Legends of Dragonore is a retro-MOTU-styled line of sword and sorcery action figures from Formo Toys. The first wave was released last year with two great female characters in the lineup: Pantera and Yondara. And there is a second wave in production, with pre-orders still active on Formo Toys and BBTS, incuding another two female characters; Horri-Dame and Venatica (and an awesome Greenman homage, Arboryous). I can't wait to get them. But to tide us over before Wave Two is released, we got a surprise Wave 1.5 of repaints. Considering the swappable-parts construction of this line, this adds a ton of great fodder for kitbashing. But I personally like the redecos on their own merit. This Night Hunter Pantera figure swaps the pink armor and blue fur for black fur and metallic bronze armor. I think she looks stunning and I'm excited for a potential Wave 2.5 with redecos of all the new figures. There is a lot of fun potential in this line. Let's check out Night Hunter Pantera below!
Pantera comes with removable chest armor and sword in a bronze-y metallic.
These figures have eight points of articulation (all are simple swivel joints): Head, Shoulders, Waist, Legs, and Boots.
Wave 1.5 comes with a Legends of Dragonore minicomic: Fire at Icemere!
Here is the insert detailing Pantera's construction and swappable parts. Note: although the scale of this line is similar to MOTU Origins, they are unique designs with unique connecting pieces.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Night Hunter Pantera with her original release from 2023.
And here is Pantera with her 1.5 Wave-mate, Prophecy Vision Yondara.
Here are all four Dragonore ladies so far: Yondara, Yondara (Prophecy Visions), Pantera (Night Hunter), and Pantera.
Cheers!
I DESPISE copper/gold on action figures... pity it was not any other color (yellow blows too). I already have the dark blue version, which I find superior, but this one's head reminds me SO much of Black Cat fireworks ads from the 80s that it's tempting... minus her gold accessories and with a little painting to nail the rest. One downside to the figure is, if one were to use the parts-swapping swapping feature to give her the even darker clothing of the 1st version, ...the neck. The neck would be dark blue, which, aside from painting it black, eliminates the play feature (fun) of parts-swapping.
