When I think of great toys to post reviews for leading up to Halloween, my mind instantly goes to the Mythic Legions line by Four Horsemen Studios. Sure, there are a lot of knights and vikings in the mix. But the standout figures for me are the creepy characters: mainly the vampires, demons, orcs, and skeletons. It's so rare to get a female figure like this that's not a bikini'd swimsuit model with fangs. And, yes, I'm aware that some of the Mythic Legions ladies have been exactly that. But most of them are well thought-out, strong-looking characters with amazing detail. And Illythia is a prime example. I don't pay attention to the overall mythos of Mythic Legions, but considering this Illythia character has a whole faction named after her (Illythia's Brood), I assume she's a pretty big deal. When I ordered her, I assumed the extra arms implied some spider-like qualities, but in person, it seems more of a demonic aesthetic. Either way, it's great for Halloween week. Let's check out the deluxe Illythia below!
Illythia comes with two large curved blades, four extra xenomorph-type arms, a piece to mount those four arms to her back, two spiked scales (on real chains), and finally a large purple skeletal piece that has two additional spiked scales attached at each end.
Illythia also comes with a softgoods scarf. I believe this is supposed to drape around her arms. This had fallen to the floor when I opened the packaging and I didn't find it until a few days after I was done photographing her.
Time for a Comparison Pic!
Cheers!
