    Honestly, I would prefer Bandai's Figuarts, MonsterArts, and their Gundam model kits (most notably the High Grade) and the McFarlane Toys Warhammer figure line over the expensive P-Bandai Warhammer figures.

      The mcfarland, I mean, set aside the paintjob, they're pretty cheap and durable. I'm not a giant fan of the ones you got to paint, because these are action figures, the paint just rubs off, give me pre painted action figures.

    6:27 I am not sure if there is much of a market for this. Warhammer 40k is a series with a heavy foundation in model painting and customization- even more so than gunpla, since gunpla often aims to look fine with straight builds. This is relevant, because the McFarlane one has a grey, blank slate variant at $20. So... yeah. $220 left often like more than enough room to either buy an entire customization tool kit and paints... or you know. Just hire someone else to do it.

    • @kiltedcripple
      @kiltedcripple 2 года назад +3

      Agreed, customizing the McFarlane figures is a breeze, they're very easy to work with, and even if they get a price hike to 40usd for the Orks, still an absolute dream of a sculpt with reasonable articulation, and again, very easy to tweak into better articulation and vastly better paints.
      The JoyToy figures are pricey too, but you're getting lots of accessories and variant sculpts to really squad build, and the option is there for in-scale vehicles and larger units. They too are a better deal than the offerings from Bandai.

    I'm still in shock regarding how bad this figure is. The overall look and colour was bad enough, and don't get me started on that ammo belt, but this is insanity. For 220 bucks I could have made my own space marine, and have 180 bucks left over. The McFarlane figures are beyond this thing and it's 10x the price. It has barely any accessories, poor articulation, a mediocre paint job, and no electronics of any kind. They knew that next to no one would buy this and figured that making the price that high would allow them to make some kind of return.

  • @autumnridge5541

    This figure completely blows, it's price is outrageous the belly looks super weird with how the bottom flap of his belly just sticks out in the model it's tucked in, obviously you can move the chains to be over that, but why didn't they just leave that part inside of the torso proper? Also the paintjob is awful for this price point this figure is an absolute joke and power sword is painted so lazily too

    Me personally, I'm always going to choose several minis over one figure just because I do build and paint them (to a better quality than this) as well as play the tabletop game. But you'd think it would at least have the same level of detail as the mini it's based off of if not more so since it's easier to put intricate detail on a larger surface.

    The preview photos alone told me that those are garbage for their price tag. You can literally build a 10-man SQUAD of McFarlane's marines for the same price of the single Bandai. Im really surprised they messed those up so badly. Between the mold lines and paint application you mentioned, there's nothing that warrants a price tag anywhere above a 100 bucks. No weathering, hard plastic cape, and the sword is just a slap in the face (could've at least painted it differently), and at this price they could've AT LEAST put some LEDs in the helmet.

    In my language, there is a thing we called "Pre-[Ban-Lai]" which "Ban-Lai" means "F*cking Doomed" (yes, f word is mandatory in its meaning). So whenever Bandai came out with anything shitty and overpriced, it's a [Ban-Lai]...

    I was disappointed at the Intercessor. I didn't give this one a second look based on my experience.

    To cower before such a price tag would be heretical! I shall never betray the emperor! If this sacrifice proves to be my last, I only ask one thing of you...

    I have no idea why this figure isn't made by their Tamashii Nations division. For the same price, a Metal Build figure is superior in every single way.

      @@ronaldreaganrimjobs4670 I didnt even know when the release date was on this during the first window and there was no word that they would have a second wave of preorders. Idk where to get that info other than just periodically checking their premium bandai website to see if they have any new stuff.
