Monkey King for sure. All the new parts, crazy accessories, incredible paint apps, and multiple wired soft goods. That figure is a home run and hands down my #1 of the year
This is a fair, scientific, balanced, and well thought out list. That said, not having Swigg is a travesty and injustice and completely invalidates your whole discussion. Thank you, as always, for being the best of us.
I watch a lot of top 10 figure lists year after year, and I think your system was the best I've ever seen. I will send this video to all my non legions collector friend's and anyone that wants to know where to start collecting them. The horseman need to send you some kind of care package after this one. 😂 Excellent job Bill!!
Very cool. My #1 is the same for sure. The different ones I would’ve added personally would have been Vorgus 2, Zeeri, Noveunn, and Demistros. But every figure on your list is fantastic
My biggest "WOW factor" of 2023 => To be able to tell the story in 20 years time of the harsh Winter/Holiday season of 2023, a time like no other in histories past, where difficult choices needed to be made... beer money or bear money... 🐻🐻❄🐼
Hey man l feel your list. I like how you selected your 10. Very methodical. Mine is a little different. I went by look and feel basically. I tried not to add any reissues or updated figures. I would have had Slygor on there but mine had some QC issues. 10- Vorrga- Great figure. Love the look. Best weapon? I think yes. 9-Duban- I see this figure from afar, I want to know more. He is familiar yet still fresh and everything that I like about ML. 8- Sphexxian Prison Guard- oh that shimmer and shine. Nice hunk of plastic to move around. 7- Aius- an all around classic created in plastic form. Looks fantastic. Love his lanky arms and legs. 6- Valiant knight- he can really move it move it. Great figure to pose. It teases what to expect from future FH figures. Knights just scream ML for me. 5- Slogg- when I see him I know exactly what kind of character he is, worst supervisor ever! I love the uniqueness of his build. 4-Masque of Red Death- love the lore and mystery. Best soft goods execution? Totally creepy in good way. 3-Noveuun Leen- So fresh and so clean clean. Colors blend well together. Gnarly head sculpt. 2- Jacob Marley- the sculpt is stunning. The accessories are insane! Just pure fun to pose. I want Scrooge. 1- Monkey King- Maybe in my top 5 Figures of all time. It hits the mark on everything for me. Aesthetics, feels, posing, story. He takes up prime real estate on my shelf.
I like this system, here's my top ten via the same method: 1. The Masque of the Red Death 2. Highwarden Slogg 3. Noveunn Leen 4. The Ghost of Jacob Marley 5. Kraggnar 6. Sphexxian Prison Guard 7. Valiant Knight 8. Zenithon 9. Vorgga 10. Xylernian Guard
Great picks. What’s bonkers to me is I missed watching your review on Slogg & I haven’t taken him out of package yet. I will fix both of that real soon ;)
Awsome Bill 🥰 as always great job keep it up... but to add some more content could you do each faction so far you have 😍 like for example, all Necronominus faction your top ten and last make a pop and swap if you would be Skeleton Warrior or Sorcerer what would he look like 🎉
My favorite 4H figure this year was Duban! Ever since your review sold me on him, I was able to order him locally in a store in my country, and man, he's become my favorite Legions figure. I need more rangers from Mythic Legions!
Very good, Bill. I thought you had lost me when you put the Xylernian Guard at no.9 but all of your choices made perfect sense. Still waiting to get my hands on that Valiant Knight. Oddly enough, I have all of these except for the VK and Monkey King. Monkey King didn't do it for me initially because I was unfamiliar with the character, but I really feel like I need to track him down now.
1.(top)Red death 2.valiant knight 3.noveun leen 4.marley 5.slogg Theres my top five before i get to urs..i have all the figures except sskkurge..wasnt able to get to powercon and operative i lucked into but sskkurge is still too much for me to grab..hopefully soon and the wave will come eventually .but red death and valiant are the tops for me cause of the game changing articulation but also just because of how cool they are already for themselves and pops..marley and leen also just beauties and i didnt expect slogg to be so high for me but i love that chunky arsehole..figuring out the other five for top ten would be fun but ive rambled enough..love these vids man

Damn. That’s a process. Neat to hear how you went about it, and it’s especially noteworthy since you got all the releases. I can’t be a completist, but seeing all the 2023 releases allowed me to realize that I got 23 of the 47. Even though I missed nearly half of this year’s figs, most of my favorites are in your top 10. Anyway, always appreciate your hard work and thorough approach to looking at figs. Admittedly, I don’t have the capacity to be as thorough on my channel, so yours is one of my personal go-tos for reviews and one of the few places I tell others to go to to get a good sense of what these figs are like short of buying em. Great stuff. Thanks for a great year of content. Hope we get to collab a little more in 2024. Let’s go United Toy Educators!!! ✌🏾➕✊🏾
@@DorkLairJust realized a few were missing from the opening and closing grid of figures. Any particular reason? Okeaetos was one of my favorites this year.
Find your ranking a bit figura obscura related...but I respect your choice...my favourite is Demistros from PowerCon and the 2Pack which landed on your ran 5❤🙏👍
As I said multiple times in the video, I'm heavily biased towards Figura Obscura, the amount of love and special attention Four Horsemen put into each Figura release is unparalleled.
The number one on your list was the first Four Horsemen figure I ever purchased. It drew me in. And of the 5 Four Horsemen figures in my collection now, 4 are on this list. 👍
No love for the Sphexxians? For shame. Actually, this is a great list. I don't have any of the exclusives or Cosmic wave 2 yet, so I would replace those figures with the deluxe orcs and the bugs.
No Sskur’ge?! My top 10 4H figures of 2023: 1. FO - Monkey King Sun Wukong 2. CL - Sskur’ge 3. CL - Slogg 4. FO - Masque of the Red Death 5. ML/CL - Wal-Torr the Mad 6. CL - Noveunn Leen 7. CL - Sphexxian Prison Guard 8. ML - Vampire Phalanx 9. ML - Deluxe Male Orc Builder 10. CL - Vorgga HM. ML - Okeaetos
What's YOUR biggest "wow factor" figure of 2023?
Monkey King for sure. All the new parts, crazy accessories, incredible paint apps, and multiple wired soft goods. That figure is a home run and hands down my #1 of the year
Slogg! The Masque of the Red Death is a close second.
This is a fair, scientific, balanced, and well thought out list. That said, not having Swigg is a travesty and injustice and completely invalidates your whole discussion. Thank you, as always, for being the best of us.
OH MY GOD! I completely forgot about swigg! Just revise the list: top 11 and Swigg number 1.
Love your process and selections. Don’t agree with all of them but the way you did it was cool.
Thanks Curtis!

Thank you so much! I wasn't gonna do the ranking system for my non-Legions list, but now you are making me think I should.
@DorkLair yeah I think its a solid system, gives some context to your picks besides saying oh I think its pretty
Always look forward to the Dorklair top ten! And the point system is a cool way to calculate it - thanks for all the great videos this year!
Thanks HedgeHog!
Very cool. My #1 is the same for sure. The different ones I would’ve added personally would have been Vorgus 2, Zeeri, Noveunn, and Demistros. But every figure on your list is fantastic
Great choices! All of those could have made it on my list. Noveunn was on the cusp for sure.
I am a sucker for vampires 😉 so Vorgus Vermillius 2 is on my top five

Awesome list thanks for sharing!
Great top 10 Bill
Thanks a bunch!
Awesome video. Love the scoring system.
Thank you!
Awesome video Bill! Great ranking system.
Thank you Josh!
There's so many releases I can't get due to budgets. Duban and Xylerian Guard were my faves. Looking forward to the Monkey King & Marley repaints
I'm definitely excited to see what they do with those.
Great stuff. I love these top 10 type videos
Thank you Paul!
Cool. Thanks
Top 3 Sun Wu-Kong is my favorite! Retail Headless #2, Kraggnar#3

4. The Ghost of Jacob Marley
5. Kraggnar
6. Sphexxian Prison Guard
7. Valiant Knight

Great list! Lot's of overlap with my tastes for sure.
Great picks.
What’s bonkers to me is I missed watching your review on Slogg & I haven’t taken him out of package yet. I will fix both of that real soon ;)
Enjoy!
I like your ranking system..seemed fair balanced and well thought out

Those are great ideas, but I have no shortage of ideas for content. What I lack is time.
Absolutely superb Bill. Appreciate all the effort you put in for this!
My pleasure John!

Do it! It's still pretty easy to find.

Would love to see a top ten pop n swap list
Check out the Pop n Swap starts contest we did on Legions Lounge: ruclips.net/user/livegTNLJPXuL4g?si=41qVwuFHHnVT-uV4
The number one on your list was the first Four Horsemen figure I ever purchased. It drew me in. And of the 5 Four Horsemen figures in my collection now, 4 are on this list. 👍
Nice! It's been a banner year.
I'm glad you had Monkey King #1. The rest are all debatable, but the Monkey King is a clear #1 IMO.
Thanks for watching!
No love for the Sphexxians? For shame. Actually, this is a great list. I don't have any of the exclusives or Cosmic wave 2 yet, so I would replace those figures with the deluxe orcs and the bugs.
The Sphexxians are great!
lol slogg is my number one too and i got another in box.
It's so good! So unique and bold.
A troll would be my # 1 if i could afford to buy one .
200th Like!
Thank you!
