For this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re taking a look at the Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions Skeleton Raider!
When the Mythic Legions All Stars 6 wave went up for preorder in the spring of 2023, it offered a few reissues of older figures as determined by a fan vote, as well as some new knights, a horse, new belts, heads, and wings. The thing that probably got me the most excited, though, was some new skeletons, including this first full-on skeleton legion builder. Though this character is named with a bio according to the Mythic Legions lore, they’re just army builders to me.
Yes, some generic skeleton warriors had already been included in the line since the first wave. However, this is the first time you could build out your army of the dead with the fully exposed rib cages and bone feet. Technically, the Maxillus the Harvester figure could be stripped down for this look. However, I prefer this pack-out of heads and accessories. In fact, when this wave was delivered 25 months later this past summer, the Raider was the first figure I opened.
The Skeleton Raider comes with an alternate gladiator-style helmet that I have yet to use, favoring this new skeleton raider head, as my previous skull heads lacked the Viking-style helmet. He also comes with four sets of interchangeable hands, armor pieces, including forearm guards that often slip off the bony arms, a khopesh sword, a mace, a spear, and a wooden shield.
In the end, it’s a great army builder that will look good in battle against Mythic Legions and many other 1/12 scale action figure lines.
