Four Horsemen Studios - Mythic Legions

I'm getting into soft-core pop-and-swap customs for Mythics. I generally don't like female characters in this world and prefer to collect male. But I've wound up accumulating several female characters from All-Ins.

Is it correct to say that the only thing that makes a female figure a female is her head and torso? Every other part would be compatible with 2.0 figures such as male goblins, male elves, 2.0 vampires, and 2.0 skeletons? Just the heads being female and the torsos having breasts, all else is the same, right?

Do any of the approved retailers not charge sales tax for out-of-state shipments? I'm interested in army building some of these retailer appreciation wave figures but they're so expensive compared to direct pricing, and add on sales tax and it's more than it's worth to me.

That's all correct. There's also a particular skirt/fauld that gives the 2.0 figures rounder, more feminine hips so that might look a little odd on a male figure, but otherwise it's just the torso and head that make them female.

I want to create my own centaur characters.  Is it possible to do so by swapping the head and neck of the regular horse with the 1.0 male torso? 

The in-stock sale went very smoothly for me. Hope everybody had good luck. So many knights available, including the Valiant Knight, so this was a great sale for me. 

@maczero Not sure about that. Centaurs use the brute scale torso. But there is a centaur character already. You could just swap the human heads on that one.

The Horsemen's Instagram post announcing the sale is live is filled with people having shipping address issues, but I just impulsively bought the Valiant Knight without any problems. My shipping address is saved in their system and pre-populated to my order so I wonder if that was the difference?

@maczero you need an adapter to put a 1.0 body onto the Horsie’s neck peg, so far that piece is only available with the actual centaur figure. But if you use it you can put any 1.0 or brute scale torso on the pony you want.

@runestonecowboy I had that issue when I ordered Red Death, for some reason the address I had on file and shipped all my orders to was registering as “invalid” and refused to let me complete my order, so I shipped it to my parents’ house instead. Then it just fixed itself because when I ordered the Nobel Bear wave, Marley, and these reinforcements it accepted my regular address no problem.

@runestonecowboy
It wouldn't let me buy The Unknown One. I could buy other items, but that one said it couldn't ship to my address.

I got a Gold Knight Legion Builder and Vargg. I missed out on Vargg the first time, glad I got it. Vorgus 2 and the Unknown are tempting.

That's a bit of a bummer, I had to work until noon.  I only wanted Vorgus V2 & a Valiant Knight, but the knight is sold out.  Oh well, still have my Poxxus shipment to look forward to!

Yeah, I just found out my idea isn't going to work with the standard horse after I broke apart my Phobus.  Bit the bullet and just ordered the official centaur.  

The new reinforcement wave with gold knight and vampire phalanx… is this exclusive to 4H Store? 

I want the black and white Templar and the Vampire guy but even at the $26 with Shipping it’s $70. So if BBTS is going to get to sell these they will have to be $35 each so they don’t undercut 4H with their $4 ship rate or POL option.

I don’t know. I may just hold out for the Figura Obscura later this Spring. This figures look great but basic shipping being what it is currently, I’m going to just pass for now. Valiant knight would have been worth paying $42 for one with tax and shipping but I like sleep apparently and missed that early window.

Thwipp!

I had to teach a writing class this morning and completely forgot about the in-stock sale but see there's some stuff left. Mostly I just want bodies for the black panther, dwarf, and human woman heads (maybe the demon too) from that six pack of unmasked heads they released a while back. They still had the shadow orc army builder left, decided to take a flyer on one of those to see if the blacks match up close enough to use that panther head. 26 bucks is about as good as one can get for Legions. Picked up a cavern dwarf too for the dwarf head. Kinda bummed there were no female bodies in this in-stock but I'm sure one will pop up eventually. 

I've been trying to buy fewer and fewer of these figures, but I'm a sucker for the sylvan figures... tacked on a Silverhorn Sentry on a whim, too. Probably more than I wanted to spend but three figures for an in-stock sale (and having them not sold out already at 2 EST), eh, why not. 

I managed to get everything that I wanted, which was a relief: 

Valiant Knight

Vampire Phalanx

Relic Guard Knight

Golden Knight

Blood Knight 2.0

Demistros

Wal-tor (Mythic Legions)

Shadow Orc
