So it took me most of the weekend (or at least the parts of it I had free) but I finally finished the second phase of my Legions re-un-boxing. Everyone is now on their feet and geared up with mostly unique load outs. At this point it's well over 50 figures, and that's with me *trying* to be super selective in my purchases. Next step is to organize them into their factions, and single out which figures need/deserve more custom bits and belts.
Honestly, that's one of my biggest issues with this line since around the beginning of 2.0. Each figure comes with a god damn pile of weapons, some of them are just ridiculously well armed (Elf LB comes with spear, bow, quiver, small sword AND a dagger...on top of three heads) but the only way to stow any of these weapons is the ubiquitous and often ill fitting sword strap. It was acceptable in 1.0, especially since it wasn't originally intended to come with everyone and was only added as a standard accessory due to fan demand and them reaching ridiculous amounts of pledges. But at this point, it's worn out it's welcome and really needs to be put to the wayside.
Hand packs are nice, head packs will be fun, and weapon packs are certainly useful, but what we need now more then anything in this line is brand new belt packs. New waist belts, shoulder belts, harnesses, baldrics so forth and so on. Much like the weapons they could be initially sold in packs and distributed among subsequent releases over time.
We know they can make awesome belts, the birds had fantastic belts, full of small items and great details. So there should be no reason for them to not make new belts for the Legions that are capable of carrying various types of weapons and gear.
Anyway, that's my pointless rant for the day. If I was apart of the damned facebook group I'd be doing it there because complaining here is just like pissing into the wind.
Anyway, pic of the currently unsorted Legions.
