So the reason Lombast is a bit fancier looking in his accoutrements than the other Sword Brethren is because he's a Castellan (a rank equivalent to a Lieutenant in other chapters), that's also why he comes with the auto-plasma.
@@datamag2018yes, do it! Brilliant figure and one of the best unhelmeted heads joytoy have done. This one along with Nadael have raised the bar with the quality of the paint apps on the heads
I saw the promo pics for Lombast and Nadel and thought, “No way they actually look that good, considering what the old unhelmeted heads look like.” Wow, they actually do look that good! The ones I was tempted to buy were Lombast and the Dark Angel with the black hair that looks like a boy band member. These guys are way too pretty to be Space Marines, considering the bald or flat top guys we usually get!
Yeah, same. Even the latest Raven Guard unhelmeted head for Colvane wasn't as good as the promo pics. These two are actually on par with their promo images. I was also tempted by the boyband DA, but had to limit my spending :( Haha yeah they definitely have a more pretty boy look. They need to see more of the battlefield!
these are all priced out for me for now, but, its amazing to me the improvements Joytoy keeps making on nearly every new figure they produce. Crazy when you think of the reuse other companies use for each figure. I know ive said that before but it is great for the collectors. Awesome vid. Thanks buddy and hope you and the family are great!!!
Hey Gunnar, yeah, it's an addictive and expensive hobby! Joytoy show no signs of slowing down, so as much as I'd like more myself, I'm just getting a few bits still here and there. The improvements are really appreciated, they just need to do some sort of accessories pack. Thanks mate, you too!
Cheers mate! It's good to limit your collection as much as possible, otherwise you end up knee deep in toys like me, and make irresponsible decisions lol
Great video! You are not lying about that Arc trooper. It’s sold out everywhere so far. I bit off a little more than I can chew with the Corvus Belli figures, I got the whole set 😂. Great videos again good sir
I know, right? I swear, one day I saw the Arc trooper in a few places, then checked again and all sold out! Star Wars fans love their army builders. Lol I nearly went for the lot for the marauders as well, but the almighty budget told me NO! I'm gonna fit him into one of my other teams as a heavy duty specialist
@@SkellywagsTV Yes Sir! Thank the lord for that good ole Budget bug lol I will be stripping at least one of the bucks for parts! The hands on them are great.
Gotta love how JoyToy were able to negotiate licensing rights without the need to print "MINE, MINE, MINE" in plain sight like Hasbro. I got two if the Infinity rangers myself (the other 2 are still in transit) and, some head articulation hindering aside, they are much nicer than I was expecting. Not overly futuristic, they can be integrated as some special units with many contemporary military figures. One thing I don't like about them is the total lack of weathering on the weapons. As for brother Nadael's unhelmeted head, I can't help seeing a (even more) very pissed off Jason Statham :))
Lol that is so true. I had to check a space marine and low and behold, zero markings! Yeah, I like the Infinity figure a lot more than I thought I would. It really tugs on those Joytoy nostalgia strings, and why I started to collect them in the first place. It's also great to see Joytoy do something so familiar with all the improvements from the last few years but implemented in a licensed product. Agreed on the weapons, they do look a bit plain. Hahaha I thought Nadael looked familiar. Now that I've seen it, I won't be able to unsee it!
@@SkellywagsTV Imagine the absolute unit Nadael must be running on a battlefield in a hospital nightgown with his butt in sight, yelling "FOR THE GOD EMPEROR!!!" (I assume you've seen Crank)! Now that would be shock and awe for the enemy!
@@SkellywagsTV ah dang I knew I should’ve pre-ordered! And oh your own Snake Eyes? That’s awesome dude! I was hoping they’d make more characters in that style, can’t wait for the video man!
Hiya Snake Eyes looks like the definitive version in 1/18. If it's any good, I'm gonna ask cool toys club if they'll get anymore Cobra Commander, and I'll probably pick up Stormshadow too
Here's hoping! Hiya stuff has been hit and miss really. Yeah the price is much more reasonable than ARW lol speaking of Acid Rain, got my Gauntlet and Black Sand squad in today. Gonna crack'em open in a bit!
Yeah, they're new and lowered prices a bit more to drive traffic. But those prices probably won't last. They've already had to reduce my discount code from 15% to 5%. Also, they charge for delivery, so you should check and compare the total cost. I've been back and forth with the owner though, she seems really nice
These Dark Angels are atrocious for a colorblind guy like me, my eyes can't decide if he is some shade of green or grey... either way, kinda meh for me and a bit frustrating
Lol I'd say it's a deep marine green... maybe. I'm not too good with colours either. I had the same issue with the Space Wolves and thinking: is it light baby blue or grey? I'm definitely gonna add a Maxbird cape to Nadael. The headsculpt is just superb!
Templar are dissapinting.. they are shorter than the regular 2.0 intercessors...they have shorter legs and shorter midsections..while the torso is bulkier...wtf nobody asked for this hight change? why do JT fuck up some otherwise perfect figures?
So the reason Lombast is a bit fancier looking in his accoutrements than the other Sword Brethren is because he's a Castellan (a rank equivalent to a Lieutenant in other chapters), that's also why he comes with the auto-plasma.
Ah nice! I see. Makes sense. Cheers for the info, makes him that much more badass
I love Lombast, I have been admiring him from afar, but he's go to be added to my collection ASAP!
@@datamag2018yes, do it! Brilliant figure and one of the best unhelmeted heads joytoy have done. This one along with Nadael have raised the bar with the quality of the paint apps on the heads

Hasbro has been doing a good job with thier 3.75 inch figures lately.
Yes they have! Changing the hip articulation is the best thing Hasbro could've done for TVC

Great review, brother. That JoyToy Marauders figure looks awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
CP! Yeah, Joytoy did a great job with this first figures from Infinity
Aside from Warhammer I collected block mini fig of star wars and I love the black series... Nice vid skulley

@@SkellywagsTV 🍻
Always a good day seeing you having fun and enjoying your toys, Skelly!
Nice one, Sir Leon! Yeah, toy days are always days of fun! And some good ones at that

Not bad, awesome review!
Thanks JD. Appreciate it mate
So many figures so little time.Remember stay healthy.(This week I had to learn the hard way.)
Yup, sooooo many! Trying to my friend. What happened, everything OK?
@@SkellywagsTV bad kidneys and high blood pressure.
Ahh man. I had a blood test today, the Mrs wanted me to. Take care mate, do what you need to stay healthy!
Great review thanks for sharing
Lolife! Cheers mate. Hasbro and Joytoy knocking it out of the park at the moment
Did you ever pick up the Cobra Commander from Hiyatoys? It looked so good and I forgot to pre-order and this video reminded me.
Hasn't come out yet, but the pre-order has sold out through cool toys club! My Snake Eyes is on the way though
@@SkellywagsTV ah dang I knew I should’ve pre-ordered! And oh your own Snake Eyes? That’s awesome dude! I was hoping they’d make more characters in that style, can’t wait for the video man!

@@SkellywagsTV Hell yeah dude! I’ll make sure to pick up all of em, there not to pricey either which is a nice switch up from Acid Rain😓
Here's hoping! Hiya stuff has been hit and miss really. Yeah the price is much more reasonable than ARW lol speaking of Acid Rain, got my Gauntlet and Black Sand squad in today. Gonna crack'em open in a bit!
Great video as always Skelly
Cheers buddy! Always grateful for the support. Are you gonna be picking up any of the Infinity stuff?
@@SkellywagsTV I already have pre order all but the armata mech and the werewolf special team
I've got the wolf double on pre-order, but I'll be picking up a few of the others too
@@SkellywagsTV I want only the werewolf and that’s why I didn’t pre order
Locker Toys parts site was selling the wolf separately. Can't remember the name of the site now lol
Wow nice video Kuya
Cheers you skellywag! Remember: use toys responsibly
Okey hehe
I call my girlfriend skallywag - she does not appreciate it - when she calls me I say " Hello you skallywag"
Maybe she'd prefer SKELLYwag! Lol
where is kowkis store from?
They're located in China
@@SkellywagsTV THNX...it looks too good to be true...prices are extremly low, actually lowest prices ever
Yeah, they're new and lowered prices a bit more to drive traffic. But those prices probably won't last. They've already had to reduce my discount code from 15% to 5%. Also, they charge for delivery, so you should check and compare the total cost. I've been back and forth with the owner though, she seems really nice
@@SkellywagsTV thnx for the answer

Really? Which ones? My Lombast is just a bit bigger, same with Emp champ and the intercessors
@@SkellywagsTV Lombast and Dragen, l,ll send u a pic...where can I send it?
