It seemed to take forever for eM-4 to release the Phagons.
But it was worth the wait.

When my pal Graham and I first saw these, we trembled, shook, and immediately got on the phone, credit cards in hand.
We were long-time Runequesters, and had collected and converted hundreds of Goat-headed Broo.
For those of you too young to remember.... A certain UK company had produced wonderful, licensed RQ Broo, but eventually dropped the license to produce 'Chaos Beastmen,' a totally original piece of goat-headed intellectual property.

Like we cared.... Broo were broo, and our forces swelled.
Eventually we started playing Science Fiction. We missed our Broo, though.
A certain company made a couple of Space 'Beastmen.' They were OK, but hard-to-get, and expensive.
But then.... One day, we got a flyer in the mail, with pictures of DOZENS of Space Broo, and they were AMAZING. 6 codes, each with 4 variants We immediately ordered the lot, x2, in convenient 20-packs.

It was only later that we noticed that 3 codes had 5 variants each. (Yes, we are THAT smart)
I spent the next 3 years searching hobby shops across the USA looking for the missing variants. (x2: Graham needed HIS too)
Eventually I found them, and picked up a bunch of others in the process. They have been longstanding villains in our game, and a terrible foe.
So I have been annoying Doug ever since the SPACELORDS appeared in eM-4's ranks. And they were worth the wait.
They've been remoulded, and kudos to eM-4's mouldmaker and choice of metal, as there was NO flash on my figures, and the detail is even better than I remember. Just have a look. |
