Damn Skelly, I think you make my favorite reviews for the Joytoy figures. They contain everything I expect: some artistically lit shots, an in-depth discussion of the figure and pointing out of the flaws, appropriate size comparisons and, last but not least, real-time posing. Yet again I was on the fence, and seeing how the figure strikes some cool poses won me over. Joytoy should really think about at least sending you some review samples cause your reviews represent their product very accurately :) I think I'm going to get Tybestis and turn him into Martellus of the Blood Ravens...
Uncle Sheo! Thank you for the words of encouragement, brother. I try to inject the things that I enjoy from others and add a quirky skelly spin! Lol cheers, yes, I would love to receive more from Joytoy. They actually sent me a box of stuff before Christmas. I did an unboxing on the channel and vids of the first Jianghu and Orks. I've still yet to do a standalone vid of the UM Redemptor they sent, just thinking of a unique way to do it as there are tons of videos that already cover the bases. I very much look forward to seeing the results of your Techmarine conversion! Even with the issues I had, he's easily one of my faves this year so far
Great review! I got this guy in the mail the other day together with the custodes terminators.... The custodes are freaking awesome and a personal fav of mine, but this guy is on another level. He looks and feels so amazing i just can't keep my eyes and hands off him, he lives as my desktop **joy toy** basically :D
Cheers mate! Got my Custodes the other day. Definitely lookers! Techmarine is sublime. I'm the same, he's never too far off from me to play about with. Such a great figure!
Another great Video! BTW Dark Angels 4-man Intercessor squad dropped! It's probably a repaint but tis finally DAs! 2 new Templars also. Wonder if they will do a DA repaint on Templar crusaders. I got the full refund on Calgar without return because of the missing bits but then found a place to order original parts from super cheap. Oh, and man you were right about Captain Tor Garadon, absolutely fantastic piece! The sheer size! I think his head sculpt is the most realistic detail, eyes that follow you and razor fine sculpting. I think I like him even more than my Crowe who is also a stellar piece. Cheers!
Thanks mate! DAs are looking good. Oh nice! Great result with Calgar in the end. Oh yes! Garadon and Crowe are two of the best from last year. The Techmarine is the best of this year so far for me. Great work even though I had some quality control issues
I just got this guy and the iron priest. Both are great. I can't decide which I like best. I also am having a hard time choosing which head to use on my tech marine - both look amazing!
Yeah, I think both figures are stellar. I think maybe Techmarine edges it slightly for me, due to more available articulation at the waist and torso. Can't go wrong with either head!
Ahh I think AC Studio had the same happen with his. Mine is loose but hasn't come off yet. Maybe only a matter of time lol but yeah, even with my issues, this is a cracking figure!
Hello Skelly, it's unexpected that your Techmarine figure has QC issues, while mine doesn't. It's reminiscent of both of our Shadowsun video reviews, where my figure had several issues, while yours had none. It's always intriguing to see different reviews by others. Anyway, the Techmarine is my favourite Joytoy Warhammer figures up to this point!
AC! Yes, mate, I checked out both your vids too. I'm the same! it's a testament to Joytoy that even after quality control issues, I still think this is some of their best work and in fact, probably my favourite release of theirs too! I really like the fact that their Warhammer line fits with my normal 1/18 collection, but the Techmarine in particular, has a versatile design that lends itself to other sci-fi settings. Ultimately, the look, accessories and solid performance with articulation really puts this above the rest!
I really slowed down on 40k with all the repaints but this figure is excellent. Great in hand and one of the best they've done. Shelf presence is top notch.
It took a while to release this figure but I see it was well worth - I was really scared to find another Ultramarine Librarian! But I see that JT has been improving their manufacturing process steadily, latest sisters of battle, black templars, and custodes are so cool and only minor issues! Sadly this means that they will keep bleeding my wallet white with these and other upcoming figures (anybody talks about terminators, chaplains, and dark angels?) Thanks for you reviews - they are both informative and enjoyable!
Yes, I'm glad Joytoy took the time out to really do the Techmarine justice. Let's hope that the days of the Librarian are well and truly behind us! Oh gosh, the never ending release schedule has me worried got my sanity lol I've been trying to keep to named canon characters, but failing miserably. Thank you, brother Mario, for the encouraging words. Really appreciated🙏 💀
Skelly, Thank you for these reviews!! I hardly ever buy 1/18 figures. But based on your reviews I think I'm going to start getting some of these space marines! Your posts are always zee bomb
Thank you brother Modesto! Yes, if you're gonna get into these marines, this Techmarine is a great figure to get, even if this is the only one you pick up.
@@SkellywagsTV Skelly, my addiction will does not allow me to recognize the phrase "only one you pick up" lol. When I buy this amazing looking figure it will be the start of a buying spree lol!!
Lol yes, agreed! The usual visual aids and vigorous hand gestures simply wasn't working, but eventually it got stiff. The Consortium needs to assemble! Bank holiday weekend perhaps? Any Warrior vids on the Horizon?
@@SkellywagsTV Yes I did. they reviewed the pic that i sent them, and they told me they will send the missing axe when it's ready at their warehouse cz they send out missing parts in batches. so i don't know how long i will have to wait..
Lol I really like them now. Joytoy have improved the range from the initial releases where the arms were popping off. When I've compared it to 1.0, the lateral raise on more recent marines have been the same or better. Plus, the pull out arm mechanic for 1.0 really didn't do much and looks terrible. 1.0 is definitely easier for customs though
what is QC lol
Quality Control lol gonna pin this for others!

@@SkellywagsTV oh, that's right, you did get a box from them. It should be more regular :)
Ough, filming a Redemptor must be tough, too. Good luck!
Yes, agreed lol cheers man, yeah it's such a nice piece I wanna do it justice

This is a very cool figure. The gun looks like mr. freeze’s ice gun.🥶💀
Very cool figure! The gun will probably melt a face off though 🥵💀

Got mine this week too, small niggle with the drill arm bolt being able to fall out, but what a figure.

Oh yes, totally agreed! I think this figure would be my recommendation for anyone looking to pick up just one 40k figure. Very impressive!

Hahaha then, my friend, it seems you and I share something in common
I like this video so much, the Chaos Havoc looks amazing,thanks🥰
Thanks a lot my friend! I will do a vid on that figure soon! I picked up a couple more Chaos figures, so will do them together 💀💀🙏
That one was on my list, but it never got on special on aliexpress and now it is mostly sold out !
They had some great deals on Ali. Picked up a couple chaos figs and Thunderwolf
Nothing worse then getting something that is floppy and flaccid. Glad to see that you were able to harden it up.
Lol yes, agreed! The usual visual aids and vigorous hand gestures simply wasn't working, but eventually it got stiff. The Consortium needs to assemble! Bank holiday weekend perhaps? Any Warrior vids on the Horizon?
😂
Late to the party, but it's the "Omnissian power axe"
Cheers mate! Yeah, someone rise mentioned that in the comments too. Better late than never!
Brother skelly !!!! Excellent as per usual
Many thanks brother Jaggy! Always appreciated good sir
great review as always
Thank you mate! Always appreciate you taking the time to support and comment
Mine arrived with no axe right out of the box.
Ouch! Damn, my QC issues don't sound so bad now. Did you request the missing axe from your seller?
@@SkellywagsTV Yes I did. they reviewed the pic that i sent them, and they told me they will send the missing axe when it's ready at their warehouse cz they send out missing parts in batches. so i don't know how long i will have to wait..
Hopefully you don't have to wait too long!
I will never forgive Joytoy for changing the pauldrons and hindering the shoulder articulation
Lol I really like them now. Joytoy have improved the range from the initial releases where the arms were popping off.

grav pistol
I thought it might be. Looks more impressive than others. Do you know what the axe is called?
@@SkellywagsTV Omnissian Axe same as mars tech priest but for space marine use
Now that is a cool name! Ah yeah, one of the episodes I watched of Hammer & Bolter had a character using it too
@@SkellywagsTV only tech priests and marines are given them. They are also a holy icon and multi tool
Yeah that makes sense. Great looking weapon!
