Joytoy Xingtian Mecha Dark Source 1/18 review 

I like all detailing on the mechs, but just hate trying to put them together due to time constraints (family life and job). I can't wait for this one to come in for the mere fact it'll be read outta the box! Thanks for the excellent review as always!

Just gotten myself back into collecting and came across joytoy ever since fell in love with the lineups so far

Been waiting for this review! :D Yes, it looks to have great playability. Even better than FEAR series because you don't have to worry about parts falling off. Though, I also agree that some joints do look worrisome. Would love to see long-term review down in the future to see if those joints still hold up

I really wish the blades are removable with the armor plate stays on those arms, because it bothers me a bit.. overall all though looks great. Btw I pre-ordered the Zeus version!

Thank you so much for these ! You do a great job of showing them in depth but NOT at nauseam or super negative like a lot of people . Perfect balance. I recommend you to everyone. Keep up the good work. Love mechs with drivers and Warhammer 40 k

Thanks for the review Skellymate!! Looks way more fun than the tied on armor. Really wish that they sold the pilots separately, but I understand why they dont. Hope the the wifes bday went well! Have a great weekend my friend!!

This mecha looks great!! Less little bits to fall off too it looks like.

Great review as usual, mate! I got mine a few days ago as well and, while I absolutely love the design, I actually hate the articulation (which is why I think I'll pass on the Zeus). Due to the weird angles allowed by the leg joints, it's a darn nightmare to have his feet firmly planted on the ground. Adding to that is the fact that, even though some of the joints are STIFF, they are also loose paradoxically, because there's play between the ratcheting points. Not to mention the balancing act that, depending on how or what weapons you equip him with, is close to guessing the winning lottery numbers. As for the pilot, the thing that irks me the most is his "spray-on top", as the trunk is just an unpainted naked one. All in all, the big guy looks great and has some awesome new pieces, but once you get it in a good pose, it's more of a shelf queen. I'm going to detail mine with some additional "cautionary" decals (such as "Beware of Blast" for his shin thrusters) and have him "support" one of my 1:18 Abrams tanks, as the dark earth shade on them matches almost perfectly.

that's cool I can't wait to get one of these when bills are not due :)

When I saw Joy Toy written on the box.I fell to the floor shaking in cold sweat because.....I...need...that...Plastic crack.😱😵😌 I really like that figure.I only have one joy toy 1/24 scale mecha.And when I die....It will be Buried with me or Cremated.😳 Wow that got dark fast.💀 🎶Song of the day=Sun glasses at night..By Corey Hart (Can you imagine walking around at night in some Futuristic Cyberpunk city listening to this.)😎

Nice

Thank fuck there's no more assembly required, and NO STRAPS

WHERE does your intro come from !? "sit down and shut up" I feel like I remember it but can't REMEMBER from where?! I TRIED GOOGLE AND NOTTA...PLEEEASE HELP! It's like a song stuck in the head but you don't know the lyrics and it won't go away until you listen to it.

Please do a comparison of these two👍

Awesome review! Just one question, what size is the pilot figure is it 4.5 inches or 6 inches? Either way looking forward to your next reviews!

Hello i am starting to collect mecha dark source. Just want to know a COMPLETE list of all the dark source mecha relased 1/18 and 1/25 Where i can find a check list?

I can't move my ankle swivel and I'm afraid imma break it, loll. I'll warm up some water and try again later

Been looking into buying this. How’s the mecha holding up a year and change later?

sad to witness joytoy's latest release are overly influenced by war*****r and the cartoonish proportion tends to look short & chubby with stubby roundish weapons. miss the realistic proportion of steel bone armor series & god of war. but finally new release such as 1:18 xingtian & zeus and 1:25 steel bone 09 silver guardian recapture joytoy's signature design style & acumen

What is the height on this one compared to the Fear 1 and 5

seems like 1:25 god of war enlarged into 1:18 scale and yield good articulation and proportion

A toys or figurine

Can you send me any of these you dont like so i can give them to my sons for birthdays?

Jean-Claude!
