Let’s go to the archives this #FourHorsemenFriday. Today, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Wal-torr the Mad!
This skeleton is named after Walter, an admin from the Mythic Legions Cabal Facebook group. I will definitely be revisiting this figure later on as he was absolutely an early contender for the top figure of the year (yes, I know the con version actually came out the year before)…

Now, on this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re noticing the namesake of the Necronominus wave: behold, the Mythic Legions Necronominus!
Necronominus is the final piece of The Dark Four, and in Mythic Legions canon, the most powerful of the evil gods. Mythos of this toy line aside, the characters and designs have become increasingly detailed, complicated, and complex over the 10 years of the brand. The figure comes with multiple hand options and layers of removable, patterned soft goods to get exactly your desired look.
If you thought Maxillius or a bone horse had a lot going on, this skeleton god really catches your eye with his massive bone wings. Also, just because Maxillius brought a scythe to this wave, it has nothing on the mighty Godrazor. Necronominus’ weapon of choice takes an oversized scythe and bumps it up a notch. It adds a small Necronominus ornament at the top that, you guessed it, also wields a small scythe. In-scythe-tion… or something like that.😛

Also on this #FourHorsemenFriday from the archives, we’ve got a Mythic Legions Shadow Orc Grunt Legion Builder!
Well, actually, there are two shadow orcs pictured here next to the horse, but one is well hidden behind a regular green orc. I initially passed on this guy, but later picked him up for a little variety with my orc troops.

Let’s go to the archives this #FourHorsemenFriday. Today, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Deluxe Dwarf Legion Builder!
Sporting some new weapons and a horned helm, I appreciate the look of this gobbo’s fat froggy face. It reminds me more of goblins from the animated Rankin/Bass Hobbit film from 1977.

Finally, on this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re looking at the herald of the Necronominus wave: the Mythic Legions Maxillius the Harvester!
Maxillius may appear to be just a fancy grim reaper who provides a fresh supply of bodies to his master Necronominus, who can then expand his armies by raising the dead… because that’s what he is.😄
This is the fully decked out character shown in the picture, complete with meat-on-bone wings, a bone necklace thing, and an hourglass. If you remove all that, he still has his scythe to portray a more common grim reaper look. If you remove the cloak, you get a well-articulated skeleton with optional pointing hands and a freaky alternate skull with no eye sockets.

Also on this #FourHorsemenFriday from the archives, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Deluxe Dwarf Legion Builder!
This dwarf is ready for business, taking on a whole horde of goblins all by himself at the moment.

For this #FourHorsemenFriday from the archives, we’ve got the one last look (for now) at the Poxxus wave with the Mythic Legions Poxxus Weapons Pack!
Samir Scrollwarder had to recruit an Unamed One from another toy dimension to help carry all these accessories! On top of additional potions, scrolls, tomes, a bird skull, bones, and a belt to hold them all, the set also comes with several weapons cast in different colors that really add more depth to the line.
This practice has been standard with action figures for decades and has been on my radar since Masters of the Universe released their “Weapons Pak” of alternate colored accessories around 40 years ago.😁👍

On this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re back to the Necronominus wave, and we’re gonna take a look at the Mythic Legions Conabus!
Conabus is the horrific skeletal steed of Necronominus, who also somehow helps raise the dead. Unlike Bishop, this terrifying bone horse definitely fits in with the rest of the Necronominus wave. Also, following Bishop, this was a must open for my daughter with horses before people.
Conabus does not come with any additional heads or accessories not seen here, but he really doesn’t need them as with just one look at this skeleton horse, and you can figure out what it’s all about.

Also on this #FourHorsemenFriday from the archives, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Thraice Wraithhailer!
Thraice is one more magic-wielder that I was pumped to have in hand. She comes with a soft-goods shiny cloak, extra hands, an alternate head (slightly different hair), and a couple of good-looking translucent magic effects.

For this #FourHorsemenFriday from the archives, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Tharnog!
This giant orc shaman has a lot going on. It includes an alternate head, soft goods, some new magic effects, antlers, and a bunch of new skulls. Fun stuff.

Also, on this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Samir Scrollwarder !
This is one release I was really looking forward to having in hand the past few years as I felt the line was lacking wizards and other magic users. The Four Horsemen really nailed it with this powerful guy who comes loaded with soft goods and accessories!

Believe it or not, on this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re gonna take a look at the Mythic Legions Bishop!
Given a brief bio about how Bishop was born lame in the Heavensbrand family stables and was set to be put down until a young Gideon prayed otherwise and the horse was miraculously healed, I don’t think there is a Mythic Legions character that has received that much heart in their backstory. This beautiful steed doesn’t feel like he belongs with the rest of the Necronominus wave, giving off an aura of elegance rather than creepiness. When our preorder arrived after a 26-month waiting period, this was the figure my equestrian-minded daughter had to open first.
While this line has already released a handful of horses, Bishop is the first one to arrive with multiple armor options, including the well-received tasseled soft goods. He also comes with a full-sized lance (for Gideon or whomever wants to take up jousting), an additional mane, and a “dead” head. Ah, there’s the creepiness.

Good morning! On this #FourHorsemenFriday from the archives, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Poxxus!
This spiteful Lich God is creepy and features an outstanding design and paint job. He comes with two different bows and a pair of magic effects for the arrows. There is also a quiver and four sets of hands to hold things in just the right way.

Finally, on this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Kalizirr!
Somehow, during the two years between ordering and receiving the figure, I’d forgotten just how oversized this blue genie figure was going to be in a display with other 1/12 scale figures.
With his magic effects, a magic lamp, and a huge scimitar, he certainly has a big magic presence on the shelf.

Also on this #FourHorsemenFriday from the archives, we’ve got the Mythic Legions Aracagorr!
This hulking Dragosyr is a massive presence on the toy shelf complete with soft goods, a flaming sword, and an iridescent sheen on his scales.
