    Putting JoyToy lower then MacFarlane because of few paint spills is unfair: some other JT SM may not have it, while McF SM will always be just FLAT. McF space marine is just flat - no shades, no gradients - nothing. Even gold is flat. Also - some JT intersessor sets have bolter, bolt pistol \ plasma pistol and chainsword so, IMHO JT also should win in weapons department.

    • @SpruesNStuds
      @SpruesNStuds  Год назад +5

      Fair argument that you pose. I definitely will take that into consideration if I get the opportunity to compare across action figure lines. I think McF lost their licensing and Bandai barely makes anymore figures so looks like JT is the lone carrier of the torch going forward.

      Joytoy really is the only option now if you want actual armies of these guys. They have 3 friggin' Primarchs already, with Horus just announced the other day. Representation from nearly every major chapter, tons of Chaos Marines, tons of Necrons, Sororitas, vehicles, Death Corps, Custodes; it's crazy to realize that with as many figures as they already have out, they still haven't even touched the Eldar or the Tyrannids.

    I loved this comparison - I can see all of these different models side by side. And, yes I expected Bandai's to stand on top. Yet, since I like my action figures to stand in groups, for me the "army building" metric is also very important. Despite all the QC issues, JT has really hit my sweetspot about Warhammer (and I love their mecha lines too!).

    I am very new to this toy line and found this channel two days ago. I don't know so much about the lore of these characters. But damn, these character designs are so damn awesome. I have been a toy collector for three years and I haven't seen such kind of pretty detailed and painted figure with this cheap prices. Especially the face without helmet, the face sulpts have been done with pretty skin tone and very detailed. Love all of them at first sight. Why I didn't know about their existance sooner?! Anyway nicely detailed review channel, keep going. I don't understand why your videos don't get so many like while there are more views.

      Either way, these action figures are awesome PERIOD and it doesn't matter what manufacturer makes them. All 3 of them excel in their own right. Don't worry about the lore of these figures as the Warhammer 40K universe is huge. Just pick up whatever is cool looking to you and then you can slowly learn about the lore behind them.
      I hope you enjoy your stay here!

      I think the White Scars and Ultramarine Captain in Gravis armor came after that (that thing was insane though, I think it had a $240 preorder price). There is a Blood Angels one for preorder now; I personally don't think it looks great, and it is even more overpriced (although at least Bandai finally made a chainsword).
      Joytoy is just dominating though. Announced Horus Luprecal coming just the other day, 3 Primarchs already, freaking Dreadnaughts and Dreadknights, Black Legion out the wazoo, and friggin' Death Corps of Krieg. There's really just no beating them. Bandai will never come even close to catching up (and a Bandai Primarch would probably cost $500 or something stupid).

    I never see that Bandai figure at my own, so maybe im wrong, but I feel too much "clean" for a warrior space marine, anyway looks great in your videos.
    About McFarlane Warhammer series, all i can see in my own, is just the opossite, feel so much "dirty" , wear and tear... and really bad finished considering his huge dimensions, letting the buyer the real painting job, i dont like.
    For example that MF bolter at same level vs Joytoy in your review? Really ? Being honest is just a primer spray bolter, zero job xD. JoyToy WH weapons are really cool, but just that pistol not soo, agree Bandai looks better.
    Bandai really looks cool for a big figure, far better than MF, but in another league compared to JT series, for me the better look, more equilibrated colors, little details and insane WH stuff to choose, JoyToy is my undisputted winner.

Few McFarlen toys popped up at my local toychain for 20eur but only like 3 figures to chose and i recently discovered those JoyToy (and your channel) and those are 40eur for the basic fig, 60-90eur for more special and 150eur for some main characters or really big figures
    2) collectibility aspect - how much other figures in the same line are available - i dont know about McFarlen but i see the JoyToy is like taking all the characters from WH40K and slowly turning them into action figures - also there are tons of variations for many figures - just spent over 300eur for my first batch from the JoyToy line

    Hi. First off, the Bandai looks very plastic! Not real. Very expensive. He looks so plastic, child's toy like Buzz Lightyear! Second: Do you think Joy Toy is the same as McFarlane!? The figure of McFarlane can only be called normal when it is painted (Customization.)! McFarlane's jetpack is no good. The fit to the armor. Joy Toy has a realistic look! Acceptable without painting! Weathered look. There is no plastic impact. I've seen some really nice Custom figures at McFarlane figures. But, you have to work on them a lot! That's it in short...

Either way, these videos of this type that I make are extremely subjective, but at least they serve as a conversation starter if not a reference for people to see these figures side by side.

      Haha, you already know that I am poking fun at the UM like most non-UM lovers do. It's all in good fun but that being said, I do like the Bandai one minus the anime look to them. Every single one of these action figure manufacturers have a different take on the figures so it is nice to see what each company comes up with in the end.
