So as someone who was out of the loop on this, they did deliver on the figures at some points or those still pending? I remember wanting the elves, but I just never did anything about it.

I may be mistaken, but I assumed the War of the Aetherblade deluxe packs (M/F elf, M/F orcs, and the Attila/Gorgo set) were from this kickstarter campaign and have ben listed on BBTS for a long time (I think they're sold out maybe)? But I got both orcs and Attila unboxed and used on eBay for less than retail.

But I remember a criticism of their forums back in the day was that a lot of criticisms got deleted and also shouted down. It wouldn't surprise me if anyone with a negative opinion on their socials just knows better at this point than to even bother. Your comment is either going to get deleted, or cause you to get dogpiled by 50 sycophants hoping someone at 4H HQ will notice them and pat their head like a good little boy.

I was fairly active back on their old forums, and I don't recall any moderation. Though, it was constantly crashing, so stuff often disappeared. I freely criticized their dumb decisions back then (like the stupid situation around the trading cards and comic from the first Kickstarter), and the 4H actually corrected a lot of complaints from customers back then.

It was the move to facebook and Jeremy joining the company that really changed things.

Yes, figures were delivered. It was fairly obvious even during the campaign that people were primarily backing for them, not the game.

EDIT: Also, really obvious back then that without the money that would be used to manufacture the figures, there was no way that a decent game could come out from the remaining funds.

I might be conflating the forums with FB. Apologies for misleading anyone. I have the 'time means nothing' style of ADHD and this could have all happened a week ago or six years ago. Also, I was never a member so the criticisms I'm recalling are definitely second-hand at best.
 
I was active on the 4H forum but much less so on Facebook, the interface for which I find harder to use.

Loved at least getting Gorgo v2 and Attila V2, although now they really need upgrades themselves now. They are outdated. The Valiant Knight body has advanced the knight builds so much since these two came out. And I feel like they are such important characters. I still feel like Gideon and Gorgo are the main characters, based on the original display the 4H had.

You all may recall that I ordered a kit from Uncle Jim Workshop to fill the Dark Souls-sized hole in my video game collection.

My order from Uncle Jim arrived today, and I somehow dodged President T's middle-class tax increase tariffs.

Well, I totally misunderstood what Uncle Jim was offering. I thought his kit included a resin-cast 2.0 body. Instead, I have parts but no body. What's the cheapest option to get a silver or black 2.0 body?

My lack of reading comprehension aside, everything I bought is really nice. The paint detailing and sculpt work are impressive across the board.
 
Best silver body you're going to get is the just-released Silver Knight for a very reasonable $35. BBTS has him as a preorder but he should be in stock any day now. And I wouldn't wait around. A few of the smaller Mythic retailers are already sold out.
 
Option 1: Grab Lady Avarona from BBTS for $37 and a male elf torso from eBay for $12-$20. She has the spiky "evil" forearms and shins and feet, but you'd be replacing all of her feminine parts with the resin Souls parts. You might have to paint the male elf torso black or silver, depending on which torso you buy.
Option 2: If you really want the rounded "heroic" forearms and shins and feet, grab the Male Elf Deluxe Legion Builder from BBTS for $75 and repaint his metallic green torso and forearms black or silver.

These are great options, and you could also grab one of the wizards, Samir Scrollwarder or Arrizak. Both have a standard 2.0 armored body under the robes (which can be removed) and they're both $37 on BBTS.

I think the body under Samir Scrollwarer is brown/bronze, and Arrizak has a black body, but they don't have armored arms (so it does depend if you need fully armored arms/forearms). If you watch a couple of reviews on Youtube, then you'll get an idea of whether it fits what you need.

The newer silver knight is great, but it's on a 1.0 body, so it might not fit the elite knight custom parts that you have.
 
Thank you all for the input. The wizards crossed my mind because I own them both, but the unarmored upper arms and hands killed that dream. I'd like to avoid painting—at least outside of a wash or dry brush—if I can help it.

I snatched up a Silver Knight at BBTS. I'm hoping the gear I bought will fit it, but worst case, I either jury-rig it or buy a 2.0 body in the future and wind up with two Souls-like figures. The main Souls-like customizer on Reddit is always using the Valiant Knight body, so the Silver Knight should serve the same purpose (I believe it's essentially the same body).

He's also done some incredible work using the Jacob Marley body. Once they re-release that body in a neutral color scheme, I'll have to grab one for a Bloodborne custom.

Am I crazy or is Big Bad selling the Otho and Urzokk 2.0’s with no mark up? Like they were $55 on the Horsemen’s site, right?!
 
I don't have IG any longer, but it looks like there's a 2 pack of zombies and a separate soft goods set for preorder coming.
Also a skeleton blind box in neon colors, as well as an all black skeleton. You can get a CASE of 12 to get all the colors and garauntee of the black one for $239.88.
No price on the zombies that my friend shared yet.
 
I need you guys to not judge me for this, but I pre-ordered Otho. Just had to. The color scheme, the swords; he just looks really nice and I feel like I gotta try a current-gen 4H figure despite my problems with them as a company and their previous products.
