Become Death with Mythic Legions' Maxillius the Harvester

As we creep into the spookiest month of the year and watch all the horrors streaming and movie theaters have to offer, those of us addicted to plastics take special notice of the more fiendish creations carved out by our toy sisters and brothers. One such toy line always serving up monsters large and small is the Four Horsemen's Mythic Legions, and among them are the rattling bones of skeleton warriors! Recently, 4H devoted nearly an entire wave to those fantastic, skinless troopers, including one called Maxillius the Harvester; as close as we come to an action figure of death, complete with a massive scythe and hourglass to assure you...you're time is running out.

Biography

Before the Lord of Death appears, there is Maxillius the Harvester. Necronominus comes forth to raise the dead and grow his army, and the Harvester’s job is to give his master fields of freshly reaped bodies to turn to his side. Maxillius is as unstoppable as the passage of time. He is a force of nature that cannot be reasoned with or slowed. He exists only to kill. Entire companies of knights have fallen at his feet as the Harvester comes to reap, a scythe in one hand and an hourglass swimming with the souls of his victims in the other. When you hear the rattling of the bones he wears upon his chest, you know the Harvester is close.

Note: This figure allows for multiple looks, as shown in the photos - the Maxillius character, a classic Grim Reaper, or a full skeleton!
