Four Horsemen Scarabus

[kurdt_the_goat]

Anyone else interested in this? I must admit, i didn't even know of the Four Horsemen a couple of months ago, but a newfound love for their Masters of the Universe toys has got me excited for this! They're doing a series of features on their website (http://www.fourhorsemen.biz/) in the lead up to production.. the articulation looks exceptional!

If i understand correctly, there will be 10 versions of the figure in different colour schemes/with different heads.... and different faceplates included?... already i'm having a hard time deciding which one i like the most!

Wicked. Love the Four Horsemen, even I'd buy these.

[Sky Shadow]

I plan on getting a few of the variants - the Anubis (http://www.actionfigurepics.com/v/events/sdcc/sdcc09/4h/gothitropolis/IMG_3329+_765x1024_.jpg.html), Horus (http://www.actionfigurepics.com/v/events/sdcc/sdcc09/4h/gothitropolis/IMG_3325+_768x1024_.jpg.html) and Thoth (http://www.actionfigurepics.com/v/events/sdcc/sdcc09/4h/gothitropolis/IMG_3332+_767x1024_.jpg.html).

[1AZRAEL1]

Those 3 do look great don't they. I have a draw towards the Egyptian style ones (as I am sure Hursticon will as well :p)

I like the black "Death" looking one as well.

Can you identify/name the others? The info doesn't seem easy to come by.

Tempting... you don't have the Mynothecean Royal Guardsman cow by any chance, do you? :)

[Hursticon]

Ah, ok I think I get it...? :o

It's one figure named 'Scarabus' that has interchangeable face-plates that create a different look? ;)
So would this suggest that one would have to acquire multiple figures and multiple face-plates separately? :confused:

Also, does this figure have interchangeable feet? :rolleyes:
I think a Jackal headed demon would look odd with hooves. :p

Sorry for all the newbish questions, I've never seen or heard of these guys before, of course the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse is a different story - as is the 4 Horseman of WCW/TNA Wrestling fame! :cool:

No Scarabus is the original figure all the rest are variants of scarabus,diffrent heads,colours armour and weapons usually there is between 6-9 variants with a very limited one revealed last (usually a joke colouring) that your only able to get on storehorseman with about 200-300 made EG dairy cow pink elephant.

Cheers dude, :D
I spent quite a bit of the day reading all the posts on their website concerning Scarabus and indeed what you say is the case, which is cool because I think I might purchase a number of these when they are released. :D

The only thing I couldn't find out was how tall this guy is to be once done? :confused:

[kurdt_the_goat]

The elephant in this pic is apparantly 10.5" to the top of his ears, making Scarabus around 8" by Photoshop measure tool!

http://i55.tinypic.com/34zylw7.jpg

[twincobra]

Yea he will be big and heavy the elephants are solid plastic not hollowed out like the big toy companys figures so shipping was a bit of a killer.

[Tallestblue]

Scarabus looks Pretty sweet. Though he'd go straight onto the MOTUC Villains shelf.

Ah!
That's a nice pic and cheers for the estimate, as 8' or 20cm tall is pretty darn cool really! :D:cool:

I do like the feel of a figure that has a bit of weight to it, but yeah I can see how it would easily affect the shipping cost and considering the USPS charges out the arse for some fairly light stuff, it's a bit grounding. :(

Has anyone bought any of the Time Keepers? they look like narly little skeletal Gremlins and I'm considering picking up a 3 pack from the StoreHorseman website, at $25.00 USD that's a pretty good bargain really. ;):)
Any idea on how much they'd weigh?

[twincobra]

They are great and very light but they cant hold there weapons and are fragile one of my weapons broke off at the handle but mayb I was to rough.

They do look cool, I was tempted myself to get some. But I can't afford to buy anything for a while. Maybe they will have some when I have money again.

I'm with you dude, priority collection-wise for me goes to Transformers and/or TF Related, then whatever else follows suit. ;):p
Doesn't help either that 2011 looks to be as wallet-destroying as 2010 has been. :(

[kurdt_the_goat]

Keep an eye on fourhorsemen.biz (http://www.fourhorsemen.biz) in the coming days, they're putting up nice pics of coloured prototypes!

Since becoming aware of this character, figure, series and toy company thanks to you guys, I've kept my eye on their site each and everyday to see what's coming up next. :D
I can't wait for this line to be released! :D

[1AZRAEL1]

Man I can't wait, I just hope I will have money to buy these when they do come out.

I hear that dude! - considering how many variants this guy is gonna have! :p

[Sky Shadow]

The ten-pack of Scarabuses (Scarabi?) is up for preorder: http://store.shopfourhorsemen.com/sc10p.html

I know... :o:(
I wish I had the circa $300 to get the lot of them, but I only really want Scarabus and the 3 Egyptian-esque variants, I'll have to wait until they go up for Pre-Order individually. ;)

[TheFallen]

I am trying to avoid this as much as possible. I hate coming late to a line and not being able to pick up the previous releases. I want the Minotaurs, but it could be argued that they are 7th Kingdom and this is Gothitropolis

Sarabus looks so good and it really is hard to resist. I was on the pre order list for the Light and Dark Talismans but decided to not follow through.

I might have to keep thinking about it :)

[TheFallen]

Well I cracked. I have now bought the Light and Dark Talismans, the Timekeepers 3 pack and the Queen Alluxandra/Isadorra combo.

I will probably preorder the Scarabus 10 pack next month

[kurdt_the_goat]

Ordered a Dormant Form Scarabus today, after considering the various scheems for months. Pricey shipping but hey, it looks freaking awesome so i think it'll be worth it!

Check out thefwoosh reviews of all the variants here: Part 1 (http://thefwoosh.com/2011/07/first-look-gothitropolis-scarabus-part-i) Part 2 (http://thefwoosh.com/2011/07/first-look-gothitropolis-scarabus-part-ii)

[Sky Shadow]

I've ordered the "DARK DEITIES SCARABUS MULTI-PACK" of Thothos, Anubos and Horos - they were the three I wanted anyway.

[Hursticon]

I've ordered the "DARK DEITIES SCARABUS MULTI-PACK" of Thothos, Anubos and Horos - they were the three I wanted anyway.

This is the exact set I'd like, along with a standard Scarabus, but I'm torn between placing an order for these and placing an order for FP's Not-Insecticons... I hate having limited funds and the yearn for 2 sets of incredibly cool yet likely high in demand figures. :(
(I perpetually have this feeling that if I don't get something I'm collecting asap, then I'm going to miss out :o)

A big thanks to you Kurdt for the links to those reviews, they've pretty much confirmed what I thought these guys would turn out like - Friggin' Awesome! ;):cool:

Somewhere, I'm going to have to try and fit these in with my 2 other collecting priorities at the moment - Acquire Japanese Beast Wars figures and obtaining the 3 remaining (HC) Titan G1 Marvel reprint books I need. :rolleyes::o

Can't let you get away that easily Hursti!

Deliciously evil! Finally came and lives up to the hype!!

Post pics when you get him/them!

http://i54.tinypic.com/mw475l.jpg

Hmm, just realised whoever painted the nose area got a bit black-happy!
He's not supposed to have the bit in between the nostrils and lips painted black... but thankfully a silver gundam marker and 2 seconds of my time fixed it.
Otherwise, the QC on parts and paint is excellent! His articulation is very well done. The detail on the sculpt is through the roof!!

[Sky Shadow]

The Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fourhorsemen/gothitropolis-raven-action-figure-by-four-horsemen) for the new figures is up today - I've backed the $68 tier to get Minotaur The Duck!

[kurdt_the_goat]

They all look good as you'd expect - it would be hard to choose a favourite.

My Scarabus has been a little lonely (he's currently a makeshift enemy for Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa :D). The price looks cheaper than Scarabus if it all goes through, but i'm not sure they'll reach that goal, it seems pretty high!

[lancalot]

Wow they cool... backed the two figure pack...raven and falcon

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Hot damn that owl and Phoenix look pretty fine indeed.

[lancalot]

they release a mock-up of the wings added feature...
Very cool.!

my Gothitropolis ravens finally came....:) they don't look that good in the box ...but i just pull them out and setting them up now ...they look really good
