Slimed Drone test shot in clear translucent. This figure will be Krystal Krysis and will have his head. There will be translucent armor and accessories as well with these. They will be in full artwork window boxes. Oh..and cannot forget SLIME!

The center leg ball joint adapter will not be black. It was used for reference from the factory.

I like the line i bought 1st 2 waves. I dont care for the card art it isnt wye catching at all . And doesnt grab customers. I set up at toy shows pretty often and nobody picks them up in package. But i can open them and price them the same and tgey sell loose.

Thanks for the feedback and support. The Slimed Drones will be window boxed and we promise that you will keep the boxes intact with the next wave. We are also working in a full display removable insert with these as well. We will reveal some pics very soon of the upcoming artwork packages.

I've been a fan of LWOTW and Warrior Beasts since I first saw them on the pegs in the 80s at our local Woolworth's in San Antonio. I'm missing a few Warrior Beasts but my Remco collection is a respectable 12 figures deep. Yet somehow I missed news of the relatively new ROTU line completely. I accidentally bumped into them on Amazon on Monday and flipped out! I rushed to the official site and bought wave one immediately (save for the regular Archfiend who is sold out).
I'm anxiously awaiting the figures arrival and to "ease" the wait I've been reading every review I can find and watching all the Youtube reviews. The Infinite Hollywood review on Hercules is wondrous. The author totally got the Remco references that sadly go unnoticed by most of the Remco uninitiated reviewers, who's only reference point seems to be MOTU. There are also some really fun Youtube video reviews created by Obscene Newg that start with short, serialized stop motion intros (haven't seen this done since the old Sectaurs commercials).
Like many, I'm a sucker for skeleton warriors but I'm actually most excited for Hercules. As an African American, one of the things that drew me to Remco's LWOTW line was the different ethnicities represented. Growing up, I identified with white heroes because they were 99% of what was presented to me. But seeing a line where every heroic character was the potential "He-Man" and having a few be ethnic really struck a cord. Arak looked Native American and had an awesome red hue to his skin. Machiste was black but didn't have the expected dark skin that would scream black - no, he was a light skinned brother with brown hair (we call them high yellow brothers in the south) - bold choice Remco.
So getting back to ROTU Blackules (ahem) I mean Hercules...he was the first ROTU I saw and I almost fell over, awestruck by his dark complected awesomeness. Who knew Zeus was into chocolate honeys? I know it wasn't the creators intention to take a historically greek icon and make him black but I call 'em like I see 'em and on my shelf, Herc won't just be a badass - he'll be a badass brother. Thanks Zoloworld - this mocha dad and his carmel kids can't wait to add this brown bruiser to our epic battles.
Quick history lesson on Black Greeks: In northeastern Greece, there is a village called Avato. There, one can still find the Black Greeks of Thrace, a dark skinned population of Greeks who could easily be mistaken for African Americans. Their ancestors came to Greece from the Sudan (Africa) during Ottoman rule, as the slaves of local beys. The mystery of Blackules is solved.

OK - so they arrived and I love them. My man Herc is owning my Remco shelf. Not only did I rush back to the ROTU site to order more Archfiends, I dug up my beat up, non-display worthy Remco and Imperial figures and started customizing. Hercules now has a shield to compliment the Sword of Heroes and a faithful war-mount worthy of his might. Working name: GOLIATH The Imperial mounts and Remco heroes and Warrior Beasts were like peas and carrots. "Rhino Avenger" has always been my favorite and seemed like a solid choice for Hercules. I vinyl dyed him a deep gray and then gave him an overspray misting with black vinyl dye. I own two Avengers but used the one with the gold saddle to match Herc's trim and accessories. To finish him off I painted the eyes the same color as Herc's to convey that Goliath is imbued with some of the same godlike power and could have been a gift from Zeus.

Can't wait for wave 2.5! The Slimed Drones are the best possible answer to critics who were looking for this line to push design boundaries. Take my money.

I have a question about the Molten Acromancer. I've seen pics of it with the skull head and pics of it with the "Overworld" hooded head. Do both come in the box? Are they split half and half? Just curious. I have some just haven't jumped on that one, though I plan to.

Just curious. I have some just haven't jumped on that one, though I plan to. It's a variant. Some of the Molten Acromancers come packaged with the "Overworld" head. It also includes the skull head. However, the regular figure comes packaged with the skull head. It does not have the "Overworld" head included. So it's sort of random. If you see them in person or for sale online, you can spot the variant by how it's packaged. Overworld head will be packaged on the figure, whereas Skull head doesn't have both. Hope that helps. It's a really cool figure either way, but I was lucky enough to snag the variant.
