Skeleton Warriors Checklist — Every Figure in Infinite Legions Wave 1

Retailer preorders on Infinite Legions: Skeleton Warriors Wave 1 opened at midnight Eastern this morning, and ours went live with them. Four Horsemen's own direct window closed Sunday night — the discounted pricing and the exclusive pin went with it — so every remaining route to these figures now runs through a shop. Four figures, roughly ten months of waiting, and two of them are designs Playmates drew up in 1995 and never made.

What's in Infinite Legions: Skeleton Warriors Wave 1

Four figures, all on the villain side of the roster. No Legion of Light heroes in this assortment, and no Baron Dark.

• Dr. Cyborn — the evil cyber-scientist. Acid-blaster, skull pistol, hand-held blaster, mace, 7 different hands, and a wired soft-goods cape. Approx. 7" tall, ~27 points of articulation. $59.99.
• Aracula (Deluxe) — the arach-assassin. Tarantul-axe, spider shooter, web shield, multi-mace, removable armor, and 4 sets of hands. Approx. 8" tall, ~51 points of articulation. $64.99.
• Bone-Zai — the skele-samurai. Putrid pole-chopper, samurai sword and scabbard, removable armor, and 3 sets of hands. Approx. 7" tall, ~28 points of articulation. $59.99.
• Claw — the bestial hunter, revealed last, after the other three. Dual blaster pistols, large claw grabber, hammer, removable "fur" attachment, and 3 sets of hands. Approx. 7" tall, ~27 points of articulation. $59.99.

Those accessory lists come straight from Four Horsemen's own product documentation for the wave, and they're what our product pages now carry. If you read an earlier version of this guide, a couple of the descriptions were looser — Cyborn's kit in particular. This is the corrected version. Four Horsemen also note that final paint and certain details may vary from the prototype images, which is standard language for a preorder this far out but worth reading literally.

Here's the part that makes this wave unusual. Playmates released eight Skeleton Warriors figures in 1994 — Prince Lightstar, Ursak the Guardian, Grimskull, Baron Dark, Shriek, Dagger, Aracula and Dr. Cyborn — plus the Warhorse and the Skullcycle. A second series was in development in 1995 and cancelled before it shipped. Collector records of that cancelled wave list six planned figures: Bone-Zai, Skull Hawk, Claw, Sting, Talyn, and a Bone Dragon. Cyborn and Aracula are updates of figures you could actually buy in 1994. Bone-Zai and Claw come from the cancelled series, and Four Horsemen say plainly that both are being produced as action figures for the first time ever — thirty-one years after somebody drew them.

When do the Skeleton Warriors figures come out?

Worth being precise here, because the sourcing isn't unanimous. Every one of Four Horsemen's four product pages says mid-2027. Some of the reveal coverage reported early 2027. We're going with mid-2027 because that's the manufacturer's own language, and because a preorder date that slips later is a worse surprise than one that arrives early.

Either way, plan on roughly ten months. This is a Four Horsemen preorder, not a Hasbro street date, and the two work nothing alike: Four Horsemen build against the orders they take, which is exactly why the window exists and why it closes.

We'll update this page when production milestones get announced, and if you preorder from us and the date moves, you'll hear it from a person here before you hear it anywhere else.

The only real pressure here: what we ordered is what exists

There's no chase figure in this wave, no completion mechanic, and nobody is running a countdown clock at you. But there is one genuine constraint, and you should know about it before you decide to think it over.

Four Horsemen manufacture against the orders retailers commit to up front. We placed a fixed quantity on each of the four figures, and once the order window on this wave closes in late September, that number can't be increased. There is no restock on a wave like this — not in six months, not when it ships, not ever. When our allocation is gone, the page says sold out and stays that way, and the only remaining option is the aftermarket at aftermarket prices.

We ordered deep on this wave — Four Horsemen is the line we've bet on hardest, and we intend to be one of the easiest places in the country to get their figures. But deep is not infinite, and Dr. Cyborn in particular is going to move first.

The Legions Build System is the real buying consideration

Nothing forces you to buy all four. What's actually worth thinking about is the build system, because it's the question this community keeps asking.

Yes, these are Legions-compatible. Four Horsemen state it in the copy on all four listings: the figures are built on the Legions Build System, the bodies pop apart — which, in a very good joke on the source material, lets you recreate the cartoon's exploding-and-reassembling skeletons — and the parts mix with other Skeleton Warriors and with Mythic Legions and Cosmic Legions. That question came up more than once in the Mythic Legions Cabal group in the days around the reveal, and it has a straight answer.

The buying consequence: a Skeleton Warriors figure is also a parts donor for your Mythoss shelf, which changes the value math on a $59.99 figure. Dr. Cyborn is the standout here — seven hands in two materials and a wired cape are parts nothing else in the Legions catalog gives you. Collectors were already planning swaps before the preorder opened.

Every figure in the wave, and who it's actually for

Dr. Cyborn

The evil cyber-scientist, and by a clear margin the most-wanted figure in the wave. Across the reveal and ranking threads we read in the Mythic Legions Cabal group and on r/MythicLegions and r/CosmicLegions, Cyborn was named first more often than the other three combined — including by collectors who owned him in 1994 and by collectors who'd never heard of the line and just liked the concept. "A cyborg skeleton?? Awesome" is a fair summary of the reaction.

He's also the loadout champion of the three standards: seven hands, four weapons, and a wired soft-goods cape. The wire matters — it's the difference between a cape that hangs and a cape that poses.

Verdict: If you buy one figure from this wave, buy this one. It's the strongest sculpt, the deepest accessory count, and the most useful parts donor. Preorder Dr. Cyborn.

Claw

The bestial hunter, held back and revealed after the other three, and the one that produced the single loudest reaction we saw — a collector on r/MythicLegions calling the headsculpt "NASTY RAD" and saying he might like it more than Aracula. Claw was designed for Playmates' cancelled 1995 series and never produced, and Four Horsemen now say directly that this is the first time the character has ever been available as a figure. When we first wrote this page we hedged that claim because it wasn't in writing anywhere. It is now.

Dual blaster pistols, a large claw grabber, a hammer, three sets of hands and a removable fur attachment. Good kit for a $59.99 standard.

One honest caveat, because it came up: the orange colorway isn't universal. At least one collector liked the design and specifically wished he weren't orange. Look at the prototype photos before you commit.

Verdict: Buy. Second-strongest figure in the wave, and the one most likely to be hard to find later if Wave 1 does well. Preorder Claw.

Aracula (Deluxe)

The nostalgia pick, and the reason a lot of people are in at all. Aracula came up over and over as the figure collectors actually owned in 1994 — one described riding the Warhorse with Aracula instead of Baron Dark, which is the kind of detail you don't invent. He's also the only figure here that's meaningfully bigger: 8" tall, ~51 points of articulation, four sets of hands, and removable armor.

He's $64.99 at MSRP against $59.99 for the standards. For the extra height, the extra hands and the removable armor, that's a defensible five dollars.

Verdict: Buy if the 1994 figure meant something to you, or if you want the visual anchor of the group. Skip if you're buying purely on parts value — Cyborn gives you more usable pieces for less. Preorder Aracula.

Bone-Zai

This is the one the community genuinely splits on, and we'd rather say that than pick a side. Like Claw, he's a cancelled-1995 design reaching production for the first time.

On one hand: he was somebody's outright favorite in the ranking thread, and another collector singled out the base body design as the best in the wave. On the other, he drew the wave's only real criticism — one collector called the blue ninja his least favorite while still buying the whole wave, and another said flatly that the colors and style don't match his Mythic or Cosmic shelves and he has no reason to pick it up.

Both reads are fair. Bone-Zai is the most stylized figure here, and if your display is dark-gothic Mythoss, a blue-and-teal skeleton samurai is going to sit outside it. If you like that the line is a bit garish and cartoon-bright — which is what it actually was in 1994 — he's the purest expression of that.

Verdict: The one to skip if you're only buying two or three. Not because it's a bad figure — it isn't — but because it's the one most likely to look wrong next to what you already own. Check your shelf before you check out. Preorder Bone-Zai.

The All In set and the direct discount: that window has closed

There were no retailer exclusives in this wave in the Hasbro sense — no Walmart figure, no Amazon figure. What existed instead was a Four Horsemen direct offer, and it ended Sunday, August 23 at 11:00pm EDT. For the record, because people are still asking:

• All In — Skeleton Warriors Wave 1 — all four figures plus an exclusive enamel pin with original artwork, $190.00 direct. The pin was only in that bundle, and the bundle is closed. If you didn't order direct, there is no way to get the pin from a retailer, us included. We'd rather tell you that than let you preorder here expecting one.
• The window discount — during the direct window Four Horsemen sold the standards at $45.00 and Aracula at $55.00. That pricing is over. Everyone is at MSRP now.

When we first published this guide we told you outright that ordering direct during the window was cheaper than ordering from us, and that if you knew exactly what you wanted and wanted the pin, you should go direct. That was the honest answer then. It stopped being true on Sunday night.

What's left is the part that was always ours: MSRP with no preorder markup, and a preorder that doesn't take your money for ten months.

If you're only buying some of them

1. Dr. Cyborn — most-named figure across every venue we checked, best accessory count of the three standards, most useful parts donor.
2. Claw — the reveal that got the loudest reaction, and a design being produced for the first time.
3. Aracula (Deluxe) — the nostalgia anchor and the biggest figure, at a five-dollar premium that's honestly earned.
4. Bone-Zai — genuinely divisive. Buy it if the bright, campy read of the line appeals to you; skip it if your shelf is dark and gothic.

Flip that order if you're buying to kitbash rather than to display. Cyborn stays at the top, but Bone-Zai's base body and Aracula's four sets of hands become the most interesting things in the wave, and Claw's fur attachment is the least reusable piece here.

One more thing worth knowing before you decide how deep to go. Four Horsemen have been open that how far this line goes depends on how Wave 1 sells — the rest of the original skeletons, the human heroes, the other unproduced designs, and the Bone Dragon that Playmates drew in 1995 and never built. The wish list among collectors is already specific, and Grimskull and the Bone Dragon lead it. We can't promise you that's exactly how the decision gets made. But if you want it, the vote is placed with a preorder.

What we have right now, and how our preorders work

All four figures are open for preorder here as of this morning. They're at our Skeleton Warriors: Infinite Legions collection — $59.99 for Dr. Cyborn, Bone-Zai and Claw, $64.99 for the deluxe Aracula, MSRP across the board with no preorder markup.

Here's the part that actually distinguishes us, and it matters more on a ten-month preorder than on almost anything else we sell:

Why that matters here specifically: one collector, weighing whether to buy in, put it about as well as it can be put — Four Horsemen release so much that there's basically a preorder every month, and you have to be selective. That's a real constraint on a real budget. A preorder that doesn't take your money until the box is moving lets you say yes to this wave without deciding today what you're giving up in November.

What else you get: a human who emails you if the date moves instead of an automated delay notice, and figures inspected on arrival before they ship to you. If something arrives wrong, you talk to us, not a queue.

Everything else we stock from Four Horsemen — Mythic Legions, Cosmic Legions and the Legion Builders — is at our Four Horsemen Studios collection, and everything currently open for preorder across all lines is at Featured Preorders.

We update this guide as the wave develops — when production milestones land, when the ship window firms up, and when figures sell out. If you spot something here that's out of date or wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.
