JoyToy X Warhammer 40K: Grey Knights Brotherhood Terminator Squad - Retius Akantar

The Squad Flagman is one of the Brotherhood Terminators squad series who hold Grey Knights brotherhood banner. Same as the rest of his brothers, he comes with high-quality paintwork, a beautiful design and using a 2.0 body. Articulation is limited as usual (especially the shoulder) but since he is going to hold the banner (heavy) so it is alright. The weapon is the same as Paladin using Nemesis Force Sword.

Transformers Masterpiece: MPM-12 Optimus Prime (Bumblee Bee Movie Version)

To be honest, I never like collecting the Transformers Masterpiece (MP) series and had a very bad experience with the Takara Tomy plastic quality. The reason I have gotten MPM-12 OP in the first place is that when I am at the local TRU toy store during their promotion sales last year, I couldn’t find any interesting toys to buy and some are sold out so I ended up grabbing this one. My $30 coupon is almost expired so better off slashing the price further.

JoyToy X Warhammer 40K: Ultramarines Chapter Master Marneus Calgar

 

Having Chapter Master Marneus Calgar in the collection is a must for Ultramarine. He wears a big-size armour that arms with both a power fist and a built-in bolter. The figure has a bulky design with a beautiful emblem and decoration around the figure's armour plate. However, there are problems with the figure.

Product Information:-

• Brand: JoyToy
• Size: 1/18 Scale Action Figure
• Series: Warhammer 40K
• Space Marine Chapters: Ultramarines Chapter Master Marneus Calgar
• Accessories:
1. 1x Marneus Calgar head
• Release Date: January 2023
• Purchase Price: HKD 530
• JoyToy Retail Price: USD 69.99
• My Rating: 7/10

The common one is very limited articulations. In the Calgar case, the hip joint movement was blocked by the armour causing some problems in posing. Secondly, the paintwork is not as good compared to the Librarian, even to the Grey Knights. My biggest complaint would be the Marneus Calgar head is so poorly done. Looks like it was hastily worked on from the factory and the painting is far too different from the official promo. My eagle decor was affected (on the backpack) with a visible dirty gold colour in the photo.

Thirdly, the ‘Halo’ and the bullets at the bolter cannot be removed. Both of them are directly fixed. I see some community reported the ‘Halo’ is somewhat fragile and can be easily broken.
