JOYTOY 1/18 Warhammer The Horus Heresy Sanguinius, Primarch of the IXth Legion Blood Angels Figure Review: Bringing the Perfect Primarch to Life
I. Character Background and Collector Expectations
As one of the most popular Primarchs in the Warhammer universe, Sanguinius is renowned for his “perfection” —— divine countenance, exceptional leadership, and the mightiest single-warrior combat capability in the galaxy. From the redeemer of the “Flesh Tearers” to the guardian of the Eternal Gate during the Siege of Terra, his tragic end adds profound epic depth to the character. JOYTOY’s new 1/18 scale articulated figure (JT00218) fulfills collectors’ long-standing desire to visualize the “Great Angel” in three dimensions.
II. Unboxing and Basic Configuration
1. Stylistic Fidelity: The Awe of an Angel’s Descent
Standing approximately 18.8cm tall, the figure is modeled after Sanguinius’ classic appearance during The Horus Heresy:
Painting and Details: The golden artificer armor features gradient shading, with ruby inlays symbolizing Terra, Baal, and its moons. Natural metallic oxidation effects and weathered edges highlight a battle-worn texture.
Wing Design: The detachable white wings, crafted from ABS plastic, boast intricate feather textures and multi-joint folding. Fully extended, they span 25cm, vividly capturing the “angelic” iconography.
Weapon Accessories: Included are the Power Sword (Blood’s Edge) and Angelus Bolt Spear, both with gradient-painted blades and metallic spearheads. Their detachable grip design allows for dynamic posing.
2. Articulation: Balancing Statics and Dynamics
Joint Design: 28 points of articulation (including wing connections), featuring dual-ball joints and gear joints. The waist and thigh joints achieve 90° bending, while magnetic attachments secure the wings, balancing stability and mobility.
Play Experience: Folded wings can be stowed on the backplate without compromising standing balance. Interchangeable hands (gripping, open, weapon-specific) connect via ball joints, requiring gentle handling during swaps.
3. Materials and Craftsmanship
Structure: An alloy skeleton with ABS plastic armor plates weighs ~350g, offering a solid feel and resistance to deformation over time.
Paintwork: The golden armor uses vacuum plating for high gloss and scratch resistance, while the matte-finish white wings reduce glare, keeping focus on the figure’s details.
III. In-Depth Experience and Detail Analysis
1. Scene Interactivity
Base Design: The hexagonal base features etched Blood Angels legion insignia and bottom sockets, compatible with other JOYTOY Warhammer figures (e.g., Ultramarines, Space Wolves) for diorama displays.
Posing Versatility: Articulation allows recreating iconic stances like “winged charge” and “sword defense,” with adjustable wing angles enhancing dynamic appeal.
2. Accessory Expandability
Interchangeable Heads: Includes both unhelmed and helmed portraits. The unhelmed version showcases delicate facial sculpting with tampographed irises, conveying deep intensity; the helmed version features a red-lensed visor, embodying the “Red Angel’s Wrath” from lore.
Weapon Storage: The Power Sword magnetically attaches to the waist, while the Angelus Bolt Spear disassembles into shaft and head, enabling “spear-charging” or “back-mounted storage” configurations.
