They were trying to get old rich customers with money to burn interested. It’s a lot of plastic, but it’s a derpy simple design that should be no more than $50 tops
Yeah. There's trying to get customers with money to burn and then there's this...
$300 could get you something actually good like a DX VF-1 or something.
Well, if there are suckers that are actually paying $380 for these things, good on Toynami for finding people to bilk. 😁

...And over $300 for that awkward of a sculpt AND wheels on the feet!? I get what Jenius said and where they're maybe coming from, but if I was a little kid and got this, I'd be singing the Sesame Street song "Which one of these is not like the other...?" At that cost point too! Wait, I already said that😁
Maybe I'm just to much of a realist - as much as I like "campy" things. - MT
Holy crap! 😮 I was like what's this $300 item he's talking about? Then I realized you were talking about the above toy which I thought was only maybe $15-20 and I thought I was being generous with that estimation. What drugs were they taking and in what vast quantities?

My money's on them going for "Little Horus" Aximand instead.
He too has a miniature, but unlike Garvi he stays with the Sons until his death during the Siege.
Yeah, pretty positive they'll make him. Aside from Abaddon, they're kind of lacking in the named SoH characters at the moment. IF at least has Sigi and Faf.

Considering his role in the story, I doubt Garvi's going to show up as part of the Joytoy Sons of Horus line.
He only spends the first three books of the sixty-four book Horus Heresy series as a member of the XVI Legion. Most of his appearances in the series are as one of Malcador's Knights Errant, the Legion-less group of Astartes that carried out various special operations on the Sigilite's orders and later...
... took on new names and became the first Grand Masters of the Grey Knights...
... shortly before the start of the Siege of Terra.
It was only after the Knights Errant were disbanded that he started painting his armor again, and went back to using the colors of the pre-Heresy Luna Wolves during the Siege.
If a Garviel Loken figure is coming, it'll probably be either in the Knights Errant marking-less gray armor or in old Luna Wolves white.
Even so, given that there is an official mini for him, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility.

Guessed you missed the VF-1S releases....
Indeed I have and I don't feel like I missed out on anything worthwhile. 😀

Apparently, the fist gets bigger after you shoot.
That's amazing! They must use some actual "robotechnology" in the making of this toy! 😁

Thanks for posting! They made that Valk with shooting fists!? I think they got their series confused!? Talk about shooting someone "the bird"🤣 - MT
LOL
I didn't even notice the ejectable fists until you mentioned it. Where the heck did they pull that from? This isn't Mazinger!
And this is an officially licensed toy?

Kind of, this is an old pict but the force hasn't really changed much outside some additions. Like this 'monster'
That KX139 painted up like that does seem very similar to the VB-6 Konig Monster. Very nice!

More Sons of Horus stuff from Joytoy revealed during Toyfair and up for pre-order.
Disappointed that they haven't done Garviel Loken yet. Hoping he's coming at some point.

Just noticed this thread. Does anyone here play, or it just about the Joytoy figures?
It's about all things WH40k.
Tabletop wargaming is not really my thing, so I never played. Played a bit of space hulk way back though.
The very first Dawn of War game was what got me into WH40k and I dug into the lore and such after.
I liked the minis and thought about collecting them, but the size and fixed poses turned me off on the idea.
The JoyToy stuff was perfect for what I wanted, though I didn't start collecting until Roboute came out which gave me the push to start.
Before that, I had gotten a couple of the early McFarlane intercessors, but they just didn't do it for me when I got them in hand.

Interesting, I honestly wasn't expecting to see them roll out something from that grand tome we call Codex: Australian Wildlife... er... Codex: Tyranids.
It looks like they've done a great job with the sculpts as always, though the color scheme from the cover of the Codex is definitely one of the less interesting/appealing ones. 🤔
It was probably inevitable since they they were doing the space marine portion of the Leviathan box set with the new terminators, Agemman, librarian, chaplain, and sternguard. So now they're doing the other half of it with the nids. Hopefully they sell well because it's nice to have more than just SM.
Yeah, the sculpts are great and I think they've done a good job of hiding the joints. The colors aren't quite right for Hive Fleet Leviathan though which is strange because normally they do a good job matching the colors to those of the official minis. The overall skin should be more pinkish. The gun shouldn't really be the same color as the skin. Not quite the right purple for the carapace either, but good enough I suppose. I expect that I will need to fix the colors when I get them.

JoyToy finally revealed their first space bugs.

How does Retributor Armor "brush"? Many gold paints lately (looking at you, Vallejo) are very "sticky" and horrible to use, even if the color is nice.
Might need to thin it a bit. If I had to do it again, I would probably just thin it enough to airbrush it on as my paint brushing skills are not the best. I recently got some Citadel contrast medium and it seems to help the citadel paints flow better as well when brushing.
Small are touchups like I did in my pic should be fine. Doing something like a whole strip, I'd probably use my airbrush.

That nose gear looks awfully far forward, but I couldn't quickly/easily find any references for it.
Here's a pic with it partly out. It does seem pretty far forward, but not nearly as far forward as it appears to be on the toy.

I recently picked up a 19 page Mospeada pre-production marketing art booklet on one of the Japanese auctions sites for a whopping $20
Included is an early description of what the series was going to be about, and it had some very early (Feb 83) pre-prod designs (Diver mode was referenced as Gerwalk in the text block...since what the hell is a 'diver'...but they knew Gerwalk from Macross lol. It is noted as Diver in the actual Art)
Note the extra large cannons and the early helmet designs n the Ride-Armor, and the rounded heels and rectangular intakes on the Legioss.
These are a right about the time of the awesome set released by Roger Harkavy in the "Imai Files" collection.

Example of little differences-notice the earlier B&W version (feb) vs the awesome colorized from Roger (march)
Wow, that's a really nice find. Some nice art in there. That's pretty funny they actually listed gerwalk in there.

Apparently a new UM terminator chaplain is also coming.
I like this one a whole lot better than the other termie chaplain JoyToy has already released.

Is this a new issue? Wonder if it's the scan or if Arcadia are going with the darker green?
I was wondering that too. I really hope it's darker like that. It looks better that way, imo.

Got my IF despoiler squad and a breacher with the graviton gun. They looked pretty good already, but I decided to do a bit more with them. Joytoy said it wasn't feasible to have their workers paint up all the studs and such, so I took it upon myself to do that. Painted up the studs on the armor for the despoiler marines and made my first attempt at painting a plasma pistol because it didn't look right by default.
I think the extra effort makes these guys stand out more.

I posted this in the SV-262 thread, but figured I'll put it here too just in case.
Gold touch up for SV-262hs
-
This comes very late, but coincidentally while painting something else with Citadel Paint - Retributor Armor, it came to my mind that it looked just like the gold used on Keith's SV-262. I had one that had a lot of the gold that was scuffed off and tried applying some to it. It is nearly identical.
I repainted that whole area outlined in the black box on both sides of where it separates and I think most people would have a hard time distinguishing it from the rest of the gold on the 262.
Just a tip if there's anyone else that had the gold scuff off or peeled off with the protective plastic right out of the box and wanted to do some touch ups.

I don’t know, I would have preferred the new Terminator and Deathwing Knights GW released recently than those old sculpts.
Pretty sure they're coming eventually. I do want those inner circle ones with the new helmets.
In other news, they announced a few days ago the 10th edition Leviathan box set terminators including UM 1st Captain Agemman, the librarian terminator, and some terminators including the sgt with the teleport homer. The helmet sculpts have been fixed so they're not so small looking and more detail have been added to the legs. They are also a little bigger than the Deathwing termies.
-
Yeah, I mean it's based on the same source material so there's bound to be a lot of similarities, However, they don't look to be using the same gimmicks like the twist down of the intake turbine sections to allow the arms to slide forward or the fact that it looks like these allow the pilots to exit out of the front hatch. Kind of looks like it has a mid-thigh swivel also which the Sentinel versions don't have.

Wow, these markups are brutal. They're skipping the scalpers by doing it themselves.

Okay, this is pretty awesome. Joytoy revealed Leviathan dreads for IF and SoH. At 1/18 scale, these are going to be pretty massive.
The Redemptor dreads were done very well and had a lot of presence on the shelf and I expect these to be similar in that regard also.
