It always feels special to receive one so I hope some of that translates into the cosmic legions when they get here.
