Joining JoyToy x Warhammer 40K Craziness

It all started with the PC game. From Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate to Dawn of War II, this is where I started to grow interested in the W40K universe and its story (always watched at YT 😂). I always hoped there will be action toys to collect but back then it was all about the tabletop figures. These hobbies are entirely out of the question and are just freaking expensive hobbies to invest in. Not to mention, you need to paint them. Gunpla is a way cheaper investment. Opsss…I hope I didn’t trigger the W40K fans but hey, it’s the truth 😙.

Getting the action figures is a different story. When it was first announced that JoyToy got the license to produce Warhammer 40K last year, I was filled with joy and happiness seeing the prototype in June 2021. These guys are well-known and produced high-quality action figures. The size of the figure itself is 1:18 scale, which is smaller than both Bandai and McFarlane current released as a 1/10 scale. The price is also in between the two but JoyToy price can go beyond Bandai depending on the W40K character and vehicle we are looking at. So far the Outriders bike is expensive, I rather invest in Dreadnought or tanks.

Originally I started with the McFarlane Toys version (only one, phew!) but the quality and painting are meh. There’s no denying that their price is always affordable and does offer a non-painted version for collectors to customize themselves. Too bad, I am not interested and already put up mine for sales on FB. Yeah, I know. The recent teasing first look of Darktide 40k action figures does look amazingly good. Nonetheless, I choose to stay with JoyToy brand. I may consider buying the Bandai version, depending on my budget and the character they intend to release. But I do hope it’s the Blood Raven because they are my favourite chapter of all.
