>>10679423Some interesting info, thanks for the tldw.
If they knew they were making a Shadow Orc troop builder, it would've been nice if they mentioned it when Gorthokk was for sale. Probably would've pushed people on the fence to grab him. They dropped hints for similar things for Sir Andrew and Santa 2, but I don't remember anything related to the shadow orcs. I generally avoided him because he was boring on his own, but with two buddies behind him they'd actually work as a subgroup.
Them just remaking Silverhorns just seemed kinda silly as this could've been a perfect chance to make an actual Legion Builder version of him. I bought one to help bulk up my forest army, but he ended up being split up and mixed between other figures. I'm tempted to grab another Guard so my forest army isn't as Elf focused, but I don't like buying army builders at the "Standard" figure price point.
Also, as much as I love the Cave Dwarf, if they really wanted to "represent" the various eras of their line, I feel a female Elf Builder would've been a much better option. It would've represented the AoD wave a lot better and addressed the whole issue of them ignoring the 2.0 and female builds. They could've used the closed Elf helm and the Lady Avarona helm with a Wisperling face or something. The original Elf builder was probably one of the most popular builders they released, so a female one would've been fantastic to see. Especially after dropping those builder packs and giving us tons of Elf heads and parts, there really needs to be more cheap 2.0 bodies getting pumped out.
