News Update
We are very excited to announce the 2nd figure set for LegionsCon 2024 – the Cosmic Legions “Amazing Alien & Creature Creator” 2-pack! This set will be available at LegionsCon on Sunday, November 10th. Here are more details!
This set was created with popping-and-swapping in mind! Everything from the figure parts chosen, to the paint schemes selected, to the bios for these “T.U.5.C.C. Experiments” (which can be read below) lend themselves to allowing you to mix and match the included pieces in countless ways to create your own Cosmic characters!
The “Amazing Alien & Creature Creator” set includes a slew of extra parts, with a total of 2 base bodies, 8 sets of hands, 3 sets of gauntlets, 3 sets of feet, multiple weapons and accessories – including a removable backpack, 3 neck pieces, 2 sets of shoulder armor, and a total of 6 heads. Two of those heads (the red vampire and the T.U.5.C.C. helmet with the purple visor) are exclusive to the LegionsCon edition along with an extra pair of upper arms and an extra piece of waist armor. Price of this set at LegionsCon is still TBD.
In addition to the show exclusive figure pieces, the LegionsCon edition of this set will also come in special "throwback style" packaging! We have something very cool planned for this, and we think this will be a set that many Legionnaires will want to grab an extra of to keep packaged for display!
As we have done with all show edition figures, we will also release “standard” versions of each of the figures in this set sometime in early 2025. Those versions will not include any “show only” parts and they will come in normal Cosmic Legions packaging.
The bios for this set tie these two characters together in a desperate struggle:
T.U.5.C.C. Experiment AA-20
Experiment AA-20 is one of the first specimens created as part of the Traders Union of the 5 Circles of Cosmerrium’s secretive program of genetic manipulation. The lone survivor of the AA batch of experiments, AA-20 has proven to be a nearly perfect thrall to the T.U.5.C.C. Science Officers who gave him life. AA-20 is intelligent, resilient, creative, ruthless, and above all – totally compliant to the commands of his T.U.5.C.C. overseers. Often utilized in the extermination of failed experiments, AA-20 has recently been sent out in search of a number of experimental creations which escaped the confines of the T.U.5.C.C. labs. AA-20’s mission is to hunt down and neutralize these escapees before evidence of the Traders Union’s illegal practices can be discovered by the Phaeroxx authorities.
T.U.5.C.C. Experiment CC-24
The CC batch of T.U.5.C.C. experiments in genetic manipulation were meant to produce a new breed of shock troops loyal to the Traders Union. Protocols in genetic splicing which dictate that no more than 3 gene-sequences should be used in any single experiment were ignored, and the resulting creations were monstrous. Developed by mixing the sequences of nearly a dozen species in the labs of Facility D-8-G0:1, including Carzynian and Thraxxian genes, the CC batch of specimens proved to be violent and uncontrollable. Breaking free from the labs and slaughtering all who stood in their way as they made their escape, these genetically-enhanced predators have begun to make their way across the Rings of Cosmerrium. The biggest and meanest of the group, a specimen formally known as D-8-G0:1 // Experiment CC-24, has been tracked to the remote planet known as Wiip-nee in Sector 11:9-10. It is here where Experiment AA-20’s hunt has led him, knowing that only one of these T.U.5.C.C. lab creations will survive this unavoidable encounter.
Did you catch the fun little tribute nod in that second bio? Yes – that is reference to our very own Diego! He liked this build so much, we had to drop his name in there! Hmm…maybe “CC” stands for “Customer Care”?
LegionsCon 2024 takes place on Saturday and Sunday, November 9-10 at the Hanover Marriott in Whippany, NJ. Full details on this event, and links to purchase tickets now, can be found at LegionsCon.com
