Melchom & Nergall (18 Pics)"},"content":{"rendered":"

<\/a> Day Four of Scarabus Week focuses on accessories! Some of you might have noticed that I did a little rewrite to the Day 3 review because I wasn’t satisfied with it. I realized the pictures could tell the story without my commentary. So today, I’ve decided to literally let the pictures tell the tale. All 18 of ’em.<\/p>\n

Accessories are a funny thing in the action figure world. We always think that every toy should have more (particularly as the prices go up), but I honestly don’t know what I’d do with them all anymore. For my DC Shelf, I picked up two extra JLU Supermen to get the Bottle City of Kandor and the Phantom Zone Projector.<\/P><\/p>\n

They’re in the accessories bin right now. (The accessories. The Supermen were given away.)<\/p>\n

It’s not always that way, of course, MOTUC’s Faker happily sits on my desk with the full complement of gear we long campaigned for and my ML Cap will always hold his trusty shield. I guess it’s just that I laugh at how hung up I get on accessories that I end up not using very much.<\/p>\n

I’ll use the Scarabus figures as an example. The package is loaded – you have to strain to find a blank spot. The sheer number of accessories is ridiculous and yet… I find myself thinking, “he could use a sword” or “a dagger could be cool”. We collectors are a funny bunch, aren’t we?<\/P><\/p>\n

Now, we might just see these guys with some gear from other lines tomorrow, but I need to focus on what they have today. Thankfully, Melchom & Nergall will be helping me take a look at the various gear & add-ons that come with a Scarabus figure. After they’re done, I’ll provide a quick text list, as well as my thoughts on these two particular figures.<\/p>\n

To sum up, each Scarabus includes a staff with an interchangeable spear tip or ornamental headpiece, two pincers, three pieces of Timekeeper armor, two add-on flames, and four extra hands. Each individual figure includes a Scarabus head and face plate along with their own unique head and\/or face plate. If you purchase all ten that’s a little north of 150 accessories all together. One hundred and fifty. You’ll either need to buy some zip-loc bags or keep the resealable packaging just for the trays! <\/p>\n

Melchom & Nergall are an interesting pair. On the StoreHorsemen.Com<\/a> site, they’re both described as “one of the many insect-like guards that infest the palace”. The figures themselves seem so much more important and unique than that to me. Perhaps I’m just being uncreative, but the figure’s head sculpts give me an Alien vs. Predator vibe and both of them ended up being some of my favorite figures for it. Nergall’s head adds a little more fun to the mix too since the horns are articulated and can be placed facing up or down.<\/p>\n

The metallic blue on Nergall is pretty cool, but I find my particularly happy with Melchom. I love the frosty blue skin tone so much that I would love to display him as a Scarabus variant, but Melchom’s face is one of my favorite alternate plates! That’s the agony of choices, my friends!<\/p>\n

Overall, these are two of the cooler figures in the wave to me. I know I keep picking a favorite every day it seems, but that’s how these draw you in. Melchom & Nergall help to expand the stable with the unique head sculpts and have two more great color schemes to finish it off. Their accessories are a cool mirror for each other with the red & blue highlights and dark & light base colors. They really make quite the pair.<\/P><\/p>\n

All the versions of Scarabus are currently available for order at StoreHorsemen.Com<\/a> and check back with us tomorrow for a look at two more figures from the 10-pack!<\/p>\n

A huge thanks out to all the Four Horsemen – Cornboy, Jim, Chris, and Eric – for making Scarabus Week a reality!<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n
