To be honest, this joy toy seemed floppy, even tho I have many of them and love the brand. This McFarlane one has more paint than most of their line, so it was kinda strange but a right score
@@slowboy89 McFarlane is cleaner, with the details where it needs them to be. I mean, off course it has less paint overall, but the thing with this particular joytoy is that it got floppy. Little less paint where it didn't need it would have been better.
@@thestranger9265 I mean I just disagree with you and the video, I think even the line work is better on the Joy Toy. The colors, the shading, there isn't a category that the joy toy doesn't beat the macfarlane in my opinion.
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.
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.
Honestly with how Joytoy has been pumping out new Ultramarine army-builders and other Space Marine Chapters like almost every couple weeks, it makes McFarlane’s lineup look like A JOKE in comparison! There is NO WAY that Mcfarlane will be able to keep up with the amount of Space Marine variety that Joytoy has provided us!:3
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.
"The Joy Toy looks absolutely comical" Uh, yeah. It's called different scales...? Joy Toy's paint being ranked the worst-- what? McFarlane has 1 shade of blue and 1 shade of orange for the armor...
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!). Thanks for this video!
No problem and thank you for being an awesome member of the chapter! I will say that out of all 3 of the manufacturers of WH40K action figures, I am very biased towards JT due to the fact that they balance cost and faithfulness to the miniature to a fine art (but you already know this haha).
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.
Well welcome on into the channel! I am glad the RUclips algorithm directed you over here. Thank you for your support of the channel and as to why not more people watch my videos...well I suppose I also have to thank the YT algorithm for that one too lol! 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!
With Bandai they use colors that catches your eyes joytoy toy is miniature accurate and McFarlane needs help but nice to customize all is good and have there place
I wish next time they do Ultramarines with battle damages because when it's too clean, look too much like a toy (I know they are, but have some realistic details would make them nicer)
I assume that you are talking about the Bandai one correct? I suppose that you can think the Bandai marine is in ceremonial armor as the UM is all about that ceremonial armor...I mean take a look at their honor guard
@@SpruesNStuds I talk about all of them, make a UM / blood angels or whatever with battle damages, armor broken etc ... but maybe people love to have something clean as a figure so it would not be sold a lot I had this idea because I saw an ironman (marvel) with damages and it looks also nice
There is one thing in life that I've learned is that you can't make everyone happy with a release. There's always somebody that is going to complain about something. I suppose if people are inclined, they can paint their figures too look however they want right?
Unfortunately, Bandai doesn't seem to be making 40k figures anymore. Unless I missed something over the last couple of years. I have the Salamander they released, but I don't think there's been anything since then
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).
Joytoy hands down is just solid all the way around. I like Bandai's color of gold, but the McFarlane and Bandai are just too much like toys they're too shiny, Joytoy knocks it out of the park with the realism and it's probably $35-40.
In my opinion, Bandai looks too much like a robot, it stand out because they use extremely flashy colors to catch your eye, McFarlane looks too weird and cheap, also colors are super flat and those mold markings are so off, as tho as JoyToy have QC problems, for me it stands on top of the other two, its so close to a painted mini and all the variety between models and chapters gets me more into them, also the accessories in some of them are so good like the those terminator hammers, in the end i would definitely go with joytoy
You have made a proper assessment fellow WH40K enjoyer! A lot of people given the chance of picking up either Bandai, JT, or McF WH40K action figure will pick up one from JT. JT is also my personal preference too on action figures
I noticed that the joy toy model has a different shoulder pad design on the left shoulder. There is an additions step on the shoulder pad compared to the smooth shoulder pad of the bandai one. Is there any significance to this?
Hey bro can you tell me how tall they are ( each one ) in cm ? I want to buy " some " but is really hard to choose ( i love all 😅) thank bud New sub by the way
There is a time and a place for all 3 figures for sure. It sucks that McF 3 year license has run out and it appears that it was not renewed so we are stuck with JT and the very rare releases from Bandai (if any).
I like your video but cant agree whit ur criteria, especially about colors, bigger is much easy to paint. Of course its objective. 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. Sorry my bad english, have a great day!
No worries on your English! I appreciate you coming in and commenting and leaving your point of view in a calm manner. People don't agree on everything but it's nice to talk things out. I am not going to disagree with you in that JoyToy is really good. In most cases, I would say that JoyToy wins in terms of balancing cost, the look of the action figure, and their faithfulness to the miniature. Either way, welcome to the chapter and I hope you enjoy your stay!
Im missing the: 1) price parameter - was mentioned somehow at the end. 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
I have most of the mcfarlane 40K figures. they do have their issues but they're fun figures, plus they're so much cheaper than the other 2 brands. and I wish joytoy were 6-7" figures, cause they look cool but they don't scale with anything I collect and I just think they're too small for the price.
@@unclejoe3338 technically the mcfarlane space marines are what properly scale with hasbro since they're supposed to be taller. but how tall are joytoy space marines?
You are correct! Value for the money, McF is really good. Bandai is the most expensive and in most people's opinions, the figure isn't worth the cost. I am not sure if can tell, most people in the chapter (channel) gravitate towards JT because they are a happy medium between cost and paint job.
Question about the INTERCESSORS line. Why do the Ultramanins and White Consuls have so much gold? For example, White Consuls should have a green outline on their shoulder pads.
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...
I own the Bandai and McFarlane versions and I agree with the review. The Bandai version is the far superior one in terms of paint job and accessories. The degrees of rotation on the legs of the Bandai version is not a big deal. Its not like I'm going to pose the figure doing the splits or any extreme poses.
I don't think it's fair to compare either McFarlane or Bandai to Joytoy because last I looked Bandai hasn't released a new figure in a long time and in all honesty neither has McFarlane
Well Bandai and McFarlane may not be making warhammer right now but the comparisons is nice cause you get to see the difference between them and put your money to what you believe you like more some don't like the 1/18 scale
I think that it is a natural human thing to compare very similar things specially the fact that this is really the only time in which I was able to do that. This is because the UM Intercessor is the only action figure that all 3 companies have made a figure for. Either way, you can use this video as a reference whether you want to spend your hard earned dollars on none or even all 3 of them.
@@SpruesNStuds I was being somewhat snarky so pay me no mind. Always look forward to your reviews of JT figures and will continue to do so. Emperor protects!
Hard to say brother Sprues, JT is great becouse the scale, the detail and tons of figures and chapters. MF, well, have a few of these and they look cheap to me couse each part of the figure is full of mold lines and excess plastic. The Bandai one is great, but think it looks like a robot and not a SM. Is there another manufacturer that you know of?? Great video as always, thanks!
Every single manufacturer of these action figures have their strengths and weakness (much like real life). There are definitely things that I like more than the other when comparing action figure manufacturers. 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. As for other manufacturers, I think that the only 3 are JT, McF, and Bandai.
Joytoy: 🥇 + Alot of figures (factions) - Expensive - Smaller + More detail + More to offer + Better painting then mcfarlane + + for having lion el johnson Bandai 🥈 - Very expensive + Huge + Painting + Alot of details - dossent have alot of other figures to be with - again very expensive compared to joytoy Mcfarlane: 🥉 - No painting + Medium size + Very cheap - poor details - poor paint - poor accessory Idk how u put joytoy on last place
well, price is the most important factor to me and in that regard McFarlane is by far the winner. But it is also in my opinion just a more well made figure.
You could display the McFarlane one next to the joytoy since you could pretend this guy is a tall marine i mean just look at Alexis Pollux Dorn doesn't need to look down talking to him.
What I don’t like about joytoys are their proportion. They follow the unrealistic minifig proportion. I always feel that both minifig and joytoy soace marine like dwarf
I got the space wolves wolf guard it's not great compared to my bandi figure. The Paint work is shoddy and looks rubber plastic. The face has good detailing but that's it, McFarlane are good at other figures like spawn looks great. the wolf guard I have trouble standing it up freely with out the rubbish little stand you get, overall I would say the McFarlane figure is 4 out of 10 for me my opinion.
McFarlane is lazy with figures lately. They're giving us very little variety of characters within the license they have with halfass paint jobs, shit articulation, and artist proof figures. Who the hell asked for those? They're basically telling us to pay them to do their job, in my opinion.
Hmmm I don't know if there is enough for me to do a review on them. While I have the "3.0" BA intercessor, there isn't that much difference between the 2.0 and 3.0
It was a depth review brother but seeing the end of the result i have to calm myself down,i was full of Macragge's wrath,such heresy,i may just assume that this is just the point of view from the Son of Sanguinius for the Ultramarines however as the Son of the Ultramar myself i have sworn to walk in the path of courage and honor so i have to say that: Joytoy one is the best cos i have tons of them Mcfarlane one is no 2 cos i have few of them Bandai one is no 3 cos i have none of them rofl Ok joke aside,i do wish Bandai stop making warhammer 40k Japanese style with those high prices,Bandai is great but please just stick to gundam,mechas and anime figures cos their space marines looks like an anime mecha style smh
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.
The moment you ranked the joy toy's paint as the worst, next to a mcfarlane that barely has any paint, you lost me

well, price is the most important factor to me and in that regard McFarlane is by far the winner. But it is also in my opinion just a more well made figure.

Agreed, he's the only one who makes figures you can troop build without having to take a second mortgage on your house.

all space marine own knife as rite of passage after black carapace
I'll admit to you, there are some things that Bandai does correctly on their action figures for sure!
What I don’t like about joytoys are their proportion. They follow the unrealistic minifig proportion.
I always feel that both minifig and joytoy soace marine like dwarf
Yeah JT did that on purpose. They follow the miniature of each action figure almost to a fault.
There's no way you ranked McFarlane higher than joytoy.
The McFarlane looks horrible! I was surprised
you don't discuss the price, so joytoy win
I got the space wolves wolf guard it's not great compared to my bandi figure. The Paint work is shoddy and looks rubber plastic. The face has good detailing but that's it, McFarlane are good at other figures like spawn looks great. the wolf guard I have trouble standing it up freely with out the rubbish little stand you get, overall I would say the McFarlane figure is 4 out of 10 for me my opinion.
I have some MacFarlane IV repainted them all 😂 chaos ent knightlord Taylos 🤟
McFarlane is lazy with figures lately. They're giving us very little variety of characters within the license they have with halfass paint jobs, shit articulation, and artist proof figures. Who the hell asked for those? They're basically telling us to pay them to do their job, in my opinion.
could you review 3.0 joytoy ultramarine intercessors
Hmmm I don't know if there is enough for me to do a review on them. While I have the "3.0" BA intercessor, there isn't that much difference between the 2.0 and 3.0
Excellent job 👍 u
Why thank you! Also thank you for dropping "in" and supporting the channel
Bandai one is over price
the size and price puts me off the joy joy toy mcfarlane wins for me
👍👍👍❤❤❤
It was a depth review brother but seeing the end of the result i have to calm myself down,i was full of Macragge's wrath,such heresy,i may just assume that this is just the point of view from the Son of Sanguinius for the Ultramarines however as the Son of the Ultramar myself i have sworn to walk in the path of courage and honor so i have to say that:
Joytoy one is the best cos i have tons of them
Mcfarlane one is no 2 cos i have few of them
Bandai one is no 3 cos i have none of them rofl
Ok joke aside,i do wish Bandai stop making warhammer 40k Japanese style with those high prices,Bandai is great but please just stick to gundam,mechas and anime figures cos their space marines looks like an anime mecha style smh
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.
I have to disagree McFarland wins for me , but hey great video, peace out.
Your crazy....JT looks the best....just stay out the hobby son
