McFarlane Toys Warhammer 40K Space Marine Primaris Intercessor Artist Proof Figure Review 

cause todd is a fan before a creator

bandai probably intended to make a model kit out of it, don't think they will now considering it'd probably cost twice as much as this figure. then again, warhammer collectors aren't exactly known for being stingy so who knows, we might get that too.

@@npc6817 we are stingy when it counts!

@@TommyWashow looks at forgeworld * yeeeah... but jokes aside I think many would enjoy a model kit space marine, would be easier to customize down to the joints and knowing bandai's level of color separation techniques it'd probably even be a breeze to paint.

@@npc6817 from what ive seen, those bandai ones look like they weigh about the same as a toilet paper tube

I want to paint mine, but that's gonna be a lot of Citadel Paint. I'm gonna try to check out your stream and see what you do, good luck!

Magnus: SPACE WOLVES!?!!?!?!!?!!??!

@@NerdNewsToday You could use Vallejo or Coat D'arms instead of Citadel.

⚙️Pray to the Omnissiah it will happen⚙️

Saaaaaame, my idea was to add a base for it as well based on Flashgitz videos

@@Crafterman535 with furries underfoot? 😂

@@JuanSilva-ym9pf and in chunks

@@Crafterman535 AVENGE ME, BROTHER!!!!

mostly hard plastic, the side skirts and the belt are slightly rubberized but not so flexible that they will ruin your paintjob, just don't force them into extreme bends and you can just treat them like solid plastic.

Don’t beat yourself up to bad. I preordered from WalMart. Just got my second email, that it’ll ship next month.

soak it in warm water

Not easily. You can boil the figure in hot water and that should make the pieces mostly come out, but some of them I think are going to be harder than others. It's not impossible to do a sub-assembly paint-job, but it's also not going to be easy.

@@NerdNewsToday cool. thanks for the tip.

yes, pretty easy, the shoulder pads come off super easy so it gives you a chance to paint under the pads very easily

@@ReviewThings I will have to try it for myself if I get another im willing to open. I want to paint one but I also like it just the way it is right now and don't want to mess up the figure if its going to be difficult to put it back together.

Head, Shoulder pads,m arms and legs, body and hip armour, the rest I'm very hesitant to take apart, but it is enough for an okayish paint job with the airbrush. If you're interested I've actually added some greenstuff and am turning one into Spacewolve, sharing pics of that on my Instagram and will paint him on twitch live 3pm GMT UK Time, Sunday.

For something so expensive, that's disappointing to hear. I wish Storm had the license so they could do it Justice as a higher-price figure, but also perfectly happy with McFarlane right now.

I think the underestimated how popular this line would be, Bandai did the same thing with their first release. I hope they increase some numbers for the next runs.

i got mine for $20...

Bought mine last week 25/06/2021

I knew it sounded wrong when I said it, but at least you knew what I meant!

NerdNewsToday sorry if I came off mean; I was not trying to be mean,

@@Therealblacktux No problem, it didn't sound mean at all. I made a mistake, no big deal!

@@NerdNewsToday ok, I just didn’t want to come off rude

They did just announce a Blood Angel hellblaster coming soon!

@@NerdNewsToday also a Blood angels Lieutenant

But my pile of shame hungers for more!

sounds like an improvement to me

They sure are, they say it’s .75 caliber but it’s more like a 2” caliber!

Do you know a good souse on how to swap them? The leg of mine popped off second day I had it, and I can't get it back on. I can do my best to line it up with the peg thats sticking out of the pelvis but trying to apply any preasure just turns the joint of the leg away from there rather than having it socket in. I've been trying for about 2 hours, and its to the point where the plastic at the top of the leg is starting to get ratty from all the stress I'm putting it under.

@@evelynlamoy8483 I had the same trouble.... sink the problem parts into warm water (under boiling temp) for a minute or so and try again... hope it works out... I was shitting myself when I did the same but it did work out...

​@@empathicparadox6041 Thanks. I was actually able to get the leverage to reatach the leg but only after removing the torso, and I couldn't get the torso back on until I soaked it in warm water. I ideally want to paint this fig eventually, maybe add some custom sculpting first. So its nice to know that even if its kinda rough to put together, it is possible.

@@evelynlamoy8483 lol I can imagine a slight panic setting in as you go through the process.... I took the panic to a whole new level yesterday, I sawed off the two jets with a razor saw and reconnected them with magnetic swivel joints.... I also bought a couple of “metal doll joint armatures” and will use these cool double ball joints as “servo arms”... I’m making a “tech marine”... two servos, one that holds the boltgun and the other will hold some type of light attachment /small turret cannon.... I will be making a cloak with hood, weighted down with tiny ball bearings , a face guard with scopes attached and extra plating for his armour.... I also just extended the barrel of the boltgun and drilled bore holes that can be rotated to close the holes to create an interchanging silencer, I also have a bipod type attachment that’s foldable and a stock is in the works that’s foldable.... all of this hopefully will be lit by the light servo attachment that will house a mini uv bulb which will be powered by a small battery and switch that just fits onto the bottom end of the power pack on his back.... as you can tell, I’m bloody enjoying this toy.... lol a tech ultra marine...

@@empathicparadox6041 Rad, The mods people are making for these are awesome. Saw a great video where somebody made a jump pack that attaches over the normal backpack. When I eventually get my workspace set up I want to get my hands on some greenstuff and really do a transformative sculpt over some of the pieces. Maybe a custom head so the helmet is remvoed. I can't wait to see more of what people are doing with them!
