For a bit of information of what a genestealer and what the tyranids are. Tyranids are an alien race in warhammer 40k that devour planets and "biomass" to make their species stronger, using the biomass to produce more, stronger tyranids Genestealers are a form of tyranids that they send onto plants via asteroids or they infiltrate ships that are heading towards a planet. They are basically scouts who destroy and scout anything that'll "stop" the rest of the tyirands from invading the planet That's what I can remember, I'm probably wrong, I love warhammer 40k and i love your vids

@kvoltti 2 жыл бұрын

additionally Genestealers infect other races so their children are human genestealer hybrids and psychically dominated by the Genestealers. they hid in the fringes of society fermenting unrest and waiting for the tyranid Hive Fleets to arrive and prior to the invasion they rise up to attack the world from within.

From what I remember the figure in the video is a pure strain gene stealer which usually come about after several generations of gene stealer cultist reproducing on the planet and they're basically the ultimate life form for gene stealers able to take on space marines and defeat them in 1 on 1 combat.

@@markknox1194 tyirands don't have a gender, they don't need gender to survive because they produce via other means And it'd depend on the xenomorph and tyranid, but most likely the tyranid would win, tyranids are the "perfect" life form, they're whole thing is whatever kills them makes them stronger, and they've been killed countless times but they always come back stronger

I saw a review of this figure a few days ago and the second I saw the notification for this review I thought 'I'm willing to bet Robo don't know Warhammer, but it's a cool looking figure'. Glad I was right, it shows off Robo's passion for the hobby not being at all restricted. It really does look awesome, your comparisons to DC, Marvel and Star Wars make sense (Book of Boba Fett episode 1 creature anyone?), but I could see it alongside NECA's Pinhead figure as a hell demon, or someone could repaint it into some kind of Symbiote type creature, or it's something for Hellboy or Spawn to fight.

And at the $19.99 price point nothing on the market comes even close. The recent Hasbro price increase and use of the word "Deluxe" to hike it even more means fewer Hasbro figures on my shelf this year. And leaves more room for figures like this one.. The whole Warhammer 40k line are well built well painted and great figures. I do a bit of my own touch up to weather the armor and they turn out fantastic.

As an evil extradimensional horror to fight Doctor Strange, it's perfect.

I got 2 of these (more would be cool, but I don't army build) and the "Artist Proof" version with a different head sculpt. And $19.99 is Fan-F'n-Tastic! People are hating on McFarlane a lot these days, but personally, I've been buying a lot more McFarlane figures than anything else lately...

@tycondrius23 2 жыл бұрын

great review. have a few of these pre-ordered on bbts but they are not in yet so thanks for the amazon heads up. Genestealers are pretty much shock troops for the Tyranid army like the others have said they are sent in a head of the main forces to infiltrate and consume and hybridize with the inhabitants , they are definitely meant to have that crouched look over the standing upright. in addition there is also a grey Artist proof paint yourself figure with bladed arms (aka scything talons ) and chutuluesque style head ( I think called feeder tendrils)

@rsaaland 2 жыл бұрын

Hugely appreciate the review. Nice to see this line get a video with Fwoosh's production values and Robo's insights. The line itself really does have releases that feel like McFarlane's bringing their A-game. For the price point, the Necrons are great and even the Space Marines can compete with the Bandai release with just some quick painting and a minor modification for ankle rocking; the sculpt has far more appealing proportions too.

@gigashock237wilde7 2 жыл бұрын

(Less so for John Carter’s Tars Tarkas, tho.) And MCU Outriders. And Xenomorphs. Among other alien races. Savage Land Mutates had a four-armed guy (Barbarus?) and a dwarf with giant cranium (Brainulo?). Also, disappointed you don’t have a Doppelgänger, four armed Spidey (that hasn’t “donated” the extra arms), or Sugar Man to compare. 😉
