For this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re taking a look at the Four Horsemen Studios Graveyard Skeletons!
These figures are technically not Mythic Legions, and also not labeled as Figura Obscura. This 4-pack set was first offered as a timed-edition preorder in October 2024. With a shipping date of early this year, I guess that makes them eligible for my top ten action figures of 2025 list.
The Graveyard Skeletons use the same sculpt, first seen on the Mythic Legions Maxillus the Harvester figure and initially delivered to collectors with the Skeleton Legion Builder 2 figure. A decade into the line, this Legion Builder would be the first time we got a full-fledged skeleton without the armor and boots seen in previous skeletal releases.
While Maxillus utilized the standard, yellowed, bone color, and the Skeleton Legion Builder 2 came in more of a bleached bone look, this new figure is painted in a new “ashen gray” shade for its bones and nearly every other item in the set.
The set comes with four identical skeleton figures and a good amount of accessories to make them all unique. This includes two standard shields, spears, and swords painted gray, an extra pair of feet, six extra pairs of hands, and additional head options. On top of the four skeleton heads, you get a jack-o-lantern pumpkin head, two skull masks that fit onto the standard skulls, and a vampire skull.
When side-by-side with other Mythic Legions figures, it may seem like these skeletons are oversized as an actual interior skeleton of a 1/12 scale action figure, but the larger bones just replace the limbs and other body parts in my mind, just as the skulls have replaced full-sized heads in this line for the past decade.
