Opened Strongheart the other day. And then finally got around to opening Warduke as well. Strongheart comes with something like 8 hands, and none of them are vertical hinged. Good to hear they've finally come around to including them for future figures, though.
They didn't show anything at NYCC, right? Nothing new I mean?
Just watched the Fwoosh interview with NECA. I love the redesigns they have done with the figures so far. The North lord, Ogre King stuff was concerning. I hope they find a way to bring those out IMHO they had the best designs next to Stronheart and Warduke. Even if they were only slightly larger like Grimsword I would be ok with that.Â
I finally got Strongheart and Zarak. I cancelled my EE order (since they seem to be having problems getting product) and ordered from a small east coast comic shop and toy store. These guys are awesome! I'm not a huge fan of Strongheart's face (even though it's completely accurate), but he looks perfect with the face guard down. And Zarak is all kinds of character wrapped up in a small package. Excellent accessories all around.Â
I have to say, this is really one of my favorite lines right now. I hope they go far with this!
Â
I gave Warduke a fur skirt thing (what is that called?) and customized a Mythic Legions horse for him.
I haven't seen any of these in store. I need to get on ordering some ASAP. I have a McFarlane Horse that should work well.
Â
@misterskeezler That looks really awesome man, great work!!
I wish that Zarak had come with an open-mouthed head sculpt, similar to how he looks on his box art. It's only a subtle difference to his default head but it just looks that little bit more creepy and evil to me, which is very fitting with the 'Evil Action Figure' slant that roughly half of the figures in this line are going for.
Â
Also, I noticed that the Zarak product pictures on my box have his skin showing as a really deep leafy green colour, but my actual figure has a much paler, dull light green for his skin colour. Is that the same for everyone elses box? Maybe NECA decided to change his skin tone closer to release? I do prefer the skin colour on the figure I think.
Got gifted Strongheart over the weekend; Grodd darn, what an awesome figure! First ever NECA figure and it won't be the last.
Â
This is my new line to collect now, which is good since I'm not getting anything anymore. 🤣 Â
Elkhorn comes with his whole traveling gear, which is great. The Heartstone!Â
Man...I'm starving for some news on this line. Elkhorn comes out supposedly this month (though I'm sure he'll be delayed), but we haven't heard anything beyond that. Has anyone heard any rumors on next figures? These are so much better than the newly announced Super7 D&D figures, so I'm hoping it'll continue.
You're not the only one.Â
Â
I got Strongheart as a gift and it's so awesome that I ordered Grimsword right away.
Â
I'll get Warduke when I get Elkhorn; I'll wait for a nice sale price for Zarak. 🤣Â Hoping for a Melf/Peralay reveal so I can get him as a pair.
Just received Elkhorn today, and holy shit this guy is awesome! I can't believe how much stuff he comes with, and how nicely painted everything is. The only gripe I have (and this is nothing new) is the lack of a vertical hinge for any of the wrists, but he is pretty much absolutely perfect. I really hope this line continues!
I had to cancel my preorder with Target because it got backordered and never went anywhere.Â
If I see him in store, I'll likely grab him, but no ordering him online right now.

I saw a review online that mentioned about his backpack not attaching very easily to the horizontal strap on his back and that attempting to attach it risks breaking the strap off his body if you aren't super careful. Have you experienced anything like that with yours?
