This #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re rising up to take a look at the Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions Thorasis the First Risen!
The Mythic Legions All Stars 6 wave, available for preorder in spring 2023, reissued several older figures and introduced new knights, a horse, additional belts, heads, wings, and multiple new skeletons. In addition to the skeleton legion builders and the display options provided by Skalli Bonesplitter, this wave featured a new skeleton soldier equipped with soft goods clothing and a cloth banner.
According to the backstory, Thorasis is the first of the Death forces to return from banishment. As Necronominus’s eldest child, he assumes command of his father’s undead army and facilitates the return of his sister Morgolyth from banishment. While I have not been particularly interested in the Morgolyth character or figure, I appreciate how this biography connects to earlier skeleton characters in the Mythic Legions line.
Waiting 25 months for this figure was totally worth it. I don’t even mind that there isn’t a second head, since there’s so much included. Thorasis comes with extra armor pieces, two belts, extra bone feet, four sets of hands, both short and long pikes for the banner, and a big two-handed zweihänder sword. I usually pass on oversized shields, but the Necronominus emblem looks great in person. The cloth banner and wired cape are awesome extras to get straight from The Four Horsemen, so you don’t need a third party to make the figure feel complete.
Overall, Thorasis is an impressive figure that effectively combines soft goods with sculpted plastic elements. I had no issues posing the figure or swapping parts immediately upon unboxing, and I am pleased to include it in my collection. This figure is a strong contender for my 2025 top-ten action figure list.
