I for one love all the new IP we're getting. It's not the 50th company that's gotten the Ninja Turtles license and is and is releasing their own version of the main four turtles. It's not Hasbro giving us our 500th Wolverine or Spider-Man. It's people telling new stories and giving us new characters that we can interact with, and attach ourselves to. It leads to new stories new Innovations, and creates an easier jumping on point for new fans.

I read it as "excess"Ray . Being Greek names I imagine these sound "tahlohs" and "Kahsohs". For new IPS I get them if I like it and I kinda fudge into something I already collect, like Castlevania for monsters

Bro, good on you with the Greek translation!! We are really close in our translations. You said Tahlohs and I said "Taalas". Those names are phonetically only separated by a vowel... which means essentially the same word (to really oversimplify it). I'm stoked someone else got it! ...and, youre the only other person Ive seen give an answer! LOL! Sik

For a new IP, I really like how it looks. The muscle sculpt, paint and even articulation impresses me. Not even comparing to Hasbro, Tamashii Nations sometimes couldn't even give ab crunch without exposing huge gap in the torso from the front or back. Imagine if the bull head is customised into a Broly, it would look so good with this body.

Xesray figures all can be taken apart (theoretically) to take off all the armor/clothing and also to mix and match parts when on the same buck. Same with the initial offering of male gladiators, and same with the newer female gladiators. Obviously same with the minos. I don't really like their double-elbows, but as far as articulations go, they really do try to push the limits without involving stuff like drop down hips. I see them as a highly-articulated Mythic Legions. I have the female gladiators and the yellow mino and love them. They're going into viking figures and mythical druid type figures next, and that's very exciting.

Aside from the French version of the name "Thales", there really isn't a right or wrong answer per se, because it's a name from ancient Greece and we don't know exactly how they pronounced words. However, if you're talking about tte French incarnation of the name, it's pronounced Tahl, or Taal, because there is no "th" sound in the French language and also, "es" at the end of a name/word, is silent. I personally (knowing a bit about linguistics and phonetics) believe the Greeks pronounced it like Tall-es. So, I reckon via provided info, his name is pronounced either "Taal" in french, or in ancient Greek its probably "Taalez", or "Taaless. The one thing I AM certain of, is that it's NOT, pronounced the exact way it's spelled, like "Thayullz" (it's very hard to try annunciating via text. Lol!). I know that's a long answer, but you asked for a non guess and that's about as good as I think anyone besides the person who made the figure could answer! Lol! 😅 Sik

generally I don't get new IPs. I originally only collected figures that were video game related, but further branched out some from there. The only new IP that I started collecting is the FurRay Planet figures. They are so good and look amazing and are just unique and cool, so I couldn't resist. This guy almost fits in with them as well, so I may consider getting this. Only thing I'm not liking about the FurRay Planet figures is they are getting a bit too Eastern inspired characters. I was loving the Crocodile and Wolf and like the others, but want some that are not just ninja/samurai style
