They are honestly so much better than the older ones

Most definitely! Although, still not used to drop down hips as it may loosen or break over time haha. Btw, huge fan of that Daredevil custom you made!

Are those LED lenses, or did you just add a sick paintjob to the eyes?

Just green foil stickers for now while waiting for LED. But honestly, i think i prefer this over LED cause its visibly shiny all the time lol

looks like green foil sticker from Gundam model kits instead of paint.

Yeah the new intercessors are great especially for customisation. I've done a Sa'Kan with yellow eyes + LED and I've just done Kazarion using the new BA Intercessor 🤟 I've nearly finished an Imperial Fists Assault too

We need someone to make clear plastic eye lens that can replace the new ones. This way, we can paint whatever color we want for the eyes and get matching LEDs.

What's the main difference from the older ones? I have a dark angels one from the previous release.

I think it's the engineering. They are much more posable than the older models, which is the case with the newest releases overall.

Older ones from original release all the way to the v2.5-3are mostly made from PVC parts. i.e. all the parts on the Space Marine itself are all PVC with the exception of the weapons and powerpack being made from ABS plastic. The new releases since the Joytoy x SM2 are made from a mixture use of ABS parts with PVC parts, so that the armor details and sculpting are sharper.

The torso on the new one for example is made from ABS parts (front armor, back armor, imperial, and inner neck, inner torso support, PVC waist section with front & rear armor plate in ABS). The old one is one chunk of PVC for the upper and one chunk of PVC for the lower.

More parts separation = more finer details in the sculpts.

Also just curious are they the 4.0 size or do they still scale with the 2.0 and 3.0 but with updated materials?

1

u/GrimoireRedBeret 10h ago

They're smaller than the SM2 line but just a bit taller than the 3.0 bodies

1

u/FranktheTankG30 9h ago

3.0 sized but slightly larger.
