Oh man these are so cool looking, Wished I had got on this, The Fish man, Conan guy and Cthulu dude are looking so awesome, I am going to get on those ones once they go for pre-order.
Good looking stuff. Looks like they did a particularly good job on the skin texturing. Kinda sad I missed out entirely.
The folks at Harvinger Studios set me this new Savage Crucible Royal Guard figure which was funded in a Kickstarter campaign back in February 2023. This particular figure stands 7" tall and is a lizard type humanoid character dressed in royal battle type garb. The figure comes with a pair of grip hands and a pair of open hands. You also get a pair of long swords and a pair of shorter curved swords. There are sheaths on the back and side of the figure to hold all four swords.The packaging features nice mythical type artwork on it. The front flap opens to reveal the figure inside. You have a brief synopsis for Savage Crucible on the back. Inside besides the figure and accessories is a map backdrop along with a blind bag bio card which features nice artwork on the front and character information on the back. The card included with my figure is not based on the Royal Guard character so I assume these cards are randomly inserted with each figure as something you can collect.
The black lizard character is nicely detailed with sculpted scales on the skin. You have white markings painted throughout the figure and then you have some nicely detailed gold and silver snake armor he is wearing. The paint detail on the eyes are nice as well. The shoulder pads, chest and mid-section armor pieces are separate pieces made from a softer flexible rubber type material while the wrist and shin guards are sculpted on to the figure with a harder plastic. The armor pieces do not appear to be removable on the figure. The sheaths for the swords are a harder plastic with openings on the sides. The bigger swords are meant to fit on the figures back while the curved swords go on the sides. The bigger swords do not stay in the sheaths as well as the side swords do. The big swords don't fall out but they do tend move more in the sheath.Articulation on the figure is decent. On the packaging it warns of needing to heat up tight joints before moving it so you don't break the figure however that was not a problem with my figure. The one issue I had with articulation is the ankle joints on the feet of my figure right out of the packaging where on the loose side. That and the fact the figure has toe articulation make the figure to have a tendency to fall forward more easily. The figure has single hinged elbows, double jointed knees, tow articulation, ankle pivot, rotation at the biceps, elbows, thighs, knees and mid-section. The head has good rotation as well and decent up and down movement and you have an articulated jaw. Hands rotate and have hinges on them and you also have a tail with 4 points of articulation.Overall you can get the figure into some decent poses and I have had no breakage issues. Again really my only complaint comes with the loose ankle joints which can make standing the figure up a pain. The figure does have peg holes on the bottom of the feet but it does not come with any kind of figure stand.Check out my GALLERY of images for this figure below.

The folks from Harvinger Studios where at yesterday's Maryland Toy Expo showing off prototypes for their new Savage Crucible 6-7" action figure line. These were prototypes of course, but having gotten to see these in-person for the first time I must say the articulation on these seem quit good. Some of these are still available for pre-order from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. is supposed to start shipping out to folks in February 2024.

They'd be leaving money on the table not making them available again from BBTS or EE. I won't do Kickstarters anymore after getting some of my stuff i funded on there and it wasn't anything like promised.
Man, there's a couple of these I really wish I could've jumped in on. That cthulu is awesome
