The first HORUS HERESY figure by Joytoy: ROGAL DORN

[@tristan4893]

You're one of the few reviewers if not the only one that shows the posing potential of this figure. Thanks! My Dorn just came today and can't wait to get back and open it up!

[@SkellywagsTV]

Thanks mate! Yeah, it takes a bit more time to do my videos, but showing a bit of posing is something I also appreciate from other creators. Nice! Get familiar with Dorn's articulation and enjoy

[@malcolmgreene8830]

I love the intro rest in peace Carl Weathers it was awesome to see that in the 40K humor, calling the lion Mufasa🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@SkellywagsTV]

Lol yes! As long as one person found it entertaining, then I'm happy. RIP to the legend Carl Weathers 🙏

[@primarch40K]

Great review It was great to see all three Primarchs together. Thanks much

[@SkellywagsTV]

Cheers mate, thanks for watching. Appreciate the feedback!

[@Tokioka]

Awesome poseability on this one. Great review! 👍

[@SkellywagsTV]

Yup! The simple design, really allows for more movement. Works really well!

[@trevormcguire6984]

Great video brother! All these Heresy figures are coming out great! Awesome time to be a Action Figure/Warhammer fan

[@SkellywagsTV]

Definitely got me hyped for the marines! I've got the despoilers on pre-order, will be looking to get Sigismund, Fafnir and Legion Praetor. Cheers mate!

[@trevormcguire6984]

@@SkellywagsTV I'm thinking I need to be somewhat responsible. Lol I don't review these on KZbin after all. I think I'm gonna get Dorn, Sigi, Fafnir and 2 of the cataphractii Terminators for my IF representatives

[@SkellywagsTV]

Part of my starting the channel was my growing addiction and needing a way to justify it to my wife! Lol Still, I can't go overboard, no bloody space!

[@marioshobbyhq]

Just got mine today: it looks so amazing. It is a bit too gold-y for my taste but he is the Praetorian of Terra, so there is turning back! BTW he is a big chonky boy, and with some of the best articulations I have seen so far: not that I play too much with my figures, but it is nice to have options! No idea why he has two grenades without a place to attach them on the armor ... probably he keeps them on the command table, you never know ... Thanks for you review, will unbox it soon!!

[@SkellywagsTV]

Cheers Mario! Pleasantly surprised at how much movement he can achieve. The two frags is an interesting choice, I was trying to look for them on his mini. Was unsuccessful. Enjoy your unboxing! Always great to open new figures, especially the first in a new line.

[@fryholecustoms]

Wow. He is awesome. Question, in your opinion does he have better articulation than rockfist? trying to decide which i might pull the trigger on. Thanks for the video and all your hardwork!

[@SkellywagsTV]

Ooohh Dorn has the butterfly joints, where Rockfist does not. However, Arjac's articulation is fairly straight forward and a smoother experience. I'd say go for the design you like more Gunnar. Arjac would still be my choice!

[@fryholecustoms]

Cool, probably going with Arjac.@@SkellywagsTV

[@SkellywagsTV]

Having said that, it's pretty fricking cool having a huge, gold primarch! Just did a headswap with Lion and really enjoying the look

[@FrostThedeadoneblake]

Billy Idol loves his gold armor. It’s going to be a gold wedding.😂😂😂💀

[@SkellywagsTV]

I knew he looked familiar! Lol

[@son_of_the_heavymetal1142]

Honestly, Emperor's sword and shield totally fit Dorn's armor style. He could look good with both

[@SkellywagsTV]

Coincidentally, i actually equipped him with those two relics! They suit him really well. And I did a headswap with Lion. So badass

[@donivanbiggs6786]

Magic pain glove, this action figure lacks a magic pain glove, tell me what I should do.

[@SkellywagsTV]

Don't worry, he's wearing it underneath his armour

[@New_Max.]

As a result, he doesn't look as bad as I thought at the promo. One question that has been bothering me since its release is is it possible to take off the cape?

[@SkellywagsTV]

Yup this guy is pretty decent! You can remove the cape but you will be undoing the glue

[@New_Max.]

@@SkellywagsTV Okay But in theory, if you tear it off, then it will also be pressed against the backpack, and visually not look broken?

[@SkellywagsTV]

It would hang over the connection of the backpack. The backpack doesn't press against the cape

[@nghietngavadentoi]

Dorn's golden armor is epic

[@SkellywagsTV]

Looks a lot better than what I was anticipating!

[@lunardeathblade2570]

With the helmeted head you got for your Rogal Dorn figure, did you paint it yourself, because the painted head I ordered from the same site is 3D printed, and the layer lines show through the paint in certain areas, and the paint itself is not 1:1 with the original figure's paint. But yours looks much closer. I also got a helmeted head for Fafnir Rann, but the fitment on both heads was awful, and the Rann head isn't even painted. So I was going to get molds made of both helmets so I can have them cast in resin, which won't have the layer line texture. Which I would then have to send off to be professionally painted to match their respective figure. Not sure if that's what you did.

[@SkellywagsTV]

Hey mate, mine is from toyverse.top, did you use them too? I got two painted custom heads, and both are really good quality paint. I've been planning videos on both to coincide with my affiliate partnership with them, which is still not ready. It's a shame yours wasn't up to par. I'll be getting more from them, so hoping they'll be as good.

[@lunardeathblade2570]

@SkellywagsTV Yeah, I used the same site. The paint is fairly close but doesn't match 100%, especially the finish. It's not as metallic as the original figure's paint. Also, the 3D print lines showing through the paint, mainly at the top, where it is round. I got a different helmet than you, though.

A golden opportunity from joytoy 😂

That is title I should have used! Lol

[@Samwicciki]

I very love this channel 👍👍🤣🤣

[@SkellywagsTV]

And I love you for watching!!

[@Colonel-zg9wz]

ive never found un-bearded or no stubble rogal sexy. This figure has changed my mind

[@SkellywagsTV]

He comes off too sexy that I had to get a custom helmeted head

[@jasonmckillip5936]

Jeremy Renner as Dorn confirmed for the Amazon series?

[@SkellywagsTV]

Let's get the message to Henry ASAP!

[@macksryanhold]

what a tragedy without the mutton chops

[@SkellywagsTV]

Yeah, the boy band look just doesn't cut it

[@MentoSgomentoS]

Does the winged helmet of Lion'el Jhonson fit with Rogald Dorn?

[@SkellywagsTV]

Kinda, but they're not the same connection. Dorn has a separate neck piece

[@MentoSgomentoS]

@@SkellywagsTV removing the neck piece don't you find a ball joint like in Lion?

[@SkellywagsTV]

It's not the same. The Lion and Gilly have the same neck system, which is a bigger ball on a peg that rests quite high up into the head. Dorn's is a small ball that is similar to normal Joytoy space marine neck joints

[@TheGrimTemplar]

I really wish he had a helmet other than that I love the figure.

[@SkellywagsTV]

I have found a solution! Hopefully. I ordered a helmet for him. Just waiting for it. Delays due to Chinese new year

[@SkellywagsTV]

[@dachandepred]

with no helmet and that odd hair sculpt ill pass on dorn

[@SkellywagsTV]

I've got a third party helmet on order. I'll post a video of it. Hopefully it turns out alright!

[@sashasky717]

yeah)) fistfest

[@SkellywagsTV]

Can't go wrong with some fisting fun

[@adventurepromo]

Elbows and knees are ratchet joints? I really dislike ratchet joints in figures. I feel like I'm fighting the figure.

[@dredgewalker]

Feels unnatural but it helps in stabilizing the character and prevents joints from loosening so you'd probably be thankful later on.

[@adventurepromo]

@@dredgewalker ha, I'm 41, so I've lived the later on. I think I'm still trying to capture the fluid movements I perfected with o ring Joes in the 80s. The smaller JoyToy figures are current favorites because they have a no ratchets. I don't pose my figures. They're my version of a stress ball, occupies my hands while I'm thinking.

[@SkellywagsTV]

No ratchet joints. Just very sturdy!

[@dredgewalker]

@@adventurepromo Had so many gi joes loosen up joints and replaced the o-ring on some of them. My primary collection is super robots so I'm used to ratchet joints and can't imagine them holding up properly due to the weight. Right now I've also started collecting robot spirits and sh figurarts and they have no ratchets but the joints hold up very well since they're small figures anyway. Though I do prefer ratchets when the figure is too heavy and the leg parts benefit the most from it. I've been collecting since the early 80's and most of my toys are japanese figures.

[@alecjones7299]

Dude, I love the playtime intro. Thank you. I have a smile from ear to ear. I’m going to deeply consider purchasing this guy. I hope you have a great day and thank you for all your work.
