I was ready to make a comment about "how could you not put my personal favorite figure of the year in your top 10?!" But then I got to number 1. And you did. Great list!
Bill “The Braggart” coming out in this video. Look at me ! I have ALL the Four Horsemen figures !! Well.. whoop-dee-doo. Uh, I have them all too & they are very cool ;) Ha! No Shame Bill, you keep collecting & reviewing. This was a great list, solid picks!
Ph’shr at 10 shocks me. It’s my number one by far. It has great value for the price and looks amazing. 4 heads. 3 necks, 2 chest pieces, 2 sets of arms and legs, and the most detailed paint job of any cosmic we have seen.
@@curtismakerman The retail pricing vs direct pricing creates a huge gap. For example is Ph'shr for $60 a better deal than two Skeletons for $52? Or two Red Jets for $74?
Great video Bill. While I personally don’t agree with a lot of this (especially the bang for your buck on Ph’shr) I do appreciate the thought and care that went into a list like this.
Aracagorr was what got me into this line! I hope the 4 horsemen release more dragosyrs going forward. It's an excellent candidate for ogre scale popping and swapping and I can only imagine having a whole army of these guys in different colours and armours!
@@Dessiker I did! I've pre-ordered Stavros and I intend to get Skkurge in some time but I need moaarr. Would especially appreciate new headsculpts and armour accessories.
Fun video!!! Skeleton Legion Builder 2 is a clear #1 in my eyes, $26 for a figure that is 100% new parts that can hit crazy poses and looks great, with a paint job that doesn't feel like a legion builder. I did not see your #1 coming! Obviously it is your ranking system, but it doesn't seem fair to have "Lore" weighted as highly as "look" or "hand candy" when discussing action figures. Especially with Figura Obscura being based on 100+ year old classic literary works and Mythic/Cosmic being based on fantasy/sci-fi tropes, it isn't even comparable. I actually prefer that Mythic/Cosmic doesn't have (much) specific lore associated with them so I can envision them however I want. I feel like Cosmic got a bit short-changed this year since they didn't get a "new" wave released, just the repaint wave. Oxkrewe Book One should be big next year!
@@Dessiker Yeah we all have our own preferences of what we value, I value lore in these four horsemen lists especially because Four Horsemen put a lot of effort into the storytelling, whether it's the bios, the narratives, the packaging, the extras etc. they make an effort to do it, so I make an effort to include it.
I though the Frankenstein's Monster/Creature was the most impressive with all the extra stuff. But, it's such a hard decision to make - all of the figures are cool.
@@hammertronactionfigures2426 If I hadn't used the point system, I think the Creature would have been #1. Like if I had to pick just one figure to keep from 2024 and get rid of all the rest, I'd have chosen the Creature.
@@DorkLair I missed that part and only saw it on their website. How coincidental that only a few months ago I had been wondering if Four Horsemen would add any more factions. What fun!
Bill, a well thought out Top ten . Frankensteins monster ranked high on my action figure of the year. The rendering and overall concept was perfect. I have not picked up. Dragon kin yet. I should maybe the BBTS exclusive.✌️
This really hammers home what a superb year its been for 4H/Mythic/Cosmic/FO. For me Thraice and Aracagorr share the top spot (just can't decide between them) with Azahazzar a close second
My list is nearly identical lol. Take out the Ninian Infantry and they’re the same. ‘24 was a great year for 4H releases but I think ‘25 will surpass it.
Wouldn't throwing darts have been an easier way of assigning scores? Y'know, using a dart board of course. We want to keep the action figures in good shape.

Solid list! I like how you did the categories/points to come up with 1-10. Enjoyed it, well done man!

@@thrallingFRglory I can't wait for the BBTS Dragon guy. Looks so good in black.
Did you see the Stavros figure on BBTS? Along with Skurge from Cosmic you have 3 dragosyrs already!
@@Dessiker I did! I've pre-ordered Stavros and I intend to get Skkurge in some time but I need moaarr. Would especially appreciate new headsculpts and armour accessories.
Aracagorr was my most anticipated figure to get in had this year to the point where I own three of them
@@HankG51 Wow!
Very fun watch! Always love seeing your methods of ranking!
All great figures but aracagor is also my number 1 four horseman figure of the year
I want the Ninian Infantry
@@OldGrumpyNerd. Follow Four Horsemen on social media. They will announce its online release ahead of time.

Great list. I tried making a Top Ten of all figures from 2024 and it was so hard.
@@FuriousFigures I'll be moving on to my "all lines" list next.
Kraggnar is my personal favorite
@@cram2979 Yeah he was very close to making my 2023 list last year.

Did anyone notice that the Four Horsemen added a new faction?
Arraya (a dragon cult lady) brought in a new faction.
@@hammertronactionfigures2426 Yes, they announced it during the reveal.

WOW!
Every single one this year?
That must have cost a pretty penny.
That's a cool collection there.
@@hammertronactionfigures2426 Last year was even more.

You can't leave me hanging like that, what goes in place of the Ninian on your list Blaise?

@@hammertronactionfigures2426 Haha! I do enjoy a good game of Cricket!
Decent!
