I was surprised to see the dragon head and tail for sale for $10. I thought they were only going to come with the figure for some reason. Jumped all over that as I already have a Kragnarr.
Was also happy to see the second set of snake heads with the blue guy spacesuit figure. I didn't think that was a package, just the less clothed version.
Debated the all-in too. That's a pretty great deal but I have most of the figures already.
Heads and body pack sales like this seem like a no-brainer for 4H figures. I'm ready for some Mythic sets. I gotta believe they're working on a goblin right now. I imagine there's still a lot of Swiggs in the warehouse.
I like the option to just buy some heads because their head sculpts are often gorgeous and are frequently usable with other lines as well.
I absolutely hope they offer up more inexpensive head packs both in this line and in Mythic in the future as there are some Mythic Legion head sculpts I adore but I am frankly over their body system.
Now I dream of a day where Mezco would follow suit. They have some utterly gorgeous head sculpts in their 1/12 line but I loathe everything they do from the neck down so much.
If they did Mythic sets like this they would get me EVERY time, especially since they're so readily modular between Cosmic and Mythic. I'd buy spare heads for figures I don't even HAVE yet. It's such a no brainer. I hope they keep doing this. My only disappointment this time is I already love both of the existing Gray heads so I don't need more, and and I'm not a huge fan of the bug heads. If they'd done more that would fit nicely on the TUSCC armor though they could've easily gotten me for 5-6 packs.
So... even after all these great pictures showing off the various TU5CC Armor figures I was like "yeah, I'm OK not having any of those..."
And then they go and drop this reveal for the retailer exclusive... a TU5CC Armor homage to the MOTU Horde Trooper... sonnuva... going to have to grab at least two of those. They always know how to get me these damn 4 Horsemen.

I do wish that dude came with some sort of humanoid head, but it's a great homage. Maybe I'll pop an orc head on the armor.
I doubt I'll ever pick up any of the Cosmic stuff, but the colors look great. They know how to make an enticing figure.

I mean... Mattel included an Orc head with the Horde Trooper they just released ... so company crossover synergy could be at play...
The Horsemen are always at their best when working off someone else’s color pallet, their homage figures are always the high point of a wave.
I’ll need at least one of these Horde Troopers for my Mythic MotU shelf, but the colors are so good, maybe I need more to be just a generic space guy
That color pallet really pops on that figure! Definitely need to get one. And good call on an Orc head. A vampire head might work too.
@panthercult That was exactly who what I was thinking of!
Y'know, I've had the green orc head from the Battle Cat homage figure for YEARS. It'd be kind of fitting to use an orc head from another MOTU homage that I'll never use (because why would I not keep the Cringer head on him!) on another homage.
Dragging my feet on buying the head packs because I wasn't sure if I wanted to order the bodies with the heads or not and when I finally decided, the dragonfolk body and head set is sold out! Decided I'm just getting the ladies alt heads because I'll probably use them on Mythic bucks instead and the complete shirtless snakeman because that blue POPS. For ten bucks I'm gonna buy the orange dragon head and tail and hope I find a used Kraggnar later to pop it onto. If I never fine one that's okay, I won't lose sleep on a ten dollar bum purchase.
The five-figure set is a pretty good deal, but I don't need another bug alien. If it included any other figure I'd pick up the full set instead.
I preordered a combo pack of the blue snake heads and the bare body of Thygar, and the orange dragon head.
I then got another Kraggnar off BBTS since that combo on the 4H store was sold out.
I think I'm going to do the same thing. Did they say how soon these would ship after the preorder window? Wondering if I'll be sitting on a Kraggnar in the box for two years before the parts get here.

My current Kraggnar has 4 arms, so the second can be a 2 armed variant of the species until those parts arrive.
@salemcrow Yeah, reckon the smart thing is to get the spare now before the parts ship since he may become scarce by then. I give BBTS a ton of business so I don't feel bad finding one for 15 bucks cheaper on eBay this afternoon. He can hang out as Kraggnar's brother til the dragon head and tail ship.
