Unboxing & Review of JoyToy x Warhammer 40K Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuit

[@mostcomplicatedman8115]

im so happy that i live in a time where i can buy warhammer 40k figures . they have so much potential if you know how to paint . also well detailed review as always

[@SpruesNStuds]

Yup, detail is my middle name lol. I suppose it comes from my miniature painting background. Also, yes it’s a dream come true to be able to buy large scaled figures based on miniatures without having to paint all of them lol

Ok, I have decided that Tau are my next goto JT army - mecha, weathering, and even a "not that evil" lore. Thanks for the review that I watched and rewatched together with other Tau-related videos.

[@SpruesNStuds]

Hey no problem! Again thanks for the support for sure both here and on Discord. I love the Tau because of all the suits as well as their advanced tech

That flight stand is the same one they use for the various flying Dark Source 1/25-scale mecha (which wind up being similar in size to the the battlesuits, though meant to be much larger, respective to human-scale figures), it's great. One thing you didn't touch on is that, even though they weathered them, the black half-ovals that plug into the feet aren't actually meant to be present on the figure: those are just intended to be "negative space" standing aids, for when you have it posed on the ground instead of flying, that give the feet more surface area. If you're going to use the flight stand, you can just remove them.

[@SpruesNStuds]

Ah, it definitely costs less for a company to recycle a component that they already manufacture. Also thanks for pointing out that those ovals don’t belong on the figure. I didn’t know that detail

Great idea in reviewing other factions of w40k. Nice battle suit, great figure. It would be nice to take a look to the boyz too. Cheers brother Sprues, grear review as always!

[@SpruesNStuds]

Much appreciated that you are tuning into all my reviews. Yes, Xenos are also very important to the whole WH40K universe

How does it feel to the touch? Is the material some kind of heavy, hard rubber-like substance or just plastic? Is the model heavy and durable?

[@nguyenvuhoanglong3418]

Nice

[@SpruesNStuds]

Yeah this suit is pretty cool

[@johnmackrory8306]

Great review, an amazing model, I can feel a whole in my bank account already 😉

[@SpruesNStuds]

Thanks for the support! If you feel a hole, I’ve got a crater as a bank account 😂

[@garyvaughn2905]

Joy Toy is not good with mecha. They fall apart - what's fun about constantly putting parts back on? I don't understand why reviewers are ok with arms and legs falling off
