MORE LEGIONS: Mythic Legions’ Graveyard Skeletons

SKELETONS ARE USEFUL EVERYWHERE DAMMIT!Probably six months ago, before the horse, before the spaceman, before the armored skellington, before [NAME REDACTED] and [OTHER NAME REDACTED], before I’d dipped a toe, then a foot, then up to the goddamned knew in Four Horsemen shit,  apreorder went up for a four-pack of Graveyard Skeletons, and they spoke to me. They called to me. But there were some issues finding the preorder and the impulse kind of passed and I poked at that tooth a couple more times but never bit.

Flash-forwrd to March. I have a horse. I have an armored skellington. And the Graveyard Skeletons are shipping, and I’m seeing people taking pictures of them, and they look so good, and I’m kicking myself for not pulling the tigger back in my younger, more innocent days.

And then an online store got them in stock for list price and free shipping. And it was an INSTAYOINK. So here they are, the Graveyard Skeletons, in some of their configureations.

Here’s the deal. I have three skeletons. One Fwoosh Yokai, two Golden Axe. Those are WAAY more articulated than these. Double  elbows and knees, tons of range elsewhere, lots of torso crunch and ark, the whole thing. The Graveyard Skeletons don’t move like that. Four Horsemen doesn’t do double elbows and knees. Even the torsos are surprisingly limited in range.

But what they are is stocky and sturdy. ALl my other skeletons feel thin and fragile. They’re more like “let’s take all the meat off a normal figure and see what’s left”. The Graveyard Skeletons are more “what if a normal figure, but bones?” Also they’re more white/gray rather than yellow/brown. So that’s why I need, um, eight skeletons in the collection. Really.

For mixemups, the set also comes with one set of Vampire Skeleton head and feet, two Skull Masks so that skeletons can wear skulls on their skulls, two swords, two shields, and two spears, plus two sets of three different pairs of hands. All incredibly reasonable for a hundred bucks price poitn, especially by Mythic Legions standards.

And when you have four black and white skeletons, and you’re old, you think of the Disney Skeleton Dance cartoon, so that’s what i did. Didn’t have to draw in shadows, woooo!
