Pretty sure it's the original Raicho for Infinity's Combined Army. It has an updated model these days that looks substantially different!

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature Thank you so much for letting me know! I'll try to find it in Japan! Also, the paint job is freaking awesome! Thanks!

I'm still here! I'll be home mid- July. Still rolling around the rice fields in the Japanese countryside! I've had a hell of a time trying to get all my electronics to cooperate this trip and haven't been able to update anything yet- I'll see what I can do!

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature Have a good Time!! we're not going anywhere! Hear you when you get back!😊

You're two ahead of me still, so consider yourself lucky! I had a chance on one of those, forget which- naturally went back to get it the next day, and of course it wasn't there!

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature I got them on Amazon used for like $60 each, very worth it. Both came very good condition. I really want to get a copy of hero but it's like $230

Much more defined and a bit truer scale. Not to knock on Gripping Beast, but they're sculpts tend to be a bit more squat and heroic. I'm somewhat curious how they'd work together. I'd say if they're painted and based similarly it wouldn't be too bad.

Yeah, those Avatars of War Orcs have a very Adrian Smith look to them- big and menacing!

Scale- wise they're pretty comparable, but they are much more true scale in their proportions, so they may look a bit stand out- ish if mixed with GW figures- on the other hand, units of them fighting Empire models or something would look absolutely fine I'd wager.

The amount of modular parts that are available for their battle brothers at this point is pretty impressive. You can have quite the tailor- made force of individual figures if you were so inclined!

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature Definitively.

Then the metals? Probably. Been ages since I encountered the metals in the wild. They've got enough of a unique look though that while they may not be a 1:1 match, they'd look pretty good together on the tabletop, especially if you have both in nicely sized units!

Which is probably why I started gravitating to the candy toy kits at the supermarkets as they started to get released- I enjoy the building process far more than the transforming process!

Maybe? I am in Japan right now and the book is in California, so I cannot look at it.

I've enjoyed Lion Rampant for smaller scale historical battles. Especially since I don't have the time or patience to paint up massive piles of both armies!

I haven't painted ANY of my scenery! It's horrible! I have two or three (at least) of those various Warcry boxed sets from GW, all that terrain... and it's all still grey! What's even more sad is I have spray paints I had picked up to at least give it all a solid base coat and follow up with some drybrushing... and years later, I still haven't done it. Maybe this summer is the one, right?

With weapons as-is or swapped in with GW ones? It's always neat seeing people's allied human forces!

I'd love to know. I don't think I've ever come across that info, which there isn't a while lot of out there on the internet, unfortunately.

Depends if you mean the new or old knights. Empire knights? They may work. The new Cities of Sigmar ones, I don't think they would. The more interesting question I have bubbling up is how these heads and other parts would work with the new Victrix and Wargames Atlantic knights and footmen!

I'm glad customer service was able to help you out! That's always good to hear! Thankfully all my Joytoy figures have been pretty sturdy... so far at least!

I saw there's new cultists coming out. Definitely on my list of things to get in the future!

I'm glad there's opportunities to enjoy these works for a newer audience, or for those of us who were too young and missed out when these books were first releasing. I'm also glad there's still artists that really follow in the footsteps of those masters too!

More than likely printed masters. I haven't had any such issues with any of the Tabletop Combat figures I own, and I feel I've got a fair amount over the years!

Closest Yodobashi to me is a minimum hour car ride, assuming I can get a ride, or at least 90+ minute train ride. They do have a decent selection usually. When I was there after the pandemic it was pretty dismal. The local Joshin was usually my go- to spot over here, as they had a Kids Land section with all the hobby stuff. They just reopened the day before I posted this after an extensive remodel, and their model section was reduced by a significant percentage. It was sad. I have seen a lot more 30MM figures though since I've been here in 2024. I should have a few new videos on 30MM figures when I get home. I'm really looking forward to the 30 Minute Fantasy line though!

Glad somebody out there enjoys it besides me!

You've certainly got my curiosity, but I won't have the book handy, and won't have access to it for another good month or two! Otherwise I'd probably be down for some!

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature hopefully CZcams allows me to tell you to check your app that contains the word gram.

That's a pretty good deal then! I'm jealous!

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature i saw it when i was shopping around during my Birthday shopping spree back in January 2024.

I remember hearing something about that, and now it'll be floating back up again in my brain in the hopes of getting some!

Pretty sturdy. Things went together well. Some spots need a drop of glue or two due to the size and connection, but overall this was a pretty good effort. I feel the later Infinite Dimensions/ In Era kits stepped up the quality as well, if you're keeping an eye on any of those.

You've got me curious at to what sort of Daleks they would come up with. I'm sure there's some printable ones out there. I haven't looked for any, but now I may just have to as well!

Spears are boring! My Vikings are all about hacking!

Surprisingly no! I've built some that were, but you won't see videos on them as they just weren't worth my time to film.

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature hows the plastic feel?

​@@ObscuritiesinMiniature like is it bandai quality

It may not be Bandai level, but it's pretty solid. The kit is still in one piece despite me having it at work where people are constantly banging into the shelf it's on. I have had no issues with it. Only companies Id say that get near bandai would be guys like Motor Nuclear, Hemoxian, and possibly MS General off the top of my head. If you find this kit for a good price, I'd say it's a safe purchase!
